If it really comes to that, she must also be clear about her strengths and weaknesses.

After figuring this out, she passed the message to Chen Simin and asked her to find someone to investigate the relevant information about Yexingzhou.

Two days later, the person who was searching gave an answer, but it was not satisfactory.

After all the calculations, the result is that Ye Xingzhou has only one identity now: the aide of King Qi.

Looking at the news that came back, Jiang Xueying thought for a long time. The people around the royal family are indeed people who cannot be offended.

But if her bottom line is really crossed, she is not immune to taking action.

However, her intuition told her that this man would not be so simple.

"It seems that there is only a long way to go."

A few days passed quickly, and after finishing his official duties, Ye Xingzhou came to the gate of Jiang Xueying's house again.

Thinking of the predicament he had faced a few days ago, he looked at the tightly closed door and felt a little strange in his heart.

However, before he could think of anything, the door was pushed open and two small figures walked out.

When they saw Yexingzhou, their eyes lit up.

"father!"

"father!"

Hearing this, Ye Xingzhou's frown relaxed, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he responded.

"Dad, come in quickly."

Ye Xiaoyu walked over, took his hand and walked into the house, while Ye Xiaojin beside him also held his other hand.

When he entered the inner room, Ye Xingzhou realized that Jiang Xueying was not there again.

Thinking of the last time she left the two children in the house, a trace of dissatisfaction rose in his heart, and he said in a deep voice: "Did your mother just leave you at home like this?"

Ye Xiaoyu, who was always very sensitive to emotions, immediately noticed his unhappiness and explained, "Dad, it's not what you think."

"Mother went to work in the restaurant. She brought us here alone, wanting us to live a good life. It was very hard."

"Yes, yes, mother is very tired, but she will still come back every day to make delicious food for us."

Ye Xiaojin also echoed.

"Yeah?"

Ye Xingzhou murmured, and the thought just now disappeared, replaced by a feeling of guilt.

Indeed, it is not easy to gain a foothold in Kyoto, let alone for a woman with two children.

"Yes, Dad, Mom is no longer the same person she used to be. She is very kind to Xiaojin and me now."

Ye Xiaoyu nodded and seemed to be afraid that he didn't believe it, her beautiful big eyes widened.

Ye Xingzhou looked at her, then looked at Ye Xiaojin beside him, and said softly, "Well, Dad knows."

"It's good that Dad knows."

Ye Xiaoyu raised her chin and continued, "But these are all things of the past. Now that Dad has found us, we shouldn't let Mom suffer so much."

"Sister is right."

"Are you two on your mother's side now?"

"Of course. Dad abandoned us before. If it weren't for Mom, we might not have seen you."

"......"

Although the child only blurted out the remark casually, it really hurt Ye Xingzhou's heart. He also knew how unfair it was to the two children when he left.

It's just that he had no choice.

"sorry."

He bent down and hugged the two children into his arms, whispering.

Jiang Xueying saw this scene when she came back. She couldn't help but tighten her hands holding a basket of vegetables, and after a while she coughed softly.

"Mom, you're back."

Hearing the voice, Ye Xiaojin looked up at her and shouted happily.

"Um."

Jiang Xueying smiled at him.

Ye Xingzhou also let go of them, turned around and looked at her. Their eyes met and then quickly looked away.

"Mom, is this what you're going to cook today?"

Ye Xiaojin, who has always loved eating, ran to her side and looked at the various dishes in the basket with a happy face.

Jiang Xueying squatted down, pinched his little face with one hand, and said, "Yes, these are all Xiaojin's favorites. Are you happy?"

"Happy! Daddy also likes what Jin'er likes to eat, so Daddy should be happy too."

Jiang Xueying was stunned by these words. She had no intention of inviting Ye Xingzhou to dinner. However, seeing the hopeful eyes of the two children, she did not say no. She touched his head and said, "Well, wait for me outside."

"Uh-huh."

Half an hour later, Jiang Xueying brought several dishes to the table. Looking at the two children and one adult sitting around the table, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she did not show it on her face.

"It's time to start."

"Okay!"

As Jiang Xueying finished her words, the two children hurriedly began to pick up their favorite dishes and ate them with great relish.

Just now, Ye Xingzhou heard the two children praising Jiang Xueying's cooking for being so delicious. He didn't take it too seriously at first. After all, he had eaten at many royal banquets and naturally didn't take food too seriously.

But when he saw the bowls of delicious dishes being served, he was still a little surprised.

This feeling reached its peak when he tasted one of the dishes. The chopsticks that were about to be put down picked up other dishes and tasted them one by one.

"Haha, Dad, do you think Mom's cooking is delicious too?"

"Well, it's indeed a superb cooking skill."

Ye Xingzhou said this and looked at the woman opposite him, but she didn't even look at him, but just quietly picked up food for the two children.

He felt a little helpless at being treated so coldly, but he suddenly understood her feelings.

"Then why don't you move back and live with us, so we can eat mom's cooking every day."

“Ahem—”

Jiang Xueying really didn't expect that these two little ghosts would have such an idea. After choking twice, she said with a serious expression: "You two forgot what I said, don't talk about life while eating."

"oh."

Seeing that the two of them had calmed down, Jiang Xueying was about to pick up the kettle next to her to pour water, but she touched the back of Ye Xingzhou's hand as he picked up the kettle. The moment their skin touched, she quickly withdrew her hand.

Ye Xingzhou was also stunned, then he coughed lightly and said, "Shall I pour it for you?"

"Thanks."

In short, Jiang Xueying felt extremely uncomfortable during this meal, and this feeling only disappeared after she sent Ye Xingzhou away.

The next day, she told Chen Simin about these things, and the latter was also somewhat emotional.

"Sister Jiang, I really didn't expect their father could actually find you."

"But from what you said, it seems that these two children still want their father to come back to them."

"Blood is thicker than water, after all."

Jiang Xueying sighed softly and said that blood ties were really something that was hard to give up, not to mention that the two children followed her in order to find Yehang Island.
