Chapter Eleven: Promises
When the Ye family opened the door, his face immediately became dark. Gao Yuan didn't dare to say more, so he held one, carried one, and quickly stepped into the door. It was in broad daylight, and this look was always not very good-looking. Ye Jing'er was starting to get drunk at this time. She was not afraid to see her mother. She hung on Gao Yuan's arm and looked at her mother, just smiling foolishly.
Ye reached out to help Ye Jing'er. As soon as Gao Yuan took off his hand, Ye Jing'er slipped out to the ground. Ye couldn't help him. Gao Yuan quickly helped him again and helped Ye Jing'er straight.
"Auntie, I'll help you." He whispered, his face very embarrassed. The two of them stayed there and turned into this when they came back. Especially Ye Jing'er was still an unmarried girl, and it wouldn't sound nice to say it.
Ye didn't say anything with a calm face. He turned around and walked inward. Gao Yuan dragged one, carried one, and followed closely. Speaking of which, he had been in contact with Ye for a long time. This was the first time he stepped into the neighbor's door.
Compared to his own home, Ye's home seems much smaller. Apart from a main room, there are only two small wing rooms on the left and right. Gao Yuan is estimated to be only one-third of his home's size. The furnishings in the house are sadly simple. Apart from tables, chairs, and benches, there is no decent piece of furniture.
Ye walked straight to the small room on the right, Gao Yuan followed quickly. This room should be Ye Jing'er's boudoir. When he walked in, he found that it was indeed a faint fragrance lingering in his nose. The room was very small, with no other furnishings except a bed and a wardrobe. The only decoration was that there was a bouquet of osmanthus in a pottery pot on the windowsill, which added a hint of bright color to the small room.
He helped Ye Jing'er to the edge of the bed and let go. Ye Jing'er was already soft on the bed. Gao Yuan didn't dare to look at him anymore. He quickly stepped out and carried Ye Feng on his shoulder to another room and threw it on the bed. Then he let out a long sigh. Only then did he realize that the vest was sweating. Uncle Lu was right. Just now, when Ye stared at him, he felt very stressed.
After walking out of Ye Feng's room, Gao Yuan felt a little embarrassed. Should he say goodbye to Ye, or just leave like this? He was still thinking in his heart that Ye had already walked out of Ye Jing'er's room. Seeing her face as heavy as water, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
"Young Master Gao stayed." Ye said, "How did Jing'er and brother become like this?"
"Aunt, I'm having fun at home and I made some wine. Today, I just drank a little bit, but I got drunk without thinking."
"Just drank a little?" Ye Shi didn't believe it. Both of them were drunk like this, and they didn't know how much they drank, especially Jing'er, a daughter's house, was drunk and unconscious, and she didn't know if the young master took advantage of it. Thinking of this, she felt angry in her heart.
"I really only drank a little. Auntie, the wine I brewed is different from what I sell outside. I can't drink it from, I'll get drunk as soon as I get more." Gao Yuan told the truth, "If my aunt doesn't believe it, you can go to my house to have a look."
Looking at Gao Yuan's eyes, Ye hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "I heard Jing'er talk about your winemaking. I thought you were just having fun, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"It's just good luck, aunt, I'll leave now!"
"Wait a minute, Master Gao, please sit down, I have something to say to you!" Ye seemed to have great courage, looked at Gao Yuan and said.
Gao Yuan sat down with some anxiety. He said that he should have been kind to the Ye family and didn't feel anything, but when they were alone, Gao Yuan felt an inexplicable pressure, and he thought it was strange.
"Young Master Gao, our family has been taking care of you over the years, thank you." Ye sat opposite Gao Yuan and said slowly.
"It's nothing, nothing, it's just a slight effort." Gao Yuan said humbly.
"For you, it is a small task, but for us, it is a life-saving kindness." Ye waved his hand and said, "I asked the young master to stay today because I wanted to ask the young master a word."
Gao Yuan's heart moved, "I wonder what my aunt wants to ask?"
"Do you like Jing'er?"
Gao Yuan did not expect Ye to ask so straightforwardly, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment and nodded vigorously, "Yes, aunt, I like Miss Jing'er very much."
"You want to marry her?"
"yes!"
Gao Yuan answered without thinking about it this time.
Ye was silent for a moment, "Young Master Gao, you are a good person and a responsible person, but there is one thing I have to tell you. You will make a decision after you hear it."
"Please say it, aunt."
"I have some hardships that cannot be expressed by others, and some enemies who are powerful all over the world. It's fine if they are not known. Once exposed, it will be a disaster for the family. If you marry Jing'er, you will be involved. Do you understand?"
"Is it the one from nine years ago?" Gao Yuan asked softly.
Ye was shocked, "How do you know it happened nine years ago?"
"It was Uncle Lu who told me that his aunt's family was very strange and it was probably related to the incident nine years ago. He told me not to provoke you."
"Then do you still want to marry Jing'er?"
"What happened nine years ago has changed, and it is not necessarily true that those enemies still remember you. Besides, even if they find out, so what if they find it, it's amazing that I took my aunt and family to escape. Yan State can't stay there. Let's go to Zhao State, Qi State, or even further away. The world is so big, is there no place for us to stay?"
"Are you willing to leave here? After you leave here, you will not have an official uncle to take care of you."
"What can I be reluctant to let go? With my lofty skills, I can make my aunt's family feel comfortable everywhere and not let Jing'er suffer any grievances."
"Okay, I will accept your words, Gao Yuan. If you want, Jing'er will turn sixteen next year, and I will marry her to you." Ye was silent for a moment, and finally made up his mind. "I only have one request, treat Jing'er well. This child's life is a miserable one. It was originally a life of golden branches and jade leaves, but he ended up with the luck of a girl."
"Aunt, to me, Jing'er is my princess!" Gao Yuan said solemnly and dignified.
Ye nodded heavily. "You should talk to Lu Hong about this matter. He is your elder and will eventually obtain his consent."
"I see!"
"You go, I'm tired!" Ye waved his hand tiredly and said.
After leaving the Ye family, Gao Yuan was full of fun. This time, he had done the right thing to make wine. He immediately decided on his lifelong affairs. Thinking of Ye Jing'er's busy figure in the kitchen that day, Gao Yuan couldn't help but laugh happily.
Ye family, Ye sat in front of Ye Jing'er's bed, stretched out his hand to caress the red face of his sleeping daughter, "Jing'er, my mother's choice may be right. It's almost ten years since your father was alive and never saw a corpse. There was no news at all. Ye seemed to have no future, and Gao Yuan might be your best choice."
