Ye Qing glanced at the silent Xi Yue, then took the two children's hands and continued walking out.
The two children didn't understand the undercurrents between the adults, but during the time they were away from their mother, they had the most direct feeling about who treated them well. Ye Yixin and Ye Yiran tugged at Ye Qing from both sides.
Sensing the child's subtle movements, Ye Qing squatted down, looked at the child, and asked, "What's wrong?"
“Dad promised to take us to the amusement park,” Ye Yixin said.
Ye Yiran added, "They say it's the biggest newly built amusement park in the south of the city, but we haven't been there yet."
"Okay, Mom will tell Liang Papa when we get back."
Hearing what the children said, Ye Qing was willing for them to go play. After all, they were at the age where they loved to play. Moreover, when they were abroad, Ye Qing was busy and didn't have many opportunities to take them out to play. As a result, she didn't carefully distinguish who the children meant by "father." Ye Qing instinctively assumed it was Liang Youjie.
After speaking with the child, Ye Qing stood up, but halfway up, she heard Ye Yixin's aggrieved voice: "It's not Liang Papa anymore."
Although she hadn't seen the children, Ye Qing could imagine Xin Xin pouting and looking aggrieved. She was also curious about when the two children had become so close to Xi Quan, calling him "Dad."
Ye Qing was stunned, remaining in a half-standing, half-squatting position. After a while, she slowly accepted the fact that the children had accepted Xi Quan, and then slowly stood up straight, looking down at the children who were looking up at her.
Standing behind Ye Qing, Su Zhe seized the opportunity to say, "Next time, next time your dad will take you to the amusement park."
The two children were obedient, but they were still children after all. They had high hopes for the trip, and Xi Quan had promised them. Now that they suddenly couldn't go, they were on the verge of tears.
Ye Yixin burst into tears. Although Ye Qing had never told Ye Yiran, who was a boy, to be strong and not to cry, he was the same age as Ye Yixin, or even a few minutes younger, but he had the feel of an older brother and rarely cried.
Although he felt a little wronged, he didn't cry. Instead, he said to Ye Yixin, "Why are you crying?"
"Didn't you want to go too?" Ye Yixin asked Ye Yiran with a sob in her voice.
Ye Qing felt a little helpless. Not wanting to disappoint her children, she said, "Mom will take you."
"No, you wouldn't dare do anything!" Ye Yiran had just told her sister not to cry, but in the blink of an eye she started to undermine her mother: "Before we came back, you took us to the amusement park, and you wouldn't dare do anything. You even complained that you got dizzy on the carousel."
The most damaging criticism comes from one's own son.
Previously, Ye Qing always felt that there was nothing she was afraid of, but after experiencing more and seeing more, Ye Qing realized that she actually had many fears. Perhaps "fears" is not quite accurate; it should be said that there were things that she was physically unable to bear.
For example, the fact that spinning around too fast can make you dizzy.
So Ye Qing took the kids to the amusement park purely for sightseeing and to lose weight by walking. Even the rides for children made them dizzy, so of course the two kids didn't want to go with Ye Qing.
Seeing the child's aggrieved yet eager expression, Ye Qing said, "Even if we don't live here, he can still take you to the amusement park."
“Then we’ll have to wait for Dad. How about we let Dad live with us?” Ye Yixin’s tears seemed to be controlled by a tap. Once the valve was closed, the tears stopped instantly, and she quickly offered Ye Qing another solution.
Ye Qing's lips twitched, clearly unwilling, but she couldn't show her great dissatisfaction with Xi Quan in front of the child, so she smiled awkwardly and thought about how to explain it to the child so that the child could understand.
Before he could even speak, the villa door opened again, and this time Xi Quan returned.
Upon seeing Xi Quan, Ye Yixin, who had just been tightly holding Ye Qing's hand and waiting for her response, instantly let go of Ye Qing's hand, ran to Xi Quan, and cheerfully called out, "Daddy, Daddy, Mommy agrees to let you live with us!"
Ye Qing was surprised again when Ye Yixin and Xi Quan became so close. After hearing Ye Yixin's words, Ye Qing clicked his tongue, wondering when he had ever said such a thing.
Xi Quan hugged Ye Yixin, and the two expressed their deep and passionate father-daughter affection. Only then did Xi Quan cautiously glance at Ye Qing, and when he looked away, he saw Ye Yixin winking at him.
Even if Ye Yixin didn't blink, Xi Quan knew that Ye Qing would never say such a thing.
But knowing this, Xi Quan wouldn't expose his daughter. Otherwise, wouldn't the phone call he made after Ye Qing left his office have been for nothing?
Ye Yiran was disdainful of Ye Yixin's great enthusiasm for Xi Quan, but she didn't expose Ye Yixin under Ye Qing's surprised gaze.
Seeing that no one was helping him, Ye Qing explained, "I didn't say anything."
Xi Quan knew, of course, that Ye Qing hadn't said anything. But when he heard Ye Qing say that, he remained calm and raised an eyebrow at her: "I thought we had already agreed on this when we were in my office."
"What did we agree on? Who agreed with you?" Ye Qing subconsciously retorted to Xi Quan's words.
However, Xi Quan's words were ambiguous. Ye Yiran slyly rolled her eyes and asked Ye Qing, "Mom, you've already agreed to him?"
Ye Qing certainly didn't agree to anything Xi Quan said, but faced with her son's persistent questioning, Ye Qing couldn't tell the truth to her child, so she awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth.
But Xi Yue spoke up at this moment: "Xi Quan, I'm leaving first. Don't forget what I told you before, tomorrow is the weekend, you have to go on a blind date. Grandma said if you don't go this time, she'll break your legs."
Xi Yue's words were true, but saying them at this time, in front of Ye Qing, seemed very deliberate.
Although Ye Qing had no intention of getting involved with Xi Quan and had given him the divorce agreement, the fact that Xi Quan went on a blind date before they were even divorced made Ye Qing think that everything she had said in Xi Quan's office before was just a case of "the magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps."
Since Xi Quan has already gone on a blind date, why should he care about me? Ye Qing sneered: "Since you're so busy, we won't bother you, lest our presence cause your blind date to misunderstand."
Xi Yue brought up Xi Quan's blind date at this time with good intentions. Seeing that Ye Qing was unhappy, she also thought she had made the right decision, because Ye Qing was jealous.
Just as she was about to take credit from Xi Quan, she saw that Xi Quan looked very embarrassed and didn't praise her at all. Xi Yue was very surprised, but she didn't understand what she had said wrong.
Looking at Xi Yue and Xi Quan, Ye Qing thought the siblings were really good at putting on an act. But whatever their intentions were, Ye Qing didn't want to have anything to do with Xi Quan anymore. She squatted down, ready to have a good talk with the two children and take them away. But before she could speak, Xi Quan's mobile phone rang. After answering it, his face grew increasingly grim. He hung up the phone, glanced at Su Zhe, and left. Su Zhe had a moment of panic and quickly chased after Xi Quan.
