Jiang Lili looked at Ye Jiayan's back and unconsciously touched his lips.

His kiss mixed with the smell of smoke obviously had a certain emotion.

She didn't know him enough, and couldn't feel how complicated his emotions were at that moment.

But she could see the wound in his heart.

Seeing Ye Jiayan and Jiang Lili come down, Mei Yinglan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Jiayan, Lili, you have dinner with grandpa before going back?" She had not sat on the same dining table with Ye Jiayan for a long time.

"Yeah!" Jiang Lili nodded, "Mom, if you have nothing to do in the afternoon, stay here to have dinner together?"

"Okay." Mei Yinglan looked at Ye Jiayan carefully, "I have time!"

Jiang Lili looked at her watch and said, "I'll go cook."

Mei Yinglan hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll help you."

Jiang Lili knew that Mei Yinglan had been pampering since she was a child and did not touch the spring water, and said, "It's enough for me and my aunt to be fine. You can chat with grandpa and the others."

Ye Jiayan wanted to say something, but grandpa suddenly said, "Jiayan, tell me about the company's situation."

"……good."

Jiang Lili could see that Ye Jiayan was going to the kitchen with her. He didn't know how to cook, but just wanted to find an excuse to avoid Mei Yinglan.

Grandpa saw through his thoughts and kept him.

Jiang Lili took the opportunity to sneak into the kitchen and prepared supper with her aunt.

During the meal, Mei Yinglan kept praising Jiang Lili for her good craftsmanship, saying that Ye Jiayan would definitely be very happy to be able to eat the food she cooked every day.

Jiang Lili could feel that Mei Yinglan was waiting for her to invite her to their house.

She thought about it and pretended not to realize it, saying that she was going to work and rarely cooked.

"Na Jiayan..."

Mei Yinglan knew that Ye Jiayan was very picky and wanted to ask if the food made by the aunt was in line with his appetite.

"What can a big man eat? It's not just the food made by Lili to feed him." Grandpa said while drinking soup, "Since Lili is going to work, he must have made up his mind to be an excellent lawyer. Cooking is too delayed by Lili's pursuit of dreams!"

Ye Jiayan used public chopsticks to pick up a chopstick dish for his grandfather, "You are right."

"Lili," Mei Yinglan asked, "Can you still take care of your family when you go to work? Career-oriented women work hard, and they may not handle both work and family affairs in the end."

If a person who answers this kind of question is not answered well, the person who asks the question will be unhappy.

Jiang Lili was thinking about how to deal with it when she heard Ye Jiayan say:

"We have an aunt, and Li Li doesn't need to worry about family affairs."

Mei Yinglan did not object to Jiang Lili going to work, she was just worried that her aunt would not be able to take good care of Ye Jiayan.

Ye Jiayan said this clearly because he protected Jiang Lili and implied that she was meddling in other people's business.

She didn't mean that, she was just worried...

"Aunt Zhang is in our house now." Jiang Lili smiled and said, "Mom, do you still remember Aunt Zhang? She was the aunt who had been taking care of me and cooked deliciously."

"Sister Zhang is going to your house?" Mei Yinglan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll feel relieved."

Jiang Lili gave Mei Yinglan a bowl of soup and asked her to drink more.

"You should drink more, too." Mei Yinglan said, "You have always been too thin."

Jiang Lili smiled and immediately drank half a bowl of soup. Mei Yinglan smiled happily.

After dinner, Mei Yinglan tried to chat with Ye Jiayan. Ye Jiayan's attitude was always lukewarm, and Jiang Lili had to come forward to smooth things over.

Mei Yinglan felt disappointed on the one hand, and on the other hand, she couldn't bear to see Jiang Lili work so hard, so she got up and left.

The old man said he wanted to go out for a walk and asked Ye Jiayan to accompany him.

Jiang Lili guessed that his grandfather had something to say to Ye Jiayan, so he pushed him and said, "You go with grandpa, I will prepare fruits and desserts for you to come back."

The old man was tired of wandering around his own garden and walked along the way to the gate to the villa area.

The bright moonlight was entangled with dim street lights, and the light spreads on the paths in the villa area.

When the wind blew, Ye Jiayan wrapped a scarf for his grandfather and said, "Be careful of catching a cold."

The old man took advantage of the situation and asked: "Jiayan, can't you forgive your mother?"

"..." Ye Jiayan paused and said nothing.

The old man sighed, "Actually, your father and mother..."

"Grandpa," Ye Jiayan interrupted his grandpa, "it's all over."

The old man knew that Ye Jiayan didn't want to mention the past again.

He sighed, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and he signaled Ye Jiayan not to go forward any further.

"Grandpa," Ye Jiayan held his grandpa, "Are you uncomfortable?"

"It doesn't matter," the old man waved his hand and signaled Ye Jiayan not to worry, "It will be like this when it is cold in winter."

"Go back." Ye Jiayan said.

The old man knew his body and did not dare to show off his strength. He turned around and walked back. Every step was extremely difficult.

Ye Jiayan squatted down in front of his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, come up."

The old man looked at Ye Jiayan's broad back, smiled and said, "It seems that in my memory it was not long ago that you were sitting on my shoulder and playing. In this blink of an eye, you are already taller than me and can carry me up. Instead, I am old, really old."

"grandfather……"

The old man patted Ye Jiayan on the shoulder and continued, "But no matter how old I am, I can still walk home from here. Child, get up and walk back with me."

Ye Jiayan understood his grandfather's temperament and said nothing, and helped him walk back slowly.

"Grandpa," Ye Jiayan asked hesitantly, "You want me..."

"Grandpa hopes you make decisions based on your own heart." The old man said, "If you don't want to forgive, don't forgive; if you don't want to contact, don't contact."

Ye Jiayan smiled and said "yes".

Jiang Lili did not persuade him, and grandpa did not force him. They were the people he was closest to.

As soon as Jiang Lili cut the fruit plate and brought it to the living room, she heard something outside. Then she saw Ye Jiayan helping his grandfather back.

Grandpa was obviously in a bad state, so she ran over and held her other hand, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

"Call the doctor to come over," said Ye Jiayan, "I will help my grandfather upstairs."

Jiang Lili didn't ask any more questions, dialed out the family doctor's number, and answered the phone as soon as possible. She told the doctor to come here as soon as possible.

The old man returned to the room, lay down and rested for a while, and his condition improved a lot.

After Jiang Lili called, she walked straight to the bed, holding one of her grandfather's hand, "The doctor has arrived."

"Grandpa is fine." The old man closed his eyes and signaled Jiang Lili to rest assured.

"Yes!" Jiang Lili's face was not filled with sorrow, only a gentle and bright smile, "But let the doctor come over and take a look, it's more reassuring."

The doctor came and said it was because of the weather, so he tried not to go out for a walk in the morning and evening. When there was sun in the afternoon, he could also bask in the sun. He also looked at the old man's medicine, which indicated that sending a new medicine over the day would be helpful to the old man's condition.

"Old Master Ye," the doctor held the old man's hand, "You have a good rest, I'll come to see you tomorrow."

"Thank you for your hard work." The old man signaled Ye Jiayan, "Send the doctor."

When he arrived at the door, Ye Jiayan called the doctor. The doctor seemed to know what he was thinking, and said:

"You can rest assured for the time being that the old man is in good health." The doctor reminded, "However, you still have to take care of yourself. It is best to have people around you all the time to avoid any accidents."

Ye Jiayan said that he remembered it. After seeing the doctor off, he turned around and walked upstairs.

Jiang Lili sat by the bed and was studying for her grandfather.

The old man is a science student, but he loves reading. Most of the study is full of literary books. Jiang Lili is reading a collection of short stories for him.

The words were arranged in beautiful sentences, which escaped from Jiang Lili's lips. The old man was fascinated by the sound, but in the end he couldn't resist the fatigue and fell asleep soon.

Jiang Lili closed the book and tucked the quilt for her grandfather.

When she got up, she found that Ye Jiayan was standing behind him, signaling him not to speak, and said, "Let's go out."

When he arrived outside the door, Jiang Lili asked, "What do you think?"

"Don't worry." Ye Jiayan repeated the doctor's words, "Grandpa will not be in trouble for the time being."

Ye Jiayan is more serious than anyone else in grandpa's affairs, so Jiang Lili did not doubt that Ye Jiayan was comforting her, and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

"I want to stay and wait for the family doctor to come tomorrow." Ye Jiayan looked at Jiang Lili, "You go back alone..."

"I want to stay, too." Jiang Lili said, "Anyway, I have clothes to change."

Ye Jiayan grew up in this house. Even now that he has moved out, his grandfather has kept his room for him. Jiang Lili also put some changing clothes here according to the seasons in case of emergency.

Ye Jiayan looked at Jiang Lili deeply, "Are you sure?"

"Confirm!" Jiang Lili said without hesitation, "What's uncertain about?"

Before returning to the room, Jiang Lili quietly slipped to his grandfather's room and took the short story back to read it.
