Ye Moran stood outside the Cemetery, the biting cold wind blowing against her body, allowing her thoughts to cool down slightly.
She did not return with the Ye Family. Instead, she stayed behind under the pretext of wanting to be alone in peace.
Besides, she rarely returned to that so-called home. In the past, she only went back because Ye Jin was there. Now that Ye Jin was gone, she naturally had even less reason to return.
“Buzz!~”
Her phone suddenly vibrated. Opening it, she saw an expected message!
“Boss, the Ye Family has arranged for Jiang Yu to enter the Ye Family Company. What should we do?”
Just as Ye Moran was about to type a reply, the person on the other end called her.
The moment she clicked to answer, the other person’s voice came through.
“Boss, Jiang Yu gave red envelopes to the Sales Department Supervisor and the HR Supervisor, ten thousand for each person.”
“Oh? How did they react?”
“Boss, they didn’t show anything unusual. They all told Jiang Yu they would follow his orders, but they turned around and came straight to me immediately after.”
“Hmm, not bad.”
Ye Moran smiled. Her tone was unhurried, even carrying a hint of a laugh.
“Let them keep that money. Tell them they did well. Also… keep an eye on them!”
“I understand!”
“Boss, should we do something in advance?”
“There is no need. This is just Jiang Yu testing the waters; it isn’t his true method. Moreover, that poisonous snake is still behind him. Doing anything too early will only make them suspicious.”
“Just let them do what they want. You only need to watch them.”
“Alright, I understand!”
Hanging up the phone, Ye Moran smiled, but the chill erupting from her eyes seemed even more terrifying than this freezing winter!
“To think you would be so impatient to seize power. Just how much do you look down on me?”
“If that is the case, then do not blame me.”
“However, my time is very precious right now and won’t be wasted on people like you. Wait for me… just make sure you don’t play yourself to death before I get to you!”
She laughed wickedly, but soon, she tucked away her smile. She even took a few quick steps to get inside her car, using the sun visor’s vanity mirror to adjust her facial expression.
After all, she was going to see the little guy soon. She couldn’t let him see her like this, otherwise, it wouldn’t be good if she scared him away!
After adjusting for quite a while, she finally managed to reset her state. Her face returned to that gentle look, making her appear like a truly caring Elder Sister.
It was just that if one looked at this appearance for too long, there would always be a strange feeling. However, she herself didn’t think so!
***
When Ye Jin woke up again, it was already night. He rubbed his aching head.
He thought about it carefully and felt he had been sleeping a bit too much over these past two days.
He slept at night, and he was still sleeping in the afternoon. He only woke up when Elder Sister called him for meals!
But he didn’t know what he was supposed to do. Although the injury on his foot was mostly healed, it still hurt slightly when he walked. He didn’t have a phone with him, so he had no idea how to pass the time.
After staring blankly at the scenery outside the window for a while, he finally regained some spirit. He glanced at the plush pajamas he was wearing, and after a moment of hesitation, he decided to take them off and change into normal clothes.
Although it was already night and he would likely go back to sleep after dinner, wearing pajamas all the time made him feel like he was becoming a bit lazy.
If Elder Sister saw him being so lazy, she probably wouldn’t like it, right?
Ye Jin drew the curtains and slowly untied his robe. The loose pajamas slipped down from his smooth shoulders the moment he undid the sash!
The first things revealed were his two shoulder blades, which rose slightly with his movements, making his waistline appear more defined. Following that was his slender waist, as well as his small yet perky…
His slender, white legs were pressed fragilely together. His white toes curled unconsciously, as if he were afraid of something and unwilling to fully expose himself.
Being naked, Ye Jin first folded his pajamas neatly before looking for his clothes to put on.
Once everything was done, he pushed open the door and walked out, aimlessly wandering through the Villa.
He didn’t know if it was because the entire Villa was situated in the mountains or for some other reason, but it felt somewhat dim.
He wanted to find the light switches to turn everything on, but after searching for a long time without success, he could only give up in frustration and return to the living room!
Soon, his attention was drawn to something in the living room. Because of his foot injury before, he hadn’t paid attention to everything in the house.
Now was the first time he was truly looking at the room. At first glance, he noticed a good thing that could help him pass the time!
A television!
In a situation without a phone, a computer, or any entertainment devices, the TV became his best choice!
Without any hesitation, he even ran over to turn on the TV and skillfully tuned it to his favorite channel.
Coincidentally, the channel was broadcasting a cartoon he liked!
When he was a child, he loved watching cartoons. Naturally, as he grew up, his focus shifted to anime, but his passion for cartoons had not diminished!
When there was no good anime to watch, he would still turn on cartoons. Besides, the cartoons he watched as a child had been updated now, and they couldn’t really be called cartoons anymore; calling them anime was more appropriate!
He lay on the sofa, pulled over the blanket, and propped his chin up with both hands, watching happily!
He didn’t even notice when Ye Moran returned!
Ye Moran didn’t disturb him either. Instead, she stood quietly to the side, carefully observing the little guy. In her heart, she was thinking that the little guy was watching cartoons, while she was watching the little guy… No, she didn’t just want to watch!
In her mind, she couldn’t help but recall the images she had seen through the surveillance cameras on her way back, and she couldn’t resist swallowing her saliva.
The gulp sound immediately drew Ye Jin’s attention away from the cartoon. He turned his head and saw Elder Sister!
“Elder Sister, you’re back?”
When Ye Jin saw it was his Elder Sister, he laughed happily. The corners of his small mouth curled up, revealing two exquisite little tiger teeth in his joy.
“Mhm, I’m back. Are you hungry? I’ll go make dinner.”
Ye Jin touched his stomach and indeed felt hungry. He nodded quickly.
“Okay, then you keep watching here. I’ll go cook for you.”
Ye Moran smiled and walked toward the kitchen. Just as Ye Jin was about to turn his attention back to the TV, he suddenly remembered that he was no longer the young master of the Ye Family!
And he wasn’t Elder Sister’s biological brother either!
His mood sank, and he lost interest in watching TV. He really was being a bit lazy, doing nothing at all, even needing Elder Sister to cook his meals.
Ever since he was a child, he didn’t know how to do anything. His grades weren’t good either. He had always been pampered by his family, but now, other than Elder Sister, there was no one left to pamper him!
He couldn’t be pampered by Elder Sister forever. Even if Elder Sister loved him very much, if one day she found him annoying, what would he do then?
The thought of that possibility filled him with a surge of panic. He only had Elder Sister left; he didn’t want to be abandoned by her too!
He didn’t want it; he wouldn’t let that happen!
He had to prove to Elder Sister—prove that he was useful, and not just some useless trash who only knew how to trouble her!
He took a deep breath and walked toward the kitchen. He was going to help Elder Sister cook to prove he was useful!
