Chapter 288: Chapter 288 They are my children_1
Recalling a while ago, the old madam said there was a new sweetheart, a fresh gem to dote on. She hadn’t expected it to be Ye Yiyi. This little girl indeed had real skills, to have won the old madam’s affection so completely in such a short time.
"Little girl, you’ve got some nerve. You stunned the whole crowd the moment you opened your mouth," Third Young Master Jun hoisted her up into his arms, a delighted chuckle in his voice.
Ye Yiyi wrapped her arms around his neck, proudly saying, "Who do you think I am? When I, Ye Yiyi, make an entrance, I am of course the center of everyone’s attention. Nobody is allowed to steal my limelight!"
Third Young Master Jun pinched her small face, finding that this little girl yet again shared a striking resemblance with him in terms of her demeanor—both of them bearing a sense of arrogance and exclusivity that emanated from their bones.
He loved her audacity.
"Are those two children really Third Young Master Jun’s offspring?"
The surrounding guests gasped, completely agitated.
"Look at how intimate they are, they must be father and daughter. Don’t you think the aura of these two people is harmonious? Both are equally devilish, arrogant, and hateful!"
"Exactly, about those two kids, they do bear some resemblance to him."
The Jun couple finally came to their senses amidst the explosive news.
Old Madam Jun, seeing how Third Young Master Jun was doting on Ye Yiyi, became even more stunned, "Yiyi, what did you just call him?"
"Daddy!" Ye Yiyi answered without hesitation.
Ye Lu was so anxious she could have jumped out, "That’s not... Old Madam, haha, children do not know better, they say the daftest things. Please, don’t mind her." Ye Yiyi, you foolish girl, are you seeking death?
Lying in front of Old Madam Jun like this, once exposed, the wrath of the Jun Family will decimate the three of them.
"Indeed, they are my children." Third Young Master Jun spoke resolutely, his words shocking everyone present.
Ye Lu was so shell shocked she stared at him, her hair tousled and speechless.
Had Third Young Master Jun gone mad?
He always indulged Ye Yiyi calling him "Daddy", he may have a wicked sense of humor, but this occasion was different. In front of the Jun elders, speaking these words was essentially finalizing the matter. Could one playfully claim someone else’s child as his own? Wouldn’t that be like wearing a cuckoo’s hat unwittingly?
Third Young Master Jun swiftly wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer, and warned her in a low voice.
"Now that I’ve said it, you dare to oppose me?"
Ye Lu shivered, finding it hard to comprehend his nonsensical actions.
"Why... why would you say that?"
"Humph, would you prefer that everyone here secretly mocks your two children as illegitimate bastards?" His eyes were cold as ice.
He was all too aware of the callousness of these people. If he didn’t take responsibility, she and her two children would undoubtedly become the laughingstock.
Since he planned to marry her, then her children would become his children!
It was his duty to protect his wife and children. He would not put up with anyone humiliating them.
Ye Lu stared in shock at his high-handed profile, her heart shaken to its core. She hadn’t expected him to claim the children as his own in order to protect them.
Her feelings turned even more complicated.
This man’s actions were truly beyond her expectations, although she had always considered him a detestable rogue in every sense of the word, she never expected him to protect her like this.
She had always despised him, feared him, but at this moment, she couldn’t deny there was a touch of gratitude in her heart.
"My goodness, these two children are actually our great-grandchildren." Old Madam Jun’s body shook visibly, her eyes widened in shock and her breathing became erratic, "Quick, fetch me the calming elixir!"
