Complaining was of no use; in the Ye Family, one could only learn to be independent. There was never a chance to act spoiled. In fact, she should be grateful to the Ye Family for shaping her early independence.
This child was always polite. Compared to Ye Qi, she was well-behaved and sensible, never making any demands. This left Ye Tao unsure of how to interact with her, especially since she resembled Zhou Yi so much.
“Xiao Ya, your grandfather wants you to come back. It’s just for a meal. Can you do this for me? I’m asking you as your father.”
Ye Ya took a deep breath, astonished that her father was actually pleading with her. “Dad, do you really want me to come back? I’ll only embarrass the Ye Family.”
Who didn’t know about Ye Ya being rejected by the Jing Family? Who didn’t know that the Ye Family had severed ties with her? Who didn’t know she was an unrestrained woman who became pregnant before marriage? Was someone like her suitable to return to the Ye Family?
“Xiao Ya, you will always be my daughter. It’s only natural for you to come back to the Ye Family. Your father misses you too.”
Ye Ya had never heard such words before; it would be a lie to say she wasn’t moved. People were like that; perhaps it was just an ordinary thing, but for her, it felt incredibly precious.
“Okay, Dad. I’ll come back on Grandpa’s birthday.”
After hanging up the phone, Ye Ya didn’t know what to think. She couldn’t find a reason to refuse. No matter how things were in the Ye Family, she wouldn’t blame anyone; after all, she had no mother.
So for Chen Chen, her most beloved treasure, she vowed to ensure her happiness.
That night, Lu Tianyang had originally planned to rush back and have dinner with her, but he had an important engagement he couldn’t miss. Qi Fan often joked about him, calling him henpecked, which left Lu Tianyang feeling frustrated. After all, Ye Ya wasn’t even his wife yet; he wished she would care about him more.
After finishing his social obligations, it was already past eleven o’clock. Lu Tianyang thought that both the child and Ye Ya should be asleep by now, so he entered the house cautiously.
To his surprise, there was still light coming from the desk lamp in the room. The woman was focused on typing away at her computer. As Lu Tianyang approached and took a glance, Ye Ya blocked his view. “What are you looking at? Business secrets!”
Lu Tianyang raised an eyebrow and couldn’t help but chuckle. “Alright, I won’t look anymore. I didn’t expect my wife to be so business-savvy; I’m so lucky!”
“Pfft! Who’s your wife? You jerk! Aren’t you afraid your alcohol breath will bother Chen Chen?” Ye Ya said as she pushed him out of the room.
Lu Tianyang did not resist, allowing her to push him. Suddenly, the woman asked, “Lu Tianyang, did you drive here yourself?”
“Yeah,” Lu Tianyang replied honestly, puzzled by her question.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ya kicked at him. “Are you crazy? Didn’t your teacher teach you that you shouldn’t drink and drive? Get lost; I don’t want to see you.”
How could he even think of driving after drinking? That idiot must be looking for trouble. Ye Ya was too lazy to look at him anymore; she didn’t want him stinking up her house.
Just as she turned away, a pair of large hands wrapped around her waist, and a voice filled with surprise said, “Xiao Ya, are you worried about me? That makes me really happy.”
“Idiot, who’s worried about you? Don’t get ahead of yourself. Let go; you’re suffocating me.” Ye Ya forcefully pried his fingers apart. Could this man be any more narcissistic? Who cared about him?
“Are you afraid I’ll get into an accident while driving? Don’t worry; I’m a good driver,” Lu Tianyang said with some pride.
Ye Ya turned around and shot him an angry glare. “Who’s worried about you? Who’s afraid you’ll get into an accident? It’d be better if you died; it would save me from feeling annoyed just looking at you.”
Lu Tianyang wasn’t angry; he was already used to this woman’s sharp tongue and soft heart.
“Wife, I promise I won’t drive after drinking next time. Is that okay? Don’t be mad; I’ll go take a shower right now.”
Watching his retreating figure as he walked into the bathroom, Ye Ya gritted her teeth. This man was simply shameless—he was the very definition of shamelessness.
Was she inviting trouble into her home? Even if she changed the locks, this man would find a way to get a key to her house. Ye Ya shook her head helplessly. What had she done to deserve this? She had always lived a proper life, but one misstep had led to endless regret.
Once in the bathroom, Lu Tianyang realized he hadn’t brought any pajamas with him because Ye Ya had pushed him straight into the room. With no other choice, he wrapped a towel around himself and stepped out.
As soon as he entered the room, Ye Ya was furious. What was this man thinking coming out like that? If it weren’t for the concern of waking Chen Chen, she would have yelled at him; it was just too ridiculous.
“Lu Tianyang, are you sick? Why aren’t you wearing any clothes? Get out!” Ye Ya was genuinely angry; seeing this man made everything about him irksome. As long as he was in this house, she felt uncomfortable.
“Xiao Ya, I forgot to grab my clothes,” Lu Tianyang said, not intentionally trying to provoke her. After taking a shower, his mind felt much clearer.
Ye Ya didn’t care about the details; she just wanted to push him out. In the struggle, the towel around Lu Tianyang slipped off. His physique was impressive, but she wasn’t interested. Besides, her face wasn’t as thick-skinned as his.
“You, you, you shameless man!” Ye Ya pushed him away, unable to look at him any longer, and quickly ran out of the living room.
Lu Tianyang sighed and hurriedly picked up the towel, retreating to his room to put on a set of pajamas. Looking at the soft bed, he imagined how wonderful it would feel to sleep on it.
As that thought crossed his mind, he found himself lying down. The bed was incredibly comfortable, still carrying Ye Ya’s scent. She never liked heavily perfumed cosmetics; her fragrance was always natural and refreshing. Lu Tianyang felt his eyelids growing heavier. He had intended to call her back but ended up falling asleep instead.
Ye Ya had been on the balcony for over ten minutes, thinking that the jerk should have put on his clothes by now. If he hadn’t, she contemplated grabbing a big knife from the kitchen to deal with him.
To her surprise, when she entered the room, she found him fast asleep on her bed, sprawled out in an utterly unrefined manner. Was this man really the dashing President Lu?
Ye Ya stood by the bed with her arms crossed. What was she supposed to do now? He looked genuinely asleep; could she really let him take over her bed? Damn it, Ye Ya fumed.
After a moment of thought, she grabbed a pillow and headed to the living room. The bedroom door was unlocked, and she could hear Chen Chen moving around.
Lu Tianyang was indeed exhausted; he had only meant to rest for a moment but ended up sleeping soundly on Ye Ya’s bed.
After a while, Lu Tianyang woke up and glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table—it was already past two in the morning. He turned over but didn’t see Ye Ya anywhere; Chen Chen was lost in her dreams.
Getting out of bed and looking around the room yielded no sign of Ye Ya. He stepped outside and found her sleeping on the sofa.
Lu Tianyang felt incredibly frustrated. Why would this woman rather sleep on the sofa than beside him? He hadn’t planned anything untoward; did she really need to be this afraid of him? Sooner or later, she would have to marry him anyway.
Looking at her sleeping soundly on the sofa, he couldn’t help himself and picked her up. Ye Ya had some martial arts training and instinctively kicked out at him.
Have you ever seen a woman who can kick so vigorously even while sleeping? Lu Tianyang almost got kicked out.
At this moment, Ye Ya was fully awake. Rubbing her eyes, she finally recognized the man standing in front of her. "Hey, what do you want at this hour? Don’t think I’m afraid of you."
"Ye Ya, do you really think I would harm you? Don’t worry, I promise not to touch a single hair on your head. Just go back to sleep," Lu Tianyang replied, his temper flaring. This woman always treated him like a thief; every man has his pride, and besides, was he really that bad?
"Who knows? You can't even trust your words with punctuation."
Suddenly, Lu Tianyang stood up from the sofa, a strange smile playing on his lips as he stepped closer to Ye Ya. "Oh, since you say that, if I don’t do something else, wouldn’t that be letting myself down?"
Ye Ya looked at him as if he were a hungry wolf, fearing he might suddenly kiss her. She quickly held her ground with both hands to prevent him from getting any closer. "Lu Tianyang, don’t be so shameless."
"Alright, just go to sleep already and stop causing a fuss." Lu Tianyang reached out effortlessly and ruffled her hair, as if soothing a disobedient puppy.
However, a wise woman doesn’t fall for such tricks. Ye Ya didn’t want to continue their banter because she realized that despite his seemingly lackluster appearance, she was genuinely no match for him in a fight. As a black belt in Taekwondo, this was quite embarrassing for her.
Once back in her room, Ye Ya locked the door immediately. Inside, she felt somewhat frustrated. How long would this back-and-forth with Lu Tianyang go on? She had initially thought he was just a fleeting interest, but judging by his demeanor, it seemed he was genuinely determined to marry her.
Thinking about returning to the Ye Family in a few days made her head ache. She could already imagine the cold stares and sarcastic remarks awaiting her.
In recent days, Lu Tianyang had been coming home late almost every day. If he couldn’t return, he would even call to explain himself. Ye Ya felt quite annoyed; even if he didn’t come back, what did it have to do with her?
Before she knew it, it was Ye Zhen’s birthday. Naturally, Lu Tianyang received an invitation from the Ye Family as well. Ye Qi had been eagerly hoping for Lu Tianyang's presence; she personally delivered the invitation.
Lu Tianyang didn’t have much fondness for the Ye Family. He recalled how they had publicly severed ties with Ye Ya when she was in trouble.
"Lu Tianyang, you must come for grandpa's birthday! I’ll be waiting for you at home." It had been quite some time since Ye Qi last saw Lu Tianyang, but her enthusiasm for him hadn’t waned at all.
"Let's talk about it later," Lu Tianyang dismissed Ye Qi, casually tossing the invitation aside.
Meanwhile, Ye Ya was troubled over what gift to bring for her grandfather. If it was something ordinary, he wouldn't appreciate it, but if it was too extravagant, she couldn't afford it. At that moment, Ye Ya recalled the Golden Peach of Longevity that she had given to Chen Chen for her birthday. But upon further reflection, that was a gift meant for Chen Chen; how could she pass it on to her grandfather?
As she walked through the mall, Ye Ya was at a loss for what to choose as a gift, so much so that she didn't even hear her phone ringing in her bag.
Lu Tianyang rubbed his temples in frustration. Why wasn't this woman answering her phone? He then dialed Guo Ma's number. Guo Ma had just finished coaxing Chen Chen to drink some formula and wiped the sweat from her brow. "Hello, Young Master."
"Guo Ma, where's Lady?"
Chen Chen wasn't fond of formula milk, but sometimes when Ye Ya didn't have enough milk, she had no choice but to give her a little. Guo Ma replied, "Lady went to buy a gift. She said it's for her grandfather's birthday."
"Oh, alright. Take good care of Chen Chen." After hanging up, Lu Tianyang picked up the invitation he had tossed aside earlier, his brow lifting slightly. It seemed that woman was indeed planning to return to the Ye Family.
Given how decisively the Ye Family had acted back then, why would she want to go back only to be bullied again? His woman would never be allowed to be mistreated. With that thought in mind, Lu Tianyang took the invitation and set out to prepare a generous gift himself.
Since Ye Ya wanted to go back, he would accompany her. If Ye Ya could forgive the Ye Family, then they would inevitably have dealings in the future.
