Chapter 9 Dullness

Huo Yao was sitting near Yue Chen when his manager called him. She turned to look at him.

Yue Chen's expression turned cold; he also remembered Huo Yao telling him that someone had taken a picture of them. 

He thought he would deal with this later, but it seems like someone can't wait to throw dirt at him.

Yue Chen sensed she was looking at him; he turned to look at her. Huo Yao was looking at him languidly; he rubbed her head and replied to his manager,

"That was my sister with me. You don't have to worry about this. I will handle it."

His manager wanted to say something more, but he hung up before he could start.

He leaned on the sofa and lazily opened his social media accounts.

After typing something, he took a picture of three huddled beans, blurred their faces, and posted it.

He turned to look at Huo Yao; she was typing something lazily. She looked up and asked him with her eyes what he wanted.

He moved a little and placed his head on her shoulder, saying, "I posted pictures of your treasures without asking you."

Huo Yao just raised her brows, "Oh," and started typing again.

Yue Chen laughed at her 'don't care' attitude. "Aren't you afraid people will bully your sons?" he asked as he played with her short hair.

She just glanced at him sideways. "Will you let people bully them? Sit straight; don't you have bones?" she said with a cold tone, disgust hidden.

Yue Chen didn't care about her cold tone; his head remained on her shoulder. "My Tangtang knows me best. Don't worry; I blurred their faces."

"I am not worried. It's not that I can't protect them even if people recognize them," Huo Yao replied.

Yue Chen smiled. Yup, his little girl was the most powerful.

Ye Mansion's study.

Ye ZhengYu looked at the picture of two people hugging. His eyelids were dropping, so the look in his eyes couldn't be seen.

He lit a cigarette and started to smoke as he looked at the pictures. He paused at the three little boys' blurred picture. His mood was complicated.

He seemed to become a father of three boys. He didn't even think of the possibility of Huo Yao having a child with someone else.

 He started to smoke more heavily.

When his special assistant, Wu Yue, entered the study, the room was dark and shrouded in fog.

He coughed as he opened the windows.

Then he respectfully told his expressionless boss, "Miss Huo returned today. She has three babies with her. Mr. Yue went personally to pick them up. Later, they headed towards Yue Mansion."

He waited for a response but got nothing. He sighed.

His boss's personality was always cold and distant. But after Miss Huo left, he closed himself off even more. 

He didn't talk more than necessary; his expression never changed, not interested in anything as if nothing could amuse him.

He hoped Miss Huo could reunite with his boss. Miss Huo has three babies now. They looked about four years old. If he was not wrong, they were the young masters of the Ye family.

While he was adding two plus two in his mind, Ye ZhengYu finally spoke, "Don't disturb her now. Don't follow her closely; otherwise, she will find out. She is a person with sharp senses."

His voice was low, cold, and hoarse as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

Wu Yue nodded and bowed slightly before leaving.

Ye ZhengYu leaned in his seat and closed his eyes.

'Yaoyao, if I come in front of you, will you talk to me? You let him hug you; will you let me hug you too? I miss you too, Yaoyao. I miss you like hell, and I want to capture you to my side so that you will never leave me.'

He laughed at himself self-deprecatingly. At least one good thing had happened; they had a baby themselves.

He didn't know how he survived the past five years. He couldn't sleep, couldn't find her, couldn't apologize.

He could only comfort himself by saying that she would come back one day. He would be able to hold her and apologize to her.

Now she had come back, and he didn't know how to face her. What if she refused to meet him or talk with him?

He hated the way she let Yue Chen hug her; he was very jealous. He wanted to beat Yue Chen at the sight of hugging her; he wanted to hug her but couldn't.

She would not let him hug her, but she let the other man hug her.

He felt a dull pain in his heart. When he was drinking Yue Chen's vinegar, his grandfather barged into his study.

"Yaoyao brought back three baby boys with her; I heard they are triplets. Aren't they our Ye family's children?"
