My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

Not just Ye Qilan, even Xiao Ji would not want a hen that cannot lay eggs!

Zhou Luhe, chuckling coldly, decided she must visit Shallow Bay no matter what.

Cao Shiyu was woken up by Zhou Luhe’s call and was thrilled upon hearing that Su Hongxing had barely avoided a miscarriage. She and Zhou Luhe agreed to visit Shallow Bay that morning.

It was still bright outside, yet she felt no sleepiness.

She had thought she was at a dead end, but Zhou Luhe’s call gave her hope.

As long as Su Hongxing’s unborn child was lost, she would have a chance to seize control again. This was a gift from the heavens.

Due to her excitement, Cao Shiyu couldn’t sleep. She got up from her bed.

She went to the living room for a sip of water, and noticed a faint light coming from the study.

At this time, was there someone in the study?

She hurried forward, pushed the study door open…

Cao Zhen never expected to be disturbed at this time. He quickly cleaned up the documents on the table, but Cao Shiyu had already walked in. “Dad, why aren’t you asleep at this hour?”

She glanced at the file Cao Zhen was hiding. She wondered what it could be, that her father was so engaged in.

Especially, the expression on her father’s face — a mix of joy and worry. She had never seen such a complex expression on his face before.

A man like her father, with achievements in the political world, had long learned to face honor and disgrace without being alarmed.

And it was at this time of day, four-thirty in the morning.

She was certain, her father was definitely not working late for public affairs.

“There are some things I can’t figure out. You go to sleep first. I will rest once I finish my work,” Cao Zhen replied bluntly.

Although Cao Shiyu had doubts, she decided not to stay any longer.

After Cao Shiyu left, Cao Zhen took out the document he had been hiding. Under the dim light, one could vaguely see the photo of Su Hongxing. The face of Su Hongxing in the photo was calm, without a hint of a smile. However, from her facial features, one could still see the shadow of another woman…

Early in the morning, as Cao Shiyu was about to leave, Cao Zhen’s car slowly pulled up beside her. “Shiyu, where are you going?”

Cao Shiyu dared not lie and replied truthfully, “I have something to discuss with Brother Si.”

Assuming that Cao Zhen would stop her, surprisingly, Cao Zhen said, “Well, let me give you a ride.”

Cao Zhen’s statement shocked both his driver and secretary, and Cao Shiyu found it strange.

“You have a meeting to chair this morning…”

“No problem, it can be postponed.” Cao Zhen signaled for Cao Shiyu to get in the car.

Although Cao Shiyu found it strange, she still got in the car.

To her memory, this was the first time her father had postponed a work meeting for personal reasons. It turned out that in her father’s heart, his daughter took precedence over his political career.

With that thought, her mood improved.

She held on to Cao Zhen’s arm, and said with a beaming smile, “Dad is the best!”

Cao Zhen gently patted Cao Shiyu’s hand, his eyes flickering with a keen light.

Before long, they reached the Shallow Bay Villa. Cao Shiyu thought Cao Zhen would leave, but he also got out of the car, “This is my first time visiting Qilan’s villa. Nice.”

Seeing this, Cao Shiyu didn’t know what to say.

When Ye Qilan saw Cao Zhen, he was quite surprised, “Uncle, how do you find the time to visit?”

Everyone knew that Cao Zhen held a high position and his time was valuable.
