Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Is Yun Xiaosu Actually Their Biological Daughter? 1
「As for that urgent matter, it all began two and a half hours ago...」
「Two and a half hours earlier...」
Sheng Liangliang, whose call had been disconnected, sat on the slide with her little legs crossed, tilting her head, adorably deep in thought.
"Brother, do you think Dad has found Mom? That beautiful White Dragon must be Mom, right?"
Ye Nianbai’s mood instantly skyrocketed!
"If Dad found Mom, then I could snatch Jingjing back! Oh yes, that beautiful White Dragon must be Mom!"
Yun Xiaosu rubbed her nose vigorously, sitting next to them enviously, and said regretfully, "But I think Aunt Si and Dad are a better match."
If Liangliang and Brother Bai found their mother, what about Aunt Si?
Yun Xiaosu was a bit worried for Aunt Si.
"That seems true..."
Sheng Liangliang, looking cute as she propped up her little chin, asked in her sweet, childlike voice, "I also think Miss Si and Dad are a better match. What should we do?"
"Whose side are you two on? Dad can only belong to Mom, and Jingjing can only belong to me! Don’t you want such a beautiful White Dragon for a mom?"
"Of course, we do! Liangliang also wants to become a Giant Dragon! ROAR! But Liangliang is still small and can’t transform."
"How can you know without trying? I want to become a Giant Dragon too! That would be so cool!"
Ye Nianbai closed his eyes and chanted inwardly.
I love Jingjing the most! Change! Change! Change! Transform!
He tried his very best, even summoning primal forces, but to no avail – he did not turn into a majestic Giant Dragon.
Instead, two shiny, adorably cute little Dragon Horns suddenly popped out on his smooth forehead.
Just like sprouts breaking through the soil.
Ye Nianbai’s shoulders slumped, but he wasn’t ready to give up.
He stretched out his chubby little hand and—SMACK! SMACK!—pushed the utterly uncool Dragon Horns back into his head.
It definitely needs to be said aloud, he mused.
Ye Nianbai, in a deliberately cool voice, declared loudly, "I love Jingjing the most! Change! Change! Change! Transform!"
However, the next second, the same shiny, adorably cute little Dragon Horns once again sprouted from his forehead.
So frustrating!
Ye Nianbai grabbed at his thick, short hair.
Sheng Liangliang tried her best as well, and the same style of little Dragon Horns appeared on her.
Yun Xiaosu thought it was fun and also sprouted two little Dragon Horns on her head.
In that moment, Ye Nianbai’s jaw dropped.
"Wow! Susu, how do you have little Dragon Horns too?"
"Of course, Susu is a noble Little Princess from the Mu Continent, um..."
Sheng Liangliang had let the secret slip.
Yun Xiaosu immediately covered her mouth, fearful that if the adults found out she wasn’t an orphan, they would send her away.
Then she couldn’t stay and play with everyone!
At this time, Ye Shen came looking for the three kids and happened upon this scene.
He saw the three children with irresistibly touchable little Dragon Horns sprouting from their heads.
He was completely stunned!
It was no surprise to Ye Shen that his little nephew and niece were little dragonlings, but the child they picked up too?
Are little dragonlings so common now?
If he wasn’t mistaken, even in the Mu Continent, there weren’t many little dragonlings, right?
Such cute creatures, one could captivate a person’s heart!
How could he handle three?
Ye Shen rubbed his mermaid eyes vigorously, his heart feeling as if it had been struck by something soft, suddenly turning tender.
The next second, he bolted towards them.
He scooped up Yun Xiaosu in his arms, overwhelmed with excitement.
"Oh my god, my little treasure, are you a little dragonling too? Could you possibly be my brother’s biological daughter?"
"Uncle, Susu isn’t, really!"
But Ye Shen didn’t believe her.
He carried Xiao Susu and rushed into the house.
「In the West Garden of the palace, the spacious living room was occupied by Ye Junqing, who sat on the sofa reading documents, his presence commanding.」
Ye Shen walked in, interrupting his father’s thoughts abruptly, his excited voice crashing like thunder.
"Dad, look! I didn’t expect Susu to be a little dragonling too! Could she also be my brother’s daughter?"
CLANG! Ye Xinguang, who was walking in with a cup of tea, dropped it.
The fragile white porcelain cup shattered all over the floor.
As the scalding tea hit the floor, hot water splashed onto Ye Xinguang’s ankle, making her gasp in pain.
Ye Junqing, seeing that his wife was scalded, didn’t care whether Susu was his granddaughter or not.
He crossed the distance in a few quick strides, crouching to check if her ankle was burned, the distress in his eyes evident.
"Someone, bring some egg white over."
Applying egg white on a burn was a convenient and effective remedy.
Ye Xinguang said, "I’m not burned, don’t worry. But Susu, this child..."
How could she also have little Dragon Horns on her head?
"How can it be nothing? It’s all red!"
Ye Junqing, who cherished his wife more than life, would not let her dismiss it lightly.
He picked her up and sat her down on the sofa.
The butler was quick to act, bringing over a bowl of egg white.
Ye Junqing lifted Ye Xinguang’s ankle, gently applying the egg white to the reddened skin to cool it.
His movements were careful and tender.
"Grandma, Grandma, does it hurt?"
Ye Nianbai scurried over, standing beside her, ever so considerate. "Grandma, I’ll blow on it for you, and then it won’t hurt."
Ye Xinguang looked at the children with affection. "It’s nothing, your grandpa is just making a fuss. Grandma is perfectly fine."
Sheng Liangliang also toddled over, copying the action, "Grandma, Liangliang will blow on it too."
Ye Xinguang’s heart was warmed by their affection; her grandchildren were so dutiful. She felt incredibly blessed in this life.
"Grandma, Susu wants to blow on it too!"
Yun Xiaosu, held in Ye Shen’s arms, saw her brother and sister being so attentive to their grandma. Fearing she would be left out, she insisted on being put down.
Ye Shen set her down.
Yun Xiaosu ran over, stood next to Ye Nianbai and Sheng Liangliang, puffed up her pink, chubby cheeks, and blew hard at Ye Xinguang’s ankle. WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
How could Ye Xinguang not be moved by the devotion of these three little treasures?
"All three of you are wonderful. After you blew on it for Grandma, it doesn’t hurt at all anymore."
Ye Xinguang focused her gaze on Yun Xiaosu. Could her daughter-in-law have had triplets? she wondered.
Ye Shen, sharing her thought, said excitedly, "Dad, Mom, is it possible that Sister-in-law didn’t have fraternal twins, but triplets?"
This question was irresistibly intriguing.
They all desperately wanted to know the answer. Now, the family had no idea how many children their daughter-in-law had actually carried!
Ye Junqing felt this matter wasn’t difficult to resolve. He ordered his son, "Ye Shen, go buy a Paternity Tester. When your older brother gets back, have him do a paternity test with this child. Then we’ll know if she’s really my granddaughter. There’s no need to keep guessing. Speaking of which, where is your older brother?"
