Chapter 1452: Chapter 1452: Children Parting Ways
A subordinate walked in and reported that Third Young Master Jun had come to present the complete plan and arrangement for the deal three days later.
"Three days later?" The godfather’s eyes suddenly flashed with fierce flames, twisted yet brimming with anticipation.
Sharpening the sword for ten years, finally revealing its edge!
How can one not look forward to this grand, bloody feast?
...
Ye Lu returned to the Hua family estate after arriving back from the airport.
Her two little treasures were thrilled to see her, but they also complained—why weren’t they allowed to visit her during this time? They had been worried sick and wanted to look after her, but never had the chance.
"Mom, do you have a little brother now? Is that why you don’t love Yiyi anymore? Don’t like Yiyi anymore?" Ye Yiyi pouted, her small lips sticking out so far they could hang an oil bottle.
Ye Lu looked at the little girl, who stood with her hands on her hips and her big eyes glaring, pouting angrily. Her heart softened instantly, filled with affection, love, and an ache.
She pulled the little girl into her arms, gently rubbing her fluffy little head.
"Who dares to not spoil my little princess? Yiyi is the most adorable and clever little girl in the world, Mommy’s precious treasure, loved by everyone, irresistible like blooming flowers."
Ye Yiyi finally broke into a smile, proudly raising her head in delight:
"Of course! This princess’s position as the most pampered one in the family will never be shaken. Everyone must spoil me the most. But if Mommy has little brothers in her tummy, then big sister can share some love with them."
She lowered her head, facing Ye Lu’s belly, patting her chest with determination:
"Dear little brothers, you need to come out quickly, okay? Yiyi Jie-jie will take care of you, show you how to eat, drink, and laze around, and be wild together. Grow up fast, and we can form the ’Jun Family Trouble-Maker Quartet,’ beating every bad guy who dares bully Mom and Dad until they’re scared and running, leaving chaos everywhere!"
Ye Yuan felt utterly baffled.
Ye Lu chuckled, pinching her daughter’s plump little cheeks.
"You silly girl, you’d only corrupt your little brothers."
Ye Lu then pulled her handsome and smart son into her arms as well.
"Yuanyuan, what have you been up to recently?"
Ye Yuan: "Learning corporate management with Uncle."
Ye Lu looked surprised: "You’re still so young. There’s no rush to learn so many things. Aren’t you already studying the stock market under Old Sir Vincent? That’s too much—are you doing this because Uncle pressured you? I can talk to him."
Although Yuanyuan was being trained as the heir, she didn’t want to burden him with too much pressure.
"No, I asked Uncle myself," Ye Yuan replied calmly.
Ye Lu froze, staring at her son’s youthful yet unusually composed, grown-up face, heart wrenching with pain.
This child didn’t laugh much, never displaying the innocence or capriciousness children his age ought to have.
It was her fault—she had never been able to give him a normal, happy childhood. At such a tender age, he was already bearing the burdens of an adult’s world, living arduously, striving hard to grow up.
She wanted to take care of him, yet she was always the one being cared for.
Though she couldn’t pamper him as she did Yiyi, he was the child she felt most heartache for, the one she owed the most.
"Silly boy, you don’t need to do this. I know you deeply want to help Mommy, but Mommy wishes much more for you to be happy." Her eyes grew moist as she tenderly caressed his face.
Her child... likely didn’t even understand what happiness tasted like.
She always wished he could be a little happier, not burden himself too much, or force himself to mature.
"You should live for yourself, not for Mommy. Do you understand, Yuanyuan?"
Otherwise, what will happen to her Yuanyuan if she’s gone one day?
He seemed the strongest, yet he was still a child—a particularly stubborn and sensitive one. Her greatest fear was that he might believe her death was a failure on his part to protect Mommy, and carry that sorrow for the rest of his life.
