Ye Castle, it was almost noon when He Xiyan returned home from the hospital, and at this time she finally received the Wechat message from Ye Hao.

“We had been negotiating with several partners in the morning, thus I turned my phone into the silence mode? What’s wrong? Something wrong at home?”

He Xiyan sat on the sofa, staring at the message silently. She pursed her lips, which were overflown with a bitter smile.

What a short-circuited brain, she thought. She rushed to the hospital even without figuring out the actual situation, which turned out to be a misunderstanding.

Fortunately, Ye Hao didn’t know about it. Otherwise, he must make something else out of this misunderstanding.

Reading his message, He Xiyan thought for quite a while but still did not know how to respond. She scratched her hair and finally sent a message with some kind of guilty conscience.

“It was Yuanyuan who pressed your number accidentally and called you.”

“Everything is good back home. Don’t worry.”

Then she sent a few more funny emoticons.

Only a bitter smile hung on her face. She laughed at herself for becoming more and more silly.

Yuanyuan was now with Menglin and some other ones who were helping him practise walking. The little boy grew very fast, with long arms and legs, looking taller than a one-year-old child. A week ago, he was even able to stand with the support of the wall for a minute or two. And now he can walk a dozen meters with the help of the wall on his own.

His physical developments far exceeded that of other children of the same age.

Yuanyuan stood carefully, both his hands holding against the wall. He seemed a little tired. He opened his small mouth, taking big breaths and looking back at the aunt next to him from time to time.

It seemed that he wanted them to hold him more.

However, Menglin and Wang Lan, who had no experience as a mother, were just chatting with each other and could not understand what the child meant.

Usually, He Xiyan, Qin Xiaoyu and the nanny, rather than they, took care of this child much. However, recently they felt that the child had grown up a little, who even called them aunt. They found him feeling funny, so they rushed to care for Yuanyuan and play with him together.

Menglin looked at Yuanyuan who wore a certain kind of seriousness on the face. She liked him so much that she squatted down and kissed him hard. In her heart, she really hoped to have such a lovely baby in the future.

Wang Lan was watching aside.

She wore her hands around her chest, her eyes full of indifference.

She just wanted to amuse the child to kill dullness. Actually, she didn’t really want to take care of this child.

“Sister Menglin, you don’t really like this child, do you?” Wang Lan asked, in a lower voice.

Menglin reached out her hand and pinched Yuanyuan’s small face a little, without concealing her love for the child.

“Of course I do, what? You don’t like him?”

Such a loved baby, let alone she, all women who wanted to be mothers would love.

Wang Lan raised her eyebrows, giving a sudden sneer.

She came near Menglin and whispered, “I heard that this child was conceived by He Xiyan before he knew Mr. Ye. He is not Mr. Ye’s child at all, just a bastard. You really take him as the little prince in the castle!”

Shocked, Menglin suddenly took back her hand on Yuanyuan’s head, looking at Wang Lan with eyes wide open.

“But it is said... that he was adopted in the countryside? How could it be?” She said incredulously, her voice rising unconsciously.

Ah... Wang Lan gave a light laugh.

“When the baby in pregnancy is born, you will see the difference. At that time, Mr. Ye will not take a look at the child, believe it or not. So, let’s not bother to please this bastard. We’d better wait for the next one to be born. Let Qin Xiaoyu take this baby. The stupid girl likes to take care of children, doesn’t she?”
