Dadao’s feelings towards the Yu Family are absolutely different from Ma Lv, who wants to use them as a stepping stone to fly higher.

In Ma Lv’s eyes, the Yu Family is just a stepping stone from humble beginnings to wealth; it provides a comfortable job and is merely a stage of his journey. If he finds a better opportunity, he’ll jump ship in a heartbeat.

But in Dadao’s and Yu Minglang’s eyes, the Yu Family is the starting point of dreams, a place to channel ambitions and expand horizons, a lifelong mission to protect, embodying a man’s passion and ideals.

Yet, Dadao still chose to leave, not because he doesn’t love, but because the one he loves needs him.

"Actually, when I did the personality analysis, I guessed Dadao would do this, but hearing it for real, I still have some indescribable feelings," Qian said. When she came from Water Lily, she anticipated that Dadao might eventually make this choice, but she felt a bit regretful.

"I believe he’ll succeed no matter where he goes. There’s a platform at Water Lily for him to shine as well. Someone as outstanding as him couldn’t go wrong anywhere."

"Then why hasn’t he quickly gone to Water Lily, leaving them as zombies barely clinging to life?" Qian felt that Water Lily was barely hanging on, even a strong woman couldn’t overcome the hurdle of emotions.

The Teng Family’s issues have been resolved, and they’ve untangled themselves from Song Qingwu’s binding. Why hasn’t anyone hurried to save Water Lily?

"The Teng Family still has things he needs to handle—wait, I’m getting a call." Yu Minglang gestured for a pause.

"Hello, Dadao—what?!"

"What did he say?"

After Yu Minglang hung up, Qian curiously asked.

Yu Minglang gave a sly smile, beckoning Qian to come closer.

"Wife, do you want to do something fun tonight?"

"Oh?"

Yu Minglang whispered something to Qian, and both showed a mischievous grin. Everything’s perfectly fine with this plan.

"Hurry up and prepare the skewers, and call over Water Lily and Liumei later." Mentioning fun, Qian got excited. These days had been busy dealing with Mai and Song Qingwu, so it was time to relax.

"Why do I feel we forgot something?" Yu Minglang vaguely remembered there was something...

"Oh! I remember, Song Qingwu brought so many baskets of fruit. I’ll go and make a fruit platter to chill, it’s best to eat at night." Qian stood up.

"Right, my wife is so smart~"

The couple was so absorbed in their eating, drinking, and playing that they splendidly overlooked something.

Who brought the fruit? Song Qingwu. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

What happened before seeing Song Qingwu? A brawl between Aka and a strong man.

Qian and Yu Minglang were so immersed in the joy of dealing with Song Qingwu that they completely forgot about Aka. Poor Aka, she gave her heart to someone who didn’t appreciate it!

Yu Minglang also remembered how tense his wife was today. Finally, with the crisis averted, it was time for everyone to relax with a barbecue.

But both Qian and Yu Minglang forgot about the yellow-haired Aka who got injured saving Qian.

The miserable Aka was still waiting in line at the hospital for a checkup. Life is tough...

Wearing less in summer makes it easy to sweat, and crowded places always have strange smells. Aka, already having internal injuries, felt dizzy from the mingling scents of people, nauseating!

Finally, unable to stand it, she stood up for some fresh air. Dizzy, she didn’t see ahead and bumped into a man coming towards her!

Zheng Xu was holding his father’s diagnosis, ready to find a doctor when he saw a reckless soul wobbling like a drunk towards him.

Zheng Xu dodged left, and she swayed left with him. He tried dodging right, the yellow-haired girl with a duckbill cap swayed along too. Wasn’t watching where she was going, so frustrating.

Recently Xu’s temper had improved; otherwise, he would’ve punched already.

Just then, an emergency trolley passed by, doctors and nurses pushing it quickly inside, and Zheng Xu stepped aside to avoid it, as did the yellow-haired girl, and finally, they collided.

Zheng Xu felt a heavy object bump into him. Despite looking thin, she was quite solid, and he felt as if he’d sustained an internal injury. This damned... Xu couldn’t tolerate it, was about to kick this reckless girl.

Amidst the mix of sweat and disinfectant scent, a sudden whiff of a pleasant men’s cologne struck Aka, refreshing her senses. She sniffed repeatedly, it was lovely.

Is this a dog? Zheng Xu found it unbearable as he grabbed Aka by her collar, lifting her. Before delivering a kick, he saw her face, surprisingly a girl, so he awkwardly retracted his foot.

"Sorry, I feel a bit dizzy..." Already nauseous, being grabbed like that made Aka want to vomit. Zheng Xu, noting her about to vomit, quickly released his hand. Having a bit of cleanliness obsession, he stepped back, accidentally dropping the paperwork he held.

"Blargh!" Aka spewed acidic water, spraying it onto Xu’s shiny polished shoes—oh, the cleanliness!

"Sorry! I’ll help you pick it up!" Realizing she caused trouble, Aka quickly bent down to help, groggily noticing two big words on the diagnostics.

Hemorrhoids.

Hmm, so he has hemorrhoids. Aka thought while picking up and glancing at Zheng Xu. Her eyes filled with ambiguity, causing veins to bulge on Xu’s forehead.

Why’s this yellow hair looking at him like that? It’s his dad’s diagnosis, not his!

"No need, I’ll do it myself."

"Sorry for the trouble, I have to make it up to you."

Aka stood up while Zheng Xu bent to pick it up. Her head bumped into his chin.

Xu felt shame like never before, feeling his tongue bitten because of the bump... This annoying yellow-haired!

"Ah! Sorry, I—" Aka stood up to check where she bumped him, but suddenly blacked out, falling sideways.

The last impression before fainting was that the man with that lovely cologne scent and "hemorrhoids" caught her, what a nice man...

You can’t judge a man’s goodness by his hemorrhoids; indeed, he is "successful despite obstacles."

Aka thought he was a good person, but Xu was vexed beyond measure.

Damn it, bumping into him, throwing up on him, and then toppling over? And now she rolled her eyes and passed out?

Zheng Xu felt utterly unlucky, holding the unconscious yellow-haired and roaring at doctors, "Is everyone dead? Someone lend a hand!"

The doctors were intimidated by Xu’s soul-stirring roar. What fury!

He shouldn’t have come; what trouble has he invoked? This yellow-haired should be grateful she’s female; otherwise, she’d be beaten! Zheng Xu, holding the unconscious yellow-haired, thought bitterly.
