He had encountered too many setbacks from those two individuals, so he was calm now, knowing that things were not that easy.
"I've thought about what you said, don't worry. With the two of us cooperating, we'll surely achieve our goals. Let's add each other on WeChat first," Jiang Huan said with a smile, extending her phone.
Chu Yu added her, and the two were officially allied.
...
Recently, the father and son duo, Yan Haojue and Old Master Yan, who were rarely seen together throughout the year, had been meeting more often than in the past few years, as both were willing to visit Ye Wan's home.
Ye Wan was at her wit's end with these two. The gifts they brought were even more exaggerated. She used to think her house was quite large, but now it felt smaller and smaller, with barely any room to move.
Treasures worth millions were strewn on the floor, with no one paying them any mind.
Today, Old Master Yan and Yan Haojue arrived at Ye Wan's home together again. Yan Haojue was planning to cook dinner for Ye Wan, while Old Master Yan was there to freeload.
"I say, you're not a young man anymore, running to that young girl's house every day. Aren't you ashamed!" Old Master Yan looked at his son with disdain.
"You should ask yourself the same question!" Yan Haojue replied calmly, his expression unchanged, retorting to his own father.
"Can I be compared to you? Ye Wan is my god-granddaughter, you have no relation to her. Don't cause any gossip for her. You should leave now." Old Master Yan tried to shoo his son away like a fly.
"If I leave, who will cook?" Yan Haojue retorted, silencing Old Master Yan. He certainly didn't know how to cook. His son's talent for cooking must have come from his wife.
"You can leave after you've cooked!" Old Master Yan said stubbornly.
"That won't do. If I cook, I have to eat."
When Ye Wan returned, she saw the father and son bickering.
She greeted them and went back to her room to wash up. Grandpa Yan and Uncle Yan visited at least twice a week, and she had grown accustomed to it. She didn't know why, but she didn't resent their intrusions. Given her personality, she thought she would have found it difficult to adjust.
Yan Haojue and Old Master Yan felt the same way as she did; they simply liked this well-behaved and sensible young girl and felt a natural urge to be close to her. They missed her if they didn't see her for a day, and visiting only twice a week was already a restraint.
They wished they could be with the young girl every day.
They were also considerate, leaving after dinner and a brief chat with Ye Wan, so as not to bother her.
After seeing them off, Ye Wan sat on the sofa, hugging a cushion. She was lost in thought. Grandpa Yan and Uncle Yan gave her the illusion of having a home.
It was as if their child had moved out after college for work, but the elders at home were worried and came to check on her every week. Ye Wan smiled and shook her head, thinking she was being too greedy to wish for a home.
Home... what a beautiful yet distant word.
Just as Ye Wan was preparing to sleep, the bedroom door opened, and a tall figure appeared at the doorway. She was startled and, upon recognizing the person, turned away with a sigh. "Mr. Gu, what brings you to visit the wife you've abandoned?"
Gu Yunting walked to the bedside and picked her up. Ye Wan struggled to push him away. After pushing him off, she moved to the other side of the bed. "Don't come near me. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be handsy."
Seeing this, Gu Yunting started to take off his clothes. Ye Wan was even more dumbfounded. She cursed, "Gu Yunting, have you lost your mind? All you know how to do is take off your clothes! You're shameless!"
