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

Ningmo was thinking of new ways to add some romance to her relationship with Zhou You.

On the mountain.

Yun Mingyue watched Zhou You leave, then turned around to look at Yun Daidai, who was still lost in thought with her head down, even after they had moved away from the tomb.

"My dear daughter, what's wrong?"

"...It's nothing, Mother, no need for you to worry about me." Yun Daidai replied curtly.

"care?"

Yun Mingyue interlaced her fingers, hidden beneath her black dress, and curled her red lips into a smile. "Do you think I would care about a wicked daughter who wants to steal a man from her own mother?"

"That's true. I did tell you, Mother, that I would take your place. How could you possibly still care about me?"

Yun Daidai's slender, jade-like fingers slid from her collar to the hem of her black silk dress. She bowed slightly and said, "I was just being presumptuous. I'm very sorry."

"Replace?" Upon hearing this word, Yun Mingyue recalled what had happened at the company that night.

For some reason, she looked Yun Daidai up and down with a strange gaze, as if trying to find some clues in Yun Daidai.

When Yun Mingyue looked at her like that, Yun Daidai straightened her body and calmly responded to her gaze, her demeanor still elegant and composed.

"I still love him," she blurted out the truth. "I want to go back to him, in whatever capacity. Is there a problem with that?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it. If Yun Mingyue told Zhou You what she had said, it would probably be troublesome for her to try to gloss over the matter.

Yun Mingyue's gaze swept over Yun Daidai, and she actually praised her, "You have grown very quickly recently, and I am very pleased. It seems that you have finally kept my teachings in mind. Remember that no matter who or what we face, we must remain calm."

She paused, then changed the subject, "However, although you've grown rapidly recently, you'll probably have to work for another ten thousand years to steal my man from me."

"..."

Yun Daidai knew that what Yun Mingyue said was true, after all, she didn't even have the courage to take that step.

However, she clearly wouldn't back down in the face of Yun Mingyue's aggressive approach.

How will you know it won't work if you don't try?

"Heh, you're quite confident. You dated him for three years, and now you probably don't even know what he likes, right?" Yun Mingyue's sarcasm towards Yun Daidai was always spot on.

This was true before the two had confronted each other, and it remains true now that they have.

As expected, Yun Daidai's expression froze. After a while, she caught her breath and retorted defiantly, "You knew it?"

“Of course I know,” Yun Mingyue replied.

She paused for a moment, then began to recount Zhou You's preferences one by one in front of Yun Daidai, watching her daughter's expression change as a result, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"..."

After a brief silence, Yun Daidai spoke, "It didn't matter if I didn't know before, I know now, don't I?"

She countered, "I also want to thank you, Mother, for explaining things in such detail. I will remember it with gratitude."

Yun Mingyue's expression changed immediately.

Tap~~ Tap~~

Just then, Zhou You returned to Yun Mingyue's side with Ning Moxin.

"What are you talking about?" he asked curiously.

Before Yun Daidai could even show the joy of successfully turning the tables, her body tensed up instinctively.

She nervously glanced sideways at Yun Mingyue.

"We didn't talk about anything important, I just praised Dai Dai, after all, she's grown up very quickly recently."

Yun Mingyue replied casually, then took the initiative to walk down the mountain, saying, "We've done everything we needed to do, we can go back now."

The two, who had just come up from the foot of the mountain, could only follow Yun Mingyue as they began to walk down the mountain.

After leaving Nanling Cemetery, the group got into the car. Ning Moxin sat in the passenger seat chatting with Zhou You, while the Yun family mother and daughter sat in the back seat.

Yun Daidai finally found an opportunity, and whispered to Yun Mingyue, "I'm touching your shoulder."

Why don't you try to persuade them?

"How do you know I won't tell him?" Yun Mingyue retorted.

“You just now…” Yun Daidai hesitated.

"Mom and 'Dad' discuss their daughter's issues, of course, at night, in bed."

Yun Mingyue's lips parted slightly, the crimson lines resembling the beautiful patterns on blooming rose petals, appearing strangely vibrant against her all-black attire.

"My dear daughter, don't you agree?"

"..."

“He is not my father, not now, and never will be.” Yun Daidai clenched her hands.

385. I just love you.

“You should face reality.” Yun Mingyue paused. “This is better for me, for him, and… for you.”

"..."

After Yun Mingyue said that, Yun Daidai stopped talking, and Yun Mingyue, seeing that Yun Daidai was not speaking, also remained silent in a cold manner.

Neither of them spoke, and the back seat suddenly became very quiet.

The sudden silence in the back seat even affected Zhou You and Ning Moxin, who were making witty remarks in the front.

Ning Moxin turned around and glanced at the pretty mother and daughter who looked like two icebergs.

"Xiao You, I'm a little hungry. Shall we find somewhere to eat?" Anyway, Chen Tangtang probably won't be able to come back from Hong Kong today, so it doesn't matter whether we have a party tonight or not.

Rather, if they were having a good time with Zhou You, Chen Tangtang would definitely puff up her cheeks and send a bunch of messages in the group chat, indiscriminately bombarding everyone with her envious feelings.

If Ning Moxin is the lurker in the group, then Chen Tangtang is the Dragon King with an abundance of water.

"Okay." Zhou You glanced at the rearview mirror. "Sister Mo, Sister Hua, and Dai Dai, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"..."*3

"Um……"

Ning Moxin glanced at the expressionless mother and daughter, knowing she couldn't expect this pair, who had suddenly started competing to see who was more aloof, to speak up first.

She thought for a moment and said, "Let's go eat hot pot."

We'll order a hot pot with two broths, so you can have whatever you want – light or spicy, meat or vegetables…

Hot pot is such a convenient and wonderful thing.

"Hot pot?" Speaking of hot pot, Zhou You thought of the "perfect nourishing meal" he had eaten several times.

Of course, he won't be as worried about getting a sore throat from eating too much as before.

He's eating this "perfect tonic meal" now to cheer himself up.

"Xiao You doesn't want to eat hot pot?"

"I'm fine with anything, as long as Sister Hua and Dai Dai don't have any objections."

"I have no objection." *2 The mother and daughter spoke at the same time, then looked at each other, and continued to pretend to be aloof.

Seeing that they all agreed, Zhou You found the nearest hot pot restaurant on the car's navigation system, spent a little time driving there, and arrived at the restaurant.

This hot pot restaurant is doing pretty well; there are already quite a few people inside. The group found a private room, and each person took out their phone to scan the QR code on the table and ordered their food.

"Why did you order all this?" Yun Daidai noticed the unusually 'meaningful' ingredients in the mini-program shopping cart and turned to ask Yun Mingyue.

"Of course it's for my younger brother," Yun Mingyue answered without hesitation.

"..." Yun Daidai glanced at Zhou You, then silently lowered her head again to order food.

After the group ordered their food through the mini-program, a waiter brought the hot pot base into the private room. After she left, Ning Moxin probably noticed that the atmosphere between the mother and daughter was really awkward.

"Dai Dai, how has school been going lately?"

"It went very smoothly, thank you for your concern, Aunt Ning." Yun Daidai replied and then lowered her head, looking as if she didn't want to say anything more.

Ning Moxin could only look at Yun Mingyue, "Mingyue, the Yun Group is currently enjoying great success. Congratulations."

"Thank you," Yun Mingyue replied simply.

"..."

Seeing this, Ning Moxin shook her head and gave up on trying to ease the tension.

As for Zhou You, if it were only Ning Moxin and Yun Mingyue, he could be a bit mischievous, but since Yun Daidai was also there, there were some things he couldn't say.

And so, the group quietly finished their dinner.

Given the strange atmosphere between Yun Daidai and Yun Mingyue today, Yun Daidai naturally didn't want to go home. So, after leaving the hot pot restaurant, she took the initiative to say goodbye and prepared to take the subway back to her place.

Ning Moxin didn't want to trouble Zhou You to drive her home, so she went to the subway station with Yun Daidai.

"Sister Hua, shall we go home now?"

"Could you walk with me for a few steps?"

"of course can."

Zhou You naturally took Yun Mingyue's soft little hand and casually chose a direction.

The two strolled to a square where someone was busking. The singer had a guitar around his neck, a microphone in front of him, and a mobile phone broadcasting live. A QR code was prominently displayed for passersby to support him.

Singing and live streaming are now common practices among street performers, who are now aware of the importance of creating multiple revenue streams.

Yun Mingyue stopped at the edge of the square, listening to the singing. She suddenly remembered that she had sung a love song to Zhou You before, and she unconsciously sang it out as she thought of the tune.

My love~~

“I want you by my side~~” Zhou You immediately responded, “The love song that Sister Hua sang last time was very beautiful, I still remember it vividly.”

When Yun Mingyue heard Zhou You's praise, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. It wasn't just that he praised her singing, but more importantly, he remembered everything she had done so clearly. She felt a sweet sense of being cherished by him.

"Little brother, that's what makes you so lovable." Her eyes slowly moved in their sockets as she looked at Zhou You gently.

"It is my honor to be liked by Sister Hua."

"I like these things about you, but what do you like about me, little brother?" Yun Mingyue asked a question she had never asked before.
