Chapter 1,148: Homesickness Grows Stronger as One Approaches

re two things I want to say: first, yesterday's update encountered issues on some free or pirated websites, resulting in missing chapters. I have no control over this and can only guarantee that the...Ye Bufan was driving. To ease Yi Luo Xiang's nervousness, he chatted with her on the way.

"Who else is in your family"

"Dad and Mom are both here, I don't know how much they've been hurt by me being gone for so long."

"Back then, I must have been possessed. To commit suicide for such a scumbag... Thinking about it now, I'm truly sorry to my parents."

Speaking of this, Yi Luo Xiang wore a look of self-blame on her face, regretting her foolish actions from back then.

Ye Bufan comforted: "Don't worry, according to your parents' age, they shouldn't be too serious."

"My parents really had a hard time raising me, especially my dad. When I was little, my grandparents passed away early, and he raised my uncle all by himself…"

Yierxiang began to talk, telling Ye Bufan about her family affairs non-stop.

My father's name is Yi Zhengwei, and my mother's name is Jiang Chunling. They were childhood sweethearts who built a multi-billion dollar company from scratch.

Especially Yi Zhengwei, he is a very capable person.

As they spoke, they arrived at the location in the west suburbs. Pointing to a solitary courtyard not far away, they said...

"Xiaofan, my home is right there. I grew up there. Dad likes quiet, so he bought a separate courtyard here and built a house..."

Just as the saying goes, "familiarity breeds contempt," when she got here, Luo Xiang choked up and burst into tears.

Having been trapped in the Dragon King's Palace for so many years, today I have finally returned.

Ye Bufan parked the car at the door, and the two walked hand-in-hand toward the entrance.

"Xiao Fan, I'm a little scared..."

Standing before the gate, Yi Luo Xiang tightly grasped Ye Bufan's hand, burying her head against his shoulder. Her expression was filled with palpable anxiety.

"What are you afraid of It's a good thing for the family to be together. Come on, let's go in. Your parents are all waiting for you to come back."

Ye Bufan patted her shoulder and then pushed open the door.

What catches the eye is a four-story villa, with a lush old locust tree in the center of the courtyard. The entire courtyard appears tranquil and elegant.

Seeing the familiar sights in the courtyard, Yi Luo Xiang choked up again: "Xiao Fan, I grew up under that big locust tree. Back then, my father often held me and told me stories..."

Ye Bufan squeezed her hand tightly: "Alright, stop crying. Come inside quickly."

"Hmm!"

Yiluo Xiang nodded, then gathered her courage and called out to the small villa, "Dad, Mom, I'm back..."

"Who is it What are you shouting about"

A young man, around 30 years old, wearing a bright red pajamas walked out of the villa, looking visibly annoyed.

Then he saw Iroko, and his face instantly contorted with shock, even a hint of terror.

"You... you..." are..."

"Cousin, it's Xiaoxiang. By the way, how did you get into my house"

The young man before us is Yilongxiang's nephew, Yi Pengfei. He rarely came to his own home in the past, and today he doesn't know how he ended up here.

"Xiao Xiang, it's really you! That's great, you're finally back."

After the shock, a hint of excitement appeared on Yi Pengfei's face.

However, Ye Bufan could tell that this guy was putting on a show. He didn't seem happy at all about Yi Luo Xiang's return.

"Cousin, how did you get into my house"

Yiluoxi asked again, in her memory, her father didn't have a good impression of this lazy and gluttonous nephew.

"Yi Pengfei said, 'That's it. You suddenly disappeared, didn't you My parents were worried that Uncle and Aunt would be too lonely, so they asked me to come over more often to keep them company.'"

"Oh!" Yirouxang didn't think too much about it. What she cared about most right now was seeing her parents. As she walked towards the room, she asked, "Where are Mom and Dad Are they home Are they okay"

"Um... Xiaoxiang, you're back at a bad time. Uncle just went to a meeting at the company."

"Well, my aunt went too."

"My mom went too She usually doesn't handle company affairs, does she"

Seeing Yi Luo Xiang's surprised look, Yi Peng Fei quickly explained, "It's like this, you've been gone for so many years, Uncle has been heartbroken and his health hasn't been good. So Aunt has been by his side taking care of him."

"I'm sorry to them."

Hearing that her father was unwell, Yilo Xiang once again fell into self-reproach and didn't notice the strangeness in Yipengfei's expression.

"Xiao Xiang, hurry inside and sit down. Where have you been all these years Why did you suddenly disappear"

Yi Pengfei enthusiastically led the two people into the room.

"That's a long story, I'll tell you about it another time."

As for things about herself, Yiluo Xiang didn't want to explain much to her cousin.

"Yipingfei asked, "Who is Xiao Xiang Your boyfriend"

"Hmm!"

Yi Luo Xiang softly hummed in response, then sneakily glanced at Ye Bu Fan, her cheeks flushing with shyness.

From the moment she inherited the Dragon Queen's Palace legacy, their destinies were intertwined. However, as they had only recently met and their relationship wasn't yet deeply intimate.

"Oh! Where does your brother-in-law work"

"I'm a doctor," Ye Bufan said calmly, "a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner."

The doctor is good.

While Yi Pengfei said so, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and the last trace of worry he had previously felt vanished.

Originally, in his mind, Il-ro Xiang hadn't returned for three years, and he must have been with this young man.

If the other party were a powerful family or a young master from a prominent clan, he would have to be more careful. But just an ordinary doctor, he wouldn't pose any threat at all, not even worth asking his name.

Yilo Xiang said, "Cousin, when are my parents coming back"

"Your uncle and the others are in a meeting right now, and calls aren't getting through. So, I'll send a message asking the secretary to let them know you're back. They should be back soon."

"Xiao Xiang, brother-in-law, look at me, I'm so happy I even forgot to make tea for you two. Just a moment, I'll go brew some tea right away."

After Yipengfei finished speaking, he hurried to make tea for the two of them. Yiluxiang looked around the room's furnishings, her eyes filled with nostalgia.

From the moment she stepped through the door, her mind was in turmoil, far from the usual sharpness of her insight.

Only Ye Bufan was watching Yi Pengfei, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Xiaoxiang, brother-in-law, the tea is ready. Try it, this is the newest Biluochun."

Yipengfei said, placing two cups of hot tea in front of the two people.

Yiluoxiang immediately picked up the teacup. She wasn't particularly thirsty, but after returning from outside, she wanted to taste what kind of tea they had at home.

Seeing that she was about to drink tea, Yipengfei looked over with unwavering eyes, his gaze containing both anticipation and ruthlessness.

"Just a moment."

Ye Bufan reached out to stop Yieroxiang.

"What's wrong, Xiao Fan"

Yiluo Xiang immediately stopped what she was doing and put down her teacup.

"It's fine, such good tea deserves a taste evaluation before drinking. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of good tea"

Speaking of this, Ye Bufan turned his head to look at Yi Pengfei, "What do you think"

"Yes, yes, brother-in-law is right."

Yi Pengfei nodded repeatedly, his expression a bit unnaturally flustered.

"Then I'll just say something." Ye Bufan lifted his teacup, blew on it, sniffed the aroma of the tea water, and then said, "This tea is good, indeed the latest Bi Luo Chun."

This fiery red hibiscus is quite good, and the portion is generous.

As soon as he spoke, Yieroxiang's expression changed drastically. She wouldn't have any doubts about what Ye Bufan said, which proved that the other party had poisoned the tea.

At this moment, she cast aside the complicated emotions she had felt upon returning home. Her eyes turned cold and sharp as she looked at Yipengfei.he still asked, "Well then, young man, what way do you plan to use to cure my wife's illness""Acupuncture, for this condition, just a few needles would do.""Poppycock," Wang Xuande shook his head and...
