1483 Private Space

\"I would like to go back to visit my grandfather,\" Ye Youyou said.

She had not gone back for many, many years. Ever since she went to the Capital with Ye Tian, she had never seen her grandfather again.

Her grandfather had eight grandchildren from his sons, and many others from his daughters as well. For some reason, her grandfather had always doted upon her the most. Whenever he had some good food or fun trinkets, Ye Youyou was always the first one he wanted to share them with.

When she was young, her grandfather had always told her smilingly, \"Youyou, when you grow up, Grandfather will take you to the town to watch a show. It's really exciting!\"

That promise had stayed with Ye Youyou until now. Before she could grow up, Ye Tian had divorced her biological father.

Ye Tian had brought her along when she left the village where the Ye family resided. Ye Tian had married a tycoon in the Capital and led the life of a rich missus.

Everyone envied Ye Tian's present carefree life. And, everyone knew that Guan Queye had a very good stepmother. However, no one knew that Guan Queye's stepmother was only this appreciative of her current life because she was terrified of going back into poverty.

A few decades had passed in the blink of an eye. The thought had never even crossed Ye Tian's mind to take Ye Youyou back to visit her family. She had never even been back herself.

Rumor had it that Ye Youyou's maternal grandfather had passed away, and her maternal grandmother's health wasn't faring too well.

Ye Youyou had been wanting to return to visit them, but the opportunity never arose. In the past, she had been greedy and wanted it all. Career. Love. Family. She had wanted it all. In the end, she had been left with nothing. Now, she just wanted a peaceful life.

With a deep sigh, Ye Youyou pulled herself out of her thoughts and looked at Li Jinnan as she asked, \"What about you? Are you ready to go back yet?\"

Li Jinnan sat on the edge of the bed bare-chested. Marks that had evidently been left behind by a woman's nails were on his beige skin.

Ye Youyou felt mortified by the red streaks on his back and the love bites on his neck.

She turned her head away in embarrassment. Li Jinnan chuckled when he saw that.

He tapped the ash out of his cigarette and replied, \"Of course. I'll go with you to visit your grandfather.\"

Ye Youyou was silent for a moment. She had been expecting him to say that and replied, \"I don't think that's appropriate.\"

\"When people get old, their greatest wish is to see their descendants setting up their own families. Your grandfather will undoubtedly be happy if you bring a boyfriend back.\" Li Jinnan gazed at her and wiggled his brows. \"Furthermore, does your family know about your recent divorce?\"

Ye Youyou was stunned. She hadn't thought of that question. Her brows shot together when she heard it.

She had indeed not given that question any thought. There was no way her grandfather was unaware that she had gotten married. If she revealed to him that she was divorced upon visiting him, he was sure to get worried about her.

\"It's fine. As long as you don't go, they won't know that I'm divorced.\" Ye Youyou made up her mind. \"GM Li, I think we can give each other some private space. I would like to make this trip back on my own.\"

Li Jinnan frowned when he heard that.

She's asking for some private space? Have I been too aggressive in chasing her?

Li Jinnan gave it some serious thought for a moment. From Kingstown to the Capital, and from the Capital to Kingstown, and again to Hawaii… It did seem like she didn't have much private space.

\"GM Li, I'm an unemployed citizen,\" Ye Youyou said. \"You, on the other hand, have a company. The company needs you. When we return to Kingstown, you should get back to work first.\"

\"When will you come back to me, then?\" he asked

Do Li Jinnan's words mean that he has agreed to it?

Ye Youyou replied, \"When I'm done visiting my grandfather.\"
