After Ye Xunhuan and Wu Mei arrived in Jinmen by plane, they didn’t stay in Jinmen at all but headed directly towards the capital.
Back in Baiyue County, Ye Xunhuan had already told Wu Mei that he would take her back to the capital, not Jiangzhong City. After all, Qiu Ruoxi was in Jiangzhong City, and running into her would definitely cause some unnecessary waves.
Although Ye Xunhuan wanted to take Wu Mei to the capital, he never thought of taking her to the Qin family but planned, as he had thought before, to hand her over to Longshou. As soon as he got off the plane, Ye Xunhuan contacted Longshou and told him he had business with him.
Even though Longshou was curious about why Ye Xunhuan was looking for him, Ye Xunhuan didn’t explain over the phone, and Longshou didn’t ask further, knowing that Ye Xunhuan was heading to the capital.
Jinmen is not too far from the capital, and it only takes about an hour to get there.
Therefore, when Ye Xunhuan got off the train, he arranged the meeting place and time with Longshou in advance.
The place where Ye Xunhuan and Longshou agreed to meet was not somewhere remote or desolate, but in a hotel on Gui Street.
After receiving Ye Xunhuan’s call, Longshou arrived at the hotel early, waiting for Ye Xunhuan.
Time passed silently, and before he knew it, an hour had gone by, yet Ye Xunhuan and Wu Mei still hadn’t arrived.
However, Longshou wasn’t the slightest bit impatient; on the contrary, he appeared very calm and composed while waiting.
About half an hour later, Ye Xunhuan finally arrived at the hotel with Wu Mei.
When Ye Xunhuan and Wu Mei appeared in front of Longshou, he was taken aback, especially seeing Wu Mei with a big belly, his face was filled with profound surprise.
Having been through countless trials, Longshou immediately regained his composure and settled down.
"Sit down!" Longshou said calmly.
Ye Xunhuan and Wu Mei sat down directly beside him without any formalities.
After they sat down, Longshou immediately asked, "Would you like something to eat?"
"No thanks!" Ye Xunhuan quickly shook his head and refused, "I think you might already have guessed the reason I asked you out this time."
Longshou looked at Ye Xunhuan, then glanced at Wu Mei, and finally fixed his gaze on Ye Xunhuan, "You two..."
"That’s right, the child in Wu Mei’s belly is mine!" Ye Xunhuan interrupted before Longshou could finish, "As you know my current situation, I can’t personally take care of Wu Mei, so I want to entrust her to you. Can you look after her for me?"
Although he had already guessed as much, Longshou was filled with excitement and joy when he heard Ye Xunhuan confirm it.
Ye Xunhuan’s child would be his grandson, a descendant of the Ye family; how could he not be happy and excited?
After all, Longshou was unmarried and had no heirs.
He had watched Ye Xunhuan grow up and had always treated him like his own son. Now that Ye Xunhuan had a child, his joy and excitement were overwhelming, wanting to announce to the world that he, the Ye Emperor, also had a grandson.
"No problem!" Longshou agreed without the slightest hesitation or doubt.
At this moment, Longshou suppressed his excitement and joy.
Because Ye Xunhuan had already predicted that Longshou would agree, there was no surprise, and he softly said, "Don’t tell anyone, and don’t let anyone know Wu Mei is here, including Ye Fanchen!"
Longshou was slightly taken aback, and his joyful mood was somewhat diminished by those three words, Ye Fanchen. He looked at Ye Xunhuan, very confused, "Why can’t you tell him?"
"It’s not the time!"
"You don’t trust him?"
"That’s right!" Ye Xunhuan didn’t hide anything from Longshou, saying directly, "After that time, I haven’t seen him again, and I’m not familiar with him."
"Of course, I admit he saved me, but I also got him out of the Broken Cliff Residence."
By saying this, Ye Xunhuan made his meaning clear to Longshou.
"Alright, I won’t tell him." Longshou said helplessly, "But your little uncle would never harm you, you’ll understand him in the future."
"I must handle everything cautiously now!" Ye Xunhuan said seriously, "The child in Wu Mei’s belly is mine; if she falls into the hands of those with ulterior motives, I’ll be in a tough spot."
"I understand what you mean," Longshou nodded, "Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone know about Wu Mei, nor let anyone know she’s with me."
"Just make sure no one knows Wu Mei is with you."
Ye Xunhuan had previously encountered Jun Tianyou and Jun Wuhui, and they would surely inform the Jun family about Wu Mei being pregnant with his child.
Maybe the Jun family wouldn’t spread it around, but the news had already leaked, so Ye Xunhuan didn’t believe that Wu Mei’s pregnancy would stay a secret.
For now, all Ye Xunhuan could do was ensure no one knew Wu Mei was with Longshou.
Longshou was unaware of Ye Xunhuan’s encounter with Jun Tianyou and Jun Wuhui, and Ye Xunhuan didn’t tell Longshou about it either.
Sitting beside, Wu Mei remained silent the entire time, just listening to Ye Xunhuan and Longshou talking, or rather listening to Ye Xunhuan’s arrangements.
Ye Xunhuan didn’t talk much with Longshou before letting him leave with Wu Mei.
For safety reasons, Longshou had Wu Mei slightly disguise herself to avoid being recognized before leaving the hotel.
Longshou left with Wu Mei, but Ye Xunhuan didn’t; he remained in the hotel.
Ye Xunhuan was unsure if someone was secretly watching him, so he stayed to observe.
After Longshou left the hotel with Wu Mei and got into the car, he said, "You don’t seem very happy?"
"Actually, I really didn’t want to come back!" Wu Mei said with a bitter smile, "He forced me to return!"
"I could guess that." Longshou said softly, "But if I knew you were carrying his child, I would have brought you back too; I would never let you stay outside."
"Why?"
"Because my last name is also Ye, and Ye Xunhuan is my nephew!" Longshou said emphatically.
Wu Mei’s face changed slightly, looking at Longshou with great surprise.
She didn’t know the relationship between Longshou and Ye Xunhuan before, thinking they were just former superior and subordinate.
Now she realized that Ye Xunhuan and Longshou were uncle and nephew.
At the same time, Wu Mei finally understood why Ye Xunhuan trusted Longshou to take care of her.
"Rest assured, I won’t let anything happen to you, unless I’m dead!" Longshou promised earnestly.
