Chapter 36 - 36 Precious Daughters, Grow Up Quickly!_l
“Son, your mom is going back to her hometown tomorrow. You must take good care of Susu,” Mother Ye sternly told her son. “Don’t let her be wronged or else if I find out, I’ll skin you alive!”
Hmph, this kid needs to be constantly reminded.
Otherwise, he really forgets who he is.
If the daughter-in-law I’ve approved of is wronged, I’d never let this brat off the hook.
“Mom, don’t worry. I treasure her too much to let her be wronged,” Ye Fan said as he took Bai Susu’s 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 wouldn’t always be protecting her like this.
But, this is a good thing.
“Auntie, rest assured, Ye Fan won’t bully me. Take care of yourself when you’re back home,” 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, it’s no big deal, it’s just part of daily life.
And now, I am slowly accepting Ye Fan. Maybe one day, he will really do all that he promised.
I’m willing to believe and to wait!
“Ai, I know, you silly child, take good care of yourself. With four kids, you’ve been working hard, Susu,” Mother Ye said as she touched Bai Susu’s 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.
“I’m fine. These past days, Aunt Mei, you, and Ye Fan were the ones bustling about. I didn’t do anything,” Bai Susu admitted.
Isn’t that so? This past month, it has been Ye Fan who’s been busy with everything. Of course, Mother Ye and Aunt Mei were there too, but I really didn’t do anything.
So, where’s the hardship in that?
“Silly child, we’re all one family, why make such distinctions? And you, you should quickly accept my son Ye Fan’s proposal. I already like you a lot,” 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. That’s not bad at all.
Hehe~
“Auntie,” Bai Susu’s cheeks turned red.
Such words were really making her shy!
After all, those words came from an elder.
But Mother Ye’s 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 Ye’s warmth.
“Alright now, as for your matters, I won’t comment. If you ever feel wronged, just tell me. You have my contact information, don’t worry I’ll have your back!” Mother Ye said with a chuckle.
“Mhm, that’s wonderful!” Bai Susu reached out with both arms, embracing Mother Ye.
Why couldn’t my mother be Mother Ye herself?
But maybe one day, Mother Ye really will become my mother.
Watching this scene, Ye Fan felt both amused and annoyed.
I’m her son, her flesh and blood, aren’t I? Why does it feel like I’m the outsider?
It seems like I’m the one who’s the stranger!
Look at this, anyone who doesn’t know better would think Mother Ye is Bai Susu’s mom, and that I’m 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.
“Mom, do I look like the kind of person who would bully Susu? You’re making me out to be a bad guy,” Ye Fan said with a plaintive look at his mother.
Mother Ye was really at her wit’s end—how could she not trust her own son!
Now that the two of them had each other’s contact information, wouldn’t 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!
“You are not just like a bad guy; you are a bad guy!” 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 of—he 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?
“Fine, if I’m not a good person, then I’m not a good person,” 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?
“Look, you’re admitting it!” Mother Ye said, frustrated with her son.
“Pfft~ ” Bai Susu couldn’t help but burst out laughing in an instant.
“Mom, it seems that I’m wrong whether I talk or not in front of you. Well then, you two chat; I’m going to play with my baby!” This time, Ye Fan was utterly speechless.
Whose mother was she anyway?
Forget it, he didn’t dare to offend either of these two women—one gave birth to him, and the other would bear his children. He’d better not cross either of them.
His status had truly fallen into the dust.
Ye Fan didn’t 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.
“Are we running low on formula?” Ye Fan suddenly asked.
A couple of days ago, while preparing formula for the children, he’d noticed it was almost gone.
“Yeah, we’re almost out. I’ll have to go buy some tomorrow,” Bai Susu nodded and said.
“Alright, I’ll go buy some formula tomorrow after I drop off Mom,” Ye Fan said, looking at his four little treasures with eyes full of tenderness.
The System hadn’t rewarded any formula this time, so, there was no choice but to go and buy it himself.
He couldn’t let his little ones go hungry, could he?
“Tomorrow, Daddy’s going to buy you formula. I can’t 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!”
