Little Star nudged Ye Jingyu and whispered.

"Mommy is being affectionate, so give Mommy a kiss, or Mommy will cry."

Ye Jingyu turned to stare at Ye Ningwan. Although her icy face remained unchanged, a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

Ye Ningwan said immediately.

"You really will cry."

Ye Jingyu leaned over, hooked his arm around Ye Ningwan's neck, and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. He then gave her another quick kiss on the other cheek, whispering something in a very low voice.

"Mommy, I love you so much!"

Ye Ningwan spent half a day cuddling with the two boys in the children's room before she remembered why she had come.

Three people, one adult and two children, sat in a circle.

Ye Ningwan was the first to speak.

“It’s not a good solution for the two of you to continue like this. You can’t keep using the two of you as one person. Besides, Yu Yu and Xiao Xingxing have completely different personalities. It’s easy for their differences to become apparent over time.”

Little Star excitedly raised his little arms.

"Why don't we ask Daddy to adopt Ye Jingyu too, so our family can be together!"

Ye Jingyu glanced at Ye Ningwan's uncertain expression, quickly grabbed Xiaoxing's raised arm, and sighed.

"Haven't we already discussed this issue?"

He had already rejected me back then.

Little Star pouted and mumbled something.

"I just wanted to ask Mommy's opinion. Actually, I still really like Daddy."

Little Star leaned closer to Ye Ningwan and shook her arm as she spoke.

"Mommy, let Daddy be part of our family! Okay?"

Ye Ningwan held down the whining little star and asked Ye Jingyu with a hint of helplessness.

"Yuyu, do you like Pei Fengzhi as your daddy?"

A strange emotion rose in Ye Ningwan's heart; she felt a little nervous, and her heart was pounding much faster than usual.

She didn't know what she was hoping for—whether she hoped Ye Jingyu would agree more or disagree more.

Ye Jingyu lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room froze. Little Star stared at the two of them with wide eyes, looking very nervous.
