"Oh... yes," Renee chuckled softly. "We couldn't afford a computer before. This one was actually a gift from Lina."
"Why haven't I seen it before?"
Renee linked her arm with Kaitlyn's. "Mom, you were sick before, so you probably didn't pay attention to these things. Plus, I've always kept this computer in my office and rarely brought it home. It's because now that I've resigned..."
"I see." Kaitlyn fell silent for a moment, then looked at her with a smile. "Could I use it for a while?"
Renee was a bit puzzled.
"Renee, actually... I want to learn some new things. I've been sick for so long, always depending on you. I feel really guilty. But now that my health is gradually improving, I have the energy to learn these things. Can you teach me how to use your computer to go online in case I get bored at home?"
"Of course!"
This request from Kaitlyn was quite reasonable. Besides, Renee could not refuse any of Kaitlyn's requests.
"Renee, I can also start some small online business once I pick this up." Kaitlyn patted her head. "This way, I can lighten your burden a bit."
Renee felt a pinch in her nose, and she smiled at her mother. In truth, her mother had not changed. Her heart which always cared for her daughter was still the same as before.
Renee sat down at the desk, turned on the computer, and entered the password in front of her mother, explaining how to use it.
However, as Kaitlyn stood behind her, she narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold light flickering in them.

The Thompson Group's project soon entered its bidding phase.
During this period, Lina was extremely busy. This was the first project she was in charge of, and she was personally involved in every detail, from project initiation and design development to fundraising and preliminary work. Any oversight in any of these steps could affect the entire project's progress.
She often worked overtime, leaving Zuko increasingly frustrated. While others enjoyed their honeymoon period after marriage, he found himself spending his days assisting Lina with organizing data and writing reports. He had essentially become her all-around assistant.
On this particular day, they were in the office together, but the food Zuko had brought for Lina remained mostly untouched. She was deeply engrossed in studying the background of each bidding company, barely taking two bites.
Feeling resentful and frustrated, Zuko suddenly stood up and walked behind her. He placed his hands on her shoulders and gently massaged them.
Lina smiled, her dimples showing sweet romance. "Honey, you've become quite skilled at this lately!"
