Ye Xingchang was eager to know what the future society would be like, and whether it would be a time of peace and prosperity for the country.
But he knew that heavenly secrets should not be revealed, and if he knew too much, things might change.
After all, the butterfly effect is a real phenomenon.
Old Master Ye knew his limits; he didn't pry into Xie Yuyao's secrets, but instead tried to understand her character and conduct from various perspectives.
Xie Yuyao's secret was too outrageous, and even Old Master Ye feared she might be exploited and led astray. Finally, he mentioned the rampant activity of enemy agents and wondered if they should hire someone to secretly protect her.
"Thank you, but no need. I can protect myself," Xie Yuyao said with a smile, declining the offer.
She doesn't want to have a little tail following her.
"Then please be careful and contact us anytime if anything happens."
Having said that, Grandpa Ye had already praised Xie Yuyao highly and could see that she was working hard to contribute to humanity, so there was no need to explore further.
The lunch was a great success for both host and guests. When they were leaving, Grandpa Ye offered to ask Xie Yuyao for help in recuperating his health.
Xie Yuyao, however, knew that her medical knowledge was limited, so the final solution was that Grandpa Ye would ask a group of doctors, led by Dr. Shen, to use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate his body, and she would visit him when she had time.
Soon after, she learned of Ye Xingchang's prescription and asked him to gather all the ingredients so that she could brew the medicine in her space using spiritual spring water.
Whenever she had free time, she would go to the Ye family and secretly change the herbal decoction.
In order to make the soup in the morning, she stayed overnight since she didn't have any filming scheduled for the night.
With the cooperation of Grandpa Ye and Ye Xingchang, she always succeeded. Ye's parents, unaware of the situation, mistakenly believed that Ye Xingchang was dating Xie Yuyao.
After being repeatedly rejected by her son, she stopped thinking about it. She just assumed that she had caught the old man's eye and that he was happy.
With Xie Yuyao frequently visiting the Ye family, it was hard not to cause misunderstandings.
Grandpa Ye simply recognized Xie Yuyao as his goddaughter and even held a banquet to inform his relatives and friends.
Having spent some time with Old Master Ye, Xie Yuyao felt his sincere care and, given her good relationship with the Ye family, readily agreed.
Yao Qian never expected that Xie Yuyao would not become the object of the third young master of the Ye family, but instead win over the old master of the Ye family and become his goddaughter. This unexpected turn of events caught her off guard.
She didn't understand why Xie Yuyao could be regarded differently by Commander Ye, who held a high position. Was it just because she was good-looking?
This idea was immediately rejected; she could slander others, but she dared not slander Commander Ye.
However, this meant that all her revenge plans had to be put on hold, and she had to think of other ways.

As the days passed, Xie Yuyao's scenes were nearing their end. Just then, she received a call from Zhao Honghui, who was finally coming to Beijing!
A few days later at dawn, at the Beijing Railway Station.
Xie Yuyao stood at the exit, eagerly anticipating the arrival. Dressed in a flowing white dress, she moved gracefully like a fairy, her figure elegant and charming, attracting the attention of many people waiting to greet her.
As soon as the train doors opened at the station, Zhao Honghui strode towards the exit, knowing that Yao Yao was there, waiting for his return.
Before he even left the train station, he saw Xie Yuyao standing next to the exit.
After so long, she had become even more radiant and stunning than before. Her every glance exuded an air of refined elegance. This was the girl he had dreamt of, the girl he would never forget until his death!
Xie Yuyao also saw him in the crowd and was instantly stunned.
He, who was once handsome and dashing, has now become as thin as a bamboo pole, but the deep affection flowing in his eyes is even more profound than before.
How much suffering did he endure in places she couldn't see?
Thinking of this, Xie Yuyao burst into tears.
"Yaoyao, I'm back." Zhao Honghui reached out to wipe away her tears, his heart filled with tenderness.
But when Xie Yuyao saw his weathered hands, she cried even harder.
Zhao Honghui panicked and hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry, Yao Yao, I'm late."
"Waaaaah...you bastard..." Xie Yuyao sobbed uncontrollably.
"Yes, it's my fault."
"I miss you."
"Me too, working day and night."
"..."
Long-separated lovers embrace tightly in a corner of the train station. The emptiness in their hearts is finally filled, and they find their whole selves again.
Many passersby stopped and turned around, pointing and whispering, both admiring the couple's passionate love and feeling that embracing in public was indecent.
But Xie Yuyao and the others had no time to care about other people's opinions. Their eyes and hearts were only on each other, feeling the warmth from each other, confirming again and again that this was real, not a dream.
After a long while, Zhao Honghui finally let go of Yao Yao, changed his hug to holding her hand, and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to stay first."
As soon as Zhao Honghui stepped out of the train station, he saw Ye Xingchang leaning against the jeep.
Ye Xingchang also saw him, stepped forward and patted Zhao Honghui's shoulder twice, his eyes filled with tenderness, "Brother, welcome back!"
Zhao Honghui grinned, and the two bumped fists together, everything understood without a word.
After getting on the bus, Ye Xingchang offered Zhao Honghui a place to stay at his home, but Zhao Honghui refused.
Ye Xingchang's family is large, and he didn't want to bother them.
"Don't worry, Yao Yao lives there too."
Zhao Honghui was stunned upon hearing this and looked at Xie Yuyao with a puzzled expression.
Xie Yuyao chuckled, "I haven't had a chance to tell you yet that the old man has recognized me as his goddaughter, so I'm practically a member of the Ye family now."
"What's going on?" Zhao Honghui never expected that Yao Yao had another identity: she was also Commander Ye's goddaughter. This was a level of importance that ordinary people could not imagine.
Xie Yuyao then told him about how she had been treating the old man's health.
Ye Xingchang said, "I asked Yao Yao to help. At that time, I just couldn't help myself."
"I didn't know the old man's illness was so serious. How is he now? Is he feeling better?" Zhao Honghui showed no displeasure, as long as Yao Yao was willing.
Moreover, as a military leader, Mr. Ye has spent decades defending the country and has suffered many injuries. It would be wonderful if he could heal his old wounds and enjoy his later years in peace.
"With Yao Yao's help, his health is improving day by day. Given time, he will surely be able to recover from his injuries." Ye Xingchang had personally experienced Xie Yuyao's abilities and had 100% confidence in her.
Zhao Honghui smiled and asked the question he was most concerned about: "How much does the old man know?"
“He doesn’t know much, but he has made it clear that he will keep the secret and will not force Yao Yao to do anything she doesn’t want to do,” Ye Xingchang said.
"Don't worry." Xie Yuyao held Zhao Honghui's hand, which had distinct knuckles and thick calluses. "But you, you've lost so much weight, you need to take good care of yourself."
Ye Xingchang joked, "Yeah! If things don't go back to the way they were before, I won't acknowledge you as my brother-in-law."
Hehehe...
