Ye Lan changed the topic to the software competition.
She asked her some questions about it.
In the end, she was full of confidence. She smiled and said, âIâm sure youâll be chosen!â
She paused again, with her own worries. âItâs just, itâs not necessarily a good thing that you were chosen. What ifââ
This year, the competition would be held in the country. It would be embarrassing if they couldnât even enter the group stages.
She didnât want Qiao Nian to get involved in this mess, but she supported Qiao Nianâs decision unconditionally. âForget it. Itâs useless to think about this now. Letâs look at the final results first. If the person chosen is you, we can still make it in time.â
âOkay.â Qiao Nian didnât take the software competition to heart. Seeing that the beef in the pot was ready, she placed the tender beef in the tomato pot into the small bun bowl. Then, she raised her chin and said gently, âHurry up and eat. Thereâs no chili in this.â
Ye Qichenâs obsidian eyes lit up as he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He immediately grabbed his chopsticks, afraid that Qiao Nian would think that he didnât like it.
He took a bite first. With his mouth still wrapped in food, he mumbled, âSister, eat too~â
Qiao Nian changed her posture and placed her hand on the chair. She sat sideways, not in a hurry to eat. âYou eat first.â
Ye Lan looked at her grandson, who seemed to like Qiao Nian very much. She was a little depressed and a little helpless. She slowly said, âChen Chen has been asking to come back every day because he misses you. Nian Nian, do you have time?â
Qiao Nian looked at her gently, as if waiting for her to speak.
Ye Lan held her forehead and shook her head. She couldnât help but laugh. She was already so old, yet she still had to worry about her grandson after worrying about her daughter.
But she only had one eldest grandson, and he was the son left behind by her daughterâs difficult labor. She couldnât bear to leave him alone.
Therefore, Ye Lan pulled a long face and said shamelessly, âDid Wangchuan tell you that Chen Chen wants to stay with you?
âWhat Iâm considering is that youâve just entered university and Chen Chen is still young. Iâm afraid that heâll be insensible and disturb youâ¦â
Ye Qichen was sitting obediently in his seat, eating the beef that Qiao Nian had cooked for him. He suddenly put down his chopsticks when he heard his grandmotherâs words and said with a serious expression, âI wonât disturb Sister!â
Qiao Nian looked at him.
The little guyâs face turned red again. He explained to Ye Lan angrily and shyly, âI wonât trouble you. Uncle Gu San is also there. Iâll trouble Uncle Gu San, not you.â
Didnât he have another uncle?
Ye Qichen thought of his uncle and secretly pursed his lips. He would rather mention Gu San than Ye Wangchuan. The word âjealousyâ was almost written on his face.
He looked away and said in a muffled voice, â⦠Anyway, I wonât trouble Sister Nian.â
The little guy pursed his lips. His expression looked stubborn and pitiful.
Ye Lanâs heart twisted. She immediately put down her chopsticks and comforted him. âAiyo, Grandma didnât mean that. Iâm not saying that youâre troublesome. Iâm just worried that Nian Nian is only a freshman and sheâll be busy with her studies⦠Grandma didnât say anything about you.â
ââ¦â Ye Qichen didnât say anything. He tugged at the seam of his pants and lowered his head. His eyes were red.
What did she mean by that? She just didnât want him to live with his sister.
However, when they brought him out for rehabilitation, they had agreed that he could live with his sister as long as he was obedient and recovered early.
Only then did he agree to leave the country.
Or he would not leave!
In the end, he kept the agreement, but the elders refused to!
They were all liars!
