Chapter 219: Chapter 144: What are you thinking, you old coot! [Large Chapter, over 7000 words]_1

Bai Susu had been looking for quite a while but couldn’t discern anything.

Soon, Ye Fan and Zhuge came back.

Ye Fan approached Bai Susu and gently nudged the little girl.

“Why are you sitting here all by yourself, what’s up?” Ye Fan asked.

“Nothing much, just feeling a bit bored, I’ll tell you some good news later!” Bai Susu gave a mysterious smile.

Imagine if Ye Fan knew she was pregnant, he would be so ecstatic.

But now was not the time to tell him.

O(∩_∩)O haha~

“What good news that you can’t even tell me now?” Ye Fan said.

This girl is getting naughtier by the day.

But what could the good news be?

Did we make big money?

Something about the company?

Or what…

Anyway, Ye Fan figured it probably wasn’t any of those things.

He couldn’t think of anything else.

“What is it, just tell me!” Ye Fan said with a smile, watching Bai Susu.

The little girl was actually playing coy with him.

“I said I’d tell you later, so I’ll tell you later, hmph!” Bai Susu turned her little face away, then spoke.

‘Alright, you’re killing me with curiosity,’ Ye Fan said.

And he was, truly dying of curiosity.

What on earth could it be? Ye Fan’s curiosity grew and grew.

No choice!

He hadn’t been quite interested at first.

But seeing Bai Susu acting so secretive, he became curious; she had successfully hooked his curiosity.

Ah, but the girl wasn’t talking!

Ye Fan felt as if there was a cat scratching at his heart, it was really quite itchingly uncomfortable!

No choice!

He could only wait until Bai Susu was willing to speak.

“Ye Fan, Niuniu isn’t an ordinary bird, is she?” Bai Susu looked into the distance, slowly starting to speak.

This bird was too spirited.

She felt it certainly couldn’t be compared with common birds.

Where had Ye Fan found such a bird?

“Why would you ask that?” Ye Fan was taken aback. Did the girl know something?

Had he talked in his sleep and given something away?

This…

Ye Fan was somewhat at a loss.

He was a bit scared!

“I just feel that Niuniu is too clever. She doesn’t look like other birds at a glance. I used to think she was a chick, and now she’s become a bird, so beautiful. And, well, she can play with the kids, understand human language. I just think, no, wait, right, did you say you found this bird?” Bai Susu looked at Ye Fan and spoke.

Regardless of whether the bird truly had such spirit, it was true that it was good to the children.

She wasn’t foolish, she could see that.

Niuniu and the kids had a deep bond, and of course, she had a deep relationship with Ye Fan too. However, the Little Red Bird seemed to always go to Little Fourth Ye Jie to hang out.

This was, in fact, a bit strange to Bai Susu.

“Ah, didn’t I tell you? I found an egg, and then it hatched in my hands, and out came this bald chicken, er, well, now it’s a bird.” Ye Fan said.

He had won it in a draw, and the System had just given him an egg to incubate.

Back then, don’t mention how frustrated he was.

A grown man, hatching an egg.

If others knew about it, they would surely die laughing.

Thankfully, apart from heaven and earth, only the System knew, and then himself.

That’s how he managed to save face.

“Like this, I feel this Little Red Bird is a bit extraordinary. It looks just like the Vermilion Bird described in books. Do you think it could be the Vermilion Bird? But it doesn’t make sense for it to be so small.” Bai Susu frowned, gazing at the Little Red Bird a short distance away.

It was unclear whether she was talking to herself or asking Ye Fan.

Ye Fan, upon hearing this, was instantly surprised.

Damn!

She had actually guessed correctly!

This girl was really clever.

Guessing correctly just like that.

She was really quick-witted.

But how could he possibly admit to it? If he did, then later on…

If he didn’t admit it, and things got exposed, he would be doomed!

So, all he could do was muddle through.

“Who knows? I can’t tell either,” Ye Fan shrugged his shoulders, then spoke somewhat helplessly.

“Fine then!” Bai Susu said lightly, making it hard to discern what she was thinking.

“Ye Fan, no matter what you do, I support you. Do you remember what I told you before? No matter what you do, I will believe in you unconditionally. I know you have some secrets, maybe you’re not comfortable sharing with me, or maybe you’re afraid it will affect me negatively. I understand. I just want to tell you, from the moment I married you, I became your person. Alive, I’m yours; dead, I’ll be your ghost. Understand?” Bai Susu articulated word by word.

Each word weighed heavily, striking at the heart of Ye Fan.

“Don’t talk like that. I do have some things to deal with, but I keep them from you for your own good. Trust me, we’ll definitely live happily ever after. Don’t talk about dying, if anyone has to die it will be me in front of you!” Ye Fan hugged Bai Susu from behind.

This silly girl, always thinking of such things.

Why worry about death when we’re living a good life?

He, Ye Fan, would never let his wife, Bai Susu, come to any harm, even if it cost him his life.

And, of course, his precious children as well.

They were his life.

In this life, what he cared for most was his family.

That’s why he would try his utmost to protect them.

“What are you guys up to, come and eat! The four of you, come back and have dinner!” Just then, Mother Ye, still with an apron tied around her waist, called out to everyone.
