  Yuanchi's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "You call this poor? What am I then? Poor with only underwear left? Bah! At least I'm a farm owner, eating well, drinking well, and living in a big house. Where's the poverty?"

  He cast a discontented glance at Ye Heng, but Ye Heng just smiled and didn't bother to explain. Anyway, now that his wife was in charge of the money, he would soon find out whether he was poor or not...

  The two of them stayed in the study for an entire afternoon, and when they came out, it was already late.

  Zhao Chenghui and his family have returned home. Zhao Zhao was originally going to stay and play, but after witnessing such a thing, he needed some time to recover, so he also slunk back home with his tail between his legs.

  Yuan Cheng went to the farm, Lin Su Yun was feeding Little Yuan Zhe dinner.

  Yuanyu and Yeheng came out, Yuanye was originally focused on eating rice porridge, but suddenly shifted his attention, big eyes staring at the two dads, mouth started to babble saying something that no one could understand.

  Lin Su Yun said: "This little rascal still recognizes people."

  Yuanchi felt pleased with himself, thinking that the little thing had recognized him as his father. As for Ye Heng, he was absolutely just being polite because they were walking together.

  Upon seeing the little guy, the two dads' fatigue from a busy afternoon vanished instantly, and they both walked forward.

  Yuanyu said to Lin Suyun: "Mom, you rest for a while, I'll feed."

  Lin Su Yun nodded and handed a light blue small bowl and spoon to Yuan Xi.

  Ye Heng also followed over, Lin Su Yun saw that both of them had come over, so she smiled and went out first.

  Yuanchi said he took everything over, but actually he had never fed Little Yuanye rice porridge. Little Yuanye is more than five months old and has started adding complementary foods, but it's just the trial phase, eating the most common non-allergenic rice porridge.

  Yuanyu used a small spoon to stir the bowl, the rice paste was made with milk powder, the ratio was just right, slightly thick, can let the baby adapt, and feel the different taste from milk powder.

  Yuán Xī used a small soft spoon to scoop up a spoonful and brought it to the little guy's mouth. The little guy was completely distracted, staring at Yuán Xī with a smile. But when the spoon reached his mouth, he instinctively opened his mouth and took a bite.

  After seeing his son eating, Yuanchuan felt a sense of accomplishment and quickly came with another spoonful. The little guy was very cooperative, staring at his father with one eye while making "yum yum" noises as he ate deliciously.

  Ye Heng couldn't help but say on one side: "I'll give it a try."

  Yuanchi looked at him for a moment, seeing that he was very enthusiastic, so he made way a little and let him try.

  Ye Heng took over, with a smile in his dark eyes and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, looking very relaxed. He scooped up a spoonful of rice porridge and handed it to Xiao Yuande's mouth, imitating Yuan Xi's manner.

  Xiao Yuan Zhe didn't show any favoritism, after changing dads he cooperated very well, first giving a big smile, then curving his eyes and saying a few words in a cute tone before opening his small mouth.

  Ye Heng carefully passed it over, Xiao Yuan Zhe took a mouthful... and bit wrong... Immediately a spoonful of rice porridge was all smeared on his nose... Then the little guy actually pounced forward again, and his whole face was stuck to Ye Heng's face...

  Ye Heng was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Yuan Zhe's face, which looked like a small flower cat, also blinked along with him.

  A big tabby cat and a small tabby cat gazed at each other...

  Yuán Xī stood by, laughing with his head thrown back and his body shaking.

  Our Ye Shao, who can handle both the battlefield and the farm, has never been stumped by anything until now, but when it comes to his own son, he often encounters these unexpected surprises.

  Yuanyu smiled bluntly, but he still got up to get a small handkerchief for Yuanye to wipe his face clean. Then he took the bowl and spoon, and with a smile, said to Ye Heng: "Go wash up quickly."

  Ye Heng also laughed, with a face full of rice paste, he kissed Xiao Yuanzhe's chubby cheek: "This little rascal."

  Xiao Yuan Zhe didn't understand, so he laughed "Hehehe".

  Ye Heng went to the bathroom, and Yuan Xi continued to feed him.

  After a while, Ye Heng came back and saw Yuan Xi sitting on one side, with his eyes curved and smiling as he fed his son dinner. His son would eat a mouthful and say a sentence, making busy and happy sounds.

  Ye Heng paused for a moment. This scene was something he had never imagined in his previous life, but now that it had happened, he felt incredibly fortunate.

  He wants to grasp this happiness in his hands and never let it slip away.

  Wei smiled slightly and walked over to sit beside Yuan Xi. He looked at her quietly for a moment before suddenly speaking up, "Yuan Xi, let's get married."

  Yuanchi's movements suddenly froze, or rather, his entire body froze...

  Ye Heng stared at him motionlessly.

  After a while, Yuanchuan moved. He stirred the rice porridge again and scooped another spoonful to the edge of Yuan Zhe's mouth. Except for his slightly unnatural expression, he was no different from before.

  This attitude... emotions pretend not to have heard.

  Ye Heng had already spoken out, how could he let him get away with it: "Yuanyi, I'm serious, let's get married."

  Another sentence, Yuan Xi is completely unable to hold back now.

  He didn't look at Ye Heng, but calmly put down the small bowl and spoon, then carefully cleaned his son's small flower face. He picked up his son and let him lean on his leg, then looked at Ye Heng and said, "Too fast."

  Ye Heng was taken aback. He had imagined many reactions from Yuan Xi, even thought that Yuan Xi would directly refuse... but he didn't expect Yuan Xi to simply say it was too fast...

  What does this mean?

  Ye Heng tightly grasped Yuan Xi's hand and solemnly said: "Xiao Xi, I want to talk to you."

  Yuanchi stared at him, after a moment, he said softly: "Alright, you wait a minute."

  Ye Heng let go, Yuan Xi stood up and walked out with little Yuan Zhe. Lin Su Yun was in the living room and took over little Yuan Zhe as soon as she saw Yuan Xi come out. Yuan Xi didn't say much and went back inside again.

  There were many thoughts turning around in his mind.

  These days of getting along, how could he not feel Ye Heng's sincerity, or rather, from the moment they met again for the first time, Ye Heng's intentions towards him had never been hidden.

  This man has never been evasive about his affection, being very direct and straightforward from the start. Lowering himself to show weakness, seemingly careless probing, taking steps in everything, getting more and more involved in his life with a gentle but actually very strong and overbearing attitude.

  It's as if he should exist without anyone questioning it, and everyone should agree with it.

  Yuanchi was indeed a blank slate when it came to emotions, and towards Ye Heng's direct pursuit, he had no way of defending himself, but in the still of the night, he couldn't stop thinking.

  After calming down, he thought more and was more rational. He asked himself if he had no feelings for this man, and even said that he had a good impression. Gradually, he even realized that he liked this person.

  Otherwise, how would he allow Ye Heng to enter his life, his family, and share his precious son with him so unscrupulously?

  Yuan Xi had never thought of being with another person before, but at this time, Ye Heng said such words, and he was moved.

  It's just... why did you have to bring it up when I was feeding my son rice porridge? Yuan Xi puckered her mouth, feeling slightly displeased.

  But then he thought again, recalling the frequent scenes on TV where the male lead would kneel down with a large bouquet of flowers in front of a crowd and propose in an extremely grand manner.

  He was suddenly covered in a cold sweat, damn it, that's too cruel. The timing of this is quite good... Letting his son and Mihua be witnesses, great, just great...

  He went into the house and sat down, and Ye Heng leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Xi, do you have some feelings for me?"

  Ye Heng's question was actually quite cautious... Yuan Xi looked at him with a straight face and said: "No."

  He didn't wait for Ye Heng's reaction and immediately laughed again, with a curved smile saying: "Not some, but indeed like you, Young Master Ye."

  Ye Heng was stunned for a moment, and the next instant, he burst out laughing. The joy in his dark eyes was not hidden at all. He turned around to face Yuan Xi, looked down at him with his head bowed, and imitated Yuan Xi's tone, saying sternly: "Xiao Xi classmate, you've become naughty."

  Yuanyu smiled at him with a smile.

  Ye Heng's heart itched and he said again: "Come on, say it, like me."

  Yuanyu looked up at him, opened his mouth, and the words that came out were: "Ye Shao, please marry me."

  Ye Shao blinked his eyes, and then raised an eyebrow and smiled. Since he got to know Yuan Xi, he had been smiling a lot, but most of the time it was just a faint smile. Smiling so freely and heartily like now was extremely rare for him.

  Yuanyu couldn't help but look stunned, and he fell for the beauty's trick. He lost his initiative, and Ye Shao pressed her lips against his, a fiery kiss igniting between them.

  Once familiar with life, twice familiar with death. After being kissed for so long, the rustic Yuanchuan classmate also learned it, and this time bravely responded to Ye Heng, making Ye Heng almost unable to hold on.

  Fortunately, Yuanchi's business was not so skilled, and after kissing for a while, his head started to feel dizzy, and in the second half, he almost forgot to breathe. Yeheng only let him go then.

  Yuanchi panted heavily, his heart pounding loudly, as if it was going to jump out.

  Ye Heng's eyes were also burning with anger, but he took a deep breath and restrained himself. He sat face to face with Yuan Xi and said in a low voice, "Xiao Xi, there are some things I need to talk to you about."

  Yuanchi was still a bit dazed, he nodded and replied: "Okay."

  What Ye Heng said was very important. Yuan Xi was initially confused, but then listened intently.

  Ye Heng is talking about Ye's family affairs.

  The Ye family in Beijing is a top-notch family, and it's also very famous throughout the Federation. Three generations ago, the Ye family was only a second-rate aristocratic family, but after the birth of Ye Xuan, he shocked the entire Federation with his talent and pushed the Ye family to greatness.

  Ye Xuan is one of the top ten marshals of the Federation, a true leader of millions of troops. He spent his life on horseback and had many military achievements thirty years ago in the war against the Pantern people. Historians have evaluated that in that decade-long bitter war, humanity was able to win, and Ye Xuan made an indelible contribution.

  And in that battle, the ten major families that rose to power also reshuffled the federal government's regime, which underwent more than 20 years of change, and the division of power was also changed several times.

  Like the Yuan family, which has declined to a second-rate aristocratic family from its heyday, the rising Xing family is also gradually rising. The alternation of power has always been endless.

  But the Ye family has always stood firm, and Old Man Ye's achievements are not insignificant. He had two sons and two daughters, all of whom were extremely outstanding. The eldest son, Ye Tian, followed in his father's footsteps and joined the military at a young age. Although the Federation was now calm, small conflicts continued to arise. Relying on his exceptionally high talent, Ye Tian became the second Marshal of the Ye family.

  Lao Er Ye Zhen is Ye Heng's father. He didn't join the military, but instead focused on studying and entering politics from the grassroots level, eventually making it into the Federal Senate. Although he doesn't have a name as loud as Ye Tianlai's, he is cautious in his dealings, deeply understands the ways of being an official, knows when to advance or retreat, and is aware of the situation, which has allowed him to live a more comfortable life.

  The remaining two girls are also very promising, graduating from famous schools, beautiful in appearance, and gentle in temperament. The elder sister married into the Su family, while the second sister did not enter a wealthy family, but instead married her classmate. Although the young man is poor, he is ambitious and now lives a good life.

  Ye Xuan's children were all so promising, and the Ye family was even more prosperous for a time. By the time of Ye Heng's generation, Ye Tianyu had one son and one daughter. Ye Zhen had three children, namely Ye Heng, Ye Rong, and Ye Huai.

  After briefly introducing Ye's family affairs, Ye Heng finally got to the point.

  Ye Tian had a very good relationship with Su Mingyuan, the eldest son of the Su family, since childhood. The two had known each other since they were young and had always shared similar interests. Ye Tian was straightforward and upright in his dealings, having fought his way to success in the military. Su Mingyuan, on the other hand, was more cautious and smooth-talking, knowing that in this era without war, one needed to rely on gradual efforts to achieve success.

  In this federal election, Su Mingyu is one of the popular candidates. The Ye family, due to their relationship with Ye Tian, naturally supports the Su faction.

  At this point in time, Su Mingye's ascension is basically a foregone conclusion.

  But the direction of Ye's family after that is not necessarily very optimistic.

  Ye Heng chose such a remote fief, for one major reason, was to avoid trouble, the new president took office, but the Ye family was in power, this is not a good phenomenon.

  Some of what Yeheng said was ambiguous, but Yuanxi wasn't an idiot and could hear the implication behind his words.

  By this point, Ye Heng had basically laid out all the details of his family situation, and even some of his other thoughts, which Yuan Xi could understand in her heart.

  Finally, Ye Heng paused for a moment and looked at Yuan Xi, saying: "That's about it, if you have any doubts, feel free to ask me."

  Yuanchi nodded.

  Ye Heng said again: "Xiao Xi, I hope to know some things about you."
