Manxianglou is a restaurant under the Mitel family. Jia Xingtian and others have already sat down in the private room and are chatting casually. Yafei is sitting on the sofa by the wall and ordering food from the waiter.

In fact, the people present here are already strong enough that they don’t need to eat, but sometimes eating is not just for the sake of eating.

"Add Grandpa!"

At this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open. Jia Xingtian, who was chatting with Hai Bodong, looked up and saw Xiao Yunxiao running in excitedly, and going straight towards Jia Xingtian. The wrinkles on Jia Xingtian's face were squeezed together, and he stood up with a smile on his face.

"Xiaoxiao, long time no see. Grandpa Jia missed you so much." Jia Xingtian stretched out his big hand to rub Xiao Yunxiao's hair. With his other hand, he gently stroked his goatee and sighed, "After not seeing you for so many years, Xiaoxiao has grown into a beautiful girl. There must be a lot of boys around you who like you, right?"

“No way~” Xiao Yunxiao shyly shook her head, then looked at Yunshan and raised her hand to greet him, “Grandpa Yunshan, long time no see!”

"Ah, long time no see."

The corners of Yunshan's mouth rose slightly. Compared with Jia Xingtian, he was more restrained in his views on feelings, which was also due to his habit of practicing seclusion.

"Xiaoxiao."

Suddenly, Xiao Yunxiao heard a familiar voice calling out. He looked in the direction of the voice and the joy on his face grew even more.

"Auntie!"

Xiao Yunxiao leaped up and fell directly into Xiao Wei's arms. Xiao Wei didn't think anything of it. Then Yun Yun's unpleasant voice came from outside the door.

"Xiaoxiao! You're already this old, don't do such rude things!"

Yun Yun strode into the private room, looking displeased at Xiao Yunxiao who was riding on Xiao Wei and scolding him like this. Xiao Yunxiao curled his lips in dissatisfaction, which made Yun Yun's brows twitch suddenly.

"It's okay. I haven't seen Xiaoxiao for a long time. This child grows up so fast."

Xiao Jing patted Xiao Yunxiao's head. Xiao Yunxiao squinted his eyes comfortably, and then made a face at Yun Yun from an angle that Xiao Jing couldn't see, which made Yun Yun's anger soar instantly.

"You girl."

"Yun'er."

Just when Yun Yun was about to explode, Yun Shan interrupted her at the right time, making Yun Yun realize that there were other people around. She suppressed her anger towards her daughter and looked at Yun Shan with nostalgia.

"Teacher, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much."

"If you really miss me, bring Xiaoxiao back more often. Just saying it won't do."

Yunshan took a sip of tea and said this lightly, causing Yunyun to smile awkwardly.

Ever since I followed Xiao Yan and Yun Xiao to Zhongzhou last time, it seems that I have never been back. Time has passed too quickly.

Then Yun Yun looked at Jia Xingtian and bowed her head respectfully to greet him.

"Jia Lao, long time no see."

"Ah~ Long time no see." Jia Xingtian raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said jokingly: "Your temperament is very different from when you were the sect leader before. It seems that raising a daughter is much more tiring than being the sect leader."

“You are right.”

Yun Yun couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand, and a row of black lines appeared on her face. The main reason was that her girl was indeed too noisy. If she had the personality of Zijing, she wouldn't be so tired.

Whenever Yun Yun thought of this, she would envy Zi Yun for the umpteenth time. Although she had paid little attention to raising children, Zi Jing was the most calm and reliable among all of Xiao Yan's children. It was hard to tell how to evaluate her.

"Don't worry about it. What's wrong with having such a lovely daughter? Look at Ye'er. She was only cute when she was a child. When she grew up, her temperament was like that of a boy. How could she be like a girl at all?"

Jia Xingtian was sighing like this when suddenly an unfriendly voice came from behind him.

"I'm really sorry that I don't look like a girl, Grandfather."

Hearing the voice, Jia Xingtian's body suddenly stiffened, and then he adjusted his expression very quickly. He turned around with a smile and greeted Yao Ye who had been standing behind him at some point.

"Ye'er, long time no see, Grandpa missed you so much!"

"."

Seeing his great-grandfather's skillful expression changing, Yao Ye was suddenly speechless. He quietly pulled out a chair and sat next to Jia Xingtian, and spoke casually.

"You look pretty strong and can even joke around, so I don't have to rush back."

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't! Great-grandfather still wants to retire!"

Jia Xingtian suddenly showed an anxious look on his face, of course, this was just an act.

Although Jia Xingtian always says that he wants to retire, given Yao Ye's current platform, Jia Xingtian doesn't want her to come back even if she wants to.

He had been calling for Yao Ye to succeed to the throne in order to leave his best things to her, but now the so-called Gama Empire is nothing in front of Yao Ye. Jia Xingtian had no intention of developing in Zhongzhou, but at least he could not hold back his great-granddaughter.

Yao Ye naturally knew what Jia Xingtian was thinking, but seeing her great-grandfather's flustered expression, even if it was just fake, made her smile.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan and the rest of the people also entered the private room. Xingtian and Yunshan both sighed when they saw Zijing, who had grown into a handsome and steady young man.

"Mr. Jia, Senior Yunshan, Aunt Xiao Jing, long time no see."

Zijing was very polite and greeted the two of them one by one, and Xingtian stroked his goatee and smacked his lips.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ I thought this kid was so outstanding when I was in Yunlan Sect. It seems our vision was right. He has become so handsome after just a few years."

Whether in the past or now, Bauhinia never leaves a bad impression on people, and it is really getting better and better with the passage of time.

Then Jia Xingtian turned his gaze to Cai Lin and Zi Yun, frowning slightly.

"You two haven't changed at all, have you?"

"You too, you still look old and immortal."

Cai Lin chuckled and retorted, but Jia Xingtian was not annoyed. This was the way this woman spoke. He felt uncomfortable if she didn't choke him, and he had long been used to it.

After that, everyone sat down, and Xiao Yunxiao got off Xiao Wei at Zijing's persuasion. Soon, delicious dishes were served to the table one after another. The portions were not very large. This kind of restaurant is for business receptions, and people who come here to eat basically don't come just to eat their fill.

At this time, Yafei saw the waiter bringing another large bowl of braised meat, and she opened her mouth and gave instructions.

"Put this dish in front of the lady."

Ya Fei gestured to Ziyun, and the waiter nodded and placed a full pot of braised meat directly in front of Ziyun. Ziyun's eyes immediately lit up, and she didn't care whether others moved their chopsticks or not. She ate with relish, holding a piece of meat in one hand and started to gnaw on it, which made Jia Xingtian's mouth twitch involuntarily.

"She really hasn't changed at all."

Looking at Ziyun's condition, if no one told her, who would have thought that she was already a mother of three children?

Afterwards, everyone started chatting about family matters while eating and drinking. Everyone present was familiar with each other, and they hadn't seen each other for many years, so there were always many things they wanted to talk about.

In the middle of the meeting, Ya Fei stood up, walked to Xiao Yan's seat and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Xiao Yan, come out for a moment. I have something to tell you." "Okay." Xiao Yan nodded and told Yun Yun beside him, "Yun'er, I'll be out for a moment. Keep an eye on this place."

"Ah."

Jia Xingtian watched Xiao Yan and Ya Fei leave the private room, then he leaned over to Yao Ye's ear and asked quietly.

"Ye'er, Grandpa wants to ask you something, don't be angry."

"Then don't ask me, I will definitely be angry."

Yao Ye responded in a low voice and glanced at Jia Xingtian indifferently. After so many years, she was no longer the straightforward princess. Just now during the meal, Jia Xingtian's eyes had been shifting back and forth between her and Xiao Yan implicitly, and now he was being mysterious again. Yao Ye could naturally guess what he was going to ask.

"Hey! Girl, if you say that, Grandfather will be unhappy." Jia Xingtian pouted in dissatisfaction, and then lowered his voice, "Is there still a possibility for you and Xiao Yan? If not, let Grandfather talk to him for you?"

"no need."

Yao Ye's tone was slightly cold and his expression was a little ugly. It was obvious that he didn't want to dwell on this issue any further.

However, Jia Xingtian refused to give in and could even be said to be a little anxious.

"How can I not use it? Ye'er, didn't you come to Zhongzhou for this? So many years have passed and there is still no news. Let's not talk about whether it succeeds or not. You haven't even told him yet, right? Great grandfather should help you."

boom!
A loud bang caused the entire table to tremble, and the private room, which had been bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked in shock at Yao Ye, whose face had already become gloomy as a fist hit the table. Jia Xingtian, who was standing next to him, also had a gloomy expression.

"I'm full, bye."

Jia Xingtian watched Yao Ye stride out of the private room. Everyone came to their senses only when the door was slammed shut. Hai Bodong looked at Jia Xingtian with a puzzled look on his face.

"What did you say? Why did you make your great-granddaughter so angry?"

Hearing Hai Bodong's question, Jia Xingtian's face turned bitter, and Yunshan said softly while drinking tea.

"What can he talk to his great-granddaughter at his age? Nothing more than some romantic matters."

"I'm just worried about Ye'er. Who would have thought she would resist like this?" Jia Xingtian scratched his hair with a headache, then waved his hand, "Okay, let's continue eating and forget about it for now."

With Jia Xingtian's mediation, the atmosphere that had become cold due to Yao Ye's departure became lively again. Cai Lin glanced at Jia Xingtian meaningfully, then retracted his gaze, stood up and said to Yun Yun.

"Yun Yun, I'm going out for a while."

Yun Yun turned her head to look at Cai Lin, her beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and then she suddenly said something.

"I have no opinion."

This sentence made Cai Lin stunned for a moment, and then she curled the corners of her mouth.

"That's right, I don't have any either."

Cai Lin turned and left the private room, released her fighting spirit perception, and quickly found Yao Ye's location. She followed him all the way to another empty private room, where Yao Ye was sitting on a chair, looking up at the luxurious lighting, his mind a mess.

Was my tone too harsh just now? Great grandfather said that for my own good.

Yao Ye thought so and bit her red lips lightly with her pearly teeth.

She knew in her heart that she shouldn't have lost her temper just now.

Just hearing Jia Xingtian's words, especially his offer to help him, made Yao Ye suddenly feel furious.

I have worked hard for so many years and tried my best to help him, but in the end I still have to rely on the help of others. It would be fine if it didn't work out, but if it did, it would be even more unacceptable for Yao Ye.

It was as if all my efforts over the years had been in vain.

"what"

Yao Ye let out a long sigh, leaning back in his chair with an extremely depressed look, his eyes lowered to the floor, his mind gradually becoming empty, he didn't think about anything, he just sat there in a daze.

After a long while, Yao Ye gradually came back to his senses and shook his head lightly.

"Forget it, it's a waste of time to stay here, let's go back to Tianhe Alliance and finish the work for the next few days."

Yao Ye stood up and walked out of the private room, muttering to himself.

"Why don't you just confess to Xiao Yan? If that doesn't work, I'll just go back to the Jia Ma Empire."

"I have no opinion."

Yao Ye's footsteps suddenly stopped and he looked in astonishment at Cai Lin who was leaning against the wall outside the door. The words "I have no objection" just now also came from her mouth.

Cai Lin turned her head slightly, looked at Yao Ye who had a dull look in his eyes, and spoke again.

"You just said that you wanted to confess to Xiao Yan directly, and if that didn't work, you would go to the Jia Ma Empire, right?" Cai Lin repeated Yao Ye's mutterings just now, and then continued: "I just gave you an answer, I have no objection."

Cai Lin said this, narrowing her eyes slightly.

"It's just that you'd better think carefully about whether you can accept any result."

Cai Lin's words were quite sarcastic, which made Yao Ye come back to his senses slightly. He looked at her and asked back after a moment.

"Have you thought it through? If I really do this, will you accept any result?"

"I told you, I have no problem with that."

Cai Lin spoke again, silencing Yao Ye. Yao Ye then scratched his hair in distress and asked.

"Just tell me, what do you want to do? You can't be here just to argue with me, right?"

In the past when they were in the Jia Ma Empire, Yao Ye and Cai Lin could not communicate with each other at all because their status were different. After coming to Zhongzhou for so many years, their relationship has gradually been on the same level, and there is no need for Yao Ye to be so polite when speaking.

Hearing Yao Ye's question, Cai Lin raised the corners of her mouth and chuckled.

"It's no fun to argue with you. It's fun to argue with Xiao Yan, especially at night when everyone else is asleep."

"."

Yao Ye's brows twitched again. This was almost a direct mockery. Naturally, he was a little angry because of Cai Lin, and his tone was also a little unfriendly.

"What do you want to do?"

"Nothing, I just feel a little unhappy that someone as strong-willed as me has given up like this." Cai Lin looked forward, ignoring Yao Ye's reaction, and said to herself: "At that time, I used my own way to forcefully pursue Xiao Yan. Although the result was achieved in the end, I know in my heart that it was all thanks to that accident. I can't say that my efforts were ineffective, but I can say that they were definitely not the main reason. So I understand your feeling of powerlessness now."

"It's a terrible feeling to want to rely on yourself but not ask for it."

Cai Lin glanced at Yao Ye and said lightly.

"Yue Mei taught me before that it's okay to be strong, but sometimes it's not necessarily a bad thing to give in to your feelings." (End of this chapter)
