Chapter 25

The house was located in a very classical courtyard, with the big character “An” (Dark) written on the plaque at the entrance.

As soon as they entered, someone quickly came out to greet them: “Miss, why are you back so early today?”

The person who came out saw the two extra people at the door.

He was stunned for a moment, and quickly became excited: “Mingyuan is back! Why didn’t you say something so I could send someone to pick you up?”

Ye Mingyuan smiled and greeted him: “Zhou Guanjiā.”

Zhou Guanjiā smiled so wide his eyes disappeared: “And this is…”

Ye Mingyuan took Lin Jun’s hand and brought him in front of Zhou Guanjiā: “This is my partner, Lin Jun.”

Zhou Guanjiā’s eyes widened, looking even more excited.

“Mingyuan has a partner so early! I didn’t even have time to prepare a greeting gift.”

This Zhou Guanjiā was an old man left behind by Ye Mingyuan’s maternal grandfather. Although nominally a housekeeper, An Qiyun had always treated him like family.

After a brief exchange at the door, Zhou Guanjiā led them into the house.

Considering the fatigue of the long flight, An Qiyun didn’t keep them long, just said a few simple words and then had someone take them down to rest.

The room was located on the sunny side of the second floor, with plenty of light, and a large floor-to-ceiling window.

Opposite the door was a very large bookshelf, filled with all kinds of books, and several mecha models were placed in the corner of the room.

Although it had been a long time since anyone lived there, the room was spotless and very tidy, indicating that someone came to clean it regularly.

“Is this your old room?”

Lin Jun flipped through the books on the table and turned to ask Ye Mingyuan.

“Yeah.” Ye Mingyuan reached out and drew the curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and the whole room darkened immediately: “Want to sleep for a while?”

Lin Jun hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Although he had been sleeping on the spaceship, it was very different from sleeping in a bed.

The whole room was dimly lit. Lin Jun stared at the empty ceiling and asked the question that had been in his heart since he entered the door.

“Why did you go back to the Ye family in your previous life?”

He clearly had so many relatives and friends who cared about and loved him, so why did Ye Mingyuan have to wade into the muddy waters of the Ye family?

The bed moved slightly, obviously the person beside him was not asleep either.

Ye Mingyuan turned over and hugged Lin Jun from the side.

He sighed and resigned himself to speaking: “I knew you were going to ask.”

Lin Jun: “…If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it.”

Now that Ye Mingyuan said that, he suddenly didn’t want to know so much anymore.

Although he didn’t know the specific reasons, he could vaguely guess that something terrible must have happened to make Ye Mingyuan step into the Ye family without hesitation.

A soft laugh came from his ear, and Ye Mingyuan’s voice came from close to his ear: “It’s nothing, you should have heard of it, the ‘Heartbreak Incident’.”

Lin Jun frowned and searched his memory for a while before finding this passage.

That year, a group of space pirates from beyond the territory somehow bypassed the border defense and attacked “Heart of Mecha”, causing huge casualties. This incident was later named the “Heartbreak Incident.”

Being suddenly mentioned by Ye Mingyuan, Lin Jun realized that the Heartbreak Incident seemed to have happened in the same year that Ye Mingyuan returned to the Ye family.

“This incident was arranged by the Ye family.”

Lin Jun’s mind buzzed, and he turned his head sharply: “Arranged by the Ye family?!”

He remembered that the Ye family seemed to have sent troops to suppress the space pirates in the end.

The corners of Ye Mingyuan’s mouth twitched in a mocking arc: “I didn’t expect him to be so despicable. If my mother was still here, how could he have brought me back to the Ye family?”

“He killed…”

Seeing Ye Mingyuan nod, Lin Jun gasped.

Although he had always known that the Ye family was despicable, he didn’t expect that they could even do such a thing.

The arm holding him tightened more and more, and Lin Jun groaned in pain.

Ye Mingyuan was shocked and quickly let go: “Did I squeeze you too hard?”

“No.” Lin Jun shook his head. He thought for a while and reached out to hold Ye Mingyuan’s palm.

He couldn’t blame himself for being soft-hearted, Ye Mingyuan’s experience was too pitiful.

Now that he thought about the life Ye Mingyuan had lived in his previous life, he felt that the person in front of him was just a pitiful little cabbage.

He was originally happy and fulfilled, with relatives and friends who cared about him, staying in a place like a paradise, without having to come into contact with the darkness outside.

But it was his own father who destroyed everything.

And who would care about the suffering Ye Mingyuan endured while lurking in the Ye family for revenge?

The atmosphere in the room was very warm.

After all, they had been traveling on the spaceship for five or six days, and Lin Jun quickly fell asleep.

Hearing even breathing coming from beside him, Ye Mingyuan turned his head to look at Lin Jun’s face, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In any case, that was all in his previous life.

At least in this life, all his regrets would not happen again.

Lin Jun slept until evening. He had just sat up from the bed when he heard someone outside say: “Young Master, Zhou Guanjiā has asked you to come down for dinner.”

“Got it.” Ye Mingyuan responded.

He was sitting at the desk in the room, looking down at a book. The desk lamp shone on his profile, and it was unknown how long he had been sitting there.

Lin Jun got out of bed and walked to Ye Mingyuan’s side: “Let’s go, let’s go down to eat, don’t keep them waiting.”

Ye Mingyuan was stunned and looked up: “You’re awake.”

He put down the book in his hand and stood up.

Lin Jun then realized that he was still holding the Pregnancy Encyclopedia.

From the initial discomfort to the current acceptance, Lin Jun had learned to turn a blind eye to this kind of book.

Anyway, the pregnancy cycle for males was shorter than for females. In two months, the child could be transferred to the Incubation Chamber, and then Ye Mingyuan could do whatever he wanted.

The two had just walked out of the room and hadn’t gone downstairs when they smelled the aroma of food from the dining room.

The table was full of dishes, and Lin Jun was so surprised that he turned to look at Ye Mingyuan.

So much, can we finish it?

Seeing the two of them come down, Zhou Guanjiā quickly pulled out chairs for them.

He was grinning, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together: “Today is the Young Master’s return home, and I didn’t have time to specially prepare a welcoming feast for you. I don’t know what Little Master Lin likes to eat, so I made a little of everything. Try it and see if it suits your taste.”

Meeting the old housekeeper’s eager gaze, Lin Jun felt a lot of pressure.

Seeing An Qiyun pick up her chopsticks and start eating, he quickly picked up a dish at random and put it in his mouth.

The thick soup melted on the tip of his tongue, and Lin Jun couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, praising sincerely: “Delicious! It’s so delicious!”

Zhou Guanjiā smiled so wide his eyes disappeared: “I’m glad you like it, I’m glad you like it.”

An Qiyun smiled and patted Zhou Guanjiā: “Uncle Zhou, please sit down and eat too, don’t bother anymore.”

After speaking, she turned to look at Ye Mingyuan and Lin Jun: “How long are you planning to stay this time? I can arrange things accordingly.”

Ye Mingyuan put down his bowl and chopsticks: “About three or four days.”

An Qiyun’s eyes dimmed slightly: “So short…”

Before everyone could react, Ye Mingyuan spoke again: “But I want Lin Jun to stay here for two months, until his child is born before leaving.”

As soon as his words fell, everyone at the table looked over in unison, and several surprised voices sounded at the same time: “What?!”
