Chapter 686 - Auntie Mao Told Young Master and Young Mistress To Go In
Xixi rested her head on Ye Yuwei’s shoulder and played with her own hands while giving her brother cold stares.
Ye Xicheng massaged the bridge of his nose awkwardly. Fine, he might have been too much this time.
After some thinking, Ye Xicheng ran on the sofa towards his sister. “You are not fat at all, Xixi. You are just cute and are my cutest little sister,” said Ye Xicheng as he held Xixi’s hands.
“It’s too late now.” Xixi let out a humph as she flung Ye Xicheng’s hands off her and buried her face against her mother’s shoulder.
Gu Juexi swiftly reached out to catch Ye Xicheng who had lost his balance and almost fallen off the sofa when Xixi flung his hands off her. Gu Juexi caught Ye Xicheng and put him down on the sofa.
It all happened in a blink of an eye. Before anyone could react, Ye Xicheng was already sitting down properly on the sofa.
Ye Xicheng’s mind had gone blank too. He really thought that he was going to fall off the sofa, and the old meatball had been sitting at the other end of the sofa at that time.
How fast he must have been.
Ye Yuwei quickly looked at Ye Xicheng and put down her daughter. “You pushed your brother?”
Xixi was also stunned at what had happened, and answered uncertainly, “I didn’t mean to…”
“I am fine, Mommy,” said Ye Xicheng quickly. He was sure that Xixi did not notice that he was standing on the sofa when she flung his hand off.
Before Gu Juexi could say anything, Ye Yuwei carried the two of them, one in each hand, and put them down in the corner of the living room. “What is wrong with the two of you today?”
Ye Xicheng lowered his gaze silently. Xixi stumbled on her own feet, but quickly stood up straight and lowered her head too quietly.
Gu Juexi wanted to say something but was stopped by Wen Jie. “It’s okay. Parents and children learn from each other. Parents teach them the rules, and they teach parents patience. You can’t spoil them forever.”
Gu Juexi swallowed his words. He had had time-out too when he was little, punished by his mother.
“Haven’t I told you not to push each other in dangerous places?” Ye Yuwei squatted down in front of her daughter and asked sternly, and continued after seeing Xixi nod, “What if Daddy wasn’t there just now? You brother might have gotten hurt from falling off the sofa. Do you want Brother to get hurt?”
“No,” answered Xixi softly.
“And you. What did I say about not standing on something high, especially at the edge?” Ye Yuwei asked Xicheng, her tone just as stern as when she asked Xixi, showing that she was not biased towards either of her children.
Wen Jie looked at Ye Yuwei teaching her children and sat down on the sofa. “The two of you are just like your children. Fight all the time and neglect what is important,” said Wen Jie.
“What are you saying, Mom?” Gu Juexi frowned. How was he the same as the children?
“Anyway, it’s great that the two of you are here now. Can you get Auntie Mao please, Butler Kim?” Wen Jie asked as she patted Gu Juexi’s hand. “Auntie Mao wanted to tell you something.”
Gu Juexi remembered Auntie Mao wanted to see them but it had to be delayed until now because things kept coming up and he and Ye Yuwei were not always together.
Butler Kim went to Auntie Mao, came out again very quickly, then said to Wen Jie, “Mistress, Auntie Mao told young master and young mistress to go in.”
Looked like Auntie Mao didn’t want what she had to say to spread.
Ye Yuwei told her children to stay at the corner and wait for her to come out, and entered Auntie Mao’s room with Gu Juexi.
