Chapter 69: Fu Chen meets Ye’s elders

Fu Chen fidgeted as he shifted his gaze occasionally between the papers in his hands and the time. He really couldn’t get Ye Jin out of his mind, so he put the documents in his hands and planned to leave the military office.

But before Fu Chen left, he was stopped by Adjutant Xiao: “Admiral, where are you going? This is the judgment on Marshal Feng just sent by the House of Parliament.”

“There are a series of methods by Marshal Feng and the Zerg Empire to mutilate the citizens of the empire and hinder the rescue of the patrol ship and the Internet. The Federation has also intervened.” He was informed as he handed the document in his hand to Fu Chen.

Fu Chen, who had already walked to the door, frowned tightly when he heard Adjutant Xiao’s words and lowered his head to look at the document in his hand. 

After Fu Chen finished reading the document, he pondered for a while and said to Adjutant Xiao: “Since everyone has already been locked up and sentenced, we can also intervene in the military affairs of the First Legion. But before that, we must find out the spies of the Federation and the Zerg, and we cannot let them continue to stir up trouble in the empire.”

Fu Chen arranged to go out, not giving up his plan to meet up with Ye Jin at all. It wasn’t until Fu Chen had arranged all the affairs that Adjutant Xiao discovered that Fu Chen was walking outside the military department. He couldn’t help but wonder, “Admiral, where are you going?”

Fu Chen turned his head to look at the curious adjutant and glanced at him blankly until Adjutant Xiao turned his head and ran away in a cold sweat. Fu Chen averted his gaze as he walked to the parking lot of the military department.

On Ye Jin’s side—

After eating lunch, he was coaxed back to Ye’s house by the old man to meet his parents. Ye Xu and Ye Lin’an also went back together after having Ye Fengcheng, who is Ye Jin’s uncle and Ye Lin’an’s father, come pick them up.

Ye Xu and Ye Lin’an were also going back, having been picked up by Ye Fengcheng, the father of Ye Jin’s cousin Ye Lin’an.

When Ye Jin followed Old Man Ye back to Ye’s house, he was shocked speechless by the wide and quiet courtyard of Ye’s house, which contained a decoration similar to the ancient earth courtyard as soon as he arrived at the gate. 

When he walked into the house, Ye Jin realized that although the decoration in the house was the type of the earth courtyard, it also had the sense of technology of this era. The way Ye Jin stared intently was similar to the way Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. 

**The Daguanyuan, variously translated as the Grand View Garden, Prospect Garden or Grand Prospect Garden, is a massive landscaped interior garden in the classic 18th century Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber, built within the compounds of the Rongguo Mansion. It is the setting for much of the story.

When Ye Jin met the relatives of the Ye family, he was dizzy at the sight of the relatives and the juniors of the same age. It was at dinner time when he recognized the relatives of the family. 

In order to escape the various heart-and-liver actions of the relatives, Ye Jin had to drag Ye Lin’an into the kitchen.

“Are you trying to scare me to death? Have there always been so many relatives in the family? How have you dealt with it all the time?”Ye Jin asked with a tangled expression while pulling Ye Lin’an to look in the direction of the living room at the entrance of the kitchen.

Ye Lin’an watched Ye Jin’s expression of fear, and rubbed his hair amusingly. “It’s because you just came back today that there are so many people. It won’t be like this in the future. The immediate relatives of our family are only the second and third uncles and the first generation of juniors in the family. Everyone else is here to get together. You don’t have to worry about it.”

Ye Jin nodded as if she didn’t understand, then turned her head and walked to the cooking table to prepare dinner, but was stopped by Ye Linan.

“You just came back today. We can’t let you cook. Sit here. I’ll call Xiao Xu in to cook dinner.” Ye Lin’an said as he patted Ye Jin on the head and walked out of the kitchen.

After a while, Ye Lin’an was followed not only by Ye Xu but also by Ye Hongzhou and Ye Qingzhou of the second uncle’s family, as well as Ye Lin of the third uncle’s family. The group of people stuffed the kitchen full. 

Ye Lin and Ye Xu are the sons of Ye’s third uncle, while Ye Hongzhou and Ye Qingzhou are the sons of the second uncle, and Ye Lin’an is the only one in the first uncle’s family. So it’s very obvious how lively a large family gathering is, making Ye Jin, who can’t get along with the elders of the family, very uncomfortable.

After Ye Lin’an led Ye Xu and the others to the kitchen, Ye Jin was taken aback by the five people standing near the kitchen cooking table who were planning to cook. He turned to look at Ye Lin’an and asked, “Brother Lin’an, you can cook?”

Ye Lin’an looked at Ye Jin with a look of surprise. He was so startled that no words came out of his mouth. Instead, Ye Qingzhou, who was standing next to Ye Lin’an, smiled and said, “Little cousin, everyone in our family can cook. Don’t judge by the fierce face of the eldest brother. 

He is still a capable person, to the point where he can be said to be the best among us. Unfortunately he has never been in the kitchen ever since leaving to pursue his career.”

Hearing this, Ye Jin looked at Ye Lin’an in disbelief. As a result, he saw him skillfully cutting the vegetables in his hand.  He looked at Ye Lin’an with grievance on his face and asked, “Brother Linan, you obviously know everything. Why did you lie to me when you first met? It’s really too much to pretend that you don’t know anything!”

Ye Lin’an looked at the few cousins who were afraid of the possible chaos at any moment and explained helplessly: “Isn’t this because you know that I will reveal it after getting along for a long time? I didn’t plan to let you know your identity so soon. Who knew so many things would happen.”

Ye Jin listened to Ye Linan’s explanation, thinking of his previous guess, he could only accept his statement. All of a sudden, Ye Jin thought of something that had made him feel very strange before.

When he sold the house and bought a shop, everything went very smoothly. According to his understanding of the laws of the Empire for so long, he is still a minor in Interstellar at the age of 18, so it is impossible for his house to be sold and arranged so quickly. 

There was also the issue of purchasing a shop in order to open one. Even if he is a minor, even if he cooperates with a scientific research institute, the process shouldn’t have been so smooth, but everything was so smooth at that time. The shop was even decorated and arranged before he bought them. It was so strange.

Ye Jin pondered this as he cast a suspicious gaze Ye Lin’an’s way, and after casting the gaze for a while, he asked, “Brother Lin’an, I suddenly remembered something. My shop and the house I sold were not done by your hands, right?”

Ye Xu and the others, who had been chatting and cooking, started secretly eavesdropping when they overheard the conversation between Ye Jin and Ye Lin’an. When they heard about Ye Jin’s previous experience, they even tuned down the sound of handling ingredients to hear Ye Lin’an speak about Ye Jin’s previous events.

When Ye Lin’an heard Ye Jin say that there was one more thing, he didn’t take it to heart, but when he heard that it was these two things, he immediately brought it up in his heart. 

When he thought that Fu Chen, who was going to kidnap his cousin, he no longer wanted to answer Ye Jin’s question. He could only change the subject and let Ye Jin teach others how to make medicinal meals and wink at a few cousins behind his back.

Ye Jin looked at Ye Lin’an taking care of him, and the suspicion in his heart became even bigger. Even when a few cousins came up to him for advice, he ignored them. He kept staring at Ye Lin’an with grievances, even while making small talks with his cousins.

Ye Lin’an felt uncomfortable all over, especially when the brothers who helped him entangle Ye Jin were looking at them with curious and gossipy eyes.

In the end, Ye Lin’an couldn’t stand Ye Jin’s piercing gaze any longer: “Okay, okay, don’t stare at me with wronged eyes anymore. I didn’t help you with your shop and house. It was your friend who helped you deal with it. He bought your house, and even the shop was bought by him. Are you satisfied with the answer?”

Ye Jin’s eyes widened in an instant when he heard Ye Lin’an’s words. Ye Jin was surprised. In any case, he didn’t expect that it would be Fu Chen who was helping him behind his back. 

At that time, Fu Chen was just a little wolf cub, and he couldn’t see that he had regained consciousness. Moreover, if it was calculated according to Ye Lin’an, it means that Fu Chen had already regained consciousness so early. So when he would take Fu Chen, who was still a wolf cub, to take a bath together every day,  ．．．．．

Thinking of this, Ye Jin’s expression was tangled and embarrassed, and his face flushed. He really couldn’t think back to that period of time; otherwise, he would be embarrassed to death.

Ye Lin’an, who had just finished cooking a dish and was waiting for the plate, noticed Ye Jin’s flushed face and asked, “Xiao Jin, why is your face so red? Is it uncomfortable? Why don’t you let Ye Xu take you back to the room to take a break? I will come up and call you after the meal is done.”

Ye Jin was thinking about it in his head and didn’t pay attention to Ye Lin’an’s words at all. He just nodded casually and was pulled back to the room prepared for him by Ye Xu.

As soon as Ye Jin entered the door, he threw himself on the bed and buried his blushing face in the quilt. After waiting for the blush on his face to go down, he carefully analyzed Ye Lin’an’s words. It gave Ye Jin a new understanding in his heart, so he couldn’t wait to send Fu Chen a video request.

In less than three seconds, Fu Chen connected to Ye Jin’s communication. When Ye Jin saw Fu Chen, who was obviously in the suspension car in the video,he put aside what he wanted to ask first, but instead cared: “Why are you still in the suspension car? Did you just come home from the army?”

Fu Chen looked at Ye Jin, who was lying on the bed in the video. He took a closer look at his environment, and said, “I want to surprise you, you will know later. Why aren’t you accompanying your grandfather and the others? Are you feeling unwell?”

When Ye Jin heard Fu Chen’s words, he suddenly remembered the purpose of making this video call. He sat up solemnly and said, “I am not unwell, but I want to ask you a very serious question now. When did you speak?”

Fu Chen listened to Ye Jin’s headless words in the video, but subconsciously understood his intention. His expression stiffened for a moment and he was a little guilty and short of breath: “Xiao Jin, why did you suddenly remember to ask this? Didn’t I tell you that it was not long after I went to Shita Star?”

Ye Jin squinted his eyes at Fu Chen, who was obviously tense, and said in a dangerous tone, “Tell me the truth; otherwise, you will look particularly good when we meet next time.”

Fu Chen sat in the cockpit and tapped his fingers on the back of the chair a few times. Looking at Ye Jin, who looked a little dangerous, he didn’t know why a trace of uneasiness flashed in his heart. 

In the end, he said honestly: “In fact, I was able to speak before I came to the Imperial Capital Star. I just didn’t want to leave you, so I kept pretending to be an ordinary wolf cub.”

After revealing this, Fu Chen was still afraid that Ye Jin would be angry and quickly pretended to be pitiful: “I really didn’t want to leave you, I was afraid you wouldn’t want me to keep hiding it if you knew I could talk.”

Who would have known that Ye Jin wouldn’t have shown any signs of anger after hearing this, but instead nodded with a smile on his face: “So you started liking me so early.”

Fu Chen saw that Ye Jin showed no signs of anger, and while he was relieved, he hurriedly said, “Xiao Jin, I’ve arrived at the place; I’ll talk to you later.” After speaking, he quickly hung up the communication.

At the same time, at the gate of Ye’s house, a black suspension car was slowly entering, and a tall and upright man came out from inside.
