Yesterday, he had only been concerned about Ye Ci's results. He had certainly been in no mood to think about anything else.

It was only now that he had noticed that Ning Li had not come back with her mother.

There was a moment of silence at the dining table.

Ye Cheng pursed his lips.

"Father, why do you keep mentioning her?"

"Isn't it good that she's not here?"

Ye Ming glared at Ye Cheng. That caused Ye Cheng to shrink back, without daring to say anything more.

Su Yuan paused.

"She stayed in the Capital for the New Year."

She said stiffly, in a timid voice.

This was the first Chinese New Year since they had brought Ning Li back from Lincheng to live with the Ye family. In the end, Ning Li had chosen to stay alone in the Capital rather than come back.

If word got out, it would not be pleasant.

Ye Ming frowned slightly.

This matter clearly made him a little unhappy, but he could not lose his temper.

"She's all alone over there, and she's unfamiliar with the place. How is she doing over there?"

"I think she has a friend over there as well."

Su Yuan did not really know much about the situation. Adding to that, she did not want to talk more about Ning Li in front of Ye Ming, so she kept her answer fairly vague.

"Besides, this is not the first time she's done this. Surely, nothing will happen."

Only then did Ye Ming remember that Ning Li had indeed made a trip to the Capital before.

He nodded.

"That's good. But it's the New Year, so it's not appropriate to stay outside so much. Call her again later."

"Okay."

Upon hearing that he did not seem to have any intention of pursuing the matter further and that he had not vented his anger on her, Su Yuan felt relieved.

She picked up some food for Ye Ci.

"Lil Ci, did you have a good rest last night?"

Ye Ci seemed to be lost in thought as if thinking intently about something.

Su Yuan called out to her twice before she came back to her senses.

"Huh? Oh, it was pretty good. Thank you, Mom."

Ye Ci forced a smile.

Su Yuan saw that there was a faint greenish tinge beneath her eyes and her eyes seemed to be a little bloodshot. She knew that she must not have slept well.

The final grade had indeed been... It was not unusual for her to feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, the father and daughter had talked for a long time in the study yesterday. She still did not know what Ye Ming had told his daughter.

"Lil Ci, if you are not feeling well, you should rest well at home for the next few days."

During the Chinese New Year, the Ye family was usually extremely busy.

People came and went, and Ye Ci could not avoid being asked about her grades.

Ye Ci nodded silently.

Ye Ming glanced at her without saying anything.
