"Ashe." Edward called my infant name, lowered his head and bit my lips.
The wind outside blew through the curtains, which was tender and peaceful.
The next day, when I woke up, Edward had not gone to work yet.
He put his arms around my waist and kissed me, "What's your flight time?"
"11 o'clock."
"It's still early. Let's continue sleeping."
Hearing that, Edward looked at me flirtatiously and said.
Then he was about to touch my body again, and I blushed. I glared at him, reached out and slapped his hand away.
Edward narrowed his eyes and stared at me.
"Edward, can you be more serious?"
I said to Edward with my face darkened.
He said evilly, "What? I'm obviously pampering my wife seriously."
As he said that, he bit my earlobe, and gently rubbed the tip of his tongue against my ear.
I was almost seduced by his flirtatious actions.
Fortunately, Ashe's clear and crisp voice sounded from the door, which brought me back to sense in an instant.
When Edward reached out his fingers into my pajamas, I pushed him away with force.
He fell out off the bed, and his handsome face completely darkened.
"Ashley."
"Stop it. Ashe has gotten up. You should get up quickly. Don't you have an important meeting today?"
I covered my body with the quilt and said to Edward who was unhappy.
Although he was angry, he had no choice but to put on his clothes with grievance.
"Well, you can do whatever you want when I come back."
When I saw his upset face, I went forward and hugged his waist with amusement.
Edward turned around and stared at my face with cold eyes, "Don't go back on your words."
"Okay."
I looked at Edward with a serious face and nodded.
After we dressed up, we went out and saw Ethel who was holding Ashe in her arms.
When I saw Ethel, I felt a little uncomfortable.
I held Ashe in my arms.
I touched Ashe's head and said softly, "Ashe, are you ready?"
"Yes." Ashe rubbed his face against me happily.
Last night, I told Ashe that I would take him to Western China, then he was so excited because he missed his great-grandfather so much.
It seemed that Ashe had a very good impression of my grandfather.
After eating breakfast with Edward, I asked the driver to send us to the airport. Cornelia had been waiting for me at the airport for a long time.
After saying goodbye to Edward, I got on the plane with Ashe in my arms.
Cornelia took my hand and said excitedly, "Ashley, I'm so nervous."
"Why?"
I looked at Cornelia in a daze and asked.
After getting on the plane, I felt a little dizzy. All I wanted was to sleep.
"I don't know what Ryan will look like when he sees me, I'm so excited."
Cornelia didn't answer my question and said to herself.
Ryan?
Since when did Cornelia and Ryan have such a good relationship?
I was speechless. I looked at Cornelia and said in a dull voice, "Cornelia, what's the relationship between you and Ryan?"
Did they fell in love with each other when Ryan came to Beijing? Thinking like this, I was even more speechless.
"Ryan is my boyfriend." Cornelia said to me proundly.
Hearing her words, I was so surprised.
Sure enough, Cornelia and Ryan fell in love with each other.
"How long have you been with each other?"
I asked again.
"More than half a year. He went back with your grandfather at that time. We can only chat on the video. I have decided to marry Ryan. He proposed to me before."
Cornelia said to me with a shy face.
"Does he mind your past?" I hesitated for a moment, then asked Cornelia with concern.
The Ye family was a big family. Although Cornelia became Lynn's daughter, I was really worried that Ryan would mind her past..
Then he introduced the clan leader, other relatives and five elders to me. When they saw me, they just nodded coldly.
I didn't care. Anyway, I didn't come here to see them.
"Is this Scott's daughter? I didn't expect that she has grown up so fast, time flies."
"Yes." It was the oldest man who spoke. His eyes were extremely sharp. When he looked at me, I felt cold all over my body.
Being watched by him, I didn't react in time. Fortunately, Ryan answered for me.
"Didn't Scott come with you?"
That man looked at me and then looked behind me. I immediately replied, "My mother is in poor health recently, so..."
"So she asked you to come here? Your mother had been driven out by your grandfather. In principle, both of you are not qualified to compete for the inheritance."
He said with disdain when he looked at me.
I almost got angry with his attitude.
Did he think that I came here to fight for the inheritance?
"Whether we're qualified or not, it's not up to you." I said to him with a fake smile.
"I didn't expect that Scott's daughter is not easy to deal with. She hasn't come back to the Ye family for more than twenty years, but she wants to compete for the inheritance as soon as she comes back." One of my aunts sneered and said to me disdainfully. With my face darkened, I didn't say anything, but just looked at Ryan.
Ryan shook his head, comforted them, then took me upstairs.
Those people downstairs seemed to be arguing about something.
When we went upstairs, Cornelia complained, "What's wrong with those people? They're really horrible."
"Mommy." Ashe, who had not spoken for a long time, pinched my hand and called me. Maybe it was because he was frightened by the strange atmosphere just now.
I touched his head and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Then he felt much better. He hugged my leg and asked me to hold him in my arms.
Ashe was getting taller and taller, and it was a little tired for me to hold him for a long time.
Seeing this, Ryan picked up Ashe and said to me, "Let me hold him. You go to see grandpa first."
I looked at Ryan gratefully and let Cornelia take care of Ashe. Then I went to my grandfather's bedroom with the housekeeper.
When I went in, there were a lot of doctors inside. I didn't know what grandpa and those doctors were talking about. He looked older than the last time I saw him.
"Grandpa." When I saw his white hair, I called him with tears in my eyes. When grandpa saw me, he looked happy.
He held my hand tightly with his old hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Ashley, good girl, you're here."
"Grandpa, I'm here." I sat on a chair by the bed and said. Those doctors left, and we talked to each other.
