With Ye Xuan and Zhou Cuilan working busily, about half an hour later, five or six steaming plates of delicious farm dishes were placed on the table.

After finishing, Ye Xuan sat down at the table under Zhou Cuilan's invitation, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat these farm-style dishes.

These were just some simple farm stir-fried dishes, not even with meat, and certainly not comparable to five-star chefs' level, but Ye Xuan didn't mind at all, eating with gusto.

While eating, he casually chatted with Zhou Cuilan, who sat beside him.

The topics were not profound, mostly about family matters, just casual chatter that was down-to-earth, but this brought them closer!

Moreover, Ye Xuan's thoughts were very agile and he was able to handle these topics with ease. No matter what the two elders asked, he was able to respond.

Occasionally he would mix in some small stories or jokes he'd heard from the village, which not only bridged the age gap between the two generations but also enlivened the atmosphere, avoiding awkward silences.

After chatting for a while, the relationship between Ye Xuan and the two elders of Zhou Cuilan got significantly closer, with less awkwardness!

Chatting while eating, time flew by, and before they knew it, nearly an hour had passed.

The dishes on the table were almost all eaten by Ye Xuan alone. He obviously had no plans to leave even the last bit as he swept everything into his bowl and completely cleared his plate, eating it all.

Once he had finished all the dishes, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, patted his full stomach, and showed a satisfied expression.

"Grandma, your cooking is really delicious. I wish I could eat it every day!"

Ye Xuan burped and took the opportunity to compliment Zhou Cuilan's cooking skills.

"That's simple. If you want to eat Grandma's cooking, just stay at Grandma's house for a few more days."

Zhou Cuilan was obviously flattered by Ye Xuan's compliment and immediately replied with a big smile, unable to close her mouth from smiling.

Upon hearing this, Lu Miaochan immediately felt frustrated. Just as she wanted to speak up in rebuttal, Ye Xuan didn't give her the chance and quickly interjected with a grin, "Thank you, Grandma."

He glanced at Lu Miaochan and saw her unhappy face, which made Ye Xuan feel secretly delighted, his eyebrows almost dancing with his joy!

"Hmph, you little witch, with this little bit of skill you still want to compete with me? Just watch how I tame you and make you my girlfriend again. Hmph!"

"Ye Xuan, come out with me, I have something to say to you."

Seeing Ye Xuan finish eating, Lu Miaochan immediately threw out a cold sentence, feeling it was necessary to talk to him.

Seeing Lu Miaochan walk outside, Ye Xuan turned around and said to the elder couple, "Grandpa, Grandma, I'll be right back."

Having said that, he followed her unhurriedly.

"Old man, what do you think of this Ye Xuan? Does he match our Miaochan?"

Watching Ye Xuan and Lu Miaochan disappear, Zhou Cuilan shifted her gaze back and gently covered her mouth with her hand, whispering to Wu Dongqing beside her.

"I think he's good. This kid is quite stable and very simple." Wu Dongqing nodded.

"Hmm, I think so too. I also think this kid is pretty good and matches our Miaochan!"

Zhou Cuilan agreed, then added after a moment of thought, "However, this is just a first impression, it's too early to draw conclusions! Time reveals a person's heart, so we should observe him for a few more days to see what his character is like."

"You're right; let's observe him for a few more days to see if his performance is just an act or if he truly cares about our Miaochan," said Wu Dongqing.

While Zhou Cuilan and Wu Dongqing chatted quietly inside, Ye Xuan followed Lu Miaochan out, arriving at a secluded bamboo grove in the backyard.

Lu Miaochan stopped, turned to face Ye Xuan, her pretty face wearing a cold expression, and curtly said, "Ye Xuan, I've already broken up with you, stop pestering me like a haunting spirit! I don't want to have any more ties with you; I want to forget the past and adapt to a new life."

"That won't do!"

Ye Xuan also stopped, shaking his head like a rattle, and said, "You are my woman, I won't allow you to leave my side, and I won't allow you to say goodbye to our past! It's our shared memory! I will never let you forget it..."

As he spoke, he approached her, his lips curling in a mischievous smile, and he suddenly pulled Lu Miaochan into his arms.

His other hand moved down to her lower abdomen, gently rubbing it while smiling, "Besides, you're already pregnant with my child; how could I let my future child be fatherless? It wouldn't be responsible to him or to you!"

Lu Miaochan frowned, her face showing a hint of anger, and shouted, "Get away from me, I'm not pregnant with your child! Stop spouting nonsense here, making up lies!"

As she spoke, she pushed hard against Ye Xuan with both hands, trying to push him away and break free from his embrace.

At this sight, not only did Ye Xuan not let go, he actually hugged her tighter, making Lu Miaochan's delicate body press firmly against his!

His eyes flashed slightly; Ye Xuan raised his left hand, reached behind Lu Miaochan's neck, held her firmly, and moved his face close to hers, just an inch apart.

Staring fiercely into her bright eyes, Ye Xuan said very seriously, "Lu Miaochan, behave and listen to what I have to say! Remember, whether you like it or not, you are my woman, Ye Xuan's woman! You were, you are, and you will always be! You are mine alone, and I won't let you leave."

"Let me tell you, you'll never escape my grasp in this lifetime; it's impossible for us to sever ties. In this life and this world, you can only be my woman! Alive, you're Ye Xuan's woman, dead, you're Ye Xuan's ghost! Even after this life, in the next life, you still have to obediently come to serve me and bear children for me! Do you hear me!?"

Lu Miaochan was a bit frightened by Ye Xuan's fierce attitude.

She was stunned for a while before she finally reacted.

Feeling that her behavior was a bit embarrassing, her shame turned into anger as she shouted defiantly, "Why are you acting so fierce? Do you think I'm scared of you? Let me be frank, I won't be your woman!"

"Not in this life, and not in the next or the next after that, I won't have anything to do with you! Even if I marry a beggar, I won't be your mistress! You'd better give up that idea!" Lu Miaochan panted as she spoke.

"Is that so? Then you might end up getting a beggar killed! You should be aware of my ways; I won't allow anyone to covet you, no matter who it is! Be it a beggar or the President of Beihai Country, whoever tries, I'll eliminate them! Because you can only be mine!"

Ye Xuan looked directly at Lu Miaochan, speaking with unmatched dominance.
