CHAPTER 101

Since he said it like that, even if Ye Xiaoan was resentful in his heart, he still received some comfort. If one were to say that he had been a rich and powerful person in the daughter-in-law for three years, the only thing he had learned was to know what to do. Since he had already given his enough face, then Ye Xiaoan should not advance so much.

I know, don't worry. Ye Xiaoan pushed him away and turned towards the living room. Of course she knew what he should say. After all, he had been pretending for the past three years. Not only was he experienced, he was also very experienced.

After taking the medicine, Gu Shaohua had obviously recovered a lot, and leaned on the sofa at the side while Luo Hongyu helped him calm down. When the old man saw the two of them coming over, he sighed and closed his eyes. He was someone who had committed a mistake in the past, so he naturally knew the thoughts of a man. However, it was precisely because he had done it before that he couldn't let his son go his own way.

If this matter was not resolved, it would still be a problem. It would not disappear with the passage of time. It was more like a thorn stabbing into the heart. The longer the wound went on, the deeper it went, and perhaps the pus would spread. Rather than this, he might as well clear things up and put it on the surface. It was better than being confused and maintaining it, but it was just adding to his worries.

Xiao An, come over and sit. Hearing Gu Shaohua's words, Ye Xiaoan walked over and sat beside him.

The old man thought for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and saying, Xiao An, I know that A Zhen has been spread some rumors outside. Your mother and I are both experienced people, so we naturally understand how much damage these things do to the marriage. Furthermore, you are still young, so you don't have much ability to deal with the public opinion of others. If you can't accept it, we won't reject any decision you make. But, if you do not give up, I, Gu Shaohua, vouch for my dignity, that you will forever be our Gu family's Young Madam.

Now that things had gotten to this point, no matter how silly Ye Xiaoan was, he understood the old man's meaning. Ye Xiaoan asked himself, the two elders truly treated his as their own. She had once thought about how great it would be if they were really his own parents. Now that such a thing had happened, they didn't favor their son. Instead, they were the ones who helped their friends but only for their own sake.

Gu Shaohua leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed. His normally energetic face was now filled with age and fatigue. Maybe because Gu Shaohua was usually too spirited, he suddenly made Ye Xiaoan feel that he had aged a lot, and also made his heart ache. She was truly willing to treat him as his own father.

Gu Yizhen looked at his father with a bitter feeling in his heart. Her father had worked hard his entire life for this family, for the Gu's group. Now that he was old and was supposed to live through the years, he actually had to worry about his instead. But his father had also told him since he was a child that men had to have a sense of responsibility. The mistakes that he had made in the past should be made up for by himself. When this matter came to an end, he would definitely give them a peaceful old age.

Dad, Mom, in the recent days, Xiao Yanting and I have indeed been relatively close, and the relationship between us is not purely that type of relationship. However, this matter had nothing to do with love. The reason why it had come to this stage was because there was a reason behind it. Please wait for me, I will take care of this matter.

Lady Gu Luo Hongyu looked at her son snappily, then turned and looked at Ye Xiaoan.

I'll wait for you to deal with it. If you do, who knows when I'll be able to! Who are you supposed to talk to? It's not like your father and I are the ones who are living with you, it's just that Xiao An has to listen. "

Gu Yizhen also followed his mother's gaze and looked at Ye Xiaoan who was seated next to his father. She was still lost in thought, but upon hearing them mention his, he quickly regained his senses.

Mom, actually, during the three years we've been together, news about him has kept coming up. I've already gotten used to it. It's just that I can't accept that the target this time is my sister. However, since he has already said that it's not like that, I don't think there's a need for him to lie to me.

Ye Xiaoan did not say everything. Actually, what she wanted to say was that there was nothing special about his in the first place. Gu Yizhen did not need to lie to himself, all the women around him were even better qualified than he was, he was just a nominal woman anyway, and from the looks of it, it seemed that whoever was his wife, would be better than him.

Luo Hongyu also wanted to find a way out for his son, and it just so happened that Xiao An was giving him face, so this matter had finally come to a conclusion. In fact, Luo Hongyu had already mentally prepared herself long ago. Perhaps after today, she would no longer be her daughter-in-law. However, she never expected Ye Xiaoan to be so sensible and generous. After all, she was still young, and would inevitably do some impulsive things, which she could understand. But to have such an outcome today, Luo Hongyu was also very pleased.

Aiyo, if that's the case, then that's great. I knew that Xiao An was a sensible child, there were plenty of troubles in our kind of family, so it wasn't easy for me to live a peaceful life. Mom naturally hopes for the two of you to be fine. If that's the case, then your dad and I can cut down on snacks and live for two more years."

When Luo Hongyu thought about how she had painstakingly maintained this home for so many years, her eyes turned red and she almost started crying. The old man quickly went over and whispered to Luo Hongyu.

Look at you, why are you crying in front of your child? Didn't you say that you want to cook something good for Xiao An today? It's been a long time since I've eaten your food, so I'll have to trouble you to cook dinner for our family tonight.

As the two elders were still worried, they kept urging Gu Yizhen to stay. The old man even said directly that he wouldn't have to go to work today, just staying at home to accompany the two of them for one day.

Luo Hongyu and Ye Xiaoan were watering the flowers and Gu Yizhen was also playing chess with the old man in the living room. Luo Hongyu filled the water bottle up and passed it to Ye Xiaoan. She felt her heart warm as she looked at the two people living in harmony in the living room. This was the kind of life she had always longed for.

"Xiao An, I know you've suffered a lot recently. If you don't want to see him, then come back and live with me in this period of time. Young people always love to be impulsive. Maybe if the two of you are separated, you can calm down for a while. There's nothing wrong with that.

Ye Xiaoan had originally planned to go back and concentrate on accompanying Xiao Wu to school if he could get a divorce this time. But now, even though she was no longer going to divorce him, he still wanted to return to live with Su Han and Xiao Wu for a while. Luo Hongyu's sudden request made it difficult for him. If she stayed here, she would not be able to take care of Xiao Wu.

It's better not to. I live quite well in the villa. Furthermore, since the matter has already been resolved, it would appear that I am being unreasonable if I still live here.

When Ye Xiaoan said something difficult, of course Luo Hongyu could hear it. But she really felt that it would be better if the two of them lived separately for a period of time, and Xiao An was here with her, so she wouldn't feel wronged.

Don't worry, when the time comes, I will tell A Zhen that it was I who asked you to stay. If he dares to say anything else, I will tear off his ears!

Ye Xiaoan still wanted to return so it would be more convenient to see Xiao Wu, but Luo Hongyu didn't agree to it no matter what. In the end, Ye Xiaoan had no choice but to agree to stay here for two days. Only then did Luo Hongyu contentedly pull Ye Xiaoan towards the kitchen. If she remembered correctly, Xiao An was also a girl with pretty good culinary skills. Since he was going to cook for himself today, why not let her show some of her skills as well? In order to capture a man's heart, a woman should show more of her shining spots to a man. This was also to ease the relationship between the two of them.

Xiao An, look at mother's age. She really doesn't have the ability to cook alone. Why don't you help me out today? Each of us can cook four dishes each, and you can make another pot of soup. It's settled for tonight's dinner, what do you think?"

Luo Hongyu did not even give Ye Xiaoan a chance to reply, she had already started picking out ingredients. Normally, one would need to eat at least ten dishes in order to eat a meal, but today was a family banquet, there were only four people eating, so there was no need for so much, eight dishes was enough.

Speaking of which, it seemed that his wife and son hadn't eaten his cooking for three or four years. Usually, it was done by their servants, so where would they use him? However, when he was young, he and his wife managed a small Clothing shop.

At that time, he didn't have much money to live on. It would be great if he could cook two dishes for a single meal. His wife had never been picky with food. No matter what she did, he would always eat it with extreme delicacy. He would never put down his chopsticks until he finished the whole dish. Madam Jia remembered one time when she was a little confused because of the high fever and placed the white sugar as salt in the dish. Because he had no appetite, he did not eat any dishes. He only drank a bowl of porridge. His wife was still wolfing down her food as usual, not telling him about the problem with the dish at all.

When there was only a little bit of food left, he realized that the amount of food today was a little too much, and his wife might not be able to finish it. Just as she wanted to have a bite to eat, her wife quickly pushed another dish in front of her, repeatedly saying that he liked that plate and told her not to fight over it with him. Luo Hongyu was also a little angry. She was already sick, but he still didn't know how to take care of herself. It might be better now, wouldn't it be a little too much not to let herself eat a single dish? So she dropped her chopsticks and got so angry that she stopped drinking congee.

He only felt that Ye Zichen might have felt disgusted with him and didn't care about him right now. When they first started being together, he wouldn't get out of bed even if he had a little headache. Now, not only did he have to cook for him, he wasn't even allowed to eat a single mouthful of food. In the end, his wife had no other choice but to push the dish back. Luo Hongyu tasted it and discovered that other than the taste of the dish being sweet, there was no other taste. Only now did she realize why he was unwilling to give it to him just now. It was because this dish was too stinky to eat.

Now that I think about it, although several decades have passed, but when I think about it, my heart is still warm. Therefore, husband and wife still lived their lives together, and they shared the same heart.

CHAPTER 102

Until today, Luo Hongyu could not forget about this matter. Maybe sometimes the husband and wife have a lifetime, in the end really did not have as strong a love as before. However, because they had supported each other all their lives, there was a different tacit understanding between them. That was the best gift they could give to themselves in life.

Of course, she also hoped that her son and the daughter-in-law would become like this in the future, and become even more amiable and beautiful. Even if there was a small trifle in life, it was only some friction between husband and wife during their married life that made love even more solid. As long as one was able to pass every single test, they would be able to live a life of wealth in the future. Of course, they still didn't understand these truths. They had to go through some things, and it wasn't something others could help them with. They had to put in a lot of effort to truly understand it.

Luo Hongyu was really satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Right now, there were not many girls at her age that could cook, but most of them were pampered at home. Not only was she disrespectful to her elders, she was also selfish and self-centered. Not to mention, she wouldn't even take the initiative to help others. In comparison, although Xiao An did not have a family background, but he could rival all of the girls.

Luo Hongyu had also mentioned this to Gu Shaohua before. With his family's background, it would not be difficult to find a young miss from a wealthy family to become the daughter-in-law. But why would he look for a wealthy family?

They wanted to find a talented and knowledgeable daughter-in-law. Not only would she be a virtuous internal helper in the future, she would pay attention to her character and integrity was the true measure of a person's ability. Luo Hongyu was also secretly sizing up Xiao An. She looked like a person who knew how to cook at home, her housework was meticulous, and he looked rather proficient at it. Although normally, she wouldn't let a Young Madam like her cook, this could still reflect a person's personality. If his son really lost this daughter-in-law, then it would be a huge loss.

In the blink of an eye, the sky had darkened and Ye Xiaoan's last piece of seafood soup had already been prepared. Ye Xiaoan had never seen Luo Hongyu cook before, but today, he realized that Luo Hongyu was truly proficient in everything. The exquisite side dishes were laid out to please the eyes. One could tell that this was a habit only the jade-like girls of the southern region would have.

Mom, I didn't know you could cook. You look like a chef. Even the platters are so beautiful. How can it be like I only know how to cook some ordinary dishes, and I don't even know if I'll be able to pass the test, let alone look at it.

Ye Xiaoan was also praising his wholeheartedly. A woman who could lead such an exquisite life, was truly worthy of this life.

After Luo Hongyu heard this, how could she not be happy? Xiao An's mouth was as sweet as smeared honey, really coaxing his body and mind.

Just now, when Xiao An was cooking over there, he really made me hungry. He even looked like he was going to eat it. How could he not pass?

The dishes were brought to the table, and Gu Shaohua and Gu Yizhen who were already waiting carefully studied the dishes in front of them. After all, they were people who had lived for many years. Gu Shaohua and Gu Yizhen could recognize at a glance which dishes were cooked by Luo Hongyu. However, Gu Yizhen was surprised to find that despite living with Ye Xiaoan for three years, he didn't know that she knew how to cook?

But now that he thought about it, he rarely ate at home, furthermore, there were no servants at home, how could he let Ye Xiaoan cook? He hadn't really talked to her much in the past, and he only had a vague idea of what she was up to. It seemed that he really needed to spend more time to understand her. After all, he was someone who would live his life forever. If he didn't even understand this, then wouldn't it be a joke for others?

My whole life... Gu Yizhen was suddenly frightened by his own thoughts. Before he met Ye Xiaoan, he had never even considered when he would get married. Perhaps it was because he felt that he was too busy with his own business, so he had no time to meddle in his own personal affairs. After meeting Ye Xiaoan, she was indeed very competent as a wife. Not only did the elders in the family like his, they also gave his good conditions in various areas.

However, it was precisely because of this deal that the two of them had such a ridiculous marriage. Gu Yizhen also never thought that it would last so long, but at the same time, he had never considered the possibility of having such a terrifying life with a woman. Gu Yizhen thought that perhaps it was because the hints his parents gave him were too strong, that his parents usually treated him with respect, and that their relationship had always been good for the past few decades. It must have been because he saw them in this state that he was able to think of such a terrifying thing like forever.

How could he waste his good years on emotions? There should be more time for business. It was true that he had spent more time on Xiao Yanting recently, but he just wanted to make up for it with her as soon as possible. Perhaps it was because he had missed out on such a long time, so he always had a guilty conscience. At least until now, he had not found anyone more suitable to be his wife than Ye Xiaoan.

Aiyo, Xiao An's cooking is really not bad. Although it looks a little worse than what your mother made, it smells really good. It should be a good meal. Today, I want to eat an extra bowl of rice. You're not allowed to laugh at me."

When Gu Shaohua thought about how his son daughter-in-law coming home to accompany him for dinner and thinking about what had happened for the past few days, he finally got a result. He also finally let out a hearty laugh as his evacuated heart was filled with the depression of the past few days.

Luo Hongyu rebuked the old man, "Look at you old man, why are you not serious at all? If you want to eat more then eat more, why do you have to say it out loud first?

Ye Xiaoan hurriedly took the bowl and served the soup to the two elders, looking like a good daughter-in-law.

What's there to joke about? Mom said we're family, so if you think it's delicious, eat more. It just so happens that I hope that the two of you will be healthy and live to the age of a hundred. "

Gu Shaohua laughed out loud, Well said, well said, I also wish to live to the age of a hundred, after all, I have not had enough time with your mother.

Luo Hongyu glared at him. If one looked carefully, they would realize that her face was a little flushed.

Haven't you had enough? You old bastard, I have had enough with you. If you want to live to the age of one hundred, then I won't accompany you. I've worked with you for a lifetime and you even want to pester me for a few more years.

Looking at their expressions, Ye Xiaoan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When had he ever longed for this kind of lifestyle? Ever since she was young, she had wished for a happy family, just like his parents. Since his father's death, she had become incomplete, even fragmented, at home, and there was no room for recovery.

Not only did he not get the life he wanted, but his parents' marriage had been broken, and his happiness had vanished into thin air. Ever since the matter five years ago, Ye Xiaoan had no longer possessed the qualifications to search for such happiness. Her demands became lower and lower, and in the end, she could only hope to find a place to settle down and allow her to accompany Xiao Wu in his vigorous growth. What used to seem like such an easy dream had now become a dream.

Now, all he could do was put on an act and pretend to be happy. For the current Ye Xiaoan, even if he was pretending, it would already be a very rare and precious condition. Ye Xiaoan naturally understood that a tiny yearning still existed deep within his heart, but that was only a basic desire of humanity. It could not be suppressed, and had nothing to do with his current state of mind.

Thinking about it here, Ye Xiaoan then looked at the two elders in front of him, and suddenly felt that it was a little dazzling. This kind of living condition was clearly something that one could reach out and touch. However, there seemed to be an invisible layer of glass that could only be seen from afar. No matter what, it was impossible for it to be grasped in one's hands.

After dinner, Luo Hongyu said to the two of them: "Let's sleep here tonight. I've already told Xiao An that I will be sleeping at home for the next few days. But seeing that the sky is already dark and it is not safe to drive, A Zhen will probably stay at home tonight.

When Ye Xiaoan heard this, he felt that Luo Hongyu wasn't only doing it for him to live here today, rather, he wanted to get the two of them together so that he could get back together as soon as possible. Although Ye Xiaoan could understand that Luo Hongyu did this for their benefit, out of goodwill. However, for the past three years, she had always been sleeping in the same room as her. Since when had they ever shared a bed together!? If she were to sleep here tonight, she definitely wouldn't be able to propose that she sleep in a separate room. If that were the case, wouldn't that mean …

Mom, his company has so many things to do, and he hasn't been in the company for another day, so he must have saved up a lot of things already. You should just let him go back to sleep. This place is so far away from the company, so how early will he have to get up tomorrow to get to the company? A Zhen, what you say is correct?

Ye Xiaoan had his back facing Luo Hongyu and kept giving him meaningful glances, so Gu Yizhen naturally understood what she was worried about. Thus, he also followed up, I really have a lot of things to do at the company tomorrow. I'll definitely wake up early tomorrow and go to the office to start settling things. I'd better go back and sleep.

Gu Yizhen took his car keys and was about to leave, when Gu Shaohua, who had been silent for a long while, suddenly spoke.

It's been so long since you've been home. Today, listen to your mother, you can stay at home for one day. Since the company is busy with things, how could it possibly tire someone out? Furthermore, the work will never end, and even a little bit of delay will allow them to relax. There's nothing bad about it."

Ye Xiaoan heard what Gu Shaohua meant. He had no way to say anything else. Ever since he could remember, he had always been sleeping by himself. After there was Xiao Wu later on, he slowly accepted that there was a little guy on his bed. Even though it was an accident five years ago, he had found someone by his side when he woke up in the middle of the night, so he quickly put on his clothes and ran away. Ye Xiaoan thought that even if nothing unexpected happened tonight, he wouldn't be able to sleep.

Dad, why don't I go back and have Xiao An accompany you guys here?

Seeing that Ye Xiaoan still looked troubled, Gu Yizhen decided to return. However, the person who responded was the old man who rolled his eyes. He understood the old man's meaning, he was saying that he had no future.

CHAPTER 103

No matter how unwilling Ye Xiaoan was, in the end, they were still given a room. Ye Xiaoan sat on the bed, looking anxiously at the door, afraid that Gu Yizhen who was still chatting outside would suddenly come in, because she really wanted to take a bath right now.

Forget it, forget it. Otherwise, he wouldn't wash up today. It was just one day anyway. After he left tomorrow morning, he would get up early to take a bath. This room should be Gu Yizhen's. In the past, they never stayed at home when they came back, so Ye Xiaoan had never come to this room.

It was a very large room, but the decorations were not luxurious like the one in the villa. It was a very simple room. It was a gray room with a black silk quilt that suited his style. Inside was a very big bookshelf, on top of which were various types of prizes. It could be seen that in the past, Gu Yizhen was a good student who was both good and good at school.

However, what confused Ye Xiaoan was that there was not a single photo of him in the room. Could it be that he did not like to be photographed? If not for his name written on the medal, Ye Xiaoan would have suspected that he came to the wrong room.

What is it? Are you very interested in my medal? A voice suddenly sounded from behind him, scaring Ye Xiaoan out of his wits, she was already very nervous, the voice that suddenly came out almost made Ye Xiaoan scream out loud.

You walk quietly. Don't you know that people can scare people to death? It's already night time, isn't that a little too much?

Ye Xiaoan patted his chest, and angrily sat on the sofa. He glared at him in annoyance, then lowered his head and ignored him.

Gu Yizhen also couldn't think of anything. He had only spoken a few words with her, was there a need to be so frightened. Could it be that she was doing something in the room that he felt guilty about?

You couldn't be trying to steal something that frightened me to such an extent, right …

Do I have to steal anything I want to see? I'm still your wife in name. Why can't I do this in public?"

Ye Xiaoan spoke with confidence, but after he finished speaking, he felt that it was strange. Although he said he was his wife in name, he was only a woman without a name after all. Where did he get the courage to speak so boldly and brazenly?

Gu Yizhen was actually quite satisfied with her reaction. Even though he had been in a cold war with her during this period of time, he didn't know why, but for some reason, when he saw her self-proclaimed as his wife, he actually felt very comfortable in his heart.

You're right, you are my wife after all. There seems to be nothing that cannot be done in this house.

Ye Xiaoan's face immediately turned red, but after thinking about it, he realized that he was only playing along with him. Don't even think about it! When Ye Xiaoan thought about how he would be more satisfied with being with other girls outside, his face immediately turned cold.

How will you sleep tonight? I'm tired, I want to rest. You can leave tomorrow morning."

He was clearly fine just now, why did he suddenly turn hostile? Women were indeed animals that turned hostile faster than flipping books. Just as Gu Yizhen wanted to say something, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took out the phone, looked at the name on the screen, frowned, and hung up.

Seeing his reaction, Ye Xiaoan knew why even if he used his toes to think, he wouldn't be able to answer the phone in front of him. It was simply because the woman in front of him was Xiao Yanting.

If you want to answer the phone, I can go out first.

After Ye Xiaoan finished speaking, he stood up and started walking out, Gu Yizhen grabbed the woman's arm that was by his side.

It's fine, there's nothing important about her finding me, it's just that she likes me to accompany her. Since I promised to sleep at home with you tonight, I won't pick up her phone, it's not inconvenient at all.

On the contrary, it sounded like she couldn't accept it because she was there. Moreover, what did it mean to like him accompanying her? It sounded as if he was the third party, and sleeping at home with him was a bit difficult.

It's fine. You can say that your company has something on, then go down and talk to your parents. Then, you can leave. You don't have to worry about me, I won't explain it to them. "

Although Ye Xiaoan said those words in a bad mood, he seemed to have seriously considered it. This kind of thinking stung Ye Xiaoan's heart. Could it be that he really could not understand the meaning behind those words, or did he not care at all?

Forget it, I'll stay at home with you. Don't you want to take a bath? If you want to take a bath, I'll go out and chat with the old man for a while. "

Gu Yizhen had indeed seriously considered whether or not he should tell his parents. Every time Xiao Yanting found his to accompany him, if he had no way to go, she would always cry for him, and then cause a huge ruckus. After all, he owed his and had indeed promised to come to her as soon as she needed his company. Now that he had broken his promise time and time again, he felt a little guilty instead.

He saw that Ye Xiaoan's expression was growing worse, and he suddenly realised what he had done. But in the end, it was only a business deal between him and Ye Xiaoan, and had truly committed a mistake. Comparatively speaking, he would first of course consider the woman that made him feel guilty.

It was indeed just as Kang Ziye had said. He knew that he was in debt to Ye Xiaoan, but he still had a long way to go with her. The hardest thing to repay was the love debt. This saying was not bad, and he had experienced it firsthand.

Ye Xiaoan watched him walk out of the room, confirmed repeatedly that the door was locked, and then went into the bathroom to take a bath. He still wanted to return and live with Su Han. Ye Xiaoan decided to end this matter quickly in the next two days, and then move back as soon as possible.

After returning to the Gu family's Main House, the atmosphere here had always been oppressing him, and he also felt very tired of it. Maybe three years ago, this kind of feeling had already started to appear, but it had suddenly erupted recently.

Yesterday, when Su Han told her that she was going to another city to live, Ye Xiaolan actually yearned for it in his heart. If they had come to a place where they didn't know anyone, it would have been like back in Italy, free and unfettered, a freedom they hadn't experienced in a long time. Ye Xiaoan was also thinking that if Gu Yizhen and he really loved each other, he could withdraw. Bringing his son and Su Han along, he left this place, distancing himself from all this, and giving himself a chance to live anew.

Although Ye Xiaoan had once given him a throbbing heart, it no longer existed. Humans would always bow down to reality, and Ye Xiaoan had understood this logic since five years ago. Not only had she been given a resounding slap in the face by reality, he could now be considered to have grown a little wiser. Ye Xiaoan understood what it meant to retreat when faced with difficulties, and also knew how to protect himself in times of need.

Just as Ye Xiaoan finished showering, he heard a knock on the door. She then tightened his bathrobe and went to open the door. The one who had just returned was Gu Yizhen. They had been married for three years last night, but he had never seen Ye Xiaoan wearing a bathrobe. Normally, when the two of them returned home, they would at most eat dinner together. After that, they would each return to their respective rooms, no longer having any interactions with each other. Thus, even though they had lived together for three years, they were merely strangers that he was most familiar with.

Gu Yizhen never thought that Ye Xiaoan would also have such an alluring and sexy side to his. Normally, he rarely wore any kind of formal attire, but the last time Liang Yinuo wore that long skirt on his birthday, he knew that her figure was actually so good. He was currently wearing a bathrobe. Although it was covered tightly, because of the refreshing and pleasant smell of the shower gel, the white bathrobe, and his slightly puffed chest, he had a strange feeling.

Gu Yizhen had always bragged that he was a person with sufficient self-control, even after knowing Xiao Yanting for so long, he still understood the hidden motives behind Xiao Yanting's actions, but he had never responded, no matter how many times she tried to tempt him. This was his own room, but she did not have the familiar scent of shower gel on his, it should be the old man and co. specially prepared this night because Ye Xiaoan was sleeping at home.

Gu Yizhen had always known that the old man's wish was to one day have his own grandson, so he had finally slept at home with the two of them today. If they didn't cause some trouble, then that would not be the old man's style. Although the old man usually looked very serious, only he, his son, knew how evil he was as his father. If he didn't have such a belly full of schemes, how could he have made the business in his family so big? He was just pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, trying to fool others.

However, his relationship with Ye Xiaoan was still extremely awkward, and he did not know how far he would go. Now, Ye Xiaoan was willing to help him and his family to hide it, because they were still working together. Gu Yizhen still did not want to anger her easily, and furthermore, he was not willing to harm her in any way.

You sleep on the bed tonight, and I sleep on the sofa. If you need anything, just call me. I might be able to sleep less at night.

Gu Yizhen opened his eyes and no longer looked at Ye Xiaoan. He walked straight to the small sofa in the room and took off the jacket on his suit, intending to sleep after getting dressed. When Ye Xiaoan saw his actions, he was a little surprised. The people outside had all gone crazy, and he and a lot of other women had no relationship, but Ye Xiaoan did not expect him to do this in private.

Hearing that there was no sound from inside the house for a long time, Gu Yizhen opened his eyes, only to see that Ye Xiaoan was still in a daze.

What's the matter? Are you planning to stand guard there tonight? Hurry up and come in, close the door.

Ye Xiaoan only regained his senses after hearing his words, and immediately closed the door, anxiously concealing his expression. He had been in a daze more and more times. It seemed that the recent situation was getting more and more serious. And what was he thinking? She felt that he had spent a lot of time out there, but had come back to clean himself up. Was it because he was dissatisfied with his desire? It must not be like this, but because Ye Xiaoan had never slept in the same room with a man before, he became nervous and told himself in private.

Nothing, I was just thinking about something just now. Hurry up and sleep, you still have to go to work tomorrow morning.

Ye Xiaoan grabbed a blanket from the bed and threw it on top of his body. Suddenly, Gu Yizhen was smashed by it, and subconsciously replied, Why isn't this woman being gentle at all?

I've always been like this. If you don't like it, you can go out and find someone else.

Ye Xiaoan naturally did not realize how sour his tone of voice was when he said those words.

CHAPTER 104

Xiao Yanting was also doing this in secret. If the current Ye Xiaoan was already beginning to take action, then that would mean that the thing she was hoping for was getting closer and closer. As long as Ye Xiaoan completely disappeared from his side, the next step would be to be the woman closest to him.

Ye Xiaoan's mother had once told him that she was pregnant when there was an accident, but he never heard that she hit his child. If it was really beaten up by Ye Xiaoan, then there should be a record. Right now, what she needed the most was to catch hold of something that could threaten Ye Xiaoan. That way, he could completely force Ye Xiaoan away from Gu Yizhen's side.

Originally, Xiao Yanting thought that Ye Xiaoan had adulterated with another person when he was eighteen years old, so this matter was already very shocking. However, two days ago, when Ye Xiaoan's mother said that he was going to leave, he found out that she had actually come home to mention that he was pregnant. And it was because of this that she ran away from home.

Ye Shuzhen also suspected that with Ye Xiaoan's personality, he definitely would not let the child go. The more likely reason was that he had secretly given birth to the child. At that time, Xiao An was only eighteen years old, and he was even a student in school. He had never come into contact with society and didn't have the ability to live by himself at all. He didn't even know how he had survived these past few years, how could he possibly have the ability to raise a baby?

Ever since Ye Xiaoan came back, he had not seen any clues related to the events of the past, so Ye Shuzhen thought that maybe he was being too suspicious, and that she only mentioned it casually that day, but the person who said it was unintentional, and the person who heard it had intentions to do it. Xiao Yanting took note of this matter and remembered it in her heart. Regardless of whether or not it was true, having a clue was better than not having a clue at all.

She urgently needed to think of a way to have Ye Xiaoan leave, and it had been a while since she had last interacted with him. Although he had always helped her in her family's business, and had always been indulgent towards her various requirements. However, every time he wanted to be closer to A Zhen, he would always put on a estranged expression.

Of course Xiao Yanting understood that for an outstanding man like him, it was fine to have high standards. However, Xiao Yanting still had some confidence in herself, she was already outstanding enough. If his attitude was still the same, then that could only mean that it was because of Ye Xiaoan. When she started to ask Ye Shuzhen about the details of what happened that year, Ye Shuzhen naturally understood her intentions.

No matter what, Xiao An was still his own biological daughter, and it had been quite difficult for him to be outside all these years. Now that he had returned, how could Ting Ting force her away again? As a mother, no matter what, he would still show a little sympathy.

But when Ye Shuzhen hesitated, Xiao Yanting actually sneered and gave her a disdainful look. Five years ago, Ye Shuzhen didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache towards Ye Xiaoan, and had endured the pain of having her leave for five years. Now she wanted to pretend to be a good person, would Ye Xiaoan really buy it? Rather than that, it was better to place all her hopes on herself. Perhaps she could still hope that she could lead a good life by allowing her family to rise again.

The hint of affection that had just sprouted in Ye Shuzhen was broken just like that, once again, by Xiao Yanting. Although being a woman, she would still have some feelings, but what Ting Ting said was right, there was no other way out for her anymore. Furthermore, she was growing older, she had to at least leave him a way out.

She told everything that had happened that year to Xiao Yanting in detail. Although there were no actual clues, Xiao Yanting's heart was ignited with a ray of hope. Since they wanted to stand at A Zhen's side, then they would obviously need to pay ten times or even a hundred times the effort.

She wouldn't let go of any clues. No one knew how much she wanted to be with A Zhen right now. Ever since she saw Gu Yizhen on Liang Yinuo's Birthday Dinner, there had been no one left in her eyes. When she saw how domineeringly she protected Ye Xiaoan, she wished so much that the person who was hugging him was not Ye Xiaoan but herself!

She knew that Ye Xiaoan had already been by Gu Yizhen's side for a few years, so it wouldn't be easy for him to make her leave. But love has no first come first come first come, only whether to give sincerely. Xiao Yanting just wanted to have a fight with Ye Xiaoan. Only the people who had truly sacrificed their entire lives for him were worthy of such happiness.

She sent people to look for the location, and it took them a whole half a month to find Ye Xiaoan's address. Originally, the people he sent out did not have a clue, but because of the matter between him and A Zhen two days ago, they were exposed. Just now, Ye Xiaoan's amity appeared. She went to the villa to retrieve her luggage, and the people that she sent out had to follow them all the way, before finding her amity's address.

After a few checks, they finally ascertained that other than staying at the villa, Ye Xiaoan would also frequently visit her at amity's home. He had also stayed there for a very long time. They found a lot of residents in the neighborhood and only found out when they asked about it in private that they would often bring a little boy in and out of the neighborhood. Furthermore, the boy looked to be only three or four years old, which was exactly the same as when Ye Xiaoan left home.

It was just that she still did not know whether the child was Ye Xiaoan's or her amity's. After all, it had been a long time since Ye Xiaoan contacted his family, so the things he could find were very little. Furthermore, her life was very monotonous. Other than the amity, she had no other friends and it was very difficult for her to find a way out.

But Xiao Yanting did not want to give up. She wanted to know who the child belonged to. Xiao Yanting called Ye Xiaoan and arranged to meet him at the coffee shop. Ye Xiaoan was currently worrying about how he should settle this matter as soon as possible. Even he was surprised to suddenly hear from Xiao Yanting.

From the looks of it, she had done something that let him down, so how could he have the guts to call him directly? Wasn't this a provocation? Although Ye Xiaoan did not want to have any interactions with Xiao Family, he was young and angry, and would naturally resent being bullied. Thus, Ye Xiaoan picked up the phone.

Are you free this afternoon? Come to the coffee shop in front of the group. I have something to tell you.

Ever since Ye Xiaoan and her mother had moved into his house, Xiao Yanting had never taken the initiative to call her elder sister. He didn't even bother to call her by name. In her mind, he had never had any brothers or sisters, and Ye Xiaoan was merely someone who wanted to split the assets with his.

Ye Xiaoan did not say anything after hearing her words, as her rudeness did not fluctuate in the slightest. All these years, she had always been like this. Ye Xiaoan had long since gotten used to it.

Sorry, I might not have the time to go out now, but I still have things to do here. If you have anything to say, just say it, if it's not convenient to say it, then forget it.

Although she treated him as a young miss, to Ye Xiaoan, she could at most be considered as his little sister in name. Xiao Yanting never thought that she would dare to speak to him like this, but what she was about to say would probably shock her.

Are you really not going to come out and talk to me? I only recently found out that there was a three or four-year-old boy by your side. He was very pretty, so why don't we talk about it?

Xiao Yanting sipped the red wine in her hand and leaned on the sofa leisurely, speaking to Ye Xiaoan. She did not believe that Ye Xiaoan would be unaffected by her words in the slightest.

How could he possibly know of Xiao Wu's existence? He and Su Han had always been protecting Xiao Wu very well. Xiao Wu's school was the city's most confidential private school, so it was impossible for the information of his students to be leaked. Because of this, even though the cost of this school was ten times more than other schools, Ye Xiao An still sent Xiao Wu to this school.

Normally when they brought Xiao Wu out, they would try their best to avoid bringing him to places with many people. Even if the last time was to an amusement park, it was Su Han who had been watching over him the entire time, which was why she agreed to go there to play. There was no possibility of it leaking at all, maybe Xiao Yanting just wanted to trick him. Even Gu Yizhen had not investigated into this matter, how could she possibly know about it?

I don't know what you're talking about, but I really don't have the time to chat with you here. If you have nothing else to say, then I'll hang up.

Ye Xiaoan tried his best to stabilize his state of mind, to never let her see any trace of him. His son's privacy was his biggest weakness, and to Ye Xiaoan, his son was the most important person.

With regards to the matter between him and Gu Yizhen, no matter how excessively he did, Ye Xiaoan would still tolerate it. She admitted that he indeed had some different feelings towards Gu Yizhen, but that was merely a small thought, and was simply insignificant compared to his son. So no matter how bad the situation had developed, it definitely wouldn't become a reason for Ye Xiaoan to care about it, so Ye Xiaoan didn't take it to heart too much.

However, if anyone had ideas about his own son, Ye Xiaoan would definitely not be so indifferent to them, because to her, her son was his everything.

I know you don't want to admit it, but that's fine. After all, even if you don't admit it, I can't do anything about it. But you also know that I have never been a person who has principles. If I were to say it out loud, I will not bear any consequences."

Xiao Yanting realized that she would only be truly satisfied when it made Ye Xiaoan sad. Recently, because of the matter with A Zhen, she had not been feeling very comfortable.

If it was anyone else who was kept by the man he liked, they would probably be in a bad mood as well. However, as long as it made Ye Xiaoan sad, he would feel exceptionally comfortable. This would probably be his happiest day right now.

I don't know where you got the information, but if you're trying to use this as an excuse to threaten me, I'd advise you not to make such plans. It's true that I've been living with the amity ever since I got back from Italy, but you can go and investigate my activities over the past few years. I haven't gotten too close to any man, so where did your son come from?

Although Ye Xiaoan said this, his heart was still trembling. She was very worried, because regardless of whether or not she had truly investigated this matter, he was still very afraid, because this really was his weakness.

CHAPTER 105

Of course, Xiao Yanting did not care about how she argued with him. She only wanted to catch hold of Ye Xiaoan's weakness and let her leave as soon as possible. Everything else was secondary.

I don't want to talk so much nonsense with you. My time is limited. Meet me at the coffee shop opposite the Gu's group this afternoon. If you don't come, you will have to bear the consequences.

Xiao Yanting then hung up the phone, Ye Xiaoan's heart was in a panic like never before while listening to the busy tone of the phone.

Ye Xiaoan really didn't know what to do. If she continued to deny it, if by any chance Xiao Yanting still needed to investigate further, hiding and concealing was not a long term solution. If he just left it there, it would be impossible. After thinking for a long time, Ye Xiaoan still decided to go over personally. If there was anything that he needed to do, it was better to settle it right in front of him.

As Ye Xiaoan sat in the coffee shop waiting for her, he subconsciously held on to his clothes tightly. She was indeed very nervous, he didn't know what kind of news Xiao Yanting was going to give his. If she did find out, it might be the end of his quiet life for her son.

Ye Xiaoan had to protect her son, but she did not know if he could do it. After all, Xiao Yanting was not a very principled person, and would use any means possible to achieve her goal. If she really revealed the matter regarding her son, it would be very troublesome.

Ye Xiaoan waited for two hours before he arrived. Seeing her forced panic, Xiao Yanting knew something must have happened. However, things had not been thoroughly investigated, and Xiao Yanting was not completely sure. She only wanted confirmation from Ye Xiaoan's mouth right now, that was the only way to ensure his own safety.

Aiyo, my big sister is really early. Normally, you would look at me with disdain, but why does it look like you're very nervous today?"

Xiao Yanting sat on the chair slowly, her eyes staring straight at the lady in front of him, as if he wanted to burn a hole in her.

Handsome, have a cup of black coffee. Xiao Yanting's current mood was great. She had been feeling depressed recently, but today, she could finally find some fun.

Why did you have to ask me to come out? If it's just because of what you said, it's okay to say it on the phone. It's not a big deal.

Ye Xiaoan tried his best to look very natural. He picked up the coffee cup in front of him and took a sip, while his other hand still tightly grabbed onto the corner of his clothes.

It's not a big deal? If A Zhen knew that there was actually another child in your relationship with him for two or three years, would he really ignore it? I have already sent people to investigate. Besides staying in the villa, you usually also live in your amity's home. Your amity is an unmarried girl, how could she possibly have a child? So when you think about what happened a few years ago, the last thing that might happen is that this child is yours.

The assured expression on Xiao Yanting's face also made him a little at a loss. Logically speaking, he should have already hidden Xiao Wu very well, she had no reason to find out about Xiao Wu's matter. But her expression of certainty instead made Ye Xiaoan panic a little. Had he really been found out?

That child is called mother Su Han. If you don't believe me, you can ask the neighbors. Furthermore, you don't need to care about my personal matters. You're actually afraid that others will investigate me? Don't you think that you're going too far? If you continue to harass me like this, I'll call the police.

Ye Xiaoan straightened his back and confronted her head-on. She told himself not to mess around. If there was even the slightest hint of a trace, it would definitely be discovered. For the sake of his son, he must work hard and persevere.

Xiao Yanting leisurely took a sip of coffee and placed a photo on the table.

This is your son, I know you don't want to admit it. But it doesn't matter, since I already know about the child, then I will definitely find out about his background. As you know, money makes the difference. Right now, there are quite a few people who have gone insane. If something were to happen to your son, tsk tsk tsk, this pitiful child …

Ye Xiaoan's pupils shrank. She was actually threatening him. Even though he could keep denying it, as long as she didn't find any evidence, it wouldn't mean anything. But she actually used Xiao Wu's safety to threaten him! Ye Xiaoan definitely would not let his son take such a risk.

Tell me, what do you want?

Xiao Yanting was overjoyed. Originally, she just wanted to trick her, but she didn't expect Ye Xiaoan's mental fortitude to be so bad. In just a few sentences, she had already revealed the whole situation. Seeing her current behavior, it was clear that she had tacitly agreed.

Haha, since you admit it, then I will talk about other things. I know it wasn't easy for you to pull the child away by yourself for these past few years, but if you want to be together with A Zhen now, you should at least be honest. You shouldn't hide it from him, he hates being cheated the most.

Ye Xiaoan listened to her ridiculing him while remaining silent. He was more worried about her son's safety. As long as she didn't hurt her son, she would be able to tolerate him being a little bit too excessive towards his. However, he wouldn't be able to do anything when he met her son.

You don't need to care about those things. You only need to tell me the reason why you sought me out today. I still have a lot of things to do, so I don't have time to chat with you here.

Ye Xiaoan was extremely fed up with his mouth and face right now, and he even hated everyone in their Xiao Family. If it wasn't for his mother's insistence on marrying her father, he wouldn't have done so much now. Seeing that the matter had already been exposed, Ye Xiaoan had nothing to hide, so he spoke even more directly to her.

"Don't you know why I've come to find you? I don't like you appearing by A Zhen's side, I hope you can leave by yourself. If you agree, then you should leave as soon as possible in a few days. I will take care of the rest of the matters.

Xiao Yanting didn't want to sympathize with him, but rather, she didn't want to blow this matter up, so she decided to just leave quietly. It would be best if she could act as if she had abandoned him at the start, which was even better.

If you don't agree, then I will ask you to inform the Gu family of the news of an unmarried child. Let's see if Gu family, a family with a huge family, can still allow someone like you to exist. If you don't have an unmarried child, that would be a big deal that would go against common morals. I think that Old Man Gu and Luo Hongyu wouldn't be able to accept it.

Ye Xiaoan also felt a headache coming on. If the matter with Xiao Wu were to be exposed, she would not be worried about how the Gu family would
