Chapter 566 - The King on Top, the Beauty at the Bottom?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

There was complete silence in the living room. Cheng Anya looked at her daughter in horror. Third Young Master Ye had seen great things in his life. In fact, he long knew that the child could understand and recognize people. Although he always said that his daughter was a genius, he didn’t know that she was this special.

He never thought that she could talk.

It had only been seven days since she was born. Who had ever encountered a child who could talk in seven days? Third Young Master Ye had a stiff expression.

It was the same for the young kid. His expression looked exactly like Third Young Master Ye’s, as if struck by lightning. His dark eyes were widened in shock, and it was rare for him to be so stunned. His little sister was really too scary.

Her tone was naive, and she spoke slowly as if she was not fluent. However, her pronunciation was very clear.

The little princess smiled. Her pink face was cute and lovely, and she seemed to appreciate the shocked expression of her father and brother. She thought it was funny and laughed widely. Her big eyes were full of joy.

She looked just like an angel.

“Sister, were you the one talking?” The young kid had a faster reaction than Third Young Master Ye, probably because he was too young to realize how scary it was for a seven-day baby to be able to talk. He had thought that babies could talk and understand words the moment they were born. If Cheng Anya didn’t tell him, he didn’t know that he had to wait for a period of time before his sister could call him ‘brother’.

So, he could accept it better than Third Young Master Ye.

After all, it was against the laws of nature. The two adults were so shocked that they could not get back to their senses. After being stunned for a moment, the young kid held the little princess’s hand and asked excitedly, “Sister, who am I? Who am I?”

The little princess smiled and clapped her chubby fair hands. “Brother, Ning Ning.”

“My brother’s name is Ye Ningyuan.”

The little princess repeated the young kid’s words. “Ye Ningyuan. Okay, I’ll remember it.”

The young kid tugged Third Young Master Ye with a face full of excitement. “Daddy, my sister knows my name. She just called my name!”

Third Young Master Ye was still in the state of being struck by lightning. He couldn’t help but sit on the carpet when Ning Ning tugged him, and he looked at her baby girl in shock.

Suddenly, he felt strange. Was his daughter a reincarnation of an angel?

Or… Did this girl even belong to their family?

He had always believed that there were no ghosts or gods in the world, and he didn’t believe the concept of having a previous life either. Everything should be in line with the law of nature. Babies are made by women and men. No matter how smart and agile they are, they should also follow the law of nature. Even if this child was a cyborg, she shouldn’t be this special too.

He couldn’t figure out why and how.

But it was undeniable that he liked this daughter very much. She looked like Cheng Anya, especially her eyes. They looked exactly like hers. No one would deny that she was her daughter. Their daughter.

Cheng Anya had not returned to her senses. She looked down at her pinkish face, lips, and nose. She looked just like an ordinary baby. Then, why?

“Daddy, Mommy, come back. Sister is watching you.” The young kid smiled and waved his hands in front of Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya, hoping to bring them back to their senses.

He held the little princess’ hand, smiled, and said, “You have to forgive Mommy and Daddy. They are just too excited over the fact that you can talk. Look. They are not in their right mind now. Daddy and Mommy are too weak. Your brother is still the best, right?”

‘What a brat!’

Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya stared at him at the same time. The young kid ignored all of them and focused on his baby sister.

The little princess smiled sweetly and shouted, “Hello, Daddy and Mommy!”

“Hello, baby.” Third Young Master Ye blurted out unknowingly before he kept quiet again. “Baby, why are you able to speak?”

The little princess’s dark eyes sparkled. She smiled and said, “I knew how to speak from the start. I wanted to talk a few days ago, but I couldn’t. I can finally speak my mind today.”

Cheng Anya and Third Young Master Ye were suddenly reminded of the times they saw her rosy lips opening. Cheng Anya even laughed and joked that her daughter might know how to speak at an early age, but they didn’t expect that it would become the truth.

‘Isn’t it too young for her to start speaking?’ Cheng Anya thought, terrified.

“Baby, are you feeling any discomfort?” Cheng Anya asked anxiously.

“No.”

Cheng Anya calmed down slightly. Third Young Master Ye looked at the baby curiously. The young kid was playing with her while holding her hand, and her skin felt soft and tender. It was nice to touch and the young kid loved it so much that he couldn’t bear to let go of her.

Third Young Master Ye wondered. “It usually takes a long time for children to learn to talk and walk. Why… Baby, why were you able to understand everything the moment you were born?”

The little princess smiled. “I don’t know. Isn’t that a good thing?”

Cheng Anya said solemnly, “If anyone knows about this, you would be sent for research.”

“Who would dare to!” Both the young kid and Third Young Master Ye spoke simultaneously. Third Young Master Ye snorted coldly. “Anybody who dares to touch my daughter must have a death wish.”

Cheng Anya shrugged her shoulders. She was merely saying it. Was the big reaction necessary?

“Well, well, it’s a good thing that my sister can talk. Don’t think too much about it. My sister will start to talk sooner or later anyway.” The young kid smiled and poked his sister’s lovely cheek. “Sister, am I right?”

“Right.” The little princess nodded sweetly and looked at Cheng Anya. “Mommy, Daddy, don’t worry. I’m fine. I love Mommy, Daddy, and brother.”

“It’s not fair. Why am I ranked the last?” The young kid tried to fight for the little princess’ affection with Cheng Anya. He held her hands and said, “Sister, you can’t be too biased.”

Third Young Master Ye, “…”

Cheng Anya, “…”

‘Damn, can you be more shameless? She is our daughter. Of course we are ranked higher!’

The little princess sucked on her index finger and looked at the young kid innocently. She blinked her huge eyes, hinting that she was innocent and under great pressure. The young kid waved his hands. “Forget it, forget it. I’ll be the last then.”

The little princess smiled and reached out to the young kid. “Carry me.”

“Okay, okay.” The young kid sat on the carpet, leaned against the sofa, and hugged the little princess carefully. Cheng Anya repeatedly reminded him to be careful and not to hurt her. Happy, the young kid nodded and held the little princess. It was great that she could speak. Anyone could now hold her without fighting for it. Third Young Master Ye looked at the young kid in jealousy.

“Daughter, Daddy wants a hug too.”

“Daddy, didn’t you hold me just now?” The little princess smiled.

“It doesn’t mean I can’t hold you now.” Third Young Master Ye retorted. The young kid looked down on him and said, “Daddy, just let me hold her for a while. How selfish. Be careful that I will forbid you from holding my daughter in the future. You will have no granddaughter to hold then.”

Third Young Master Ye, “…”

Cheng Anya, “…”

‘You are really thinking far ahead.’ Cheng Anya looked far into the distance. Third Young Master Ye thought that both his daughter and granddaughter were equally important, so in order to ensure that he would be allowed to hold his granddaughter in the future, he reluctantly let his son hold the little princess first.

“Wait. Why do I have to hold your daughter? Your mommy and I are not thirty years old yet. We could give birth to another football team and have as many sons as we want. Why do I have to worry about not having a granddaughter? Isn’t that right, Little Anya?”

“Right your head. You give birth to a football team on your own.” Cheng Anya rejected him immediately. He definitely couldn’t live a day without teasing her.

“Nowadays, no one likes to hear the truth.” Third Young Master Ye pretended to sigh, and both the young kid and the little princess laughed. Cheng Anya was so embarrassed that her face had gone red.

She looked at the little princess and thought to herself. ‘This child is really something. She is only seven days old, but the way she speaks is so clear and orderly. Obviously, she has a mature mind and could think independently as well. This is really rare. No, it is something that nobody had seen before.’

‘Strange things happen every year, especially in the Ye family.’

Cheng Anya had to think like this. She could only regard the magical things that had happened to the Ye family as things not worth mentioning. There were bound to be more frightening things that might happen in the future.

‘Forget it. I should stop thinking too much. The young kid is right. She would be able to talk sooner or later.’

“Baby, can you walk too?” Cheng Anya suddenly asked. She was excited. She had to film her first steps down if she could walk. However, she could not walk since her bones were still fragile.

The little princess said with a smile, “Mommy, I will be disabled if I start walking.”

“When can you walk then?”

“I don’t know,” the little princess said truthfully. It was impossible for her to know when she could start walking.

“Name. How about your name?” The young kid suddenly remembered what they were doing before. They had all forgotten what the little princess said. The young kid brought all the crushed paper balls over and said, “Sister, time to choose a name for yourself. Which name do you want? They are all very pleasant.”

“Hailan,” the little princess said. “Ye Hailan.”

“Hailan?” The young kid and Third Young Master Ye looked at each other. It seemed like none of them had written that name down. But, it was a good name. “It’s a good name. There is a beautiful film in France called ‘The Blue Sea And Sky’1. I liked watching it when I was a student.” Third Young Master Ye pondered.

“Ye Hailan. Hmmm, great name. My sister is really smart. We won’t have to fight since you didn’t use the names we have thought of. Long live harmony!” The young kid clenched his fists and Cheng Anya didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

‘Long live harmony? What is this child thinking about?’

Third Young Master Ye narrowed his eyes. ‘Fight? How aggressive.’

The little princess smiled, and everything was settled. The little princess of the Ye family was named Ye Hailan.

“Baby, why do you insist on calling yourself Hailan?” Cheng Anya was curious.

Ye Hailan said with a smile, “It’s a nice name!”

Although Cheng Anya still had doubts in her heart, she did not probe further. She just accepted whatever her daughter said. The young kid played with Ye Hailan for a while. Her energy was drained quickly since she was still young. “Mommy, I am sleepy.”

“Are you hungry?”

“No.”

“Then, Mommy shall tuck you to sleep.” Cheng Anya carefully carried her to bed and covered her up with a blanket. Ye Hailan looked around and asked, “Mommy, are you afraid of me?”

“You are my daughter. What am I afraid of?” Cheng Anya said with a smile. Ye Hailan fell asleep contentedly.

Ye Hailan’s ability to speak reached Su Man and Bai Ye’s ears a few moments later. The young kid couldn’t wait to show off his sister’s intelligence, but he knew his limits. Apart from Su Man and Bai Ye, he didn’t tell anybody else about it, even Dana, whom he was friends with.

After all, it was a big thing. He wouldn’t spread the news everywhere.

Bai Ye was extremely curious. He had been working as a doctor for so many years and had seen all kinds of strange diseases and people. However, he had never encountered a seven-day-old child who could talk. It should really be included in the world record. There was absolutely no one else who was like Ye Hailan.

Su Man was also curious about her. Both of them wanted to visit Ye Hailan with one accord.

Cheng Anya welcomed them. After sleeping for two hours, the baby was hungry. Cheng Anya was done feeding her when Bai Ye and Su Man arrived. Ye Hailan burped in a cute manner and looked at the two beautiful uncles curiously.

Bai Ye praised. “Babies really do look different every day. I haven’t seen her for three days, but she seems livelier today.”

Ye Hailan was beyond cute. She was extremely lively. Even though she was young, she had a sense of sanctity that no one could describe. She appeared unapproachable, as if everyone in the world were commoners, as if one extra look at them would desecrate her.

Su Man did not know why, but he also had this feeling. Indeed, the pure gaze of the baby had a sense of holiness.

She was like a celestial being.

“Yes, I think so too,” Cheng Anya said with a smile. Babies were like that. They would grow prettier as time went by.

“Hailan baby, greet them. This is Bai Ye and this is Su Man. You have to thank them. Without them, you and Mommy would be in a very dangerous state. Or worse, you might not have been born into this world,” the young kid said.

Ye Hailan smiled and greeted them cutely. “Hello, Uncle Bai Ye and Uncle Beauty.”

Everybody, “…”

Bai Ye was jealous. ‘Why did she call him by his name but call Su Man a beauty? This is unfair. Her taste in men is bad. Am I ugly? Am I?’

Cheng Anya was embarrassed. ‘Uncle Beauty?’ She was speechless. Suddenly, it occurred to her that Bailing had always held Su Man and called him ‘Uncle Beautiful’. Um… This is weird.’

The Su family couldn’t get away from the word ‘beauty’. Sister Beautiful, Uncle Beautiful, and Uncle Beauty—they were a family of beauties.

“Why is he Uncle Beauty?” Third Young Master Ye was very confused. There seemed to be a little contradiction between ‘beauty’ and ‘uncle’. He wouldn’t be confused if she called him ‘Auntie Beauty’ since he could take it that his young daughter didn’t have the ability to decipher his gender yet.

Ye Hailan tilted her head and bit her lower lip. She said innocently, “Didn’t brother call him a beauty?”

All the people looked at the young kid. It turned out that he had set a ‘good’ example for her.

The young kid was proud and stuck his thumb up. “My sister is really smart. I’ll always be your role model, okay? I guarantee that you will be the world’s smartest baby.”

“Okay.” Ye Hailan agreed happily.

Everyone kept their opinions to themselves unanimously. ‘Young kid, you are too shameless. Even if she doesn’t take you as her role model, Little Hailan is also the smartest baby in the world.’

Su Man didn’t mind his new nickname at all. To be accurate, he didn’t care about what others call him at all. He was used to being called a beauty anyway.

Although it was not a good thing for a man to look so pretty, he couldn’t possibly abandon the looks that were given by his parents.

“Ning Ning, it seems that your sister will be stronger than you in the future,” Bai Ye said. Ning Ning did not mind at all.

“That’s great. My sister should be stronger so that she won’t be bullied by others.”

Everyone laughed. That was very true.

Ye Hailan smiled so widely that her eyes and brows were curved.

Third Young Master Ye and his family had lived in Riyadh for nearly a month, and Cheng Anya had been trying to recover from childbirth. Third Young Master Ye had originally intended to go back to City A as soon as possible. However, considering Cheng Anya’s health, he had to drop the idea. He had already lived there for half a year and there was only one more month to go. He could do nothing but wait patiently.

What’s more, his children were all by his side. Wherever he went was home to him, and it wouldn’t be boring. They had led a relaxed and happy life during that period of time.

The couple had planned to wait for Anya to recover before returning to City A, while Ning Ning would go back to England. Bai Ye felt bitter as the relationship between him and Su Man stayed ambiguous. Both of them were too proud to take a step ahead. They enjoyed having an ambiguous relationship, but if Third Young Master Ye’s family left…

What should he do?

Leave together with Ning Ning or stay in Riyadh to pursue Beauty Su?

Bai Ye was torn between staying and going. Why? Because he was reluctant to leave, but he had no reason to stay. Cheng Anya had given birth successfully, and both the mother and child were safe and healthy. He was not needed there anymore.

It was difficult for him to find a reasonable and logical excuse to stay in Riyadh so that he could continue to woo Su Man.

From his point of view, he hoped that Su Man would ask him to stay. However, Bai Ye knew that the probability of this happening was the same as the probability of Hailan being able to talk at seven days old.

Exceptionally small.

Almost negligible!
