Otherwise, with Xue's own abilities, she should be able to escape this sea of suffering.
Therefore, he stopped trying to find out anything and settled down to live a normal life in his hometown.
Upon hearing Jian Yixue's voice and seeing her in person, he was momentarily incredulous.
Hearing the village chief's words, Jian Yixue felt extremely guilty.
She recalled that the village chief had once saved her life when she attempted suicide, and had taken care of her for many years, even raising money for her to go to school. He gradually withdrew from her world after she became independent, but he would still look after her from time to time.
She felt a little sad inside, but she kept smiling, not wanting the village chief to feel sad too.
"I came back because I wanted to go home and visit, and another important reason is that I missed Grandpa Village Chief. Doesn't Grandpa Village Chief welcome me back?"
After saying that, she pouted and looked at the village chief with a deliberately strange expression.
The village chief laughed heartily after hearing this, "How could that be? I'm overjoyed that Xue'er is back, how could I not welcome her?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of emotion flickered in Jian Yixue's eyes, but she didn't show it, instead speaking in a playful tone.
"Grandpa Village Chief is still the best to me. Today I'll cook for you a delicious crucian carp and tofu soup, using the fruits of your labor."
Upon hearing this, the village chief's eyes lit up, and he involuntarily swallowed.
"Great, Xue girl. I caught a few big crucian carp today, perfect for a feast. Ever since you left, this old man has been really craving your cooking, especially your crucian carp and tofu soup."
After saying that, he swallowed a few more mouthfuls of saliva, a smile on his lips, his mind filled with the crucian carp and tofu soup that Jian Yixue had made before.
Upon seeing this, Jian Yixue couldn't help but chuckle.
The village chief, who had been lost in thought, immediately understood when he heard Jian Yixue's undisguised laughter. Seeing his own rude behavior in front of the junior, he felt somewhat embarrassed.
He covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly a few times to hide his embarrassment.
Ye Mohan watched Jian Yixue the whole time, and he didn't miss the strange emotions in her eyes.
Although he didn't know why Jian Yixue was like that, he still knew that she was feeling very upset at the time.
When he saw the strange emotions in Jian Yixue's eyes disappear and that she was even willing to cook, he felt even more sorry for his wife.
I don't know what she went through to evoke such emotions in her.
He didn't dare to ask, afraid of touching on Jian Yixue's sore spot.
Ye Mohan had no choice but to endure it, standing firmly behind Jian Yixue without saying a word.
Seeing that the two had been chatting for a long time without mentioning him, Ye Mohan became restless and reached out to hug Jian Yixue's arm to get their attention, also wanting to take the opportunity to assert his ownership.
Previously, Ye Mohan did not have a good impression of the old man in front of him, but after seeing Jian Yixue's attitude and address towards the old man, he immediately understood.
If Ye Mohan's friends were here, they would probably be astonished.
You should know that if outsiders want to see Ye Mohan, they have to make an appointment at least a month in advance, and even then, they are not guaranteed to get to see him.
But when it came to the two of them, they were completely ignored.
To be honest, Ye Mohan felt a little heartbroken for a moment.
This scene gave him the illusion that he didn't hold a high enough place in his wife's heart, that she could ignore his existence.
Jian Yixue, who was fully engaged in conversation with the village chief, felt herself being hugged. She was slightly startled, then turned her head to look at Ye Mohan.
When he saw the hand asserting sovereignty on his arm, a hint of doting helplessness crept onto his smiling face.
Seeing Ye Mohan's childish behavior, Jian Yixue couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.
When she met Ye Mohan's gaze, she knew that he was doing it on purpose, expressing his dissatisfaction with her ignoring him.
My own man is both stingy and adorable.
Jian Yixue understood Ye Mohan's intentions and didn't say anything more. She turned to the village chief and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, this is my husband, Ye Mohan."
Then he looked at Ye Mohan and said, "Mohan, this is Grandpa Village Chief. I was in the countryside before and I was very grateful to Grandpa Village Chief, otherwise you might not have seen me."
Upon hearing Jian Yixue's words, the village chief re-examined the man before him.
At first, he didn't notice Ye Mohan behind Jian Yixue until the man put his arm around Xue'er's arm.
From the man's practiced movements and body language, and from Xue'er's silent agreement to his actions, he made a guess.
He just wasn't sure, and now Xue Yatou's explanation only confirmed his guess.
The man in front of him gave him the impression of being either rich or noble. He had an outstanding temperament and a powerful aura, and it was clear that he was no ordinary person.
It was obvious that only someone who had been in the clouds for a long time could have such a magnificent aura. Although the man was trying to suppress it, he could still see a little bit of it.
Adding to what he had previously found out through someone else, he was even more certain that the man in front of him was no ordinary person, but rather someone of high status.
The village chief began scrutinizing Ye Mohan, while Ye Mohan also sized up the old man before him.
Upon hearing Jian Yixue's words, Ye Mohan looked at the village chief with gratitude in his eyes.
He was aware of some of the things that had happened to Jian Yixue here before.
Jian Yixue did not erase or deliberately cover up those things, so Ye Mohan knew every detail of what happened to Jian Yixue in those years in the report he investigated, except for the years when Jian Yixue went abroad.
Ye Mohan also knew that the village chief had always treated Jian Yixue well, and he was also very clear that what Jian Yixue said was true.
Therefore, after hearing Jian Yixue's words, Ye Mohan nodded more respectfully to the village chief and said gratefully, "Thank you for taking care of Xue'er all these years, village chief."
Upon hearing this, the village chief's expression turned serious and earnest. He stared intently at Ye Mohan and said, "It is my decision to take care of Xue Yatou, and I don't need anyone else's thanks. You are Xue Yatou's husband. Are you confident that you can take good care of her and prevent her from suffering the slightest harm?"
After listening, Ye Mohan hugged Jian Yixue even closer, looked at her with his dark eyes, and then looked at the village chief, speaking with great seriousness.
"Please rest assured, now that I have married Xue'er, I will naturally protect her for the rest of her life."
As long as I have a breath left in my life, I will never let Xue'er suffer the slightest harm.
Even if I'm gone one day, I will still ensure that Jian Yixue lives a peaceful and safe life.
She lacks nothing except me.
Ye Mohan didn't have the courage to say the last sentence.
He couldn't guarantee that Jian Yixue would still be happy without him.
