Xia Jinmian followed the little munchkin's family of three to the Luo City Hospital. Dou Manni was even more childlike than Ye Moliang, chattering non-stop en route.
"Little Mian, I'm so happy today. You have no idea… My husband and sons are all very taciturn; they don't like to talk. It's so good that you're here. I finally have someone to talk to me."
"Let's go to the hospital first. I'll bring you to see my Big Bub. Although he's usually fierce and scary-looking, he's a very good person. Don't be afraid of him. Just treat him as a little boss."
"Little boss?"
Ye Moliang was stunned. Eldest Brother was the richest man in the world. Why did Mommy call him a little boss?
"Yeah, isn't it so?"
Dou Manni turned her head and gave Bubba a look. She did not want to scare this girl off.
Ye Moliang was very smart. When he received his mommy's signal, he immediately understood and said with a smile,
"Sister, my Eldest Brother is a little boss. I will also become one in the future."
Xia Jinmian noticed that the mother and son were communicating in secret, but she did not expose them. She praised him with a smile.
"Bubba is awesome. Don't forget me when you strike it rich in the future, okay?"
"Of course not. Sister will be the lady boss in the future!"
"…"
"Ahem!" Dou Manni choked on her saliva and quickly changed the topic. "Little Mian, let me tell you about our family situation."
"The Ye family used to be a big clan, but my husband separated our family from the clan. Now, it's a nuclear family with six members comprising of us two—husband and wife—and four sons. Big Bub is a little boss, Second Bub is a minor celebrity, and Third Bub is an ordinary third-year high school student like you. As for Bubba, you know him already."
Xia Jinmian nodded. She had hid her acuity and assumed the persona of a pretty lass of humble birth "Yes, Aunt. I understand."
Dou Manni's affection for this lass grew with each minute. She adored such lasses.
Ye Moliang pouted at the side. Second Brother is an award-winning superstar who has bagged the Best Actor award, okay? Third Brother is the first lieutenant in the training camp. He's just back to school to prepare for the National Examination, okay?
His mother made them all seem like small fry!
However, in order not to scare her off, Ye Moliang nodded profusely. "Sister, you won't dislike our family, right? It's all boys in our family"
Xia Jinmian rubbed Ye Moliang's little head and smiled. "Of course not. It's better if there are more boys. Conflicts can be resolved with hands and not mouth. I like it."
Compared to women, Xia Jinmian indeed preferred to interact with men.
If there was a conflict, they could just fight.
Women were very delicate—just a wee touch and they would scream their head off.
The three of them chatted as they walked into the hospital. Ye Yelin was walking behind when he suddenly received a call.
It was unknown what the other party said, but he grunted and hung up with a frown.
Ye Yelin frowned and Dou Manni became nervous. She quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
When Ye Yelin looked at Dou Manni, his brows immediately relaxed. He held her hand and turned to walk out of the hospital.
"Let's go eat first. We don't have to wait for Big Bub. He's a little occupied. Let's go home after dinner."
"Yay, that's great. We don't have to be in the same car as Eldest Brother!" Ye Moliang raised his hands happily and cheered. He then whispered to Xia Jinmian, "I don't like Eldest Brother. He never smiles at me. He's aloof like an iceberg."
Xia Jinmian inexplicably thought of that dangerous f*cking a*shole. He seemed to be aloof like an iceberg too.
However, Xia Jinmian did not think too much about it. She only felt that the little munchkin was strange and cute. She rather liked playing with this little rug rat.
Xia Jinmian looked at the old couple holding hands in front of her and was filled with envy. She felt a sense of rarefied tranquility.
