This was going to be the most meaningful session in the history of the Independent States.

Soon, the news would spread through all twelve Independent States.

After leaving the Arbitration Council building, Yin Yuerong lifted her head and gazed at the blue sky above her.

In her life, she spent the first half pursuing Si Huaizhang and the latter half pursuing power. She had never obtained happiness in her life and never lived for herself. Now, she was tired.

Although she did something that went against her principles and desires, she had never been this relaxed and tranquil.

It turned out that compromising didn't mean failure sometimes. It led to a whole new world instead.

As soon as the news was released, Ye Wanwan immediately texted Nameless Nie and informed him of this good news.

As she walked out, she mused to herself: "This result is seriously too shocking! I guessed that your mom definitely wouldn't agree, but I didn't expect her to actually abstain! I was prepared for a long battle!"

"I also didn't expect this," Si Yehan said.

Recently, Yin Yuerong had done too many things that differed from his understanding of her.

The two of them had just stepped out of the building when they caught sight of Yin Yuerong waiting for her car in front of the entrance.

Silence dawned on the three of them. None of them knew what to say.

At this moment, a black car pulled up, and Yin Yuerong's driver arrived, finally breaking this awkward silence.

Yin Yuerong looked away and made her way to her car.

Before entering her car, Yin Yuerong suddenly paused and turned around to look at them.

Her gaze landed on Si Yehan as she said, "Ah-Jiu, in truth, Mommy looked forward to your birth the whole time. You were born carrying all of Mommy's hopes…"

Si Yehan's pupils contracted.

Yin Yuerong had never said any of this to him.

"It's just… I've been too cowardly all these years. I was trapped by my failed relations.h.i.+p and life and wanted to imprison you in this lightless prison with me… I wanted you to stay in the darkness with me…"

Yin Yuerong peered up and stared at her son, a sad smile spreading on her face. "Ah-Jiu, in truth, Mommy was just… too lonely…"

"I'm sorry, Ah-Jiu…"

As Si Yehan listened to Yin Yuerong, his hands clenched into tight fists.

Ye Wanwan reached out and gently grasped his lightly trembling hand.

In reality… Si Yehan might not vocalize it, but his mother had always been the scar on his heart.

Si Yehan never understood how a mother could treat her biological child that cruelly. At first, he still held hopes and wanted to know why, but he was disappointed again and again.

Eventually, he finally stopped asking and stopped holding any hopes.

However, in the depths of his heart, what he desired the most was this explanation from Yin Yuerong. And the balm for the scar in his heart was simply the two words "I'm sorry."

Yin Yuerong glanced at the girl next to Si Yehan. "Ah-Jiu, you have better taste than Mommy."

After saying that, Yin Yuerong got into her car and the car started driving, disappearing from sight.

Ye Wanwan held Si Yehan's hand and softly said, "I was wondering earlier why Tangtang was able to change Yin Yuerong so much, but now, I suddenly understand… It's probably because of love…"

Yin Yuerong's icy demeanor was changed because of love and was melted and transformed again by love.
