Yanbei left no room for negotiation, “I can only provide what you want on my personal behalf, but I’m sorry, I can’t use the president’s authority for personal gains. This is a matter of principle.”

“What a selfless and noble president you are.” A sentence suddenly broke out in the resting room.

The tone was melodious, the remark sarcastic, but it wasn’t Ye Xingguang who said it. It was the president’s wife, Ye Tingnan.

Ye Tingnan had been in the resting room all the time, just hiding in the bathroom of the resting room, so nobody noticed her.

Hearing their conversation, Ye Tingnan came out of the bathroom. Her v-neck evening dress wrapped up to her feet, making her look especially charming.

“Ting Nan.” Yanbei stood up unexpectedly.

Ye Tingnan didn’t look at Yanbei, she just walked towards Ye Xingguang.

“Miss Ye, expecting a president who, for the sake of national interest, wouldn’t compromise even when his wife was threatened and eventually lost his child, to give you special privileges, is like expecting me. As long as I can save my child, even if it costs my life, I wouldn’t hesitate at all. If there’s truly a remedy for regret in this world, please sell it to me.”

Ye Xingguang:

She didn’t want to get involved in the couple’s affairs.

Ye Tingnan went on, “The biggest regret of my life is marrying him. He’s a competent president, but an incompetent husband. I should’ve been like the citizens, watch him from afar, not allowing myself to gaze upon him closely. Perhaps that way, his image would remain perfect in my heart.”

The more apologetic Yanbei felt inwardly, the more assertive he was outwardly. He pulled Ye Tingnan into his arms directly, “Ting Nan, don’t say that.”

“Let me go.” Three years have passed, but Ye Tingnan still couldn’t get over losing their child.

Yanbei felt helpless but refused to let go.

Their relationship was already stiff to the extreme. Outside of important occasions requiring the first lady, Ting Nan no longer paid him any mind. But she was the woman he deeply loved, “Listen to me…”

“What is there to say? To boast about how impartial you are, by sacrificing your own family for the sake of national interest? Yanbei, I’m not unreasonable, nor do I think there’s a problem with your selflessness. All I want… is my child! Why can’t you give Miss Ye special privileges, who does it harm? Xia Yanyan? So what if she’s a national treasure? Isn’t my child a life too? Is our child worthless?” By the end of her speech, her voice choked out.

Yanbei, with a broken heart, pulled her closer, “You know that even as president, it’s impossible for me to grant her that privilege.”

“Right, you can’t. But even if you could, you wouldn’t. Yanbei, that’s just who you are, putting national interest above all else. You’re clearly not a good husband, why can’t I just hate you?”

Ye Tingnan violently broke free from Yanbei’s grasp. She despised herself for being this way, wanting to hate him but not being able to.

Because even she understood, he had done nothing wrong. He was just a good president, how can she blame him?

All she wanted now was divorce, to distance herself from him, and no longer hurt each other.

As Ye Xingguang sat aside, maintaining peace of mind, she didn’t want their relationship to deteriorate any further, so she spoke up, “Well, considering Grandfather Zhuo’s feelings, how about we change the terms? You don’t need to grant privileges, just consider me like a sister. No matter what dilemma I encounter in the future, you must protect me like you would a sister. Is that alright?”
