"Grandma, I didn't..."

Before Ye Chaoran finished his explanation, he heard footsteps approaching hurriedly.

Jiang Ze didn't care about etiquette at this time. He was shocked and asked directly: "What do you mean together? Who is with whom?"

Xia Wen replied in a daze: "Aunt Tan said that your brother and Chao Ran are together?"

Jiang Jun nodded. That’s right.

Ye Chaoran was anxious: "No, no, we are just friends now! We are really not together!" Can you hear his explanation! Ye Chaoran was really embarrassed!

As soon as Jiang Xunmo came down, he heard Ye Chaoran's somewhat anxious voice. He raised his eyes and saw Ye Chaoran sitting on the sofa.

Ye Chaoran naturally saw him as well. He quickly stood up and waved at Jiang Xunmo: "Come and explain..."

Jiang Xunmo didn't notice the weird atmosphere here at all. He touched his face and hairstyle at the first moment, feeling extremely annoyed. Why didn't he change into some more handsome clothes when he went downstairs just now! And she didn't even have her hair done!

"Brother, why didn't you tell us that the Ye family was coming too!" Jiang Xunmo chose to direct his anger at his own brother.

Jiang Ze hadn't recovered from the shock of "being together". When he thought about how he was still single and his silly brother was already single, his tone suddenly became very resentful: "You didn't ask just now. Who told you to be so impatient to listen to me?"

Jiang Xunmo glared at Jiang Ze angrily. He really wanted to go upstairs to wash and dress, but then he remembered that Ye Chaoran seemed to be calling him just now.

Thinking of the "Love Sutra" that Jiang Ze sent him, Jiang Xunmo chose the former between "listen to your partner" and "always maintain the best appearance in front of your partner".

Jiang Xunmo walked over quickly and held Ye Chaoran's hand in front of everyone: "Let's go upstairs first."

Ye Chaoran was still thinking about explaining it clearly: "Wait..."

"Let's talk upstairs," Jiang Xunmo covered his face with his other hand, "and don't look at me."

Ye Chaoran was embarrassed and puzzled as to why he couldn't look at Jiang Xunmo. But without giving him a chance to ask, he was just pulled away by Jiang Xunmo.

It was not until the two of them disappeared in the corridor that Tan Zheng smiled and said, "Ranran is a child who likes to be shy."

Ye Zong also nodded in agreement: "It was the same when he first met us."

Xia Wen and Jiang Jun looked at each other.

My own son has already done it, so how can it look like they are not together?

Thinking of their current age, Xia Wen nodded in understanding: "I understand. After all, Ranran is still young." It's normal to be shy!

After a while, the name changed.

Jiang Jun thought of Ye Chaoran's appearance just now, and felt very satisfied: "It's a good thing for our little brat!"

Jiang Ze was already starting to feel jealous: "It's more than just a bargain, he's simply super lucky!" Ye Chaoran looked like a very well behaved child.

Ye Zong liked to hear these words praising Ye Chaoran and immediately laughed out loud.

Tan Zheng thought of something and asked in surprise, "By the way, you guys seemed confused just now. Did Xiao Jiang not tell you about this?"

When Xia Wen thought of this, she felt a little suffocated.

The entire Ye family knew about it, but they were still kept in the dark by Jiang Xunmo!

"Aunt Tan, you know that the boy from my family had a quarrel with his father some time ago, and now he is still quarreling with us! I have always known that he has a child he likes, but he didn't tell me that the child is your Ranran!" Xia Wen became angry as she said this, and couldn't help thinking about their attitude towards Ye Chaoran just now. Fortunately, she thought Ye Chaoran was a good-looking child when she first met him, and kept praising him!

The only problem is that she didn’t give a red envelope!

Xia Wen pursed her lips and glanced at Jiang Jun.

Jiang Jun thought of the same thing as her, and hurriedly whispered, "I'll prepare it myself."

After saying that, he stood up and found an excuse to leave.

Jiang Ze also followed, and Xia Wen was suddenly the only one left in the living room to chat.

Ye Chaoran was pulled by Jiang Xunmo into his room. After closing the door, Jiang Xunmo let go of his hand: "I'm going to change my clothes, you can sit anywhere."

After saying this, Jiang Xunmo didn't even give Ye Chaoran a chance to speak and hurried towards his bedroom.

Ye Chaoran opened his mouth, but had to swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He sat down on the sofa in the living room, his right hand still retaining Jiang Xunmo's body temperature. Everything that had just happened downstairs kept replaying in his mind, and Ye Chaoran covered his hot face with his hands.

This rumor is too outrageous!

If he had known earlier, he should have explained it clearly to Song Ya and Ye Pei from the beginning!

Although he does have a crush on Jiang Xunmo, they are really not together yet!

At this moment, Ye Chaoran really wanted to dig a hole in the ground, bury himself in it and never come out again.

About half an hour later, Jiang Xunmo finally changed his clothes and came out of the bedroom.

Ye Chaoran was much calmer now, but the embarrassment in his heart had not yet dissipated. He also really didn't want to see Jiang Xunmo, so he just took a quick glance and then looked away.

Jiang Xunmo rummaged through the closet for a long time and still felt that a dress was more appropriate.

Ye Chaoran was wearing white and he was wearing black, and when they stood together they looked like a couple.

Before coming out, Jiang Xunmo was very satisfied with his appearance, but what puzzled him was why Ye Chaoran only glanced at him and didn't look at him again?

Doesn’t it look good?

Jiang Xunmo sat down opposite Ye Zhaoran, and suddenly remembered that Ye Zhaoran seemed to ask him to explain something just now. He cleared his throat and asked, "By the way, what did you call me for just now?"

The heat on Ye Chaoran's face had just subsided, but now it began to surge up again.

"Just..." Ye Chaoran took a deep breath, trying his best to stay calm, and quickly told Jiang Xunmo what had just happened.

After finishing speaking, Ye Chaoran no longer dared to look at Jiang Xunmo. He picked up the pillow beside him and covered his face.

It's really too much to tell rumors about yourself and him in front of the person you like! shame! shame! it’s done!

After hearing this, Jiang Xunmo's eyes widened a little and he was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

After a long time, he finally thought of something: "You...your family knows?"

Ye Chaoran said in a muffled voice: "They were just guessing." And they guessed it a long time ago, earlier than him!

I can only say that Song Ya and Ye Pei are really too perceptive.

Jiang Xunmo felt even hotter in his heart, and his ears turned pink: "So you know that too?"

Ye Chaoran buried his head deeper and spoke in a lower voice: "Hmm."

Jiang Xunmo: “…”

He thought he covered it up well! As a result, Ye Chaoran actually knew what he was thinking...

The two of them sat facing each other, steam coming out of their faces.

What should I do?

Jiang Xunmo's brain started working rapidly.

Things didn't develop in the way Jiang Xunmo expected. Although he really wanted Ye Zhaoran to like him, but...

But you can’t let the whole family know so suddenly!

They haven't even confessed their feelings to each other, let alone confirmed their relationship, so how come the whole family misunderstood them?

"I..." Jiang Xunmo was a little nervous, "I'll go explain, you wait for me upstairs." He had to explain clearly, otherwise there would be more misunderstandings later.

Ye Chaoran's entire head was inside the pillow, with only a section of his neck that looked like it was dyed showing.

"Yeah." Ye Chaoran said vaguely.

Jiang Xunmo quickly got up and went downstairs.

Jiang Jun and Jiang Ze came back downstairs, and Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang also came downstairs. They were chatting with Tan Zheng and Ye Zong about Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo.

When Jiang Xunmo approached, he even heard the word "engagement". Jiang Xunmo's eyelids twitched, and he shouted without thinking: "We are not together yet!"

Hearing his powerful voice, everyone present turned around and looked over.

Xia Wen was stunned for a moment: "Not together? It's already this time, what nonsense are you still talking about? We are not unenlightened parents, we will not stop you."

Jiang Jun thought more, and his face changed immediately: "You little bastard, Ranran has admitted it, do you really want to deny it?"

Jiang Ze and Jiang Jun thought of the same thing and quickly added: "Scumbag!"

Jiang Xunmo: “…”

"Can you please listen to me?" Jiang Xunmo was really having a headache at the moment, "We are not even adults yet!" How could we be together?

"You are eighteen today." The speaker was Grandma Jiang.

Grandpa Jiang on the side also nodded in agreement: "Ran Ran is not yet an adult, but I heard from Ye Zong that she will be an adult soon. When Ran Ran comes of age, you can get engaged first!"

Engagement is still something you can consider...

Oh, that's not right! He came to explain!

Jiang Xunmo quickly put this thought behind him, looked at everyone seriously and said, "Ye Zhaoran and I are really not together yet, can you listen to me carefully?"

Instantly, everyone in the living room looked at him.

Xia Wen knew Jiang Xunmo well enough, and seeing how persistent he was, she believed him a little and asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"

Jiang Xunmo's ears felt a little hot when he thought of Ye Chaoran, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Nothing happened, we just haven't been together yet."

Jiang Jun couldn't hold back her temper at that time, she stood up and glared at him: "Then you two like each other, right? Why aren't you together yet?"

Jiang Ze added insult to injury: "Flirting?"

"How dare you flirt with Ranran?!" Jiang Jun's tone suddenly rose, "Do you believe me--"

"Shut up!" Xia Wen spoke at the right time and glared at Jiang Jun. She didn't believe that her son was the kind of scumbag who was flirting with others. She looked at Jiang Xunmo and said, "You have to explain it to us clearly before we can believe you."

Jiang Xunmo didn't even look at his biological father, but turned to look at Xia Wen and Ye Zongtan Zheng, and explained: "I am an adult, but Ye Chaoran is not yet an adult."

Grandpa Jiang was also anxious: "Is there any connection between the two?"

"Of course there is a connection," Jiang Xunmo said seriously, "Grandpa, didn't you just say that Ranran is not yet an adult?"

The first time he called her "Ranran", Jiang Xunmo's face felt a little hot.

Grandpa Jiang was dumbfounded: "Yeah, could it be that you are——"

"I'm waiting for him to reach adulthood," Jiang Xunmo took over the conversation. "Minors can date, but I'm an adult, and adults can't date minors. It's against the law!"

The huge living room fell silent in an instant.

Jiang Xunmo continued, "And we will soon be in our third year of high school, so everything will be based on academics. According to my original plan, I wanted to wait until I graduated from the college entrance examination before confessing to Ran, ahem, Ranran."

I felt a little uncomfortable being called that the second time, but mostly out of shyness.

Jiang Xunmo felt his ears getting even hotter and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his body.

The two parents present looked at each other, and the expressions on everyone's faces were hard to describe.

Finally, Tan Zheng sighed and asked, "Xiao Jiang, does Ranran know what you are thinking?"

Jiang Xunmo coughed lightly: "Originally I didn't intend to tell him, but just now you all——"

Things have gotten to that point, how could he not say anything?

Everyone fell silent again.

Grandma Jiang looks at Xia Wen.

Xia Wen had a complicated expression. If she were asked to speak now, what would she say? ? She doesn’t know either? !

How could she have such a virtuous son!

Xia Wen was also devastated, but she couldn't say it.

In the endless silence, Jiang Ze finally spoke up: "I have a question."

Jiang Xunmo tilted his head to look at him.

Jiang Ze had just taken advantage of him twice, and he remembered both of them.

"You say." Jiang Xunmo said.

Jiang Ze looked conflicted and a little embarrassed, but he still gritted his teeth and asked, "How did you... make Ranran fall in love with you?"

He hasn't even found a partner yet, so how come his younger brother is about to be single? !

Although it will take another year for them to be together, at least they have a goal! Not like him! I have been a widower for so many years!

Jiang Xunmo looked at Jiang Ze in surprise when he heard this question: "Didn't you help me? I just did it according to the information you sent me."

Jiang Ze thought for a long time before he remembered the four-digit red envelope that Jiang Xunmo had transferred to him, and the "Love Sutra" that he had downloaded and compiled from the Internet.

Jiang Ze's expression suddenly became very interesting. His lips trembled for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

Jiang Xunmo ignored him and looked at the others, especially Ye Zong and Tan Zheng: "Grandpa Ye, Grandma Tan, do you have any questions?"

Ye Zong was still sorting out his emotions.

He never thought that after all this fuss, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

It can’t be said that it was all a misunderstanding, but it’s almost a misunderstanding.

Thinking about Ye Chaoran's explanation just now, Ye Zong's face turned red. Why didn't he listen to Ranran's explanation just now? !

Tan Zheng and Ye Zong had the same idea. Ranran had just explained it to them, so why didn’t they listen?

The two new grandparents were in deep self-blame at this time and were also deeply reflecting on themselves.

"It's okay, it's okay," Tan Zheng spoke first, "Xiao Jiang, you...you go upstairs and accompany Ranran first."

Xia Wen took over the conversation: "Yes, don't let Ranran stay upstairs alone, go up first, we will call you for dinner later."

Jiang Xunmo nodded, turned around and went upstairs.

Even after he left for a long time, the weird and awkward atmosphere in the living room still did not dissipate.

Jiang Ze suddenly stood up and said seriously, "I'll go back to my room."

Xia Wen warned, "Don't go looking for your brother."

Jiang Ze said don't worry and went upstairs quickly.

What exactly is written in the "Love Sutra"? !

The more Jiang Ze thought about it, the more anxious he became. If a dull person like Jiang Xunmo could become smart and find a future partner, then he could do it too!

Isn’t it just a hundred pages?

He memorized all of them and didn't believe he couldn't find a partner!

Jiang Ze returned to his room with full confidence.

At the same time, Jiang Xunmo finally pushed the door open and entered his room.

If it were before, he would not have hesitated at all to return to his room, but today, for some reason, he felt a little nervous.

As soon as the door was opened, Ye Chaoran looked over.

He hadn't let go of the pillow in his hand yet, and half of his face was buried in the pillow, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. The blush on his face hadn't completely faded away, and there was a thin layer of red around his exposed eyes, and there was still water in his eye sockets, making them look wet.

Jiang Xunmo felt as if his heartbeat seemed to skip a beat.

This is cute.

Jiang Xunmo pretended to be calm and walked over slowly.

"I... have explained everything clearly." Jiang Xunmo sat next to Ye Chaoran somewhat awkwardly.

Ye Chaoran didn't look at him again and lowered his head: "Oh."

Jiang Xunmo glanced at Ye Chaoran's profile, then looked away.

"What did they say again? Do they believe what you said?" Ye Chaoran couldn't help but ask again.

It’s mainly about the two of them, with truth and lies mixed together. Not to mention his family, even Ye Chaoran himself doesn’t believe it.

Jiang Xunmo said, "They believed it."

After all, he was telling the truth.

Ye Chaoran was a little surprised: "Do you believe it?"

"Of course." Jiang Xunmo said firmly.

Seeing his certainty, Ye Chaoran became a little uncertain himself.

Would it be better if someone else explained it?

Jiang Xunmo didn't know what Ye Chaoran was thinking, but he was keenly aware of his nervousness.

Not to mention Ye Chaoran, Jiang Xunmo was also nervous at this moment.

"Would you like a drink?" Jiang Xunmo asked.

Ye Chaoran said: "Water will do."

Jiang Xunmo brought over two bottles of mineral water, unscrewed one and handed it to Ye Chaoran.

Ye Chaoran took it and said thank you.

Jiang Xunmo also unscrewed the bottle cap and drank two sips of water, but his eyes were always on Ye Chaoran.

“By the way, I didn’t know you were coming at first.” Jiang Xunmo said.

Ye Chaoran took a sip of water, thinking of the surprise on Jiang Xunmo's face when they met in the living room just now: "I thought you knew."

Jiang Xunmo shook his head: "My brother didn't tell me when he came to call me today."

Ye Chaoran smiled and said, "So you are surprised to see me?"

Jiang Xunmo nodded.

More than just surprised, he was very nervous!

Ye Chaoran was wearing a cream-white suit today. The well-tailored suit made his tall figure look even more handsome.

Noticing Jiang Xunmo's eyes on her dress, Ye Zhaoran said a little embarrassedly: "My grandma helped me pick it out. She said it suits me well."

Jiang Xunmo nodded in agreement: "It's a good match, very handsome and good-looking."

After that, he looked at his dress again and said softly, "So I picked out a black outfit."

Ye Chaoran felt the heat that had just dissipated from his face starting to move toward his face again. He turned his face away, feeling that he could no longer be alone with Jiang Xunmo.

It was at this time that Xia Wen called.

The other guests have almost arrived and their lunch party is about to begin.

"Let's go downstairs to eat." Jiang Xunmo said.

Ye Chaoran breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and followed Jiang Xunmo downstairs.

There were many people coming to the luncheon, so the Jiang family divided it into three halls.

Ye Chaoran was a little nervous before going downstairs, but after coming down, he found that no one mentioned what happened just now, and Ye Chaoran quickly relaxed.

The Ye family and the Jiang family have the best relationship, so they all sit in the main hall. Ye Chaoran's seat was right next to Tan Zheng, and Jiang Xunmo sat down with Ye Chaoran.

Just after they sat down for a while, Xia Wen asked Jiang Xunmo to accompany them to toast.

"I'll be over for a while." Jiang Xunmo stood there and said softly to Ye Chaoran.

In front of so many people, Ye Chaoran didn't dare to look at him, but just nodded.

After Jiang Xunmo left, Tan Zheng couldn't help but say, "Of course."

"Hmm?" Ye Chaoran turned his head to look at Tan Zheng.

Tan Zheng sighed and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Ranran, we just--"

Ye Zong interrupted: "It's our fault, don't be angry with grandpa and grandma!"

Ye Chaoran said quickly: "How could that be? I'm not angry, I just..."

A little shy.

Hearing that Ye Chaoran was not angry, Tan Zheng and Ye Zong both breathed a sigh of relief.

Just don’t be angry, just don’t be angry!

They only have this one precious grandson!

Seeing Ye Chaoran was shy again, Tan Zheng quickly said, "Okay, as long as you're not angry, then let's not talk about it!"

"Don't mention it anymore!" Ye Zong said.

Ye Chaoran had to mention this matter, and he nodded quickly.

This matter has been exposed.

On the other side, Jiang Xunmo saw Chen Ying in the side hall.

As soon as he appeared, Chen Ying stood up and waved to Jiang Xunmo with a smile.

Jiang Xunmo frowned quickly and looked at Xia Wen beside him.

Xia Wen immediately understood what Jiang Xunmo meant and patted him on the back soothingly: "Don't worry, I will explain it to Mr. Chen later."

The dissatisfaction on Jiang Xunmo's face finally lessened.

The guests who attended the luncheon were all familiar with the Jiang family. Jiang Xunmo accompanied Xia Wen and Jiang Jun for a tour. When they arrived at the Chen family, before Jiang Jun opened his mouth, Chen Ying said, "I haven't seen Brother Mo for so long. He looks much more handsome!"

Jiang Xunmo had a cold face and no expression.

Xia Wen put her arm around Jiang Xunmo's shoulders and said with a smile, "It can't be helped. This is how children who are nourished by love are!" Then she looked at Chen Ying, "Xiaoying, don't learn from him!"

Chen Ying's smile disappeared when she heard this. She did not hide the shock in her eyes: "Brother Mo is in love?"

Old Master Chen knew that his granddaughter liked Jiang Xunmo, so he asked, "Whose child is this?"

Jiang Jun smiled: "From the Ye family."

Mr. Chen was a little surprised.

Apart from Ye Zong, who else could be the Ye family in City A?

But didn’t it say that Ye Pei ran away from home and had no relationship with the Ye family anymore? Where did a child pop out from now?

The other guests were also a little shocked. Of course, they had seen Ye Zong and Tan Zheng when they just came in, but they had not seen the children beside them.

Xia Wen explained, "Ranran and Xiao Jiang were upstairs just now, so no one saw them. They will be able to see them soon!" She covered her mouth with a smile, "To be honest, we are very satisfied with this child. We just talked about engagement with Uncle Ye and the others."

Everyone understood.

Someone couldn't help laughing and asked, "Getting engaged at such a young age?"

"He's not young anymore. Xiao Jiang will be eighteen today. It would be better to settle the matter sooner rather than later." Another person answered.

The others started laughing.

Jiang Xunmo pursed his lips, and his hand holding the cup couldn't help but tighten slightly.

They are actually talking about engagement...

One of the elders asked, "How did Xiao Jiang get to know them?"

Jiang Xunmo finally spoke: "We are classmates."

Others all sighed: "Hello, classmates!"

“Student romance is so beautiful!”

Seeing that more and more people were talking about this topic, Xia Wen spoke up at the right time, brought the topic to Jiang Xunmo's birthday, and toasted everyone with a glass of wine.

When the Jiang family left this table to toast at another table, Mr. Chen couldn't help but sigh, patted his granddaughter on the back, and whispered to comfort her: "Okay, now that Xiao Jiang has someone to marry, you don't have to worry about him anymore."

Their family is indeed not as good as the Ye family, so it is normal for the Jiang family to choose to marry into the Ye family.

I just don’t know whether this child of the Ye family who suddenly appeared is the Ye family’s biological child.

After all, everyone in the business circle of City A knows that the reason why Ye Zong kicked Ye Pei out was because Ye Pei’s wife was pregnant.

After hearing Mr. Chen's consolation, Chen Ying felt even more upset. She looked somewhat unwilling, but she could only temporarily suppress the jealousy and anger in her heart. If the timing wasn't inappropriate, she would have long been tempted to run to the main hall to take a look.

The author has something to say:

Here we come!
