And so, they drove back to Moon Bay. The house was still very festive, with the red ribbons and lanterns still up, and the whole villa was brightly lit.
Their return today was unexpected by the household staff.
Yang Li rushed out, her face visibly flustered: "I'm sorry, Miss, Young Master, this...we haven't had time yet..."
Luo Qingyuan waved her hand casually, her face showing obvious fatigue: "No rush, you just got back, take your time."
Yang Li: "Then I'll go get something to eat..."
Luo Qingyuan stopped her again: "No need, it's too late, we've already eaten."
After saying that, Luo Qingyuan took off her shoes and went upstairs.
Yang Li was somewhat surprised, as she had always gone upstairs with Duan Ye before.
Duan Ye only glanced at her back before taking off his coat and shoes and following her upstairs.
The nannies who witnessed this scene were quite surprised, and after they left, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"That's strange. Miss used to always help the young master take off his coat herself. This is the first time I've seen them come back together, but Miss left first."
"Perhaps Miss is just too tired lately, after all, the old lady just passed away."
Someone asked in disbelief, "Really?"
Yang Li glanced at them: "You all have nothing to do, right?"
The nannies immediately fell silent and then scattered in all directions.
Yang Li's slightly worried gaze fell on the long staircase; she was also very concerned about the relationship between the young lady and the young master.
You know, seeing the loving relationship of the family is the happiest thing for people like them who work.
Moreover, Yang Li was the person who had been with the old lady the longest, and she also hoped to see Luo Qingyuan live a happy and joyful life.
bedroom.
When Duan Ye came in, Luo Qingyuan had already gone to the bathroom. Duan Ye was quite helpless, but he could only wait.
Not long after, Luo Qingyuan came out. Usually, she would come out with wet hair and beg Duan Ye to blow-dry it for her. But this time, her hair had been blow-dried long ago.
"I'm done washing up, you should go wash up too, it's getting late."
Duan Ye looked at Luo Qingyuan, who was taking care of her skin in front of the mirror, and felt quite helpless. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't seem to find a point to say. He could only respond with a sound and then went into the bathroom.
Luo Qingyuan's eyes were filled with sadness. She knew she shouldn't be like this, but she just couldn't control herself.
Twenty minutes later, Duan Ye came out, but Luo Qingyuan was already lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
Duan Ye thought that this guy had probably already refused to talk to him.
The entire bedroom was decorated by Duan Ye himself, with bright red bed sheets, colorful balloons on the ceiling, and a striking "double happiness" character.
He thought that if it were in the past, Luo Qingyuan would have been too excited to sleep.
Duan Ye could only give a helpless, bitter laugh, then turned off the light and got into bed.
This was the first time the two of them had lain on the same bed, but with their backs to each other.
As Duan Ye was half asleep, a pair of slightly cool little hands hugged him from behind.
Duan Ye immediately sobered up a bit and, in the end, couldn't bear to blame her. He simply turned around and pulled her into his arms.
After a long silence, he heard her voice: "I'm sorry..."
Duan Ye patted her head as always: "It's okay, go to sleep."
They slept fairly well that night.
The next morning at ten o'clock, just as the two woke up, Luo Qingyuan received a call from Butler Yang.
"Miss, the old lady's lawyer has arrived and wants to see you and your son-in-law."
Luo Qingyuan's mind immediately became much clearer.
After tidying up, the two went downstairs to the living room on the first floor.
The old lady's lawyer was a middle-aged man in his fifties named Zhang Kui, whom Luo Qingyuan knew.
Luo Qingyuan: "Lawyer Zhang, what brings you here? Aunt Yang, please tell the kitchen to prepare more dishes. Let's eat at home today."
Yang Li responded and then went downstairs.
Zhang Lu smiled and said, "Miss Luo, I'm here today because of the old lady's last wish."
Although Luo Qingyuan and Duan Ye were full of doubts, they still sat down face to face with Zhang Kui.
The maid served hot tea and then withdrew.
Attorney Zhang then took the contract out of his bag and handed it to them.
When Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan saw the words "Property Transfer Agreement" on the document, they were immediately stunned.
Luo Qingyuan took it directly and examined it carefully. By the end, her expression turned very unpleasant.
Duan Ye's alarm bells rang, and he took a look at it. He saw that the last part of the book was written with his and Luo Qingyuan's names.
Simply put, all of the old lady's assets, including her real estate and the money in her bank accounts, were divided equally between the two of them.
Duan Ye glanced at the total amount of money in the tally, and he couldn't even count all the zeros at a glance. It was clear how enormous this sum of money was.
Zhang Lu sighed and said, "Miss Luo, the old lady has always doted on you. She made this will when she knew that her dementia was out of control."
"However, after you got married, she came to me and amended her will, giving your husband a share of the old lady's property as well."
Zhang Kui looked at Duan Ye: "The old lady's original intention was that Mr. Duan, you could treat Miss Luo better."
Luo Qingyuan remained completely silent.
After Zhang Kui finished speaking, he didn't plan to stay any longer. After all, he had come today to inform them of this matter, and the will had already been notarized. Now, it was already effective as long as the person in question knew about it.
"Miss Luo, Mr. Duan, I have delivered your message and will. I won't stay for the meal."
My condolences.
After saying that, Zhang Kui picked up his briefcase and quickly left the Luo family home.
Luo Qingyuan held the contract, her expression somewhat blank.
Duan Ye couldn't help but feel a little worried, but he didn't say anything, fearing that Luo Qingyuan had walked into a dead end.
Although the matter of property was not his original intention, at this time, a property transfer agreement would not help their marital relationship in any way.
Duan Ye then took the contract, straightened Luo Qingyuan's body, and the two faced each other.
Duan Ye said, "Qingyuan, although I used to say that I was happy being with a rich woman, it was all because that rich woman was you."
"As for me, Duan Ye, money is enough as long as it's enough. I don't care about these things. I also know that Grandma wanted to ask me to treat her granddaughter better in this way."
"But even without this money, you are my wife, my love, the woman I've chosen to spend my life with. I will still treat you well and love you just the same. I know you're sad because Grandma is gone..."
"It's okay, I'll always be with you."
"But Luo Qingyuan..."
"Don't try to leave me."
Duan Ye's eyes reddened, and then he pulled the person into his arms.
Luo Qingyuan shed tears in his arms, but still hugged him back.
