âHaha, you just donât want to call him brother-in-law, do you? I saw it coming, but thereâs no helping it now. We might as well obediently call him brother-in-law!â Bai Susu looked at Ye Fan and started laughing.
Hahaha
Who would have thought that Ye Fan would finally meet his match.
Itâs actually the first time Iâve seen it happen.
And I must say, itâs quite interesting.
âSusu, what are you so happy about? You have to call him brother-in-law too. When I call him brother-in-law, it will be because Iâm following your lead.â Ye Fan was somewhat resigned,
unsure why Bai Susu was so cheerful.
When the time comes, no one will be able to escape calling Zhao Xiaotian brother-in-law.
Both of them will have to do it.
âNo worries. I think I can easily say it. Itâs you who will struggle, with the whole âbrothers and brother-in-lawâ thing. Letâs see how you manage!â Bai Susuâs smile was radiant as she looked at Ye Fan.
âAlright, look at you. Anyone who didnât know better would think that youâre the one being called brother-in-law!â Ye Fan rolled his eyes.
âYe Fan, Iâm a girl!â Bai Susu glared at him.
What on earth was he saying?
âI know, I was just kidding!â Ye Fan said.
âUncle Xiaotian is going to be cousin-in-law?â The eldest, Ye Bing, looked at her parents who were bantering joyfully and asked curiously.
âWeâre going to be calling him brother-in-law, and you guys will be calling him uncle-in-law. Heâs going to marry your Aunt Bai Ruoxue!â Ye Fan tenderly touched the eldest childâs head as he explained.
âIs that so, hehe, thatâs so nice!â Ye Bing said with a smile.
She was going to have another great-uncle.
She really liked her aunt. Every time her aunt came, she brought them delicious treats. And Uncle Xiaotian tooâalways bringing them loads and loads of snacks, oh wait, now heâs uncle-in-law.
So yes, they really liked both of them.
âBut what is marriage?â The second child asked Ye Fan at that moment.
She didnât understand what it meant.
It sounded like something good.
âMarriage means living together, striving together, supporting each other, and loving one another!â Ye Fan explained to the second child, Ye Qing.
The little one is still young. Itâs normal not to understand.
âSo, that means Mom and Dad are married too!â Ye Qing looked at Bai Susu and Ye Fan and asked.
âOf course, otherwise, how would we have you guys? And yes, your dad and I are truly in love!â Bai Susu said with a laugh as she looked at her childâs innocent face.
Marrying Ye Fan was the best decision of her life.
That decision truly was the correct one for her entire life.
âYes, Dad loves Mom very much, and Mom loves Dad too,â said Ye Fan with a smile.
âThen that means Mom and Dad are truly in love, and weâre accidents!â Little Fourth suddenly chimed in.
The moment the words were out, everyone looked at her.
Even Father Ye and Mother Ye looked at Little Fourth Ye Jie.
Good heavens!
It wouldâve been better if she hadnât spoken!
With that one comment, things turned a bit awkward.
âNo, you guys are the matchmakers for your mom and me!â Ye Fan looked at the little ones with a smile.
Could it be any different?
If it werenât for them, it would have been very difficult for him and Bai Susu to be together.
So, the children were indeed precious to him.
Ye Fan turned to look at Bai Susu, smiling gently, his eyes sparkling like stars and seas.
âYes, we owe it all to you. Otherwise, your mom and I would have really missed each other. Sigh!â Bai Susu said.
âLuckily, we didnât miss out. Weâre together now!â Bai Susu added, looking at Ye Fan with sweetness in her eyes.
Yes!
It seemed that everything was predestined.
âHehe, that means, Mom and Dad should thank us, we really made it happen!â Third child, Ye Yu, said with her hand covering her mouth, clearly delighted.
âYes, yes!â Ye Qing agreed.
âAlright, you guys go upstairs to sleep, itâs getting late. Have a good time for the next couple of days because school starts soon.â Ye Fan addressed the four little ones.
âDad, Iâm not sleepy yet, I want to play a little longer! Little Fourth immediately complained.
Isnât it too early?
They were being told to go to sleep now, but what if they couldnât fall asleep?
âKids shouldnât stay up late. Go to sleep now, or you wonât grow tall. Hurry and go with your grandparents to bed!â Ye Fan looked sternly at the four little ones.
These little ones needed to be urged to go to bed, or they just wouldnât sleep.
If they keep playing like this, they wouldnât want to sleep even by one or two in the morning.
Itâs already nine oâclock.
âOkay, I want to hear Daddy tell us a story!â Little Fourth looked at Ye Fan and said.
Her little face was very determined, as if she was saying, if you donât tell me a story, Iâm not going to sleep.
âFine, you guys go wait in the room, I need to wash your motherâs feet!â Ye Fan said.
He found that the children were all too shy to make requests of him, except for Little Fourth.
This Little Fourth was really bold.
Helpless.
âGreat, Daddy is going to tell us a story, Iâm so happy!â Ye Bing, the eldest, immediately cheered, clearly overjoyed.
âYeah, hehe!â
âSo happy~!â
âHmph, itâs only because I said something. Otherwise, you wouldnât get to hear Daddy tell a story. You should know, Daddy has only ever told stories to Mommy. Weâre not worthy. If it werenât for my strong insistence, you wouldnât be hearing any story!â Little Fourth Ye Jie said proudly.
The others looked at Little Fourthâs manner and immediately laughed.
What a character!
All children, why is it just you who can talk like this?
Bai Susu could only shake her head helplessly.
This child, sheâs something else.
Ye Fan was also quite astonished; Little Fourth really would say anything.
âFourth sister is the best!â
âExactly, Fourth sister is the most amazing!â
âLetâs go, letâs go upstairs and wait for Daddy to tell the story.â
âIâm going too, hehe!â
The children immediately headed upstairs.
(âoâ)â¦
Uh (âoâ)â¦
Everyone was quite astonished.
That was certainly straightforward.
It seems that this will have to be the way forward.
You should know, in the past it took half a day of persuasion to get these little ones to head upstairs to sleep.
This time, they were the most obedient they have ever been.
Alright, this will be the way to deal with them in the future.
âLook how important you are in the eyes of the children, how big a place you have in their hearts!â Bai Susu said.
This made her somewhat envious as a mother.
What to do about it!
âI didnât do it on purpose!â Ye Fan said with a smile.
He hadnât expected such a conclusion either.
Who knew the kids would love bedtime stories.
Forget it, forget it, they are my children, after all. If they like to listen, then Iâll tell them the stories.
âJust be smug about it, why donât you. Enjoy that satisfaction in your heart,â Bai Susu said with an eye roll.
âAlright, you two take your time being lovey-dovey. We are going to go upstairs to sleep now. From now on, getting the kids to bed is your job. See how much the kids like you? As soon as they heard you were going to tell a story, they were so eager to go upstairs. In the past, it took forever to coax them!â Mother Ye said.
âReally, youâll be the one doing it in the future!â Father Ye gave Ye Fan a thumbs-up.
âYou really have a way!â Mother Ye commented and went upstairs.
Father Ye followed her.
Ye Fan was left speechless.
Coaxing the kids to sleep once or twice was fine, but doing it often, how could that work?
He did not have that many stories to tell the children.
âForget it, dear, wait for me, Iâm going to go make some foot-soaking water for you!â Ye Fan said.
Since Bai Susu was pregnant, Ye Fan always wanted her to rest as much as possible, although of course, exercise was necessary in moderation.
Itâs just that he wanted to do more of these little things.
He was a man who really cherished his wife!
âSure, go ahead!â Bai Susu said with a smile as she looked at Ye Fanâs conflicted appearance.
Soon, Ye Fan prepared a basin of warm water for Bai Susu to soak her feet.
After washing her feet, Ye Fan followed Bai Susu into the bedroom, arranged the blanket for her, gave a few words of caution, and then left the room.
Ye Fan then went to the childrenâs bedroom door to tell them a story.
