There's nothing on her face, so what's wrong with this person?
Ye Ling'er thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out why.
After that, just ignore him and let him think what he wants. It won't hurt you anyway.
And so, the two remained silent until the car stopped in front of Ye Mohan's castle villa.
Ye Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief and glanced outside, where she saw an extremely extravagant castle villa standing there.
She left early and had never been here before.
She turned to look at Nangong Ci and asked, "Is this my brother's home?"
Nangong Ci nodded.
"Then I'll go down first. Please tell my brother that I've arrived."
Ye Ling'er hurriedly prepared to get out of the carriage, as if tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves were chasing her.
As soon as the door opened, before Ye Ling'er could even get out of the car, Nangong Ci reached out and blocked her.
Ye Ling'er turned her head and looked at Nangong Ci with a puzzled expression, "What are you doing?"
Nangong Ci gave her a smile she couldn't understand, "Remember my name, Nangong Ci."
Ye Ling'er was full of question marks.
ah? ? ?
Before she could react, Nangong Ci continued, "Who talks about repaying a debt of gratitude when they don't even know the name of their savior?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling'er immediately understood.
So that's what it meant. She thought...
Ye Ling'er wasn't a calculating person, and nodded upon hearing this. "I understand, Nangong Ci."
Nangong Ci nodded in satisfaction before letting go of her hand.
The reason he let go was because he saw Ye Mohan's car driving towards him in the rearview mirror.
If he sees this, it might ruin things.
Ye Ling'er was so focused on getting down quickly and escaping this awkward situation that she didn't notice anything amiss.
Just after she hurriedly got out of the car, a car stopped in front of her, and Ye Mohan strode over.
Ye Ling'er looked up and immediately burst into tears, feeling wronged.
Upon seeing this, Ye Mohan hugged Ye Ling'er and gave Nangong Ci a cold look.
Nangong Ci looked helpless but said nothing.
Even if he says now that it has nothing to do with him, Ye Mohan will absolutely not believe him.
After all, he was the one who saved her, and he couldn't be sure if Ye Ling'er's crying was for her own reasons.
After glancing at him, Ye Mohan comforted his younger sister, saying softly, "Don't be afraid, your brother is here."
Ye Ling'er cried bitterly, sobbing uncontrollably, "I...I'm not afraid. I believe my brother will come to save me. I just can't help but cry when I think about what I've been through these past few days."
Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan immediately realized that his brother had misunderstood him.
However, he wasn't prepared to apologize. It was his own fault for not rescuing his sister sooner; otherwise, she wouldn't have cried so bitterly.
Ye Mohan looked at Ye Ling'er with a doting expression, gently patting her back without saying a word.
Ultimately, she was just a little girl who had been overly protected by him since childhood. After experiencing all this, it would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid. It was alright if she hadn't seen her family yet, but once she did, she would definitely be terrified.
Ultimately, it was because he failed in his responsibility as an older brother that she had to go through all this for nothing.
Looking at Ye Ling'er being held by Ye Mohan, Nangong Ci felt for the first time that Ye Mohan was such an eyesore, and he wished those hands were his own.
The more Nangong Ci looked at him, the more unhappy he became, but he knew he couldn't do anything, otherwise Ye Mohan's eyes would surely know everything.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Ye Mohan glanced at Nangong Ci and nodded.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling'er, who was in his arms, immediately looked up at Nangong Ci and said, "Thank you for today. I'll treat you to a meal sometime."
Nangong Ci smiled calmly, "It's a deal."
In reality, he was not as calm as he appeared; his heart was actually in turmoil.
As soon as the car door closed, a meaningful smile quietly crept onto Nangong Ci's face.
Should I invite him to dinner?
He's really looking forward to it.
After watching Nangong Ci leave, Ye Mohan turned to Ye Ling'er and said softly, "Let's go inside. Grandpa will be here soon."
Ye Ling'er then withdrew her gaze and nodded.
The two walked together into the castle.
He didn't think much of Nangong Ci's sudden action, assuming that Nangong Ci had gone there specifically because of him, and didn't think about it any deeper.
Not long after they entered the room, Old Master Ye arrived.
"Lingling, where are you?" As soon as he entered the door, the old man hurriedly searched for Ye Ling'er.
Although he had already received the news that Ye Ling'er had been safely rescued, he was still worried until he saw it with his own eyes.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling'er, who was on the sofa, knew that the old man had arrived and quickly got up to greet him.
When she saw the old man sitting in a wheelchair, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she didn't show it so as not to worry everyone.
She called out sweetly, "Grandpa, I'm here." Then she walked up to the old man and smiled sweetly.
When Old Master Ye saw Ye Ling'er appear before him unharmed, he couldn't help but shed tears.
"Okay, okay, okay, it's good that you're back safe and sound."
He was terrified of outliving his child, and in the past few days, he regretted his soft-heartedness countless times.
If things really escalate to the point of fratricide, how will he face his wife, son, and daughter-in-law after he dies?
Looking at her aged grandfather, Ye Ling'er couldn't help but feel sad.
While waiting for her grandfather to arrive, she learned the whole story from her brother.
Grandpa was undoubtedly the biggest victim in this incident.
She didn't want her grandfather to be saddened by this, so she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Grandpa, I'm fine, don't worry." She stepped forward and took the wheelchair from the housekeeper.
Ye Mohan watched the scene between the grandfather and grandson and felt very pleased with the atmosphere.
Seeing the two approaching, he said calmly, "Ling'er, you chat with Grandpa for a while, I'm going to the study to take care of some things."
Ye Ling'er nodded quickly, "Go ahead, brother, I'll stay here with Grandpa."
Ye Mohan nodded with satisfaction and turned to go upstairs.
Grandpa Ye watched his grandson's retreating figure, wanting to say something, but then, remembering something, he swallowed it back helplessly.
Forget it, forget it. Just like Old Jin said, children and grandchildren have their own blessings.
He has done all he can; there's nothing more he can do.
In the study.
Ye Mohan wasn't in a hurry to deal with work; more than ten hours had passed since he returned from Lancheng. At this moment, he especially missed Jian Yixue.
Ye Mohan picked up his phone, typed a text message, and sent it.
Honey, I miss you so much.
...
At this moment, Jian Yixue, far away in Lancheng, is on her way to Ouyang Yunruo's belated birthday banquet.
Jian Yixue, who was sitting backstage, heard her phone ring and looked down to pick it up.
Instantly, a tender smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
