"Thank you for your comforting words. I feel much better after hearing that."
Leng Mingye listened quietly to her, gazing intently at her profile; she seemed to possess a kind of magic…
"It's not exactly a consolation, it's just what I really think. But I hope it makes you feel a little better."
After saying that, the two continued walking side by side and soon toured the entire first floor of the villa. The second floor was where everyone's bedrooms were located, a more private area, so Yan Yinran didn't take him there.
"It's still a bit hot now, and the sun hasn't set yet. I'll take you for a walk in the back garden after dinner. There are lots of exotic flowers and plants there, some of which I don't even recognize."
Yan Yinran came to the bar, took a glass of juice and handed it to him. The sun was very strong at this time, so it was not really suitable to go out.
After showing him around, Leng Mingye seemed to be in a better mood. If it would be of any use to him, she wouldn't mind sacrificing herself a little more.
"Okay, thank you for showing me around, explaining so much to me, and encouraging me."
Leng Mingye nodded. Without her words, he wouldn't have understood so quickly, and he felt his inner knot was slowly being untied.
"What are you thanking me for? Have you forgotten that this was a task my dad gave me?"
Yan Yinran drank a few sips of juice. After talking so much, her mouth was a little dry, but she wasn't sleepy anymore.
"Anyway, thank you. I'll treat you to a meal next time as a token of my gratitude."
Leng Mingye was slightly taken aback. Indeed, this was not her own choice; Yan Youting had simply asked her to show him around.
In any case, he seemed to have found salvation in her, so it was only right that he treat her to a meal to express his gratitude.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you."
Yan Yinran immediately agreed; she didn't mind having dinner with him.
"Uh-huh."
Leng Mingye smiled slightly.
"Miss Ranran, Mr. Leng, it's time for dinner."
Ah Xiu walked towards them, calling out to them.
"Okay~ Let's go to the restaurant."
Yan Yinran nodded to Axiu, then looked at Leng Mingye.
Yan Youting and Li Shuwen were already seated and waiting, and Yan Qirui also came down from upstairs.
Fourth Brother.
Yan Yinran came up to him and called out to him sweetly.
"This is my fourth brother."
He whispered an introduction next to Leng Mingye.
"Fourth Brother, this is our guest who came to visit us today. His name is Leng Mingye."
Seeing Yan Qirui staring at Leng Mingye with some confusion, he quickly introduced Leng Mingye to him.
"Hello, Yan Qirui."
Yan Qirui was the first to extend his hand to greet him.
"Hello."
Leng Mingye gently took his hand, a faint smile on her face.
"Ranran, could he be your boyfriend?"
Yan Qirui leaned closer to Yan Yinran, lowered his head and covered his mouth with his hand, whispering a question in her ear with a gossipy tone.
"Fourth Brother, don't talk nonsense, it will embarrass them. This is a guest invited by Dad."
Yan Yinran blushed quickly and explained in a low voice, afraid that Leng Mingye would feel uncomfortable if he heard her.
"Oh, oh."
"Dad, Mom."
Yan Qirui responded softly, and then they walked together to Yan Youting and Li Shuwen to greet their parents.
"Please sit down, don't just stand there."
Li Shuwen stood up and greeted them, and the three of them sat down.
"Dad, Mom, where's Luoluo? I just noticed she wasn't in her room."
Yan Qirui subconsciously searched for Yan Xiluo's figure, but couldn't find her. Usually, when Yan Yinran was also around, he would call Yan Xiluo "Luoluo". When Yan Yinran wasn't around, he would naturally call her "little sister".
All five brothers in the family do this, mainly to prevent Yan Yinran from feeling disappointed and from overthinking.
Upon hearing the name "Luo Luo," Leng Mingye's heart skipped a beat. Luo Luo? Was this the Luo Luo he was looking for?
It can't be such a coincidence, right? Maybe that's just their nickname, and it wouldn't be polite to ask.
He quickly composed himself.
"Your sister went abroad with Ayan, saying she went to get treatment for her lower back."
Yan Youting picked up his chopsticks, signaling that everyone could start eating.
"Oh, how many days will it take?"
Yan Qirui didn't think much of it; since it was treatment, there was nothing to worry about.
However, he still has some things to take care of and may need to leave for a while.
"What? You just got back and you're already trying to run away again?"
Yan Youting's tone was somewhat dissatisfied, carrying a hint of sternness and questioning.
These five children are never home—no! Six! Including Yan Xiluo.
Yan Yinran is the most well-behaved, staying at home steadily. She only leaves for a few days occasionally for competitions or performances, spending most of her time at home. At least I can see her and eat together.
The other few people have spent so much time at home that you could count them on your fingers and toes!
"No, no, I was just asking."
Yan Qirui answered guiltily, knowing that letting his parents know he didn't have to leave again was better than sneaking away in this situation.
He could certainly hear Yan Youting's dissatisfaction. With so many children in the family and such a large mansion, it was normal for him to be unhappy.
"Alright, let's eat."
"Xiao Ye, eat more! The ingredients were just flown in today, they're very fresh!"
Li Shuwen quickly spoke up to break the awkward atmosphere, smiling at the group.

Zheng Shuyi Villa
Today, Yan Yixing insisted on getting out of bed and eating at the table, and Zheng Shuyi simply couldn't do anything about it.
"Ms. Zheng, before we have dinner, could you answer one question for me?"
Yan Yixing slowly sat down, afraid of aggravating his wound. Two days had passed, and Zheng Shuyi hadn't given him any response, which made him a little anxious.
Most importantly, he has been suffering from insomnia for two nights in a row...
"you say."
Zheng Shuyi propped herself up on the table with one hand and looked up at him.
Have you thought it through?
Yan Yixing looked earnestly into her clear eyes and asked.
"What are you considering?"
Clearly, Zheng Shuyi has already put this matter out of her mind.
"You forgot?"
Yan Yixing became anxious. Had she forgotten about it? She felt a pang of heartbreak.
How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?
Zheng Shuyi still couldn't remember what he was talking about, so she continued to ask him.
"Consider being with me and becoming my girlfriend."
Yan Yixing took a deep breath and then spoke, mustering her courage.
"Do not speak while eating or sleeping."
Zheng Shuyi was stunned. Why did this matter come up again?
After a long pause, Zheng Shuyi managed to utter six words, thus avoiding the question.
"Okay, okay! Give me your answer after dinner."
Although Yan Yixing was a little disappointed, she quickly adjusted her mood and said to her with a grin.
"Have a meal."
Zheng Shuyi slowly uttered two words and served him a bowl of porridge.
Yan Yixing's intense gaze remained fixed on Zheng Shuyi, who felt very uncomfortable being stared at like that and kept looking away.
She admitted that she had feelings for him...
