He waited at his mother's grave until it was dark before he got up and returned to the Yan family residence.

"Grandfather, I'm back." Yan Li's words seemed simple, but Elder Yan was still very excited. At the beginning, she didn't contact him. Elder Yan only thought that she was still sad, but after a long time, Elder Yan could guess that Yan Li should be blaming him for not seeking justice for her mother. Elder Yan could only use his own methods to find out about Yan Li's life abroad.

"Li'er, quickly come over and let grandpa have a good look." He was so excited that his hands were trembling a little. He stepped forward and grabbed Yan Li's hands to examine them. Other than growing up and getting taller, his appearance had not changed from when he was young. He hadn't changed at all.

Knowing that Yan Li was coming back, Elder Yan requested that Yan Tan also return home today. Ever since his mother passed away, Yan Tan rarely returned home.

"Dad, Li'er, let's eat first. We'll have plenty of time to talk in the future." Seeing that his daughter ignored him, Yan Hongzhuang forcibly interrupted her with a sentence to express his presence.

"Right, Li'er should be hungry, let's eat first. It's been a long time since you last ate with your grandfather, today we're making your favorite food." As he said that, he pulled Yan Li to sit at the dining table.

"Li'er, this is your favorite Red Braised Fish. There's also the ribs, the fried shrimp, and this old duck soup. Eat more." Elder Yan continuously served the dishes to Yan Li. His happy expression could not be hidden. He had waited ten years for this meal.

Yan Li spoke very little, at most she just nodded her head "En, oh." Elder Yan didn't advise him to stay by his side.

After dinner, "Grandpa, I'm tired, I'll go back to my room first." Yan Li really did not want to face Yan Yingguo, the indirect killer of her mother.

"Alright, you've been on the plane for so long. The room has been tidied up. Have a good rest." Elder Yan waved his hand for a servant to take Yan Li's luggage upstairs.

Seeing that Yan Li had gone upstairs, Yan Hua picked up the car keys and was about to turn around and leave. Elder Yan put away his kind smile and asked sternly, "What are you doing? Why are you out so late at night?"

"I'm going home." Yan Haohan answered honestly.

"Go home? Isn't this your home? Where else do you want to go? " When Yan Li was present just now, it was not good for him to be angry at his son. In these ten years, besides Yan Li not being at home, this son also had his own residence outside and treated this place as a hotel. Every time he came back, it was because he had no money and other than that, there was no one else.

"From today onwards, you must live at home. This is your home." Elder Yan ordered.

"Dad, why? I've been living outside for so long, and you've never asked? " Although Yan Hua was not as afraid of his father as he was in the past, he still had to ask his father for the money. He would still be more obedient, but now he didn't understand why he suddenly had to come back.

"Li'er has returned. Even though she has no mother, she still has us, so her home should look like it's home, and furthermore, it's also because of you, that's why she has no mother, although Li'er doesn't say anything, but her heart is still a distance away from us, so she shouldn't hold grudges against us. At the very least, we should give her a warm home, and you should at least restrain yourself from causing any other trouble." Elder Yan, for once, was patient and magnanimous in explaining the reason.

"Dad, I'm already used to living outside. I'm afraid of disturbing you when I suddenly return." Yan Yingguo did not want to lose his freedom, so he used a dignified reason.

"Fine, I'm not used to giving you money to spend time and effort outside." Elder Yan lost his patience and left these words for his room.

In the end, he put down the car keys in his hand and went back to his room.

He gently pushed open the familiar door and took a look. This room was still the same as before, with the pink princess style, the furnishings inside didn't change at all. Yan Li stood at the door and looked at the room in her impression, a kind of familiar yet unfamiliar feeling spontaneously arose.

The moment he opened the wardrobe's door, his eyes were firmly fixed on the princess dress hanging in the corner. His hands lightly trembled as he lifted and took off the dress, watching the silence for a while, before gently putting it back down. He restrained the sadness in his heart, as if he did not see the dress, and continued packing his luggage.

Just as she was about to finish, she raised her head and looked around, finally putting the cigarette back in her hand. Although she didn't like the current style of the room, she still didn't want to ruin the feeling she had. After all, her childhood was here.

Morning, Restaurant

"Good morning, grandfather." Although Yan Li was not used to it, she still took the initiative to greet Elder Yan.

"Why doesn't Li'er sleep for a while?" Elder Yan dotingly said.

"No need, I'm already used to sleeping only six hours a day." Yan Li answered casually.

A simple sentence caused Elder Yan to be filled with emotion. He felt even more guilty after going through so much hardship these past ten years. "Are you used to sleeping last night? It's been a long time since you've come back, and since I know what kind of room you like, I haven't changed your room. " Yesterday, he couldn't believe it, but this morning, when he saw Yan Li genuinely appear in front of him again, he finally confirmed that he was not dreaming, and that there would be no one left once he woke up. This kind of expectation had been there for a long time, and today, when he saw Yan Li's mood again, only Elder Yan himself knew how happy it was.

"Grandfather, I want to move out." Yan Li's tone was only as simple as stating one thing and not discussing. After thinking about it last night, she still felt that it was inconvenient to live here.

Elder Yan paused for a moment while holding the bread, "What's the matter, do you like it anywhere?" Elder Yan didn't want the happiness he felt at the beginning to disappear just like that.

"No, this place is very good. Grandfather, I have grown up and have my own living habits. I need an independent living space." Yan Li directly said what she wanted to say.

Elder Yan thought for a moment, then sighed, "Alright, there are still some empty properties left in the house, you can choose to buy one. Elder Yan thought for a moment, then sighed," Alright, there are still some empty properties in the house, you can choose to buy some. Elder Yan also knew that the current Yan Li was no longer the same Yan Li from when she was young. Living alone for ten years, everything could be changed. Faintly, from Yan Li's body, another kind of temperament could be seen, just like that of the adorable little Yan Li from his memories.

It was different.

"Thank you, grandpa." The money was only a number to Yan Li now. It didn't have much meaning at all, but the car was very convenient. It saved her the time to buy a car, so she accepted it all without being unreasonable.

After they finished their breakfast, the two of them walked out of the restaurant. Elder Yan was preparing to go to the company, but Yan Li went upstairs, just in time to see Yan Hongzhuang yawning as he headed downstairs towards the restaurant. It seemed like he was here to eat breakfast.

"Early? "It's still early. Look at you, I'm going to starve to death if I count on you." A punching bag came. Elder Yan didn't even want to get angry. He shook his head grumpily and went out to the company. After Yan Zhuang had sent his gaze back to Elder Yan, he turned his head to speak to Yan Li, but Yan Li had already gone upstairs.

Yan Li changed into a new set of clothes and prepared to leave the house. She was dressed in casual attire. Her long hair was tied up in a simple ponytail, giving her a refreshing and clean feeling. Passing the cafeteria, Yan Hua was still eating breakfast. His gaze was casual, the sharpness in his eyes made him a bit afraid, and he shook his head as he thought in disbelief: "You're wrong, she's just my daughter. That kind of gaze, it's impossible, she won't hurt me."

Yan Tan didn't know why Yan Li hated him so much.
