"Da Jie’s child is five years old this year, so it really is five generations under one roof." Ye Xuan said with a light laugh: "When there’s ti, I’ll detail to you the mbers of our family, lest one day there’s an unexpected dispute and peace is only made after realizing they are one’s own kin."
"Am I really that combative in your eyes?" Luo Ye gave him a sideways look: "Hurry up and stick to the important matters, don’t change the subject."
"Just half an hour, how would I dare change the subject? You see, it was clearly you who asked ..." Ye Xuan organized his thoughts and continued: "That day, the Yu Family ca to the Ye Family to propose marriage, which coincided with Great Grandpa’s serious illness. The family elders had no mind to bother with them, so they put it off for later conversation. Mr. Yu thought the Ye Family looked down on him and imdiately threw down so harsh words.
After all, the Yu Family is also a well-known large clan, and even though the Ye Family is stronger, they didn’t want to needlessly make an enemy. Grandpa weighed the pros and cons and told them the truth, Mr. Yu felt very embarrassed, apologized, and after visiting Great Grandpa, took his leave.
Sohow, the story got out, and the narrative beca that the Yu Family proposed to the Ye Family and were rejected. So even went to the trouble of asking Grandpa, and only after Grandpa’s explanation did the other party believe that the rumors were false.
Such matters, those of lesser standing naturally would not dare to ask in front of the host family, so besides Grandpa clarifying it once, others had no chance to bring it up.
Strangely, the Yu Family did not clarify the rumor either, so the story just spread and turned real, as to why the Yu Family never ca again, that’s unclear."
"Your Great Grandpa..." Luo Ye hesitated as she looked at Ye Xuan and did not continue.
"Great Grandpa is 96 years old this year. His body is still relatively strong, just that his mory has faded, and he’s beco like a little child, the only people he recognizes are Grandpa and ..." A touch of sadness flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes: "Every ti I go back, he gets excited like a child, insisting on moving a stool for to sit.
He likes to tell things he thinks are interesting. If I laugh, he grins happily; if I don’t, he looks at uneasily. Sotis I tease him on purpose, keeping a straight face, and he’ll keep changing the subject until I smile and he seems relieved...
Ye’er, if possible, I’d like you to et him sooner, after all, you never know with an old person’s health."
"I can." Luo Ye’s voice choked, her eyes shining with tears: "As long as there’s a holiday, I’ll go with you to see him. I don’t care about anything else, just to see him."
"Ye’er..." Ye Xuan’s eyes were filled with emotion. Generally speaking, girls are very reserved in this aspect, he was fully prepared for her to refuse him, to say wait until the parents arrange a date.
He never imagined she would so readily agree. After all, girls and boys are different; for a mont, he was at a loss for words, feeling that anything he might say would be pretentious and unworthy of her...
"Don’t look at like that." Luo Ye felt very uncomfortable being stared at, her rosy cheeks growing increasingly radiant: "Staring at soone like that is very rude."
Ye Xuan gently embraced her: "I’m grateful that I took this step early. Do you rember when we first t, how much I liked to tease you?"
Luo Ye nodded: "Yes, back then you were so annoying, and I especially wanted to annoy you too."
"I can’t believe that was sothing I did. At the ti, I had no awareness of my own abnormal behavior. After returning to Beijing, Captain Jiang always joked with , saying I must have fallen for his niece, or why else would I be so out of character?
Thinking about it carefully, I’ve never been so cheeky in front of anyone else from childhood. Since then, I’ve talked much less around you.
Looking back now, I was really quite immature. To arrogantly think I was six years older than you, sotis I feel like you are even more carefree than I am."
"Why add ’sotis’ and ’seems like’? It’s obvious that I’m more carefree than you, you scaredy-cat!" Luo Ye pinched his nose: "So, does that an it was love at first sight for you?"
"Ye’er, next ti you have a break, don’t forget to let go with you to Grandpa’s house." Ye Xuan suspiciously changed the subject.
"Got it." Luo Ye rolled her eyes: "A scaredy-cat afraid to admit it, not carefree at all, hmph!"
Sohow, she found herself half-reclining in his arms, radiant like a blooming flower, exuding a captivating fragrance, with the oblique sunset light unashadly sneaking in, casting a seductive and enchanting glow upon her delicate form.
