The childrenâs imitative abilities should really not be underestimated.
Look, theyâve learned already, just in a few days.
These kids, if you donât teach them, it just wonât work.
Little Fourth is the most mischievous, and heâs even led Little Third astray.
âLittle Fourth, take a look at yourself; youâve influenced Little Third. This is really something, I have truly underestimated you,â Ye Fan said to Little Fourth in his arms.
âGiggle giggle,â Little Fourth laughed happily, seemingly quite proud of
himself.
Helpless, Ye Fan picked up Little Third as well. His body had been modified by the System and was already unlike that of an ordinary person, so lifting Little Third was a piece of cake for him.
Holding one child in each arm, he made his way to the sofa.
Only Little Second was left alone on the floor.
Little Second looked around, realizing she was alone playing with her toys on the floor while her sisters had been picked up by mom and dad. She twisted her little face and stared blankly for a few seconds before turning back to her toys.
She didnât pay attention to anyone and just played by herself.
She was quite focused indeed.
Ye Fan chuckled at this.
This Little Second, quite interesting.
Who knew one could be so happy playing alone.
Bai Susu looked at Little Second with adoring eyes; this little one was really carefree!
Before, when she watched TV, those babies, especially the ones who played well or were twins, would start crying the moment one was ignored and the baby realized they were alone.
The crying was truly heartbreaking, just pitiful.
This Little Second of their own was really exceptional.
She didnât compete for affection with her sisters either.
The two adults played with the kids for a while and then started having dinner.
After dinner, they fed the babies milk.
That night, Bai Susu received a call from her cousin, Bai Ruoxue.
The moment she received the call, Bai Susu was somewhat surprised.
After exchanging a few words, she hung up.
âWhatâs wrong?â Ye Fan noted Bai Susuâs complexion looked a bit off, and he
started to worry, so he asked.
Whose call was that?
Her expression changed just from a phone call.
It must have been someone important, right?
âI have a cousin whom Iâm very close to. She said she has something to tell me and will come to see me in a couple of days,â Bai Susu said with a somewhat solemn expression.
No one in the family knows about her own matters.
Her cousin coming to meet her and saying she has something to tell, made her somewhat panicked.
Could it be that her own matters had been found out by the family?
But if they knew, it wouldnât be Cousin Ruoxue coming to see her!
If the family really knew, it would probably be her own parents coming to directly take her away.
Whatever it was that the cousin was coming for, she didnât clarify over the phone and insisted on speaking face-to-face.
Bai Susu was also a bit unclear on the reason.
-Your cousin is coming but didnât say why? Or is it possible sheâs learned about our situation and is coming to probe?â Ye Fan asked.
He knew Bai Susu was most worried about her family.
Now that her cousin was coming, what would be the best course of action?
Their secret was bound to be discovered eventually.
One canât hide paper in fire; perhaps, thatâs the reason for her visit.
It seems this particular cousin and Bai Susu must be really close, or it wouldnât have made her look this concerned.
âNo, she said itâs urgent and couldnât be explained on the phone, it has to be faceâ-to-face. I donât know if sheâs aware of whatâs going on between us.â
-But even if she doesnât know, we canât hide it anymore,â Bai Susu slowly said. Isnât that the case? Now that this has come to pass, itâs impossible to keep it hidden.
My cousin is no pushover, very shrewd indeed.
Thatâs exactly why Bai Susu is so worried.
e=(âo*))) Sigh
For a moment, she didnât know what to do.
âWell, how about we say youâre in another place, not here?â Ye Fan suggested. âNo way. Even if Iâm not here, she can wait for me. Sheâs quite stubborn and very smart,â Bai Susu said, her brows furrowed with concern.
âForget it, letâs just see why sheâs come. Iâm close to her, and even if she finds out, having her keep our secret shouldnât be a big problem,â Bai Susu spoke up again.
There was no other choice but to take it one step at a time.
This couldnât go on forever.
The only option was to face it head-on.
âAlright, thatâs the only option then,â Ye Fan nodded in agreement.
Soon, two days later.
Bai Ruoxue arrived.
Bai Susu went to the airport to pick up Bai Ruoxue and eventually settled her in
a hotel.
After all, her cousin didnât know about her and Ye Fan yet.
It definitely wasnât feasible to have her stay at home.
For now, this was the only solution.
The two agreed to meet at a restaurant where they sat at a hot pot restaurant, enjoying the meal while talking. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSister, why did you suddenly decide to come see me? Didnât you mention on the phone that you had some important news to share with me?â Bai Susu asked Bai Ruoxue, who was sitting across from her.
Indeed, she wouldnât say it over the phone but insisted on telling her in person.
It seemed rather serious.
Otherwise, Bai Ruoxue wouldnât have made the trip herself.
âSusu, the news I have is not good. Are you sure you want to hear it?â Bai Ruoxueâs beautiful face showed a trace of worry, her gaze on Bai Susu filled with reluctance.
How to break such news?
If her cousin found out, sheâd be heartbroken, frantic.
Sigh, but she couldnât just keep it to herselfâ¦
She had to tell Bai Susu.
-Whatâs the matter? You look terrible. Just tell me, no matter how bad the news, I want to know,â Bai Susu said earnestly, setting her chopsticks down and calmly waiting for Bai Ruoxue to speak.
âActually, this matter⦠Well, letâs finish eating first. Iâll tell you afterward. Otherwise, Iâm afraid you wonât be able to take it,â Bai Ruoxue sighed.
Yes, after hearing the news, Bai Susu surely wonât have an appetite.
Sheâd be deeply upset.
Bai Ruoxue knew her sisterâs temperament well.
âSister, talking like this halfway through makes me lose my appetite even more. Just tell me,â Bai Susu implored Bai Ruoxue.
This really did feel like she was being tortured with anxiety.
âAlright, Iâll tell you, but you have to control your emotions,â Bai Ruoxue cautioned.
âJust tell me, Iâm dying of anxiety,â Bai Susu urged.
âGrandfather has had an accident!â Bai Ruoxue hesitantly revealed, looking at
Bai Susu.
Yes, an accident!
âWhat do you mean, an accident? What kind of accident could Grandfather have?!â Bai Susu stood up, looking across at Bai Ruoxue, her face filled with both shock and horror.
Grandfather had an accident!
