"Oh my, eighteen years old, three years younger than Ateng, just right."
He Junting, who had just come back from his morning run, heard his mother say this as soon as he entered the door, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Seeing his mother wanted to say something more, He Junting immediately said, "Ahem, Mom, it's time to eat."
Xu Wanwan had seen him come in when He Junting entered the door. Hearing him speak, she felt relieved.
Phew~ He came at just the right time. Auntie is too enthusiastic. I didn't know how to deal with it for a while...
Hearing her son's words, Bai Mengtao turned to look at him and saw him covered in sweat. She complained, "You kid, hurry up and take a shower, don't stink up Wanwan."
He Junting: ...He's not stinky!
Xu Wanwan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He Junting glanced at her and went upstairs.
Bai Mengtao took Xu Wanwan's hand and smiled, "Ateng is a bit cold, he has been like this since he was a child, don't take it to heart Wanwan."
Xu Wanwan shook her head awkwardly, "No...no Auntie, Senior Ateng...he's nice."
Bai Mengtao liked Xu Wanwan more and more as she looked at her. "Good girl, being with our Ateng must have inconvenienced you."
Xu Wanwan's eyes widened, only then did she understand that Auntie had misunderstood their relationship.
She quickly explained, "It's not like that, Auntie. Senior and I are not in that kind of relationship..."
Bai Mengtao patted Xu Wanwan's hand and teased, "Okay, okay, I understand."
Xu Wanwan: ...
At this time, He Yuanghao, who had been sitting silently next to him, stood up and said, "Alright, let's eat breakfast. Don't wait for that stinky kid."
"Yes, yes, yes, Wanwan must be hungry. I don't know what you like to eat. I've asked the kitchen to prepare a few more breakfast options. Eat whatever you like."
...
Ye Family Old House.
"Dad, when are we leaving?" Ye Jinmeng whispered in Ye Junli's ear.
"What? Want to go home already? Don’t you want to stay with your grandparents for a few more days?" Ye Junli also asked in a low voice.
"No, I just have something to do and want to go back." In addition to missing Wanwan, I also want to get away from Uncle as soon as possible.
Ye Junli smiled. His little daughter is growing up and has her own little secrets now.
"Okay, I'll let your grandparents know now." Ye Junli winked at Ye Jinmeng.
Ye Jinmeng cheered in her heart, "Yay!"
"Dad, Mom, we'll go back first since there's nothing to do. We’ll come see you again next time." Ye Junli said formally to the old master and old madam.
"You're leaving already? Why not stay for a few more days? You don't have work during this vacation either." Old Master Ye looked very unhappy.
"Ahem, I promised Mengmeng before that we would go to the resort together during the National Day holiday. Why don't you come along too, Dad and Mom?" I did make this promise to Mengmeng before.
Only then did Old Master Ye's face look a little better. "Since you promised your good girl, you must go. We won't crash the party with you youngsters."
Ye Jinmeng immediately went to sit next to her grandparents to coax them. "Grandpa and Grandma, I love you and will come see you often."
Old Master Ye was all smiles immediately. "Good girl, go have fun out there!"
Ye Junwen pushed his glasses up and his eyes were obscure as he looked at Old Master Ye. "Dad, I want to go to the resort with Eldest Brother and them too."
Ye Jinmeng's body stiffened as she silently prayed for her dad or grandpa not to agree.
But Ye Junli treated this younger brother like he treated his own children, and said, "Sure, you can come back with us then."
Since his Eldest son had no objections, Old Master Ye naturally agreed too. It was good for Second Son to hang out with the youngsters instead of just staying with the two elders when he barely talked.
"Alright, go back with your Eldest Brother then. It's just as well, your mother and I should have some alone time too, haha!"
Old Madam Ye glared at him. "Always so indecent!"
Ye Jinmeng felt like crying, but had to force a smile to show her welcome.
Ye Junwen took in all of Ye Jinmeng's expressions, his eyes growing darker.
Ye Jinchen, however, frowned. He wondered: What exactly does Uncle plan to do?
When they left, Ye Junli drove the car they came in, with his wife and daughter, plus a bunch of gifts that the seniors had bought overseas for their grandkids. Ye Junwen drove his own car, with Ye Jinchen, and so the family left the old house.
Ye Jinmeng lay helpless in the backseat the whole ride.
When she was little, Ye Jinmeng had quite liked Uncle Ye Junwen. Later, she didn't know why, but every time Uncle looked at her, his gaze made her very uncomfortable.
In fact, Ye Junwen hadn't done anything to harm Ye Jinmeng. On the contrary, he doted on her like her dad did. But Ye Jinmeng just wanted to stay away from this person.
Later, she overheard Ye Junwen yelling at Ye Jinchen, "I hate you, I wish I could kill you!" So Ye Jinmeng believed that the sinister look in Uncle's eyes meant he was plotting to kill her and her brother.
Over time, this led to how things were now.
Ye Jinmeng felt like crying. A perfectly good vacation, how was she supposed to properly enjoy herself now? Wuwuwu...
The atmosphere was bizarre in the other car.
Ye Junwen looked at Ye Jinchen in the rearview mirror, the corner of his mouth hooking up slightly. "What's wrong, Nephew? Not happy to have this uncle join you?"
Ye Jinchen looked up, his voice low. "I wouldn't dare."
Ye Junwen sneered. This nephew really was as annoying as ever.
Ever since he was little, Ye Junwen had lived in Ye Jinchen's glorious shadow. No matter how hard he tried, others would only see him as inferior to Ye Jinchen. So he really resented this nephew.
"Uncle, what exactly are you planning?" Ye Jinchen suddenly asked.
Ye Junwen was only startled for a moment before he awkwardly laughed. "Oh? What plans could I have? I just want to vacation with you guys."
Ye Jinchen definitely didn't believe Ye Junwen truly wanted to vacation with them.
"Don't worry Nephew, after the vacation I still have to go to the company and learn from you. Getting used to each other early when we'll be spending a lot more days together in the future."
