After today's breakfast incident, Ye Chong took the initiative to bring Le Bao out again.
A child's emotions came and went quickly. Le Bao was sitting steadily in the high chair at the back, while Ye Chong sat beside her with his eyes closed, deep in thought.
She fiddled with the little thing she had hidden in her hand, and turned to look at Ye Chong's handsome profile.
"Daddy!"
"Hmm?" Ye Chong opened his eyes and turned around. "What is it?"
"I have a gift for you."
"A gift?" Ye Chong raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "What gift?"
Le Bao would not give it to him so easily. "This is a surprise. You have to reach out your hand to me and close your eyes!"
"What is so complicated?" Ye Chong curled his lips, and reached out his hand with his eyes closed.
Le Bao picked up the necklace from her pocket. It was the same parent-child necklace she had given to Ye Wei and Ye Zhao.
She clumsily put the bracelet around Ye Chong's wrist and tightened it, then leaned over and blew on it, before clapping her hands. "Alright, Daddy!"
Ye Chong opened his eyes and looked at his wrist. The smile on his face froze.
He raised his hand suspiciously. "What is this?"
"This is Le Bao's gift, bought with her private savings!" She patted her small flat pocket. "Le Bao saved up her red packets every year to buy it. Mommy gave her the red packets!"
"Before Mommy left, she told Bao Bao that if she sees Daddy or other relatives in the future, she has to prepare a small gift for them!"
"It's just like how Mommy will bring a small gift for Le Bao every time she goes out. Everyone will be very happy when they receive it. Look, I have one too, and so do my brothers!"
Le Bao showed off her necklace to him. "Big Brother helped me pick this out when I went shopping with him yesterday. They all like it very much."
"They... all like it?"
"That's right! Big Brother said that he would always wear it!"
Ye Chong's mouth twitched, and he rubbed his temples. "Alright, alright, alright! They are all very discerning people!" He gritted his teeth.
Le Bao pretended not to have heard anything and clapped her hands happily to praise them. "Big Brothers and Daddy are really great!"
Ye Chong laughed and shook his head helplessly.
Le Bao was secretly amused when she saw this.
Ye Chong thought about it and said, "Your mother… She taught you well."
Le Bao thought that he was scolding her when she heard the first sentence.
"Mommy… She has gone to a faraway place and I don't know when she will be back." Her mood instantly dropped again as she twirled her fingers.
Ye Chong had always been straightforward with his five sons. He did not know how to coax such a little girl. He was grateful to the woman he had only met for one night, even though he could not be sure if she was his daughter.
However, it was undeniable that he liked this child very much. Ye Chong did not want her to understand the meaning of life and death too early.
After hesitating for a moment, he comforted Le Bao, "She will come back when you grow up."
"Yes, yes!" Le Bao nodded with a look of trust. "Daddy used to go to places far away. Now that he's back to look for Le Bao, Mommy will definitely come back in the future!"
Ye Chong rubbed her little head, thinking that she was really easy to fool.
Le Bao thought that she was still going to the company to play today, so she looked forward to it all the way. When she realized that the car had driven into the parking lot of a hospital, she finally reacted.
Xia Shang, who was in charge of driving, turned off the engine after driving into the parking lot. He turned around and said, "Boss, we've arrived at the hospital."
"Daddy!" Le Bao grabbed the child safety seat nervously and refused to get down. "What are we doing here?"
"Looking for someone." Ye Chong clapped his hands at her.
"Who are we looking for? Le Bao can wait for Daddy in the car."
Ye Chong saw through her thoughts. "Don't worry, I won't stab you today."
Upon hearing his words, Le Bao's grip on the chair tightened. "Bao Bao is fine. Bao Bao doesn't have to go in!"
"I really don't want anything."
Le Bao grinned dryly at him. "I'm not going down."
Seeing this, Xia Shang also coaxed her. "Le Bao, be good. We're not taking Le Bao for an injection. We're taking Le Bao to see your brother."
Ye Chong took back his words about how gullible a child was, and patiently told Le Bao, "Your Second Brother works here. Let's go in and look for him."
With that said, Le Bao remembered that there were still three older brothers she had not met in the family portrait hanging in the Ye family.
Her five brothers all had their own characteristics and were engaged in different fields.
Her eldest brother was a business genius. His career spanned across many industries and he was an outstanding pioneer in various fields. The phrase 'overflowing wealth' was not bad at all to describe him.
Her second brother was in the medical industry and was also a famous genius doctor in the industry. He handled several rare and complicated cases at a young age, accurately diagnosed and treated them, and successfully completed the surgery. Therefore, he was completely famous in the medical industry.
As for the other third and fourth, she had not met them before. Le Bao only remembered that one of them was in the entertainment industry, and the other seemed to be a streamer in the eSports industry.
She thought about it and compromised, opening her arms and responding to Ye Chong. "Daddy, hug!"
"Little b*stard! You're really not easy to fool!" Ye Chong mumbled to himself as he patted her little butt and carried the child into the hospital.
Xia Shang followed behind the father and daughter, wishing he could take a photo of this scene and send it to everyone!
Look at their stern President Ye. He was like a slave to his daughter.
When they entered the hospital, the smell of cold air and disinfectant assaulted their senses.
Le Bao looked around, her arms tightly wrapped around Ye Chong, afraid that she would be shoved into the nurse's hands.
When he received the news of their arrival, Ye Hui was still studying medical cases in his office.
The nurse knocked on the door and came in to tell him, "Director Ye, President Ye is here to see you."
Ye Hui took off his glasses and rubbed his nose bridge. "Got it."
He got up and stretched his muscles. He put on his glasses and put his hands in the pockets of his white coat before walking out of the office lazily.
From afar, he saw his father walking over with a child in his arms.
Ye Hui stopped in his tracks, pulled down his glasses, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Indeed, it was his father and… that new sister?
"Second." Ye Chong walked over with Le Bao in his arms. He placed Le Bao on the ground and introduced the siblings to each other.
"This is your Second Brother." Ye Chong's tone was casual when he introduced Ye Hui, but when it came to her, he was much gentler, "This is Le Bao, your little sister. I brought her here to have a body check-up."
Le Bao had wanted to show Ye Hui a friendly and cute smile, but when she heard the words 'body check-up,' her little feet quietly retreated.
"Why are you running?" Ye Chong did not even bother to look at her. He grabbed her by the neck and pulled her back. "Let your brother take a good look. Other people are as strong as bears at the age of three, but you're as thin as a monkey. If I bring you out, people will say that I'm abusing children."
Le Bao looked at him pitifully. "Daddy! Didn't we agree Le Bao won't be jabbed?"
"Physical examination doesn't count," Ye Chong answered confidently.
