In the villa, three people were sitting at a dining table filled with dishes.

“Chaozhou ge, try it,” Yun Fei said with a smile. “At the end of last year, I was filming for a program and learned to cook a lot of dishes for it.”

After she finished speaking, she put some food for Yun Se next to her, “Aunt Yun, you can try it too.”

Yun Se lowered her head and took a bite, then focused on her nephew. “Chaozhou, you eat.”

This was also one of the reasons she came over: to make sure he eats.

It’s usual for Chaozhou to not even eat for a whole day, and his condition has gotten worse and worse in the past few years.

“Okay.” Ji Chaozhou was a little lost in thought, but neither of the two people with him noticed it.

The three of them maintained a relatively harmonious conversation about a few topics. Yun Se suddenly thought of the villa next door and asked, “Chaozhou, have you met your neighbor next door? Are they easy to get along with?” 

Ji Chaozhou picked up the serving chopsticks to pick up food for Aunt Yun. “I’ve met the neighbor.” The second half of the sentence was simply ignored and there was no answer.

“We should have bought both villas together.” Yun Se hadn’t forgotten this point yet. She shook her head, “That Director Li said that the neighbor next door often travels on business? This situation is barely acceptable.” 

Ji Chaozhou thought of Cheng Liu who has been here a lot these past days: ” …”

“Chaozhou ge, there is a new program recently that invites rising figures from all walks of life to participate. Do you want to be on it?” Yun Fei looked at the dignified and indifferent young man sitting opposite her with unconcealed admiration in her eyes, “It would be perfect to give Ranshan some publicity.”

Ji Chaozhou almost immediately refused, “I won’t go.”

Yun Fei bit her lip. Unlike the glamorous scene on the screen, she was a little more supple when facing her sweetheart, “Why not go? The people on that show are all presidents and chairmans of large companies. If you participate, Ranshan will definitely become more famous.

“Could it be that you’re still angry with me because of what happened at the airport last time?” 

Yun Fei looked at Yun Se next to her, “Auntie, take a look,” she said with a voice full of grievance, “Chaozhou ge, I’m sorry. I really didn’t know those reporters were there.”

Ji Chaozhou put down his chopsticks, “Aunt Yun, I’m full.”

“Okay.” Yun Se frowned and sighed, “Xiao Fei, let it go.”

… …

After dinner, Ji Chaozhou carried Yun Se from the wheelchair to the sofa, turned on the TV, and chatted with her. Yun Fei sat on the other side.

“After I am gone, there should be no distance between you two.” Yun Se looked at the two people beside her each in turn, her face serious as she imparted her instructions.

“Aunt Yun!” Yun Fei frowned, “You will definitely live a long life. I just prayed for you in the temple last month.”

Yun Se smiled, a little sad, “I know my own body best. It’s a pity that I can’t stay with you longer.”

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Look, Aunt Yun, the program I filmed last week will be broadcast on this station.” Yun Fei pointed to the TV and changed the topic.

Ji Chaozhou sat next to them watching the program, lost in thought, until Aunt Yun next to him asked him in surprise, “Why does that person look so much like your previous bodyguard?” 

Ji Chaozhou looked up at the TV screen. The news was covering a certain summit and the person in the front row was Cheng Liu.

She was wearing a black, slim-fitting suit, her youth in stark contrast to the other middle-aged men and women around her.

“The bodyguard chosen by Uncle Ji seems to have some background?” Yun Fei said casually, looking at Cheng Liu on the screen. She simply thought that she was a bodyguard who was  assigned to sit among the dignitaries. The last time she saw her, Yun Fei felt very disgusted indeed.

“She is not my bodyguard.” Ji Chaozhou looked away from Cheng Liu on the screen and focused on other parts of the living room.

At this moment, the camera focused on Cheng Liu, and a line of small white letters appeared on the top of the screen: [Cheng Liu, founder of Shenyin Technology Inc.]

Ordinary people may not have heard of Cheng Liu, but they must certainly know about Shenyin Technology.

When Yun Fei saw this, her heart suddenly stopped. She was the founder of Shenyin Technology?

“Aunt Yun, this person definitely told me last time that she was Chaozhou ge‘s bodyguard,” Yun Fei complained to Yun Se. No wonder she found this person extremely annoying.

Yun Se didn’t know what was going on. Last time, the father and son only said it was a misunderstanding and didn’t say anything else.

“Chaozhou, what’s going on?” Yun Se turned to ask him.

Ji Chaozhou looked at the TV screen. The news broadcast had moved on to something else. He lowered his eyelashes and said, “It’s all in the past. There were just some misunderstandings.” 

He didn’t want to explain, and others couldn’t force him.

Yun Se tired easily and soon wanted to go back.

Ji Chaozhou walked the two of them to the gate and waited for Yun Fei’s assistant to drive over.

At this time, a car drove in—a black SUV.

“It should be my assistant.” Just as Yun Fei finished speaking, she realized that the license plate was wrong.

The black SUV parked right next to them, and the passenger window rolled down. The person driving to Ji Chaozhou, “Good evening, neighbor.” 

Ji Chaozhou frowned when he heard her voice, but his eyes was not affected and almost against his control, they moved to Cheng Liu’s face inside the car.

Cheng Liu was looking at Ji Chaozhou with her bright eyes, and when she saw Yun Se in the wheelchair, she called out, “Aunt Yun, good evening.” 

Her future boyfriend’s aunt was of course her aunt!¹

Yun Se met Cheng Liu’s eyes and automatically turned to look at her nephew, only to see him gazing directly at the person in the car.

Who knew what she suddenly thought of, but at that moment, her face became a little unsightly.

‘Kof! Kof!’ Yun Se couldn’t bear the excitement. She held her fist against her mouth and tried to suppress her coughs.

“Aunt Yun!” Ji Chaozhou immediately squatted down and patted Yun Se on the back.

“Kof!… I’m fine.” Yun Se stretched out her hand to hold Yun Fei’s hand that was next to her, “Xiao Fei…”

Yun Fei also bent down and put her other hand on top.

Seeing the car coming behind Cheng Liu’s, Yun fei said, “Aunt Yun, our car is here.”

Cheng Liu also saw the incoming car in the rearview mirror. Her car was blocking the way of the one behind her, so she had to drive forward into her garage first.

The car behind slowly drove over.

When Ji Chaozhou saw that Aunt Yun had stopped coughing, he carried her into the car.     

Yun Se took his nephew’s hand and looked at him deeply, “Chaozhou, don’t follow your mother’s path.”
