"What are you thinking?"

Bai Zheng stepped forward, his tall figure slightly leaning towards her, looking down at her dazed expression, assuming she was thinking about the recently departed Jin Chenye, his brows furrowing slightly.

"I’m sorry, I think I’m still not ready to accept a new relationship." Ye Mingmei came back to her senses, reached out to take Meimei from Bai Zheng’s arms, and turned towards the car, instructing the driver to drive away before Bai Zheng could react.

Disappearing before his eyes at an incredible speed.

Sitting in the back seat, watching through the rear-view mirror as Bai Zheng stood motionless by the roadside, Ye Mingmei gathered her gaze, her eyes already pooling with tears.

Constantly reminding herself that the man before her was just Bai Zheng, not Yu Xiuzhun...

Looking at the little Meimei in her arms who rubbed her eyes and quickly fell asleep again, her mind was a chaotic mess.

-

By the roadside, Bai Zheng stood silently, watching the figures of Ye Mingmei and her daughter completely vanish from view, his deep eyes always fixed in the direction they left.

On his handsome face, there was no expression, revealing neither happiness nor anger.

"Mr. Bai, the information you requested is ready, should we head back?"

The assistant walked up to him, respectfully reminding him.

Bai Zheng gathered his gaze, his thin lips moved slightly, "Did I come back too late?"

Three years changed many things, enough to make someone completely close off their heart.

Even his little princess, the person she loves the most is no longer him.

"Mr. Bai, as long as you can return, no matter when, it’s never too late, if Miss Ye knew your true identity... she would certainly not be like this now."

The assistant spoke confidently, looking at Bai Zheng with eyes full of admiration.

"..."

Bai Zheng glanced down at him, then stepped towards the car ahead, sitting inside and narrowing his mischievous eyes, "Give me the information."

"Yes."

The assistant followed a step behind, handing the folder placed on the driver’s seat to Bai Zheng, watching him break the seal and pull out the document, only then starting to explain.

"This is the personnel who secretly dealt with the Yu family three years ago, mostly due to the Dan Family’s influence. After the Yu family’s downfall, they didn’t relentlessly pursue, but a small portion remained deadly enemies of the Yu family, continuing to secretly antagonize them. However, the current Yu family headmaster has no ability to counter, so he can only be at their mercy."

Bai Zheng’s eyes tightened, his grip on the document slightly increased, the next second, his fingers released.

"None of this concerns me, Yu Xiuzhun is already dead, the fate of the Yu family was their own doing."

Once, he put the family first in everything, even dreaming of elevating the Yu family to the position of the first family.

But ultimately, when he needed the family’s support the most, his uncle and brothers were caught up in internal strife, scheming to seize his position as the family head, otherwise, the Yu family wouldn’t have ended up like this.

It was all karma.

"Yueman, how is she doing?" Bai Zheng paused for a moment, then elegantly parted his lips.

No matter what, Yu Yueman was his only sister. With the Yu family collapsed and him in a deep sleep for three years, she must have had a difficult time inside.

Thinking of this, Bai Zheng’s palms tightened.

"Mr. Bai, there’s no need to worry, since your incident, Miss Yueman has been cared for by Miss Ye, every holiday, Miss Ye would find time to bring the little Miss to visit Miss Yueman."
