“It’s not convenient for you to go,” Di Mingjue said. “You can’t leave the Ye family here, and the children need someone to look after them. If we all leave, who will take care of the children?”
Ye Ziyu was displeased. She stated, “I have to go. I have something to ask the doctor.”
She didn’t entirely believe Jiang Feifei’s words. Just because he had quadruplets in his arms, he could claim one died and easily take her child to sell?
Ye Ziyu held Di Mingjue’s hand. “I’ll ask Chen Han to help look after the children, and as for the company, I’ll have my elder brother temporarily hand it over to someone else. Mingjue, please take me with you.”
Seeing her expression, Di Mingjue realized she wouldn’t be able to focus on anything else if he didn’t let her go. After some thought, Di Mingjue agreed to her request.
They made arrangements for the children and their work overnight. The next morning, before dawn, the two left the Ye residence.
“Little Uncle, why is it you?” Qianqian asked Ye Chenhan, who had entered the room to wake them.
Usually, their Mommy or Daddy woke them up in the morning.
Ye Chenhan opened the wardrobe, looked at the various princess dresses inside, and turned to ask, “From today on, I’ll be taking care of you on behalf of your Mommy and Daddy. See which one you’d like to wear?”
The children quickly ran to Ye Chenhan’s side, their small hands eagerly tugging at his clothes.
“Where did they go? Why are you replacing them?”
“Do they not want us anymore?”
Ye Chenhan had only two ears but couldn’t handle the questions coming from three mouths. He looked at their adorable faces, which were sprouting fangs, and helplessly squatted on the ground.
The room instantly fell silent.
“Don’t worry, they just had to go deal with something temporarily. They’ll be back once it’s resolved.”
As the children opened their mouths to ask for specifics, they saw the panicked look on Ye Chenhan’s face and obediently closed their mouths.
With the quiet restored to his ears, Ye Chenhan returned to his usual suave demeanor. He ordered the children to stand in a line and instructed them, “Now go change and get washed. I’ll be taking you to school shortly.”
The children turned and busied themselves.
Seeing that they were relatively obedient, Ye Chenhan took out his phone and told Yu Xixi about the scene that had just unfolded.
He had originally intended to get praised, but instead, he was chided.
After breakfast, Ye Chenhan waited in his car at the entrance of the Ye residence.
“Xingxing, want to come along?” Ye Chenhan asked, looking at Xingxing, who had his small schoolbag on his back and a serious expression.
Since they were all going to the same school, he could drive them together.
The children looked expectantly at Xingxing, their gazes filled with longing.
*Please say yes, you must say yes!*
“Thank you, my driver is already waiting outside,” Xingxing said.
Ye Chenhan looked ahead and indeed saw a car waiting in front.
Since he had been refused, there was no point in inviting him again. Ye Chenhan turned and arranged for the other three children to get into the car.
“Little Uncle, is Xingxing this indifferent to you too?” Xiao Ran asked gossipy.
Hearing him, Ye Chenhan looked at him and said, “He’s like this with everyone, only talking more with Big Brother.”
Perhaps it was due to his background, but the Ye family didn’t force him to be as outgoing as other children. After all, Ye Shaoting, who adopted him, said nothing, so they had no right to judge him.
Xiao Ran continued, “We want to be friends with him, but he’s always unwilling. Even when Mommy asked him the reason, he didn’t say anything. Don’t you think he’s bored being like this all the time?”
If he could only say a few words a day, he would be suffocated.
Ye Chenhan ruffled his bangs and teased with a smile, “You little chatterbox, compared to you, Xingxing is like a child with autism. If you two were to balance each other out, you’d be Yuze.”
