After leaving my father and keeping my son, I built my own wealthy family, and my ex-husband's

"Ah...it's nothing," Ono replied casually. "Is there enough food? If not, I'll go cook another one."

After finishing the last bite of food in her bowl, Mingyun put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and said, "That's enough, I'm full."

Yu Ye immediately suggested, "After I finish washing the dishes, shall we go for a walk downstairs?"

"Let me call my secretary first."

Mingyun got up and went to the balcony.

After making the call, he instructed his secretary to contact Qin Pinsen immediately to discuss the matter.

Then we went to the kitchen and washed the dishes with Mino.

"You don't need to lift a finger." Yu Ye took the bowl and chopsticks from her hands and pushed her out of the kitchen.

Mingyun smiled and said, "I think we should hire a nanny."

"What, you think I'm bad at housework?" Ono asked deliberately.

Mingyun shook her head. "No, I have money now and can afford a nanny or maid, so you can relax a bit more."

Yu Ye grinned. "So you're worried about me."

Mingyun's cheeks flushed slightly. "No, I didn't."

"You want to buy me a house and hire a nanny so I can relax. Isn't that just showing your love and care?" Yu Ye said, slowly lowering his head closer.

Just as their lips were about to touch Mingyun's lips.

Mingyun subconsciously tilted her head slightly.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Yu Ye's eyes.

It's been over a year since we got married.

The atmosphere between them is very harmonious, especially when Tianheng is around, they are just like a family of three.

Furthermore, Mingyun did not resist physical contact with him.

They hugged, and kissed each other on the forehead and cheek.

But there always seemed to be an invisible membrane separating the two of them.

So far, we have not kissed, let alone had marital relations.

Yu Ye was trying to break through little by little, but... every time he wanted to get closer, Ming Yun would react the same way.

Miyu felt inexplicably tired.

He was just about to ask her why she always resisted taking their relationship any further.

Mingyun's phone rang.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call." Mingyun turned around and took out her phone.

It was the secretary calling.

The secretary told her that someone had already signed a contract with Qin Pinsen before her, and because of what had happened before, even though the secretary said they were willing to pay the penalty for breach of contract, Qin Pinsen did not accept it.

This means that she missed out on the opportunity with the Qin family.

After finishing her call, Mingyun stood there for a long time.

Mino wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen, hugging her from behind and whispering, "What's wrong, honey?"

Mingyun pushed his hand away, turned around, and said angrily, "It's all your fault! Why did you say you weren't in a hurry? The Qin residence has been taken by someone else!"

Of course, Mino knew what was going on.

But he didn't say anything right away. He wanted to tease her, so he deliberately put on a nonchalant expression and said, "It's okay if you didn't buy it. It's a good thing. You saved money."

Mingyun got even angrier, turned around and walked to the sofa to sit down, her face stern.

Yu Ye followed her, "You said you were going to buy the Qin Mansion and give it to me. I don't even mind that you didn't get it, so why are you still unhappy?"

Mingyun didn't say anything.

Yu Ye smiled and comforted her, "Okay, don't be angry with me anymore. I'll apologize, okay?"

Mingyun took a deep breath, looked into Yu Ye's eyes, and after a long while, said, "I... I'm not angry with you, I'm mainly angry with myself."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Ono sat down next to her.

Mingyun lowered her eyes and said, "The reason I wanted to buy the Qin Mansion for you was... to make it up to you. We've been married for over a year now, and I've tried to convince myself that we're truly husband and wife, but... I don't know why, I just can't seem to do it."

Mino's strong face stiffened involuntarily.

Mingyun continued, "Perhaps we really can't go back. I'm sorry..."

Yu Ye pursed his thin lips, then smiled and said, "If I can't do it, I can't do it. Anyway, our contract will expire in a year and a half."

Mingyun's heart suddenly ached. She gave a soft "hmm" and continued, "Since we couldn't buy the Qin residence, I'll just give you the 1.5 billion yuan that was originally planned for the purchase."

Yu Ye was silent for a moment, then said, "Why does it sound like I'm being kept?"

"That's not what I meant," Mingyun said earnestly. "I just wanted to make it up to you. If you feel it's not enough, I can give you a little more."

Yu Ye frowned, staring intently at Ming Yun. "Now that you have money, do you think you can solve everything with money?"

Mingyun replied, "No... I don't think so."

Yu Ye stood up and said, "Back then, you said you dumped me because you thought I was poor. Now... you're trying to compensate me with money. I feel insulted again. Fine, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll move out. As for how to explain it to Tian Heng, you can handle that."

Before Mingyun could say anything...

Then Mino left.

He didn't bring anything with him; he didn't have much of his own here anyway.

Mingyun watched him turn around, watched him open the door, watched his figure disappear through the doorway, and watched the living room door close.

She felt as if a voice inside her was urging her to bring him back.

However, she forced herself to hold back.

Perhaps this way... is better for both of us...

She sat there on the sofa, lost in thought for a long time.

Until the doorbell suddenly rang.

She jumped up with a start and quickly went to open the door.

A strange man appeared before me.

A flicker of disappointment, imperceptible to herself, flashed across Mingyun's eyes before she asked, "You are...?"

The man opposite him was Mr. Zhao, one of Yu Ye's subordinates.

But Mingyun didn't recognize her.

Mr. Zhao took out a document and said, "Ms. Ming, this is the transaction contract for Qin Residence. The money has been paid in full, and you can go and complete the transfer procedures at any time."

Mingyun was stunned. "What do you mean? If you bought the Qin Mansion, why are you giving it to me?"

Mr. Zhao said, "It was bought by Mr. Yu. He said he wanted to give it to you."

Mingyun's head was buzzing, and she froze completely.

So... the person who bought the Qin residence first was Yu Ye?

"Ms. Ming, the documents are here. Goodbye." Seeing that she was in a daze, Mr. Zhao placed the contract inside the door and turned to leave.

……

Mingyun considered it for three days.

In the end, they decided to go through the transfer of ownership of the Qin residence. At worst, they could wait until the contract with Yu Ye expired and then return the Qin residence to his family.

Not wanting to meet Qin Pinsen, she signed an authorization form and handed it over to her secretary to handle the property transfer for her.

But I didn't expect that.

On the day the transfer was completed, Qin Pinsen arrived at the Liujin Mansion.

Specifically, he was waiting for her in the underground parking garage of the Liujin Mansion.

As soon as she got out of the car, Qin Pinsen hugged her tightly.

Mingyun was startled and struggled to break free, kicking Qin Pinsen in the stomach.

Qin Pinsen clutched his stomach and said, "It's really not easy to see you these days..."

Mingyun took a few steps back and warned, "We have nothing to do with each other. You'd better leave now, or I'll call security."

"I meant no harm..." Qin Pinsen looked haggard, raising his hands. "I just... want to talk to you. Give me three minutes, please... I beg you..."
