Chapter 663 - My Daddy!
Chapter 663: My Daddy!
It was almost dawn.
Ye Chen’s parents had gone to bed. The two little girls, Mengmeng and Qianqian, were playing games outside. From time to time, they would hear the game notifications of their teammates being killed three or five times.
In the room, Ye Chen looked at Su Yuhan who was sitting on the bed in shock. He said in disbelief, “Y-You’re saying that my mother is pregnant?”
He shook his head, “That’s impossible!”
“Why is that impossible?!”
Su Yuhan rolled her eyes at him, “What do you know as a man? I felt nauseous and dizzy when I was pregnant with Mengmeng. I always wanted to sleep and eat sour things.”
Ye Chen believed her a little after hearing what she said. He said between laughter and tears, “I really can’t accept it.”
“Why not?”
However, Su Yuhan rebuked, “Although it’s not easy for a woman to get pregnant when she’s over 50 years old, it doesn’t mean that it’s impossible. Moreover, your parents thought that you were dead when you disappeared for five years back then. They might have wanted to have another child.”
She looked at Ye Chen with a spurious smile as she spoke to this point, “Judging by your mother’s reaction, it shouldn’t be long now. Congratulations, Xiaochen. You’re going to have a younger brother or sister soon. Mengmeng will have a little uncle or aunty.”
Ye Chen was speechless.
No one could accept that.
Seeing that he did not say anything, Su Yuhan sighed softly, “It seems like mom and dad don’t know either. Mom is already old. What I’m worried about now is that if she’s going to bear a child, will she…”
“No!”
Ye Chen spoke and dismissed her worries, “Although she’s old, she has eaten the medicinal pills I refined before. Her physique is extraordinary. Moreover, doesn’t she have me?”
“That’s great, then!”
Su Yuhan nodded, “Let’s pretend that we don’t know about this. We don’t want to embarrass your parents. We’ll just wait for them to bring it up and approve of it.”
She did not feel too good.
Her in-laws had been urging her to have a second child with Ye Chen. Nothing was happening in her womb at all. Instead, her mother-in-law was pregnant. She could not help but doubt herself again.
Ye Chen nodded lightly, “I know what to do!”
It was not that he could not accept the fact, but it depended on what his parents thought. With the family’s current condition, they could afford to have ten children even, let alone one.
While they were talking, Su Yuhan stood up and walked outside to talk to the two little girls who were playing games, “Mengmeng, Qianqian, lower your voice when you guys play. Grandpa and grandma hadn’t slept all night. Don’t wake them.”
The two little girls then turned off the game sound.
Su Yuhan returned to her room and changed into her pajamas. She seemed to have recalled something after she sat on the bed. She looked up and said, “Oh right, Xiaochen, Mengmeng’s birthday is coming the day after tomorrow. What do you have in mind for the celebration?”
Ye Chen then remembered, “What do you think?”
If he remembered correctly, his daughter’s birthday was on the 8th of October on the Chinese calendar. It was November 4th, a scorpio baby. She will be five years old by then.
“I’ll order a birthday cake for her later!”
Su Yuhan frowned. Clearly, she had not plan anything about it, “As for the details, I’ll ask her what she wants. It’s going to be Lidong soon. I’ll buy her new clothes then.”
At this point, she added, “Also, I’ll buy some for Qianqian. I think this girl has been wearing Mengmeng’s clothes all this while. They don’t really fit her.”
…
The sky was turning bright soon. Ye Chen had been chatting with Su Yuhan in the room the whole time. Su Yuhan only remembered that their daughter had to go to school at seven in the morning. She had to make her breakfast.
Ye Chen walked out of the room as well. He thought that the two little girls were still playing games. To his surprise, Mengmeng was doing her homework on the table in an unusually serious manner.
“Wow, did the sun rise from the west today?”
Ye Chen walked over while smiling, “My daughter is doing her homework? Come, let me see what you’ve written.”
Who would have expected that the little girl would react like a frightened, little bunny. She hurriedly buried the exercise book in her embrace and said guiltily, “Daddy, you’re not allowed to look.”
“You’re not letting daddy look?”
Ye Chen’s interest was piqued as he said with a forced smile, “Could it be that you have some secret? Don’t tell me that a kid in your class wrote you a love letter?”
“Of course not!”
Mengmeng pouted and hid the exercise book behind her back.
However, her hands felt empty the next second. The exercise book appeared in Ye Chen’s hand. It seemed to be a diary.
Flipping to the first page, the title was ‘My Daddy!’.
Ye Chen was overjoyed. He thought to himself that his daughter had written about him. Subconsciously, he started reading every word.
“My daddy got into a car accident last year, and both of his legs were broken. Although he could only sit in a wheelchair, he was still as strong as ever. My daddy has always taught me that people shouldn’t be beaten by hardships…”
Ye Chen’s smile gradually froze when he read that. He looked at his healthy legs subconsciously.
Subsequently, he grabbed Mengmeng, who was about to run away, and said with an expression not sure if he was smiling, “Ye Mengmeng, you sure are mischievous. Your writing isn’t too shabby. When did your father lose both his legs and have to be in the wheelchair? When did I teach you that a person shouldn’t be beaten by hardships? To think that you knew the phrase ‘disabled but the will is strong’.”
“Daddy, I-I wrote it randomly.”
The little girl blushed and stammered, “Fatty Li’s writing is even more exaggerated than mine. He said that his daddy is 38 years old and still can’t find a wife. He’s an old bachelor…”
The corner of Ye Chen’s lips twitched slightly as he continued flipping to the second page, “Daddy’s legs were broken, and mommy cried until she was blind.”
He then looked at Su Yuhan who was busy working in the kitchen for her heartless daughter. She had no idea that she had become blind in Mengmeng’s diary.
“On a winter morning, my grandparents and I were playing Minesweeper on the street. We were even in a battle…”
“…”
The little girl had already lowered his head like a shy quail, not daring to look at Ye Chen at all.
Ye Chen did not say anything. Instead, he extended his hand and pointed at the eraser on the table. The little girl understood immediately after seeing it. She picked up the eraser and wiped the diary clean.
She looked at Ye Chen pitifully after saying that.
“Don’t do this again!”
Ye Chen glared at her with a straight face. He secretly glanced at the kitchen at the end of his speech and softened his tone.
“Actually, you can write better about daddy. For instance, my daddy is the head of the family, and mommy listens to daddy. If daddy asks mommy to go east, she will never go toward any other directions…”
Su Yuhan walked out of the kitchen with a few bowls of fried egg noodles, “Xiaochen, remember to wash the clothes I changed after I went to the office. Don’t put my undergarments in the washing machine. You have to hand wash them. Mop the floor, too. Oh, yeah. Go to the market to buy some groceries as well…”
Ye Chen chuckled immediately, “Sure, honey!”
