The sky was dark when he returned home.
The entire Ye residence was quiet. Ye Chen crawled back into bed quietly. Su Yuhan was still deep in her dream from the Sleeping Spell. She had no idea that her husband had traveled thousands of kilometers in the middle of the night.
Ye Chen looked at Su Yuhan who was like a lazy kitten. There was an indescribable peace on her face.
“Yuhan, I know you’ve been blaming me!
Blaming me for not staying at home, for not caring about our daughter, for not accompanying you, for not being like the husbands just like other families.”
Ye Chen stretched his hand to touch her pretty face. He felt her calm breathing at a close range, he felt guilty, “Even if you didn’t tell me, I know that you’ve suffered a lot to be with me. Although I usually say that I’m lucky to be with you, it’s just not fair to you.
Please forgive me!
Everything that I’m experiencing is destined to make me fail to follow the rules like a normal person, but everything that I’ve done is for you, for our daughter, for my parents, for my whole family!”
At the end of his speech, Ye Chen pecked her rosy lips lightly before he came in contact with the Sleeping Spell that was casted on her.
He fell into a deep sleep.
“Ye Chen, it’s half past seven. It’s time to get up!”
Ye Chen was woken up by Su Yuhan after sleeping for less than two hours. He opened his eyes and saw that beauty was already dressed.
“There’s a last minute meeting at the company this morning that requires me to host. You’ll handle the competition Mengmeng is participating in Jinling.”
As Su Yuhan lifted his blanket, she reminded him, “I’ll be frank. You and your daughter are going to Jinling this time. You can’t cause trouble for me. Otherwise, you’ll be punished when you come home.”
“Are you going to torture me?”
Ye Chen extended his arm and pulled her into his embrace. Sensing the softness between his arms, he said not sure if he was smiling, “You’re really rebellious, do you know that? I’ll let you know what it means to be tortured now.”
“Alright, stop fooling around!”
Su Yuhan rolled her eyes at him after she broke free. She added with her flushing cheeks, “It’s about nine o’clock now. Remember to bring Mengmeng to the school to look for her art teacher. She’ll tell you the exact location and time of the competition. She’ll also take you to Jinling.
This is her number. Please be nice to her.”
She then handed him a name card.
“Okay, okay. I know.”
Ye Chen yawned and said in a teasing manner, “Say, wifey, shouldn’t I be getting some benefits from the big mission you gave me?”
“What do you want?” Su Yuhan was stunned a little.
“This, of course.”
Ye Chen pointed at his face.
“Bastard.”
Su Yuhan almost slapped him. However, she still walked over and kissed Ye Chen’s face. She punched him again, “You little bastard, are you satisfied now? Remember to wipe the lipstick stain on your face before you head out.”
After saying that, she left the room as if she was running away before Ye Chen could react. She was afraid that Ye Chen would ask for more.
The moment she left, a head peeped through the door, gloating, “Daddy, you’ve been scolded by mommy, haven’t you? Are you happy now?”
“How did you know I was scolded by Mommy?”
Ye Chen’s face turned grim immediately.
‘Do you think your father is that weak in your eyes?’
Mengmeng covered her mouth and giggled, “That’s because mommy stomped her feet and called me a bastard when she went out. I’m sure mommy wasn’t scolding me, because when mommy is angry with me, she would use her hand to ask me to keep quiet.”
“Get in here!”
Ye Chen waved and grabbed the little girl from afar. He said while pulling a long face, “You’re getting gutsy, aren’t you? How dare you tease me? Have you forgotten how I spoiled you? Also, I haven’t settled the score of you stealing my medicinal pills to go fishing.”
After saying that, he reached out and kept rubbing the little girl’s face.
“Daddy, I was wrong. I won’t dare to make fun of you anymore. At most, I’ll secretly laugh inside of me.
Ahh, grandpa, grandma, help!”
Ye Chen was speechless.
As the father and daughter bickered, a little girl stood timidly at the door. She looked at the father and daughter who were laughing. Her face was filled with envy.
Ye Chen only let go of Mengmeng after noticing that. He got off the bed and walked over. He squatted down to play with Qianqian’s hair and asked while smiling, “Qianqian, did you sleep well last night? Did your Little Sister Mengmeng bully you?”
“Big brother, I had a good night’s sleep last night. Big brother’s bed is very soft and warm.”
Qianqian nodded happily, “Sister Mengmeng didn’t bully me. It’s just that Sister Mengmeng would grind her teeth in her sleep.”
“Nonsense, I didn’t grind my teeth.”
Mengmeng, who was on the bed, could not take it anymore.
“If she grinds her teeth again, I’ll get a needle and thread to sew her mouth shut,” Ye Chen said while laughing. He then walked into the bathroom to wash up.
When he came out, his mother, Wu Lan, had already prepared breakfast. The two children sat obediently at the table, not daring to move their chopsticks.
“You guys should eat, don’t wait for me.”
Ye Chen sat down while smiling.
Not only did Mengmeng not pick up her chopsticks, she even looked at Ye Chen and said, “Daddy, can I ask you for something?”
“What is it? Tell me first before I decide.” Ye Chen immediately put on his guard when he saw how polite she was out of nowhere.
He knew his daughter very well.
She was a mischievous kid!
There was nothing she did not dare to do.
Mengmeng moved her lips and said hesitantly, “Mengmeng is going to Jinling with Daddy for the competition. Sister Qianqian will be alone at home. I can’t bear to leave her alone, so I want Daddy to bring Sister Qianqian along.”
Qianqian could not help but reveal a look of hope while sitting aside. It was obvious that she wished to go with Mengmeng as well.
“Daddy, just agree.”
Before Ye Chen could say anything, Mengmeng walked to his side and hugged his arm while being all cute. “Mommy won’t let me, but I really want to bring Sister Qianqian along. Don’t worry, I promise you that I’ll get first place in the competition.”
“First place?”
Ye Chen almost burst out laughing. “Alright, I agree. However, you’re the one who said that you’d win first place in the drawing competition. I won’t have to worry if your mother comes after me on this.”
“Alright, first place it is!”
The little girl instantly laughed, she squinted her eyes into the shapes of crescent moons, “It’s just first place, isn’t it? I can get it easily. Oh so easily!”
She muttered at the end of her sentence, “But Daddy is really too much. He keeps talking about mommy. Is daddy really scared of mommy like they said on tv?”
“What did you say?”
The little girl shook her head hard immediately, “Nothing. I said daddy is really handsome and that daddy is my prince charming.”
