She wore a pair of crystal shoes in the same color scheme, the crystals on the shoes sparkling in the sunlight.
Her long, jet-black hair, flowing like a waterfall, was casually tied back with a white ribbon, which added to her stunning beauty and elegance.
When Jian Yixue reached the bottom of the stairs, Ye Mohan noticed the several gift boxes she was carrying.
His eyes darkened, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
He then got up and walked over to Jian Yixue, taking the gift box from her hand.
"What's this?"
Ye Mohan asked casually, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.
Only he himself knew how many doubts he had, but he didn't ask them because he didn't want to put Jian Yixue in a difficult position.
"Medicinal herbs to help Grandpa recover."
Without thinking, Jian Yixue said directly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan remained silent, his expression blank, though his furrowed brows betrayed his suspicions.
Jian Yixue looked up at Ye Mohan and saw him staring at the gift box he had just received, seemingly lost in thought.
Just as Jian Yixue was about to ask a question, something suddenly came to mind.
She glanced around before turning to Ye Mohan, feigning mystery, "Mohan, when you come back tonight, I have a secret to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan looked at Jian Yixue with a puzzled expression in his cold eyes.
secret?
Should we tell him?
Is that what he thought?
Ye Mohan looked puzzled, but received no answer.
Jian Yixue didn't plan to say anything now. Although there were no outsiders in the living room, it was better to be cautious.
After all, what she was about to say was indeed somewhat unbelievable.
If it hadn't happened to her, she might not have believed it either.
Therefore, to avoid being seen as a monster, she decided to wait for a better time to tell Ye Mohan.
She also knew that her changes and the things she had done these past few days should have completely overturned Ye Mohan's perception of her.
She wasn't going to hide it from him, so being honest was the best option.
Seeing Ye Mohan staring at her with a puzzled expression, Jian Yixue grinned innocently and then leisurely walked towards the door first.
Ye Mohan was left standing there, looking helpless, and remained stunned for a long time.
Jian Yixue, who had already walked to the door on her own, stopped and turned around to urge Ye Mohan when she saw that he hadn't followed.
"Aren't you going to see Grandpa? If you don't leave soon, you won't get any free lunch! Hurry up, hurry up."
Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan, who was standing still, looked at Jian Yixue at the door with a doting gaze and a helpless expression, then picked up the gift box and followed her.
——
Ye Family Old House
When Jian Yixue and her companion entered the gate, they saw Old Master Ye eagerly waiting for them in the hall.
The old man in the hall's eyes lit up when he saw the two people at the door, and a smile appeared on his face as he watched the two walk in side by side.
The more I look at them, the more I realize how good my taste is; they are truly a perfect match.
As the two approached, Old Master Ye smiled kindly and said gently, "You've come."
Jian Yixue smiled sweetly and took the old man's arm, pretending to be concerned, "Grandpa, Mo Han and I have come to see you. Have you been taking good care of yourself while I was away?"
Seeing that Jian Yixue cared about him, Old Master Ye gave Ye Mohan a defiant look.
It seems to be saying, "Look how good your wife is, she even cares about an old man like me. Look at you, you're hopeless."
snort!
Ye Mohan looked at the old man in front of him and shook his head with a helpless smile.
If it weren't for the fact that he raised him, Ye Mohan would have already brought Jian Yixue back, and wouldn't have allowed him to provoke him.
However, seeing the old man so unusually happy, he was happy to oblige. After all, he hadn't seen his grandfather this happy in a long time since his parents' accident.
Ye Mohan looked at Jian Yixue beside Old Master Ye with deep affection, and his love for her, which was already deep in his bones, deepened even more.
He knew that Jian Yixue took such good care of his grandfather because she loved him, so she was willing to treat the people he cared about with the same sincerity.
The way he looked at Jian Yixue was filled with indescribable affection.
On the other side, after glaring at Ye Mohan, Old Master Ye turned to look at Jian Yixue beside him and laughed heartily, "Yes, yes, yes, I've been taking the medicine according to the prescription you gave me recently. You can ask Old Jin if you don't believe me."
Old Jin, don't you think so?
The housekeeper, Jin, who was coming from the kitchen, smiled broadly when she heard what Old Master Ye said. "Yes, young mistress, the old master has been taking care of his health according to your prescriptions."
Butler Jin spoke to Jian Yixue with utmost respect, his words filled with utmost deference.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue nodded with a smile, "That's more like it."
Upon seeing this scene, Ye Mohan's eyes darkened, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
It seems that while he was away, his baby has won people's hearts.
No wonder she's his wife!
Even the butler, who disrespects everyone, treats her with utmost respect; she must have paid a heavy price.
The more Ye Mohan looked at Jian Yixue, the more he wanted to rush up and hug her without hesitation.
Tell her she doesn't need to do this for him.
She is his darling!
Even if no one likes him, he loves him to the core.
But seeing this scene before him and thinking of her sacrifices, he couldn't bear to break it. Perhaps this was what she wanted, so he stood there watching her with doting eyes.
The atmosphere in the hall was cheerful. Seeing that the time was right, Butler Jin said, "Master, the meal is ready. You may dine now."
Grandpa Ye nodded, then spoke to Jian Yixue.
"Let's go eat. We just changed chefs. See if it suits your taste. We have your favorite stew."
When Ye Mohan said they were coming, Old Master Ye asked Butler Jin what Jian Yixue liked to eat and asked him to make arrangements.
During the days Jian Yixue stayed here, someone specially prepared soup for her with every meal. So after a while, Butler Jin learned that she liked this kind of soup.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue nodded, feeling a surge of emotion.
She stayed at the old house for less than a week, yet someone thoughtfully found out what she liked to eat.
This shows that they genuinely care about her, which is why they pay so much attention to her preferences.
Afterwards, the old man led Jian Yixue towards the restaurant, neither of them paying any attention to Ye Mohan behind them.
Seeing this, Ye Mohan smiled helplessly and shook his head. He stepped into the hall, handed the gift box to the waiting butler Jin, and then followed him.
Upon arriving in the living room, Jian Yixue's eyes lit up as she looked at the abundant dishes laid out on the table.
Roast duck, abalone, sea cucumber... a table full of delicious food instantly whetted Jian Yixue's appetite, who had recently been overindulging in food in the United States.
