Ye Bingtong immediately squeezed out a crystal-clear tear, "Big Brother, I have been playing the piano for too long, and my hands are a bit sore."
Ye Bolin truly felt distressed, "Why did you play for so long?"
Ye Bingtong showed an expression of wanting to say more but hesitating.
As soon as Ye Bolin saw that, he naturally had to inquire further.
It was then that she spoke with reluctance, "Xiaoxiao, she... sigh..."
It seemed as if she had said nothing and yet had said everything!
Ye Bolin's face changed slightly, "Is she causing you trouble again? Bingtong, don't be afraid. First thing in the morning, I will come back. To me, you are my sister, and I will never let her bully you."
"Big Brother, Xiaoxiao is really your biological sister..." Ye Bingtong said softly and weakly.
Ye Bolin scoffed coldly, "I do not have such a shameful sister. You rest well, and wait for me to come back home."
After hanging up the video call, Ye Bingtong then revealed a smug smile.
What if Ye Xiao is the Ye Family's biological daughter?
She will never surpass my status in the Ye Family.
Never!
Ye Xiao slept a beautiful sleep and when she came downstairs for breakfast the next morning, she discovered that there was one more person at the dining table.
This man, wearing glasses and looking extremely unapproachable, was carefully feeding porridge to Ye Bingtong, looking every bit the doting brother.
Ye Bingtong had been eating just fine, but when she saw Ye Xiao coming downstairs, she suddenly scooted back and said with a face full of terror, "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to fight with you for Big Brother. It's just that my hand is inconvenienced, so he was feeding me."
Ye Bolin glanced up at Ye Xiao, a flash of disgust crossing his eyes, "Country bumpkins will always be just that. Is this how you usually pick on Bingtong?"
Ye Xiao wasn't angry, in fact, there was even a hint of sympathy in her gaze upon Ye Bolin.
[Big Brother seems quite indifferent. It always feels like he's missing something. On closer inspection, it should be a green hat, right?]
What situation!
As a domineering CEO with a cold demeanor, Ye Bolin never believed in anything beyond science in this world.
His first reaction!
Someone was messing around!
Ye Bolin was uncertain and disturbed, while Ye Xiao couldn't help but continue to ridicule.
[Since he's the supposed big brother from the legend, how does the story go? Three... two... one... let my phone ring!]
What phone, what ringing!
What is this sound, exactly!
As Ye Bolin was pondering in confusion, suddenly, his phone began to ring.
[Hahaha, as expected, there's a call. Go on, answer it. Soon, you'll receive the delightful news of becoming a father.]
Her big brother, in another book, was a secondary male character. That book follows the trope where the delicate wife runs away while pregnant and seeks a good-hearted man as a fallback, and her poor big brother was the chosen one.
Eventually, when the male and female leads meet again, they'll start their story of mutual torment, alternating between torturing each other and resolving past misunderstandings. Then, the male lead would view the brother, who dared to marry the female lead, as a thorn in his side! And his ending would be no better than that of secondary female characters like her!
Thinking of this, Ye Xiao suddenly felt that the Ye Family was indeed powerful!
As a family of secondary characters, they had managed to hold their own amidst a bunch of main leads. This strength was truly formidable!
Ye Xiao continued to criticize while sounding utterly sincere, "Big Brother, your phone is ringing. Answer it quickly."
If Ye Bolin didn't answer the phone, how could she enjoy watching the drama unfold!
This sound...
Ye Bolin's expression changed instantly.
This was the strange voice that had been appearing in his mind!
What he had just heard, could it really be the inner voice of this nominal sister?
Ye Bolin couldn't help but cast a cautious glance at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao returned an innocent look.
"Big brother, it's Sister Yue's phone call," Ye Bingtong said after glancing at the phone screen, unable to help herself.
A call from Yueyue?
Ye Bolin paused for a moment.
He suddenly remembered the telepathic insight he'd just heard.
"Soon, you're about to receive the great news of becoming a dad."
Ye Bolin shivered all over, and instinctively shook his head, dismissing it all as nonsense; how could he believe such a thing!
But he couldn't keep Yueyue waiting for long.
Ye Bolin hurriedly answered the call.
From the other end, Chen Yueyue's gentle voice came through, "Berlin, I'm pregnant. You're going to be a father."
Ye Bolin: "?????"
This should have been fantastic news. If it had come before he heard the telepathic insight, he would have been ecstatic!
But now...
"How about it, how about it? Has our big brother become a dad yet? Why isn't he reacting? That's not right, his hair is practically turning green that I can see."
The telepathic insight sounded once more, and Ye Bolin's face darkened.
"Berlin, what's wrong?" On the other end, Chen Yueyue's voice became tense, "Aren't you happy?"
"No, I'm very happy." Years of affection made those words slip out from Ye Bolin's mouth.
"Haha, of course, you're very happy. After all, it's a painless way to have a son. But let's go back to that night at the hotel; the heroine and the protagonist were turning the world upside-down right next to our big brother, and he really didn't hear a thing? And the next day, did he foolishly think he had slept with the heroine and needed to take responsibility for her? Tsk tsk tsk. Such a heavy sleeper; that's really not a good habit!"
Ye Bolin's body stiffened once again.
He couldn't help but glare fiercely at Ye Xiao, wanting to reprimand her, to say that Yueyue was not that kind of person at all!
But this Ye Xiao was too weird!
She had just come home, and this was the first time they met; it was impossible for her to have had any interaction with Yueyue! Why would she have such a bizarre telepathic insight?
And about... that night...
Ye Bolin couldn't help but recall it.
That night, he got drunk and it was Yueyue who took care of him, taking him to the hotel.
When he woke up the next day, he saw Yueyue's pale face and the traces on the bed, naturally thinking that it was his doing.
He and Chen Yueyue had grown up together as childhood sweethearts, and he had always harbored affection for her.
Therefore, he immediately expressed his willingness to take responsibility for Yueyue.
At that time, Yueyue didn't look so good, but she also didn't deny it!
Afterward, in the presence of both their parents, they became engaged, and even the wedding was swiftly scheduled.
Now that Yueyue was pregnant, if he hadn't heard these telepathic insights, he wouldn't know just how happy he could be!
But now!
He just couldn't seem to feel happy!
With instinct, Ye Bolin numbly made conversation with Chen Yueyue, and under her soft cooing, they officially moved up their wedding date to the near future.
After hanging up the phone.
Ye Bingtong looked somewhat surprised, "Brother, from your phone call's tone, does Sister Yue have a baby? Does that mean you'll be getting married soon?"
"Yes, yes, yes, there's a baby now, so we must hurry. After all, Chen Yueyue is the goddess you've adored for many years," Xiaoxiao also chimed in, her face filled with gossip.
Ye Bolin looked at her expressionlessly.
This woman was still putting on an act! In his mind, however, this woman had an entirely different tone.
"If it's a green hat, then so be it. To make life bearable, everyone has to wear a bit of green on their head, right? Isn't everyone's goddess someone else's bootlicker? That's life! Ah, I'm so awesome, thinking such philosophical stuff. Later, I definitely need to eat more, nourish my brain a bit."
