"Honeymoon?"
Jiang Ziyu rested her hand on Di Mingjue's forearm and turned to face his chest, tilting her chin up to meet his eyes. "Are you really willing to go to Sijiucheng?"
Sijiucheng and the Imperial Capital were two different cities. Going from a place where one had everything to a place where one had to start anew. He would also have to accompany her and integrate into a new family, facing a group of relatives whose attitudes were unknown.
"Silly, I love you, so I'm willing to follow you wholeheartedly." Di Mingjue lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
What if they had to start over? As long as Jiang Ziyu was by his side, he would find joy even if he had to go through fire and water.
After deciding to go to Sijiucheng, Jiang Ziyu sent a message to Ye Qianzhi.
...
As soon as she landed, her phone was turned on, and she immediately received a message from Jiang Ziyu.
[In ten days, I will bring my family to Sijiucheng to live.]
Ye Shaoting, standing by the car, opened the car door for Ye Qianzhi. He looked back at Ye Qianzhi, who was staring at his phone with a pleased smile. "Dad, is there some good news?"
"In ten days, your sister will come to Sijiucheng to live with us." Ye Qianzhi put away his phone. The bad mood he had brought back from the Imperial Capital vanished in an instant.
He let out a hearty laugh and got into the car.
Ye Shaoting closed the car door for him, the words he had just spoken echoing in his mind.
She's coming in ten days?
Good. Di Mingjue, we will finally meet!
Ye Shaoting got into the passenger seat with a cool demeanor and instructed the driver to start the car.
Over the course of the night, everyone in the Ye residence, from the masters to the servants, knew that Ye Qianzhi's daughter from outside would be returning in ten days.
As the mistress of the Ye household, Shen Meixiu, in an effort to please Ye Qianzhi, took the lead in directing the servants to prepare a room for the arriving Jiang Ziyu and purchase daily necessities.
A rustling sound filled the air above the Ye residence. Ye Chenhan, yawning, stood on the stairs and looked at the men in grey work clothes.
"Excuse me!"
Ye Chenhan, still groggy from sleep, stepped aside. Several workers carrying furniture and belongings passed by him.
After they entered the guest room at the end of the corridor, he looked back at Shen Meixiu, who was busily directing the servants downstairs. "Mom, what are you doing?"
Shen Meixiu, with her hands full, responded perfunctorily without turning her head, "Your sister."
"Sister?" Ye Chenhan suddenly remembered. He rushed downstairs and stood before Shen Meixiu. "My dad's illegitimate daughter, Jiang Ziyu? Is she really coming back? I thought she didn't want to come."
"Don't use the words 'illegitimate daughter' again. Think before you speak!" Shen Meixiu slapped Ye Chenhan on the back, warning him sternly.
Ye Chenhan playfully hugged Shen Meixiu's shoulders. "I know."
"Aren't you going to the company today?" Shen Meixiu glanced at the time.
At this hour, he should have been at the company.
He had gone out drinking last night and was unaware of the information Ye Qianzhi had brought back. He returned home half-drunk in the middle of the night and slept until now.
Ye Chenhan released her and scratched his messy hair. "I'll go now."
He turned and fled upstairs.
Throughout the day, Shen Meixiu prepared a good room for Jiang Ziyu. After pleasing Ye Qianzhi, she then pouted and went to find Old Mrs. Ye.
The Ye Family Old Residence.
Old Mrs. Ye sat in the courtyard, listening to music and tending to the flowers and plants.
"Mom." Shen Meixiu placed the health supplements and fruits on the stone table. She rolled up her sleeves and went to Old Mrs. Ye's side, picking up the watering can from the ground.
Old Mrs. Ye glanced back, then continued to trim the withered leaves with her clippers. "I heard Qianzhi found the child of that woman?"
"Yes," Shen Meixiu nodded. "She'll be here in a week."
Old Mrs. Ye paused, then dropped the clippers onto the stone table with a snap. "Foolish! How can an illegitimate person become a member of the Ye family!"
