As Rong Yan and Anya talked about childbearing, Ye Wei carried Hailan and went to watch the men play mahjong. Third Young Master Ye kissed his daughter and wanted to carry her. Ye Wei threw her third brother a disdainful look and laughed. “Dear third brother, please do not corrupt our Hailan.”
Ye Hailan smiled quietly.
Ye Wei suddenly realized something. “You all don’t smoke? Chu Li, you used to smoke, no?”
“Yan Yan didn’t allow me to.” Chu Li sighed.
Third Young Master Ye reached out and tapped his shoulder in a sympathizing manner. “Hi, comrade!”
Bai Ye was lost for words.
It took a scheming person to patch another scheming person up, but that’s also good! Long live a healthy lifestyle!
“Since you all neither smoke nor drink, are you real men?”
“Who said that we do not drink?” Third Young Master Ye and Bai Ye replied at once. There was another person who remained silent, and Ye Wei was lost for words. Very well, then. Surely, they didn’t have to reply in unison?
“That said, even if the men in your household do not drink, you know best whether he is a man.” Chu Li gently smiled.
Ye Wei saw Mo Jue’s calm face, and then Little Hailan’s smile. “Let’s go look for Mommy to play,” she immediately said.
Everybody broke into laughter. Just as she was about to carry Hailan back, Cheng Anya suddenly hurried over. “Chu Li, Rong Yan is about to deliver…”
…
The night gradually passed. Rong Yan delivered a healthy boy, and both mother and son were fine. As Cheng Anya had to take care of Hailan, she did not accompany Rong Yan and the others to the hospital. Cheng Anya only visited the newborn with Hailan the next morning.
As Chu Li was a father, he was in a very good mood. He cajoled his child and smiled like an idiot. Rong Yan was in good shape, and she had a smooth delivery. Her child did not give her a hard time, and Chu Li, seeing his adorable child, was thinking of wanting a daughter like Rong Yan.
Little Hailan pointed at the newborn and asked, “Why is he as old as me?”
The question stunned both Cheng Anya and Third Young Master Ye, and their little princess was not happy. She was a year older than him, but why did they look the same? Little Hailan looked at her hands and feet. She was really unhappy.
Third Young Master Ye held his daughter in one hand and had Cheng Anya in the other hand. “Baby, who’s older? Mommy or Daddy?”
“Daddy is older!”
“That is correct. Men develop faster than women, so most men are usually larger than women, size-wise. Look at your uncles. Aren’t they all older than your aunties?” Third Young Master Ye, without batting an eyelid, gave his daughter an impressionable lesson.
Cheng Anya covered her face.
Ye Wei smiled stiflingly. Little Hailan’s off-whack mind roamed, and the little princess’s mood became better again.
Third Young Master Ye was utterly satisfied.
Everybody laughed.
Seven days later, Rong Yan was discharged with her son. Chu Li named his son Chu Nanfeng, nicknamed ‘Kaka’. Kaka had very good looks as he inherited Chu Li’s and Rong Yan’s good looks. He was very quiet and calm and did not cry or create a racket.
Third Young Master Ye took a liking to him and was very interested. “Scheming Chu, want to matchmake our kids?” he asked Chu Li.
Rong Yan and Anya nodded. They were naturally interested, excited even! Third Young Master Ye dope-slapped himself and said, “Ah, my princess is a year older than your prince. What a cradle-snatcher…”
“Hailan grows much more slowly, so how can people tell there’s a cradle-snatcher romance going on? Besides, are you so outdated to the point you’ve never seen cradle-snatcher romances before?” Cheng Anya rolled her eyes, extremely disdainful of Third Young Master Ye.
Third Young Master Ye was lost for words.
Fine, he was indeed a country bumpkin!
Third Young Master Ye hence asked Little Hailan, “Baby, do you like him?”
Kaka looked at Ye Hailan, and Ye Hailan looked back at Kaka and asked, “Is there any good from it?”
“One too many! Somebody can help you carry your bag to school, stand up for you when you are bullied, cook for you in the future, wash your clothes, be your bodyguard… My dear princess doesn’t need to do anything!” Third Young Master Ye smiled as he educated his daughter.
As Rong Yan and Chu Li listened on, they were utterly aghast. Chu Li was starting to regret matchmaking their children. His son ahh…
Little Hailan clapped her tender hands and answered excitedly, “Yay! Now, I like him!”
Rong Yan and Chu Li looked at their own son, speechless. Daddy and Mommy have let you down. Dear son, we’ve sold you out. Little Kaka looked at Little Hailan expressionlessly before he suddenly laughed…
Everybody was lost for words.
And hence they matchmade their children.
Ye Wei, who was aside, yelped. “That’s unfair! Rong Yan, I wanted to give birth to a daughter to be your child’s wife. How could you accept your third brother’s Hailan?”
Rong Yan looked at Ye Wei, and then at Cheng Anya. She spoke with a little hesitation, “I actually find Hailan a little better…”
If Ye Wei’s daughter looked like Ye Wei, Kaka would be unsuitable. If her daughter looked half like Ye Wei and half like Mo Jue, her Kaka would go nuts. Hailan was hence a safer bet.
Cheng Anya looked at Ye Wei’s bulge and said, “Your daughter is already looking for somebody to call in-laws before she knows anyone. Do you want to deliver her first? For all you know, she might be a boy.”
“Wrong. I’ll deliver a daughter.”
“Very well, then. Do you want to deliver first?” Cheng Anya smiled.
Little Hailan blinked her eyes in doubt and said, “He can have two!”
Everybody was lost for words.
Cheng Anya stroked her daughter’s head lovingly and said, “Dear daughter, you’re surely very accommodating. That’s a virtue you should keep up.”
Everybody was lost for words.
Rong Yan was starting to worry for her son. Why was her son such a hot item? She was hoping that Ye Wei and Eleven would both bear children so that Hailan would have more choices.
“When are you all getting married? How about having it with Eleven and Ye Wei so that it would be a party?” Anya smiled and asked. There wasn’t a merry affair in a long time, and three happy events back to back would be really nice.
“Eleven has yet to recover, so it’s not a good time to get married,” Ye Wei said.
Rong Yan raised her eyebrows and said, “Being the bride isn’t tiring since the men have to see to everything.”
Ye Wei looked at her teasingly and said, “So you’re thinking of getting married! Didn’t you want Kaka to become the flower boy?”
“I was thinking of that, but…”
While she did not say anything, they knew what was going on. Ye Wei laughed and said, “Sure! Let me ask Eleven.”
