Chapter 279 Accompany the children
Xia Nuan gave the toys and clothes just bought to the children. She sat at the corner of sofa to help them fit on clothes one by one. The three children stuck to her and kept asking her why Xia Nuan didn’t come back to meet them. Xia Nuan excused that she was busy with work.
“Then mom should take more rest, rather than always be busy with work. You’ll get tired. Once you’re tired, dad and we will also feel distressed.”
“It’s true. If mom doesn’t want us feel distressed, you shouldn’t be too tired.”
“Yes, don’t be too tired.”
Each of the three children was concerned about Xia Nuan with one sentence. Xia Nuan hugged them with gratification, looking at Ye Sichen. However, it seemed that Ye Sichen didn’t notice her. He still read the newspaper, as if Xia Nuan didn’t exist.
The joy in Xia Nuan’s eyes suddenly froze. She seemed to be extremely frustrated. She knew that the children were concerning about her sincerely. As for Ye Sichen, it’s hard to say.
Xia Nuan didn’t understand why Ye Sichen would keep her a distance like this. He knew that she did these all for him, but he had still been so cold to her...
Xia Nuan played with the children with a heavy-heart. When they went to play by themselves, she walked beside Ye Sichen and sat down slowly, sinking a glass of water, “I do miss the children, but I want to see you more.”
Ye Sichen looked at the newspaper, with no warmth in his expression, “There is nothing to say between us.”
Xia Nuan got closer to him, “You can’t have two hundred concerts. You will not be able to bear it. You will be dead...” She lowered her voice and warned him softly.
Ye Sichen just put the newspaper down, and his eyes collided with Xia Nuan’s eyes, “I can handle these two hundred concerts.”
“No, you can’t. A bunch of people are dealing with you. Do you understand? Ye, you know better than me.” Xia Nuan looked at Ye Sichen pleadingly, hoping that he would give up the two hundred concerts.
“I won’t listen to you. I have my own principle. I won’t allow anyone to change the thing that I have decided. Now it is already the biggest concession for me to allow you to meet the children. Don’t touch my bottom line.”
“Can you listen to my advice? Ye, I’m begging you.” Xia Nuan’s nose was a bit sour, and there was mist in her eyes. She stretched out her hand to hold Ye Sichen’s hand, but Ye Sichen stopped her. Her heart fell cold.
“Why are so indifferent to me? Did I commit any unforgiveable felony? What’s wrong with you? Is it just because I joined Yuezhao Organization? Or you blame me for revealing your true identity... It’s my fault. Drink drunk and talk nonsense. But I just want to make up for these mistakes now. I’ve already forged the agreement. Then we just need to change two hundred concerts into twenty concerts. We can solve these. I just want that you can listen to me once...”
“Those people want me to die. Even if it is twenty concerts, what can be changed?” Ye Sichen said coldly.
“That’s different. If there’re fewer concerts, you wouldn’t be so tired. And you can have more spare time to come up with ideas.” Xia Nuan denied.
“No. No matter how careful the arrangement is, it’s useless. I’m not facing one or several persons. My enemies are Yuezhao Organization and the Allies.” Ye Sichen stood up, looking out the window, “Now I am surrounded by spies from the Allies. I can’t even take the children out. They are trying to make me a mere figurehead, and squeeze the rest of my value before I die.” He pointed at two guards in black outside the window, and smiled with self-deprecating, “Look, they are all spies. I just pretend to be ignorant.”
Xia Nuan wiped away the tears and looked in the direction of his finger, “Since you know that they are going to deal with you, haven’t you taken any measures? What did you say at the beginning? Let us face it together when we encounter difficulties...”
“I take back what I said before. Now we are irreverent.” Ye Sichen interrupted Xia Nuan.
Xia Nuan cried again, “No surprise. People change.”
“You’re right. People change. But you are so changeable.” Once Ye Sichen reminded the video that she hugged Ye Enchen, he would feel extremely depressed and uncomfortable. It was like a fishbone sticking in his throat. It was awful. He had to get it off his chest.
Xia Nuan said nothing, just staring at him.
“Sir, there’s a birthday cake delivery girl outside. Should her come in?” At this time, a maid came in, lowered her eyes, and reported to Ye Sichen.
It interrupted Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen’s thoughts.
Xia Nuan snapped out of it, seeming to be surprised.
She didn’t tell the bakery staff the address, but they brought the cake by themselves. She meant to take it by herself. She answered rapidly, “The cake is booked by me. I’ll take it.”
She left the living room with the maid, got out of the living room, and went to the gate, where a cake delivery girl holding a double-layered cake.
Xia Nuan went out.
That female staff handed over the cake to her kindly, “Madam, this is your cake. Please accept it.”
Xia Nuan picked it up and asked the staff with confusion, “I want to know how you get my address?”
The staff smiled and said, “Because we found the location based on the mobile phone number that you left, and then I come here. Would you mind it, madam?”
Xia Nuan handed over the cake, looking at the staff, “Of course not.”
The staff shook hands with Xia Nuan and then left.
Xia Nuan carried the cake and turned into the living room, but was stopped by a woman. She found that’s Ge Li.
“Sir said that the cake should be checked.”
Ge Li said briefly.
Xia Nuan frowned, holding the cake, and looked at Ge Li eye to eye for a few seconds, “This is the cake I ordered, and there will be no problem.”
This was the cake she bought for Wuyou and Nianci. It’s carefully selected by her. It was absolutely impossible to have any problem.
She didn’t allow any accidents at all. Now it’s the extraordinary period, and she was even more cautious.
Ge Li seemed to be doubtful, and continued to stop Xia Nuan, “This is what Sir means.”
Xia Nuan had no choice but to hand over the cake to Ge Li, who started to use an electronic scanning device to scan it.
There was nothing unusual after scanning. Ge Li seemed to be disappointed, and she gave it back to Xia Nuan. Xia Nuan took the cake and walked into the living room calmly.
Wuyou and Nianci ran over and happily met Xia Nuan, who led them to the restaurant with the cake.
Ge Li watched Xia Nuan, walked to Ye Sichen, and whispered, “Sir, the cake is of no problem.”
Ye Sichen nodded and then said nothing. Watching Xia Nuan and the three children were together, his heart warmed up.
Xia Nuan led the children to light candles on the cake. The three children inserted candles with interest. Happy laughter came from time to time.
Ge Li watched this aside and captured the softness in Ye Sichen’s eyes sharply. She was depressed.
It seemed that Ye Sichen, as Mrs. Ni said, still had a trace of affection for Xia Nuan.
“Babies, it’s time for you to blow the candles. If you have some wishes, you can speak out before you blow the candles.” Xia Nuan hugged Ansheng, looking at Wuyou and Nianci with a petite look.
Wuyou and Nianci held their chins and looked at Ye Sichen.
“Dad must come and blow candles for us.”
“Mom must stay and not go to work.”
They said one by one.
Xia Nuan was stunned, looking towards Ye Sichen sadly. Ye Sichen had already come here at this time.
He smiled mildly, holding Wuyou and Nianci in his arms, “Dad will blow the candles with you together. Babies, happy birthday.”
“Then let’s do it together, and mom.” Nianci handed up to approve.
Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen looked at each other for a few seconds, bowed their heads, and blew out the candles with the children.
Ge Li saw this scene, left and went to the secret room quietly.
Mrs. Ni had been waiting for a long time. She looked at Ge Li, lowered her voice and asked her, “Is that woman here?”
Ge Li nodded.
Mrs. Ni hinted her to continue, “Tell me, what she brings?”
“She brought clothes, toys and birthday cake for the three children. I checked her belongings as children’s request. There’s nothing unusual.”
Mrs. Ni frowned, “It seems that these three children are the link between Chen and Xia Nuan, and Xia Nuan is the person of Yuezhao Organization. Yuezhao Organization was my enemy. How can I allow Chen be involved with Yuezhao Organization?”
Ge Li thought about it and said, “Madam, don’t worry about it. Sir has always been defensive with Xia Nuan. After Wuyou and Nianci’s birthday, he will ask her to leave.”
Mrs. Ni seemed to be doubtful, “This woman is not simple. She may entice Chen, and she has three children as a bond. She will use her children to ask Chen to bury the hatchet with her. The only way is to...”
She halted, and the kindness in her eyes just disappeared. Then she became fierce and malicious, “Ge Li, come here. Listen to me.”
Ge Li came closer to Mrs. Ni, who held her hand and said next to her ear. There was some hesitation in her eyes, “Anyway, the children are innocent. Madam, are you sure to do this?”
“Yes, I’ve made the decision. Chen would continue to be confused by that woman if we’re not merciless.”
Ge Li frowned, and she still felt pity for the kids.
“Ge Li, you have to do this. It’s my order. I’ll take the responsibility if there’s any accident.” Mrs. Ni added surely.
Ge Li had to nod and assent it.
Mrs. Ni gave her a thing to hold in hand, “Put this into the toys...”
Ge Li received and did as her order.
Outside of the secret room, Nianci stopped her from leaving. Xia Nuan comforted Nianci and looked at Ye Sichen now and then, hoping he could allow her to stay with the children.
