Ye Moliang was over the moon. His big, smiling eyes were wide as saucers.

In trying for a daughter, his parents had given birth to four sons in a row. He was the fourth.

His parents had not only come to Luo City to check on his eldest brother’s injuries; they had heard that there were many orphans in Luo City and wanted to adopt a daughter.

Ye Moliang decided that he would make his parents adopt this awesome and beautiful sister!

Xia Jinmian was in a daze. The little boy tapped furiously at his cell phone with his little fingers. Then, he put down his cell phone and gave Xia Jinmian a toothy grin. “Sister, my Daddy and Mommy will be here soon!”

Xia Jinmian was still gobsmacked. “???”

Half an hour later, the door of the milk tea shop was pushed open again, and a middle-aged couple walked in.

The woman had an air of elegance and a beautiful face. Dressed very low-key, she looked good for her age—as if she was just in her early thirties. She walked to the little boy nervously and hugged him.

“Oh, Bubba, you scared Mommy. Why are you always running off? What if the bad guys catch you?”

The man approached with a dark expression. He had a dignified aura and exuded a terrifying coldness. Xia Jinmian could not help but take a few more glances at the man.

Ye Moliang snorted and regained his aloof expression. “Daddy and Mommy only have eyes for Eldest Brother. There’s no Bubba!”

“Silly Bubba, we’re worried about your Eldest Brother. He’s our breadwinner. Otherwise, how can Daddy and Mommy spend his money? In Daddy and Mommy’s eyes, Bubba is the most important!”

Ye Moliang did not believe it. His mother was always like this in front of each son and always treated him like a three-year-old child.

“Bubba, who allowed you to run off?” The man spoke. His voice was authoritative and instantly silenced the noisy milk tea shop.

Not only was Ye Moliang not afraid, he even crawled out of the woman’s arms and hugged Xia Jinmian’s arm. He said coldly, “This Pretty Sister saved Bubba twice today. Bubba wants her to be Bubba’s sister!”

Ye Yelin and Dou Manni sized up Xia Jinmian.

The young girl looked very beautiful and vivacious, giving off a sweet girl-next-door vibe. However, her eyes made the vibe illusory.

There was an imperceptible trace of rebelliousness and diabolicalness in her bright eyes.

Ye Yelin’s eyes were very sharp. He could tell at a glance that this woman was not as simple as she looked on the surface. Her fearlessness in front of him had already surpassed many people of the same age.

“Daddy, if this Pretty Sister hadn’t saved Bubba, Bubba would have died—bitten by a venomous snake and falling to my death.”

“Oh my god!” Dou Manni held Xia Jinmian’s hand nervously with an exaggerated expression. “Young lady, my Bubba is quite a handful. Sorry for the trouble. Thank you for today. Otherwise… Sigh, I’m such an incompetent mother.”

“That’s right, absolutely incompetent!” Ye Moliang pouted. “Daddy, Mommy… since you guys like to live in your love bubble, let Sister take care of me. I like her! Sister is an orphan and can be adopted.”

Dou Manni was surprised. Such a beautiful young lady was an orphan? Nobody wanted to adopt her? Were they blind?

Dou Manni was moved by Bubba. She really wanted to adopt a daughter whom she could have girl talk with. This sweet young lady fits the bill perfectly.

“Hubby, since Bubba likes her, why don’t…”

When Ye Yelin’s cold gaze shifted to Dou Manni, he immediately became tender and asked in a low voice, “Do you like her?”

Dou Manni took a few more glances at Xia Jinmian. Perhaps it was because Bubba liked her; but the more she looked at her, the more pleasing she found her to the eye. In fact, she found this young lady more pleasing to the eye than those socialites she had seen.

“I do!” Dou Manni looked at Xia Jinmian and asked, “Lass, would you be willing to become my daughter?”

Xia Jinmian was dumbfounded by the question. What kind of twist was this? She was adopted so quickly?

Ye Moliang was afraid that his Pretty Sister would reject him, so he hugged her arm and wheedled. “Will you be Bubba’s sister? Sister gets to swipe all of Bubba’s cards in the future!”

The corners of Xia Jinmian’s mouth twitched. Did a five-year-old brat just become her sugar daddy?
