Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 373

The person standing before him was strikingly distinguished and handsome: "I’m Ye Liyan, Jinxuan’s cousin-in-law."

The security staff immediately understood upon hearing this name: "Are you the father of Sili and Siyan?"

Ye Liyan nodded slightly: "Yes."

Everyone then warmed up and eagerly began talking about Ye Silai and Ye Siyan, which brought tears to Ye Liyan’s eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Chengxiang asked, "Are you here to take them away, or just to see them?"

Ye Liyan didn’t hide anything: "My current work isn’t finished yet, so I can’t take them away for now. I’ve come to see the children first, and I’ll take them once I’ve completed my work."

Zhang Chengxiang’s smile diminished, and he directly said: "Since you can’t take the children now, what’s the point of coming? Once you leave, our Director He will have to spend effort comforting the children."

Hearing this, Ye Liyan’s expression turned a bit awkward. He hadn’t considered this; he just thought of using his few days of leave to see the children and let them know he was fine, to reassure them.

A few days ago, after completing his experiment and returning to the Capital with the data, he learned of his wife’s passing, and the situation the children were in at that time. If it weren’t for Jinxuan, he couldn’t imagine how much more suffering the two children would have endured. With only a few days of rest, he hastily came to see the children.

But every family has its problems, and it’s not their place to interfere.

Despite feeling guilty, Ye Liyan was already there and still wanted to see the children; he missed them dearly.

When Zhang Chengxiang led him to Director He’s home, they saw the gate was locked, so they went to Xinyan’s, where they also found a locked door: "They might be out with something to do."

As they were about to leave, they saw He Jinxuan and Xinyan returning with baskets on their backs.

Zhang Chengxiang was about to call out to them when Ye Liyan stopped him.

From a distance, Xinyan seemed to be playfully speaking to He Jinxuan. As they approached, they heard Xinyan say, "There’s still a fish in the bucket. Let’s make another dish of spicy fish that Siyan loves."

He Jinxuan’s eyes were filled with affection: "Alright, I’ll check if there’s still any meat later. Last time, Sili really liked the shepherd’s purse meat dumplings. The two little ones will be happy this time. And expect that little guy Siyan to charm you until you’re dizzy again."

Xinyan reached out, intending to hit him, but stopped her hand when she saw He Jinxuan’s expression.

Following his gaze, they saw a suave and graceful man standing at their doorstep. She quickly guessed who he was, as Sili and Siyan had gained most of their looks from him.

He Jinxuan stepped forward and playfully punched him a few times: "Why did it take you so long to come back?"

The eyes of both men reddened at the same time.

Ye Liyan was overwhelmed with emotion: "I promised you before, that I would take good care of her, but I broke that promise. I failed Ninghui."

He Jinxuan might not know what exactly Ye Liyan was researching, but he understood that Ye Liyan had his duty; it wasn’t something he could just choose to do or not do. First the nation, then family: "You indeed owe Ninghui."

At this moment, Ye Liyan couldn’t control himself anymore and began to cry, covering his face: "I indirectly caused her harm. I miss her so much."

Afraid of drawing attention, Xinyan hurriedly opened the courtyard gate: "Let’s talk inside the yard."

He Jinxuan helped him into the courtyard and then said to Zhang Chengxiang: "Little Zhang, could you go find Sili and Siyan?"

He Jinxuan patted Ye Liyan’s shoulder: "Take good care of the Sili and Siyan she left behind, so she can be at peace. You three were her concern."

Ye Liyan wiped his face: "You’re right, they were her life. Taking good care of the two children will bring her peace."

He Jinxuan asked, "What are your arrangements for this visit?"

Ye Liyan was a bit embarrassed: "Cousin, I’m sorry. I haven’t finished this project at hand, and I’ll have to trouble you to continue looking after them for a while. I’ll complete the project as soon as possible, return to the Capital to settle down, and then come to get them."
