Shen Yue's face appeared tense after he hung up on the call with Xi Xiaye. He looked at Lan Zilang in front and said quietly, "Ask them who bought the land Ning An Orphanage is sitting on in the old area of the north of the city."

"Got it, CEO!" Lan Zilang immediately made a call.

After the call, Lan Zilang suddenly thought of a matter and asked, "CEO, I heard that Mr. Mu is interested in the South River project, and this project is handled by Ms. Granddaughter. Are you considering it?"

Shen Yue raised his hand to stop him, only replying after a while, "Let her do it herself. She's still young and needs to be trained. If not, she might get crushed if I hand Fuhua over to her. Although Chen is good, I still hope that she can be more independent."

"CEO, I've heard that Ms. Granddaughter took the document from Miss, and Miss signed it too. It seems that Ms. Granddaughter wants to get Yueying..." Lan Zilang hesitated for a moment before reporting.

Shen Yue paused and sighed as comfort passed in his eyes. "I'm happy that they realized it. Wenna never actually walked away from her past trauma. Her mother doted on her too much and just let her do whatever she wanted. If not, things wouldn't have turned out this way. However, it's great now that she's staying by my side."

"What about Yueying then?"

"Let the youngsters do their own thing. We can't break their wings, so let them fly freely and just look after them a little."

Lan Zilang could hear the exhaustion and comfort in his voice. He understood that Shen Yue was probably reflecting on himself from Shen Wenna's incident.

One might lose something more easily by gripping onto it too tightly just like the sand in one's hand...

Mu Yuchen was not back yet when she arrived at Maple Residence. Thinking that he was still busy, Xi Xiaye put her stuff away and went into the kitchen.

She did not know to cook many dishes, so she just made some simple ones and a pot of soup.

She was placing the pot on the dining table when Mu Yuchen came back. "Scoot over a little... It's hot..."

Mu Yuchen dodged her rushing towards him and he also pulled a chair out for her.

"What delicious dishes have you made?" Mu Yuchen grabbed a wet handkerchief and wiped his hands as he looked at the dishes on the table. While the presentation could have been better, the aroma was tantalizing. He sat down on a chair while she scooped the soup into bowls.

"I simply made them. Tell me if they are good but don't say anything if it's not nice. I like to be praised and not criticized. Otherwise, I won't make any meals ever again," she said straightforwardly as she put a bowl of fresh, piping hot soup in front of him.

He laughed quietly and accepted the bowl of soup. "Don't you want to hear my praises?"

"I'm not that shallow."

She got herself a bowl of soup as well before sitting down and handing him a pair of chopsticks. "It's the weekend tomorrow and we've promised to relax. Su Nan has sent the invitation card to the company today. Here it is. What gifts do you think we should get her?"

She put her bowl down and then took out a red invitation card from her bag to hand it to him.

Mu Yuchen grabbed it and studied it. "Can't we just give them a big red packet?"

"What poor taste!" She rolled her eyes at him.

"Then, you tell me what's a gift of good taste? Isn't something solid better?" He replied as he took some food and put it into his mouth elegantly.

Xi Xiaye took a deep breath. "Well, giving a red packet with a prosperous number seems like a good idea as well."

"I'll get Li Si to prepare it. Check if you still need anything prepared. I have no idea what women like, but I can go shopping with you tomorrow." He then continued eating quietly.

She gave him a brief reply before she grabbed her bowl and started eating.

After the dinner and a shower, the couple sat on the sofa together with the television turned on and a pot of tea beside them. He was reading a book while she was watching television beside him.

Suddenly, Shen Yue called her. it must be about the orphanage.

Xi Xiaye saw the caller ID and her eyes brightened. Immediately, she sat up straight before answering the call. Before Shen Yue could say anything, she asked worriedly, "Hello? Grandpa? How is it?"

Xi Xiaye's questions got a heavy sigh in return. After a while, Shen Yue replied, "I've found out about it. Zilang called me and said the Han Corporation bought it. It was Han Yifeng... Have you been in trouble with him lately?"

Han Corporation...

Han Yifeng had bought it!

Xi Xiaye was shocked when she heard that name. Her hand froze up and she started to miss out on what Shen Yue was saying as his voice faded in her ears. She could feel her heart sink and a sense of pain throbbed inside while her eyes darkened.

Why would it be Han Yifeng?

After a while, she came back to her senses when she heard Shen Yue's voice. She replied quietly, "Okay, I got it, Grandpa. It's alright. It's late now and you should go and rest. Goodnight!"

The man beside her with sharp senses could feel something was not right. He took his eyes off the book and glanced at her, his eyebrows furrowing when he noticed she was frowning as well. "What's wrong?"

Xi Xiaye quickly put her hand on her forehead and placed the teacup on the table. She took a deep breath in. "Nothing. It's just about the orphanage... I'll tell you once I find out more about it."

She then quickly made a call. "Hello? Senior Chu? It's me, Xi Xiaye..."

"Can you please help me check at which stage has the paperwork been processed with the orphanage land in the north of the city that's been bought by the Han Corporation? Yes... It's there. I just found out they bought it, but the documents still need the approval from the government. Please help me check who's handling it. I need the people from both sides, yes..."

Mu Yuchen's frown got deeper as he heard her conversation. He could somewhat piece the information together and he asked after she hung up on the call, "Is Han Yifeng messing with you?"

Xi Xiaye put her phone away and mumbled, "The Han Corporation bought the orphanage land. While it's known that the place will be demolished and will be redeveloped into a new housing area or a new supermarket, the Han Corporation isn't involved in these areas, so why would they suddenly buy that place?"
