Chapter 2102: Not Her Only Exception

Xu Shu immediately turned his gaze to Ye Wanting, the little girl with a shattered look, biting her lip, glaring, ready to cry at the slightest relaxation.

Yaen Chi had never been so flustered before, he blurted out in explanation: “That’s not what I meant, she’s shouting nonsense, her husband even calls me grandpa.”

He didn’t even have his explanation straight, that sentence sounded like a joke to anyone who heard it.

Ye Wanting’s expression was complex, “She still has a husband…”

“No…”

Yaen Chi caught her words first, his voice came out before his brain started working, suddenly stunned, incredulous, “Just playing around! I went out this time for a task, it’s quite chaotic, details are inconvenient to disclose, I’ll tell you later.”

Later.

That meant he hadn’t made up the lie yet.

Ye Wanting was puzzled, she was quite sad, but only because she felt it was due to the shout of “brother” from another woman’s mouth.

Over time, from initial reservation to now, she could naturally regard Yaen Chi as a brother, even her roommates misunderstood, she didn’t explain, and in her heart, she accepted this sibling-like relationship with no blood ties, after all, Yaen Chi had always taken care of her, in some way, compensating for the harm her real brother caused her.

But suddenly she realized that the term “brother” was not a privilege reserved just for her.

Yaen Chi’s panicked appearance confused her, but she felt perhaps it was excessive, especially since he twice attempted to hold her hand in front of so many people, which was truly crossing the line.

“Wanting?” Yaen Chi waved his hand in front of her, “Girl?”

Ye Wanting jolted, returning to her senses, her scattered eyes focusing bit by bit, she looked down, “A task, right, I came at the wrong time today, well then… Mr. Yaen, you’re busy, I’ll find another time to visit you.”

Mr. Yaen?

Did she call him that?

Yaen Chi’s brows furrowed deeply, his eyes fixated on the little girl trying to escape, he commanded sternly: “Stand right there!”

Ye Wanting was frightened and really did stop, but didn’t turn back.

Yaen Chi was truly angry, the previously noisy room suddenly fell silent, even the woman’s cries were stifled.

He rubbed his brow, glaring coldly at Li Jian, “Not leaving?”

Li Jian opened his mouth, unable to utter a word, he feared truly angering this ancestor, he had gone too far today, he had to clean up afterward.

“Why is the door open, isn’t that kid severely injured, with today’s strong wind, aren’t you afraid he’d be knocked over by the wind with his frail body?”

The door was kicked open.

Previously kicked by Li Jian, the door bounced back half-closed, now another person came and kicked it against the wall.

Bo Yuman standing at the door, arms full of gifts, her toe held the door, she looked inside, “So many people, not a sound, I thought no one was here, what are you doing, playing dead?”

Li Jian closed his eyes.

Trouble.

Another ancestor arrived.

Xu Shu, being near the door, instinctively went to take the items from Bo Yuman’s hands, “Second sister, why did you come?”

“Ask Bo Yanching, he calls at least twice a day urging me to come to the hospital to take care of Yaen Chi. I was previously tied up, finally managed to free up an afternoon, two new recruits messed up during training, had to rush back and deal with it, and now I’m delayed till this time.”

Xu Shu thought, Yaen Chi may not be eager to see you, she’s part of the third troop, Li Jian wouldn’t find it hard to reach her, but the gesture seemed too small to truly hold her back.
