Jian Yixue never expected that her second uncle would hold such an important place in the old man's heart.

Ye Mohan, who was standing to the side, was not surprised by what he saw.

From the time his grandfather repeatedly pleaded with him on behalf of Ye Wenyao, hoping to save Ye Wenyao's life no matter what, he knew that his grandfather still had deep feelings for Ye Wenyao.

"If you don't wake up soon, your good son will be dead. I'll have Lin Yi arrest him in a bit, teach him a lesson, and send him to prison while he's still alive. With his tainted background, making sure he spends his next life in jail is a piece of cake for me!"

Ye Mohan looked at the old man on the bed and said indifferently.

Perhaps Ye Mohan's words had an effect, because Jian Yixue saw the old man on the hospital bed struggling with his brows and eyes, sometimes frowning and sometimes showing signs of his eyelids loosening slightly.

It seems that he is struggling subconsciously, trying to come to his senses.

Jian Yixue's eyes widened with delight, her gaze fixed on the old man.

Seeing this, Ye Mohan, who was standing to the side, also stared intently at the old man.

After an unknown amount of time, the old man on the hospital bed opened his eyes, looked around groggily, and asked, "I'm not dead yet?"

The old man was very clear about his health.

He originally thought he was going to die this time, but when he saw Jian Yixue and Ye Mohan in front of him, the old man was a little confused and then asked.

Hearing this, Ye Mohan snorted coldly and said, "You haven't even paid off your debts, and you want to end it all with death? Don't even dream about it!"

Seeing that the old man had regained consciousness and hearing his question, Ye Mohan felt a little annoyed and retorted irritably.

Upon hearing Ye Mohan's words, Jian Yixue frowned, turned her head, and gave Ye Mohan a disapproving look, signaling him not to provoke the old man any further.

Ye Mohan naturally saw Jian Yixue's warning, and then turned to look to the side.

Seeing this, Jian Yixue turned to look at the old man, a knowing smile on her face, and said softly, "Grandpa, don't talk nonsense. You can live to be a hundred years old. Mo Han and I are waiting for you to take care of our baby in the future."

She spoke too quickly, and as soon as she finished, Jian Yixue realized she had dug a hole for herself.

It was all Ye Mohan's fault for disturbing her thoughts. Originally, she only wanted to comfort the old man, but she was afraid that he would be saddened by Ye Mohan's words.

As a result, his mind couldn't keep up with his mouth, and he blurted out what was on his mind.

Jian Yixue felt a little embarrassed and wanted to find a gap to squeeze herself in.

Upon hearing this, the old man's kind smile spread across his aged, wrinkled face.

Regarding Ye Mohan's attitude, after more than twenty years of grandfather-grandson relationship, the old man knew Ye Mohan's cold exterior but warm heart and had long been used to his behavior.

The old man naturally didn't take Ye Mohan's words to heart.

However, thinking about the reasons behind all of this, the old man still felt a little disappointed.

He couldn't believe that Ye Wenyao wouldn't know he had collapsed in the hotel.

He had sent people to inquire about Wenyao's affairs abroad over the years. He knew that Wenyao was doing well, which was why he didn't regret his decision six years ago as much.

It was only during this meeting that he truly realized how ambitious he was.

Even when he was about to die, he still couldn't forgive and forget...

Jian Yixue's words greatly soothed the old man's grief.

New life has always symbolized hope.

The old man was overjoyed. Ever since Jian Yixue married into the Ye family, he had longed for the appearance of his great-granddaughter countless times.

Since the unfortunate passing of their eldest son and daughter-in-law twenty years ago, the Ye family has had no happy events or new additions to the family for many years.

The old man had been eagerly anticipating Jian Yixue's birth of the Ye family's eldest great-grandson, hoping that the Ye family would continue its lineage.

While we're at it, let's wash away the darkness that has plagued the Ye family for so many years and add some new life and popularity.

These are just his thoughts. To a large extent, he still hopes that the young couple can confirm each other's feelings before deciding to have a child.

He was the one who arranged this marriage. Originally, he had seen his grandson, who was getting on in years, dedicate himself to his work and had no intention of finding a partner.

He was anxious. He didn't know how much longer he could live, or how much longer he could stay by Ye Mohan's side.

If he were to pass away, he would be left all alone, and the thought of it made the old man feel extremely sad.

Just as he was feeling troubled, he suddenly remembered that many years ago he had made a verbal engagement with a legendary woman—Jane Yixue's mother.

So he sent someone to inquire.

After learning everything about Jian Yixue, he was filled with rage.

She never imagined that her daughter would live such a miserable life after the death of her close friend.

However, he also knew that he had no right to criticize Jian Mingpeng at this moment. After all, this was a family matter, and it was not appropriate for an outsider like him to interfere.

However, at that moment, he decided to have his grandson take good care of his friend's daughter.

At that time, he used the Ye family as leverage to force his grandson, Ye Mohan, to agree to the marriage.

As someone who has experienced free love, the old man knows very well that if two people don't really click and don't build a solid emotional foundation, it's hard for them to go the distance.

So even though the old man longed to have a great-grandchild after they got married, he never urged the couple to do so.

When Jian Yixue brought this up, the old man was overjoyed.

Now, according to his observation, the two are very close, and having a child at this time would be the icing on the cake.

The old man looked at Jian Yixue, who was shyly bowing her head slightly, and didn't say anything. He then looked up at Ye Mohan beside him.

Just then, Ye Mohan was also looking at Jian Yixue, his eyes filled with tender affection.

He had originally turned away after receiving a warning from Jian Yixue, fearing he might lose control.

Suddenly hearing Jian Yixue's words, Xiao felt a warmth in his heart and couldn't help but turn to look at his little woman.

Now he also longs to have a child with his love.

In the past, he would never have even thought about women or marriage.

He realized that his position was fraught with instability and didn't want to have a weakness that others could exploit.

Now, having met Jian Yixue, his heart is now completely captivated, and he is no longer afraid of anything!

He couldn't bear to let Jian Yixue know about those dangers, and anything that was detrimental to Jian Yixue and their married life would be nipped in the bud.

The old man looked at Ye Mohan and at the way he looked at Jian Yixue, and felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

This marriage was definitely the right choice!

At least for now, the young couple has a harmonious relationship and is very happy.
