Chapter 14: A Gift for Big Brother
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Wei also wore a similar accessory on his wrist. The gradient-changing woven rope had small natural shells on it. Such a cute and adorable thing looked out of place on a man in a suit.
Le Bao's two small hands were twisted in front of her. "Little Big Brother, don't you like this?"
Of course he didn't like it. How could a masculine man like him… How could he bring such a little girl's things?
Looking at Le Bao's slightly disappointed gaze, Ye Zhao felt a stab in his heart and couldn't say anything. He could only roll up his sleeves and put it on for himself. "I like it. It's very beautiful. Big Brother likes it very much!"
Le Bao suddenly laughed again. "If you like it, you should wear it every day! Take good care of it!"
Ye Zhao nodded with difficulty and looked at his big brother. "Brother, did you hear that? You have to wear your gift properly."
"Yes." Ye Wei unbuttoned his coat. "I will wear it properly."
Le Bao jumped happily on the spot. "My big brothers are the best big brothers in the world!"
Hearing this, the two of them laughed at the same time. Forget it, it was childish, but this was a gift from their younger sister. No one else had it.
At the Ye Corporation's private hospital.
In the air-conditioned office, Ye Hui took off his glasses and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He stared at the newly issued report in front of him and his gaze fell on the last line of the appraisal results.
After a short pause, Ye Hui put the documents into a brown envelope, took his car keys, and left the hospital.
The Ye Corporation building was still brightly lit at night. Ye Hui got out of the elevator and went straight to his father's office.
Before he reached the office door, he bumped into Xia Shang, who was about to get off work.
"Second Young Master!"
Ye Hui stopped in his tracks. "Are you in the office?"
"President Ye got off work and went home ten minutes ago."
"Already off work?" Ye Hui raised his hand and looked at the time, surprised. "Why did he leave so early?"
Xia Shang reminded him, "Didn't President Ye just bring Miss Le Bao home? She had an allergic reaction today, so Mr. Ye probably went home to visit her because he was worried about her."
This... How was this possible?
Based on his understanding of his father, he was definitely not like this. He vaguely remembered that when Third Brother was young, he had broken his arm mischievously and cried in pain on the way to the hospital.
At that time, their father was driving, and Third Brother was crying in the backseat. The family doctor kept comforting him.
Ye Chong stopped at the red light and looked back. "Is the bone broken very badly?"
The doctor replied, "It should be a misplacement. Third Young Master is in a lot of pain."
"Even if you cry, I won't be able to help you fix your bones."
His father's education model had always been to make them strong and independent. He never interfered with the children's preferences, so every child developed in a different direction. He never spoiled any of his sons. In Ye Chong's words, he never liked delicate children.
It was the first time in recent years that Ye Chong's office turned dark so early.
Ye Hui turned on the light and looked at the empty office. He put the envelope on the table and turned around silently.
Ye family.
Le Bao wanted to use the same trick again after showering today. The cute children's pajamas revealed her short and chubby little arms and legs. She ran to Ye Chong's room with familiarity.
In the room, Ye Chong heard a soft knock on the door and knew who it was.
He stopped what he was doing and deliberately did not respond. He wanted to see what this little guy would do.
Le Bao stood on her tiptoes and started knocking on the door for the second time. Knock, knock, knock. That wasn't right. Daddy should be in the room.
He was nowhere to be seen after dinner. Auntie Liang said that he spent most of his time in his room when he returned home.
Ye Chong's personal space was connected to a few other rooms, including a study, a video room, and a lounge.
Maybe he was in another room with good soundproofing, so he couldn't hear her?
Le Bao thought for a moment, then lay on the ground and shouted through the crack of the door, "Daddy! Daddy, are you inside?"
"I'm Le Bao! Hurry up and open the door for Le Bao!"
Ye Chong did not respond, but she called another person over.
"Le Bao, what are you doing?"
Le Bao turned around and saw Ye Wei, who had just taken a shower, coming up the stairs.
She quickly got up from the ground. "Le Bao is asking Daddy to open the door. I want to sleep with Daddy tonight."
Ye Wei looked at the tightly shut door and asked in confusion, "Why do you want to sleep with Daddy?"
"Because Le Bao is afraid of the dark." She looked at Ye Wei pitifully. "In the past, there was Mommy who accompanied Bao Bao to sleep, but now that Mommy is gone, there is no one to accompany Bao Bao."
"Sleep with me." Ye Wei reached out his hand to her.
The door to Ye Chong's room opened.
He stood at the door with an unhappy expression. "Aren't you tired from work?"
"Dad?" Ye Wei was stunned.
Ye Chong pulled Le Bao to his side like a little chick, and said to her with a serious face, "Your brother has to get up early tomorrow for a business trip. Don't disturb him."
"Dad, did you remember wrongly? I'm not going on a business trip tomorrow…"
Ye Chong glanced at him. He waved his hand. "Hurry up and go to sleep. I'll take care of this troublesome child."
Le Bao pouted and said unhappily, "I'm not troublesome. I'm very, very obedient."
"Alright, alright, alright. I got it. Annoying."
Ye Wei withdrew his hand in disappointment. He really didn't mind taking care of Le Bao. After all, who wouldn't want to rub such a cute and soft little ball?
While Le Bao got what she wanted, she did not forget to comfort the disappointed Ye Wei. "Big Brother, I'll look for Daddy today. I'll look for you tomorrow!"
She did not have the chance to continue. Ye Chong dragged her into the room and closed the door.
Aunt Liang suddenly felt that this cold house had a different temperature.
The dining table in the morning no longer looked like everyone was eating their own meals. It was probably because there was an extra noisy child, so it was much livelier.
She brought the breakfast to the table and looked at the harmonious family. After thinking about it, she couldn't use the word 'noisy' to describe this child.
Le Bao's small hand was holding a child's spoon and eating millet porridge by herself. She scooped up the porridge with one hand and took a bite of the little bun with the other.
Because she wasn't tall enough, she sat alone in the high chair and ate. Her hamster-like cheeks chewed on the food.
She ate very well. Every spoonful was sent into her mouth, and no excess food spilled on her plate or chest.
Ye Zhao took advantage of Le Bao's lack of attention and took a few photos of her.
"What are you doing?"
Le Bao opened her round eyes and looked over. Ye Zhao lowered his head and typed quickly. After sending the message, he showed his phone to his father.
"I'm sending a message to Second Brother to let him see Le Bao. He hasn't gone home to see Le Bao yet."
"There's also Third Brother and Fourth Brother. We should ask them to put down their work and come back."
Ye Chong thought of something else. He wiped his long fingers with a napkin and said thoughtfully, "It's time to talk to Second Brother about Le Bao."
Ye Wei and Ye Zhao looked at their father at the same time.
They all knew that Le Bao had gone for a paternity test the day he was brought back. Calculating the time, the results of the paternity test should be out by now.
