Chapter 111 -111: Do You Celebrate Your Birthday?
“Jie Jie, another piece of meat meat.” Zhengzheng said.
“A very good piece!” Junjun.
“Open your mouth, ah~” Haohao.
“Mmm!” Xibao.
The expectant and excited eyes of the four little ones were as if they were the ones eagerly awaiting to be fed.
Tang Yu gradually regained her breath and her senses. Zhengzheng actually called her ‘Jie Jie’, wasn’t that too clever?
She quickly secured the pieces of meat on all four forks in her mouth, her cheeks puffing out roundly, and hurriedly said, “Sit down in your places, eat up, little friends should be obedient.”
“Okay!”
The three boys waved their little short legs and climbed onto their seats, huffing and puffing, and began to eat obediently.
Xibao also started eating the meat in her bowl at a leisurely pace.
Tang Yu tried to suppress the guilt inside of her and looked towards Ye Sihan.
Considering his expression, there seemed to be no suspicion.
It must have been the four little ones calling her ‘Jie Jie’ that averted the crisis.
Uncle Wen said, “It seems the kids really like Miss Tang.”
“Like her a lot!” the four little ones said in unison, their voices milky and incredibly cute.
However, Tang Yu still didn’t relax her tense mood and chuckled dryly, “Maybe I look like their sister!”
“It’s rare to see such well-behaved children, and they aren’t picky eaters either.” Uncle Wen said cheerfully, genuinely fond of the four little soft dumplings.
Ever since they arrived, the entire atmosphere of the Ye Mansion had become livelier!
And Mr. Ye hadn’t chased them away, which meant he wasn’t averse to them, though his face didn’t look too good.
Junjun’s little fork went up. “Pick!”
“Don’t like west breeze four!”
“Don’t like!”
“Mmm!” Xibao, with food in her mouth, shook her head frantically, looking adorably silly.
What’s west breeze four? “Uncle Wen didn’t understand.”
Ye Sihan’s dark eyes were deep, “Tomato?”
“Yeah! West breeze four!” Junjun nodded and repeated.
Uncle Wen was surprised, then laughed, “So you’re just like Mr. Ye, not eating tomatoes? Don’t worry, there won’t be any tomatoes in the Ye Mansion.”
Tang Yu silently ate the food in her bowl as if she hadn’t heard.
As if it had nothing to do with her.
The meal was eaten with her on tenterhooks, and as soon as it was over, Tang Yu got up to leave.
Due to nervousness, she accidentally hooked her toes around the leg of the table, tilting her body to the side. Tang Yu gasped in fright, her eyes wide, “Uh!”
Just as she was about to fall, a strong hand hooked around her delicate waist and pulled her over.
Tang Yu fell into a safe and solid embrace, her body pressing tightly against the other’s, her startled eyes locked with those unfathomably deep black eyes that held a powerful pull, immobilizing her body and soul.
The four little ones sitting in their chairs stared in astonishment, their mouths forming an O shape.
What’s this situation?
“Thank you.” After regaining her composure, Tang Yu immediately stood up straight and headed towards the dining room door.
She had only taken a few steps—
“Jie Jie, play with us!”
Tang Yu turned around, looked down at the little chubby hand gripping one of her fingers. The other little ones were also standing there, staring at her expectantly.
She looked towards Ye Sihan, who was seated, as if seeking his permission.
“Go ahead,” Ye Sihan said in a low voice.
“Yay!” The four little ones immediately dragged Mommy out one by one.
Uncle Wen watched, his eyes crinkling into slits from smiling.
“Such adorable children, they really have a connection with Miss Tang,” he said. “With these four children at the Ye Mansion, it will become even more lively.”
As he finished speaking, a sharp gaze swept over to him, startling him into reining in his smile and quickly bowing his head.
“You really take them for my children?” Ye Sihan said coldly, “I’m merely sponsoring them.”
“Yes.”
Outside, Tang Yu swiftly scooted away with the four little ones to a corner.
“Why did you run over here? You can’t do that!”
The four little ones didn’t care, with no one else watching, they pounced on mommy.
Xibao buried his head into mommy’s chest, whimpering without speaking.
Tang Yu, holding their soft little bodies, felt guilty and her voice softened, “It’s mommy’s fault, I haven’t been home for days, you must have missed mommy.”
“Hm!”
“Miss!”
“Mommy not coming home!”
“We came to find mommy!”
Tang Yu felt heartache, but knowing it wasn’t the place to talk, she pushed Xibao away with a heavy heart.
She knelt down and had the four little ones kneel in front of her, speaking to them seriously, “Be good, listen to mommy, and we’ll go back with uncle soon, okay?”
“No!” Junjun was the first to object.
The others also refused with pitiable looks, tears already swirling in their eyes.
“It’s okay, at the latest mommy will be back tomorrow.” Tang Yu, afraid they would start crying, quickly covered Haohao’s little crybaby mouth in a panic.
“Hmm?” Haohao.
Tang Yu helplessly let go of his little mouth.
The longer she spent with the four little ones, the easier it was for her to reveal flaws, making Ye Sihan suspicious.
“This is not where we belong,” Tang Yu said.
Zhengzheng said, “Just now uncle hugged mommy!”
“Does uncle like mommy?”
“He gives us money for school, isn’t he being like our dad?”
“??” Xibao.
Tang Yu was shocked by their keen observations and guesses, facing the children’s puzzled and pure eyes, she hurriedly shook her head in denial, “No, no, he’s not your dad! Mommy was about to fall, and he just helped stabilise her.”
“Is it because mommy doesn’t like him?” Haohao asked.
“No,” Tang Yu said.
“Is it like?” Zhengzheng asked.
“It’s not like that. He’s mommy’s boss; mommy works for him, it’s not about liking or not liking. You staying here will disturb mommy’s work, be good.” For the first time, Tang Yu felt that explaining was a very exhausting thing.
Especially facing the questions from four little mouths.
It was hard to cope with.
Half an hour later, she finally managed to send the four little ones away.
Despite being very reluctant, they still listened to mommy.
Uncle Wen prepared some snacks and toys for them to take back.
Especially the chocolates Xibao liked.
Uncle Wen proved to be a capable manager who covered all bases.
Ever since the four little ones came by once before, Uncle Wen kept it in mind.
After sending away the four little ones, Tang Yu finally relaxed.
“Like kids?” The tall figure of Ye Sihan stood behind her, able to completely cover her body.
Tang Yu’s heart jumped, saying, “They’re very cute, adorable, anyone would like them, right?”
“Next month, I want to hear the news that you’re pregnant.” His low voice, carrying a threat, came down like a hammer.
Tang Yu’s body stiffened abruptly, her delicate and sensitive skin of the ear shrank due to the hot breath that spewed over it.
Then, the oppressive feeling retreated, and she heard the sound of Ye Sihan’s retreating footsteps.
She finally let out a breath that felt suffocating from her chest.
Her hands trembled as they touched her flat belly, pleading internally not to get pregnant.
Definitely not…
Ye Sihan had just sat down in his office chair when a knock on the door was heard.
Before being given permission, a head peeped through the door gap.
“Do you need coffee? Or do you need me to do something else?”
“No need.”
“Oh.” Tang Yu didn’t leave, paused for a moment, and tentatively asked, “Ye Sihan, do you celebrate your birthday?”
