Chapter 222: Chapter 144: What are you thinking, you old coot! [Large Chapter, over 7000 words]_4

He was truly a little afraid!

His wife had always been formidable.

He never dared to provoke her, and this time, he really had blundered into the line of fire.

Just now, he hadn’t thought much about it.

Besides, it was his wife who hadn’t made it clear who was pregnant, leading him to believe it was his daughter-in-law.

Now, he was really in trouble.

Alas, he had been too rash!

There was no helping it; the news had been too shocking!

He hadn’t reacted in time.

Now, thinking back, Ye Dong felt very…

It’s no wonder his wife was this angry.

Indeed, he hadn’t been thoughtful enough.

“Well, wife, I was wrong; can’t we talk about this after dinner? Everyone’s waiting to eat,” Ye Dong whispered to Mother Ye, inching closer to her side.

No matter what, it’s never wrong to admit your mistakes first.

Ye Dong had long understood Mother Ye’s temperament.

Women, after all, are the same.

If you care about her, love her, and want to be with her, you have to indulge her, pamper her, and admit your mistakes first when something happens. That’s never wrong.

If you don’t want to be with her anymore, then it doesn’t matter. You can just confront her bluntly and even fight it out if necessary.

Of course, Ye Dong truly loved Mother Ye.

“Eat, eat, eat, what’s there to eat? I’m fed up with anger. You all take your time; Ye Dong, come outside with me!” Mother Ye said, putting down her chopsticks and walking out.

Ye Dong watched the scene unfold with a sense of helplessness.

“Well, you guys eat; we’re just going to have a chat, don’t mind us!” Father Ye said and immediately followed her out.

“Daddy, mommy, great-grandpa, what’s wrong with grandma and grandpa?” Ye Bing asked with innocent, wide eyes, full of child-like confusion.

“Grandma is going to discipline Grandpa again, hahaha!” Little Fourth Ye Jie chuckled with delight.

Everyone at the table turned their heads to look at the precocious Ye Jie.

Um…

“Children, don’t comment on adult matters, understand!” Bai Susu sternly glared at Little Fourth Ye Jie.

This Little Fourth was too frank!

To speak whatever comes to mind, wondering if this trait was good or bad.

“Susu, are you really pregnant?” Bai Zhentian asked again, excitedly.

“Yes, Grandpa,” Bai Susu said with a smile,

her hand subconsciously caressing her belly.

“What does it mean to be pregnant?” Ye Qing, the second child, asked curiously.

“It means there’s a little baby in your mother’s belly; just like all of you came from your mother’s belly, there’s going to be a little brother or sister for you,” Bai Zhentian explained with a smile to the children.

Lovely!

“I see, that’s great! We’ll have another person now; I’ll hold her hand and take her to school and protect her when the time comes!” Ye Yu spoke, his little face beaming with joy.

“That’s great; finally, there’s someone younger than me. I’m not the youngest anymore,” Ye Jie said, her voice tinged with excitement.

“How do you know it’s a brother; what if it’s a sister?” Bai Susu asked Little Fourth Ye Jie.

She had heard people say that what children say is often accurate,

predicting a boy truly means it’s a boy,

and the same goes for a girl.

They say there’s a kind of intuition between children.

Anyway, Bai Susu didn’t understand

it herself. She was just listening to Little Fourth Ye Jie’s words and had asked her.

“This, I just know. It’s definitely a brother! I have a little brother now; you can start preparing things for a little boy. Of course, you can prepare some for me too, hehe!” Ye Jie said, laughing.

“Okay, then Ye Bing, you guess, is mom carrying a boy or a girl?” Bai Susu asked, looking at the eldest child, Ye Bing.

“Mommy, I don’t know!” Ye Bing shook his head.

“What about you, Ye Qing, Ye Yu? What do you guess?” Bai Susu again looked at the second and third child and asked.

“Mommy, can’t guess!”

“Don’t know!”

Bai Susu looked again at Ye Jie, realizing the little one might really have a sense of something different.

“Susu, whether it’s a boy or a girl, I’ll love them all; I missed a lot before, not being there for you. This time, I will make up for my absences as a father,” Ye Fan said, his eyes filled with deep affection.

Yes, indeed!

This time, he would take very good care of Bai Susu.

“Mm,” Bai Susu nodded.

“Goodness, you two, not even sparing an old man like me; I’ve got a toothache from all this dog food. Let’s eat!” Bai Zhentian joked.

Seeing the two of them so in love put him at ease!

His most cherished was this granddaughter of his, and she was the one he worried about the most.

Seeing that Ye Fan loved her in this way and that Ye Fan’s parents treated her with such genuine kindness, as if she were their own, Bai Zhentian was very pleased.

Bai Susu had rarely felt this warmth in her early years, and now that she had, it was a kind of fulfillment.

“Susu, now that you’re pregnant, you must take good care of yourself, understood? I’ll help keep an eye on the company for you. Although I’m getting on in years, I can still handle these matters quite reliably,” Bai Zhentian said slowly.

“But, Grandpa, you…” Bai Susu hesitated, trailing off.

Grandpa had grown old, and his health wasn’t great.

This…

“Grandpa, I can handle it; I’ll have Zhuge help me keep an eye on things,” Ye Fan said.
