Chapter 16

At this moment, Ye Fan took out an antique-looking wooden box from his pocket; it was quite simple.

Upon opening the box, he saw four necklaces lying inside. The red cords were simple, yet the pendants hanging on them were exceptionally beautiful, emitting a faint white glow.

“Ye Fan, did you buy these for the kids?” At this time, Bai Susu’s eyes brightened with love brimming in her eyes. The pendant resembled the shape of a water droplet, encased in a transparent stone, and within that transparent stone was a small red stone. The pendant was indeed unique.

What kind of stone was this?

How come she had never seen it before?

“I bought these for the kids. There’s a set of four, one for each of the little ones, to keep them safe,” Ye Fan nodded as he spoke.

Of course, he noticed the affection in Bai Susu’s eyes. Indeed, girls liked such jewelry.

Unfortunately, these were meant for his daughters.

He took out one of the pendants and put it on his eldest, Ye Bing. The pendant glowed faintly, and the red stone within it revealed a character, an ‘ice’ symbol, which was the name of his eldest daughter, Ye Bing.

Ye Fan was instantly stunned by this scene.

Indeed, this pendant was no ordinary item.

It seemed to have recognized its owner automatically.

Next, Ye Fan put the necklaces on the second, third, and fourth children as well. Similarly, their pendants displayed their names in the red stones.

The babies looked really adorable with them on.

‘Congratulations, Host, on the recognition of the names of the babies. Reward: Constitution +5, Appearance +3, Personal Charm +3, Intelligence +5.’

The System’s voice once again rang out in Ye Fan’s mind.

It seemed to have been waiting here for him.

He thought so. Naming the babies, such a big event, how could there not be a reward?

So here it was, the time to receive his reward.

However, this reward was quite special.

Constitution, appearance, personal charm, these were all good.

Suddenly, Ye Fan felt his body lighten significantly and filled with strength. He believed he could now take on three men with his bare hands, no problem.

Regarding appearance, he would look at himself in the mirror later, heh heh.

It made sense for personal charm too. With an increase in charm, he would make a better impression on people and things would go more smoothly.

But what was this Intelligence thing about?

Why was he being rewarded with an Intelligence +5? Was his IQ not sufficient?

Was the System belittling his intelligence?

Damn it, that’s not a good way to play.

This was absolutely incredible!

Observing Ye Fan at this moment, Bai Susu for some reason thought that Ye Fan suddenly seemed a lot more handsome and attractive. She remembered that Ye Fan was already the school hunk. But now, he seemed even more likable. Yet his facial features hadn’t changed. Could it be her own illusion?

Perhaps, it was the sight of Ye Fan’s affection for the children that made her feel he was charming and attractive, making him seem more handsome.

“Oh, right, Susu, I also bought some milk powder that’s good for developing the kids’ intelligence, it’s outside, four cans in total. I heard it’s very effective, so I bought it. If it’s good, I’ll buy some more next time,” Ye Fan said, turning his face towards Bai Susu.

“Mm-hm, I know. I’ll have Aunt Mei prepare it,” Bai Susu replied, but a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

He was so good to the children, but when it came to her… it seemed he had forgotten.

Still, their relationship had gotten to this point because of the children, and such emotions of hers seemed a bit petulant.

Bai Susu, what exactly are you thinking about?

You and Ye Fan are impossible, so stop entertaining such thoughts.

Of course, Ye Fan just happened to see the hint of disappointment in Bai Susu’s eyes, and he smiled softly, his eyes filled with tenderness.

He knew that this girl was also envious.

Hehe, watching himself give so many gifts to the babies, it was only natural for Bai Susu to feel envious.

“Susu, guess what this is?” Ye Fan approached the bed, casually pulling out a wooden box slightly larger than the one before from somewhere.

“What’s this?” Bai Susu asked in surprise upon seeing the wooden box in front of her.

Could this be another gift for the children?

Why are there so many gifts?

The children are indeed fortunate to have a father like Ye Fan.

Many old people say that a daughter is her father’s past life lover, could it be true?

However, Bai Susu, who had never experienced her parents’ warmth, wished for her own children to experience it properly, for them to grow up happy and fortunate.

She would give all her love to her children.

“Open it and see, then you’ll know,” Ye Fan said with a mysterious smile, looking at Bai Susu’s puzzled face. He really wanted to pinch her cheeks but feared he might startle her, so he refrained.

Ye Fan had long realized that he had unwittingly fallen in love with this beautiful university belle and senior.

That’s right, Bai Susu was his university senior; he was just a freshman while Bai Susu was already a sophomore. However, they were the same age, and the fate between them was truly peculiar.

“Oh.” Bai Susu glanced at Ye Fan before slowly opening the box to reveal two jade bracelets—both rare purple jade, so beautiful!

At first sight, Bai Susu fell in love with the jade bracelets, the most beautiful ones she had ever seen.

Since it was a pair, did that mean they were for couples, or even marriage bracelets?

Thinking this, Bai Susu’s cheeks involuntarily reddened, but she quickly regained her composure.

She hadn’t expected Ye Fan to remember her.

He had prepared gifts for the children and for her as well.

At that moment, she felt somewhat at a loss.

Why was he so nice to her?

She had made it clear that it was impossible between them.

Bai Susu wanted to clarify it again, but when she looked up at Ye Fan’s gentle face, she somehow couldn’t bear to do so.

Bringing it up at this moment would probably be a killjoy, likely upsetting him.

Never mind, she wouldn’t mention it for now.

“Let me put it on for you.” Ye Fan picked up one of the jade bracelets and took hold of Bai Susu’s small hand, its fair and smooth skin sending him into slight turmoil. Ah, such a beautiful hand.

Ye Fan carefully slid the jade bracelet onto Bai Susu’s slender and slightly small hand, easily fitting it on.

As soon as the jade bracelet was worn, two small characters appeared—upon closer inspection, they spelled ‘Susu.’ The characters appeared inside the bracelet, not engraved on the outside.

Ye Fan understood that the bracelet had accepted its owner.

“Eh, I didn’t see any characters on the jade bracelet before, how did my name suddenly appear? It’s so magical,” Bai Susu exclaimed with delight.

This way, the bracelet became her very own, one of a kind.

She also noticed that the jade bracelet seemed to be adjusting its size to fit her wrist; it was a bit large at first, but now it fit just right.

Could she be seeing things?
