Huo Yao knew about Ye ZhengYu's relentless search for her all those years. After all, he had almost exhausted all his resources to find her. Moreover, Yue Chen had also told her about this matter.
But she didn't care about it. She had previously felt gratitude towards him, but she didn't know how to feel other emotions for people, except for her children and Yue Chen.
So, when she called Ye ZhengYu, she felt nothing.
...
Ye ZhengYu sat like a statue without moving or saying anything.
Everyone present could see that he was greatly shocked or deeply affected by something.
When they were thinking about calling him, they heard their boss's trembling voice, "Yaoyao."
Ye ZhengYu's eyes stung when he heard her voice. How many days and nights had he longed to hear that voice? Now, finally, he heard it.
He quickly strode out of the conference room with his phone.
"How are you, Yaoyao?" he asked eagerly.
He heard the girl's emotionless voice again, "I am fine. Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Ye. You know I came back with three baby boys. Their father is you. If you have any doubt, you can do a paternity test."
Huo Yao paused, perhaps waiting for his response, but Ye ZhengYu remained silent, so she started talking again.
"If possible, I want to make an appointment with you and your family to meet them. After all, you and your family members are also their family. I hope you will consider this matter."
Ye ZhengYu gripped his phone tightly after hearing her words. She sounded so polite as if she were talking to a stranger.
He closed his eyes in pain, "I do not doubt their identity, so there's no need for any paternity test. Do you have time today? Let's meet today."
On the other hand, Huo Yao paused for a moment, "Okay, I will send them to the Old Ye mansion in the afternoon. Then I will hang up."
Naturally, Ye ZhengYu had no problem with this, "See you later, Yaoyao." But before he could say this, she hung up.
Ye ZhengYu leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at his phone. He regretted it. He regretted it thousands of times over the past five years for not confessing his feelings for her before she left.
But he wouldn't let this chance slip away. He regretted it for five years.
Since she had chosen to give birth to his babies, she had to choose him too. He wanted to have more children with her. He wanted to build a family with her.
Ye ZhengYu's eyes took on a profound, dark look as he thought, 'Huo Yao, I had planned to pursue you slowly after you returned. But you made a mistake by giving birth to my child. You showed me hope and changed my plans, so you have to bear the consequences now.'
He smiled with a hint of determination. Huo Yao didn't know that someone was scheming about her.
...
Huo Yao hung up the phone, and when she looked up, she was caught off guard by four pairs of eyes. They looked at her without blinking.
The three little ones have curious expressions, while the older one has a darker look.
Huo Yao ignored the older one and squatted down to be at eye level with the younger ones. "Mommy made an appointment for this afternoon. Is that okay?"
They nodded enthusiastically and replied, "Okay."
"Mommy, do we need to prepare a gift for them?" Yuanyuan asked curiously.
Before Huo Yao could answer, Yue Chen's voice chimed in, "What gift? They should prepare a gift for my nephews. It's their blessing to have you guys in their family."
Yuanyuan blinked and turned to look at his uncle. Why did Uncle suddenly become angry?
Among the three brothers, Yuanyuan had little understanding of human emotions. He had a typical high IQ but low EQ.
Yangyang and Ranran had opposite personalities – one always wore a cold expression while the other appeared sunny but distant.
Yuanyuan had a gentle personality but was the hardest to get close to. Sometimes, Huo Yao wondered where this little guy got his personality from.
Ranran looked at his second brother's confused expression and started to smile. "Second brother is a dummy."
Yangyang snorted in agreement. Yuanyuan became even more confused.
Yue Chen smiled as he saw this, picked up Yuanyuan, and placed him on his shoulder. "Yangyang, Ranran, don't always bully your second brother."
Ranran stretched out his tiny hands to his uncle and pouted cutely. "I also want to sit on your shoulder, uncle."
Yue Chen placed him on his other shoulder and looked at Yangyang with a troubled expression. "Sorry, Yangyang, Uncle only has two shoulders."
Yangyang turned to sit in his mother's lap and muttered, "Childish."
Yue Chen heard it and laughed heartily.
