Leng Yiyang's psychological resilience and ability to withstand pressure are definitely not as good as Yan Xiluo's. He has never experienced such a big storm and cannot deal with it calmly.
"I know that. I told them we'll deal with this when we get back, and not to act rashly."
He had thought about all these questions. No matter who it was, they might not have been able to accept them so easily.
"That's fine!"
Yan Xiluo nodded, her gaze falling on the pastries on the table.
"Can my baby eat solid food now?"
Lan Jingyan gently coaxed her, knowing that only Yan Xiluo had the right to speak, and he dared not make decisions on his own; he listened to her.
"Yeah, actually I've been hungry for a while, but I really don't feel like eating until I figure things out."
Yan Xiluo was so hungry she was practically drooling. She had been trying to hold back, but her curiosity was just too strong.
"I understand, hurry up and eat, don't starve yourself!"
Lan Jingyan thoughtfully brought pastries and juice to her and served her.

Lin Family Villa
Leng Mingye arrived at the Lin family villa based on the address that Grandma Liu had helped him find out.
Leng Mingye paced back and forth in front of the villa before finally deciding to press the doorbell.
"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"
Aunt Shan looked at the monitor and saw the face of a strange man, tall, handsome, and young... but she didn't know if this was Lin Ziye or Lin Chenxuan's friend.
"Sir, Madam, a young man has rung the doorbell of our villa. Should we let him in? He's a stranger."
Aunt Shan couldn't make up her mind, so she had to ask Lin Zhengzhong and Yang Mei for their opinions, since they were the masters of the house and had the right to speak.
"It's fine to let him in; perhaps he's a friend of the children?"
Yang Mei said with a smile, "But the children are all at work and not at home."
"Okay, I'll go and have the housekeeper open the door right away."
After receiving Yang Mei's reply, Aunt Shan hurriedly went to the door and asked the housekeeper to open it.
"Hello."
Leng Mingye greeted Aunt Shan politely.
"Sir, please come in. Only my husband and wife are home."
Aunt Shan is also a well-mannered person; she knows the proper etiquette for entertaining guests at home.
"Okay, thank you."
Leng Mingye looked on gratefully, then surveyed the villa. It was larger than the villas in Emperor Bay, and the area around here was also more developed.
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
The first couple he saw looked to be around the same age as his own parents, though a bit younger. He figured it would be better to call them uncle and aunt.
"Um... young man, may I ask who you are?"
Yang Mei looked him up and down, finding him a complete stranger. She had no recollection of him, which explained why Aunt Shan had been hesitant earlier.
"Auntie, my name is Leng Mingye."
Leng Mingye had a slight smile on his face. He had come to express his gratitude. Although he felt a little awkward in front of strangers, he tried his best to relax.
"Oh! Leng Mingye? You're here to find someone?"
Leng Mingye? Lin Zhengzhong and Yang Mei's expressions showed that they had never heard of this name before.
But they could tell from his appearance that he was looking for someone.
"Yes, Uncle and Aunt, I would like to ask if you used to live at No. 52, Imperial Bay?"
To prove he wasn't a fraud and to make them feel safe, Leng Mingye asked about everything he knew, also just in case he contacted the wrong person, which would have been quite awkward.
"Yes, but that was more than a decade ago."
Yang Mei nodded; they had indeed stayed in the Dijingwan villa area for a short period of time.
"Could I meet your daughter? I've come to thank her. Her encouragement and support helped me through a long and difficult journey, pulling me out of the darkness. I came back to Imperial Bay specifically to thank her, but I didn't know her name. I only remembered your address. I only found out you live here after asking Grandma Liu."
Hearing the affirmative answer, Leng Mingye felt a surge of excitement! Was he finally going to find her?
He stated his purpose directly.
"Oh! You mean Luo Luo? But she's been busy lately and hasn't been home for a while. You probably won't be able to see her for some time."
Upon reflection, Lin Zhengzhong realized that it was Luo Luo from over a decade ago. Since she returned to the Yan family, she had only come back for meals and overnight stays on a few occasions.
Later, when they learned that Yan Xiluo had many identities and was too busy to manage everything, they understood. At first, he thought it was because their relationship had become distant.
"It's alright, Uncle and Aunt, I can wait. I just want to thank her in person. If it's convenient, could I leave you my contact information? I'll visit you again when she's back?"
He finally found it, so he won't give up easily; he has to see it no matter what!
He had no choice but to swallow his pride and give them his contact information. What else could he do? He couldn't very well just ask them for Little Strawberry's contact information, could he?
Wouldn't he be directly regarded as a lunatic?
"Okay! I'll let her know when the time comes! Just give me your contact information."
Yang Mei had a kind face and a gentle smile; she seemed like a very easy person to talk to.
"Auntie, may I ask what her name is?"
Now that he'd asked this much, he was curious about her name. He'd just heard Lin Zhengzhong call her "Luo Luo"? Which "Luo" was it? [Luo? Luo? Luo? Luo? Luo? Luo?]
Leng Mingye quickly searched his mind for a few words. Although he didn't know which words they were, he thought the name sounded quite nice!
"Her original name was Lin Xiluo, but she changed her surname to Yan after being taken back by her biological parents."
Yang Mei couldn't help but explain her surname, but seeing that the young man in front of her seemed quite honest, she figured it wouldn't hurt to say a little more.
"Oh, okay, thank you, Uncle and Aunt. Here is my contact information."
Yan Xiluo? Sounds nice? But which Yan? Which Xi? Which Luo?
He couldn't be so shameless as to ask which words they were...
"good!"
Lin Zhengzhong took the note handed to him by Leng Mingye. The handwriting was actually quite good... not bad.
"Then, Uncle and Aunt, I won't bother you any longer."
Leng Mingye thought to himself that he wasn't familiar with the person and felt embarrassed to stay at their house for too long. It was such a pity that the little strawberry he was looking for wasn't home.
"OK."
Yang Mei and Lin Zhengzhong nodded in unison, watching Leng Mingye leave.
After leaving the villa, Leng Mingye took some gifts from his car and asked the butler to wait for him and not to close the door yet.
He originally intended to bring it as soon as he entered, but he was mainly afraid of startling them, and besides, they probably wouldn't accept it if he offered it to them in person, since they were just strangers to them...
Leng Mingye then handed some gifts to the butler, asking him to take them inside before leaving.
