Duan Ye couldn't help but tease, "You weren't like this before. You never even got jealous of Ye Nuan before. How come you're jealous of the housekeeper now?"
"If you keep doing this, does that mean no one will be allowed to take my coat anymore?"
Luo Qingyuan felt her face burning with embarrassment. What she regretted most was her boastful words about being magnanimous, which made her feel extremely remorseful every time they were brought up to criticize her.
But Luo Qingyuan was silent for only a moment before saying, "I'll take your clothes off from now on, but you don't need anyone else."
"The nannies at home and the old house are all quite young. What if they are inexperienced?"
Duan Ye burst out laughing at Luo Qingyuan's words: "What are you thinking? You've been reading too many novels, haven't you?"
Luo Qingyuan turned to wash her hands at the sink: "Don't blame me for overthinking. Such things happen all the time in wealthy families, so we have to be careful."
Duan Ye: "What? You're not confident in your beauty anymore? With you around, how could my heart possibly have room for anyone else?"
After washing her hands, Luo Qingyuan came over and naturally sat down next to Duan Ye. Then, smiling, she picked up her chopsticks and placed a piece of beef into Duan Ye's bowl.
"Hmph, you'd better only have me in your heart."
Duan Ye reached out and pinched her cheek: "Why are you so anxious? This isn't like you."
Luo Qingyuan remained silent for a moment before speaking, "I don't know anything about my uncle's matter..."
While eating, Duan Ye said, "As for my uncle's matter, let's trust the people of the country."
Before Luo Qingyuan could say anything more, Duan Ye directly dispelled her concerns: "I can't get involved in this case, but I can guarantee that if my two uncles hadn't done such a thing, they wouldn't have been wronged for no reason."
"Qingyuan, my brother is already investigating."
Luo Qingyuan's eyes immediately reddened.
She didn't believe that her uncle's affairs could be orchestrated by the powerful families of Kyoto. Although the Luo family was on guard, their journey was indeed not as smooth as that of the Duan family.
Duan Ye gently patted her hand: "Don't worry so much. You should know that I am your husband, and I am someone you can rely on."
"Besides, I didn't know until I saw the bill that I couldn't even count the zeros at the end. Tell me, just how rich are you guys?"
Luo Qingyuan sniffed, her heart initially aching, but now feeling warm.
But what she said made Duan Ye realize once again the differences in social classes in this world.
"I've never calculated it carefully, but to me, money is just a string of numbers that I could probably spend in several lifetimes."
Duan Ye's lips twitched: "Tsk, luckily I'm a natural money lover, otherwise how could you have gotten me so easily?"
Duan Ye thought again of the ten million that had made him bow his head. Alas, in this world, who can avoid bowing down for a meager living? Once he bowed, it lasted a lifetime!
After hearing this, Luo Qingyuan couldn't help but smile, her bright eyes filled with laughter: "Actually, I feel quite fortunate."
"What's there to be thankful for?"
Luo Qingyuan: "I'm so glad I have so much money that I can keep you here."
Duan Ye was stunned for a moment, then slightly surprised that someone like Luo Qingyuan would say such a thing.
"Sister Luo..."
Duan Ye called out, and Luo Qingyuan smiled and said, "Alright, let's eat. After we finish eating, we'll go home."
"I've been back for two days, and I already miss my home in Moon Bay."
Duan Ye smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go home after dinner."
The two then skipped over the topic and chatted while eating.
It was already 9 p.m. when we finished dinner.
Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan were about to go straight home, but they were stopped by Luo Shuyang halfway there.
"Since I've finally come home, I'll stay here for a couple of days."
Duan Ye smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, we won't stay here. I have to report to work tomorrow morning, so I'll head back tonight."
Luo Shuyang's expression was somewhat complicated: "I know, but Mom wants to have a private talk with Qingyuan."
Luo Shuyang looked at Luo Qingyuan: "I know you have resentment in your heart, but you've been away from home for so long, it's time to have a proper reunion with us. Manman misses you, her aunt, and your sister-in-law also wants to talk to you."
Duan Ye's expression turned slightly cold. Was he trying to separate the couple?
Luo Qingyuan thought for a moment and then said, "Brother, I'm going to go with Niannian to pick out a wedding dress tomorrow, so I won't be staying overnight."
"As for my sister-in-law, I'll go check on her now."
After saying that, Luo Qingyuan looked at Duan Ye with a slightly apologetic expression: "Thank you for waiting for me a little longer, A-Ye."
Duan Ye raised his hand and ruffled her hair: "Okay."
Luo Qingyuan left quickly, leaving only Luo Shuyang and Duan Ye behind.
Duan Ye: "She's gone. Brother-in-law, tell me the truth, have you changed your minds again?"
Before Luo Shuyang could reply, Duan Ye spoke again: "But regardless of whether you have changed your minds or not, I, Duan Ye, will marry Luo Qingyuan openly and honorably. Neither you nor Ms. Zhao can stop me."
Luo Shuyang smiled. He had always thought that Duan Ye was a mild-tempered person, but now he suddenly realized that it seemed to be just his misconception.
Luo Shuyang: "I only care about Qingyuan's feelings. If she insists on being with you, I won't say anything more."
"But Duan Ye, the Duan family has made countless enemies, and the Luo family is no less so. With such a long road ahead, can you really protect my sister?"
Duan Ye's face was serious: "Now that I've married her, I will take full responsibility for her."
"I don't need you to remind me of these things."
After saying that, Duan Ye took the lead and left: "Please tell Qing Yuan that I'll be waiting for her outside."
Luo Shuyang's voice came from behind him: "Really? Since you want to bring Qingyuan home, shouldn't you consider whether your family agrees? Your grandfather and my dad have talked about it, you know?"
Duan Ye paused slightly. Before he could speak, the old lady's voice came from afar: "What did Duan Jiancheng and your father talk about?"
Luo Shuyang was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw the old lady slowly walking over, leaning on her cane.
Luo Shuyang respectfully greeted her, "Grandma."
The old lady asked, "In the Luo family, is Grandma allowed to say a word?"
Luo Shuyang: "Grandma, what are you saying? You are my and Qingyuan's grandma, and Dad's mom. How could you not speak to me?"
The old lady said, "I used to be too lazy to care about these things, but this time is different."
Luo Shuyang was just about to ask what was different...
Then the old lady said, "Duan Ye, make an appointment with your grandfather and tell him I want to see him. Ask him when he's free and to contact me."
Duan Ye was also dumbfounded; his grandfather didn't meet just anyone...
Perhaps sensing Duan Ye's concerns, the old lady smiled and said, "Just give him his exact words, he will make his own decision."
