Truly Don't Know What You're After?

"Do you have the exclusive access card for the Tomson Supreme residential complex?"

Ye Chen waved the exclusive Tomson Supreme access card in front of Gao Zuo.

Ding!

The elevator stopped at the basement level and opened once more.

Ignoring Gao Zuo, Ye Chen strode out of the elevator with his long legs and headed toward his Mercedes-Benz.

The access card flashed before Gao Zuo's eyes, stinging them.

Then, he watched as Ye Chen climbed into a brand-new, imposing Mercedes-Benz GLS.

Gao Zuo's expression twisted into a grimace, his heart consumed by intense jealousy.

Gao Zuo had begged his father to buy him this Mercedes-Benz GLS for the longest time, but his father had never been willing to shell out the money.

He never expected that Ye Chen would already be driving one.

Ye Chen must have shamelessly latched onto some wealthy old woman.

Damn it!

(〃＞皿＜)

Why hadn't any wealthy woman taken a fancy to him?

On the road, Ye Chen stopped to buy some fruit.

He had heard that fresh flowers could improve one's mood.

If her mood improved, her wounds should heal better.

Love rises and sets with the sun; romance is eternal.

Ye Chen intended to make up for the regret of never having properly courted Su Ningwei before.

The first step, of course, was to start with flowers and a love letter.

Ye Chen parked his car outside a flower shop.

Once inside, he picked out a bouquet of cup-shaped, dual-toned roses.

The edges were red, while the center petals were a pale yellow.

Though not overly flamboyant, the tips of the snow-white petals were tinged with a faint pink, giving off a fresh and soothing vibe—much like the feeling Su Ningwei gave him.

Ye Chen liked them very much and felt that Su Ningwei would like them too.

"Sir, you have excellent taste. These are our newly arrived premium Red Sleeve Roses, symbolizing eternal love. Most women can't say no to them," the clerk said with a smile as she wrapped the bouquet for him.

Ye Chen nodded. "I'll take that vase as well, and please give me a card."

"Certainly." The clerk immediately produced an exquisite card and a pen, handing them to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen pondered for a moment before writing on the card:

I have no regrets about not meeting you in our prime.

Because after meeting you, our best days have only just begun!

The most extravagant thing I have ever done in my life is to meet you.

To grow old together, sharing the scent of flowers.

In this lifetime, I speak only of warmth and never of sorrow; having met you with all my heart, I shall accompany you in peace and warmth.

Satisfied, Ye Chen handed the written card to the clerk.

The clerk looked on with envy as she tucked the card into the wrapped bouquet.

Ye Chen paid, took the flowers and the vase, and drove to the hospital.

The ward door was left slightly ajar.

Ye Chen heard voices chatting inside.

"Weiwei, are you really planning to marry that poor kid, Ye Chen? Aside from being handsome, what does he have? No company is willing to sign him, he has no connections, and he has no capital. There are plenty of handsome men in our circle; what's so good about him?"

The speaker sounded familiar—it was Li Jiaojiao from the Rose Girl Group.

Hearing his name mentioned, Ye Chen paused, his heart feeling a bit bitter. He was also very curious to know what Su Ningwei thought of him.

In truth, given Ye Chen's appearance and vocal talent, two companies had previously approached him, but the terms for newcomers without backing were too harsh, so he had chosen to decline, hoping to find a more reliable agency.

Li Jiaojiao continued, "I heard he still has a disabled father at home. With your qualifications, let alone bringing three kids, even if you had ten, there would be a long line of men waiting to marry you. Don't sell yourself short..."

"Stop it. Ye Chen is the children's biological father, and he is genuinely good to me and the kids. He also has a lot of potential. I have the money and the resources; I believe that with his talent, he will become a huge star sooner or later," Su Ningwei interrupted, responding to Li Jiaojiao.

Outside the ward, Ye Chen was deeply moved by Su Ningwei's words. His love for her grew even stronger; to be able to marry a good wife like Su Ningwei was enough for a lifetime.

He didn't care what others said or thought of him, but he cared deeply about Su Ningwei's opinion, as she was the person he intended to spend his life with.

Li Jiaojiao retorted, "He disappeared without a trace after sleeping with you. Just because he showed up yesterday to take care of you for a day and a night, you think he's good to you? Maybe he's only being nice to you because he's after your fame and money."

"Don't talk nonsense; that wasn't his fault. When you talk about him, you're talking about me. Don't say things like that again; it won't be good if Ye Chen hears you later," Su Ningwei replied, sounding a bit angry.

Li Jiaojiao pouted and said unhappily, "Got it. I think you're just a love-struck fool. You actually quit the girl group at the peak of your popularity for a stinky man, abandoned us sisters, paid a huge penalty, and even had a child out of wedlock. I really don't know what you're after. Is it worth it?"

Hearing Li Jiaojiao say this, Su Ningwei felt a pang of self-reproach in her heart.

Choosing to suddenly quit the girl group back then was indeed rather selfish, and it wasn't fair to the other four members.

However, looking at her three healthy babies, Su Ningwei felt that her choice back then had not been wrong.

Fearing that Li Jiaojiao would continue saying things that might hurt Su Ningwei's feelings, Zhao Shiyu hurriedly spoke up, "Jiaojiao, you don't know the whole story, so say less. Look at how cute these three babies are; everything is worth it. It's not like Sister Weiwei's family is short on money, so what do a little fame and fortune matter?"

"Exactly. How did Sister Weiwei abandon us? She just stepped back temporarily. Jiaojiao, you have to have a conscience. Back then, the company only picked Sister Weiwei. If it weren't for her strongly recommending us and bringing us along, we wouldn't have become this popular," Xu Manman said.

Although Xu Manman also looked down on Ye Chen, she would never allow anyone to speak ill of Su Ningwei.

Lin Yinyin also chimed in, "As long as Weiwei feels happy and thinks it's worth it, that's all that matters. Besides, I think that Ye Chen looks alright, and I trust Weiwei's judgment."

Seeing everyone say this, Li Jiaojiao felt a bit embarrassed.

"Sigh, let's not talk about this anymore. Isn't it great as it is now? The three babies are so cute. I'm definitely going to be their godmother. These are the longevity locks and big red envelopes I bought for the babies."

Zhao Shiyu took three large red envelopes and exquisite brocade boxes out of her bag and handed them to Su Ningwei.

Inside the brocade boxes were three gold necklace pendants, which were delicate longevity locks.

"When it comes to being a godmother, of course, you can't leave me out. These are for the three babies from me," Xu Manman also took out three large red envelopes and a brocade box, handed them to Su Ningwei, and said with a smile.

Inside the brocade box were three pairs of pure gold bracelets.

"And me." Lin Yinyin also took out three large red envelopes and a brocade box, handing them to Su Ningwei.

Inside the brocade box were three small gold bricks.

"These are mine. Sigh, I only said those things because I felt it wasn't worth it for Sister Weiwei. Of course, the five of us are still good sisters; how could I be left out of being a godmother?" Li Jiaojiao said, her expression slightly stiff as she took three large red envelopes and a brocade box from her bag.
