Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 934: Chapter 556-557: An Incident (Part 4)

Ye Xuan lightly coughed, "Ye’er, can’t we talk after eating?"

Luo Ye snorted, "No way!"

"Brother-in-law," Wen Yan softly called out, seeing Ye Xuan turn to him, then blinked, "It’s okay, go ahead."

"Xiao Yan!" Old Mrs. Wen slapped him and shouted at Luo Ye, "Ye’er, go easy on him."

"What happened?" Mr. Wen asked with a puzzled expression.

Old Mrs. Wen glanced at him and said leisurely, "The matter between Prison Director Li Jingsong and Captain Bai Xue, don’t tell me you don’t know."

Mr. Wen shook his head, "I really don’t know. What, Xiao Xuan took them down? Good, well done, truly my great grandson-in-law!"

"Oh, you!" Elderly Mrs. Bai pointed at him, recounting the experience at the Bai family this morning. When she finished, Mr. Wen sighed, "I didn’t expect that all these years we’ve misunderstood brother, he really has it tough."

Old Mrs. Wen wiped her eyes, "Yes, seeing him like that today, I truly felt heartbroken."

Mr. Wen patted her shoulder in comfort, "Alright, we can visit him when we have time, I’ll go with you. Even if his wife doesn’t welcome us, it’s okay, at our age, there’s nothing we can’t get over, right?"

"Son-in-law, we will go too," Ah Hua quickly said.

"Alright, all of us together," Mr. Wen agreed, then furrowed his brow for a while, eventually relaxing, "Forget it, just said at our age there’s no point worrying, yet I’m going in circles, no more thinking."

Old Mrs. Wen thought for a moment, understanding, "Old man, are you worried his wife might think we’re visiting the Bai family to demand our assets back?"

"There’s that worry, but whatever, she can say whatever she wants," Mr. Wen said, getting serious, "But I want to know, if brother really insists on giving you the money, what will you do?"

Old Mrs. Wen shook her head, "I haven’t thought about it, it’s too sudden."

"Well, think it over," Mr. Wen sighed, "Brother has competed with me for so many years, I know his temperament a bit. Although he’s a bit jealous and competitive, he’s extremely trustworthy. Since he said it, this won’t change."

Upstairs, Ye Xuan looked at Luo Ye with a apologetic smile, "Ye’er, I haven’t had the chance to tell you, actually, I planned to inform you tonight after you returned..."

Luo Ye glanced at him, "Alright, don’t make excuses, didn’t you have time yesterday?"

Ye Xuan looked innocently, "When was there time? Wanted to talk nicely, but was interrupted by Little Pumpkin, then Wen Ke kept holding on to you, couldn’t say it in front of everyone, right?"

"Really?" Luo Ye looked at him half-skeptically, "If I didn’t ask, would you really tell me? Sure? No lying?"

Ye Xuan raised his hand to solemnly swear, "Absolutely true, if you don’t believe me, who else in this world can you trust?"

"Bah!" Luo Ye rolled his eyes at him, "Besides you, there’s my dad, mom, grandpa, brother, grandma, grandpa, uncle... Xing Nongyu, Nuoying Guang, Luo Lianqu Yue, and so on, I have plenty of people I can trust!"

"Alright, alright, this just shows our Ye’er has great connections, having so many trustworthy friends besides family," Ye Xuan said, then with a serious look, "Ye’er, after attending little uncle’s engagement banquet tomorrow, I’ll return to the island to handle the handover, anything you want to say to me?"

Luo Ye looked at him skeptically, "You’re only going for half a month, need to be so serious? Wait, I fell for it again, still haven’t explained why you did that, can’t change the topic."

Ye Xuan pulled him into an embrace and sat on the sofa, "What’s there to explain? Even a clay figure has some temper, my little wife was bullied, can’t I be worse than a clay figure?"

"Who’s your little wife?" Luo Ye twisted, trying to pinch him, but felt something unusual underneath, quickly stopped, embarrassed and unsure how to react.

"Ye’er..." His warm breath blew on her neck as his face pressed close, gently rubbing her hair at the temple, voice hoarse, "When I return, I’ll always protect you."

Luo Ye turned to look at him seriously, "Have you really decided?"

"Yes," Ye Xuan laughed softly, "I’ve discussed with General Xia, he scolded me thoroughly but also helped figure out solutions. The final decision is, my military status will be retained for a year, and if I adapt to civilian work, I’ll transfer directly, otherwise, I’ll return to the army."

"You definitely didn’t agree."

"Ye’er really understands me," Ye Xuan exhaled deeply, "Since decided, then must go all out, leaving myself this way out, might be used against me someday. I don’t want General Xia to be put in a passive position, nor do I want myself in such a position!"

Luo Ye thought for a moment, looking at him with clear eyes, "When you return, I’ll tell you my decision too."

"Your decision?" Ye Xuan’s gaze deepened, "Ye’er, I really hope you don’t change your mind under pressure from elders."

Luo Ye looked seriously at him, "Don’t worry, I won’t wrong myself, I’ll think carefully about this matter."

"Good, now I’m relieved," Ye Xuan gently smiled, "Of course I’d rather marry Ye’er sooner, but I can’t be that selfish. Ye’er just needs to remember, no matter what decision you make, I support you, I’m on your side. For difficult things, you have me, alright?"

Luo Ye sweetly replied, "Got it."

"Ye’er..."

"Hmm?"

"Ye’er..."

"What’s wrong?" Luo Ye looked up, seeing the heat in his eyes, her cheeks instantly blushed red as she hesitated, closing her eyes lightly.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

A knock sounded while Wen Yan’s anxious voice came, "Ye’er, Ye Xuan, quickly come downstairs, Uncle Grandpa is in trouble!"

Oh, those two unlucky kids, trying to get cozy, why is it so difficult?
