Holding the pregnancy report, Ye Wei's face was filled with joy. She couldn't wait to share this delightful news with Li Xingyan.

Throughout the three years of their marriage with Li Xingyan, they didn't have a child since the doctor said she was hard to conceive.

Upon hearing this, she was deeply distraught. She hadn't expected that life would hold still some mercy for her.

The sound of a car horn came from outside. She knew Li Xingyan had returned.

She picked up the pregnancy report and ran out, just like a child who had just been given candy.

"Xingyan, I have something to tell you." Ye Wei, holding the pregnancy report behind her back, said with a shy but joyful smile on her face.

"Ye Wei, let's get a divorce."

"What?"

The word 'divorce' hit her like a bucket of cold water, dousing all her joy. Ye Wei froze, staring blankly at Li Xingyan.

"You Ran is back."

Ye Wei finally reacted a bit. How could she forget about it?

The one Li Xingyan had always loved was Mo You Ran. And she was merely a sacrificial pawn he had used to resist the pressure from his family.

These three years of being together day and night somehow made her lose herself.

And she had irretrievably fallen in love with someone she shouldn't have.

Ye Wei scoffed, crumpling up the pregnancy test report and clutching it in her hand.

"Here is the property ownership proof for this villa. I've already transferred it to your name. There's also ten million in this card. Let me know if you need anything else." Li Xingyan handed her the property ownership proof and bank card.

It seemed he had prepared this well in advance.

Seeing the items in his hand, Ye Wei felt particularly uncomfortable.

Her heartfelt devotion over three years, it really was wasted.

"No need, the thing I wanted to tell you is this, my biological parents have come to take me away, to live with them in Haimarket city. You also know that my adoptive parents aren't good to me. They wouldn't have arranged this marriage union with you for the company otherwise. I've always yearned for family, so even if you do not suggest divorce, I will. When it comes to choosing between my biological parents and husband, I feel my biological parents are more reliable."

Why is it that he gets to call the shots on both the marriage and the divorce?

Now, she's the one who's rejecting him, it's her who doesn't want him anymore.

Ye Wei spoke calmly and walked away gracefully.

Even if her love was humble, she's still a person who values her own dignity.

Li Xingyan watched her graceful figure leaving. Though it was exactly what he hoped for, his chest felt like a clump of cotton was stuffed in it, causing him to feel restless and irritable.

He wanted to pull her back, but his prideful self ended up storming back into the room in fury.

Isn't this exactly what he wanted? His heart belonged to Youran, her departure was convenient for him, saving him a lot of trouble.

Five years later

Imperial International Hotel

The 30th anniversary of the Ye family's Glorious Group, was also a showcase of the Love of the Star Ocean design that had been in the making for five years.

Nearly half of Beijing's notable figures had arrived.

Most of them had come to see the finished product of Love of the Star Ocean, after all, its hype on the internet is through the roof.

"Xingyan, I thought you never attended these boring parties? Why are you here today? It can't be...because Ye Wei is here, right?" His good friend Gu Si'Nian joked.

Upon the mention of Ye Wei, Li Xingyan's face darkened, "That woman is hardly worth my time."

Gu Si'Nian raised an eyebrow, seeming to see through everything.

In these five years since Ye Wei left, she might as well have vanished.

Rumour had it that she went to find her biological parents.

It was also heard that her birth parents were living in poor conditions, farming in the countryside. There were also two elder brothers in her family who were unmarried, and her father was one among three brothers, all living together.

A household of the parents and three uncles, coupled with all their sons and daughters, made it a family of more than a dozen people. Their original conditions were poor to begin with, and with so many mouths to feed, life was undoubtedly hard.

During these five years, Li Xingyan had been to places where the odds of Ye Wei appearing were high.

Yet, not once did Ye Wei show up.

Gu Si'Nian was still somewhat confused. Li Xingyan had started a relationship with Mo Youran and even had a son

Yet, for five whole years, Li Xingyan had not given Mo Youran an official title.

But he keeps showing up where Ye Wei might appear.

The exhibition of Yaohui Group today is just an example.

Given Yaohui's status, it is not worthy of Li Xingyan to come in person to support the event.

However, Ye Yaohui, the person in charge of the Yaohui Group, is the adoptive father of Ye Wei.

Ye Wei was wrongly adopted and lived in the Ye family for over twenty years. On the day Ye Wei married Li Xingyan, Ye Qian, the biological daughter of Ye Yaohui, was found and brought back.

Naturally, the Ye family wanted their biological daughter to marry into the Li family.

There was even a disturbance at the wedding over this matter.

Ye Wei stood there, stunned into silence and at a loss.

In the end, Li Xingyan spoke up, stating that he was already married to Ye Wei, and she is the only one he recognized.

After their marriage, the couple was harmonious, respectful, and devoted to each other.

No matter where he went, Li Xingyan always took Ye Wei with him.

At the time, everyone assumed that Li Xingyan had already forgotten about Mo Youran.

But then five years ago, when Mo Youran returned, Ye Wei left.

"Hello everyone, I am Ye Yaohui."

The voice that came from the podium made Li Xingyan and Gu Siyan look over at the same time.

"I am very grateful and welcome everyone who came to Yaohui's Star Sea of Love Exhibition today. I know that everyone is here to get a glimpse of the real Star Sea of Love. Today we will fully display the Star Sea of Love."

Ye Yaohui wore a smile as bright as the sun, cradling the microphone with passion.

No sooner had he finished speaking than two staff members pushed a glass case sealed with a red cloth onto the stage.

Shrouding it in such mystery only served to rouse the curiosity.

"Today is not only the presentation for Ye Yaohui's Star-sea Love, but also its auction. As decided by the board of directors of Yaohui Group, we will auction this masterpiece to those who truly appreciate and deserve it."

Amidst his words, an uproar spread across the floor.

"Everyone knows that Star-sea Love was conceived by my daughter, Ye Qian. We will unveil the true face of the Star-sea Love today, with her doing the honors."

Dressed in a sleek black fishtail gown, Ye Qian gracefully ascended the stage.

Watching this spectacle, Gu Si Nian couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, saying: "Xing Yan, your future father-in-law sure knows how to play the game. He's hyped up the Star-sea Love, showcased it in such a grand setting, and even plans on auctioning it off. If Star-sea Love really turns out to be as remarkable as the rumours say, this will not only give the Yaohui group a boost but also bring fame to Ye Qian. They will have made quite the name in the design business."

Ye Qian approached the glass case under the red cloth, her face cloaked with a confident smile. She pulled the cloth away in a swift move.

A twinkling diamond necklace was revealed to the onlookers.

Once again, the room was swept up in a wave of surprise.

The silver necklace embedded with blue diamonds, the stunning diamonds merged with the natural platinum, appeared like lovers drenched in mutual affection.

The shocked expressions of the crowd brought deep satisfaction to Ye Qian, the smile on her face deepening at the sight.

Ye Yaohui called out, "Qian Qian, why don't you share with us the inspiration behind Star-sea Love?"

An objection arose, "To claim the fruits of someone else's labor as your own, what gives you the audacity to herald this fact before this grand gathering?"
