The phone was hung up, and Ye Chenhan was still savoring what he had said on the call.
With news of her, wouldn't it be possible to bring her back soon if everything went smoothly?
Ye Chenhan was both nervous and expectant.
His sleeve was tugged down forcefully. "Little Uncle, what did Daddy say? When is he coming back?"
The three children looked at him with wide eyes.
Ye Chenhan walked over and sat on the sofa, pointing to the fruit above. "I'm a little thirsty."
Yu Ze understood his meaning and quickly picked one up to peel for him.
The orange was broken into small segments and placed in his mouth. With one person feeding him and another massaging him, Ye Chenhan lay there like a lord, enjoying himself.
Seeing that the time was about right, he waved his hand to signal them to stop. "What do you want to eat tonight?"
"We want to see Daddy," Qianqian said.
He had wanted to change the subject, but he hadn't expected these children to be so difficult to fool. Helplessly, he could only tell them directly, "Your Daddy has gone to Lincheng to handle some matters. I'll be here with you tonight. Don't worry, he'll be back tomorrow morning. If he's quick, we should be able to have breakfast together tomorrow morning."
After learning about Di Mingjue's situation, the children immediately began to discuss what they wanted to eat that night.
During this time, they had been eating with Shen Meixiu at the Ye residence every day. They didn't like the food, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Qianqian looked at Xiao Ran and Yu Ze, and affectionately climbed into Ye Chenhan's arms. "Little Uncle, we want to eat hot pot."
"Hot pot tonight?" Ye Chenhan thought of Ye Ziyu's usual strict requirements for them.
They rarely ate food from outside, and Ye Ziyu would never take them to eat it.
However, Ye Chenhan didn't think that way. How could there be so much junk food? It wasn't like they ate it every day. An occasional meal wouldn't make a difference.
"Okay, I'll make the reservation," Ye Chenhan took out his phone.
Tonight, he didn't have to go to the police station to stand guard, and he could also arrange to meet Yu Xixi. If he calculated carefully, it had been a week since they last met.
Once the longing spread, Ye Chenhan could no longer hold it back.
"Get ready, we're going out."
"But it's not dark yet."
Ye Chenhan had already stood up from the sofa, his body in a state of readiness to depart.
Seeing them dawdling and complaining that it was too early, he immediately put on a displeased expression. "Then you guys stay home first, and I'll go find my girlfriend."
"I want to go too," Qianqian said excitedly.
Ye Chenhan looked at Xiao Ran and Yu Ze, who remained silent, and bent down to pick up Qianqian. "Since they're not going, we'll set off first. After we're done, we'll come back to pick them up."
After his words fell, Yu Ze and Xiao Ran spoke up. "We're going too."
"If you're going, why aren't you going upstairs to change?" Ye Chenhan patted their buttocks. He then carried Qianqian upstairs.
Changing clothes was quick. The group tidied up briefly and then went out.
Half an hour later, at the Yu residence.
Ye Chenhan put the children in the car and got out alone. As he walked to the door, the servants in the courtyard saw him.
"Is Mr. Ye here to see our young lady?" a servant asked as they walked up.
The gate in front of him did not open for a long time, and Ye Chenhan impatiently opened it himself. "Where is Xixi? Is she in her room?"
"Our young lady is not at home," the servant said, and Ye Chenhan's action of opening the door stopped.
Not at home at this hour, where could she be?
Ye Chenhan took out his phone. Their chat records were still from two days ago.
"Our young lady has gone out to attend a party. It seems to be at a restaurant on Chunxi Road. I'm not very clear about the specifics," the servant informed him.
He had wanted to surprise her, but unexpectedly, he had made a wasted trip.
Ye Chenhan returned to the car in disappointment and decided to call Yu Xixi to ask for the address.
"Little Uncle, Little Auntie isn't answering your phone. Did you have a fight?" Xiao Ran leaned against the backrest.
