"I've only just arrived, why should I leave already?"
Ye Weitian understood the reasoning, but he just couldn't bear it.
He and his granddaughter had seen each other for less than an hour, was it really time to part now?
"Grandpa, Xiao Xiao snuck out on her own. If I don't get back, my parents will worry."
Ye Yan insisted on sending Ye Xiao away; he needed to protect his sister, not letting her get caught up in the conflicts between the Ye family and the Ancient Clan.
Ye Weitian could only shake his head with a helpless sigh. Although reluctant, what Ye Yan said was true. As the head of the Ye family, with so many eyes watching, he could not go to see her off.
Ye Yan didn't go to the airport to see off Ye Xiao either but had Uncle Ye do it instead; he stayed at home with the old man, fearing that the old man might not restrain himself and chase after her.
