In China, City B is surrounded by severe cold. It snowed heavily a few days ago and all roads are blocked.
Today, the sun was shining brightly, and a little child, dressed warmly, was playing in front of the villa.
At this time, he was making a small snowman.
The room was very warm. The nanny was busy in the kitchen, and a woman was sitting on the sofa looking through a design album. She was wearing a shawl and a strand of hair fell from her temples, making her pretty face look very soft.
Suddenly, the cell phone rang.
Ye Ruohuan took it and saw that it was Liang Ke calling.
"Hello?" Ye Ruohuan put the album in her hand aside and tied up the loose hair around her ears.
Liang Ke's gentle voice sounded on the other end of the phone: "Ruohuan, are you home?"
"Yeah, I'm resting at home." Ever since that incident happened to Ye Ruohuan, Fu Yijian had restricted her at home and did not allow her to go out.
"Is Xiao Shuo here?" Liang Ke knew about Ye Ruhuan's situation, so he changed the subject.
Ye Ruohuan glanced at the little boy who was having fun outside the house. She smiled and said, "He's making a snowman."
Liang Ke also smiled. Suddenly, a little girl appeared beside her, tugged at her clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Mom, is it Brother Xiao Shuo?"
Jiang Yixin blinked her beautiful big eyes, looking very cute, and begged, "I want to talk to him."
Liang Ke glanced at her and said to Ye Ruohuan helplessly: "I have something to say to Xiao Shuo."
Ye Ruohuan thought for a moment, and then remembered Jiang Yixin's cute look, so she started to smile and said to Liang Ke, "I'll go call Xiao Shuo."
Ye Ruohuan walked to the French window, turned the door valve, and shouted to the little boy who was having fun by himself outside: "Xiao Shuo, someone is looking for you."
After finally building a small snowman, Ye Shuo was interrupted by Ye Ruhuan's noise and destroyed the snowman's territory.
He frowned, turned around, and looked at Ye Ruohuan with a resentful face. Remembering what Fu Yijian taught him, he sighed, ran back into the house, and lectured Ye Ruohuan like a little adult: "Don't open the door, it's cold outside." Then Ye Shuo closed the floor-to-ceiling window very gentlemanly.
Ye Ruohuan felt warm in her heart, handed the phone to him, and whispered to him: "Sister Yixin has something to tell you."
Ye Shuo's originally tense face immediately changed when he heard Jiang Yixin's name. He took the phone in a pretentious manner and walked to the side of the sofa to answer it.
"Hello?" Ye Shuo greeted into the phone.
"Brother Xiaoshuo?" Jiang Yixin pressed her little face against the phone. When she heard Ye Shuo's voice, she shouted happily and said slowly, "Brother Xiaoshuo, Christmas is coming soon. Do you want to come out and play with us? There are a lot of fun things in the mall!"
As Jiang Yixin spoke, she danced with stars in her eyes.
Liang Ke couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
After hearing Jiang Yixin's words, Ye Shuo felt itchy and wanted to go too, but Fu Yijian had told him to stay at home and take good care of Ye Ruohuan.
So, Ye Shuo looked at Ye Ruohuan embarrassedly. The latter was confused. She didn't know what Jiang Yixin said to Ye Shuo that made him embarrassed?
Ye Ruohuan only saw Ye Shuo hesitantly saying to the little girl on the other end of the phone: "I'm sorry... I can't go."
Jiang Yixin's little face fell instantly, she wrinkled her nose, and almost cried.
When Liang Ke saw Jiang Yixin's appearance, he was shocked. Before he could react, Jiang Yixin was already crying loudly, looking very sad.
"What's wrong?" the two adults asked at the same time.
Liang Ke picked up Jiang Yixin and said comfortingly, "Talk to mom, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yixin's crying was very loud and could be heard through the phone. Ye Shuo suddenly panicked and looked at Ye Ruhuan for help.
Ye Ruohuan naturally also heard Jiang Yixin's crying, and looked at Ye Shuo in confusion.
From Jiang Yixin's intermittent crying, Liang Ke also understood why she was crying.
It turned out that Ye Shuo rejected her invitation. Liang Ke shook her head helplessly, touched her head, and said gently: "Yixin, Brother Xiao Shuo has his difficulties, you have to understand."
But how do you explain to a five-year-old what "consideration" means?
Jiang Yixin didn't understand what Liang Ke said and continued crying.
After Ye Ruohuan learned the whole story from Ye Shuo, she called Liang Ke. When they heard Jiang Yixin crying, both of them were heartbroken.
Ye Ruohuan apologized to Liang Ke with a guilty look on her face: "I'm sorry, it's because of me that Xiao Shuo rejected Yi Xin."
Liang Ke could naturally understand Ye Ruohuan's difficulties. While comforting Jiang Yixin, he said, "It's nothing. They are just children playing around. Don't take it to heart."
Ye Ruohuan looked at Ye Shuo, who was distressed because he had made Jiang Yixin sad, and then said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Can I talk to Yixin for a few words?"
Liang Ke looked down at Jiang Yixin, put the phone to her ear, and said to her, "Don't cry, Aunt Ruohuan has something to tell you."
Jiang Yixin stopped crying obediently and politely called out to the woman on the other end of the phone, "Aunt Ruohuan..."
When Ye Ruohuan heard such a soft and tender voice, her heart softened, her brows softened, and she said to Jiang Yixin: "Yixin, it's all Auntie's fault. Xiao Shuo rejected you because he wanted to stay at home to take care of Auntie."
Jiang Yixin sobbed softly while listening to Ye Ruohuan's explanation.
Ye Ruohuan continued, "The weather is so nice today, Yixin, would you like to go out and play with Auntie and Xiaoshuo? Auntie wants to make it up to you."
When Ye Shuo, who was standing aside and quietly observing Ye Ruohuan making a phone call, heard these words, he instantly reacted and looked at Ye Ruohuan.
Jiang Yixin was stunned and didn't react. Liang Ke reminded her: "Auntie Ruohuan is asking you a question? Do you want to play with them?"
Jiang Yixin came to her senses and immediately burst into laughter: "Okay!"
After hearing Jiang Yixin's agreement, Ye Ruohuan said to her, "Give the phone to your mother, Auntie will tell her something."
The phone was handed back to Liang Ke, who said to Ye Ruohuan embarrassedly, "Sorry, Yixin was a little willful."
Ye Ruohuan didn't forget it. She smiled and said, "I also want to go out for a walk. Thanks to Yixin for giving me this opportunity."
The two women agreed on a time and place over the phone and then hung up.
After Ye Ruohuan hung up the phone, Ye Shuo secretly looked at her expression, but couldn't say the words.
Ye Ruohuan noticed it and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Shuo said worriedly: "Xiao Ye, are you really going out?"
Ye Ruohuan looked at Ye Shuo who looked like a little old man and couldn't help laughing.
