“Daddy? Am I hearing it right?”
He Yuyao pursed her lips, her gaze fixed on Fang Yunshu, her voice hushed.
Fang Yunshu’s expression turned sour as she muttered, “Oh god, again?”
“Stop!” He Yuyao quickly grabbed Fang Yunshu’s arm and said, “This is not the time to disturb her. Ling’er needs communication and interaction the most. As long as she’s willing to talk, no matter what she says or to whom, let her speak.”
Fang Yunshu paused for a moment, then relaxed a bit, realizing that He Yuyao had misunderstood.
Following He Yuyao’s words, she added, “Recently, she seems to be talking to Daddy occasionally.”
“That’s a good sign. At least she misses Daddy and hopes for his presence. If her Daddy were to accompany her, it would be highly effective. So, um…” He Yuyao paused.
Fang Yunshu chimed in, “Forget about that jerk, but I’ve thought of a solution. Let’s find someone to impersonate her Daddy.”
“Great idea!” He Yuyao nodded in agreement, then said, “But we can’t be careless about it. The person impersonating her Daddy should resemble him and be willing to live with you. It would be best if you find a man you like. If possible, make it authentic.”
Fang Yunshu firmly replied, “It’s not possible. 1 won’t look for anyone else. How can 1 genuinely care for Ling’er if he’s not her biological father?”
“But things have changed now. Your status and position are different. You’re the CEO of a multinational company, and many people want you,” He Yuyao said.
Frowning, Fang Yunshu responded, “Do you think those who pursue me for my status will sincerely take care of Ling’er?”
With less conviction, He Yuyao said, “Well, you never know. Maybe there will be someone.”
“Forget it. 1’11 find someone to impersonate,” He Yuyao quickly advised. “Well, then you have to be careful. The impersonator must be reliable and not cause any problems.”
Today, Fang Yunshu’s words were a preparation for He Yuyao. In case their plan was discovered someday, at least today’s conversation might be of some use.
The scene shifted to Ye Xiaofei. Tonight, he returned directly to Ning Xiaoyu’s house.
Before entering, Ye Xiaofei was a little nervous, worried that Auntie Ning might scold him.
However, when he came in, Auntie Ning smiled and said, “Xiaofei, you’re back. Go wash your hands. Dinner is ready, and 1 stewed some fish today.”
“Okay.” Ye Xiaofei replied and quickly headed to the bathroom.
While washing his hands, Ning Xiaoyu quietly approached the bathroom door.
They exchanged a glance, and Ye Xiaofei lowered his voice, asking, “What did Auntie say?”
Ning Xiaoyu also lowered her voice and replied, “She didn’t say anything. She was just happy when she heard you came back.”
Ye Xiaofei scratched his head and said, “I’m nervous.”
“I feel the same way,” Ning Xiaoyu replied with a troubled expression.
During the meal, Auntie Ning watched the two with a smiling face. Apart from happiness, there was no sign of any other emotions on her face.
Ye Xiaofei and Ning Xiaoyu could only eat quietly and concentrate. They didn’t even dare to look at Auntie Ning.
“Xiaofei, you can stay in Xiaoyu’s room tonight.”
Finally, Auntie Ning spoke, but her words left the two stunned.
“Mom! What… what are you saying?” Xiaoyu blushed and stammered.
Auntie Ning smiled slightly and said, “Xiaoyu will be going to college in a few days. You don’t have many days left to be together. Since that’s the case, you should cherish the time. I understand you both, and I don’t oppose it. Just be careful not to get Xiaoyu pregnant.”
“Mom! No, Xiaofei and I haven’t done anything!” Ning Xiaoyu said anxiously, stomping her foot.
Auntie Ning’s smile grew broader, and she said, “There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. You’re both adults now, and many kids experiment with forbidden fruit even in high school.”
Ning Xiaoyu turned to look at Ye Xiaofei and stammered, “You explain to Mom.”
Ye Xiaofei awkwardly scratched his head and said, “Auntie, we really…”
Auntie Ning interrupted Ye Xiaofei with a smile and said, “Alright, I believe you. You can do whatever you want. I guess I was just meddling too much.”
Ye Xiaofei and Ning Xiaoyu exchanged glances. It was obvious they wouldn’t be able to explain this, and Auntie Ning would never believe them.
Ye Xiaofei took a deep breath, smiled, and said, “Thank you, Auntie. We’ll listen to you.”
“What?” Ning Xiaoyu’s eyes and mouth widened, and her small mouth could almost fit an egg at that moment.
“Haha…” Auntie Ning burst into laughter, “I knew Xiaofei would take responsibility. Good boy! Good boy! 1 can rest assured with you and Xiaoyu together.”
Ye Xiaofei chuckled and said, “You can be at ease. 1’11 never let Xiaoyu suffer any grievances in this lifetime.”
“Uh-huh, 1 didn’t misjudge you.”
Ning Xiaoyu blushed even more, feeling embarrassed, awkward, and incredibly joyful at the same time.
Did Xiaofei mean…. he wanted to be with her?
