âSon, your mom is going back to her hometown tomorrow. You must take good care of Susu,â Mother Ye sternly told her son. âDonât let her be wronged or else if I find out, Iâll skin you alive!â
Hmph, this kid needs to be constantly reminded.
Otherwise, he really forgets who he is.
If the daughter-in-law Iâve approved of is wronged, Iâd never let this brat off the hook.
âMom, donât worry. I treasure her too much to let her be wronged,â Ye Fan said as he took Bai Susuâs hand, his handsome face full of ingratiating smiles.
I really need to butter my dear old mom up.
Ai, my mom really likes Bai Susu so much.
Otherwise, she wouldnât always be protecting her like this.
But, this is a good thing.
âAuntie, rest assured, Ye Fan wonât bully me. Take care of yourself when youâre back home,â Bai Susu said with a smile to Mother Ye.
How could Ye Fan possibly bully me? I understand all the good he does for me.
Of course, even if we have our disagreements, itâs no big deal, itâs just part of daily life.
And now, I am slowly accepting Ye Fan. Maybe one day, he will really do all that he promised.
Iâm willing to believe and to wait!
âAi, I know, you silly child, take good care of yourself. With four kids, youâve been working hard, Susu,â Mother Ye said as she touched Bai Susuâs cheek, her eyes filled with affection.
I really like this child a lot!
I hope my son steps up and marries Susu sooner rather than later.
âIâm fine. These past days, Aunt Mei, you, and Ye Fan were the ones bustling about. I didnât do anything,â Bai Susu admitted.
Isnât that so? This past month, it has been Ye Fan whoâs been busy with everything. Of course, Mother Ye and Aunt Mei were there too, but I really didnât do anything.
So, whereâs the hardship in that?
âSilly child, weâre all one family, why make such distinctions? And you, you should quickly accept my son Ye Fanâs proposal. I already like you a lot,â Mother Ye said, hugging Bai Susu tightly, her eyes full of love.
In the past, I too wanted a daughter, but alas, I had Ye Fan!
However, now Bai Susu is almost like a daughter to me. Thatâs not bad at all.
Hehe~
âAuntie,â Bai Susuâs cheeks turned red.
Such words were really making her shy!
After all, those words came from an elder.
But Mother Yeâs embrace was so warm, Bai Susu was beginning to feel the maternal love she had never truly experienced before.
This time, she felt it!
It was all because of Ye Fan that she got to experience this.
At that moment, Bai Susu truly envied Ye Fan for having such a great mom.
That made her a little covetous of Mother Yeâs warmth.
âAlright now, as for your matters, I wonât comment. If you ever feel wronged, just tell me. You have my contact information, donât worry Iâll have your back!â Mother Ye said with a chuckle.
âMhm, thatâs wonderful!â Bai Susu reached out with both arms, embracing Mother Ye.
Why couldnât my mother be Mother Ye herself? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But maybe one day, Mother Ye really will become my mother.
Watching this scene, Ye Fan felt both amused and annoyed.
Iâm her son, her flesh and blood, arenât I? Why does it feel like Iâm the outsider?
It seems like Iâm the one whoâs the stranger!
Look at this, anyone who doesnât know better would think Mother Ye is Bai Susuâs mom, and that Iâm the son-in-law.
Seeing how close these two are, Ye Fan felt deeply content.
He felt a pang of envy at such a heartwarming scene.
Oh, Mother really likes Bai Susu, so he must marry her and bring her home.
Of course, he had truly fallen for that silly girl and was determined to marry no one else but her in this lifetime.
âMom, do I look like the kind of person who would bully Susu? Youâre making me out to be a bad guy,â Ye Fan said with a plaintive look at his mother.
Mother Ye was really at her witâs endâhow could she not trust her own son!
Now that the two of them had each otherâs contact information, wouldnât Bai Susu be able to tattle on him?
This was a dangerous situation.
It seemed he would have to keep a low profile from now on!
âYou are not just like a bad guy; you are a bad guy!â Mother Ye said seriously and with utter conviction.
See? Would a good man go after such a nice girl so aggressively?
But at least, he knew to take responsibility!
That was a small comfort to Mother Ye.
If Ye Fan knew what his mother was thinking, he would be so angry he might spit blood.
After all, he was helpless in the matter; he had drunk too much and then saw Bai Susu being harassed, so he stepped in to help. What happened after, he had no memory ofâhe had blacked out!
However, he was also grateful because he had found such a wonderful wife.
Bai Susu, who was nearby, burst into a radiant laugh.
Ye Fan watched her and felt a bit downhearted.
Was it easy for him?
âFine, if Iâm not a good person, then Iâm not a good person,â Ye Fan said with a helpless shrug.
In front of his own mother, nothing he said would be right.
So he might as well say nothing at all.
Could he manage to keep his mouth shut?
âLook, youâre admitting it!â Mother Ye said, frustrated with her son.
âPfft~ â Bai Susu couldnât help but burst out laughing in an instant.
âMom, it seems that Iâm wrong whether I talk or not in front of you. Well then, you two chat; Iâm going to play with my baby!â This time, Ye Fan was utterly speechless.
Whose mother was she anyway?
Forget it, he didnât dare to offend either of these two womenâone gave birth to him, and the other would bear his children. Heâd better not cross either of them.
His status had truly fallen into the dust.
Ye Fan didnât bother to engage further and went off to see the children.
The four little ones were all staring at the ceiling, kicking with their arms and legs in unison, their tiny mouths drooling incessantly; thankfully, they had their bibs on.
The little guys were exceptionally well-behaved, not crying or fussing at all.
Ye Fan wondered if it was the bed or the formula that made them so easy to care for?
The children were extremely easy to look after.
âAre we running low on formula?â Ye Fan suddenly asked.
A couple of days ago, while preparing formula for the children, heâd noticed it was almost gone.
âYeah, weâre almost out. Iâll have to go buy some tomorrow,â Bai Susu nodded and said.
âAlright, Iâll go buy some formula tomorrow after I drop off Mom,â Ye Fan said, looking at his four little treasures with eyes full of tenderness.
The System hadnât rewarded any formula this time, so, there was no choice but to go and buy it himself.
He couldnât let his little ones go hungry, could he?
âTomorrow, Daddyâs going to buy you formula. I canât let my little treasures go hungry, can I? Hmm, right? Right, my dear daughters? Grow up quickly; Daddy will always protect you, and of course, your mommy too!â
