Today, Father is coming back, Nuannuan got up early and woke up Ye Jingming beside her.
“Third Uncle, the sun is shining on your bottom!”
“Awoo~” (Get up quickly!) Qiuqiu, who had come to stay with Nuannuan, was also circling under the bed.
“Nuannuan, why are you awake so early?”
Ye Jingming rubbed his eyes, looking half-asleep. He reached out and pulled Nuannuan into his arms, then ruffled her hair.
Yesterday, it was Nuannuan’s turn to sleep at Ye Jingming’s house, and Ye Jingming had truly experienced the joy of sleeping with a little dumpling these past two days.
“Daddy is coming back! Nuannuan wants to pick up Daddy~” Nuannuan struggled to get out of Ye Jingming’s embrace.
“Nuannuan, your second brother isn’t arriving until noon, and it’s only seven in the morning,” Ye Jingming said, covering his eyes in exasperation.
Nuannuan had been so excited about Ye Jinghuai’s return today that she had fallen asleep very late. This had caused him to sleep late too, and wake up so early.
“Mmm, but Nuannuan wants to wait for Daddy earlier!” Nuannuan tilted her head and blinked at him.
“Be good, let’s sleep a little longer. Third Uncle will take you to pick up your father, okay?”
“Alright then! Third Uncle, you sleep slowly. Nuannuan is going to find Fourth Uncle and Big Uncle.” With that, she started to crawl off the bed with her little hands and feet.
Qiuqiu, wagging its tail, waited nearby. Seeing Nuannuan about to crawl down, it tried to use its body to catch the little dumpling.
“I’m getting up.” Hearing Nuannuan wanted to find someone else, Ye Jingming sat up without a second thought.
“Mwah~ Third Uncle is the best!” Nuannuan happily pounced on him and gave him a kiss.
“Mm, it would be bad if Third Uncle didn’t get up,” Ye Jingming said, rubbing Nuannuan’s hair helplessly.
“Awoo~” (I’m great too! Little one.)
“Hehe, you’re both great! Qiuqiu is great too!” Nuannuan patted Qiuqiu’s dog head peeking over the edge of the bed.
The big one and the little one got out of bed. Nuannuan even specifically went back home, chose a new outfit, and had the maid style her hair into cute twin buns.
“Nuannuan, do you really need to put so much effort into this?” Ye Jingming asked, his tone a little sour as he watched Nuannuan’s attentiveness.
“This is Nuannuan’s first time picking up Daddy, of course Nuannuan needs to be pretty!”
“Come quickly and eat breakfast. After eating, Third Uncle will take you,” Ye Jingming said, arranging the breakfast on the table and beckoning to Nuannuan.
“Okay~”
Urged on by Nuannuan’s constant prompting, Ye Jingming hastily finished his breakfast and drove towards the airport with Nuannuan. Qiuqiu also automatically climbed into the car with Nuannuan.
“Nuannuan, Qiuqiu can’t go into the airport later. We’ll have to leave Qiuqiu in the car,” Ye Jingming said while driving.
“Okay~ Nuannuan understands.” Nuannuan nodded.
“Qiuqiu~ You have to wait in the car for Nuannuan and Daddy~” Nuannuan looked down and instructed Qiuqiu.
“Awoo~” (Don’t worry! Little one)
Upon arriving at the airport, there were still two hours before Ye Jinghuai’s arrival, but Nuannuan showed no impatience. She gripped her little hands and continuously peered into the exit.
Unable to refuse her, Ye Jingming held Nuannuan and stood waiting. The airport passersby couldn't help but cast glances at the handsome pair. During this time, quite a few people recognized Nuannuan, but Ye Jingming sent them away.
“Daddy~ Daddy~ Nuannuan is here!”
As soon as Ye Jinghuai emerged, he heard his daughter’s familiar little voice. His gaze swept around, and he quickly spotted Nuannuan sitting on Ye Jingming’s arm and waving at him.
“Nuannuan!”
Ye Jinghuai’s usually serious face finally broke into a smile. He walked directly towards Nuannuan.
“Daddy~”
Nuannuan opened her arms and reached out towards Ye Jinghuai.
Ye Jinghuai took Nuannuan’s small body and held her tightly. Smelling Nuannuan’s familiar milky scent, his longing of many days finally ended.
“Nuannuan misses Daddy so much~” Nuannuan rested her head on Ye Jinghuai’s shoulder, nuzzling his face softly.
“Daddy misses Nuannuan too.” Ye Jinghuai’s expression was incredibly gentle at this moment.
“Love Daddy~” Nuannuan hugged Ye Jinghuai stickily.
“Daddy loves Nuannuan too.” Ye Jinghuai kissed Nuannuan’s little cheek with a face full of happiness.
“Ahem~ May I say something? You father and daughter are really clingy,” Ye Jingming interrupted them coldly. Nuannuan had stopped noticing anyone else since Ye Jinghuai appeared.
“What’s wrong with me being close to my own daughter? I haven’t settled accounts with you guys yet!”
Ye Jinghuai still remembered the debt from when the three brothers had abducted Nuannuan while he was away!
“Second Brother, we were all doing it to take care of Nuannuan.”
“Can’t Uncle Li and Aunt Wu take care of her?”
“That’s not the same! At least we’ve been coaxing Nuannuan very well. You see, when you were away, Nuannuan wasn’t eating well or sleeping well. You wouldn’t want to come back and see Nuannuan looking so thin, would you?” Ye Jingming shrugged.
“Yes! They’ve been coaxing her so much that if I didn’t come back, she would have almost forgotten me.”
Since Nuannuan’s arrival, Ye Jinghuai’s persona had collapsed more than a little. He was already quite adept at bickering with his brothers.
“Daddy~ Let’s go home!” Nuannuan interrupted their exchange.
“Alright.” Ye Jinghuai turned and took his luggage from Han Rui.
“Rest for two days before going back to work. I’ll take Nuannuan home directly.” Ye Jinghuai considerately gave his special assistant two days off.
“Thank you, President.” Han Rui couldn’t have been happier.
“Uncle Han~” Nuannuan only noticed Han Rui at this moment.
“Hello, Miss.”
[Sob~ Miss finally sees me!]
“Bye-bye, Uncle Han~” Nuannuan waved her little hand at Han Rui.
“Bye-bye~”
Han Rui stood in place, waving his hand and staring dazedly at Nuannuan’s departing figure.
“Handsome, you dropped something,” a charming female voice came from behind.
Han Rui came back to his senses and turned around. It was a young woman dressed very fashionably, with a head of big black waves and sunglasses.
“Uh, thank you.” Han Rui took it and saw it was his business card holder.
“Do you work at Ye Shi?” Leng Liuyue asked, looking at the business card holder in Han Rui’s hand.
“Yes.”
“Was that your boss just now?” Leng Liuyue tilted her chin in the direction Ye Jinghuai had left.
“Miss, is there anything I can help you with?” Han Rui became vigilant.
“Just asking casually, I’m leaving!” Leng Liuyue said no more. She had already guessed most of it.
She had seen the man from that night on the plane. She still remembered the grudge of being kicked out that night!
If she hadn’t reacted quickly, she would have been caught. And then they even called the police. Leng Liuyue had no doubt that Ye Jinghuai was behind it. Fortunately, the surveillance didn’t capture her face clearly, so she was able to leave easily with a false identity.
Leng Liuyue was a top assassin trained by an underground organization in Country E. From a young age, her only memory was undergoing various training in the organization. After so many years, she was tired of completing endless missions and wanted to leave the organization.
However, she knew too many secrets of the organization. She had been evading the organization’s pursuit during this time. She couldn’t stay abroad anymore. Fortunately, Long Country had a high safety factor and strict controls, so those people didn’t dare to come in and arrest her openly.
Looking at the search page on her phone, her red lips curved slightly.
“Heh~ Ye Jinghuai, is it? You just wait!”
