When the three of them returned home, they had never felt so elated before.

Ye Xiaofei and Fang Ling’er sat on the ground and opened the prizes one by one. Their daughter laughed like a silver chime from time to time.

Ye Xiaofei was also playing with Fang Ling’er patiently. Patience was not the right word to describe it – Ye Xiaofei was really having a good time with Fang Ling’er. He was clearly delighting in being with her.

Fang Yunshu had to admit that she was enjoying this kind of life.

Fang Yunshu’s phone suddenly rang. When she saw the number on her phone, her hand trembled involuntarily and her phone slid onto the sofa.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Xiaofei promptly asked, seeing that Fang Yunshu’s expression didn’t look good.

“No… It’s nothing.” Fang Yunshu quickly grabbed her phone, which was still ringing, and rushed into her room before closing the door.

Ye Xiaofei frowned. Such a panicked reaction and hiding to answer the phone. Could it be Fang Ling’er’s biological father?

As soon as this thought appeared, Ye Xiaofei felt very uncomfortable.

“Daddy, what’s wrong?” Fang Ling’er tilted her head and asked.

“It’s nothing.” Ye Xiaofei didn’t want to ruin his daughter’s good mood, so he quickly replied with a smile.

“Are you unhappy that Mommy’s answering the phone behind your back?” Fang Ling’er asked.

This daughter was too smart. Ye Xiaofei grinned and said, “Yeah, 1 wonder who called your mommy.”

“Then go eavesdrop.” Fang Ling’er blinked.

“If I eavesdrop, your mommy will be angry,” Ye Xiaofei said.

“I’ll go; my ears are very sharp now. I can hear clearly from far away, even through the door,” Fang Ling’er said as she tiptoed to the bedroom door and pressed her ear against it.

After a while, Fang Ling’er crept over to Ye Xiaofei’s side.

“It’s Grandma calling.”

“Oh, it’s your grandma.” Ye Xiaofei felt relieved.

“But every time Mommy receives a call from my grandma, she’d be very unhappy, even crying many times in secret.”

Ye Xiaofei thought of a problem and said, “1 really don’t think I’ve seen your grandma, nor have I heard your mother mention her. When I was in the Fang family, your grandma didn’t seem to be around.”

Fang Ling’er said, “Because my mommy gave birth to me, my great-grandfather and the others hated my mother. They blamed Grandma and Grandpa for not disciplining Mommy properly, causing the Fang family to suffer great losses. Grandma and Grandpa were so livid that they went to a faraway place.”

Fang Ling’er’s words were logical. If anyone else heard her, they would definitely think that she wasn’t a child.

However, Ye Xiaofei was already used to seeing Fang Ling’er’s impish side, so he was completely used to it. He continued to ask, “Then, is your mommy on good terms with your grandma?”

Fang Ling’er tilted her head and thought for a moment. “I’m not too sure about that. As far as I can remember, I’ve never seen them. 1 only know that Grandma always scolded Mommy and Mommy always cried and apologized.”

Ye Xiaofei had a rough idea from Fang Ling’er’s words. Fang Yunshu had secretly given birth to a child, and her parents had been criticized by the Fang family. Their status had plummeted. One of them felt embarrassed, and the other blamed Fang Yunshu. After all, this had caused their status in the Fang family to nosedive.

The bedroom door opened and Fang Yunshu walked out. Her eyes were red as she said, “Ling’er, Grandma and Grandpa are back. Let’s go and see them.”

“Oh… Then let Daddy go with us,” Fang Ling’er said immediately.

“He can’t go.” Fang Yunshu shook her head.

Fang Ling’er instantly pouted and said, “Why not? Once we go back, everyone will bully us. If Daddy goes, they won’t be able to bully us anymore.”

Fang Yunshu smiled and said gently, “This time, they will no longer bully us. Grandma and Grandpa specially came back to see you.”

Ye Xiaofei said, “I’d better go with you. I can even follow you secretly. I always feel that your parents coming back at this time, it’s very likely that they were asked to return by the Fang family. They want to use them to play the emotional card with you and then get benefits from you. If you don’t agree, you will definitely be blamed by them.”

The smile on Fang Yunshu’s face froze. She had also thought of what Ye Xiaofei had said.

But Fang Yunshu still shook her head and said, “But I can’t let you go. If you go, it will only make things more troublesome.”

“You’re wrong. Can the Fang family not tell your parents about me? Moreover, how could the Fang family not know that I’m your secretary? I have to eventually face them.”

“Why do you have to face them?” Fang Yunshu glared at him. “Aren’t you thinking too much of yourself?”

“All… This…” Ye Xiaofei’s expression turned ugly. What happened from yesterday had made him feel that his relationship with Fang Yunshu had improved greatly. He even thought that he was Fang Yunshu’s man.

However, Fang Yunshu’s words pulled him back to reality.

“You’re right. I really think too highly of myself. However, Ling’er calls me Daddy. Just based on this point, I have to protect the both of you no matter what.”

When Ye Xiaofei said this, he actually felt a little sore. Wasn’t he a little humbled?

D*mn it, 1 really owe this woman, Fang Yunshu. If it were any other woman, I wouldn’t have spoiled her.

Fang Yunshu opened her cherry lips and said softly, “Alright, then come with

me..”
