Rebirth: I am the boss uncle

Chapter 578: One Person’s Journey! 42

Ye Youxuan looked into those dark green eyes, which held a sorrow that Ye Youxuan could not understand...

Is it because of me that they are so sad?

Is it because of my unreasonable demands that they are making things difficult for me?

Ye Youxuan knew she had gone too far today, letting someone who shouldn't be there show up and then unreasonably demanding he stay... But she really... missed him...

The loneliness of being alone, the disappearance of everyone who knew him from his life, is something he can't accept for a while.

Actually... Ye Youxuan never grew up. When she was still Yin Shuyu, although her family wasn't wealthy, she was loved by her parents, doted on by her older brother, and protected by her childhood friends. This fostered her innocent and adorable nature, allowing her to view the world with a positive outlook...

Although he ultimately lost his life due to his ignorant kindness, he then encountered the people of the underworld who cherished him dearly. Mo Yan was always by his side, fearing he might make a mistake. He transferred all his dependence on his parents and brother to Lin Mo Yan… Although they taught him many things, he still cherished those memories…

Ye Youxuan pursed her lips, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. She gently tiptoed and rested her head against Mo Yan's brow.

"Okay! I promise you... then... you have to come pick me up..."

Mo Yan lowered his head, feeling the warmth emanating from between his brows.

"Hmm... I'm not lying to you. By then, we will never abandon you again, never... leave you alone again."

......

Liu Weicheng and the others looked at the two embracing each other in bewilderment.

Who exactly is this person?

Finally, dressed in magnificent robes, Mo Yan led Ye Youxuan by the hand towards the room. As they passed Liu Weicheng and the others, Mo Yan stopped and bowed slightly to them.

"Dr. Liu, thank you for everything you've done during this time. Xiao Xuan's recovery is all thanks to you. If it weren't for your hard work, he probably wouldn't have been arguing with me for so long (really, not being sarcastic). Back then... I'm also very grateful for the huge help you gave us. Thank you... for stepping into this situation despite all the difficulties."

Liu Weicheng was stiff all over. The people next to him couldn't understand what he was saying, but he could understand.

Can.......

This person had never appeared in his memory before, let alone been by Ye Youxuan's side, but the temperament... was very familiar!

Liu Weicheng looked at the two people in front of him and stiffly waved his hand.

"No...you're welcome! This is my own choice! I really like Xiao Xuan. After spending this time together, to be honest, and I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, I've come to regard Xiao Xuan as my own child. It might be a bit too much, but...from now on, Xiao Xuan's affairs are my affairs, so don't worry, I won't abandon him!"

Mo Yan smiled and nodded. Of course he knew that Liu Weicheng was sincere. Otherwise, he wouldn't feel comfortable entrusting Ye Youxuan to the couple, nor would he dare to entrust Ye Youxuan to Liu Weicheng for the past two years.

Thank you, I believe you.

After Mo Yan finished speaking, he looked at the three Zhou brothers standing on the other side.

Aside from their less-than-ideal backgrounds, these three were considered the cream of the crop—intelligent, capable, and hardworking, destined for great things. It was unexpected that the place he had chosen for Xiao Xuan would cultivate such capable individuals. The emotions in their eyes were the same as those of Fu Huainan and Du Ruoqing; they would never betray Ye Youxuan, except…

A shadow flickered in Mo Yan's eyes, so quickly it was almost imperceptible. He quickly composed himself before speaking.

"Actually... I should be most grateful to your family. Thank you for being by Xiao Xuan's side when he was most lost and confused, which gave him... the will to live! Thank you!!!"

Mo Yan didn't express much gratitude to the three brothers. He didn't want to waste his remaining time on irrelevant people. He looked down at the obedient Ye Youxuan beside him, his gaze gentle and affectionate.

"Xuan'er, let's not go to the study, let's go to the kitchen! What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you. You haven't eaten properly for many days, it makes me anxious... You've already mastered the calligraphy I taught you, and... your handwriting is very similar to mine, what I want to write is what you want to write..."

Ye Youxuan's hand was enveloped in Mo Yan's large hand. He didn't care where they were going; he just wanted to stay with him.

"Yes, anywhere is fine."

......

Time flew by, and before they knew it, the moon was already high in the sky. All the food Mo Yan had prepared for Ye Youxuan was ready, but towards the end, Mo Yan suddenly missed the pastries Ye Youxuan used to make.

It was that tooth-splittingly sweet pastry, the kind that only Ye Ling could eat without batting an eye.

Watching Mo Yan slowly turn transparent, Ye Youxuan's pastries were finally ready. But holding the steaming pastries, Ye Youxuan suddenly didn't dare to turn around. Tears welled up in her eyes, her nose stung, and she lowered her head as tears fell one by one.

Mo Yan didn't urge him, but stood silently behind Ye Youxuan, looking at the person who was trying to hide her sorrow with eyes full of pity.

Ye Youxuan took a deep breath, forcing a smile as she slowly turned to face Mo Yan.

"Ye Ling tattled on me, saying that you never like the pastries I make, saying they're too sweet. This time... I'm making them the same way as before. If you... don't finish them, I'll never make them for you again."

"Hahaha, I knew that kid was up to no good. He really did tattle on you."

Mo Yan raised an eyebrow, looking at the exquisite pastries in front of her, but imagining the cloyingly sweet taste, she really couldn't bring herself to compliment them.

With her long, slender, and beautiful fingers, she slowly brought the delicate pastry to her mouth, but this time, Mo Yan found it wasn't as sweet as usual; instead, it tasted somewhat bitter...

Was it because of Ye Youxuan's tears? Or was it because... he forgot to add honey this time?

Mo Yan finally understood why Ye Ling was able to finish all those tooth-rottingly sweet pastries by herself: because... the farewell pastries... weren't sweet at all...

"Xuan'er... I have to go. We'll wait for you to come home. This time I'm saying goodbye to you properly, so... don't be sad anymore."

Mo Yan slowly bent down and, to everyone's astonishment, kissed Ye Youxuan's lips.

"goodbye!"

The sensation on her lips disappeared, and Ye Youxuan gently touched her lips, tears sliding down her cheeks.

"It's too sweet... They put in too much sugar!"
