Xiaoxi burst out laughing; she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
It's not easy for Mom and Dad to come home for the New Year, but this troublemaker made everyone unhappy. But it's okay, the troublemaker will be leaving soon.
Xiaoxi's eyes were wide open; she didn't want to miss a single frame of the shot. She even took out sunflower seeds, chicken feet, and duck feet and started munching on them while watching.
Ye Aotian was so excited that his eyes turned red, and he hugged his good brother.
He then calmed down and scrutinized Yuan Zhen with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Yuan Zhen, is it really you?"
"Aotian, in your study in America, under the first book on the left of the third shelf..."
Within their sphere of influence in the Americas, only a few trusted confidants could enter Ye Aotian's study; it was impossible for anyone else to uncover this secret.
Since Yuan Zhen in front of us can know this, then his identity must be real.
Ye Aotian excitedly hugged Yuan Zhen again.
He didn't even notice that Xiaoxi, carrying a basket of snacks, had somehow moved to the sofa in front of him and was sitting quite close to them.
Xiaoxi excitedly munched on a duck foot, her mind racing with wild fantasies: Yuanzhen must be Big Brother's best buddy, right?
Ye Aotian invited Yuan Zhen to the small living room for a private talk, as he had many things to say to Yuan Zhen.
Xiaoxi immediately followed after him, carrying a basket of snacks.
Ye Aotian frowned. "Xiaoxi, I have something to say to my friend." He meant, "Xiaoxi, don't come any closer."
"Brother, how could you reject Xiaoxi so heartlessly? Your friend is my friend too."
Isn't it normal for friends to catch up? I won't interrupt your conversation; I'll just watch quietly from the sidelines. How could I miss out on such a juicy scoop?
Ye Aotian never expected Xiaoxi to be so shameless.
Yuan Zhen said, "Aotian, is this your younger sister Xiaoxi? She's such a cute little sister, let her come along too."
Since Yuan Zhen had said so, Ye Aotian didn't want to lose face for Yuan Zhen.
Then, Ye Aotian suddenly remembered his adopted daughter. He looked over and saw Ye Xiaoya standing blankly in the living room, with no one paying any attention to her.
Since their attention was all on this side, he waved to Ye Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, come here too, this is your father."
Xiao Xi was holding the snack basket and almost burst out laughing. She couldn't hide her smugness, but she didn't intend to, especially not in front of the distraught Ye Xiaoya.
No, Ye Xiaoya will soon no longer be surnamed Ye; to be precise, she should be surnamed Yuan Xiaoya.
Yuan Xiaoya followed them into the small living room like a puppet on a string.
Xiao Xi seemed to have an endless supply of snacks, munching on duck feet and chicken feet, listening to Ye Aotian and Yuan Zhen talk in a half-hearted manner.
The conversation revolved around how Yuan Zhen managed to return alive.
Yuan Zhen, of course, did not tell Ye Aotian about his transformation into a wild boar and his time travel. He only said that a few days ago, he woke up in the home of a local in Southeast Asia who made a living by tapping rubber trees.
Then he went to the Americas and then to the capital, and after several transfers, he finally arrived in Shanghai.
I only found out a few days ago that Ye Aotian had brought his daughter from the countryside to raise her by his side.
I came here specifically to pick up my daughter.
Although Yuan Zhen's experience is quite illogical, it is the best explanation.
Ye Aotian clearly saw Yuan Zhen's body explode into pieces, but as long as his friend was still alive, what more could he ask for?
During his conversation with Yuan Zhen, he noticed that Yuan Zhen's gaze towards Xiao Xi was complex, as if he couldn't quite express his gratitude.
But when he looked at his own daughter, he felt only disappointment, devoid of warmth.
Ye Aotian knew his friend very well, and he was truly puzzled as to why his friend was experiencing such emotional fluctuations.
