Ye Yan Xi's heart immediately tightened. She walked over and sat on the opposite chair under Old Master Xiao's gaze. Her body was upright and she folded her hands as if she was in class.

The table was already filled with delicacies, causing one's appetite to rise.

However, looking at this delicious meal, Ye Yanxi didn't have any thoughts of moving. Her hand was so nervous that she was sweating profusely, and she didn't know where to look.

"Hello, Grandpa Xiao." Ye Yan Xi was the first to speak.

"Did I ask you to call me grandpa?" Old Master Xiao snorted coldly as he turned distant and cold.

This temper couldn't be more similar to Xiao Yu's.

"Greetings, Old Master Xiao!" Ye Yanxi quickly changed her words.

Old Master Xiao looked at her. "These are all the signature dishes of this restaurant. Don't you like them?"

Ye Yanxi felt a wave of pressure in her heart. She wasn't here to accompany Old Master Xiao for a meal, not to mention … Looking at this scene, everyone felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.

"No, Old Master Xiao. I'm not hungry yet, I'll …"

"Since you're not hungry, I'll eat first!"

Old Master Xiao immediately picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He didn't wait for Ye Yanxi's reply, he just acted as if there was no one beside him.

Ye Yanxi sat across him in embarrassment, but the Xiao family's old patriarch didn't pay any attention to her. She was earnestly eating her dishes, treating Ye Yan as air.

In her heart, she had been trying to figure out the reason why the Old Master Xiao had called her over. Seeing that the Old Master was not playing according to the rules and her emotions were also hard to fathom, she was just like Xiao Yu, who was happy and angry, so … Almost all the possibilities were listed in his mind.

Half an hour later, Old Master Xiao finally finished eating, while she sat silently at the side as the air flowed.

She didn't dare to open her mouth and say anything first. What if she annoyed the Old Master? She didn't know what to do, so she didn't interrupt the Old Master to eat.

After Old Master Xiao stopped his chopsticks, he wiped his hands with a napkin, then slowly picked up a teacup and drank it. He then put down the teacup, his gaze finally landing on Ye Yanxi.

Seeing the Old Master looking at her, Ye Yan Xi quickly sat up straight, as if she was going to die.

Old Master Xiao's eyes were deep to begin with. When he looked at people, it was as if he was able to see through their souls through X-rays.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

"Yes... About the CEO? " Ye Yan Xi bit her lips.

"You're very smart. Little Yu has good eyes." The Xiao family's old patriarch's voice was low and dignified. "However, Little Yu is my most beloved grandson. I won't ignore his matters."

Hearing this, Ye Yan Xi clenched her hands tightly and rolled her eyes. Then, she met the eyes of the Old Master of the Xiao family.

"You called me over to … Did you break up with him? " After he said that, he felt like all the energy in his body had been drained and his heart was sinking bit by bit.

"I didn't say that." Old Master Xiao suddenly changed the topic. "I heard that you and Bei Ze had been together for eight years, right?"

Ye Yan Xi's heart tightened. Indeed, there was nothing that could be hidden from the Old Master. She lightly nodded and admitted, "Yes."

"That Beize is Little Yu's nephew, you know." Old Master Xiao's tone did not change at all.

"Got it." Ye Yanxi nodded her head again, and then explained anxiously, "But, Chu Beize and I are not what you think we are, he and I …"

"Also, I heard that your adoptive parents divorced because of you." The Xiao family's old patriarch's voice was calm and unhurried, but it caused Ye Yanxi's heart to churn once again. He took a sip of tea and continued casually said, "Tell me, if these things were to be known by the outside world, what would the consequences be?"

These words were like the last straw that broke a camel's back. Ye Yanxi's heart slowly sunk as darkness completely surrounded her.

What would the consequences be?

The woman who was the CEO of the Xiao Group was her nephew's ex-girlfriend and had been together with her nephew for eight years. If the news of this was caught by the outside world, not only would Xiao Yu be ridiculed by the outside world, even the entire Xiao Clan would be criticized by the outside world for this matter.

Furthermore, she was only an orphan. Once her identity was exposed, the Ye Family would be implicated as well. Things would only go in a worse direction.

Seeing that Ye Yan Xi didn't retort, Old Master Xiao paused, "Chu Beize's mother, Xiao Yu's older sister, almost became your mother-in-law. Do you think she can accept you?"

Chu Beize's mother had always treated her coldly, and she knew this better than anyone else.

Ye Yanxi was silent and her thoughts were in a state of chaos. The Old Master of the Xiao family was merciless as she finished speaking, "Once Little Yuanyu recovers, he'll definitely come and find you."

Ye Yanxi ignored the cold tone of Old Master Xiao's voice. Upon hearing that Xiao Yu's injuries had healed, she became excited. "Is he out of danger now?"

Old Master Xiao did not answer her, but only indifferently said, "If he comes to find you again, I think … With your intelligence, you should know what to do. "

With that, the Old Master of the Xiao family didn't care whether Ye Yanxin would answer or not. She stood up and left expressionlessly in front of her.

Ye Yan Xi felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. She felt a stabbing pain in her heart.

After sitting in the private room for who knows how long, when she came to, she was the only one left in the quiet room.

Xiao Yu was fine!

She finally heard from her own mouth that Xiao Yu was fine.

This was probably the only thing that made him happy in the past few days.

However, when he thought back to what the Old Master Xiao had said, the joy in his heart gradually faded.

Her big brother from 16 years ago and the words she had said to Xiao Yu under the table in the hotel that night, she had thought that fate would bring them together, but in the end it turned out this way?

After waiting for 16 years, they finally met up for a short period of time. In his mind, he couldn't stop thinking about what he had done with Xiao Yu.

When the waiter came in to clear the table and called to her, she hurriedly stood up and left the restaurant in a daze.

Ye Zichen took a taxi back to his apartment in Green Jade Bay, then fed the two little guys and added water as usual after entering.

The moment Xiao Hui and Xiao Hei saw the food, they pounced on it and began to snatch it away. Calculating how long it had been since they came to the apartment, the two little fellows were completely used to this house.

When she reached out to touch the cage, the two little guys seemed to have felt his emotions, and both stopped eating, their eyes unmoving as they looked at her.

"Hurry up and eat, we will be leaving soon. We're moving to a new home again." Ye Yanxi's lips curved up in a faint smile as she looked at them.

Xiao Hui and Xiao Hei could not understand what she was saying, but they still looked up at her without moving.

The smile on Ye Yanxi's lips slowly faded, and her eyes dimmed. "Are you guys also not willing to part with this place?"

She laughed self-deprecatingly, "Actually, I also can't bear to part with them. However, it's impossible for people to always stay in the same place."

"I will take you back to the place where I grew up. That is the home." Ye Yan Xi smiled and repeated with certainty: "It's home, you will like it there."

After feeding the two little things, Ye Yan Xi went up to the second floor and laid down on her bed. She felt that her previous life was a bit unreal.

After thinking for a moment, she dialed Ye Junze's cell phone. Now, she didn't know who else she could call, so she quickly picked up. Ye Junze seemed very happy listening to her voice, but he also whispered to someone beside him, "It's my daughter, hehe."

"Dad, are you still busy?" Ye Yan Xi looked at the time. It was already 10 pm.

"It's almost over."

"Dad, you've just been discharged, so you need to take care of your rest. It's already so late and you're still busy. Don't tire yourself out too much." Ye Yan Xi said with a bit of worry.

Ye Junze smiled as he heard this, and then said in a light tone, "With Xiaoyi's concern, daddy will definitely be fine. Alright, I promise I'll immediately go back."

Ever since his divorce from Lumen, Ye Junze's mood seemed to have improved a lot.

"Did you have dinner tonight?" Ye Yanxi asked. According to the past, Ye Junze rarely ate dinner when she was busy.

As expected, Ye Junze mumbled indistinctly, "Uh, I forgot about it when I was busy, but I just ate a little bit."

Ye Yan Xi immediately frowned, "Dad, didn't I already tell you to eat on time? How many times do you need me to tell you that you can't eat until you've fully recovered? "

Ye Junze suddenly realized that he was in the wrong and didn't say anything.

After a long while, he whispered, "I'll eat."

"What about next time?" Will you still do that? "

"I promise I won't, I'll definitely eat on time next time." Ye Junze immediately promised, and then finally softened his tone and said, "Xiaoxi, don't be angry with Daddy, okay?"

"Dad, I was only thinking of your body." Ye Yanxi was helpless.

"Of course dad knows. Xiaoyi cares about dad the most, I will definitely eat on time."

"That's what you used to say, I remember." Ye Yan Xi did not believe him, "I'll call for a meal for you in a bit, but doesn't your company have a restaurant that's open 24 hours a day? From now on, I'll have someone deliver food to you on time, staring at you to see if you dare to not eat it."

Ye Junze was immediately so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. "Okay, okay. Daddy will definitely listen to Xiaoyi and have a good meal."

"Yeah, that's more like it."

"It's already 10 o'clock and you haven't rested yet. Is there something you need father for?" She was his daughter who had been raised for more than ten years, so he had some understanding of her.

Ye Yan Xi paused and didn't say anything for a while. "Dad, I want to move home in a few days."

Ye Junze remained silent for a few seconds, and after he recovered, he said in an excited voice, "Really? Xiaoxi, are you really planning on moving back here?"

"Yeah." Ye Yan Xi heard Ye Junze's joyful voice and smiled, "I'm going home. Dad, do you welcome me?"

"What are you saying? You're being too formal. I've always wanted you to move back earlier. Now, we're finally reunited."

On the other side of the phone, Ye Junze was talking to others about his daughter going home.

When you go home, these two words can always easily strike a chord in a person's heart.

After chatting with Ye Junze for a while longer, he hung up the phone. However, he didn't feel sleepy at all. It seemed that he was going to lose sleep again tonight. Ye Yanxi thought in her heart.

Ever since that day, it had been two days since Ye Yan Xi had heard anything about Xiao Yu. However, she wasn't as anxious as he was before.

She knew that Xiao Yu was no longer in danger and was safe. As long as he was safe, everything would be fine.

The only thing she could do was wait for Xiao Yu to return.

When she went to work this afternoon, she felt that her mental state was severely exhausted. These few nights were always filled with sleeplessness, and she was especially prone to drowsiness every afternoon. Therefore, she decided to put her work aside and head to the teahouse to make some coffee to relieve her fatigue.

Just as he entered, there was someone else in the tea room.

It was He Qiuyang!

After receiving the coffee, Ye Yanxi turned around and walked back. However, He Qiuyang suddenly stopped in front of her.

Ye Yanxi frowned, looking at She Qiuyang's unfriendly expression, "What are you doing?"

"Let me ask you, the CEO hasn't come to the company for some time, do you know anything about it?" He Qiuyang's face was gloomy.

Ye Yanxi didn't want to talk to her any longer, so she decided to go around her.

It was obvious that She Qiuyang wasn't planning on letting the matter go, and he stood in front of her once again.

"Don't you like the president a lot? And since you've always been following him and secretly taking pictures of him, you must know where the CEO has been all this time, right? "

Facing She Qiuyang's unreasonable teasing, Ye Yanxi only felt that it was laughable. Because of her previous misdeeds and her questioning expression, she only felt disgusted.

He had secretly taken Xiao Yu's photo and was even tracking her, who else could it be? Yet now, the blame was placed on him, and he still spoke in such a manner.

She had truly broadened her horizons when she saw such a shameless person.

In the end, Ye Yan Xi reached out her hand and pushed her away. He Qiu Yang staggered for a bit and finally managed to stabilize himself. She could only see Ye Yan Xi's back and fiercely stomped her foot.

After entering the office, Ye Yanxi drank a mouthful of coffee. A bitter taste spread through her mouth, but now she only felt numb. Fortunately, she was a bit more energetic and planned to continue working.

The moment she moved her mouse, the group profile pic within the company flashed and she clicked on it.

A message suddenly popped up in the dialog box. After seeing the name of the profile pic, Ye Yanxi felt all the blood in her body freeze.

It was Xiao Yu!

He sent a message: Little Xi, guess where I am?
