âWow, look at you, bringing home the beauty! Youâre even talking differently,â Ye Fan teased.
Indeed.
In the past, this guy rarely joked around, let alone such teasing jokes.
Ye Fan laughed and gave Fang Dajian a friendly hit on the shoulder.
Let this guy swagger a bit today, itâs his wedding after all.
Hahaha
Seeing his brother getting married, Ye Fan was also very happy.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âLetâs go inside,â Fang Dajian said.
âSure thing,â Ye Fan replied with a smile.
Bai Susu and Jenny exchanged a few words, laughing, and then followed Ye Fan inside.
Upon entering, they saw Zhao Xiaotian and Bai Ruoxue. Both were serving as bridesmaid and groomsman.
The group sat down together and immediately started chatting.
âCousin, youâve been so busy lately, you hardly find time to call me,â Bai Susu commented.
Indeed, it was the same when she called Bai Ruoxue, who always seemed too busy to talk for long.
Sigh
âYou know, youâre a mom now. You should keep the phone at a distance to protect the child from the radiation, after all, these electronics can be harmful to the fetus!â Bai Ruoxue advised.
Truth be told, she was quite envious of her younger cousin.
She married so well, and has such a loving man by her side.
And, of course, a bunch of adorable kids.
Itâs like reaching the ceiling of marital bliss, unreachable.
âGot it, hehe, Iâm wearing the anti-radiation outfit Ye Fan bought for me,â Bai Susu said with a smile.
Indeed, Ye Fan had prepared a lot for her, including many baby supplies.
âYe Fan truly is an exceptional husband!â Bai Ruoxue said enviously.
âYou can say that again. My brother Ye Fan is a rare find, even with a lantern,â Zhao Xiaotian chimed in.
Ye Fanâs kindness to his wife was something he had seen with his own eyes.
In the future, he planned to treat Bai Ruoxue just as well.
He should study and learn from Ye Fan.
After all, Bai Ruoxue is Bai Susuâs cousin, and besides, itâs only right to treat oneâs woman well.
He intended to become a mad protector of his wife!
âA good man, sure, but calling him an exceptional husband might be stretching it. He doesnât quite reach that height,â Ye Fan said with a smile.
His affection for Bai Susu came from the heart.
When you like someone, when you love someone, you naturally care for them deeply, without even trying.
Thatâs how Ye Fan was.
So, all these superfluous titles and praises didnât matter to him.
âXiaotian, you should study how my brother-in-law does it, and if you donât treat me well, Iâll sort you out and not marry you, hmph!â Bai Ruoxue playfully warned Zhao Xiaotian.
However, she was only joking.
âYe Fan, did you hear that? Youâve got to teach me well. Otherwise, I wonât have the good life or happiness,â Zhao Xiaotian said to Ye Fan.
Adoring oneâs wife is wonderful, so learning is no issue.
And he was certainly taking notes.
Zhao Xiaotian also wanted to treat his loved one well, but his carefree nature often overlooked details.
âActually, thereâs nothing much to learn. Just follow your heart,â Ye Fan said with a laugh.
âIs that so? Iâll give it a try then,â Zhao Xiaotian said.
âAlright, you do treat me well, I was just teasing, Xiaotian,â Bai Ruoxue added.
Of course, Zhao Xiaotian wasnât bad to her either.
Hehe.
âI know, but when you love someone, you always want to treat them even better, and I want to be even better for you!â Zhao Xiaotian expressed.
At that moment, Bai Ruoxue looked at Zhao Xiaotian and smiled, her cheeks flushing a bit.
Ye Fan and Bai Susu watched this scene unfold and couldnât help but smile.
The couple seemed happier than they had imagined.
Thatâs how it should be!
They were relieved.
After all, Zhao Xiaotian was a year younger than Bai Ruoxue, which had been a concern for Ye Fan and Bai Susu.
But now, it seemed theyâd worried over nothing.
Soon, the guests began arriving one after another.
The MC took the stage at the front and started the proceedings.
Ye Fan held Bai Susuâs hand tightly, noticing for some reason, her hand was somewhat cold.
âSusu, are you feeling unwell?â Ye Fan asked with concern, furrowing his brow.
âNot at all, just a bit jittery!â Bai Susu replied.
She didnât feel ill, merely a bit nervous.
And it wouldnât go away.
She couldnât explain why.
âAfter a while, letâs go to the hospital to check it out. Your hand is ice-cold, and Iâm worried about you,â Ye Fan said.
This girl, always causing him worry.
Besides, Ye Fan considered Bai Susu very important, and with her being pregnant, it was natural to be even more cautious.
Some things you simply cannot afford to overlook.
If something went wrong, regret would be too late.
âActually, thereâs nothing wrong,â Bai Susu insisted.
â`
âSusu, youâre not alone right now, youâre two people, with a baby still in your belly. Besides, even if you werenât pregnant, Iâd still be worried about you. Your complexion is too poor, and your hands are too cold,â Ye Fan said solemnly, looking at Bai Susu.
His heart clenched at the sight of her.
Soon, Fang Dajian and Jenny exchanged rings.
They received blessings from everyone.
The newlywedsâ relatives then arranged for everyone to take their seats.
The dishes were served quickly.
It was during this time that Ye Fanâs phone rang. He checked it and saw it was a call from the childrenâs kindergarten.
Werenât the children at school learning at this hour?
Why would the teacher be calling now?
âWhose call is it?â Bai Susu asked Ye Fan immediately upon seeing him.
She felt particularly sensitive today because of her unusual state.
âItâs from the childrenâs school, Iâll take it,â Ye Fan said and promptly answered, stepping outside with the phone in hand.
âHello, is that Teacher Huang Ying?â Ye Fan spoke as he took the call.
âYe Fan, Mr. Ye, itâs terrible, someone has burst into the school with a gun in hand, he has already killed a lot of people, heâs demanding you come to the school, otherwise, otherwise heâll kill the children, and he has alreadyâ¦â Huang Ying continued frantically, but the call was suddenly snatched away.
âYe Fan, Iâm giving you thirty minutes to get to Jiangnan Kindergarten, or all four of your precious children will die!â came the sinister voice from the phone.
âNo, donât hurt the children, Iâll be there right away, right away!â Hearing this, Ye Fan immediately panicked.
The children, his children were in danger.
Damn it!
He, Ye Fan, could disregard anything but his family.
His family was his Achillesâ heel, touch it andâ¦
âAnd, feel free to call the police, Iâm not afraid. After all, Iâm old and should be dead. With a bunch of children and teachers here, Iâd say Iâd die with value, haha. Do you recognize me? Do you remember how two years ago, at my sonâs wedding, you accused me, getting me locked up, my son crippled, all because of you? I want blood for blood!â the raspy voice spoke with intense murderous intent over the phone.
âAs long as you donât harm the children, I agree to anything, Iâll be there immediately, Iâm on my way!â Ye Fan took a deep breath, his eyes already bloodshot.
Damn!
It was him, Jia Zhendong!
Released!
Who wouldâve thought heâd seek revenge the moment he was out!
His own children, only three years old, they must be terrified now.
At this moment, Ye Fan truly felt utterly helpless!
He couldnât even protect his own children.
If he had paid more attention to Jia Zhendong earlier, this would not have happened.
Damn it, damn it.
âHow does it feel, Ye Fan? Are you suffering now? Haha, youâve finally experienced my pain. Oh, how angry you must be, how mad, how painful it must be for you! Iâm here to drive you mad, to make you suffer. As long as youâre miserable, Iâm happy. Ye Fan, thirty minutes. Iâve brought explosives, and if you donât show up, Iâll blow this whole place up. Treasure your time, youâve got only thirty minutes!â Jia Zhendong hung up after saying those words.
Hearing this, Ye Fan got even more panicked.
No, he couldnât panic!
He couldnât let Bai Susu find out about this; she was pregnant, and if she knew, she would be subjected to inhumane shock, and that would beâ¦
Ye Fan struggled to calm himself and walked back in.
âYe Fan, what exactly happened?â Bai Susu could tell something was off.
She could see that Ye Fanâs face looked terrible.
Her heart was in turmoil.
What on earth had happened?
âItâs nothing, you stay here. Cousin, Xiaotian, please take good care of Susu. I need to step out for a bit, Iâll be back soon. Donât worry, wait for me to return!â Ye Fan spoke.
âYe Fan, donât worry, Iâll take good care of Susu,â Bai Ruoxue said.
Though she didnât know what had happened, it must be important and urgent.
Otherwise, Ye Fan wouldnât look so distraught.
Sheâd take care of her cousin well.
âYe Fan, do you want me to come with you?â Zhao Xiaotian stood up and offered.
âNo need, Iâll go alone. Iâll be back soon!â With that, Ye Fan turned and left.
At that moment, Bai Susuâs heart was fraught with intense worry.
As soon as Ye Fan left the hotel, he had Bai Qi drive him to Jiangnan Kindergarten.
Bai Qi asked no questions and drove straight to the kindergarten.
He could see that his master was in a hurry.
It was the first time he had seen his master like this.
He instinctively sped up.
Meanwhile, at the playground of Jiangnan Kindergarten, a group of children had been brought out and were crouching on the ground, their tears long dried, their little faces streaked from crying.
Four or five kindergarten teachers were huddled, heads in their hands, crouching on the ground.
And a security guard, clutching his bleeding abdomen, watched in horror at the old man before him.
âIâm telling you, Iâm just an old man. If you try any tricks, we can all die together. Iâve lived long enough anyway!â Jia Zhendong pointed the gun at the crowd, his wrinkled face seething with malice.
Hmph, now he was just waiting for Ye Fan to arrive.
âYou there, open your phone and live stream everything thatâs happening here!â Jia Zhendong pointed his gun at Huang Yingâs head, threatening her.
âIâ¦â Huang Ying, hesitant, was forced to comply as the man spoke again.
âHurry up, or Iâll kill a child right in front of you!â Jia Zhendongâs eyes were ruthless.
âDonât hurt the children, Iâll do it, Iâll do as you say!â Huang Ying immediately took out her phone, her hands trembling as she aimed the camera at everything before her.
She never could have imagined someone barging into the school to commit such an infuriating act.
All these were just little children. How could this man be so heartless?
He was a thorough madman!
âMake sure you get me in the shot too!â
