In these 16 years, ever since Ye Yanxi was 5 years old, Ye Junze had raised her and treated her like her own daughter. Now, this daughter of her who was so sensible that it would make one's heart ache was actually going to return to her true home.

”I'm glad you think so.” With that, Yan Zhen stood up with a smile on her face.

”However, I have another request.” Ye Junze stood up, too, and spoke in a somewhat anxious tone.

”What request?”

”Can you please don't immediately bring her away and leave her here for lunch? I want to hear her call me daddy a few more times. After all …” Ye Junze's eyes were a little unwilling to part with her, but there was a trace of loneliness in them. ”From now on, she may …” you won't recognize me again. ”

”Lil 'Ye will not do that to you, she's a kind child.” Yan Zhen gently smiled.

”Then you can come pick her up in the afternoon. Is that okay?” Ye Junze's voice had a hint of a begging tone.

Looking at Ye Junze's slightly graying hair, Yan Zhen lowered her eyes. Ye Junze had raised Ye Yanxi for so many years, so it wouldn't be too much if they spent a whole afternoon together.

Thus, Yan Zhen had no reason to reject Ye Junze's request.

And part of the reason was that she was more or less grateful to Ye Junze. If he hadn't adopted Lil 'Ye, perhaps she wouldn't have been able to see this granddaughter of hers.

After some consideration, Yan Zhen readily agreed to Ye Junze's request, ”Okay, then it's a deal, I will come back in the afternoon.”

Ye Junze's eyes lit up, and he quickly revealed a smile, repeatedly thanking his, ”Aunty, don't worry. When you come over in the afternoon, I will persuade Xiaoxi to go with you. Thank you.”

Twenty years ago, Yan Zhen had always been high and mighty in Ye Junze's eyes. Now, facing Ye Junze, Yan Zhen had an indescribable feeling in her heart, and after a long while, she smiled and said, ”You don't have to thank me, but I should thank you instead. Thank you for bringing Little Ye back and allowing her to grow up healthy and healthy.”

Ye Junze could only feel a sour taste in his nose. All these years, this was the first time he had received Yan Zhen's acknowledgement.

Ye Junze couldn't help but feel a little agitated as he repeated, ”That's how it should be. That's how it should be.”

”Alright, then it's decided. I won't disturb your reunion any longer.” With that, Yan Zhen pushed open the door and walked downstairs.

”I'll send you off.”

Ye Junze immediately followed behind her and opened the door for Yan Zhen. It wasn't until she got on the car and watched as it drove off into the distance that her heart finally settled down.

It was just that his expression was a little desolate, and his heart was empty.

From today onwards, perhaps... Ye Yan Xi wouldn't call him father anymore. Thinking of this, he felt a bit sad.

”Dad, are you alright?” Ye Yan Xi's worried voice came from behind.

Ye Junze immediately had a happy expression on his face as he turned around, looking at Ye Yanxi's somewhat worried expression.

Ye Yanxi's beautiful appearance caused Ye Junze to be a bit absent-minded. He thought that he had seen Jiang Xianzi when he was young, but the phantom quickly disappeared. Now that everything was settled, it was just the past.

He gently looked at Ye Yanxi and walked through the door, ”It's fine, do you still have the fruits you just sliced? I suddenly want to eat again. ”

”Alright, if you want to eat it, I'll go get it for you right away.” Ye Yan Xi happily agreed and immediately walked out of the kitchen. When she came out, she took out a piece of watermelon from the fruit plate and handed it to Ye Junze.

The juice of the watermelon was very sweet. With every bite, he felt the sweetness reach his heart. Ye Junze felt that this was a sweetness he had never felt before … Perhaps from now on it would be difficult to eat such delicious watermelon.

At noon, the servant had finished cooking. After serving the food, Ye Junze suddenly stood up and took out a bottle of red wine. This was the wine that he had stored for many years.

Ye Junze smiled as he brought out three wine cups. He placed them in front of Ye Yanxi and Ye Minghao's cool and hot cups and poured them with wine.

Looking at Ye Junze's series of actions, Ye Yanxi frowned, and unhappily said, ”Dad, how is your body? Did the doctor say we could drink? ”

Ye Junze was still smiling as he said, ”Are you happy today? When your daughter comes back to see me, I'll make an exception. Besides, I feel that I've been feeling pretty good recently. Don't drink so much, it's fine.”
