CHAPTER 1158: CHAPTER 232: EYES HEALED, HEART LOST (PART 5)

Yan Ke rolled his eyes, "Seventh Uncle, it’s so late, why aren’t you out painting the town red, and instead, pretending to be the dutiful grandson here?" His tone was anything but polite.

Yan Nangui wasn’t offended, adopting a good-natured stance: "Then why did you all come?"

"We’re the future flowers of our country, with upright roots, unlike you, haha..." Yan Ke squatted in front of the old man, grinning, "Great Grandpa, my brother and Sister Yun Ya and I came to see you."

The old man clasped his hand, his eyes squinting: "Is it Gege?"

Yan Ke beamed with happiness: "Great Grandpa still remembers me."

Yan Song pulled Ji Yunya over, and as soon as the old man saw Yun Ya, he immediately released Yan Ke’s hand and grabbed Yun Ya’s, "Girl, you haven’t come to see this old guy for several days." His tone carried a hint of grievance.

Yun Ya smiled, "I’m here now, aren’t I? I’ll come every day from now on to keep you company, as long as you don’t mind me being a bother, Great Grandpa."

Yan Nangui sat on the chair opposite, holding his chin with his hands, watching Yun Ya with deep eyes, lost in thought.

Yun Ya felt the gaze on her back, prickling like a thorn, and felt quite uneasy inside.

It was this man who had an affair with Fourth Aunt, undeniably good-looking, but his conduct was certainly contemptible.

Yan Xing would have loved to just turn around and leave, but since they were already here, he had to say a few words.

Meng Junci secretly glanced at Yan Nangui, seeing him staring at Ji Yunya’s back in a daze, his eyes flickering slightly, and he lowered his gaze without a trace.

After chatting with the old man for a while, he got tired, and Yan Fu walked over with a smile: "The old man is sleepy, Young Masters and Misses, you all should head back now."

Yan Fu wheeled him back inside, and Yan Song started to walk away with Yun Ya.

Yan Ke, Yan Xing, and Meng Junci quickly followed.

Yan Nangui stretched and stood up, "Ah Song, why are you running so fast? Afraid I’ll eat your wife or something?"

Yan Song paused slightly, replying blandly, "Yun Ya is tired, I’m taking her back to rest, hope you don’t mind, Seventh Uncle."

In just a few words, Yan Nangui caught up with Yun Ya, smiling: "I heard you graduated from a top university in the United States?"

Yun Ya concealed her feelings with a smile: "Yes."

"Seems you’re a genius then." Yan Nangui smiled enigmatically, glancing at Yan Song, "Ah Song, you’re quite lucky."

Yan Song inwardly sneered, holding Yun Ya’s hand as they left quickly.

Yan Nangui paused his steps, watching their figures quickly disappear into the darkness, smiling slightly.

On the way back, Yan Xing whispered, "Seventh Uncle might have taken a liking to Ji Yunya, from the way he was looking, there’s a good chance."

"Ji Yunya is so beautiful, everyone knows Seventh Uncle likes beauties the most, seeing someone like Ji Yunya, how could he not be tempted?"

Meng Junci whispered, "Don’t talk nonsense, it might ruin Miss Ji’s reputation."

"I’m just speaking casually, look at Big Brother’s eyes, he seems ready to skin Seventh Uncle alive, haha, things will get interesting."

Meng Junci’s eyes flickered slightly, following Yan Xing back to the room.

Yan Hua had already rolled up the bedding and gone to sleep in the guest room early. Xingxing used to love clinging to Meng Junci. Most of the year, Meng Junci stayed at the Yan Family’s house. He would sleep with Xingxing. She didn’t like sharing a bed with others, Xingxing was tolerable, but adding Meng Junci was something she extremely disliked, so she would usually leave space for them.

Before sleeping, Yan Xing was still murmuring in her ear about Ji Yunya introducing her to Mai Zheng, excitedly drifting off to sleep.

But Meng Junci couldn’t sleep, staring blankly at the tent top.

Tossing and turning, thinking of Yan Song, Ji Yunya, then again of Yan Nangui’s face, her mind a swirl of thoughts.

Wrong, wrong, everything’s wrong...

What should she do?

The moonlight was very bright tonight, draping the earth in a frosty white. Yan Hua couldn’t sleep, draping her clothes over herself as she got up, taking a turn outside the door.

The Yan Family house seemed particularly tranquil at this time.

Unknowingly, she walked to a remote room’s door, where a cluster of holly bushes grew next to the window, lush and vigorous, unafraid of the cold.

She took two steps closer, standing quietly in front of the window, the window shut tight, a strong medicinal smell hit her nose. By the silvery moonlight, she saw a person lying on the large bed inside.

The surroundings were utterly silent, only the faint chirping of unknown night insects remained, and she could almost hear her own heartbeat.

"Who?" A gentle, weak voice suddenly rang out, making Yan Hua’s heart skip, she almost fled in a panic.

As she turned and ran far away, she didn’t hear the voice that followed, the surprise mingled with deep expectation.

"Is it Huahua?"

——

Far away in Jiangzhou, the Pei Family Villa was brightly lit.
