If Ye Xuan gets annoyed about this, their evaluation of him might actually lower.
The difference between a military and a political career is right here. In the past, Ye Xuan could climb up pletely by his own ability, now, he can’t.
Fortunately, he’s not as arrogant as everyone thinks. Then, he really counts as a good match for Ye’er, I believe the old man and lady can finally be at ease.
When they ended their chat, Luo Ye happened to e downstairs, glanced around, and said, "Did you hold a little meeting behind my back?"
Wen Bai looked resigned: "This lass, do we need to hide it from you to hold a little meeting?"
"Tsk, didn’t you hide the earlier stuff from me? Went all the way to Island City without revealing a hint.
If I hadn’t caught on today, who knows how long you would’ve kept it from me. So, holding a little meeting behind my back now isn’t impossible." Luo Ye said, looking towards Ye Xuan, "Did they give you a hard time?"
"No, they gave me reassurance." Ye Xuan glanced at the time, stood up, "Uncles, it’s getting late, you should get some rest too."
"If you think we’re a bother, just say so, Second Brother, e on, it’s rare that we’re all home, let’s go have a match." Wen Song said as he got up and headed upstairs.
Wen Bai quickly caught up: "Let’s have a match then, but don’t cheat, or I won’t play with you anymore."
"Who’s cheating?"
"Wasn’t it you who took back moves last time?"
"..."
Listening to those two uncles, usually so serious, bickering all the way to the study, Luo Ye smiled at Ye Xuan: "What did they talk to you about?"
"Actually, you can guess..." Ye Xuan sat back down and repeated the contents of the conversation to Luo Ye.
"Seems like, in Grandpa’s eyes, you’re quite foolish." Luo Ye laughed mischievously as she stood up, "I’m going to sleep too, you rest early."
"Ye’er, you..." Ye Xuan watched her disappearing figure with a wry smile, clearly, that girl was upset that he hadn’t told her earlier.
He did think about telling her, but, after much deliberation, he didn’t know how to begin. Should he say, Ye’er, someone fancies you...
...
The next morning, Wen Tong came downstairs, smiling broadly, supporting Hua Rong, leaving Li Niangying stunned for a while. She approached Luo Ye: "Ye’er, how did you manage that?"
Luo Ye coughed expressionlessly: "I told Uncle that if he kept this up, I’d introduce Aunt to a better, handsome husband, so when that time es, he’d regret it immensely."
Li Niangying: "..." For a while, "Ye’er, would you really do that?"
Luo Ye pouted: "Can’t rule out the possibility."
Li Niangying quickly defended: "Actually, your uncle isn’t unconcerned about Hua Rong, he simply doesn’t know how to interact with his partner.
In the past, when he was with Yu Miao, they barely municated, and as you’ve noticed, the men in our family don’t like to show they care about their wives in public.
To be blunt, it’s super machismo, so although they care deeply, and worry to death, they feel they have to put on a nonchalant face in public.
Honestly, I used to be disappointed in your big uncle too, but after so many years, I understood, it’s just the way the men in the Old Wen Family are.
I’ve talked privately with Hua Rong, luckily, she’s not a clingy type; though a bit disappointed, she wouldn’t make a fuss with Wen Tong."
"It’s because she has a good temper that Uncle’s been so unreliable. Aunt needs attention, especially when pregnant, what machismo stance is he taking?" Luo Ye snorted, "Their behavior is all because you spoiled them."
Li Niangying amusedly rubbed Luo Ye’s head: "Yes, yes, it’s all our fault for spoiling them; we’re counting on Ye’er to liberate us?"
"No fooling around, Aunt, does Brother really have a girlfriend?" Luo Ye suddenly remembered the news Ye Xuan told her on the flight back, and asked.
"Mm, it’s one of his classmates, he said he’d bring her home to meet us over the New Year." Li Niangying sighed, "At his age, he should be settling down."
Luo Ye leaned her small face close, eyes full of mischief: "Aunt, are you feeling a bit sour inside?"
"You little devil! Asking what you already know, huh?" Li Niangying reached out and touched Luo Ye’s cheek, "I was wondering, since I saw Ye’er, there’s been something off, now I get it.
Quick, tell me, how did you get your skin so good?" Truly, no matter their age, women can’t resist loving beauty.
"Does Aunt also want to practice the Ye Family’s Heart Method?" Luo Ye tossed out this excuse again.
"Ahem..." Li Niangying awkwardly coughed lightly, "Better not, for things like this, Aunt’s wise enough to stay clear."
With Mr. Wen absent, Wen Song was the senior family member, thus once breakfast was ready, he picked up his chopsticks first.
Breakfast was cozy and overly sweet—Wen Tong’s personality had reversed entirely, continuously helping Hua Rong with food and drink, directly causing Wen Song and Wen Bai to leave before finishing eating.
"Xiao Tong, spend less time at the pany for now, and take care of your wife more." At the door, Wen Bai returned to remind him.
Hua Rong blushed slightly, casting a sideways glance at Wen Tong: "Hurry to work, you’re really... really overdoing it."
"Rongrong, you don’t like it?"
"Cough! Cough! Cough!..." Luo Ye was choked till tears came out, now she regretted it, yesterday, she shouldn’t have threatened Uncle, this change is too startling...
