Beloved One of the Prestigious Household-Chapter 308: The Ye Family

"Who? ’X’?" Qin Qianyi was momentarily confused when he heard Third Brother Qin Niexun mention it.

He opened his friends list and searched for "X."

There were no chat records with this "X"; the window was blank. He frowned, "I don’t recall anything. I haven’t chatted with this person."

Qin Niexun pondered for a moment and then opened the transfer page, revealing the recipient’s name.

(Yuan)

Qin Niexun mentally reviewed everyone he knew with the character "Yuan" in their name. After a few seconds, he raised his eyebrows in realization, "So it’s him."

Curious about who this person was, Qin Qianyi immediately asked, "Who is it?"

"Our big uncle." Qin Niexun replied.

He looked puzzled, "Big uncle?"

This term hadn’t been used by Qin Qianyi for years.

The only person who could be considered a "big uncle" was from the Ye family.

The eldest, the rarely seen Ye Xiaoyuan?

Qin Qianyi mumbled in confusion, "Is it Ye Xiaoyuan? The ’X’ matches, but I don’t remember him much."

Not only Qin Qianyi but everyone present had little contact with Ye Xiaoyuan. Additionally, the Ye family had deliberately cut off contact with the Qin family in recent years, so there was little impression left.

Little Qin Sui’an was eating her food eagerly, her little mouth never stopping.

Her ears perked up as she listened to the conversation between Third Brother and the others.

After swallowing a bite, Qin Sui’an looked up with curiosity in her big round eyes and said in her sweet voice, "Daddy, Ann hasn’t met big uncle yet."

Qin Haochen picked up a small meatball and held it to her mouth, feeding her while gently replying, "You’ll meet him in the future."

Qin Sui’an opened her mouth wide and swallowed the meatball.

She tilted her head, unsure of how long "in the future" would be.

For some reason, Old Mrs. Qin suddenly thought of the four luxury cars they had seen after the art exhibition.

She had heard that the eldest son of the Ye family was elusive and mysterious, with no one knowing his exact whereabouts or what he was doing, unless he chose to appear.

Sitting beside her, Old Mr. Qin noticed his wife’s momentary distraction.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Little Jin, what’s wrong?"

Old Mrs. Qin shook her head slightly, "Nothing."

Forget it, without concrete evidence, it was best not to mention her guesses.

Having finished his meal, Qin Yaoyu put down his utensils, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then approached Third Brother Qin Niexun.

As if holding back for a long time, he couldn’t help but ask, "Third Brother, hasn’t your team investigated Ye Xiaoyuan?"

"Nonsense. Is the team idle? Why investigate him?" Qin Niexun frowned.

"No, I mean, has he ever committed any crimes?" Qin Yaoyu squinted slightly, pondering something as he mumbled, "I think Ye Xiaoyuan seems quite mysterious. Maybe he’s involved in something unspeakable—"

Before he could finish, Old Mrs. Qin interrupted with a frown, "Yaoyu." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Qin Yaoyu quickly smacked his mouth and apologized, "Grandma, I’m sorry. I won’t say anything else."

Old Mrs. Qin gave him a slight glare but said nothing more.

The topic of Ye Xiaoyuan was put aside, as they had little understanding of him, and everything was merely speculation.

After dinner, the Qin family moved to the living room to watch children’s cartoons with little Ann.

It wasn’t until nearly nine o’clock that Qin Fujia returned to Bay Villa.

As soon as the car stopped at the castle entrance, he saw a row of bicycles that couldn’t be ignored.

Among them, a particularly mini and pink bicycle was unmistakably owned by its little owner.

Qin Fujia’s eyes softened with a smile as he was about to enter the castle but was stopped by Assistant He Yan.

He Yan, following the president’s instructions, informed Qin Fujia about the painting of the white goose and the fact that, for the time being, the only vehicles allowed inside Bay Villa were high-security bicycles.

"I see." Qin Fujia’s gaze settled on the cute mini bicycle.

After listening to He Yan, he nodded slightly, "Got it."

He Yan completed his final task for the day and bowed slightly, "Young Master Fujia, goodbye."

"Thanks for your hard work. Goodbye."

Qin Fujia took a few steps toward the castle, but suddenly thought of something. He turned and called out to He Yan, who was about to leave Bay Villa, "Assistant He, could you help me look into someone?"

"Certainly." He Yan asked respectfully, "Young Master Fujia, who would you like to investigate?"

Qin Fujia scanned the surroundings before saying, "A man named Boyce."

He Yan had a vague impression of the name and nodded, "Alright, Young Master Fujia. I will contact you as soon as I have any news."

"Thank you." Qin Fujia expressed his thanks and continued into the castle.

The special guest who delayed his return for dinner was related to this "Boyce."

Qin Fujia instinctively twirled the Buddhist beads on his wrist, his thoughts also turning.

The special guest was not "Boyce" himself but someone who was neither an enemy nor a friend of "Boyce."

The special guest’s request sounded odd.

Qin Fujia had yet to agree to the special guest’s request and left himself some time to understand the relationship between the special guest and "Boyce."

In the living room, the sounds of children’s cartoons and little Ann’s happy laughter mixed with the voices of the Qin family.

Qin Fujia collected his thoughts and entered the living room.

Qin Sui’an, engrossed in the cartoon, didn’t notice the footsteps until a figure appeared at the living room door. She turned her little head and immediately called out in her sweet voice, "Big Brother~"

After a day without seeing Big Brother, Qin Sui’an slid off her father’s lap, ran quickly to her Big Brother, and hugged his long legs, "Daddy said Big Brother wouldn’t come home for dinner tonight. Have you had dinner, Big Brother?"

"Ann." Qin Fujia’s eyes softened with a smile as he bent down to pick up his sister, "I’ve had dinner already."

He carried her over to the sofa, gently rubbing her head with his palm.

Qin Sui’an snuggled into his embrace, abandoning the cartoon, and sniffed his clothes with her little nose.

Qin Fujia noticed her little action and asked, "Ann?"

"Big Brother smells a bit stronger than before." Qin Sui’an looked up with a serious expression.
