"Sir, Ma'am, that's fine with me. But you'll have to consult the Director about this."
Of course, Xia Jinmian had no objections. Since a wealthy family was willing to take care of her and let her live off them, she was very willing to be adopted.
"That's great!" Ye Moliang hugged Xia Jinmian's arm and smiled happily, revealing two dimples.
Ye Yelin and Dou Manni had mixed feelings. This was the first time they had seen Bubba smile so happily.
This was all thanks to this lass!
"Lass, what's your name? We'll go to the orphanage tomorrow morning to do the paperwork," Ye Yelin said.
"Xia Jinmian."
It was late at night when Xia Jinmian finally parted ways with that family. On the way back, it suddenly hit Xia Jinmian.
"F*ck! The little munchkin hasn't paid me yet!"
Xia Jinmian was a little suspicious. That little boy was very cunning. Could he have called his parents over to lie to her?
The little munchkin phonied up the 70,000 yuan remuneration that should have been paid to her!
However, seeing that she was still wearing the new set of clothes the little boy had bought her, she reluctantly waited to see if they would go to the orphanage tomorrow morning to go through with the paperwork.
Luo City Hospital.
Ye Moliang lay on Ye Mohan's bed and happily decorated his Pretty Sister's bedroom with the tablet so that Uncle Butler could prepare a beautiful princess bedroom for her.
Ye Mohan looked at him indifferently and asked in a low and aloof voice, "Did something good happen?"
Ye Moliang did not even raise his head. His little finger pointed at a piece of furniture and moved it around in the layout. He said coolly, "I have a sister! In the future, if Eldest Brother, Second Brother, and Third Brother don't play with me, Sister will play with me."
Dou Manni walked out of the small kitchen with a plate of fruits. She smiled and said, "Your Daddy and I are adopting a daughter. I told you about it previously. We met her this evening. She's sweet and nice. Bubba likes her, and so do I."
Ye Mohan frowned slightly and ignored his parents' obsession to have a daughter.
"Eldest Brother, look. Do you think the princess bedroom looks nice?"
Ye Mohan glanced at him coldly. "Childish."
"Hmph! Brother Iceberg, Sister definitely won't like you!"
Ye Moliang carried the tablet and ran to look for his mother angrily. They discussed the layout of the bedroom and sent it to Uncle Butler overnight to do up the room immediately.
Ye Moliang wanted to bring his Pretty Sister back to the villa tomorrow. He did not care for the hospitalized Brother Iceberg!

Xia Jinmian heard the loud singing of a birthday song before she even stepped foot into the orphanage.
After the birthday song ended, everyone urged Bai Yumo to make a wish.
Just then, someone suddenly realized that Xia Jinmian had returned and immediately shouted,
"Xia Jinmian is back! She knows that Bai Yumo is back here tonight to celebrate her birthday, but Xia Jinmian still came back so late. She is obviously slighting Bai Yumo."
"That's right. She came back empty-handed. She didn't even buy Bai Yumo a gift."
"She must be jealous of Bai Yumo! She's so mean!"
There was a long table—filled with fruits, snacks, and a large cake—in the courtyard.
Bai Yumo was sitting in the middle surrounded by adoration. She was dressed like a princess, and beside her was a princely man—An Lan.
Voices of derision and disgust erupted around Bai Yumo. A smug look flashed across Bai Yumo's eyes, but she looked at Xia Jinmian worriedly.
"Mianmian, you're back?"
However, Xia Jinmian was nonchalant. She crossed her arms—leaned against the door leisurely—and gave a delphic glance across the courtyard.
