Ye Ningbai pondered, thinking of Grandpa An, and felt quite regretful.

Gong Qiming saw her expression and said nothing. He just picked her up on the waist, put her on the bed, and then pressed her on: "Don't miss it!"

His tone is very domineering.

Ye Ningbai laughed and knew that his possessiveness had started to cause trouble again, so he hooked his neck with his hand and gave him a sweet kiss.

Gong Qiming's eyes darkened, he grabbed the back of her head and kissed her hard.

A warm room.

...

On the second day, when it was almost the agreed time, Ye Ningbai changed her clothes. She wore a white sleeveless shirt, a light blue denim skirt, and a pair of white shoes. She looked like she was ten years younger, which attracted Gong Ruixuan's repeated admiration.

Gong Qiming didn't say anything, but stared at Ye Ningbai's eyes with a strange brilliance. What it contained was self-evident.

Ye Ningbai stepped forward, kissed Gong Qiming on the face, smiled and said goodbye to them, and then left in the driver's car.

Hongye Pavilion is not far from Kexiaoxuan, it is just a dozen minutes’ drive away.

Ye Ningbai got out of the car and asked the driver to wait outside, then he entered Kexiaoxuan.

Kexiaoxuan is an antique teahouse with antique decorations. Even the waiter wore cheongsams from the Republic of China period. The unique style and in-house service made it famous in this city. Many big bosses who talked about business are used to coming here.

As soon as Ye Ningbai pushed open the door and walked in, a waiter stepped forward and asked respectfully: "Welcome, Miss, are you one?"

Ye Ningbai smiled politely: "I'll look for Mr. An."

"Is it Miss Ye?" asked the waiter.

Ye Ningbai nodded, not surprised. It was thought that Grandpa An had already arranged everything.

Sure enough, when the waiter heard this, the smile on his face became even warmer. While leading Ye Ningbai forward, he said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. An's distinguished guest. Miss, please invite him. Mr. An has been waiting for you for a long time."

Ye Ningbai smiled appropriately and followed her to the second floor.

Compared with the first floor, there are much fewer people on the second floor, with only a few guests sitting in the elegant seats in groups of three or three.

However, this is not because lobbyist Xiaoxuan has a bad business and few people, but because not everyone can get in. It is not known when it has become a sign of identity to be able to enter here.

As the former daughter-in-law of An's family, Ye Ningbai is definitely qualified to come, but An Yaosi was unwilling to take her out at the beginning, and she herself was keen on dealing with the wives and ladies in the upper-class circle, so it was the first time she came here.

She couldn't guess the reason why Grandpa An came here, was to show An's ability? Or was she apologizing for the past? Or was she just an unintentional act? Ye Ningbai couldn't guess thoroughly and was too lazy to guess, so he followed the waiter's footsteps to the door of a private room.

"Miss Ye, it's here. Mr. An is waiting for you inside!" The waiter politely stopped at the door and made a gesture of invitation.

Ye Ningbai nodded and thanked her: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, it's my honor to serve you." The waiter who has been trained and has good professional qualities. He smiled and went downstairs.

Ye Ningbai stood at the door, took a deep breath, eliminated the distracting thoughts in his mind, and then bent his finger and knocked on the door.

Almost as the knock on the door fell, an old but majestic voice came from inside: "Please come in!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Ye Ningbai couldn't help but feel a sore nose and almost burst into tears. The grievances he suffered over the past period seemed to have vented his anger, just like a child who had met his parents, and Grandpa An was the person he treated her best after her mother passed away.

Memories surged like a tide, as if with the power of destruction, Ye Ningbai calmed down, suppressed all his thoughts, and then pushed open the door and walked in.

The private room is still decorated with antiques. The tables and chairs are all topped with fine golden nanmu, and Clivia is also placed on the corner of the desk. On the far left of the private room is a screen with landscapes and soil. It can be seen that there is still extra space behind the screen.

Grandpa An sat on the chair opposite the door, looking at Ye Ningbai with a faint smile on his face. The tea on the table stained a faint mist, making the old man's face look more kind.

Ye Ningbai's eyes swept over his slightly white hair, swept over the emerald ring on his right thumb, and then swept over the Tang suit with a black background embroidered white crane. Finally, his eyes were frozen on the old man's face, and he said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while, Grandpa, you are better in spirit than before."

"You girl is just sweet-mouthed!" Grandpa An suddenly laughed, his laughter as cheerful as when he was young. He patted the chair beside him and greeted Ye Ningbai: "Ye girl, come and sit down quickly."

"Yes, grandpa!" Ye Ningbai responded obediently, walked over and sat next to him, picked up the teapot, filled the teacup he had just finished drinking, and then poured himself a cup.

She took it to her nose and smelled it, showing an expression of enjoyment on her face, and exclaimed: "After the rain, the West Lake Longjing, I feel fragrant just by smelling it."

Grandpa An heard this and laughed: "Then you might as well stop drinking it, just smell it."

Ye Ningbai knew that he was joking, and the two of them were used to this way of conversation. He immediately stuck out his tongue mischievously and said, "That's not possible. I have to drink two more cups of such a good tea."

Grandpa An was immediately happy, pointed her forehead with his finger, and scolded, "Tea is for tasting, not for you to drink!"

Ye Ningbai simply pretended to be a scoundrel and curled his lips and said, "I don't understand those things. In my opinion, tea is just for drinking."

Grandpa An suddenly burst into laughter. He was clear in his heart. How could Ye Ningbai not understand the tea ceremony? It was just to be happy with her, the old man. Unfortunately, such a relationship has become less and less, and it may even be gone in the future.

When I wanted to come here, Grandpa An suddenly felt a little sad and his laughter slowly lowered.

Ye Ningbai noticed it and felt suffocated in his heart. She opened her mouth and said softly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will see you if I have time in the future."

Grandpa An sighed softly, then covered Ye Ningbai's with his hands. When he looked at her, there was an old man who was reluctant to leave his grandchildren. He asked with a hint of luck: "Girl, is there really no room for recovery?"

Ye Ningbai knew what he was saying. Although he was reluctant to let Grandpa An, who loved her so much, was sad, but some words had to be said, so she nodded: "Grandpa, I have no choice, I'm already like this."

There was a strong sadness and helplessness in her tone, and a final compromise, but her eyes were very firm, indicating that she would not change her decision easily.

Grandpa An suddenly lost his energy. He let go of Ye Ningbai's hand and leaned back, murmured: "I have watched you grow up since I was a child. I know that although you look weak, you are actually very stubborn. Once you make a decision, you can't pull eight horses back and exactly like your mother."

When Ye Ningbai mentioned his deceased mother, his heart was slightly sour, but then he realized what Grandpa An said just now, and immediately looked up at him in surprise: "Grandpa, do you mean to agree to our divorce?"

Grandpa An smiled bitterly, looking at her with a pity: "I don't agree with you, your child, won't you get divorced?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ningbai shook her head embarrassedly. It was a matter of her lifelong affairs, and she could not keep going.

Grandpa An finally sighed when he looked at her appearance, and a little bit of self-blame was revealed in his eyes: "Maybe I was really wrong. I shouldn't have let you marry Xiao Si at the beginning, and I shouldn't have agreed to you..."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped talking and refused to continue.

Ye Ningbai tilted his head and looked at him in confusion. He just sighed and stopped talking, but he still couldn't help but assume it in his heart.

If An Yaosi was not sick at the beginning, if Ye Ningbai had not agreed to the mysterious man's conditions to save An Yaosi and disappeared for a year, if Xu Manrou had not appeared, would there be any difference between the two of them?

But today, it is too late to say anything, and the gear of fate has deviated from the original track from the beginning.

"Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You young people's affairs are up to you to decide. Old man, I'm old and can't take care of that much!" Finally, Grandpa An just sighed deeply, with a little fatigue.

When Ye Ningbai saw this, he quickly expressed his opinion: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will take more time to see you in the future!"

Grandpa An smiled and didn't say anything. After all, no matter how much time is spent, how can he be compared to staying with him? Although he is the same person, he is not a grandson's wife and feels sad after all.

As soon as this sentence was spoken, Ye Ningbai immediately realized it and stopped talking awkwardly.

Grandpa An didn't say anything, the two of them were silent, leaving only the tea on the table constantly stained with the fog.

For a moment, needles fell from this small private room could be heard.

At this time, a crisp ringtone suddenly came from Ye Ningbai's bag. It was the phone ringing. She took it out and opened it and saw that it was Gong Qiming's phone.

Ye Ningbai looked at Grandpa An with a little embarrassed look, and hung up the phone with his fingers.

Grandpa An didn't mind, but instead asked with a smile: "Is it your child's phone number?"

Ye Ningbai understood that Grandpa An should know about her and Gong Qiming, and he was not going to hide it at the moment.

"You just hung up someone's phone, aren't you afraid that they will get angry?" Grandpa An deliberately made fun of him.

Ye Ningbai shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'll just reply to him with a message."

She said, and quickly clicked on the screen with her fingers, and a message had been sent out.

"Ye Yatou, that Mr. Gong... have you really considered it?" At this time, Grandpa An suddenly heard a little worried voice next to him.
