Ye Li and Aunt Lan had always been worried that Li Xueqing would collapse again once she knew the truth, so they did everything they could to conceal it.
They were so invested in their act that on many occasions, both of them forgot that Ye Mushen had already left.
When Aunt Lan had finished baking bread and making soy milk early in the morning, she would casually brew a cup of black coffee.
It was only when she brought it out to the kitchen and saw the empty sofa that she remembered the master was no longer there. She then hurriedly poured away the coffee, fearing that Li Xueqing would see it later.
Ye Li, too, would come home and cheerfully shout, "Daddy, Mom, I'm back," and then proceed to cuddle with Li Xueqing, playfully expressing how much she missed her father.
Everything changed tonight after Li Xueqing appeared in the banquet hall.
There was no despair.
Nor was there a collapse.
Li Xueqing's condition was much better than they had imagined.
