Daughter?
The moment Nangong Qianyu saw Xiao Ai Yin, a possibility immediately sprang to her mind. Fang Junxue and Bai Qiushui, standing beside her, shared similar expressions.
They had only been out for a few hours, so how could they return with a daughter?
Hmm!
They had to admit, she was quite cute!
"Boss... Boss! Who... who are these people..."
Lyensennt's eyes nearly popped out as he looked at the women of varying figures before him.
Could it be that these ladies were all...?
He stole a glance at Ye Ming, clearly finding it hard to believe.
Was this still their former "cold and aloof" boss?
"Hahaha! Daughter?"
Hearing this, Ye Ming couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Looking at my age, do you think I could have a daughter this old?"
"Uh!"
At Ye Ming's words, the women suddenly came to their senses.
"Then who is she?"
Bai Qiushui stared at Xiao Ai Yin's small face, wishing she could pinch it.
"Well! You can consider her my younger sister!"
Ye Ming said with a slight smile.
Sister!
Now that the misunderstanding was cleared, Nangong Qianyu happily ran over, intending to pick up Xiao Ai Yin.
However, she was disappointed.
Xiao Ai Yin's wariness of strangers still made Nangong Qianyu's attempt unsuccessful.
"Little sister! Don't be shy! Sister has lots of delicious snacks, do you want some?"
Nangong Qianyu pulled out some snacks she carried with her and tempted her.
To her, dealing with a child was a piece of cake.
After all, no child could resist the allure of snacks.
As expected, Xiao Ai Yin's eyes lit up. She reached out, then hesitated.
"Ai Yin! This is your Sister Qianyu! Don't worry!" Ye Ming encouraged from the side.
Xiao Ai Yin would be living with Nangong Qianyu and the others for a long time to come. Ye Ming naturally wanted her to integrate into the family quickly.
"Sis... Sister Qianyu!"
Xiao Ai Yin called out softly.
This one sentence almost melted Nangong Qianyu's heart.
"Wow! Oh my heavens! I can't take it! How can her voice be so lovely!"
Nangong Qianyu snatched Xiao Ai Yin from Ye Ming's arms, feeling incredibly fond of her.
Although Xiao Ai Yin was still a bit nervous, she felt a familiar aura from Nangong Qianyu and became less resistant.
Bai Qiushui on the side looked eager to try.
Even Fang Junxue couldn't help but cast a few more glances.
"Right! Let me introduce you!"
Ye Ming patted Lyensennt's shoulder and said, "This is my brother, Lyensennt! I found him as a helper from the temple!"
"Uh! Then... umm! Sisters-in-law, hello!"
Lyensennt scratched his head, feeling quite uncomfortable.
If the Battle God Guards had seen Lyensennt at this moment, their jaws would have dropped.
Sisters-in-law!
Hearing these words, Nangong Qianyu and the other women blushed slightly, but they didn't object.
Ye Ming also wore a wide smile.
Grumble grumble!
At this moment, a strange sound echoed.
Everyone's gaze turned to Nangong Qianyu upon hearing the sound.
It was her stomach growling.
"I..."
Feeling the strange looks from others, Nangong Qianyu became flustered and embarrassed, her pretty face flushing red. She pointed at Ye Ming and said, "Look! Stop staring! Hurry up and make dinner!"
In the end, she could only vent her anger on Ye Ming.
What else could Ye Ming do but obediently become the cook?
However, Nangong Qianyu's words completely shocked Lyensennt.
In his memory, when had his boss ever been so "submissive"?
"Absolutely cannot anger these grand dames!"
At this moment, Lyensennt had drawn a red line.
If even his boss couldn't afford to offend them, what about him...?
He dared not think about it!
"Alright! Xiao Ai Yin! Let's go! Sister will take you to play!"
Nangong Qianyu hugged Xiao Ai Yin and headed upstairs. Bai Qiushui, who had been holding back her excitement, naturally followed.
Fang Junxue, however, maintained her composure.
In fact, the first time she saw Xiao Ai Yin, she had a very peculiar feeling.
As for what that feeling was, she couldn't quite explain.
The answer, of course, had to be sought from Ye Ming.
Lyensennt, with nothing else to do, lay on the sofa, watching some shows.
...
In the kitchen.
"So Xiao Ai Yin has been through so much!"
After Ye Ming told her about Ai Yin, Fang Junxue sighed.
At the same time, she understood the strange feeling she had earlier.
It was a resonance unique to spirits.
Ye Ming, while chopping vegetables, said, "Don't tell Qianyu and the others about Xiao Ai Yin's situation yet, lest they worry unnecessarily."
Given Nangong Qianyu and Bai Qiushui's kind and gentle natures, they would surely be saddened to learn of Xiao Ai Yin's experiences.
Therefore! It was better they didn't know!
"Mhm!"
Fang Junxue understood this point as well.
"It's alright! You don't need to worry too much! I will find a way to resolve Xiao Ai Yin's matters!"
Although Fang Junxue didn't say it, Ye Ming understood her well enough to know that she would inevitably feel some concern.
"I believe there will be a way!"
Fang Junxue looked at Ye Ming, who was chopping vegetables, her gaze gradually softening.
An hour later.
Ye Ming had prepared four dishes and one soup, each dish exuding a tempting aroma and appearance.
Nangong Qianyu, who had been starving and whose stomach was rumbling, couldn't wait any longer.
However, at this moment, Ye Ming poured cold water on her. "Take it easy! We still have a live stream later! Save some space in your little stomach!"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Qianyu, who was about to devour the food, immediately deflated.
Looking at the feast on the table, she finally began to eat slowly.
This, however, did salvage some of her ladylike image.
After the meal, just as Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu were about to go live, they suddenly realized a problem.
What about Xiao Ai Yin?
If Ye Ming left, Xiao Ai Yin would surely be uneasy.
At this moment, Fang Junxue crouched down, looked at Xiao Ai Yin, and said softly, "Xiao Ai Yin, your Brother Ming needs to go out to work. Should you wait obediently for him to come back at home?"
"Work?"
Xiao Ai Yin held Ye Ming's hand, her large eyes fixed on him.
Ye Ming crouched down, stroked her little head, and smiled. "Yes! Brother needs to work and earn money to buy you lots of delicious food. Will you let Sister Junxue and Sister Qiushui stay home with you, okay?"
Xiao Ai Yin seemed to ponder for a moment, then nodded. "Mhm! Ai Yin will be good and obedient!"
"Good! Xiao Ai Yin is so good!"
Peck!
Ye Ming gave her a kiss as a reward, and then he and Nangong Qianyu left the villa.
Xiao Ai Yin watched their retreating figures, her eyes showing reluctance.
But more than that, there was strength!
