So all the wives were waiting for me to break up with them.

As for Chen Tangtang, she probably hopes there will be more people and it will be more lively.

"Hehe." Yun Mingyue smiled enigmatically and tapped the screen lightly with her finger.

Flowers Bloom in Wealth and Prosperity: [We can spend Valentine's Day together, as long as you don't mind my brother and I having a 'happy time' in the room, and you can only hear the noise from outside.]

A handsome and considerate male god: [???]

Zhou You sent a string of question marks in the group chat, then pinched Ning Moxin's thigh, who was leaning against him.

"Sister Mo, don't be angry."

"Why would I be angry?" Ning Moxin rested her head on Zhou You's shoulder. "Although the way she did it was a little strange, Mingyue just wanted to spend Valentine's Day with everyone, didn't she?"

"..."

Zhou You remained silent for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Sister Mo, do you have some kind of special fetish, like listening to noises outside?"

308. It's not that I doubt my dear daughter...

Zhou You's question was not unfounded. Normally, Ning Moxin would definitely be unhappy to see Yun Mingyue reply to her like that, right?

"what are you thinking?"

Ning Moxin was taken aback by Zhou You's question, then gave him a light pinch, half-laughing and half-crying. "I just think that if it were Mingyue's personality, she would have definitely refused outright before. But now she's suggesting that we can all live together, even if the way she does it is a bit strange. It proves that she's now..."

“I feel that Sister Hua is simply trying to show off to you and Sister Bing.” Zhou You had a different opinion.

If Yun Mingyue had truly given up on arguing, why would she still be so affectionate with him every day and control his "ammunition" as before?

"Xiao You, you can ask Mingyue what she thinks in the group," Ning Moxin suggested.

"Shall we ask?"

The handsome and considerate male god: [Sister Hua, would you like us all to celebrate Valentine's Day together?]

Flowers Bloom in Wealth and Prosperity: [Because I told you, you're definitely trying to find a way to get me to spend Valentine's Day with you guys, and you'll definitely be very tired then. I don't want you to be exhausted, little brother.]

The handsome and considerate male god: [Hmm...]

The handsome and considerate male god: [It's my fault, I'm sorry, Sister Hua.]

Seeing Zhou You's obedient and apologetic attitude, Yun Mingyue, who was far away in the Caiyun Building, smiled and put down her phone.

She experienced that long-lost warmth during the New Year, and a tender feeling of warmth still lingers in her heart. Plus, just like she said in the group chat, she didn't want Zhou You to be tired…

"Consider this your reward for making me have a very happy New Year."

She tidied the documents on her desk, got up from her office chair, went into the small bedroom next door to change her clothes, and was just about to leave the office.

Click~~

Yun Daidai walked in from outside carrying a stack of documents.

"Chairman."

She walked over and placed the documents on the desk. "I've processed all these documents. You can check them tomorrow."

"All taken care of?" Yun Mingyue asked with slight surprise. "You've been working so hard lately. I thought I'd have to wait until Manager Zhou came back to work tomorrow to finish all this."

Yun Daidai maintained a similar aloof demeanor to Yun Mingyue, her face expressionless, but her voice subtly revealed a hint of undisguised smugness.

"Chairman, please don't underestimate me."

"Really? I hope you didn't just write something down to appease me."

Yun Mingyue reached out and picked up a document, looking at it intently. Sometimes she would scrutinize a particular passage repeatedly, a thoughtful expression on her face, before nodding or shaking her head.

Yun Daidai, standing next to her, outwardly appeared confident and 'just look at me, I'm full of confidence,' but in reality, she was secretly glancing at Yun Mingyue out of the corner of her eye.

When Yun Mingyue nodded, she secretly clenched her hands; when she shook her head, she frowned, trying to recall where she hadn't handled things well. After all, she had indeed been much faster than usual this time, so perhaps she hadn't checked things carefully enough and made a mistake.

Snapped!

After a while, Yun Mingyue put down the document in her hand.

"If you think there's a problem, I can take it back and redo it..."

"No need." Yun Mingyue waved her hand. "It's well written. Keep up the good work next time."

"..."

When Yun Daidai heard Yun Mingyue's praise, she looked at her with a somewhat dazed expression.

When was the last time she heard Yun Mingyue praise her?

I have absolutely no recollection of it.

"What's wrong with you?" Yun Mingyue approached Yun Daidai.

"I……"

Yun Daidai stopped pretending to be expressionless and stared at Yun Mingyue with a complicated expression. "...I just didn't expect you to praise me."

"Ok?"

Yun Mingyue asked with a slight doubt, then she lifted her head, propped her face up with one hand, and looked at Yun Daidai for a moment, "If I praise you, you won't be moved by me, will you?"

"How could that be?!" Yun Daidai replied coldly. Yun Mingyue had stolen her boyfriend, so how could she be moved by Yun Mingyue?

This is utterly absurd and utterly ridiculous!

She was just feeling a bit conflicted.

The iceberg that is Yun Mingyue has been melted, which is a good thing for her in a way, but...

If the person who melts the iceberg is her ex-boyfriend, and the person she wants to win back now, then everything is different.

The kinder Yun Mingyue was to her, the more an indescribable emotion welled up inside her.

Why couldn't she hold onto that man whose warmth was enough to melt an iceberg?

"Indeed, given our current relationship, it's impossible."

Yun Mingyue nodded in agreement, then turned half her body away so that Yun Daidai couldn't see the expression on her face.

Her voice remained as cold as ever, "Besides, the reason I asked you to keep up the good work is simply so that you can inherit the group as soon as possible, so that I can marry my brother with peace of mind. If you are moved by this, then that's just ridiculous."

"..."

Although Yun Daidai was not moved by Yun Mingyue to begin with, she was still annoyed when she heard Yun Mingyue say that.

"If you're free, you can go home now." Yun Mingyue glanced at the time. She had things to do that evening and didn't have time to keep dawdling with Yun Daidai.

After saying that, she walked out of the office on her own.

"There's one more thing."

A thought that had recently crossed Yun Daidai's mind after realizing that Valentine's Day was just around the corner made her want to ask Yun Mingyue to stay.

“I have a lot of free time before the start of the semester, so you can assign me more tasks.”

"Would you like some more work?"

"Can't I do more?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Mingyue's expression also became very strange. "It's not that I doubt you, my dear daughter."

She paused, then walked a quarter of the way around Yun Daidai. "This is really not something you would say, Daidai. You don't have some strange plans, do you?"

Yun Daidai turned her head to look at Yun Mingyue, who had walked to her left. Her eyes flashed with a special emotion, but she deliberately put on a provocative smile. "What? Mother, are you afraid?"

"You don't need to deliberately try to provoke me."

Yun Mingyue thought for a moment. With so little information, it was hard for her not to guess what her good daughter was planning to do. But to be honest, she wasn't too worried because she would definitely be with Zhou You on Valentine's Day.

Yun Daidai has no chance.

"Since you brought it up, I will make the arrangements. I just hope you won't find it too tiring."

Yun Mingyue decided to increase Yun Daidai's workload, by half of hers and three-quarters of Zhou You's.

Let her see for herself how much her young daughter has grown during this time.

"Of course not," Yun Daidai replied.

Yun Mingyue and Yun Daidai passed each other by.

Just then, the sun completely disappeared below the horizon, plunging the city and the Caiyun Building into darkness in an instant, followed by a distant, shimmering expanse of lights.

Sizzle~~

Yun Daidai stood alone in the office where the lights had been turned back on.

She walked slowly to Yun Mingyue's seat, looking at the position that represented the chairman of the Yun Group, the pinnacle of power in the entire group, and what she would inherit in the future.

I raised one hand to rest on the back of the chair and gazed at the night view outside the floor-to-ceiling window, at the dreamlike city of Hangzhou bathed in lights.

The businesses owned by the Yun Group here will provide her with wealth that she could never spend in several lifetimes.

So why can't we hope for love?

Yun Daidai murmured to herself, suddenly understanding Yun Mingyue perfectly. Yes, as the chairperson of the Yun Group, the social realities that would trouble others—like owning a house or car—were not problems for her...

She never needed anything material.

“Mother, I am the same as you.”

Yun Daidai gently pushed the boss's chair, turned around, and left the office without looking back.

…………

After leaving Caiyun Building, Yun Mingyue did not drive, because the location of the dinner party was not far from Caiyun Building, and she walked there in a short while.

It's worth mentioning that she no longer wears high heels to regular parties.

Firstly, as I've become more familiar with these women, the strategy of using my queen-like aura to suppress them is no longer working.

Secondly, wearing high heels while shopping is tiring; it makes the soles of her feet hurt.

Yun Mingyue walked into the restaurant. There was a large pond at the entrance, with lush bamboo on both sides. A gentle breeze blew through the corridor, making the water surface shimmer, and koi carp swam in the shallow water.

In the reception area, there is a portrait of Alexander the Great, which vividly portrays the legendary figure with modern fine painting.

"So this is what Alexander looks like?" Yun Mingyue glanced at him a couple of times as she passed by.

The waitress smiled gently, “This painting is a work by the master François, a genuine piece, which the restaurant acquired at auction for one million eight hundred thousand US dollars.”
