Ye An could see that what Brother Ye gave him was a valuable gift, so he should reciprocate.

But he didn't have anything to show off, so he might as well treat everyone to a meal. There was a restaurant, and he could ask the waiter to arrange it.

Ye An smiled and said, "Brother Ye, I accepted your gift for nothing, so I should return the favor."

Mu Ci curled his lips: "How about you treat me to a meal?"

Ye An was overjoyed: "That's what I was thinking. What does Brother Ye like to eat?"

Mu Ci said: "Hot pot, red pot."

"Really? Me too!"

Ye An suddenly had a feeling of mutual understanding. No matter what he was thinking, the other party seemed to know it.

"Brother Ye, I know a restaurant that serves pretty good hotpot. Shall we go and have some?"

“I want to go too!”

Ye Xi came over with the buns, looking eager. He wanted to follow his two fathers.

Ye Xi was still young, and Mu Ci didn't want him to eat spicy food. Just as he was about to refuse, Ye An laughed, "Go ahead if you want. But you're still young and can't eat spicy food. You can only eat plain pot like your two younger brothers, okay?"

Ye Xi nodded repeatedly: "I will be with my brothers and take care of my brother!"

Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan looked at each other and said with a smile, "Hot pot!!"

Ye An rubbed their furry heads. He often takes the two little ones to eat hotpot, and they love the hotpot leaves very much.

Ye Xi felt a little jealous and stood beside Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan secretly. After Ye An had rubbed the two little ones, he saw there was a big one, which was smart and well-behaved, with eyes full of admiration.

Ye An couldn't help but rub Ye Xi's head, and Ye Xi's eyes suddenly became wet.

Ye An smiled: "Xier, how old are you this year?"

Ye Xi choked up and said, "Five and a half years old."

Ye An thought, he is still a child, and the neighbor's children of the same age are still playing wildly, but he knows to take care of his younger brother...

The child is sensible, most of the time he is forced by life. It is not easy for Brother Ye to follow him all the way.

Ye An felt sorry for him and said gently, "Don't be shy. Tell Uncle Xiao An what you want to eat."

Ye Xi couldn't hold back her tears. She hid behind Mu Ci, hugged Mu Ci's arm, wiped her eyes, and stared at Ye An for a while.

"Uncle Xiao An, can I call you dad like my brothers?"

Ye An: “…”

Although Ye An felt that it was not good to recognize a random person as a father, it did not cause any loss to him. If he could fulfill his child's wish, why not do it?

He secretly glanced at Mu Ci, who was stroking the child's back gently without showing any unhappiness.

Ye An mustered up his courage and said, "Sure."

"father!"

Ye Xi couldn't bear it any longer and threw herself into Ye An's arms crying. Ye An became flustered.

"Brother Ye, I'm sorry, I..."

Ye An always felt that he had snatched away the father-son relationship from others.

Mu Ci said: "My wife left when Xier was very young. Thank you for taking care of him."

Ye An thought to himself, it turns out that this child treats him as his mother. At least Brother Ye doesn't mind.

...I always feel like something is not right.

Ye An took advantage of the situation and hugged Ye Xi. Ye Xi lay in Ye An's arms. She was so beautiful that she even started to act like a spoiled child and held Ye An tightly, refusing to let go.

Ye An had just been called dad, and he also wanted to act like a father. He reached his hands under Ye Xi's arms and tried to lift the children up. He couldn't even hold Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, and holding Ye Xi was too much of a stretch. Ye Xi's eyes welled up with tears again, and she broke free obediently, sobbing, "I can't tire Daddy out."

Ye An didn't quite understand why the child burst into tears as soon as he showed a little kindness.

When Tuantuan and Yuanyuan saw that their daddy was hugging their brother, they immediately refused to do so and grabbed Ye An's legs from the left and right. They also wanted their daddy to hug them.

Ye An, who was surrounded by several children, said: "..."

Mu Ci walked forward and picked up the two little buns, one in each hand. His arm strength was amazing, so he could hold both of them steadily. Moreover, he was taller than Ye An, so Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were "tallened up" all of a sudden and temporarily forgot about "competing for favor". They hugged Mu Ci's neck one after another, calling out "Daddy" loudly.

Ye An: I always feel like my sons are in a mess.

Mu Ci said, "Xiao An, aren't you going to treat me to a meal?"

Ye An blushed and said, "Then please trouble Brother Ye to help me take care of Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan."

Mu Ci smiled: "I would have done it even if you didn't tell me."

Ye An held Ye Xi's hand, and Mu Ci went out with a pair of buns in his arms. When the neighbors saw him, they exclaimed, "Xiao An, is this your...your son? Do you have another son?"

Ye Xi and Ye An look very similar, it would be hard to say they are not father and son when they walk together.

But Ye An himself did not notice this. He tried to explain at first that the people in the town loved gossip and kept coming to ask questions. In the end, Ye An was too lazy to say anything and just laughed it off. Then I heard people whispering. It turned out that Xiao An had three children. He was holding Tuantuan and Yuanyuan next to him, as if he was her husband. Tuantuan and Yuanyuan even called him dad.

As they walked, Ye An's face turned red. Did these gossipers want him to clarify to everyone that the person walking next to him was not his husband?

Ye An glanced at Mu Ci from the corner of his eye. Brother Ye didn't seem angry, so why not just forget it.

Niu Er, who was helping Ye An set up the stall, saw Ye An from afar and ran over to say hello. But when he saw Mu Ci holding the child, his face suddenly changed and he walked away without even raising his head.

Ye An usually has a very close relationship with Niu Er, so he didn't take Niu Er's disrespect too seriously.

The group finally arrived at the restaurant. This restaurant is actually Ye An's business, but Ye An rarely shows up. Instead, he hired a tight-lipped manager and left everything to this manager. Therefore, the waiters under him don't know that Ye An is the boss and treat him as ordinary guests.

Ye An thought this was a good idea, so he asked the waiter to find a clean private room. Since he was hosting the hotpot, he should naturally ask Mu Ci to order the dishes first. After Mu Ci ordered, he would add a few more dishes. But after Mu Ci finished ordering, Ye An was completely stunned.

What Brother Ye ordered was exactly what he liked, even the tripe and tripe that were rarely eaten by ancient people were included.

Could it be that he is the worm in his stomach?

Ye An had never met someone who was so compatible with him before. He already had a good impression of him, and now he was even more excited.

Mu Ci smiled: "Xiao An, do you want anything else?"

Ye An shook his head, and Mu Ci went to order some food for the children. Because children cannot eat spicy food, the restaurant did not have double-flavored hotpot, so Ye An ordered a white hotpot for the children. Mu Ci ordered some more easily digestible food, as well as some porridge and snacks. Ye An felt that Mu Ci was very thoughtful and had nothing extra to add.

Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan and Ye Xi were already eating with hotpot leaves. The big and small buns were chatting happily while eating, and the children's chatter was very lively. Ye An and Mu Ci were sitting face to face, but they felt a little restrained.

Mu Ci cooked the dishes and put them into Ye An's bowl. Soon Ye An's bowl was piled high like a small mountain.

As the host, how could I let Brother Ye pick up the food?

Ye An said embarrassedly: "Brother Ye, don't be like this, I can do it myself."

Mu Ci was used to this. After being rejected by Ye An, he was stunned and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

For a moment, he almost forgot that Ye An had lost his memory.

Seeing that he suddenly stopped eating, Ye An looked a little depressed and felt inexplicably panicked.

"Brother Ye, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, really!"

He just felt that it was too embarrassing to let Brother Ye pick up food for him. Wouldn't that make people misunderstand that he was disgusted?

The more Ye An thought about it, the more he thought this was possible. He was so anxious that he stuffed all the food in the bowl into his mouth and handed the bowl over to show that he had no other ideas.

Mu Ci smiled and rubbed his head: "You do it yourself, I won't do it for you."

Ye An was rubbed on the head unexpectedly, and his ears were red as if they were about to bleed. He said shyly, "Brother Ye, don't be angry."

Mu Ci was stunned. This moment seemed to have returned to the past. Ye Xiaoan pulled his sleeve countless times and said, "Brother Ci, don't be angry."

"I will never be mad at you."

Mu Ci lowered his eyes. The hot steam from the hot pot made him want to cry for a moment.

Ye An was embarrassed: "Brother Ye, did I say something wrong again?"

"……No."

Mu Ci calmed down after a moment, smiled and said, "Xiao An, you are fine."

"Brother Ye." Ye An scratched his head: "We have only known each other for two days, why do you always praise me?"

Mu Ci thought of the past, his expression somewhat gloomy: "Not always. I feel like it's still missing."

Ye An: “…Ah?”

Mu Ci smiled and said, "Nothing. Maybe we just hit it off right away."

Ye An pursed his lips and said shyly: "I also feel that Brother Ye is very close."

Mu Ci looked into his eyes: "Can you tell me how you have been living these years?"

Ye An felt that his tone was a little strange, so he picked up a few interesting things about the children and told them, but Mu Ci said, "Let's not talk about them first, I want to listen to you."

Ye An laughed: "What can I do? I can do some small business and raise a child. But before coming to Yunzhou, I stayed in other places. Before that, when my wife gave birth, fortunately there was a traveling doctor named Jiang who helped, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

The "wife" raised her eyebrows sharply: "Didn't she have a difficult delivery..."

Ye An accidentally let the cat out of the bag and quickly said, "What I mean is, if it weren't for this doctor, I'm afraid the child would also..."

"You mean, the doctor who saved your...wife's surname is Jiang?"

Mu Ci seemed to have discovered something.

"Well, his name is Jiang Mufeng."

Ye An whispered Doctor Jiang's name. Doctor Jiang originally didn't intend to tell him, but he was afraid that Ye An wouldn't be able to find anyone to help him give birth again in the future. This doctor was also a kind-hearted person.

Jiang Mufeng?

Mu Ci's lips twitched. Isn't that uncle Jiang Jing? Jiang Jing learned all his medical skills from his uncle. After his niece became a master, Jiang Mufeng traveled around practicing medicine to help people, and he and Jiang Jing hadn't seen each other for several years. Unexpectedly, he would be the one who delivered Ye An's baby in the end. It must be said that it was really fate.

Jiang Jing and Mu Li got married two years ago. Mu Ci rushed back to his brother's wedding, stayed for half an hour, and then left in a hurry. He did not see the elusive Doctor Jiang at the wedding banquet. If he had met him, he might have learned about Ye An earlier...

Of course, this is a very convenient assumption. Even if they meet, Doctor Jiang may not reveal the patient's condition casually, and he probably doesn't even know that Ye An is the emperor.

There are always changes in life. Mu Ci will be satisfied if he can finally find Ye An.

Ye An said: "Brother Ye, what are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in it."

Mu Ci wanted to touch his cheek, but finally held back.

"I was thinking that giving birth is both hard and dangerous. You...your wife risked her life to give birth to two children. That's amazing."

Ye An's face flushed with excitement. Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were his children. Wasn't Brother Ye praising him by saying this?

Ye An said: "It's okay, I think this should be nature."

Ye An looked at the children beside him. He couldn't believe that he, who was so afraid of having children, had overcome that hurdle. He was very happy as long as his two children were healthy, happy and carefree.

Mu Ci said: "Can you tell me why you named them Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan?"

Ye An gently stroked the chopsticks: "I...I can't really explain it. After the child was born, these two nicknames popped into my mind."

"Then what about Heng and Ke?"

Ye An said: "I originally thought that the boy would be named Heng and the girl would be named Lian, but I didn't expect that they were a pair of boys, so I gave them another name, Ke."

Mu Ci's heart trembled. This was the name they gave to the child together. Even though Ye Xiaoan had lost his memory, he still remembered it subconsciously.

He resisted the urge to ask, why is your last name Mu?

Ye An thought of something and slapped his head cleverly: "I suddenly realized that if we don't look at the last names, Xier, Henger and Keer seem like brothers, hahahahaha!"

Mu Ci thought to himself that they were brothers.

When they mentioned the children, they both looked towards the next table at the same time.

Ye Xi picked up the wine glass like an adult and took a big sip bravely.

“Brother is awesome!”

The round little sweetheart immediately clapped her hands in admiration.

Ye Xi smiled proudly. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must appear wise and brave in front of his younger brothers!

Tuantuan looked at his brother's wine glass with some greed, stretched out his tender little paw, and secretly dipped some of the liquid to taste it.

After tasting it, Tuantuan's eyes widened, and he hugged his brother's wine glass, drinking it non-stop, almost burying his face in it.

Ye An, Mu Ci: "..."

Ye An was so scared that he wanted to stand up, but Mu Ci reacted quickly and said, "Don't worry, it's fruit juice, they can drink it."

Ye An breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Ci smiled and tapped Ye Xi's head: "Xi'er, don't tease your brother."

"I didn't!" Ye Xi complained with a red face: "Dad, you only care about your brother and don't care about me anymore!"

Mu Ci coughed lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, Daddy is in pain."

Ye An covered his face silently and said, "Brother Ye, you are so skilled at calling me daddy. Are you including the two buns in this?"

Tuantuan drank a whole glass of "wine", burped a few times, muttered something, turned around on the spot, then lay down and closed his eyes.

After several contacts, Mu Ci had a better understanding of the personalities of the kids and could guess who was who. Worried that Tuantuan might be feeling unwell, he stepped forward and touched his forehead, and found that everything was normal.

"What's wrong with him?" Mu Ci asked Ye An.

Ye An, his biological father, saw through it immediately. Tuan Tuan, this boy who loves to act, must have gotten drunk from drinking too much!

"No, nothing. Last time, Brother Niu got drunk and Tuan Tuan was watching from the side. I guess he is imitating him."

Second Brother Niu? ?

Mu Ci heard a very intimate name and frowned and thought for a while. This Niu Er seemed to have helped Ye An set up the stall, held his two cubs, and even lived next door for several years.

Ye An has a good relationship with this person, otherwise how could he call him brother?

Mu Ci suddenly felt very jealous.
