Ye Huo's Gifts, the Whole Family's Treasure

The Ginza Building towered high above the city.

The luxurious office had floor-to-ceiling windows on all four sides, offering a view over the skies of the entire Capital.

Roses and chocolates lay on the desk.

Ye Huo reclined against the sofa with a love letter in her hand, her impossibly long legs crossed.

Her three teammates gathered around her.

"Boss, hurry up and open it! What does the love letter say?"

Ye Huo tore open the pink envelope and drew out a colorful sheet of paper fragrant with ink.

Written on it, word by word in neat, engraved strokes of black fountain-pen ink, were the words-

The evening path,

soft as the pages of an old book,

I bring out gentle breezes, the rising sun, and flowers blooming throughout the city,

to meet you.

My darling Huohuo, I like you

earnestly and timidly

from beginning to end

-A-Ze

"Wow, boss, that's so romantic!"

Envy spilled from Snake Demon's eyes, her girlish heart bursting as she said, "Such a beautiful man actually wrote such a beautiful love letter. It's so romantic!"

"Tch, what's so impressive about writing a few sappy lines in a love letter? If he's got what it takes, he should beat us before he tries to court our boss!"

Thousand Mechanisms was still very protective of his boss and spoke sourly.

His boss was the best in the world, utterly one of a kind.

No man was worthy of her.

He certainly didn't want some damned man to carry his boss off-

Ye Huo's heart felt sweet, but she kept a calm expression as she admired the handwriting.

As expected of President Li's handwriting, it was truly peerless. If he entered a calligraphy competition with it, he would surely place among the top competitors.

"Boss, there's something I don't understand. President Li looks young and can't be more than a few years older than you. Why do you call him uncle instead of older brother?"

Blood Blade's simple head began to ponder.

The big guy's attention was always somewhere else.

The corners of Ye Huo's mouth curled up as she answered, "Because our families have been friends for generations. By the rules, he's a generation above me, so I have to call him uncle."

It was a term of respect!

If that guy hadn't been her eldest brother's friend and such a fine-looking man, Ye Huo wouldn't have called him uncle so easily!

Still, since he had said he would visit her home that evening, he probably wouldn't go back on his word.

Ye Huo's fingers tightened slightly around her phone. After thinking for a moment, she sent a message to the family group chat.

"Mom, Dad, Uncle Li is coming to our house for dinner tonight!"

"Great! Dad's already home from work. I'll go slaughter a sheep and a chicken and slice up some beef. The whole family can have hot pot tonight."

Her father, Ye Chuan, still didn't know that someone had set his sights on his precious daughter.

He was especially excited as he spoke happily.

Her mom transferred 100,000 yuan to Ye Huo in the group chat and said cheerfully, "Precious daughter, go out and have fun with your friends. This is Mom's sponsorship money. If it's not enough, tell me and I'll send you more. You're not allowed to come home until you've spent it all!"

"Mom~"

Ye Huo's heart felt sweet.

Her family really treated her so well.

"Precious Huohuo, hurry and accept it. Buy yourself something tasty. My precious daughter can't suffer even the slightest grievance!"

Mom sent two huge smiley faces.

"Got it, Mom."

Ye Huo tapped to accept the transfer, and 100,000 yuan instantly appeared in her WeChat wallet, on top of the spending money her maternal grandfather, grandfather, and older brothers had given her.

All told, it already came to more than five million yuan. That was just her spending money and didn't include the ten billion US dollars in commission in her own bank account.

She really was the daughter of a wealthy family, in every sense of the word.

Ye Huo took a little notebook out of her schoolbag and made a note: her maternal grandfather liked Chinese chess, her maternal grandmother liked gold bangles, her grandfather liked fishing rods, her grandmother liked mahjong, her father liked flowers and plants, and her mother liked skincare and beauty treatments.

As for her eldest, second, and third brothers, she really didn't know what they liked.

They all stood at the pinnacle of their respective fields. They lacked neither money nor fame; they lacked nothing!

Ye Huo decided to give them keychains she had woven by hand.

This was the first time in her life that she had ever given gifts to boys.

No one else could even dream of receiving a keychain woven by her, the mercenary queen herself.

Once she had decided, she got straight to work!

All afternoon, Ye Huo and Snake Demon wandered through the commercial district with Ye Huo's schoolbag, buying a bagful of gifts and colorful silk thread.

Snake Demon was clever and skillful with her hands and could weave anything.

Ye Huo learned from her and soon wove a little red goldfish, a little white rabbit, and a green stick insect.

When she finished, she checked the time. It was already nearly five or six in the afternoon.

The day was drawing toward dusk.

Ye Huo said goodbye to Snake Demon and returned to the Ye Family home.

Her three brothers happened to be home, helping their dad slaughter fish and chickens, sheep and ducks~

These chickens, ducks, fish, and livestock were all raised in the villa garden and cared for by the servants.

They were all natural, healthy food.

Ye Chuan was slaughtering a sheep when he saw his precious daughter return. His heart instantly melted, and he went to greet her with a smile blooming like a flower. "Precious Huohuo, you're back! Dad missed you so much!"

"Dad, this is a gift for you!"

Ye Huo presented her father with a pot of pink carnations, thanking him for fussing over every aspect of the family like a mother hen.

Her dad was handsome and refined, a typical science-and-engineering man with a good temper, who treated his wife well and his daughter even better.

From the very first day her mom married her dad, he had taken care of everything himself, from climbing walls and fixing light bulbs to washing and scrubbing in the kitchen.

Her dad had never let his wife worry about a thing.

Her mom, Jian Yan, had hardly ever set foot in a kitchen in her life, much less learned to cook. She had been a goddess all her life.

The skin on her face was fair and tender. When she walked beside Ye Huo outside, they looked nothing like mother and daughter, but rather like sisters.

That was why Ye Huo had bought carnations as a gift for her dad, the hardest-working person in the family.

The moment Ye Chuan saw the carnations, tears of excitement welled up in his eyes.

He excitedly threw aside the knife he had been using to slaughter the sheep, washed his hands, wiped them three times on the front of his clothes, and only then scampered over to accept the gift from his lady daughter.

He was too moved to speak.

This was the first gift his precious daughter had ever given him in her entire life!

Ye Chuan sniffled twice, and the man actually began to sob in front of everyone.

He was overwhelmed with emotion.

Holding the flowers, he pulled his precious daughter into his arms. His heart pounded wildly as he said through his tears, "Precious Huohuo, this is the first gift you've given Dad. I'll keep it in my heart forever. Dad will love you for the rest of his life, my precious daughter!"

"Little sister, we want gifts too~"

"Precious daughter, Mom wants a gift too~"

"Precious granddaughter, Grandpa wants a gift too~"

Hearing Ye Chuan's cries of wild joy in the courtyard,

everyone gathered around with envious expressions and held out their hands for gifts.

Ye Huo pulled away from her father's warm, broad embrace and wiped her eyes, which had grown a little misty from being moved.

Honestly.

She was the queen, with a heart as hard as iron and countless lives on her hands. How could she cry so easily?

Looking at everyone's eager faces, Ye Huo felt a warmth she had never known before.

So this was what a home felt like!

Ye Huo smiled through her tears and took the gifts out of her schoolbag one by one, giving them to her family!

When she gave her mom a set of Facial Treatment Essence worth more than 2,000 yuan, a La Prairie luxury face mask worth 12,000 yuan, and an F Lancôme cosmetics set worth 90,000 yuan, her mom cried too.

"Precious daughter, you should have saved the money Mom gave you for good food and nice clothes. Why did you buy such expensive cosmetics for me?"

Jian Yan was so moved that her heart pounded.

This was her precious daughter... what a lovely, filial, blessed daughter she was!

No wonder people said a daughter was her mother's little cotton-padded jacket.

With a precious daughter like this, Jian Yan was so happy she could die.

"Mom, you're my precious mom, the one I love most in this world. I want to give you the most expensive cosmetics so you'll never grow old and can stay with me for the rest of my life!"

Ye Huo softly professed her love beside her mother's ear.

Jian Yan's ears were practically bursting with happiness.

Her heart was as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

She swore she would dote on her precious daughter for the rest of her life. If anyone dared to bully her precious daughter even a little, she would risk her life to stand against the world!

"Boo-hoo-hoo... Mom's precious daughter, Mom's little cotton-padded jacket, Mom's little princess. Mom will love you forever, stay with you forever, and always be your guardian angel!"

Jian Yan gave her precious daughter a tight hug, then planted a smacking kiss on her adorable cheek.

Ye Huo gave the rest of the gifts to her family one by one.

The whole family was full of envy.

Huohuo was the one held at the very tips of their hearts, and the gifts she gave were one of a kind in this world.

Grandpa and Grandma, Mom and Dad, and her eldest, second, and third brothers treasured their gifts and put them away. Then the whole family happily went to prepare dinner.
