"Look at you, playing games all night long, don't you care about your health?" Aunt Ye couldn't help but criticize her son.
"Mom, it's so boring here, what else can I do besides playing games?"
"Didn't I say you could do some business if you're bored? You used to be the vice president of the Ye Group, you should have some experience."
Another male voice came from the stairwell.
Ye Boxuan turned around in surprise, looking at the man walking towards the restaurant; "What brings you here?"
"Ah Xuan, how can you talk like that? He's your father."
"I didn't admit it." Ye Boxuan turned his head to the side, no longer looking at them.
"Achen, don't be angry. That's just how this child is. Given time, he'll accept you."
Lin Yichen looked helpless. He knew that Ye Boxuan couldn't accept him yet, but he believed that one day Ye Boxuan would acknowledge him. He sat down and tried to have a heart-to-heart talk with Ye Boxuan.
"Ah Xuan, I know you have a problem with me. But I hope we can get along well, after all, we're family," Lin Yichen said sincerely.
Ye Boxuan remained silent, his heart filled with conflict. On one hand, this man was his biological father; on the other hand, he too had a family. What did this mean for them? He couldn't accept being a child born out of wedlock.
"Family?" Ye Boxuan sneered. "You have your family, what am I? An illegitimate child?"
Lin Yichen's expression turned somewhat grim. He sighed and said, "Ah Xuan, this is a fact I cannot change. But I hope you can give me a chance to make up for what I've owed you over the years."
Ye Boxuan raised his head and looked directly into Lin Yichen's eyes. "How are you going to make it up to me? Give me all your assets? Or let me move into your house?"
Lin Yichen shook his head. "I know this isn't enough, but I will try my best. I hope you can believe in me and give yourself a chance."
Ye Boxuan's heart stirred. He also longed for a father's love, but he had never been able to let go of that resentment. He was silent for a moment before finally speaking, "Alright, I can try to get along with you, but that doesn't mean I've accepted you."
Lin Yichen smiled with relief. He grasped Ye Boxuan's hand and said, "Thank you, Boxuan. I will prove myself with my actions."
"Come on, eat, eat! Xiao Xuan, eat more. These are all your favorite dishes, made by a Chinese chef your father hired. See how good your father is to you?"
Aunt Ye tried to liven up the atmosphere.
"Come on, Xiao Xuan, eat more. Your mother said you like sweet and sour pork ribs. I found the best chef in China to make them. Try it and see if you like it." After saying that, she put a piece of pork rib on his plate and also put a piece on Aunt Ye's plate.
"You eat some too, I know this is your favorite."
"Yes, you still remember what I like to eat."
"I remember everything you like."
When Aunt Ye heard him say that, she glanced at him and her face flushed slightly.
Ye Boxuan looked at the sweet and sour pork ribs in his bowl, feeling a touch of emotion. He looked up at Lin Yichen and said softly, "Thank you!"
Lin Yichen smiled and patted his head. "Eat up, kid."
The meal was very warm and cozy, and Ye Boxuan gradually let go of his resentment. After the meal, Lin Yichen took Ye Boxuan to the garden.
“Xiao Xuan, I know you may still have many questions and grievances. But I hope you can believe me, I will do my best to give you care and support.” Lin Yichen looked into Ye Boxuan’s eyes and said sincerely.
Ye Boxuan bit his lip. "I will try my best."
Lin Yichen felt a surge of relief. He took Ye Boxuan's hand and said, "Don't just play games all day if you're bored here. You can try doing some business. I have connections here, so funding won't be a problem. The card I gave you has no spending limit."
"Thank you, I will think about it carefully." Ye Boxuan smiled slightly.
Ye Boxuan didn't want to rely too much on this man. He wanted to be self-reliant and earn money to support himself and his mother, but he was unfamiliar with the place and lacked funds.
He decided to use his connections and funds to get started first, and then pay him back once he had made enough money.
"Yes, Dad believes you can do it." After saying that, Lin Yichen patted his shoulder.
Sitting in the living room drinking coffee, Aunt Ye was very happy to see the father and son getting along so well. Although life here was boring and she didn't know anyone, she had no choice. For her son, she could endure any kind of life.
The father and son chatted for a while, and seeing that he was yawning constantly, Lin Yichen decided to let him go to sleep.
"Go upstairs and go to sleep. Don't stay up all night playing games every day anymore, okay?"
"Okay, I understand."
"Okay, go ahead. I'll chat with your mother for a while, then I'll head back this afternoon."
"So soon?" Ye Boxuan was surprised. Didn't he just arrive?
"My schedule is very full, and I only managed to squeeze in time to come and see you all."
"Go on, go upstairs to sleep. Remember not to play games every day anymore; think about something productive to do."
"good."
Only after watching his son go upstairs did he walk towards the woman he loved.
"Are you going back so soon?" Aunt Ye was a little reluctant to let her go.
"Yes, I have a lot to do and a very full schedule, so I can't linger any longer."
"Oh, by the way, I heard the Ye family has sent people everywhere looking for you."
"Looking for me? Didn't I tell Ye Lanhong to stop looking for me? I've already signed the divorce papers."
"You even signed a divorce agreement?" the man asked, quite surprised.
"Yes, Xiao Xuan can't go back, and I definitely won't go back either. I can't keep him in this situation."
"Your thinking is correct. It's just that it'll be hard on you, Xiaoya. I can't give you a formal title either. You know, my position doesn't allow for any scandals."
"I understand. I didn't ask for any official title. I'll be content if you come visit us more often."
"Xiaoya, you're so good to me." The man stepped forward and hugged her.
The man held her tightly, as if trying to meld her into his body. He whispered, "Xiaoya, thank you for your understanding. I will try my best to make it up to you and our son in the future."
Aunt Ye responded gently to his embrace, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
After a moment, the man released his hand and said reluctantly, "I have to go."
Aunt Ye nodded and saw him to the door. The man turned and left, his figure gradually disappearing from sight. Aunt Ye watched the direction he left in, feeling very reluctant, but she also knew that this man did not belong to her.
