After hearing this, Shi Ye fell into silence.

Qingli couldn't see through the emotions in his eyes and asked, "Why are you silent? Don't you feel proud to have such an amazing wife? I am especially proud to have a friend like her."

"Proud." The curve of Shi Ye's lips seemed to be smiling.

His wife was indeed more capable than he imagined.

He was naturally proud of her, and had always been proud of marrying her.

But at this moment, he felt more heartache.

Only those who have no one to protect them can make themselves strong.

Because no one can shelter them from the wind and rain, because they have to shoulder everything on their own.

He and Lan Lan used to be such people.

But now, Lanlan has him.

He wanted to shield Lan Lan from all the wind and rain, let her be an ordinary girl, let her be weak and not so strong.

this is the last time.

He would never let her take risks again.

After making a secret decision in his heart, Shi Ye turned around and strode away.

Qingli quickly followed, "Where are you going?"

"go back."

"Aren't you going to be a follower?"

Shi Ye did not answer Qingli and quickened his pace.

Qingli looked at his back and smiled secretly, "Not bad, not completely a stubborn bull."

When they arrived at the parking lot, Shi Ye stopped by the car door, turned his back to Qing Li and said, "Wait ten minutes before getting in the car. I'll make a phone call."

Without waiting for Qingli to reply, he opened the car door with his bony hands and got in.

"..." Qingli looked at the closed car door and frowned, "You really treat me as an employee. I'm not your subordinate."

Even though he complained like that, Qingli still waited obediently outside the car, just folding his arms angrily and leaning his back against the car door.

inside the car.

Shi Ye took out his cell phone and looked at an overseas mobile phone number with no remarks. After a brief moment of contemplation, he took a deep breath and pressed the dial button.

The call was quickly connected, and Shi Mufan's magnetic voice came out of the phone, with a bit of surprise and joy, "Xiao Ye."

Shi Ye was stunned.

He thought that because of the time difference, the call would not be connected so quickly.

The sudden phone call shook the mental preparation he had just made. His thin lips moved slightly, and he didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment.

"Xiaoye, why aren't you talking?" Shi Mufan asked, "Is it because Miss Gu doesn't have enough antidote?"

Shi Mufan knew very well that his son would not take the initiative to call him unless it was something extremely important and he had to do it.

"There's enough antidote." Shi Ye asked, "Are you able to talk now?"

Over the years, Shi Ye seemed to have lost the ability to communicate with them.

An ordinary father and son would ask out of concern after answering the phone, "Why aren't you resting so late?"

It was early morning in Country M.

Shi Mufan: "It's convenient, you decide."

Shi Ye: "She told me about the time you went to see Lan Lan. Didn't you lie to her?"

In his heart, he didn't believe that Shi Mufan could do it.

So after hearing what Lan Lan said, he never called Shi Mufan to ask, and he didn't want to contact Shi Mufan actively.

He even suspected that Shi Mufan's conversations with Lan Lan were a conspiracy between the couple, in order to make Lan Lan relax her guard and vigilance.

But now, for Lan Lan, in order to solve these problems as soon as possible, he was willing to hold on to a little hope and believe in Shi Mufan.

Lan Lan will not feel at ease until the organization's issues are resolved.

Only when everything is settled will Lanlan not slip away from me again.

Shi Mufan said: "Every word I said to her was absolutely true. I went to see her alone, which has shown my sincerity."

Shi Ye asked: "How long will it take you?"

Shi Mufan said: "It's already being deployed. Now I can only promise that I will handle it as soon as possible."

Shi Ye asked again: "Is there anything you need my help with?"

"No need." Shi Mufan sighed, his voice full of guilt, "Xiaoye, I'm sorry about your wedding last time. At that time, I... I couldn't stop her."

As parents, they were unable to offer their blessings at their child's wedding, but instead did something like that, which made Shi Mufan feel ashamed and determined about what he had to do.

Shi Ye frowned.

What he wanted to hear from them was never an apology.

Because saying sorry won't change anything.

"No need to explain, I just hope you can fulfill your promise as soon as possible, otherwise..." Shi Ye's voice became so low that it died away.

Shi Mufan also didn't want to hear such heartless words from his son, so he quickly replied, "Don't worry, I will do it as soon as possible. You take care of your little family, don't worry."

"Heh." Shi Ye sneered.

That crazy woman, I don’t know when she will go crazy next time.

How could he not worry?

He asked, "Last time she didn't achieve her goal, didn't she continue to plan after returning?"

"..." Shi Mufan fell into silence and did not answer.

It doesn't look like anything good.

Shi Ye stopped asking questions and said coldly: "I'll give you a month. If you can't handle it, Lan Lan and I will take action."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Turning around, he saw Qingli's back leaning against the car window. He bent his knuckles and knocked on the window glass.

Qingli walked around the front of the car, opened the driver's door and got in.

She turned back to look at Shi Ye curiously, her lively eyes flickering, "Master Shi, Lan just left and you avoided me and called. Are you calling some mistress or backup?"

"What do you think?" Shi Ye's tone was filled with impatience.

"If I knew, would I need to ask you?" Qingli curled his lips, "Anyway, if you dare to have fun with other women while Lan is away, I will definitely not let you and that woman go."

"I'm not that free." Shi Ye was too lazy to talk to Qingli. He turned his head to look out the window and gave Qingli a stern look.

Qingli refused to give up, "You don't have that much free time, does that mean you would go and have an affair if you had time?"

Shi Ye frowned, his patience almost gone, and he squeezed out two words coldly from between his teeth, "Drive!"

Qingli pursed his lips, turned back to drive, still muttering:

"I heard that there is no man in this world who doesn't cheat. Lan loves you so much. If you find another woman behind her back, even if she forgives you, Mo and I won't forgive you. Oh, and what about the people in the Zhao family?"

Shi Ye had clenched the fist on his knees.

No one dared to talk so much in front of him.

I should have insisted that Qingli go with Lanlan.

He resisted the urge to throw Qingli out of the car, closed his eyes, raised his hand to rub his eyebrows, and slowly let out a breath.

Forget it, for Lan Lan's sake, he endured it.

There is no need to be so fussy about it with a little girl.

Just think of it as a fly buzzing in your ear.

After a busy afternoon at work, Shi Ye rushed to the kindergarten gate and waited a few minutes before Shi Xingran was about to finish school.

He was worried that Gu Jinlan was going on a long trip today and Shi Xingran would be in a bad mood, so he took time out to accompany him.

He thought his son would be happier seeing him, but when Shi Xingran got in the car and saw him, he was surprised, frowned, and even a little unhappy.

"Dad, why haven't you left yet?"
