People like him, he had seen too many.
No, more accurately, ever since he became wealthy and influential, he really had seen too many.
He used to attend many cocktail parties and banquets, or else, he would bring Bai Susu along, but later on, he stopped going. As soon as such an event came up, he would decline it.
Or, he would have someone else go in his place.
Ye Fan was tired of socializing with these people.
The folks in business were hardly ever genuinely kind-hearted; the business world is a battlefield.
Ye Fan had long grown weary of these tricks,
but isnât that just what life is like?
So yeah, he always watched as others fought each other tooth and nail, being nothing more than a spectator, the so-called onlooker munching on melon seeds.
âMr. Ye Fan, long time no see!â Huang Ying said with a slight smile as she looked at Ye Fan.
The moment she saw Ye Fan, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little nervous.
Every time she saw Ye Fan, she felt joyful and a bit nervous.
âMm-hm, howâs Teacher Huang Ying been feeling recently?â Ye Fan asked casually with a smile.
âQuite, quite good, thank you for your concern!â Huang Ying hesitated for a moment, then replied with a smile.
To her surprise, Ye Fanâs first question upon seeing her was about her health; she felt pleasantly surprised and a little happy about it.
She didnât quite understand herself.
Why she felt this way.
Yet, deep down, she always felt that a word from Ye Fan seemed to make her very happy.
It felt really good to be cared for by him.
âItâs nothing, just a small token. Besides, youâre the teacher of the children, and you work so hard in looking after them. Right, I have a nearly hundred-year-old ginseng root. Iâll bring it to you later; take it home and use it to improve your health!â Ye Fan said to Huang Ying.
Ye Bing and the four little ones had indeed made Huang Ying put in a lot of effort, so he was very grateful.
Also, he had witnessed how Huang Ying, in such perilous situations, had tried her best to protect the children, going as far as to negotiate with the criminals and offer herself as a hostage. This girl, Ye Fan truly admired and appreciated her.
Of course, his admiration for this teacherâs bravery was purely that!
Such a teacher deserved the respect of many.
âNo need, thatâs very valuable, I donât need it. You should give it to your elders!â Huang Ying said with surprise upon hearing this.
She hadnât expected Mr. Ye Fan to give her a nearly hundred-year-old ginseng root.
That was worth several hundred thousand.
Many people sought after it but couldnât get it.
You know, many people have said that if someone is on their deathbed, they could chew on a piece of nearly hundred-year-old ginseng and it would keep them alive a while longer.
Itâs not easy to come by such a thing.
She really couldnât fathom that Mr. Ye Fan would be so generous, and moreover, so caring towards her.
She felt a warm feeling inside.
âDonât worry, youâve been taking care of the kids, and thatâs been keeping you busy. Donât reject my good intentions. You are a good teacher, and I admire you!â Ye Fan said seriously to Huang Ying.
âThank you, thank you for acknowledging me like that.â Huang Ying nodded and smiled radiantly.
âSo donât be polite with me!â Ye Fan said with a smile.
âTeacher Huang Ying, when my dad gives you the gift, you must accept it. My dad rarely gives people gifts, especially valuable ones. Usually, itâs others giving gifts to my dad, but my dad doesnât just accept any gift!â Ye Bing blinked and quickly chimed in.
âThatâs right, my dad is so awesome, not everyone is worthy.â Ye Qing said proudly, clearly a hardcore fan of his father.
âSo, Teacher Huang Ying, you must accept it!â Ye Yu joined in the encouragement.
âOur dad is usually stingy like a miser, so Teacher Huang, you really shouldnât miss this rare opportunity, or you might regret it. Itâs rare for my dad to splurge like this, you canât pass up this opportunity!!â Ye Jie put in her two cents.
Thisâ¦
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was quite speechless.
Well, Iâll be!
He hadnât expected to be seen this way by his kids.
Today was an eye-opener.
Was there some misunderstanding here?
Ye Fan felt pretty bummed out inside. Had he been misunderstood by his children?
Look at them, talking so convincingly about him.
Could it be that he was indeed a miser?
Even if that were true, he was still their father. It was just too much to talk about oneâs own dad like that.
Over the line!
Had they no shame?
Was it possible that their father had no shame?
A bunch of little scammers!
Scamming their own dad!
Alas, they were still his precious little darlings, impossible to scold or spank.
Such a dilemma!
âLook, the little ones have spoken. If you donât accept it, it would be really awkward!â Ye Fan said with a smile.
He almost wished he could have Zhuge deliver it right then and there.
Otherwise, he felt as if he was just blabbering.
âItâs okay, Mr. Ye, you donât have to be so formal.â Huang Ying said, a bit embarrassed.
These few were really full of surprises.
âItâs fine!â Ye Fan reassured.
âAll right, itâs getting late, you guys should head to class, or else youâll be late!â Huang Ying said, looking at the four little ones beside her.
How she adored these four little ones.
Every time she saw them, she felt the urge to get married and have kids of her own, preferably daughters.
Who would have thought girls could be this cute, this beautiful, this endearing.
