Ye Xi was startled, she did not think that he would keep asking this question.
Biting his head, Ye Xi then said, "My mother is a vegetarian, unlike me, who has a heavy taste. Apart from stir-fried bamboo shoots, my mother's favorite food is to pluck sweet potatoes and stuffy eggplants. "
Tuck the melon and stewed eggplant?
Lan Shan looked at the two dishes that were close to the fried bamboo shoots.
Ye Xi also saw it and was startled. He stared at Lan Qian, "Grandpa Lan Shan, do you like eating these too?"
The hand that Lan Qian was holding onto the chopsticks with seemed to be shaking, but also seemed to be missing something. He looked at Ye Xi with extreme excitement, "Last time, you said, what was your mother's name?"
"?" Ye Xi looked at his excited appearance and was a little confused, but still replied: "Surname Xu, one-name Qiu."
"Does your mother have any other names?" Lan Qian asked.
Ye Xi frowned, and gently shook his head.
"Think about it!" Lan Qian suddenly shouted.
Ye Xi's shoulders trembled, and looked at Lan Shan, shocked by his current state.
Unexpectedly, Lan Shan also had a puzzled look as he stared at her.
Ye Xi blinked and whispered, "My mother doesn't have any other name."
This time, Lan Qian didn't even open his mouth to ask.
Lan Shan was the first to speak, "Sister Ye, are you sure?"
Ye Xi looked at Lan Qian whose face had changed greatly, and nodded without hesitation.
Lan Qian's eyes suddenly darkened, and he lowered his head.
Seeing that, Ye Xi was confused.
As Lan Shan looked at Lan Qian's dejected appearance, he felt a little upset. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and grabbed Lan Qian's arm. "Grandfather, don't be like this.
Lan Qian swallowed a mouthful of bitterness, and patted her hand. In the end, he slid her hand down, and got up, "You guys eat slowly, Grandfather is tired, so he went back to his room."
"Grandpa ?" Lan Shan stood up worriedly.
Lan Qian waved his hand, "Shan Shan, help grandfather receive your Sister Ye."
After he finished speaking, Lan Qian passed through the rear courtyard.
Ye Xi stared at Lan Qian's hunched back, his heart feeling a little sore.
"Sister Ye, don't mind it. My grandfather isn't usually like that." Lan Shan walked to Ye Xi's side and held her hand as he spoke.
Ye Xi shook his head, "I'm fine." Ye Xi pursed his lips, looked into her eyes and asked worriedly, "Shan'er, did I say something wrong?"
"Without Sister Ye, you think too much. No matter what you do, my grandfather's heart will always be tied with a knot that he ca
ot unravel." Lan Shan sighed.
"An unbreakable deadlock?" Ye Xi was suspicious.
Lan Shan nodded, his bright eyes sweeping across Ye Xi's face, and said slowly, "Actually, those few vegetables you mentioned earlier, were also my grandfather's daughters ? It's also my aunt's favorite food. "
Ye Xi was slightly startled, but immediately felt relieved. In this world, there were many people who looked alike, let alone those with the same taste.
However, Lan Shan's next words made her heart jump.
"My grandpa also said that you look very similar to his daughter." When Lan Shan said this, he had been paying attention to Ye Xi's expression the entire time.
Seeing that her face revealed doubt and surprise, she smiled and said, "However, I've seen my aunt's photos before. They are completely different from the Sister Ye s, and they are not even the slightest bit similar. I think it's because my grandfather misses my aunt so much that he thinks she's my aunt when he sees a pretty girl. "
When her grandfather had left B City with his family, there was a picture of her aunt, not a single one.
She had never seen her aunt before, but she had heard her mother mention it when she was very young.
She didn't know why she was saying that she and her aunt didn't resemble each other at all.
She just didn't want her to have any relationship with her aunt.
Or rather, she didn't want her grandfather to find her aunt at all.
As for the reason, it was probably because of her dark and selfish desires that even she didn't want to face.
Hearing that her words didn't seem like it, Ye Xi's beating heart went back to its original place. He looked at Lan Shan and asked puzzledly, "Your aunt isn't with you two?"
Lan Shan shook his head, "No. I haven't seen my aunt since I was born. "
"Oh." Ye Xi blinked his eyes and nodded.
"Hurry up and eat Sister Ye." Lan Shan said with a smile as he passed the chopsticks back to Ye Xi.
"Yes."
After di
er, Ye Xi left the Lan's Mansion with the excuse that he was going home to catch up with his thesis.
The Lan's Mansion was a bit far from the city, so Ye Xi didn't see any taxis along the way. He walked for a long time before finally finding a bus stop and waiting for the bus to return to the city.
The cell phone in his bag rang at the right moment.
Ye Xi took out her phone, seeing that it was someone calling, she smiled sweetly and answered, "Hubby."
"Where?" Huo Yaoting's voice was filled with laziness.
"Yes, I'm waiting for the bus." Ye Xi trampled on the rocks at his feet and said honestly.
"Waiting for the bus? Location? " Huo Yaoting asked solemnly.
Ye Xi could even imagine someone frowning.
She smiled lightly and said, "Hubby, I'll be back on the bus soon."
"I'll pick you up."
Following his elegant voice, Ye Xi heard faint footsteps.
"Hubby, don't, just wait for me at home. The car is coming." Ye Xi immediately said.
"I'm going downstairs. Send me the address." When he finished speaking, he did not give Ye Xi a chance to speak and directly hung up.
Ye Xi sighed, his heart was sweet and helpless, he could only send him the general location.
Half an hour later, a black Maybach with a respectful appearance slid in front of Ye Xi, and from the window, a handsome face peeked out, "Get in."
Ye Xi pursed his lips, then ran to the car on the other side.
As soon as she sat down, someone leaned over and fastened her seat belt.
Ye Xi emotionally hugged onto his neck, and kissed him on the cheek, "Thank you, husband."
Huo Yaoting's expression turned a little darker as he rubbed her head, "What friend are you living so far away from me?"
As he spoke, he looked out.
In front of him, was Lan's Mansion!
"It's the girl from primary school who went to C City to participate in the competition." Ye Xi said.
"Yes." Huo Yaoting kissed her on the corner of her lips, sat straight up, and then drove away.
In the car, Ye Xi leaned his head against the chair, his big eyes looked at the handsome and calm man beside him, and asked with concern, "Hubby, have you eaten di
er?"
Huo Yaoting nodded, "Yes."
"Hehe, what is Aunt Liu cooking tonight?" Ye Xi had nothing to say, so he looked for words to say.
"I didn't eat at home." Huo Yaoting glanced at her. Even though it was just a glance, his eyes were absolutely gentle. "You're not at home, I don't want to go back."
"You didn't go back after work?" Ye Xi asked with a reddened face.
Huo Yaoting did not say anything, but the look on his face tacitly acknowledged it.
Ye Xi's eyes shone brightly. She was clearly very happy, but she let out a disbelieving snort from her small nose, and purposely told him, "Hubby, if I have to travel errands in the future and I'm not home for a lot of days, won't you go back?"
