Old Master Ye erupted into a burst of laughter, unable to contain his glee. He said, âAh, I see. Why didnât you say so sooner? Then carry on, I wonât disturb you! Haha, make haste, quicken your pace.
âBy the way, make sure to lock the door and turn off your phones, donât let anyone interrupt you. Never mind, Iâll have Zhong Li make a call and tell everyone at Clearcreek Mansion to keep their distance from the main house. Haha, alright, enough said, get to it quickly. Ah, life suddenly seems to have purpose again.â
CLICK!
With that, Old Master Ye hung up.
In the bedroom, Rong Qi and Ye Nanshen were plunged into an awkward silence. The atmosphere was set, but nothing was happening. Rong Qi wished she could bury herself under the covers and perish from embarrassment. She hadnât done anything, yet she was so mortified!
Ye Nanshen was smiling with brows raised, his body heating up as he wrapped his arms around Rong Qi. She grabbed his hand and bit down. Ye Nanshen sharply inhaled. It hurt, but it brought clarity.
âWhat kind of dog bites so viciously?â Ye Nanshen asked.
âWhat pigsty did this swelled-up pig come from?â Rong Qi asked. She glared at Ye Nanshen, and the absurdity of the conversation he had with Old Master Ye made her itch to bite down even harder.
âHow am I going to face Grandpa after letting him in on such matters?â Rong Qi thought as she ground her teeth.
âYou were the one who told me to answer,â Ye Nanshen nonchalantly passed the blame.
Rong Qi reached for her empty sleeve. She thought, âWhere the hell is my needle? Iâm going to make him shut up or at least prick him silent!â
On the other hand, in Ye residenceâs study, Zhong Li was anxious as he reminded, âMaster, you havenât told Master Shen about tonightâs family banquet. Why did you hang up so abruptly?â
âWhat about it? Whatâs that compared to my future great-grandson? Alright, make a call to Clearcreek Mansion and tell the servants not to disturb the couple. Donât even breathe a word about the banquet.â
Old Master Ye ordered cheerily, appearing as a shrewd old fox scheming.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhong Li sighed, âI had tried my best. There was no persuading him. It was hard enough getting Master Xian and the others to come back. If Master Shen didnât show up, who knew when theyâd all gather again? He was the one who suggested using this time to bring them closer together.â
Just as Zhong Li took a few steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned back, âMaster, Master Xian has returned. Heâs injured, and the doctor is already on it. Would you like to go see him?â
At the mention of Ye Shaoxian, Old Master Yeâs brows furrowed, and he snorted coldly, âWhy bother? Iâve said before, that those who donât discipline their children will eventually have someone else do it for them. He always angers the wrong people outside and ends up getting a lesson; he deserves it! Pass the word, from now on, no one is to listen to him! Otherwise, if I find out, theyâll be expelled from the Ye family!â
âYes, Iâll convey the message right away.â Zhong Li nodded, then turned to leave.
In another courtyard of the Ye residence, Madam Liu looked at the injured Ye Shaoxian and began to cry, âWhat happened again? How did we provoke someone from Clearcreek Mansion this time? Iâm going to tell Father. Does Ye Nanshen have the final say on everything in this city?â
Madam Liu was about to stand up and Ye Shaoxian said grumpily, âI told you it wasnât him.â
âWho else could it be? Who else would dare to touch you in this city? Xian, no matter what, it was he who was wrong this time. I canât let this off!â
âThis is my own business, you donât need to interfere. Get out!â Ye Shaoxian said impatiently.
Madam Liu clenched her fists tightly and said, âThereâs the family banquet tonight, donât leave. If you donât attend, your grandfather will get angry again..â
