The siblings in the Duke's mansion are quite different. The older sister has a strong personality; even at only three years old, she is a child with her own opinions and wants to make all the decisions herself.

The younger brother has a very gentle personality. He does whatever his sister asks him to do and is very obedient. He follows his sister around like a little tail. Moreover, he is very stable and will not cry even if his sister bullies him.

Two years have passed, and the older siblings still dislike Xie Chang'an, their older brother. Although they no longer cry when they see him, they would never smile at him.

But it's different when she's with Ye Jingchen. Even her strong and domineering older sister can be all sweet and affectionate when she's with Ye Jingchen, calling out, "Brother, hug me!"

Ye Jingchen now treats the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion as naturally as his own home. The three of them did not disturb the elders in the mansion, but went directly to the courtyard of the two little ones.

However, their timing was unfortunate, as the Duchess, the Second Young Mistress, and the Third Young Mistress happened to be in the courtyard.

"Grandmother, Second Aunt, Third Aunt." Ye Jingchen greeted them naturally and warmly. Xie Chang'an, on the other hand, lagged behind him, and her voice and tone were much more indifferent. If an uninformed person saw this, they would think that Ye Jingchen was their biological grandson and nephew.

Hearing the familiar voice, Changzhao and Changze, who were playing in the yard, looked over and spotted Ye Jingchen.

"Brother—" Chang Zhao ran over with her short legs and hugged Ye Jingchen's leg.

Then, Changze also hugged Ye Jingchen's other leg.

Ye Jingchen smiled and patted the heads of the two little ones one by one.

When Chenxi saw the women in the mansion at the courtyard gate, he instinctively wanted to hide, but this time Xie Chang'an was faster than Ye Jingchen. He grabbed Chenxi's shoulder and forcibly dragged him into the courtyard.

"And this is—" The Third Young Madam paused for a moment when she saw Xie Chang'an's hand on Chenxi's shoulder before asking.

The sun must have risen in the west! Their nephew has actually made friends?

"His name is Chenxi, and he's a friend of mine and Chang'an's," Ye Jingchen said with a smile.

Seeing that they had noticed Chenxi, Xie Chang'an quickly withdrew his hand, put it behind his back, and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe the area where it had touched Chenxi's shoulder several times when no one could see.

Chenxi lost her chance to hide and could only stiffly face the women of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

"Your Highness has come to see Changzhao and Changze?" the second young mistress asked.

"We'd like to take the two little ones out to play, is that alright?" Ye Jingchen asked.

"Let's go out and play!" Chang Zhao said excitedly.

"Of course, it's good that Your Highness took those two little devils away. Now we can finally have some peace and quiet," the second young mistress said with a smile.

"Changze, how about letting this older brother hold you?" Ye Jingchen asked, pointing at Chenxi.

Following the direction, Changze glanced at Chenxi, then shyly shrank back.

“I want an older brother,” Nagasawa said.

Chenxi was overjoyed and was feeling quite happy when she heard Changzhao say, "No! Brother wants to hold me!"

Changze always listened to his sister, and even if he was unhappy, he didn't say anything.

Ye Jingchen then picked up Changze and handed him to Chenxi.

Chenxi's entire body screamed resistance; he even took a step back. But they were already inside the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, with the child's elders watching from the sidelines. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Jingchen insisted on handing the child over to him. The child stared at him with innocent eyes. Chenxi hesitated for a long time before carefully reaching out and taking the child.

He didn't know how to hold a child, but he had seen Ye Jingchen hold children countless times, so he imitated Ye Jingchen and held Xie Changze loosely in his arms.

Xie Changze seemed a little uneasy after being held by Chenxi, but he didn't cry.

Ye Jingchen looked very satisfied and clapped his hands, saying, "That's more like it! You'll have your own children in the future, so wouldn't it be good to practice how to hold a baby beforehand? It's a rare opportunity; some people want to experience it but can't!"

The dawn remained silent.

In fact, all his attention is now focused on the child he is holding in his arms. He doesn't dare to use too much force, but he also doesn't dare not use enough force, because he is afraid that the child will be uncomfortable being held, and he is also afraid that the child will fall.

Ye Jingchen skillfully picked up Chang Zhao and said, "Let's go out and play."

Chenxi carried Xie Changze and followed Ye Jingchen out of the mansion, looking as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

Having finally escaped the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, with no one watching him, Chenxi immediately put the child down.

Xie Changze was a little dazed after being put on the ground.

“You’re your own brother, come and hold him!” Chenxi said to Xie Chang’an.

"I can't, he doesn't like me, he won't let me hug him," Xie Chang'an said, shrugging.

“I don’t believe it,” Chenxi denied.

This child is clearly very well-behaved; he didn't cry when a stranger held him. How could he possibly not let Xie Chang'an hold him?

Xie Chang'an didn't say anything more, but moved closer to Xie Changze, bent down and opened his arms to him, making a gesture as if to hug him.

Xie Changze immediately hid behind Chenxi.

Dawn: ......

He looked at Xie Chang'an with an indescribable expression.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xie Chang'an said lightly, straightened up and walked back to Ye Jingchen's side.

Chenxi had no choice but to pick Xie Changze up again.

Children generally like to play with other children and enjoy crowded, lively places, and there just happens to be such places in the Imperial City.

Since Ye Jingshu took over the orphanage, in addition to providing sufficient funds and assigning dedicated personnel to manage it, she has also been very attentive to the place, making it much better than when the emperor had it managed by someone else.

At Ye Jingchen's suggestion, a children's playground was built in the Ciyoutang, with many recreational facilities such as swings, slides, and rocking horses.

Ye Jingchen took Changzhao and Changze to the playground in the orphanage, where there were many children of similar age to Changzhao and Changze playing together.

There was a small swing in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, which Ye Jingchen had someone build for them, and the two little ones liked it very much.

However, there are many places in the amusement park that are even more fun than swings, such as tall and long slides, maze corridors, and tall moving carousels, etc.

Once they arrived at the amusement park, Nagaaki and Nagasawa immediately started having a blast.

Chenxi was finally free. Looking at the lively scene before him, he was somewhat dazed.

He spent some time here when he was a child, but only for a short period, so he doesn't have a strong impression of the place.

All he remembered was that he would no longer go hungry or cold after coming here, but that was all. Unlike the children now, who have enough to eat, warm clothes, and a place specifically for them to play.

Chenxi knew in her heart that all these changes were because of Ye Jingshu and Ye Jingchen.

Although Ye Jingshu contributed money and effort, it was Ye Jingchen who gave her advice.

He always had a lot of strange and wonderful ideas in his mind, which probably all came from another world in his dreams that he often mentioned to Xie Chang'an.

However, sometimes he would let something slip.
