At night, Chen Ye and Yan Yunchuan slept together. Their relationship was now tacit and there was no need to find excuses. Sleeping in the same bed was a matter of course.

The moon rose in the sky, watching everything silently, and the moonlight sprinkled down, illuminating the silence.

Yan Yunchuan was sitting in a rocking chair on the balcony, a half-smoked cigarette between his slender fingers. The scarlet firelight was the only bright color in the night.

In order to prevent the smell of smoke from drifting into the house, Yan Yunchuan pulled and closed the door. Through the transparent glass door, he could clearly see Chen Ye sleeping soundly on the bed.

The boy had fair cheeks and soft bangs that hung obediently on his forehead. Although he was an adult, he still looked childish. The soul in his body was also pure and smart, and it captured Yan Yunchuan's heart unknowingly.

It’s a pity that Yan Yunchuan knew that the boy’s feelings for him were based on gratitude. If it weren’t for that vague and misplaced memory, Chen would not have been able to get close to him, nor would he have allowed him to kiss him.

He began to feel a little regretful. Why couldn't he be as kind as Wen Zeyu and rescue the child from the fire? If he had been the one to save the child, he would have been able to accept the boy's dependence and closeness with peace of mind.

Feeling a tingling pain at his fingertips, Yan Yunchuan threw the burnt-out cigarette into the trash can.

A fierce look flashed across his eyes. Even if it wasn't someone he saved, he wouldn't let the truth be exposed. He was not a good person to begin with.

After the smell of smoke dissipated, Yan Yunchuan got up and went into the room. He held Chen Ye tightly in his arms until dawn.

Chen Ye quickly moved to Yan Yunchuan's residence and did not return to the Yan family.

Qiu Mingzhu realized something was wrong at this time. Although she and Yan Yunchuan were not close, she still understood her son well. It was impossible that Yan Yunchuan would let Chen Ye live with him for no reason.

Before she could ask, Yan Yunchuan took the initiative to confront her.

Qiu Mingzhu was sitting in the living room and almost suffocated. Her well-maintained delicate face was cracked for the first time in many years. Her hand holding the teacup shook a few times and the cup almost fell to the ground.

"Are you kidding me?" Qiu Mingzhu frowned. "Are you blaming me for how I treated you? Do you want to use Lin Xia to take revenge on me?"

Yan Yunchuan said calmly, "No, he has never been a tool for revenge against anyone, and I don't care about the past anymore."

Qiu Mingzhu took a few deep breaths and tried to calm herself down. "Even if you like him, but...but you guys, he has called you uncle for so many years, and you actually had the heart to do that to him."

She was sure that it was Yan Yunchuan who took the initiative, because Lin Xia was a person she had watched grow up, and she was honest and dull, so it was impossible for her to deliberately seduce Yan Yunchuan.

"I have no blood or legal relationship with him, so why not? The outside world doesn't even know that there is such a person in the Yan family."

"You didn't care much about Xiao Xia before, why are you suddenly attracted to her?"

Yan Yunchuan placed one hand leisurely on the back of the sofa, "The past doesn't matter, what's important is now."

Qiu Mingzhu was silent for a while, then she sighed quietly, "Forget it, do whatever you want, I can't control you."

When Chen Ye went back to the Yan family's old house on the weekend, he could clearly feel that Qiu Mingzhu's eyes were looking at him differently. It was difficult for Chen Ye to describe that look, which was a bit loving and a bit regretful, as if Chen Ye was also a little cabbage. Her eyes made Chen Ye feel uneasy.

While Yan Yunchuan was away, Qiu Mingzhu found Chen Ye and asked Chen Ye to follow her into the study.

Qiu Mingzhu's study is decorated in a simple and elegant style. The white curtains are embroidered with orchids, the tall bookcases are filled with all kinds of books, and there are Chinese paintings hanging on the walls, all of which were painted by Qiu Mingzhu.

Chen Ye stood behind her, feeling a little awkward. "Grandma, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Please sit down." Qiu Mingzhu motioned Chen Ye to sit on the sofa.

After Chen Ye sat down, he took a sip of the tea that Qiu Mingzhu handed him. Qiu Mingzhu got straight to the point, "Yunchuan told me about you."

Chen Ye almost spit out the tea in his mouth, but fortunately he swallowed it in time. How could Yan Yunchuan be so bold to come out publicly?

Their relationship obviously hasn't lasted long.

"He told me that it's because he likes you very much. I can see that. He doesn't want you to be wronged. Tell grandma, do you like Yunchuan?"

Qiu Mingzhu's eyes were gentle, and under such gentle gaze Chen Ye thought of his mother, and he felt a little sad.

"like."

Qiu Mingzhu said: "That's good. I was worried that you were too young to understand and couldn't tell the difference between admiration and liking."

She paused and said, "I have no objection to you being together."

Chen Ye's heart was relieved. If Qiu Mingzhu obstructed them, it would really make Chen Ye's strategy mission very troublesome.

"But Yan's needs an heir." Qiu Mingzhu changed the subject, "You are a good child. You should know that a large enterprise like Yan's needs an heir."

Chen Ye: "So what you mean?"

Qiu Mingzhu took a sip of tea. "Technology is very advanced now. He can use technology to have a child with his blood. You can be together. Grandma won't urge Yunchuan to get married, and there won't be a third person between you. But you must have a child, and I will raise this child."

She originally thought that Chen Ye would be angry if he understood what he meant, because no one could accept that the person they like has a child with someone else.

However, Chen Ye's expression was calm.

"Grandma, I think you still don't understand my uncle."

Qiu Mingzhu raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

Chen Ye said with certainty, "There is no way he would agree to this plan."

Unless the child came from Chen Ye’s belly, Yan Yunchuan would never want it.

"Are you so sure?" Looking at Chen Ye's face, Qiu Mingzhu inexplicably felt that he had changed. He was no longer the timid and indecisive Lin Xia of the past.

Chen also said: "If you don't believe me, you can talk to your uncle and see how he reacts."

Qiu Mingzhu's lips curved slightly. Having another child would not be a loss for Yan Yunchuan. On the contrary, it would stabilize the Yan family. She didn't believe that Yan Yunchuan would refuse.

However, the fact is that Yan Yunchuan flatly refused.
