"!!"

However, upon hearing these words, Ye Shiyu's shoulder trembled slightly.

Her hand, which was holding the needle, softened a bit. She blinked her eyes, gently stretched out her left hand, and pretending to adjust her black hair, touched her ear and her profile...

She thought Yan Huan was exaggerating her looks.

So, although her facial expression remained calm, her flustered body language still betrayed her current feelings.

But after touching her ear, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up a bit...

She seemed quite happy.

"..."

Having spent a long time with Ye Shiyu, Yan Huan became very sensitive to her every reaction, even if it was just a faint smile.

So at this moment, he belatedly realized that Ye Shiyu had misunderstood.

She had taken his exaggeration about her needlework as an exaggeration of her.

This felt like poking a tiger's butt...

It's better not to explain.

Thinking this, Yan Huan turned his head with a smile and awkwardly changed the topic,

"Mori, how about you learn for a bit? I'm going to grab a drink of water."

"Ah, okay, President Yan!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Over there, Mori Yana got the signal and immediately bounced over, sitting next to Ye Shiyu.

Meanwhile, Yan Huan smiled, glanced at Ye Shiyu, got up, and hurriedly went to find some water to quench his parched throat.

"..."

Fortunately, after Yan Huan's previous desensitization training, Ye Shiyu had finally gotten used to Mori Yana's interruptions without getting upset.

Perhaps it also helped that she naturally got along well with Mori Yana?

Just at this moment, while teaching, Ye Shiyu looked at her and asked,

"How's everything going with you and your mom?"

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Mori Yana pursed her lips and forced a smile, saying,

"How should I say this, it's been a bit troubling recently."

"...Specifically?"

Seeing her distress, Ye Shiyu, not knowing how to comfort her, could only think for a second and then lightly rested her hand on Yana's needle-holding hand to conserve her strength.

"Well, specifically... It always feels like since my mom started dating, she comes home much later... When I'm home alone, it just feels a bit lonely...

"And... even the messages she sends me on the phone have become less frequent, like... like my mom's focus has shifted away from me..."

Listening to this, Ye Shiyu, although not sure how to comfort her, suddenly thought of how her own mother had been busy with work recently.

Likewise, coming home late every day and having no time to pay attention to her.

That day, she even took a taxi home from the airport herself...

"..."

Mori Yana awkwardly lifted the needle, took a deep breath, and said a bit embarrassedly,

"But, I feel like it's my problem too... I'm this grown-up and still think about these things, it just feels like... like a mama's boy or something..."

Saying this, she looked enviously at Ye Shiyu beside her and hoped,

"If only I could be as calm and mature as Senior Sister Ye, maybe I wouldn't be so troubled... In the future, I will continue to learn from Senior Sister Ye!"

"..."

Facing her question, Ye Shiyu blinked and nodded,

"Mm..."

...

...

That night, in Jinghe District, at the Ye Mansion, at eleven-thirty.

"Mm, leave that matter to Xiao Wang, make sure it's implemented by next Friday."

"Click..."

The door of the Ye Mansion opened, revealing Ye Lan standing outside, wearing a white women's suit and holding a small leather bag.

Since her right hand was still holding the bag, she could only tilt her head to wedge the phone between her shoulder and ear, so that she could lift her leg and take off her high heels.

"Mm, okay, I understand. Send me the documents tomorrow, and I'll pass them to our domestic team after reviewing..."

After completing all this, she finally walked into the living room and hung up the phone.

"Miss, you're back?"

From the lit kitchen, Aunt Chen came out and greeted Ye Lan.

Ye Lan nodded, glanced quietly at the silent upper floor, and softly asked,

"Is Shiyu asleep?"

"Yes, it's been quiet for a while."

"Okay... Alright then, Aunt Chen, you should rest early. I'll just wash up and sleep quickly too. I need to head to the company early tomorrow."

"Alright, will do."

After this response, Ye Lan smiled slightly, took her handbag and phone, and walked upstairs.

On the third floor, as she passed by Ye Shiyu's tightly closed door, she observed it for a few more seconds before withdrawing her gaze and heading to her bedroom.

She didn't turn on the light in the bedroom; instead, she first tossed her handbag onto the bed, then turned to switch on the lamp.

However, as soon as the light came on, standing in the darkness, wearing pajamas and holding a pillow, Ye Shiyu suddenly appeared in front of her.
