Ye Chen's face fell when he heard Su Ningwei say that...
Could it be some old flame or something?
It's fine. Don't panic. Stay steady.
An old flame couldn't compare to someone who showed up out of nowhere.
They even had children together...
"Did he see you, then?"
"He did."
"Was he outstanding?"
"Extremely. Brave, kind, handsome, considerate, gentle... Sigh, anyway, he was the best, best man in the world."
"You think so highly of him. Don't tell me you still like him?"
"Of course I do. I've always liked him."
Gritting his teeth, Ye Chen said, "You... you woman... Don't push your luck just because I like you! You're a married woman now. I advise you to forget him as soon as possible. You're not allowed to like him anymore."
"Are you sure I'm not allowed to like him anymore? Aren't you going to ask who he is?"
Seeing Ye Chen's expression grow increasingly ugly, Su Ningwei laughed even more happily.
"Why should I ask? I don't want to know who he is. He's just the past tense. I'm your present continuous and future tense," Ye Chen said sulkily.
Seeing that Ye Chen was genuinely getting a little angry, Su Ningwei smiled and kissed him.
"Even kissing me won't help. You have to forget him."
"Sigh, there's no way I can forget him. It isn't just liking anymore. It's love."
"You've gone too far! You just kissed me, and now you're saying something like that. Everything else is negotiable, but I absolutely won't let you cheat on me. Between him and me, you have to choose one today."
"You idiot, haven't you figured it out yet? The person I was talking about is you."
Unable to hold it in any longer, Su Ningwei gently pinched Ye Chen's cheeks and said with a smile.
This man was actually jealous of himself. He was so adorable that she couldn't bear to keep teasing him.
An increase in "PEA" really did affect a person's judgment, while suppressing activity in the areas of the brain responsible for memory and attention.
No wonder people became stupid when they fell in love.
She had clearly just praised him based on Ye Chen himself, yet he hadn't realized it.
Ye Chen still looked utterly baffled. "You're saying the person you've always liked is me? But we didn't know each other before."
"Who said we didn't? Wait here, I'll show you something." Su Ningwei slipped out from under Ye Chen's arm.
Ye Chen hurried after Su Ningwei and followed her out of the bathroom.
Su Ningwei rummaged through her cabinet and found an exquisite little locked box.
"This is yours, isn't it?" Su Ningwei carefully took a name tag out of the box.
Ye Chen's name, class, and school were engraved on the name tag.
"How did this end up with you?" Ye Chen took the name tag, then suddenly understood. "You're that little girl who got splashed with ink?"
No way?
That skinny little thing from back then had turned out to be so well-endowed?
It wasn't his fault he hadn't recognized her.
Back then, Su Ningwei had been covered in black ink. Even her own mother probably wouldn't have recognized her.
No wonder Su Ningwei, a famous singer, had been willing to spend a night with him and bear his children the first time they met.
So that was what happened. Then it all made sense.
Sure enough, good people were rewarded.
The story of a hero saving a beauty was a little cliché, but there was a reason it had endured for so long.
Who wouldn't like a handsome savior?
If he were ugly, she'd just repay him by serving him like an ox or horse in her next life.
"Yes, it was me." Su Ningwei looked at Ye Chen with sincere gratitude. "Thank you. If you hadn't stepped forward, they might have beaten me to death."
Ye Chen held Su Ningwei's hand and asked with concern, "What are you thanking me for? Haven't you already repaid me with your body? Were you all right that day? Did they bully you again?"
"I was hurt that day too. By the time I woke up, I was already overseas. I wanted to thank you in person, but my father never let me return to the country and kept all news blocked off," Su Ningwei replied.
"No wonder I could never find you. So you'd gone abroad. Your father left me a hundred thousand yuan back then. I had wanted to return it to you."
"Return what? You deserved it," Su Ningwei replied with a smile.
"Waaah..."
"Waaah..."
The babies' cries came from outside the room.
Su Ningwei took the name tag back from Ye Chen, returned it to the little box, and locked it away.
"The babies must be hungry. I'll feed them first." As she spoke, Su Ningwei went to feed the three little ones.
"There's no rush. Eat something first and fill your stomach before feeding them."
"I'm not hungry."
Ye Chen frowned. How could she not be hungry?
Breastfeeding made people hungry most easily.
Forget it. His wife would feed the babies, and he could feed his wife. Problem solved.
Ye Chen changed clothes, washed up, and left the room as well.
Li Mei had already prepared breakfast.
Ye Chen picked up a serving of breakfast and went to the nursery to see his wife and the three little babies.
Su Ningwei was sitting by the window, holding Erbao and breastfeeding her.
Morning light fell over Su Ningwei.
Bathed in the morning light, her skin was as smooth as cream, making her look especially gentle and beautiful.
Her lovely hair cascaded loosely down her shoulders, soft and silky, pure and beautiful.
It felt as though even the air had become gentle and quiet.
"Wife, you're so beautiful." Ye Chen bent down and kissed Su Ningwei on the forehead.
Su Ningwei smiled shyly. "Your mouth is so sweet this early in the morning. I'm still in confinement and haven't even put on any face cream. How beautiful could I possibly be?"
"You're naturally beautiful. You look good no matter what," Ye Chen replied with a smile.
"Waaah..."
Xiaobao in the cradle had gotten desperately hungry and began crying loudly.
Ye Chen hurriedly picked Xiaobao up and soothed him. "Don't cry, don't cry. It'll be your turn soon. Be grateful, you little brat. Your dad doesn't even know when it'll be his turn."
Su Ningwei's face instantly turned red. "What nonsense are you saying in front of the children? Aren't you afraid of teaching them bad things?"
"What is there to fear? They can't understand yet. Besides, when was I talking nonsense? Or do you want me to have a taste too?" Ye Chen's eyes lit up as he looked at that snowy white softness.
Su Ningwei's face reddened further. "Aren't you ashamed? You're such a grown man, yet you're competing with a child for food. Bring Xiaobao over."
"I was only joking. Anyway, after a year, it'll be mine." Ye Chen smiled and handed Xiaobao to Su Ningwei.
Su Ningwei took Xiaobao and fed him while saying with a smile, "Yours. It's all yours."
"Open your mouth. From now on, you need to fill yourself up first before feeding the children. Remember, you're yourself first, and only then are you their mother." Ye Chen scooped up a spoonful of chicken porridge and brought it to Su Ningwei's lips.
A mother's love for her children was innate and selfless.
But that didn't mean a mother had to sacrifice herself for her children.
A mother could love her children very, very much while also loving herself very, very much.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with letting the children wait a few minutes and go hungry for a little while.
"Got it." Su Ningwei smiled, opened her mouth to accept the porridge Ye Chen fed her, and warmth filled her heart.
Being cherished by someone really was such a wonderful feeling.
