Ye Jinghuai had been on a plane for over ten hours. The moment he arrived at the hotel, the first thing he did wasn't to adjust to the time difference, but to call Nuannuan.
Calculating the time, it wasn't too late in China, so he quickly made a call back.
"Young Master Ye..." Wu Ma answered the phone, feeling a little uneasy.
"Wu Ma, I tried to video call Nuannuan, but she didn't pick up. Can you go and see if Nuannuan doesn't know how to use it, or if Nuannuan isn't in her room?" Ye Jinghuai had specifically taught Nuannuan how to use the tablet for video calls before he left.
"This..."
Wu Ma's tone was a little unnatural. If the Young Master knew that Miss Nuannuan had been taken away by the other young masters, he would probably explode!
"Wu Ma? Did something happen to Nuannuan?" Ye Jinghuai immediately became anxious.
"No, no, Young Master Ye, Miss Nuannuan is fine. It's just that the other three young masters came to the house today and took Miss Nuannuan away. Why don't you call the Eldest Young Master?" wap.kanshuwu.net
"What?" His voice instantly rose.
One could hear how unsettled Ye Jinghuai was.
Meanwhile, Nuannuan was having so much fun at Ye Jingchen's house that she had completely forgotten about her father who was far away.
"You... you all kneel down!"
At this moment, Nuannuan stood on the sofa with a small, stern face, draped in a bedsheet. A pen was stuck in her bun, and she pointed her little finger at the two twins kneeling on cushions in front of her.
"Princess, we've been kneeling all along!" Ye Sizhe pretended to be nervous and reminded her.
"Hmph~ Don't speak! How dare you... play with this princess!"
"Princess, it's 'deceive'..." Ye Sizhe whispered a correction.
"Hmph~ If I say 'play with,' then it's 'play with'!" Nuannuan said proudly, crossing her hands on her hips defiantly.
"Exactly, whatever the Princess says, goes. Princess, your servant suggests dragging the talkative little Zhezi away and spanking him," Ye Siqi immediately smacked his brother and followed along obsequiously.
Ye Sizhe stared at his brother, dumbfounded. "You traitorous little sneak!"
"Princess, your servant thinks little QiZi isn't a good person either. I request to be punished together." Ye Sizhe looked at his brother smugly.
Selling me out? I'll drag you down with me.
"Mhm~" Nuannuan responded softly.
"Guards~ Just one spank on the bottom is enough~" Nuannuan waved her little hand.
"Princess, isn't one a little too little?" Ye Jingchen, holding a feather duster in a proper manner, asked from the side.
"Mhm~" Nuannuan nodded in thought. "Then you decide!"
"Yes." Ye Jingchen swayed the feather duster in his hand.
[Twins' shocked faces.jpg] Dad, you're not actually going to hit us, are you?
"Qiuqiu~"
"Roar~" (Yes!) At this moment, Qiuqiu was also wrapped in a small piece of torn curtain.
"Keep an eye on that person, this princess will... will..." Nuannuan suddenly forgot her lines.
"Will be punished." Ye Jingxing, squatting to the side pretending to be a prisoner, reminded her.
"Right, will be punished!"
"Roar~" (As you command.)
"Third Uncle~ Help this princess home!" Nuannuan affectatiously extended a chubby little hand.
Ye Jingming, behind her, quickly bent down and took Nuannuan's little hand, walking slowly around the sofa.
Just then, Lin Anran walked over with a smile.
"Is Princess hungry? Would you like some fruit? Or some milk."
Looking at Nuannuan's adorable little appearance, Lin Anran felt her maternal instincts surge, and she had already forgotten who her own son was.
(Twins: Mom, Dad is hitting me! [Crying])
"Mhm! I am a little bit hungry." Nuannuan nodded, but still maintained a stern face, trying her best to preserve her persona.
"Then shall this minister carry the Princess to dine?" Ye Jingming quickly changed his approach, trying to pick up Nuannuan.
"No~" Nuannuan raised her hand to refuse.
"This princess will just drink milk right here." As she said this, she even adjusted the bedsheet on herself seriously.
Just then, Ye Jingchen's phone rang.
Seeing it was a video call from Ye Jinghuai, Ye Jingchen knew what was going on and answered without hesitation.
Ye Jinghuai, who had intended to start scolding the moment he connected, opened his mouth and then closed it again.
Looking at the room full of bizarrely dressed people, he suddenly fell silent. Perhaps he had opened the call in the wrong way.
Nuannuan's outfit was one thing, but the others were also draped in pieces of cloth. Ye Jingchen even had a mustache drawn on his face at Nuannuan's request.
Ye Jingming was the most normal, only wearing a draped cloth. The most unrestrained was Ye Jingxing, who had cut holes in a sack and put it on, with what looked like a pot on his head as a hat.
"..." The other end of the phone went silent.
"Daddy~" Nuannuan leaned closer to the phone screen. Seeing it was her father, she happily pounced forward.
"Nuannuan, Daddy called you as soon as he landed. Do you miss Daddy?" Ye Jinghuai acted as if he were selectively blind, completely ignoring Nuannuan's current attire.
"Sorry Daddy~ Nuannuan forgot Daddy~" Nuannuan only then remembered that she had promised her father to video call that evening.
"..." There was no need to be so honest.
"Jinghuai, Nuannuan has been unhappy since you left. We were worried that she might get sick from being down, so we decided to take her out and look after her for a few days for you."
Ye Jingchen explained to Ye Jinghuai with a smile, not feeling at all that this was inappropriate.
"Yes! Second Brother, you don't know. Today when we went to your house, we saw Nuannuan looking listless and felt so heartbroken. It was so hard for us to make Nuannuan happy again," Ye Jingxing said, propping up the pot on his head.
"And look at our sacrifices! Is this considered 'caiyi yuqin'? No, it should be 'caiyi yu Nuannuan'."
"Heh, your idiom knowledge is quite good," Ye Jinghuai let out a cold laugh.
"Second Brother, don't worry, we will take good care of Nuannuan before you return," Ye Jingming assured him.
"Mhm~" Nuannuan, not knowing the situation, also nodded.
"Then thank you all very much!!" Ye Jinghuai said through the video call, gritting his teeth.
"Daddy~ Nuannuan misses Daddy! Nuannuan will obediently wait for Daddy to come back, mwah~" After speaking, Nuannuan pouted and leaned towards the screen, kissing Ye Jinghuai on the other end.
"Okay, Daddy will come back early."
Ye Jinghuai no longer paid attention to the strangely dressed creatures beside them; they were simply an eyesore.
After hanging up, Ye Jinghuai decided not to rest for a day. He would finish his business quickly and could return earlier. Otherwise, he was afraid Nuannuan would truly forget him.
