CH 42.3

Ye Ya unscrew the lid and put Ye Linchuan’s hand on her lap, carefully coloring his nails.

Barbie pink’s nail polish was gorgeous and dazzling, and it had a unique charm with Ye Linchuan’s strong hand bones.

After applying the fingers and feet, Ye Ya put on a mask and lovingly put green on the toes.

Mother said, red paired with green looks as beautiful as jade.

So beautiful, just like a princess~

“Good night, princess.” Ye Ya covered Ye Linchuan with a quilt, yawned, and fell asleep.

It was early dawn, and bursts of bells cut through the silent morning.

A ray of sunlight penetrated through the gap in the curtains, gentle and charming.

Ye Linchuan’s head hurt badly. He woke up from a hangover with his eyebrows twisted. He groggily felt something pressed on his arm, making his arms sore and painful. Ye Linchuan turned his eyes and looked. A sleeping face broke into sight without warning.

The little girl slept with hair all over her shoulders. She was obviously fat; her face was more rounded than when she first came, and she was chubby like the character in a cartoon.

Ye Linchuan was taken aback for a moment, and after reacting, he not-so-gently pushed the child away from him.

He sat up and looked at the strange layout of the room in a daze.

——This is the brat’s room?

Ye Linchuan had never been here before and had no impression of everything.

In the confusion of his thoughts, there was a small dream talk next to him.

“I can’t find the toilet…”

Hmm?

“I found it!” Very happy.

!!!

Ye Linchuan’s heart skipped a beat. He picked up Ye Ya and ran to the bathroom.

“Little Yaya, it’s time to get up and get ready to go to kindergarten.”

The door opened, and the nanny walked in with a smile.

Ye Linchuan breathed a sigh of relief, and calmly pointed to Ye Ya, who was half-dreaming and half-awake, “Take care of her.”

“?”

The nanny was in a daze.

Ye Linchuan picked up the leather shoes on the ground and left the room expressionlessly.

The phone in his pocket continued to ring, he picked it up impatiently, glanced at it, and suddenly noticed the changes on his fingers and toes.

This was nail polish.

The pink color was even painted out.

Ye Ya did this!!

Ye Linchuan’s face was distorted, and anger was surging in his eyes.

“Mr. Ye, are you there?”

Ye Linchuan took a deep breath, “I’m here. Speak.” Maybe it was because he drank too much alcohol, his throat was sore the entire day.

The secretary’s voice was tight, “We have received a subpoena from the court.”

Ye Linchuan’s breathe tightened.

“Shengjiang Bank and four other companies sued you, and now Mr. Zhao and the rest of the directors are waiting for you to go over.”

Ye Linchuan didn’t say a word, his lips curled tightly in a straight line due to his dark mood.

His left hand holding the phone kept tightening, the blue veins on the back of his hand bulged, and his fingers were slightly red. After a long time, he only said five words, “I’ll be there right away.”

The phone hung up. Ye Linchuan went back and changed into a suit, and hurriedly took the elevator.

“Father! I’m going to school today!”

The moment the elevator opened, Ye Ziyu’s eyes lit up as he ran towards him, and he said excitedly, “Father, won’t you send me to school?”

Ye Linchuan lowered his head and picked on the nail polish on his finger. He had something on his mind, so his ears automatically blocked all sounds from the outside world.

“Father?” Ye Ziyu stood by Ye Linchuan’s side, “Why are you ignoring me? Can you send me to school? It won’t take you long.”

The call came again urgingly. Ye Linchuan felt like a mess.

“Mr. Ye, there is a problem with the fund, if you don’t pay back the funds…”

“I see.” Ye Linchuan interrupted, “I’ll deal with it right away.”

“Father……”

“I said I know!!” The chattering noise completely broke his long-taut nerves. Ye Linchuan shook away Ye Ziyu’s hand on his arm, and strode away without even looking at him.

Ziyu fell to the ground and looked at his father’s distant figure in a daze.

Om——

His ears began to ring, violently.

Ye Ziyu clutched his ears tightly to block the sound, but it was useless. It was useless.

His heartbeat was fast, like a drum breathing in chaos.

“Ziyu?”

“Ziyu, are you okay?” Ye Qinghe, who had just come down from downstairs, ran to Ziyu’s side, “Ziyu, looked at me.”

His eyes were empty, and there wasn’t any more joy in his expression.

Mornings were high-incidence periods of illness, and Ye Qinghe knew that he had become ill again.

“Auntie, auntie, go get the medicine…”

As soon as Ye Qinghe’s voice fell, Ye Ziyu, who was squatting on the ground, reacted. He lightly stroked his brother’s hand and stood up indifferently from the ground, “I’m fine, really.”

“Ziyu…” Ye Qinghe murmured with his lips, unable to say a word of comfort.

In this family, no one needs his father’s company and hugs more than Ziyu.

He was very lonely, and illness and pain would always devour him when he was alone.

“How… how about you stay home today and not go to school?” Ye Qinghe sat next to Ziyu and stared at him tenderly, “When you get better, we could…”

“Sure, I’m fine.” Ye Ziyu looked at him with calm eyes, “Brother, thank you for taking care of me.”

Ye Qinghe didn’t expect him to say this suddenly, and he was startled.

There was a smile on his beautiful face, very bright and clean, never before.

“Brother has to study well in school. I won’t go today.” After speaking, Ziyu returned to his room with his schoolbag.

Ye Qinghe was concerned no matter how much he tried to comfort himself. When he left for school, he made sure with everyone in the house again to take care of Ziyu. He stayed until he was about to be late, then he took Ye Ya and left home.

But at around 5:30 in the afternoon, Ye Qinghe received a call from the nanny at home.——

[Ye Ziyu is missing.]
