Such things are better experienced first-hand.
That way, the shock, the emotion, the relief, the surprise, and so on, can be more profoundly felt.
âI see it now, no wonder you were smiling so brilliantly just now,â Ye Fan said, his eyes filled with warmth as he looked at her.
That girl must have known all along.
It was she who made him go see on purpose.
âOf course, she is our daughter after all. Iâm so relieved, so proud!â Bai Susu said haughtily, tilting her chin up, her beautiful face beaming with a proud smile.
Indeed, itâs great to have such a bunch of kids.
âTch, you talk as if she isnât my daughter too,â Ye Fan rolled his eyes.

Look at how beautiful Bai Susu felt.
âYou, humph, Iâm just happy, okay? Itâs happened several times now, Xiao Jie always runs into the kitchen whenever sheâs making fish, Iâve noticed it quite a few times. I used to think it was weird, but now it all makes sense!â Bai Susu said.
âWhat a good daughter!â Ye Fan nodded, looking towards the kitchen doorway.
She truly was Ye Fanâs good daughter.
âOf course, who else gave birth to her? Itâs just, it kind of breaks my heart!â Bai Susu spoke again.
Right?
Always rushing to the kitchen to learn those things, it really can be heart-wrenching.
The most critical part is, Ye Jie is only four years old!
A four-year-old child, learning how to make fish head soup, thinking of cooking it for her family, itâs incredibly touching, and at the same time, it really tugs at the heart.
âSheâs yours, you gave birth to her, but sheâs also my child, my very own, so we both deserve credit. Without either one of us, it wouldnât work!â Ye Fan stretched out his hand and pinched Bai Susuâs nose.
That girl really liked to claim credit.
But it was indeed her wifeâs achievement.
As long as it was his wifeâs word, it was always right.
âHmph, however, I think we should just pretend we donât know, so as not to discourage the child,â Bai Susuâs eyes were filled with concern.
The child is young but means well.
So, itâs better to act as if we donât know.
Lest the child stops wanting to learn halfway, gets exposed and feels awkward knowing that the adults are aware of her actions, ending up disappointed and dejected.
âOkay, letâs do as you say,â Ye Fan said.
He felt the same way.
Right now, the best thing to do is to pretend to be unaware.
Let the child keep doing what she enjoys.
âHubby, you really listen well!â Bai Susu rolled her eyes at Ye Fan.
This guyâ¦
âOf course, what the wife says is often right, I will certainly support it!â Ye Fan said.
âEnough with the smugness, come give me the child. Your arms must be getting sore,â Bai Susu said, looking at Ye Fan with concern.
Although children are not heavy, maintaining the same position for too long can still make oneâs arms tired and sore.
âNo, I can hold on for a while longer,â Ye Fan insisted.
âAlright, give her to me, and you take a break,â Bai Susu took Xiao Wu back from Ye Fanâs arms.
Xiao Wuâs little face twisted this way and that, one moment looking at Ye Fan, her dad, and then turning to gaze at Bai Susu, her mom, without showing any signs of fatigue.
At this moment, the other three little ones also came downstairs.
Then, the three sisters gathered around Xiao Wu, teasing and playing, laughing together.
âYiya, yiya,â Xiao Wu also seemed to be saying in delight.
Though it was gibberish, the little siblings enjoyed the play tremendously.
âXiao Wu, grow up quickly, and then, us sisters will take you to eat delicious food, take you to fun places, and hey, Iâve heard that boys like to play with little sisters, weâll take you to find little girls to play with, hehe!â
âExactly, with your sisters helping you, lots of little girls will like to play with you!â
âThatâs right, with us around, no one dares to bully you!â
The three little girls cheerfully chattered to Xiao Wu.

âThatâs not a sister, itâs a girlfriend. Boys all like pretty girlfriends!â At this time, Little Fourth Ye Jie came out of the kitchen and then said.
Do her sisters have to be this silly?
What sister, not sister.
That might not even be a sister, it could be an older sister.
Anyway, thatâs what they say on TV.
Boys all like pretty girlfriends!
âLittle Fourth, why did you go to the kitchen?â Ye Bing asked Ye Jie.
No wonder I didnât see Little Fourth Ye Jie just now.
Turns out she was in the kitchen.
âYeah, we were just looking for you and couldnât find you, didnât expect you to be in the kitchen. What were you doing there?â Ye Qing curiously asked.
âLittle Fourth, what did you mean by âpretty sisterâ just now? I donât get it?â Ye Yu also spoke up.
Although she was curious to know why Little Fourth was in the kitchen, since big sis and the second sister had already asked, she didnât.
So, she didnât ask. She wanted to know, what did Little Fourth mean by âpretty girlfriendâ?
Could it really just mean a friend?
And furthermore, a friend who has to be pretty?
âI just went to take a look, see what weâd be eating this afternoon, didnât do much,â Little Fourth Ye Jie said to everyone, clearly looking at Ye Fan and Bai Susu, worried that her parents would ask her or go back and check.
Although the housekeeper aunt had agreed not to tell about her learning to make fish head soup, but in case her dad and mom asked, it wouldnât be easy to explain.
After all, Ye Jie knew her parents were not easily fooled; they were very smart.
Even the slightest oddity could give her away, especially to her dad Ye Fan, who was very clever.
Little Fourth Ye Jie knew this very well.
At this, she started to feel a bit nervous.
Ye Fan and Bai Susu noticed too, they both understood why Little Fourth was nervous and tried hard to act as normal as they usually did, pretending not to care.
âHmm, hmm, perhaps Xiao Jie went to the kitchen to look because she was a bit hungry!â Ye Fan said with a smile, very casually.
âRight, exactly, I was a bit hungry and went to the kitchen to ask how long until the meal was ready!â Little Fourth said, then let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, dad and mom donât know.
What she didnât know was that, in fact, her parents already knew; they were just pretending to be unaware.
âNo worries, the meal should be ready soon!â Ye Fan said.
âBy the way, Little Fourth, what did you mean just now? Iâm a little confused,â Ye Yu asked again.
âYeah, although I recognize each word and understand the meaning, when you put them all together, it suddenly becomes incomprehensible,â Ye Qing said, quite frustrated.
Ye Bing didnât say anything but looked seriously at Ye Jie.
Bai Susu and Ye Fan glanced at each other and saw helplessness in each otherâs eyes.
And Little Fourth Ye Jie was truly exasperating.
How could she know about such things?
Itâs really not clear whether knowing this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Many of the adultsâ matters were understood by Little Fourth Ye Jie, where could this child have seen or heard or learned about them?
Bai Susu and Ye Fan were extremely curious!
âIt means a girlfriend who is pretty, Boys all like girlfriends, and moreover, they hope their girlfriends are pretty!â Ye Jie said very casually.
Her sisters, such a simple thing, and they donât even know.
Quite a bit slow, arenât they?
âAhâ¦â
âBut, I feel like, what youâre saying is different from what we are thinking!â
âI feel the same, itâs not quite the same meaning!â
âThe feelingâs mutual, thisâ¦â
The three youngsters looked at each other, completely perplexed!
Little Fourth Ye Jie didnât pay them any more mind; she went straight to the sofa and sat down, getting close to Xiao Wuâ¦
