  After finishing this sentence, Yuanyou didn't dare raise his head. Everything that needed to be said had been said, and there was nothing more to say. Yuanyou just wanted to leave.

  He turned around, and before he took a step, he was pulled back. The hand that gripped his was not as scorching hot as usual, but instead slightly cool, with an almost imperceptible tremble.

  Yuanchi turned around and finally looked up at Ye Heng.

  Ye Heng was also staring at him, his black eyes standing out on his snow-white face, his overly delicate features somehow showing a hint of weakness that didn't belong to him. His lips moved slightly, and his voice sounded like it was being squeezed out from his throat: "Xiao Xi, you're lying."

  Yuanyu didn't dare to look at him, the more he looked, the more his heart ached. He forced himself to speak in a cold tone: "Ye Shao, I've said it before, you're great in every aspect, and after careful consideration, I wanted to try being with you, but I'm sorry, these days of interaction have made me realize that I don't have the heart for it, and I won't force it."

  After finishing speaking, he coldly lowered his head and very seriously personally pried open Ye Heng's hand, then completely turned around and left.

  This time Ye Heng didn't stop him. Yuan Xi turned around and quickly walked towards the aircraft, boarded it alone, and took off.

  He accelerated the aircraft to its maximum speed, but aimlessly, like a headless fly buzzing around. He didn't know where he was going, but it seemed that if he stopped, Ye Heng's final gaze would appear before his eyes, and the suppressed pleading in the depths of those eyes made Yuan Xi's heart feel like it had been tightly clenched by a giant claw, causing him unbearable pain.

  It is only when one has left and lost that they realize how important this person was to them.

  This whole day, Yuan Xi seemed to have circled the entire Blue Island, until the sun was about to set and the sky was painted with sunset colors. He actually ended up back in this sea area after circling around.

  In another direction, he saw that figure from afar.

  Standing before the calm blue sea water, like an eternal statue standing still, without a single movement.

  Yuanchuan was stunned, and when he realized that Yeheng had never left, his heart suddenly felt like it had been scalded with hot oil. The suppressed heartache came flooding back, and Yuanchuan's hands shook violently.

  He felt he couldn't hold on anymore, and he regretted more and more. Maybe things weren't as bad as he thought. Ye Heng cared about him and was sincere with him. Although their views were different, if they communicated calmly, could they understand each other?

  Yuanchuan was almost convinced by himself, but when he raised his head, it was like a basin of cold water poured over his head.

  He saw a man, tall and slender, wearing a deep purple shirt, black fitted trousers, with elegant strides, looking noble but not luxurious. He slightly tilted his head, and his appearance under the sunset was also beautiful enough to win people's admiration.

  He is almost as tall as Ye Heng, the two standing together in the warm yellow sunlight, with the blue sea behind them, quiet and beautiful like a painting, making it hard to look away.

  The thoughts that had risen up in Yuan Xi's mind were suddenly shattered, and he retreated once more. He suddenly realized that if he left, Ye Heng would have even more and better choices.

  Someone who can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him, someone who can share adventures with him, someone who doesn't need to make him worry about what's behind, and be in the same world as him.

  Yuanchi couldn't help but shrink his body, then stepped on the accelerator and left thoroughly.

  Xiao is the son of Ye Xin and Jian Ming, Ye Xin is the younger sister of Ye Zhen, that is, Ye Heng's younger aunt, and Xiao is one year younger than Ye Heng, so he is Ye Heng's cousin.

  As they were only two years apart in age and grew up together from a young age, the two families had good relationships, so there was no need to mention the bond between cousins.

  Ye Heng raised his eyes and looked at him, but only said in a low voice: "He's here."

  Xiao Gan coughed and said: "It seems... this isn't the right time?"

  Ye Heng lowered his eyelids, suppressing all emotions, and said in a low voice: "Let's go, accompany me for a few drinks."

  Xiao Na's slightly raised phoenix eyes instantly became a mess... However, his reputation as a playboy in Beijing was not inferior to Ye Huai's. His sharp eyes naturally saw through Ye Heng's abnormality, and he also guessed seven or eight out of ten in his heart. At this moment, Ye Heng put forward this request, and as his nominal younger cousin, he shouldn't retreat emotionally or reasonably...

  It's just...

  Xiao sighed and didn't say much more, then followed Ye Heng back to the Xingyun.

  Ye Heng remained silent, only instructing to bring out all the good wine that had been stored away. He drank cup after cup, and even if he was just drinking by himself, the accompanying Xiao Liu had to keep up with him. If Xiao Liu slowed down slightly, Ye Heng would stare at him silently. Xiao Liu knew this person's drinking habits, so he might as well go all out and drink recklessly, one cup after another, without regard for his life.

  Xin Xiaoluo and Yimuya hid quietly behind the door, their two pairs of big eyes peeking out to take a stealthy look.

  "You said, did the boss and his wife have a fight?" Imiya asked in a low voice.

  Xin Xiaoluo slapped him on the forehead: "Nonsense, can Big Brother be like this if we're not arguing?"

  Yimia frowned with her pretty face, hesitated and hesitated, and finally couldn't help asking after half a day: "Then will sister not come to cook for us anymore......"

  Xin Xiaoluo couldn't help but give him another punch: "Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating!" After saying that, he himself was also quite worried. Eldest Sister's cooking skills were really good! If she got angry and didn't come anymore, they would have to live under the rusty smell of the smart housekeeper for years again.

  Thinking of this, he felt even more melancholy.

  Alas, after sighing and lamenting for half a day, these two were finally dragged away by Mingzi, one in each hand.

  Xiao was also very anxious, he wished that he could be taken away by Ming Zu and not have to suffer here.

  This wine is all good, and several bottles would sell for a high price at auction, but unfortunately, they were wasted on Ye Heng, who truly didn't appreciate them.

  However, at this time, Xiao Liu couldn't care about the good wine anymore. He was the one who needed to be rescued the most. Ye Heng's drinking capacity, others didn't know, but he knew it well.

  Ordinary people get drunk and become more and more guilty, more and more dizzy, until they fall to the ground and pass out. But Ye Heng is the opposite, the more he drinks, the more spirited he becomes, the more he drinks, the brighter his eyes are. Not to mention getting dizzy, after drinking all this wine, he can stay up all night without sleeping...

  The key is not to interrupt him. If you say a sentence, it's better if we drink less. Originally, it was one gulp per cup, and the next rhythm would be one gulp for three cups.

  Not drinking? No problem, I'll drink it for you.

  Xiao didn't dare to stop, and finally opened up and drank. For the first time, he hated his good drinking capacity. If his drinking capacity was a bit worse, Ye Heng wouldn't have pulled him over to drink with him. If his drinking capacity was a bit worse, he would have fallen headfirst onto the table, where would he still need to suffer this...

  So after dawn broke, Xiao Chuo thoroughly collapsed and was carried back to the rest room by Xin Xiaoluo and Ming Zu.

  And what about Ye Heng?

  Others were in high spirits and looked no different from usual. On the starship, they handled some work and made some arrangements before boarding the Stellaluna to head back to Beijing Star directly.

  The matter of sweeping the experimental base earlier has already been reported. Su Mingyu personally contacted him and asked him to return to Beijing Star once.

  He naturally couldn't stay long.

  On the starship, he still didn't sleep, but instead took a shower and did some nutritional care, letting the wine fumes dissipate completely.

  He returned to Beijing Star and did not return to Ye's residence, but instead went directly to see Su Mingyu. After all, it was a personal summons from the Federal President, and Ma Hu could not disobey.

  Even if Su Mingye spoke in the tone of a maternal uncle, after he took power, he would never be just a maternal uncle again.

  Ye Heng gave Su Mingyu a military salute.

  Su Mingyu smiled slightly, his black eyes filled with warmth and the undisguised delight in them when looking at Ye Heng. He returned the courtesy and then said: "Come on, sit down, just the two of us, no need to be so formal."

  Ye Heng nodded and sat down at Su Mingyu's lower seat, still with his upper body straight, movements square, and etiquette perfect, not a single flaw could be picked out.

  Su Mingyu first chatted with Ye Heng about some family matters before turning to the main topic and asking about the whole incident.

  In fact, Ye Heng had already submitted the written text, and Su Mingyu was definitely clear about it. However, he asked again, and Ye Heng didn't beat around the bush, summarizing it briefly with simple and concise language, highlighting the key points and appropriately expressing his own thoughts.

  Su Mingyu nodded in satisfaction, and finally he looked at Ye Heng, with a hint of guilt in his eyes, his voice very gentle:

  "Yeheng, you're a good kid and an excellent commander. I'm extremely satisfied with you, whether as your family member or as the President of the Federation. Your behavior, style, and approach to handling things are all commendable, and I take great pride in your outstanding abilities. You handled this matter very well, only... " He paused for a moment before continuing, "you might have to suffer some grievances."

  Ye Heng lowered his eyelids, and his emotions only had an extremely subtle fluctuation. He said in a low voice: "What are your orders? Please speak freely, Ye Heng will definitely do his best."

  Su Mingyu narrowed his eyes and spoke in an increasingly gentle tone: "Ye Heng, you've made a great contribution this time, but I'm afraid I won't be able to give you the corresponding reward for now."

  After finishing, he stared at Ye Heng and continued to say in a low voice: "I believe you also know that the experimental base is just a small tail. The giant snake lurking behind it is huge, and we still need to slowly explore it. If we publicize this matter now, I'm afraid it will startle the snake and make our subsequent work more difficult. So, for now, I can only temporarily inconvenience you."

  Ye Heng seemed stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "I understand."

  Su Mingyu stood up and patted Ye Heng's shoulder, saying: "Good kid, don't worry, we're a family, the road ahead is still very long."

  After leaving the Presidential Palace, Ye Heng returned to the Ye residence. His mother was not there, and his father was alone at home. Ye Heng told him about what had just happened with Su Mingyuan summoning him.

  Ye Zhen pondered for a moment and said: "Su Mingyu is testing you."

  Ye Heng nodded, this result, he had mentally prepared for it a long time ago, so it was not unexpected. From any angle, Su Mingyu would not let this matter be publicized. He had just taken office and Ye Heng had already discovered such a big problem. If it were to be made public, it would be a slap in the face of this president. But if he hid it first and used his own people to quietly investigate and expose everything, then severely punish them afterwards, that would showcase the abilities of this new president and be the best opportunity for him to establish his authority.

  As astute as Su Mingyu, how could he possibly miss this opportunity.

  It was just... such a direct entrustment to Ye Heng, and it seemed that it was indeed too much.

  Ye Zhen sighed and continued: "The other day, your uncle and Su Mingyu had another argument."

  Ye Heng's expression turned stern, and he furrowed his brow, asking: "Didn't Grandfather instruct Uncle?"

  "What's the use of advising him? Your uncle knows better than anyone else what's in his heart, but he can't control his own temper."

  Ye Heng didn't continue the conversation, he knew that Ye Xuan was old and had long been unable to suppress Ye Tian.

  Ye Tian's personality has always been overbearing and strong-willed, previously suppressing Su Mingyuan. Now that Su Mingyuan is above him, although he knows he should change his attitude, as the Grand Marshal of the Federation with millions of troops under his command, he is accustomed to their previous way of interacting, and it will take some time for him to make changes even if he wants to, not to mention that he doesn't have the heart to do so.

  If Ye Tian finds out about Su Mingyu's entrustment to Ye Heng, he will probably be even more furious and there will be another round of quarrel.

  But this matter will eventually come to light, and since Su Mingyu has done such a thing, it seems that he doesn't care about Ye Tian at all.

  In the evening, Ye Mu and Ye Huai returned together. Ye Mu had been quite worried these days. Originally, she had agreed with Ye Zhen to go to the Commercial Star to 'accidentally meet' her son and daughter-in-law, but who knew that something happened on her son's side, and their trip was forced to be interrupted. Ye Mu didn't care about Ye Zhen's excuses anymore, and had already made preparations to directly visit the Blue Star.

  Who would have thought that this time when I got home, I saw Ye Heng, and suddenly my heart was overjoyed. Could it be that my daughter-in-law and grandson had returned together?

  Oh dear, she's forgotten to dress up properly, but she must leave a good impression on the kids!

  As soon as he entered the house and saw Ye Heng, without even asking how he was doing, he directly asked: "Where are Yuanyi and Xiao Yuanzhe?"

  As soon as he heard the two names, Ye Heng suddenly stiffened and his expression, which had been holding on for a long time, could no longer be maintained. He called out in a low voice: "Mom, you're back."

  Ye Mu's heart was getting more and more uneasy, she could also see that something was off, especially Ye Heng, he wasn't like Ye Huai, who couldn't hide anything and wore his heart on his sleeve. This eldest son was so deep that even she, as his mother, couldn't fathom him...

  Looks like something big has happened!

  Before she could ask more questions, Ye Heng turned and went upstairs: "I'm going to rest in the house for a while."

  Her heart skipped a beat, this is...this is...what's going on?

  Ye Heng left, but Ye Mu was someone who immediately dialed Xing Xiaoluo's communicator on the distant Blue Star.

  Xin Xiaoluo saw that it was Ye Mu calling, and without waiting for Ye Mu to ask in detail, he rattled off everything he knew like a bamboo tube pouring out beans.

  Ye Mu listened all the way through, and after a moment of contemplation, she went upstairs.

  She knocked on Ye Heng's door and said softly: "Ye Heng?"

  There was no response inside, but just a moment later, the door opened and Ye Heng stood at the entrance with an expressionless face. He said softly, "Mom, I'm fine."

  "Didn't you hear? You're having a fight?"

  Ye Heng did not make a sound.

  "Son, it's not that mom is saying this, but these two people will always have some conflicts when they are together. To live a long life, you need to mutually accommodate each other..."

  "No."

  Ye Mu was stunned, she looked up at Ye Heng.

  "I was just overthinking."
