Yun Xiao didn't know if Han Yiyi would come back, but he wanted to stay here and guard her. He thought that even if she didn't come back, at least there would still be traces of her life here.
That's why she was so excited to suddenly see Han Yiyi appear.
Half an hour later, Han Yiyi looked at Yun Xiao, who had regained his refined and handsome appearance, and said with a smile.
"Hmm, not bad, Young Master Yun, you look more pleasing to the eye this way. But why are you in my house...?"
Han Yiyi had no idea that the two people who came with Fan Ting were sent by the old lady of the Yun family, nor did she know that since learning of her disappearance, the people in front of her had been searching for her all over the world.
When Yun Xiao heard Han Yiyi ask this question, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and bowed deeply to Han Yiyi before speaking.
"Yi-yi, I'm sorry, it's all my fault that you've been dragged into this..."
Upon hearing Yun Xiao's words, Han Yiyi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Han Yiyi had been wondering who had helped Fan Ting behind the scenes, and she never expected it to be the Yun family.
Looking at the person in front of her, whose face was full of guilt and somewhat evasive, Han Yiyi could roughly guess the reason.
Thinking that Old Madam Nangong had made her a secondary wife, she realized that the Yun family was actually trying to kill her and her two children.
Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed across Han Yi's eyes.
"If that's the case, what is Young Master Yun still doing at my house? Do you want your Yun family to arrest me again? If you do it again, I don't think I'll be so lucky to come back alive..."
Upon hearing Han Yiyi's words, a hint of sadness flashed in Yun Xiao's eyes, and he quickly spoke up.
"No, I'm here. I won't let them hurt you even a little bit more..."
Hearing Yun Xiao's words, Han Yiyi wanted to say, "No, you'll be safer without me," but looking at the person in front of her who was obviously thinner than before, Han Yiyi swallowed back the words she was about to say.
After safely delivering the person, Ye Yi was about to return to Kyoto. However, before leaving, his gaze towards Yun Xiao was full of warning, the meaning of which was very clear: stay away from my general's wife.
When Yun Xiao saw the look Ye Yi gave him, he rolled his eyes and turned to walk towards the kitchen where Han Yi was, deliberately speaking loudly.
"Yi-yi, let me help you start the fire. I've learned how to start a fire and cook these days..."
When Ye Yi saw Yun Xiao, who not only ignored the warning but also acted shamelessly, he couldn't help but worry about General Lai.
People often say that a good woman is afraid of a persistent man. Looking at the guy in front of her, Ye Yi was really worried that before he could finish dealing with his general's affairs, someone else would steal him away.
Han Yiyi was planning to make a dish and have Ye Yi bring it to the two little ones. Of course, Han Yiyi knew that the General's Mansion had no shortage of food, but she still wanted to make something.
It was already June, and the weather was getting warmer. Han Yi was worried that dried meat and other such things would spoil, so she decided to make some baiji buns. That way, whenever they wanted to eat them, they could simply bake them.
Han Yiyi had just finished kneading the dough when Yun Xiao walked in with a fawning expression. Seeing his demeanor, Han Yiyi thought to herself, "Free labor, might as well use it," and so she spoke up.
"Okay, then you can help me start a fire..."
Ye Yi left, but the worry in his eyes was almost overflowing.
Han Yi didn't notice Ye Yi's gaze, but instead asked him to tell the two children to listen to their father and great-grandfather.
Yun Xiao, who was standing to the side, noticed Ye Yi's gaze and deliberately moved closer to Han Yi. But the next moment, when he heard Han Yi say that the two children should listen to their father and great-grandfather, he was stunned and subconsciously asked.
“What did you say? Who is their great-grandfather? Who is their father…”
Yun Xiao had been focused on Han Yiyi, and only now did he realize that the two children hadn't returned together. Hearing Han Yiyi telling the two children to listen to their father, he was somewhat bewildered.
What does this mean? The father of the two children is that useless Fan Ting, isn't he? Besides, they've already severed ties, so where did this father come from? Thinking of this, Yun Xiao looked at Han Yiyi in disbelief, thinking to himself, could it be that Han Yiyi has already married that "idiot" Nangong Yuan...?
"That's right, Young Master Cheng and Miss Hui are our General's own children..."
At this moment, Ye Yi truly felt that it was the right thing to have secretly sent Han Yiyi to Nangong Yuan's bed back then.
When Han Yi saw Yun Xiao looking at her in astonishment, she knew he must have misunderstood. But before she could speak, she heard Ye Yi's somewhat excited words.
Seeing Yun Xiao's bewildered and hurt expression, Ye Yi seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief. He turned around, cracked his whip, and left gracefully, leaving Yun Xiao looking at Han Yi with a hurt and aggrieved expression.
"What on earth is going on? Isn't the child Fan Ting's, that good-for-nothing? How did it become that idiot's child...?"
Seeing Yun Xiao's wounded, wife-like expression, Han Yiyi was speechless. She thought to herself, "Could this guy have caught the same look from Manager Tong? He's looking at me with that same expression too." Nevertheless, she still spoke up about what had happened earlier.
Hearing Han Yiyi's story, Yun Xiao felt it was melodramatic. However, as long as Han Yiyi didn't marry that "fool," he still had a chance.
"You've run away from home. What about the contract you signed for buying chili peppers...?"
Yun Xiao was still thinking about what other way he could win Han Yiyi's heart when he heard Han Yiyi's words and hurriedly replied.
"Don't worry about the chili peppers. Everything will remain the same. I'll take as many as you have..."
However, Han Yiyi did not see the slight unnaturalness that flashed in Yun Xiao's eyes when he mentioned chili peppers. There were so many chili peppers that the Yunlai Restaurant in Ping'an Town could not possibly finish them all. They must have to be transported to other restaurants, which would expose her whereabouts.
In fact, Yun Xiao was unaware of the situation; his whereabouts had long been exposed, but Old Madam Yun had been waiting for him to return to the capital on his own.
Madam Yun naturally knew her grandson's stubborn temper, but she didn't believe that he would give up his status as the eldest son of the Yun family for a woman, especially a woman who was already dead.
The two were discussing when to go collect the chili peppers when they heard a knock on the door.
Watching Yun Xiao rush to open the door as if he were the master of the house, Han Yiyi's eyes held a somewhat obscure light.
As soon as the door was opened, Han Yiyi heard Aunt Zhang's familiar voice.
