Butler Li was arranging the lilies in the ward when he heard her say this. He paused and his lips twitched as he could not help but turn around.

He remained silent. On the other hand, Ding Mengya did not expect him to hear her ramble, but she continued saying, Sigh, Im really too good at this. I just find acting a little tiring. You may not know this, but I have to keep clearing my mind of thoughts and put on a dazed expression. Just from this expression alone, I think I can make a debut in the entertainment scene. Although I might be late to the game, many people still become famous when they are older, right? Oh yes, you must let Zhengting know of my hard work. Tell him how many sacrifices his mother has made for him. Ive really devoted all my energy into duping Mi Nuo. I

Butler Li could not stand her rambling anymore, so he interrupted her, Madam, Sir said that something like memory loss might be too fake. Pretending to be a vegetable is the best, but you insisted on doing something challenging

Pretending to be a vegetable indeed did not require any skills. However, if she really pretended to be a vegetable, she would have to lie in the bed all day lest she was seen or photographed by someone. Wouldnt that bore her to death?

Ding Mengya pursed her lips and continued, Okay, okay. We clearly have a closer relationship, but why do you always speak for your Sir?

Butler Li:

Butler Li smiled at her lovingly before shaking his head. Turning around, he continued trimming the flowers.

Ding Mengya watched him. The sunlight shone in through the window and enveloped him, causing his profile to give off a gentle sheen.

Time seemed to have stopped for Butler Li. Even after all these years, he still looked the same as before. His face was free of any imperfections. Other than the fact that his skin was indeed sagging a little, nothing much had changed.

She had been divorced for more than 20 years.

He had been single for his entire life.

She suddenly recalled their younger days. He had made a promise to her. When he found out that she was getting married, he swallowed everything he had wanted to say and only said, Miss, I will be with you no matter where you go. I will always care for you.

With that, he cared for her quietly for 30 years.

As Ding Mengya thought of this, melancholy flashed across her eyes.

She took in a deep breath. Butler Li turned around and looked at her. Madam, whats wrong?

Ding Mengya shook her head and smiled. Nothing. I just thought about how long it has been since you called me Miss.

Taken aback, Butler Li smiled.

He also started reminiscing about the past. He had followed Ding Mengya to Beijing. When Ding Mengya married into the Si family, he had stubbornly stuck with his old habits and addressed her as Miss. Until one day, her ex-husband, Si Zhengtings dad, could not take it anymore and criticized him. Since she married into the Si family, you should follow the Si familys appellation. There is no one of a higher seniority than I do, so you should address Mengya as Madam.

Of course, he was stunned.

He had always wanted to be the only one caring for Ding Mengya by her side. However, he had realized that, sometimes, his care was unnecessary only in that moment.

Since then, he had addressed her as Madam. After that, he started working in the Imperial Group and became distant from the Si family. Until the many things that unfolded later on

The two of them seemed to have thought of the past. This time, Ding Mengya had been on the brink of death. Butler Li suddenly realized how terrified he was. Hence, after Ding Mengya had woken up, he dropped the formalities with her. He suddenly wondered about how many years one can live.
