My Scheming Little Devil

This reluctance to part only intensified her longing to keep him around for a bit longer.

Moreover, their love needed to reach a satisfying conclusion.

A true fulfillment, built on mutual trust and honesty.

A once-empty space in Ye Lu’s heart was finally filled. She had always lacked love, that sense of happiness from being deeply cherished; at last, she could feel it without fear of loss.

He respected her so much, treating her with such tenderness.

They were truly happy.

She could only wish that the night was long and that dawn would never come.

...

When Ye Lu opened her eyes, she was met with a pair of large, adorable, grape-like eyes that sparkled with boundless curiosity and innocence. They blinked at her as if they were stars twinkling in the night sky, dazzling to behold.

"Mommy, why are you lying in Daddy’s hospital bed? It’s getting late; get up quickly."

She cried out in sudden alarm, her voice a concerned and anxious shrill that reverberated in the ear. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Are you sick too? Oh no, is it the baby brother or sister wanting to come out? Wuu, call the doctor quickly, Doctor, come save my mommy, she’s going to have the baby."

Ye Lu was taken aback, her face turning dark as she hurriedly covered the loudmouth.

Was she trying to wake everyone up and have them come over? If they all came running, they would surely know what was up in an instant.

How utterly embarrassing, why had she given birth to such a pesky little girl? Sometimes, she was just too exasperating.

"Umm, umm, umm..." Ye Yiyi’s mouth was covered, making her unable to speak. She stared at her mother uncomprehendingly, her large eyes innocent.

"Don’t shout nonsense." Ye Lu’s cheeks reddened as she glared at her before finally letting go of her mouth, "Cough, cough, Mommy is just tired and lying down here for a bit."

But Ye Yiyi caught sight of her mother’s outstretched hand and immediately widened her eyes.

"Mommy, where are your clothes?" she accused right away.

Ye Lu’s face grew even more unseemly, engulfed in embarrassment as she coughed again.

"It’s hot weather..."

"Is it? But it feels rather cool."

Ye Lu glared at her, helplessly shooing her away: "Go out, go out, Mommy needs to change clothes."

"No, I want to get up there too, I want to see the baby brother or sister." Ye Yiyi said smiling, using both hands to try and climb in, attempting to pull away Ye Lu’s bedding.

"Little miss, causing mischief first thing in the morning." Third Young Master Jun appeared amused, scooping her up and planting a strong kiss on her tender cheek, "Stop bothering your mommy, she’s tired!"

"Why is she tired? Doesn’t sleep eliminate fatigue?" Ye Yiyi tilted her little head, a myriad of questions beginning to form.

"Because..."

Third Young Master Jun’s gaze shifted playfully, glancing back at an embarrassed and annoyed Ye Lu, who was glaring fiercely at him, warning him not to taint the child’s pure thoughts.

"Alright, because your mommy took care of Daddy all night."

Ye Yiyi showed a look of sympathy: "Then Mommy worked really hard, sitting on the chair without sleeping all night, she must be very tired, Yiyi feels sorry for her."

"That’s not the case, I had her lying down," smirked Third Young Master Jun.

The little girl looked surprised: "Lying down, how can she take care of you?"

"Of course, it’s..." Third Young Master Jun’s smile was teasing, and by now Ye Lu’s eyes were shooting fire at him, "That’s something I can’t tell you now, sweetheart. When you grow up and find your little husband, you will naturally understand. Now, if we don’t leave, your mommy will turn into a fire-breathing dragon and turn us both to ash."

Proudly carrying his precious daughter, Third Young Master Jun left with a swagger.

Ye Lu ground her teeth for a while, then, still fuming, put on her clothes.
