Chapter 75 What a dream! It’s so nice.

“Bang!”

"You bastard!" Grandpa Chi slammed the table heavily, his neck flushed and he was about to get angry, but Grandma Chi held him down and scolded him, "Be quiet, you scared the child."

Motioned for him to look at Ye Man.

Sure enough, Ye Man was startled by the sudden sound. Xu Huaiting was rubbing his shoulders, lowering his head and comforting him softly. Ye Man curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled at him, shaking his head to indicate that everything was fine.

Grandpa Chi held back his voice. Grandma Chi comforted him softly, "Xiao Man, don't be afraid. Grandpa is not angry with you. He is angry with what Ye Guowen did."

Ye Man quietly reached for Xu Huaiting's hand and held it in her palm. She felt much more at ease and replied calmly, "I'm fine."

Qin Fangrui pressed her chest and asked Chi Yan to bring her a handbag, and took out the medicine from it. Chi Yan handed her some water, and after taking the medicine, Qin Fangrui felt better.

"He must pay the price." She looked at Ye Man, her eyes reddened again, the piercing pain made her unable to breathe.

I couldn't even bring myself to ask him why he refused to talk about such an important matter.

Ye Man took it for granted that it was his own business and he could only solve all the problems by himself.

Qin Fangrui suddenly realized one thing:

The lost children will never come back.

Even if he returned to the Chi family, his soul had already been shaped by the past and his heart was trapped in the past. After he broke free from the past, he still would not stay in the Chi family.

Only chicks need the nest built by their parents as a safe haven; fledged birds will fly to a wider world to chase the wind and rain, chase the thunder and lightning.

The world outside is much bigger than home. He wants to embrace a more grand and splendid world, to have more friends who love him, to have his own lover and his own home. He will have his own ideals, his own aspirations, and things to pursue. Those people and things will gradually fill his entire world. Among these many things, the home of his childhood is no longer a necessity.

They will still be family.

Time and love will forge an increasingly stable path between them, but this home that only appeared after he became an adult can no longer be his home.

He doesn't need this anymore.

He will be the Chi family's child, but he will no longer be his father and mother's child.

Qin Fangrui suddenly covered her face and burst into tears.

Chi Yan patted his mother's back. Chi Jue's eyes were completely red. He moved his mouth and looked at Ye Man, but he couldn't say a word.

Ye Man heard the crying and didn't know what to say. He felt a little confused.

It seems that the Chi family will not have any opinion towards him because of this incident, which is certainly a good thing. Then he really has nothing else to do. As long as he doesn't cause trouble again, he will really not die, right?

He pulled Xu Huaiting madly, wanting him to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Chi Yanrong took out his phone and said in a deep voice, "I'll ask someone to find Ye Guowen right now. There's no way this matter can be let go like this!"

Xu Huaiting: "My people have been keeping an eye on him. I'll handle this matter." He looked at Chi Jue: "Second Master Chi, do you have any objections?"

Chi Jue smiled bitterly and was about to speak when his cell phone rang.

He looked down and his expression froze.

After staring at the message several times, Chi Jue raised his head and said to everyone, "It's Ye Guowen. He said he wants to meet me."

Later, Ye Guowen came to the company to look for Chi Jue again. Chi Jue asked someone to give him his mobile phone number, but the phone number he left last time was no longer reachable. Now he sent a message saying that he wanted to meet him, otherwise he would make public a scandal about Chi's son. Chi Jue guessed that it must be the thing he just mentioned, so he deliberately omitted the second half when he mentioned it.

Ye Man knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.

He almost jumped up in anger: "He must be asking you for money! You are not allowed to give it to him! He failed to blackmail the Lu family, so he turned around and came to you!"

Chi Jue: "I won't give it to you, Xiaoman, don't worry!"

Xu Huaiting: "The blackmailing of the Lu family you mentioned is the thing you two were talking about about the little girl who left earlier?"

Although Xu Huaiting had people keep an eye on Ye Guowen, he was only preventing him from getting close to and harming Ye Man, not keeping a close eye on him. As long as that person didn't hang around in front of Ye Man, he didn't want to care what that person did, and he didn't know much about the Lu family.

Ye Man nodded, and suddenly remembered, if Ye Guowen wanted money, why didn’t he come to him?

Ye Guowen knew about the case, and Ye Man suddenly became a rich young master, so he could use that incident as a handle to blackmail him, which was the most convenient for Ye Guowen. Especially Ye Man was afraid that he would tell the Chi family, so he warned him not to get close to any Chi family member, including Chi Jue, otherwise Ye Man would tell the matter himself, and at worst they would both die together. If Ye Guowen wanted money, he could only go to him.

But Ye Guowen hasn't appeared for a long time. It can't be that he has changed.

Ye Man thought about it and it seemed that after that afternoon in the salsa restaurant, Ye Guowen completely disappeared from his life.

What happened that day...

The living ancestor stopped him from stabbing himself with the scissors.

Such an unexpected person appeared that day.

Ye Man tightened his fingers.

He wouldn't have thought in this direction before, but now... their relationship is different.

That was a long time ago, so long ago that Ye Man never thought that the two of them would have any intersection again in the future.

Was he protecting him then?

Ye Man, who had just said that she was pitiful but was still relatively calm, suddenly bit her lip, trying to endure the inexplicable sadness that arose in her heart.

Chi Jue stared at the message on his phone and asked, "Can you let me handle this?"

"Let me solve it. It's supposed to be me who should solve it." He looked at others pleadingly.

Xu Huaiting: "Xiaoman?"

Ye asked doubtfully, "How are you going to solve this?"

Chi Jue: "Robbery, attempted murder... extortion of a huge sum of money, multiple punishments, that's enough for him to spend the rest of his life, right? Xiaoman, is this okay?"

Although he had fantasized about it many times in his mind, when the day finally came, Ye Man was a little surprised.

In his mind, solving this problem would mean bloodshed and risking everything he had.

But everything turned out to be so easy.

But soon he nodded vigorously.

Chi Jue smiled with difficulty. He looked at Ye Man and said seriously, "Xiao Man, I'm sorry for making you endure so much."

According to Ye Man's way of thinking, at this moment he should grit his teeth while pretending to be generous and saying that he doesn't mind, in order to win the admiring looks of people around him.

But he didn't.

His heart was pounding, and he said loudly with a serious face: "Although it's not your fault, I don't forgive you!"

He is petty, he is unreasonable, he is calculative, he holds grudges, so what? Just hold grudges! Chi Jue is unlucky to have run into him!

Even though I thought so in my heart, I was still a little afraid of being scolded, so I was nervous, raised my chin tightly, and turned my head towards Xu Huaiting, as if I was silently expecting something.

Xu Huaiting looked at this man who pretended to be arrogant but was actually crying silently asking for praise and support from him. He didn't know how many times he was touched by his cuteness. He lifted his chin and kissed the corner of his mouth without paying attention to the people around him watching.

Ye Man immediately became as bright as a lit firework. He couldn't suppress the smile on his face. His legs stopped shaking, his heart was no longer guilty, and he even started to show off like a smug little kid.

After showing off enough, he suddenly remembered that his ancestor had just kissed him in front of the entire Chi family.

Ye Man was stunned, and his waist, which had straightened up, became limp again.

He stayed there for two seconds and then his face turned red.

Hey... this...

Ye Man listened attentively for a while. The others began to discuss how to deal with Ye Guowen, and unanimously ignored what had just happened.

Ye Man coughed secretly and pretended nothing had happened.

He didn't need to worry about Ye Guowen's affairs. With so many people, the Chi family's legal team alone was enough to hammer Ye Guowen into the ground. Ye Man's only request was that he also go on the day Ye Guowen was arrested.

He must go.

The only pity is that he couldn't see his twelve-year-old dream come true.

He had something to complete that was seven years overdue.

Xu Huaiting said casually: "Okay, I'll go with you." With him following him, he would never encounter any danger.

That's how it was decided.

Chi Jue and Ye Guowen agreed to meet in three days.

After discussing the most important matter, everyone was exhausted.

The whole family needs to digest what happened tonight, and everyone needs some space and time to think about various issues.

On the contrary, Ye Man felt relieved after he emptied his stomach.

It was so late, and Grandpa Chi wanted to ask someone to clean up the guest room for Xu Huaiting, but he saw Chi Yan directly sent the two people to a room with an expressionless face, and asked someone to send Xu Huaiting a new set of pajamas that she had never worn before.

Normal people are not as tall as Xu Huaiting, a mixed-blood. Chi Yan is also shorter than Xu Huaiting, but she is dressed well. Xu Huaiting is usually quite casual and doesn't care much about this little problem. He thanked him and took it.

Grandpa Chi's chin almost dropped before he could wipe away his tears. "They, they sleep together?"

Chi Yan turned around and said, "Grandpa, Xiaoman doesn't sleep well, someone needs to accompany him at night."

Grandpa Chi's eyes widened and he pointed upstairs: "Then ask the guy surnamed Xu to come down, and I'll go and accompany him!"

It's just to coax my grandson to sleep! It's a small thing!

Chi Yan: “…”

Chi Yan: "Grandpa, you are in a bad mood, just forget it. Xu Huaiting... after all, he is young and can handle hardships."

Grandpa Chi: “?” What does this have to do with whether your heart is good or not? Torment, torment about what?

Chi Yan didn't plan to elaborate on the incident of Xiaoman strangling him in the middle of the night, for fear of scaring his grandfather. Anyway, he was still the head of the family.

After taking care of Grandpa, Chi Yan turned around and saw Chi Jue leaning against the wall with his head lowered. Chi Yan walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Although Xiao Man said that, he is just like that. He doesn't hate you as much as he said."

"I know," Chi Jue pulled the corner of his mouth and said sadly, "It's not like I don't have eyes. I can tell the difference."

"My parents and I were both wrong about Xiaoman," Chi Yan said slowly, "I'm the eldest brother, I should set a good example."

Chi Jue shook his head in silence.

Knowing that he needed some time to calm down, Chi Yan said nothing more.

......

Return to the room.

Ye Man went to take a shower first. When Xu Huaiting came out, Ye Man was already curled up in a corner of the bed and fast asleep, close to the light on the bedside lamp.

I don’t know what I dreamed about, I just sobbed softly.

Xu Huaiting walked over lightly, sat down beside the bed, and touched his face with his fingers.

The person being touched rubbed against his fingers.

Not awake yet, just an instinctive reaction.

Just looking at him like this makes me feel my chest swelling and filling up, which makes me feel totally at a loss.

Xu Huaiting gently pushed aside the strands of hair on his forehead and leaned down to kiss him.

"Good dream."

......

Ye Man curled up in Xu Huaiting's arms and slept all night.

Although I have slept with my elder and second brothers before, it is rare for me to wake up in someone's arms like this. The last time was also in the arms of my living ancestor.

Ye Man was stunned for a moment when he woke up. After he realized who he was hugging like an octopus, he was torn between letting go and following his heart. He chose to follow his heart and hugged the other person's neck and rubbed his chest.

He raised his head and gave her a kiss.

Kissed on the chin.

"Good morning." He had just woken up and his voice was drawn out.

Before he could react, the person next to him rolled over and pressed on him. Ye Man opened his eyes hazily, and his sleep-disordered hair spread out on the pillow.

His shoulders were pressed into the soft mattress beneath him, and his head was sunken into the pillow because of his weight. Unable to move, he raised his knees and rubbed the other's legs: "Ricardo?"

As she rubbed against him, she woke up. The man on her groaned, grabbed his head and kissed him hard.

"Xiao Man," the hoarse voice carried a hint of ambiguous meaning, "you seem..."

Ye Man's ears felt hot, and she hugged him tightly, burying herself in his neck as if to escape: "Don't say it!"

"You don't have to tell me, but don't you want to solve it? I can help you?"

Xu Huaiting's kiss fell from the ear to the neck.

Ye Man grabbed his clothes tightly, and his waist felt numb from the kiss. "Then I... I will also..."

Before he could finish, there was a knock on the door.

Ye Man has never reacted so quickly in his life.

He quickly pulled the quilt over and covered himself and the person inside.

All that could be heard under the quilt was the rapid breathing of the two people. Xu Huaiting paused for a second, then continued to concentrate on nibbling the delicate skin on the man's neck. He then moved down and gently bit the mole on the clavicle with his teeth.

The knocking on the door became more and more intense.

Chi Yan said coldly outside the door: "It's noon, Xiaoman, it's time to get up and eat. Grandpa and grandma are waiting for you downstairs."

Thinking that a group of people were waiting for them downstairs, the two of them were still here...still here...

Ye Man's face was burning, he threw back the quilt, pushed away the living ancestor who was on top of him as if he heard nothing, and said nervously in a low voice: "Get up! Get up! Stop humming——"

Ye Man covered the place where his collar was torn open and bitten in disbelief.

Xu Huaiting licked his lips, looked at the beautiful boy in a mess, pinched his chin and gave him a final kiss: "Mine."

very nice.

"I'm going to take a shower and find you a turtleneck later."

He went into the bathroom. Ye Man lay there blankly. After a while, he sat up, scratched his hair, and muttered with a red face: "I have to take a shower too..."

Halfway through the conversation, he called out tentatively, "Brother Tong?"

"On AFK..."

Ye Man heaved a sigh of relief. That was great, or else he would have lost face.

......

It took a little more time to sort it out.

After dinner, Xu Huaiting had to go out to take care of some things. Ye Guowen also needed to prepare for the follow-up matters in advance, and the Xu family also needed to prepare for the follow-up matters in advance.

Because Ye Guowen's problem has not been resolved yet, the family decided to stay in the old house for the time being.

Ye Man walked him to the door. Xu Huaiting kissed him and told him, "I'll bring you a cake from the same shop when I come back tonight."

Ye Man tugged at his sleeve and nodded reluctantly.

Xu Huaiting: "After this is over, do you want to move in with me? I'll teach you how to use a guide dog."

Ye Man nodded even more vigorously: "Then come back early."
