Jealousy

The moment Ye Wanwan laid eyes on Ye Leng'an, a sense of wariness immediately welled up within her. Swiftly, she raised her head and glanced towards her parents. As expected, their gaze was firmly fixed on Ye Leng'an, their eyes betraying a mix of complex emotions.

Seeing her parents' demeanor, Ye Wanwan couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

The unattainable was often considered the best. This sentiment wasn't just applicable in matters of love but also in familial bonds. Whether her parents harbored the same feelings due to this, she couldn't say for sure. What she did know was that their fixation on Ye Leng'an stemmed from her prolonged absence from the family. Her refusal to return had fueled an almost obsessive attachment from her parents.

If it weren't for her grandfather's explicit decree forbidding Ye Leng'an from returning home and the need to keep her relationship with the Ye family a secret, her parents would have likely approached her long ago.
