My Scheming Little Devil

The little girl tilted her head thoughtfully for a long time, then cheered, her chubby little hands excitedly wrapping around Third Young Master Jun’s neck, her large eyes brimming with excitement and joy.

"I knew it, I didn’t call you wrong, you really are my dad, my real dad, that’s great."

She cheered joyfully, kissing his face, very happy.

Her thoughts were simple; her favorite dad was her real dad, which was simply the most wonderful thing in the world. From now on, she would rightfully be his daughter, no wonder she felt he was so special the first time she saw him and instinctively called him dad.

When Third Young Master Jun saw Ye Yiyi’s happy expression, he couldn’t help but smile. He had been very afraid inside, afraid of not gaining his children’s recognition, especially since he hadn’t cared for them in seven years, owing them a great deal.

He couldn’t help but look expectantly at Ye Yuan, his son.

After the initial shock, Ye Yuan’s expression turned very calm. He coldly glanced at Third Young Master Jun and then at Ye Lu.

"Mommy, didn’t you say that my father was a brave soldier who died on a mission?"

Third Young Master Jun’s face stiffened.

Ye Yuan’s questioning words made Ye Lu somewhat embarrassed; it wasn’t easy to tell the two children the truth about what happened seven years ago, after all, they wouldn’t understand, and they really didn’t need to.

Those events were too cruel, not something they could accept or understand.

"Yuanyuan," she sighed, yet was very patient, "I lied to you because of some misunderstandings back then. I separated from him, so I made up a story to deceive you, I’m sorry."

But Ye Yuan was not so easily fooled, especially since he felt there were many loopholes in the story, so he didn’t hesitate to voice his doubts.

"But Mommy, you obviously didn’t recognize him when you saw him before, right?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"This..." Ye Lu was really having a headache. Having such clever children was troublesome. If they were a bit younger or simpler, she could have made up a reasonable explanation.

But this son was really not easy to deceive.

"Since you don’t know him, how could you have given birth to me and my sister seven years ago? So, you’ve been lying to us, he can’t possibly be our father." Ye Yuan’s face was filled with disbelief and coldness.

Third Young Master Jun’s heart stung, his eyes shadowed. He was not a fool, he could see that Yuanyuan’s attitude was tough, and he clearly didn’t want him to be his real father.

"I didn’t lie to you, he truly is your biological father." Ye Lu looked tenderly at her son, "Yuanyuan, I know it’s hard for you to understand some things, and it’s difficult for me to explain, but no matter what, it’s all in the past. We’re together as a family now."

"Are you telling the truth?" Ye Yuan’s lips trembled.

"Yes." Ye Lu nodded affirmatively, "Mommy loves him very much now, and he loves Mommy, and loves both of you."

She knew he would still resist somewhat; this child’s thoughts were more complicated than Yiyi’s and he was very thoughtful, but she hoped he could accept Third Young Master Jun for her sake.

Yet, unexpectedly, Ye Yuan coldly raised his little face, his hostile gaze shooting towards Third Young Master Jun.

"Since he’s our father, why has he ignored us for seven years, never caring about our existence?"

Third Young Master Jun trembled, his son’s hostile gaze, full of resentment, piercing his heart like a sharp sword.

A surge of infinite guilt and pain welled up inside him.

"I’m sorry, Yuanyuan, Yiyi, your father has let you down." His remorseful tone deep, he bowed his head and apologized to the two children.
