Ziya furrowed her brow, not daring to provoke the lively duo. She kicked her feet nervously, trying her best to avoid Shuangshuang's playful nips. With quick, small steps, she rushed into the bedroom and hurriedly closed the door behind her. Letting out a soft sigh, she sat on the stool at her desk.
After a moment of quiet sobbing, she faintly heard Wanru's teasing voice from upstairs. An inexplicable pain surged within her as she turned the wheels of her wheelchair with her hands. "Zhen, I want to go back to my room..."
Since Wan Yu had become less mobile, Zhen had been carrying her up and down. Zhen first helped Wan Yu up the stairs and placed her in the wheelchair upstairs before returning to tidy up the one downstairs. Over time, their close contact made Wan Yu and Zhen feel like sisters, even closer than that.
Wan Yu instructed Zhen to go downstairs while she quietly pushed her wheelchair to the dressing table in front of the mirror. She gazed for a long time at the pitiful figure reflected back—an unfortunate person deprived of love by her sister... Tears silently streamed down her cheeks. Indeed, she was Li Darwen, and from Wanru's evasive words, Wan Yu sensed that her brother-in-law returning home might be someone she knew.
Since Wan Yu's brain injury, Li Darwen had never appeared before her. Throughout these years, Wan Yu constantly thought of him. When Wanru mentioned that her brother-in-law was coming back, Wan Yu felt a flicker of emotion but was left unsettled after repeatedly asking for his name; Wanru always deflected without giving a direct answer, and Zhen also seemed reluctant to involve herself in their family matters.
Wan Yu reminisced about her mother... about the last time she saw her mother... Tears gushed forth like a clear spring... As she quietly sobbed, a gentle knock sounded at the door. Wan Yu quickly wiped away her tears and took a deep breath.
"Come in." She assumed it would be Zhen or perhaps Wanru, but to her surprise, it was him.
"Wan Yu..." Li Darwen spoke with a hint of guilt in his tone, his expression awkward as he looked at Wan Yu. She forced a smile as she moved the wheels of her wheelchair, trying hard to appear indifferent in the mirror.
"Brother-in-law, is there something you need?" The words felt like needles piercing through her heart.
Li Darwen hesitated for a moment before saying, "You won't blame me, will you? I..."
"You two are about to get married; I congratulate you on your lifelong happiness. What is there to blame you for?" Wan Yu forced a smile. Heaven knows how bitter she felt inside; she couldn't understand why this man who once vowed to love her forever had changed so quickly. Was there some hidden reason? Or was it pressure from Wanru...?
"Your sister had an urgent matter at work and left; I came here to explain what happened before. You know I... love you... Wan Yu." As he spoke, Li Darwen reached out to take hold of Wan Yu's hand resting on the armrest of the wheelchair. In a panic, she quickly withdrew her hand.
"Don't say that, you are my brother-in-law... Our story should end here."
"Don't... Wan Yu, give me time, I... please don't do this... I still love you!" Li Darwen shamelessly took a step forward, half-kneeling in front of Wan Yu to confess.
"What do you want to say? Can't I congratulate you? Haven't you hurt me enough?" Wan Yu suddenly stood up from the wheelchair, moving away from it to the window, her voice filled with sorrow and disappointment as she looked at Li Darwen.
"You... Why are you still in a wheelchair?" Li Darwen stared in shock at Wan Yu, who was now fully capable of moving without it.
"Yes, I recovered six months ago. You can tell my sister Wanru. Don't forget that I still hold twenty percent of the shares in the company. If I decide to withdraw my shares... you know what the consequences will be."
"Wan Yu, we don't need anything else. Just come with me! We can go to a place where no one knows us. Life may be tough, but as long as we're together, it's fine." Li Darwen's sincere expression stirred something in Wan Yu's heart.
"Do you really care so little for the wealth and glory here? Then why did you abandon me for Wanru back then?" Wan Yu was somewhat skeptical of Li Darwen's words and felt confused upon reflection.

At this moment, Ziya was completely immersed in the story of Sister Lin and didn't notice the sound that seemed like a doorbell coming from somewhere. Ziya tilted her head to listen; indeed, it was coming from downstairs. She hurriedly saved her draft and got up to go downstairs, which naturally triggered an attack from Shuangshuang.
Ziya peeked through the peephole and saw a man in a uniform, so she unlatched the door...
"Hello, I'm from the Courier Company. Could you please sign for this package?" the courier staff said politely.
"This... whose delivery is this?" Ziya felt a bit troubled; how could she sign for something that wasn't hers?
"Um! Let me see, it's addressed to a Ms. Fang Ziya," the Courier Staff said after looking at it.
"No way! How could there be a package for me?" Ziya replied, puzzled.
