After the brother and sister returned to the Ye family’s residence, Ye Changfeng and his wife pulled Ye Si close and scrutinized her closely, afraid that their daughter might be missing a strand of hair.

“My precious baby, are you tired? Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Dad will get someone to cook it for you.”

Qin Shiyu quickly yelled out when she heard that. “Didn’t I already tell you to order the kitchen to prepare the dishes in advance? Xixi’s already home, and you’re only getting people to cook now!”

Ye Changfeng felt very aggrieved after being yelled at by his wife and said, “I just had a video conference and forgot all about it.”

“You’re so dumb!”

After Qin Shiyu was done scolding Ye Changfeng, she hurriedly took Ye Si’s dainty hand and her expression instantly turned gentle. “Xixi, go upstairs and rest for a while. Mom bought you a lot of new clothes and bags. Go upstairs and have a look first. The food will be ready soon.”

Ye Si smiled sweetly and said, “Thank you, Mom. Dad didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t be mean to him. I’ll just eat something simple.”

Ye Changfeng immediately looked at his beloved, considerate little girl, his face visibly moved. She was indeed his precious daughter. He had to coax and lie his way through until the third pregnancy before he obtained this sweet daughter!

Qin Shiyu threw a side glance at Ye Changfeng and then said with a smile, “Okay. I’ll listen to you, Xixi. Then I’ll make you some white fungus and red date soup now. It’ll keep you young and beautiful. You’ll look prettier after eating it.”

Ye Mingchen stood at the side and looked at his parents acting in such a kindly manner. He shook his head and grumbled, “Dad, Mom, can’t you see that I’m also standing here? You didn’t even ask me how I am? I went to pick up Xixi and the whole journey back and forth took more than three hours, and you guys didn’t even ask me if I was thirsty or hungry?”

Ye Changfeng almost roared like a thunderstorm. “If you’re hungry, why don’t you go to the kitchen and get something to eat yourself? You’re already twenty-three and you still need me to ask you?”

Ye Mingchen couldn’t hold back anymore. He shouted, “Dad, why do you always vent your anger on me every time you get scolded by Mom? Am I really your biological son? Or did you give birth to me just so that you can vent your anger on me?”

“Little bastard! Are you trying to start a rebellion?”

Ye Changfeng nearly lost his self-control and almost blurted out that if the second son hadn’t unexpectedly cut the queue, he wouldn’t have to wait another three years before he could hug his beloved daughter!

He was already kind enough to this second son! Yet this damn brat still doesn’t know how to be content!

Seeing Ye Changfeng’s furious face, Qin Shiyu quickly said, “Alright, son. I’ll heat up the leftovers in the kitchen for you later. Don’t make your father angry. If your big brother comes back and finds out, he’ll beat you up again.”

Ye Si covered her mouth. She wanted to laugh, but she felt it wouldn’t be kind. She cast a compassionate look at Ye Mingchen and said, “Second Brother, don’t be angry. I’ll share half of my white fungus and red date soup with you later.”

Ye Mingchen almost burst into tears. Luckily, he still had his precious sister who cared for him!

“What’s going on?”

Ye Mingxing came back carrying a briefcase. He reeked of alcohol, and his handsome face was a little flushed, but his lofty, detached demeanor was still elegant and refined, and his aura was not the least bit diminished.

“Mingxing, how’s the negotiation coming along?” Ye Changfeng asked with concern.

Ye Mingxing shook his head, his eyes dimming somewhat. “I think they’re just patronizing me. Our proposal and offer have shown sufficient sincerity, but they’re still beating around the bush and haven’t given us a clear answer.”

After Ye Si heard this, she took Ye Mingxing’s arm and asked, “Big brother, is it a very important project in the company?”

“Mm-hmm. It’s very important! The other party is a subsidiary of Xarmo International Consortium. This subsidiary’s development direction this year is mainly in our country. If we can clinch all of their publicity collaboration deals this year, it will be a huge profit. Most importantly, we can use this opportunity to build our international reputation.”

Ye Si nodded solemnly. Xarmo International Consortium was very well-known in the business world and could be called a miracle.

From the time the company was founded, it only took three years for the founder to become the world’s richest man. It was a true top-tier financial magnate.

Ye Si understood the importance of this matter and immediately deployed the Oracular Skill secretly.

Before long, she said solemnly, “Big Brother, just ignore them. They’ll contact you to sign the contract of their own accord in less than three days.”

Ye Mingxing looked at Ye Si in disbelief. “Younger Sis, you don’t understand the business world. I think they must have found a better choice when they are behaving like this.”

Ye Si smiled faintly. “I know that. But in three days, the so-called first choice will be passed over. By then, the Ye family’s offer will be the only choice left!”

Everyone from the Ye family was stunned when they heard this, but their dazed eyes were filled with the same quizzical look.

Ye Si said softly as she looked at everyone, “Dad, Mom, Big Brother, don’t you believe me?”

“Of course, we do! Of course, we do! How can we not believe you!”

Everyone said in unison.

Ye Mingxing exchanged glances with Ye Changfeng before saying, “Then I’ll listen to Younger Sis and ignore them for three days.”
