Lin Xiuyan missed him in her past life, but fortunately, she can finally be with him in this life.
Yu Zhan, standing outside, chuckled softly upon hearing the commotion inside.
She has made great contributions with her troops this time, and is now the rightful Grand General of Liefeng Prefecture.
She came over tonight because she heard that Lin Xiuyan had fainted due to pregnancy, but it seems that Lin Xiuyan is fine now.
She recalled her pregnancy years ago. Unlike Lin Xiuyan, she wasn't lucky back then; that man still doesn't know about Xiao Bao's existence.
While Yu Zhan wasn't completely heartbroken about love, she no longer possessed the girlish sentiments she once had.
She envied Lin Xiuyan, thinking that in the whole world, only Lin Xiuyan could tame Ye Junfei, and the two of them were a perfect match.
She placed the prepared gift outside the new house and turned to leave.
As soon as she left, Ye Qingwan came out from the side room.
Ye Qingwan originally wanted to come in and see Lin Xiuyan. She arrived earlier than Yu Zhan and was in a side room, so Yu Zhan didn't see her.
She overheard their conversation at the door and decided she didn't need to go in.
She and Ye Junfei both suffered a lot from a young age, growing up surrounded by wolves, but Ye Junfei's situation was much more difficult than hers.
When she was little, her wish was for her brother to live. As she grew older, she hoped that her brother could return safely to the Prince of Pingnan's mansion.
Therefore, she has always been working hard to grow, and once she had the ability, she has always done her best to help him:
She would find a way to send the money she earned to Ye Junfei in the capital so that he could use it to smooth things over with various people.
She was overjoyed when she learned that he would be returning to Liefeng Prefecture.
Because she knew that only if he returned alive could she live like a human being in the Prince of Pingnan's mansion.
The siblings lost their mother at a young age, and their father was unkind; they truly depended on each other for survival.
Therefore, she knows all too well what it feels like to have another person love you in this world, and she is more grateful than anyone else that Ye Junfei married Lin Xiuyan.
This woman, who was not of noble birth, had the gentlest heart in the world and soothed the wounds in Ye Junfei's heart.
Now that they have their own child, Ye Qingwan is genuinely happy for them.
After she went outside, she sniffed and prepared to go back to her room, but as she turned the corner, she saw Fan Xilou standing there.
Fan Xilou went out to do business some time ago, and she hasn't seen him for a while.
When she saw him, she smiled and asked, "When did you get back?"
Fan Xilou replied, "I came back in the afternoon."
Ye Qingwan saw that he was wearing a moon-white robe, with a dark belt around his waist, and his black hair was tied up. He looked as gentle and refined as jade.
The moment she saw him, she couldn't help but tease him: "You've been away for so long, have you missed me?"
If it were in the past, Fan Xilou would have blushed and lowered his head, not daring to look at her.
But today, Fan Xilou only blushed and looked at her with gentle eyes, saying, "I want to, I really want to."
Ye Qingwan was somewhat surprised to hear this. It was unbelievable that Fan Xilou, who was usually very shy, would say such a thing.
She covered her lips slightly and asked, "How much do you want to?"
Before Fan Xilou could answer, she asked again, "Have you thought about not being able to sleep?"
Fan Xilou's ears turned red this time, but he still didn't lower his head to avoid her gaze like before, and even nodded solemnly.
Ye Qingwan was somewhat surprised by his reaction and strongly suspected that something had happened to him outside and he had been provoked.
Just as she was about to speak, Fan Xilou handed her a box that was about two feet square and said, "This is for you."
"What is it?" Ye Qingwan asked curiously.
Fan Xilou replied, "You'll know once you open it and take a look."
Ye Qingwan glanced at him, took the box, and opened it. The top of the box was filled with silver notes worth one thousand taels each, numbering over a hundred.
Below the silver notes were piles of various precious stones and large pearls.
Even though Ye Qingwan was well-informed, she was still quite startled when she saw these things.
Because she knew perfectly well that the value of these gems was far greater than that of these silver notes.
She asked in shock, "Where did these things come from?"
“It’s what I earned from this business trip,” Fan Xilou replied.
Ye Qingwan was stunned. She usually managed the business left by her mother and was very knowledgeable about doing business.
Back then, it took her more than half a year to raise 10,000 taels of silver for Ye Junfei.
But he only went out for one trip and actually earned more than 200,000 taels of silver. That's too scary!
She couldn't help but ask, "How did you earn it?"
Fan Xilou replied, "That's how I make money."
Ye Qingwan: "..."
What kind of crazy answer is this?!
Fan Xilou looked at her and said, "I once told you that when I felt my abilities were a match for yours, and you were still unmarried, I would come to ask you for your hand in marriage."
"Although these things are external possessions, I feel they should also be a symbol of ability, so I've come today to fulfill my promise."
Ye Qingwan: "!!!!!!!"
At this point, she finally understood why Fan Xilou had wanted her to see what was in the box.
She knew he was good at business, but she didn't know he had such a talent for it!
His ability is something that ordinary people do not possess.
She liked seeing him blush, so she would always tease him.
As for marrying him, she hadn't really thought much about it.
He came over carrying this box of things, presumably to propose to her.
