Chapter 692: (Can't They Be Normal Children?)
Chapter 692 (Can't They Be Normal Children?)
On the large bed in the sleeping chamber, Qing Ya nestled in Ye Hua's embrace and murmured, "Baizhi went to see our son early in the morning again."
Ye Hua slowly opened his eyes, his right hand twirling Qing Ya's beautiful hair as he casually replied, "I don't know what Baizhi is worried about. I think Shen'er is doing fine, working hard and deserving praise."
Qing Ya lightly tapped her husband's chest and said, "How can you understand the thoughts of us mothers?"
"What are your thoughts then?" Ye Hua asked.
"Of course, we hope our child can grow up happily. Just look at Shen'er, he doesn't even play with Ah Li and Yan'er. He always keeps to himself. Baizhi is naturally worried," Qing Ya said in a somber tone. She then touched her own belly, feeling concerned as the child's birth was approaching. If they gave birth to a child with a personality like Shen'er's... well...
Ye Hua didn't think their son was at fault. They were just overly concerned.
"Alright, it's a good thing that the children have their own personalities. In the end, they are siblings," Ye Hua softly said, not taking it to heart.
Qing Ya sighed helplessly.
At this moment, Donghuang Baizhi entered with a worried expression and slipped into the bed, hugging her husband tightly.
"Ah Li and Shen'er seem to be having a disagreement," Donghuang Baizhi softly said. It made her uncomfortable to see their own children like that.
"What happened?" Ye Hua curiously asked.
Donghuang Baizhi explained the situation.
Ye Hua thought it was nothing. It was just a daily refusal. Their youngest son had a strong personality, which suited his taste.
"Baizhi, don't worry too much," Ye Hua comforted in a soft voice. He could tell that the Empress was quite depressed this month.
Donghuang Baizhi whispered, "I'm afraid they won't get along as siblings."
Ye Hua fell silent. Ye Shen had a solitary personality, often practicing alone and not playing with his siblings. Ye Hua could understand because he had been the same in the past. However, as a mother, Donghuang Baizhi found it distressing.
"Qing Ya, your due date is approaching, right?" Donghuang Baizhi reminded.
Qing Ya nodded, "Yes, it's almost time. Our little girl is about to be born."
Indeed, Qing Ya was expecting a daughter this time. They would have one son and one daughter, making it relatively harmonious.
Ye Hua smiled and said, "Great, once they are born, I can finally relax."
The two wives glared at Ye Hua, their aura becoming more alluring.
Oh~
Just as everyone was about to get up, Qing Ya suddenly frowned and groaned in pain.
"Qing Ya, what's wrong?" Donghuang Baizhi asked anxiously.
Qing Ya's face showed some pain, "You were right. It's coming."
"Ye Hua, quickly call Yutong for help," Donghuang Baizhi urgently said.
Ye Hua nodded and called for Yutong to come and assist with the delivery.
This time, Ye Hua was very reassured. After the incident last time, Qing Ya's side effects had been eliminated, so that situation wouldn't occur again.
Ye Hua stood anxiously outside with their three children.
Ye Shen stood by his father's side, his cold and aloof demeanor mirroring his father's, his face devoid of any unnecessary expression.
Donghuang Li and Ye Yan, on the other hand, were much more lively, complementing the personalities of their siblings.
Not long after, the sound of a baby crying came from the room.
Ye Hua relaxed a little; everything went smoothly.
Donghuang Li and Ye Yan rushed in, while Ye Hua calmly entered the room with Ye Shen respectfully following behind.
"Brother-in-law, come and see," Qing Yutong held her sister's daughter and called out to Ye Hua.
Ye Hua, somewhat concerned about the issue of their personalities, immediately looked at the daughter in Qing Yutong's arms.
He saw the little one lying quietly.
This...
Her expression was exactly the same as Ye Shen's.
"Yutong, let me see," Qing Ya also became worried, especially after seeing her husband's expression. Donghuang Baizhi, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but glance at her son, who was standing obediently.
It was really giving them a headache.
Donghuang Li and Ye Yan also rushed to see their little sister. When they saw her expression, they were instantly shocked.
"Isn't this the second Ye Shen?"
Donghuang Li patted Ye Yan's shoulder and said, "It looks like it'll just be the two of us playing from now on."
Ye Yan also gave up hope for his own younger sister. She would definitely be a mini-version of Ye Shen in the future.
It seems that factions will have to be divided in the future.
The conversation of the little ones was overheard by the adults, and they seemed helpless.
From their personalities, it could be seen that they would split into two groups when playing in the future.
Ye Hua, who was standing nearby, also began to take this issue seriously.
"Ye Hua, what should we name our daughter?" Qing Ya, holding her daughter, asked her husband, leaving the decision to him.
Ye Hua pondered for a moment and slowly replied, "Ye Liu." [Yè means "leaf" or "leaves."
Liú can mean "colored glaze" or "jade-like." It is often used in names and can connote beauty, elegance, or preciousness. Therefore, the name "could be interpreted as "leaf-colored glaze" or "jade-like leaf."]
Upon hearing the name chosen by her husband, Qing Ya smiled and looked at her daughter in her arms, saying, "From now on, you will be called Ye Liu."
The little one showed no expression, her face calm and unchanged.
This made Qing Ya also feel melancholic. She looked at Ye Shen, then at the gloomy Donghuang Ah Li and Ye Yan next to her. How could it be like this...
Perhaps Ye Liu was still young, and things would improve in a few weeks.
However, a month passed.
On another warm morning, Donghuang Ah Li and Ye Yan walked out of the room rubbing their eyes, looking at the two small figures in the garden. They didn't feel like talking anymore.
Ye Shen and Ye Liu in the garden gazed at each other lightly, sweat beads glistening on their foreheads.
"Liu'er, you're too slow," Ye Shen said softly, teaching his younger sister.
Ye Liu appeared indifferent. "Brother, there are benefits to being slow. Haven't you still not beaten me?"
"Liu'er, I'm just going easy on you."
"No need." Ye Liu said calmly, raising her chin slightly, displaying a cold and proud demeanor.
"Good! That's my sister!" Ye Shen said with a light shout, a burst of spiritual energy emanating from his small body.
Ye Liu's gaze sharpened, and she lightly swung her wooden sword, blocking her brother's sudden attack.
"Cough cough cough!!" Donghuang Li walked over with Ye Yan, then let out a heavy cough.
Ye Shen and Ye Liu put away their wooden swords and stood side by side obediently, shouting, "Good morning, sister, and brother."
Donghuang Li stood with her hands on her hips, assuming the role of the older sister. She walked between the two of them and patted them heavily, saying, "Keep it up. The future of the Ye family relies on the two of you."
Ye Shen said solemnly, "Sister, rest assured, little brother will defend the glory of the Ye family with his life!"
"Sister, brother, rest assured, sister and the glory of the Ye family will live or die together!" Ye Liu appeared incredibly serious, without any hint of joking.
Donghuang Li's mouth twitched slightly. She had just casually said something, and yet they took it so seriously. Couldn't they just be normal children?
