It was already eight o'clock in the evening when the two of them rushed to the hot pot restaurant with their daughter.
There are still many customers in the hot pot restaurant.
When Ye Shengsheng was about to take his daughter and Ye Che directly to the private room, Tang Yining's shout suddenly came from not far away:
"Sound..."
Hearing this, Ye Shengsheng searched for the sound and looked over.
Seeing it was Sister Ning, she greeted her with a smile.
"Sister Yining, why are you here? Are you alone? Where are Xiaobei and Wanjun?"
Tang Yining smiled softly, "They will be here in a few days. Your store is opening today. I'll come over and take a look."
"Thank you, Sister Yi Ning."
Seeing Murong Nan standing next to him, Ye Shengsheng was a little curious.
"You two..."
Why did they come together again?
"Oh, your brother specially treated me to a meal to thank me."
Tang Yining responded casually and glanced at the man next to her unconsciously.
Murong Nan stood up and met Ye Shengsheng, "Has sister had dinner?"
Ye Shengsheng ignored him and took Tang Yining's hand.
"Sister Yining, let's go to the private room over there. Today is Lianlian's birthday. Let's celebrate her birthday by the way."
Tang Yining understood and followed Ye Shengsheng to leave.
In fact, Murong Nan just told her about Lian Lian's birthday, and she went out to buy a gift in the afternoon.
Knowing that Sheng Sheng would come with her child, she kept waiting for her in the store.
Seeing that his sister still didn't want to pay attention to him, Murong Nan sighed and followed them.
Ye Che didn't know that today was his daughter's birthday.
When he walked into the private room with his daughter in his arms, he saw many flowers and balloons arranged inside.
And when Gong Yu was already waiting with the cake, his handsome face, which had finally softened, suddenly became cold again.
He thought Gong Yu had left.
Unexpectedly, I came here early to prepare a birthday surprise for my child.
"Happy birthday, little Lianlian, look at the birthday cake that your uncle prepared for you. Do you like it?"
Little Lianlian was still sitting in Daddy's arms, looking at the cake brought by Uncle Gong, she smiled and nodded:
"Yeah, I like it."
"Then let's go down and open the gifts, okay?"
Now the little guy was willing to leave Ye Che again, and he was led obediently by Gong Yu to open the pile of birthday gifts in front of him.
Ye Che was left alone, feeling a little uncomfortable.
He turned around to leave and hurriedly went outside to buy a gift for his daughter.
But they met Ye Shengsheng and Tang Yining again.
"Ye Che is here too."
Tang Yining laughed, looked at the girl beside him, and then at Ye Che.
Will these two get back together again?
Gentleman Ye Che nodded, looked at Ye Shengsheng and said:
"I'm going out for a while and I'll be back in a while."
Ye nodded loudly, "Yeah."
After watching Ye Che leave, she didn't look back for a long time.
Tang Yining asked her: "What happened to you two? Are you reconciled?"
After reacting, Ye Sheng shook his head, "No."
"Then how come you get along so harmoniously?"
"He knows that Lianlian is his daughter."
Ye Shengsheng said casually.
How could she and Ye Che be harmonious? They were just playing the role of parents for the sake of their daughter.
Tang Yining's expression changed, and she immediately raised her hands and swore:
"I didn't say that. I promised you to hide it. I didn't mention a word when I met him."
Ye Shengsheng laughed and pulled her into the private room, "I know you didn't say that."
Seeing his daughter and Gong Yu opening gifts together, Ye Shengsheng smiled and greeted her.
"Lianlian, do you like the gift mom prepared for you?"
The little girl was holding a limited edition doll and raised her head to look at her approaching mother.
"Yeah, Lianlian likes it very much."
She glanced around the whole room, but didn't see Daddy. Suddenly she didn't like the gift, so she threw it away and ran out.
Ye Shengsheng didn't even notice her move, but Murong Nan caught her in time.
"What are you doing out Lianlian? Today is your birthday, and uncle has prepared a birthday gift for you."
"I don't know you."
Xiao Lianlian grabbed Murong Nan's hand, looked at Ye Sheng and shouted:
"Where is Mommy and Daddy? He was clearly here just now. Does Daddy not want to be in love again?"
Ye Shengsheng hurriedly went over to hug her.
"No, he will just go out and be back soon."
"You lied. Dabi will definitely not want Lian Lian anymore. Lian Lian will go to Dabi."
The little guy was struggling in his mother's arms, trying to run out and find his father.
How could Ye Shengsheng allow her to go out? He picked her up and sat on a chair aside to coax her.
"Lianlian is obedient. He will come right away. Look, there are many balloons and flowers here, all for Lianlian."
Gong Yu immediately came over with another exquisite gift box and presented it to the child.
"Look, Lianlian, there are good things inside. Please take it apart and take a look."
Murong Nan also took out his gift, "Lianlian, this is given to you by your uncle.
And these are given to you by your grandparents."
In order to comfort the child, Tang Yining also gave him something he prepared.
"Xiao Lianlian, aunt gave it to you. Please open it and see if you like it."
Suddenly there was a pile of gifts in front of him, but Xiao Lianlian was not interested at all.
She shook her head, wrinkled her little face and cried into Ye Shengsheng's arms.
"I don't want it, I just want Daddy. Mommy, please call Daddy back, wuwu..."
Ye Shengsheng hugged her daughter tightly, feeling that there was nothing she could do.
Why is this child so inseparable from Ye Che now?
The two of them obviously didn't get along for a long time.
Even if father and daughter were connected, they wouldn't be so inseparable.
Ye Shengsheng didn't know if Ye Che would come back, so she coaxed her daughter softly.
"Lianlian opens the gifts first. After opening the gifts, your father will come back. Then we can give your favorite gifts to your father, okay?"
"I don't want to, I want dad to compete."
The little guy started to lose his temper, struggling and crying in Ye Shengsheng's arms.
"I don't want you, I just want my daddy, wuwuwu... daddy... dadby..."
Seeing his daughter like this, Ye Shengsheng was a little angry.
She said with a cold face: "Then do you want him or me? You have only been with him for a few days and you can't live without him.
Mom raised you so openly? You just want to follow him and don’t want your mother, right?"
It was the first time that little Lianlian heard her mother yell at her.
She suddenly stopped making trouble, but she pouted her lips and shed big tears uncontrollably.
She sobbed and said sadly:
"Can't Lianlian want daddy and mommy together? Why can't Lianlian only choose one when other children have daddy and mommy?
Lian Lian loves Mummy very much, but Lian Lian can’t bear to let Daddy leave. Lian Lian can’t be happy without Daddy by Lian Lian’s side.”
She knew her mother would be angry if she made such a fuss.
So after she finished speaking, she lowered her head and didn't dare to make any more noise, but she couldn't help but shed tears.
Ye Shengsheng looked at her pitiful appearance and felt heartbroken.
She hugged her tightly again, her voice low and hoarse:
"I'm sorry Lianlian, it's my mother's fault."
The three people next to me felt very uncomfortable looking at it.
For such a young child, parental love is indeed indispensable, otherwise it will cause harm to her soul.
Murong Nan said, "I'll go out and look for him to see if he's gone far away."
Gong Yu also hurriedly brought the cake, "Xiao Lianlian, let's have something to eat first, okay? You try this, it's delicious."
The little guy doesn't eat and doesn't pay attention to anyone.
Tang Yining hugged the child and said, "Come Lianlian, let Auntie hold her."
While hugging her, I couldn't help but wipe the tears from her face.
Ye Shengsheng sat next to him, not knowing what to do.
She really didn't expect that giving the child to Ye Che for a few days would make the child have such a deep affection for him, and now she can't live without him.
What should I do if I can't live without her? Let her forget the past and live with Ye Che to give her daughter a complete home?
She didn't know if she could do it.
But now, she still can't forgive that man for hurting Murong Qi.
…
Ye Che bought a beautiful Barbie doll, a bouquet of flowers, and a small cake.
When I was carrying it back to the hot pot restaurant, I received a call from the hospital halfway.
On the other end of the phone, the doctor said worriedly:
"Mr. Ye, please don't delay and come for treatment as soon as possible."
Ye Che said: "I don't have time now. Doesn't this disease mean that I have to stay in the hospital every day? You look for the heart first, and I will do the surgery after you find it."
"Then can you ensure that you feel comfortable and happy every day? The most taboo thing about your disease is unhappiness. Any sadness at all will aggravate the condition.
I’m afraid it won’t be helpful to find the heart by then.”
Ye Che, "I try to be happy every day."
"Yeah, but you should come here regularly for treatment, otherwise we're afraid you won't be able to survive for long."
Without treatment or medication, it would be difficult to maintain his condition for even one year, let alone two years.
The doctors didn't understand why they were so busy that they didn't have time to go to the hospital even though they were seriously ill.
Ye Che hung up the phone and raised his hand to press on his heart.
It seems that when he is in a bad mood, it does hurt.
But when I'm in a good mood, I don't feel anything at all.
In order to spend more time with his daughter, he will naturally be happy every day.
As for that woman, he shouldn't care about it, she should be out of mind.
Carrying the things he bought for his child, Ye Che hurried back to the private room of the hot pot restaurant and saw several people surrounding the child, coaxing him.
The little guy didn't know why, so he started crying.
He hurriedly walked over and shouted: "Lianlian..."
When Xiao Lianlian saw Daddy coming back, she hurriedly pushed away a few people around her and rushed towards him.
"Daddy, daddy, where have you been? Lianlian thought you didn't want Lianlian anymore.
Dad, please don’t abandon Lianlian in the future, okay? Lianlian wants to be with you forever."
Ye Che put down the things in his hands and picked her up with a gentle smile in his eyes.
"Dad didn't even know that today is our little princess's birthday, so he went out to buy a gift for the little princess."
He pointed to the gift he bought for his daughter on the table.
"Do you like it? Today is too sudden, and dad has no preparations. Can I prepare other things for you another day?"
Xiao Lianlian was not interested in the gift at all. She put her hands around Ye Che's neck and said pitifully:
"Lianlian doesn't need any gifts, Lianlian just wants daddy and mommy to be with Lianlian forever."
Listening to this, any parent can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Children who grow up in single-parent families may only desire the love of their parents the most.
Ye Che raised his hand to rub the child's head and looked at the people around him.
"It's getting late, so hurry up and light the candles so that the children can have a sense of ceremony. After that, go back and rest early."
While talking, he didn't even look at Ye Shengsheng.
Murong Nan and Gong Yu started sorting things out.
Tang Yining also noticed that Ye Che was a little strange.
Looking at the girl next to her again, and taking her eyes away from Ye Che, she went to pack away the gifts from Xiao Lianlian next to her.
All the work was ready, the candles were lit, and the lights in the private room were turned off.
Several adults surrounded Xiao Lianlian, came to her with cakes in their hands, smiled and coaxed:
"Lianlian, today is your birthday. I heard that making a wish by a candle on your birthday will be very effective. Come on, let's make a wish."
Xiao Lian Lian understands this link.
She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and spoke out her wish loudly.
"I hope that daddy and mommy can sleep with Lianlian every day in the future.
I hope Mommy will give me a little brother compared to Dad.
I hope daddy and mommy will always be fine, never quarrel, never separate, never abandon their love.
hope……"
"Ahem, Lian Lian, you can't express your wish, otherwise it won't be effective."
Ye Shengsheng couldn't listen to what her daughter said and interrupted her quickly.
The little guy opened his eyes and glanced at mommy, very curious.
"If I don't say it loudly, how will the Bodhisattva know what I want?
All I want is what I said."
Ye Shengsheng said, "..."
This little guy must have done it on purpose.
Unconsciously, she glanced at Ye Che.
The man didn't care, he didn't even look at her, he only focused on his daughter.
Little Lianlian ignored Mommy and started blowing out the candles by herself.
After the candles went out, the lights in the private room turned on, and the little guy rushed over to Ye Che to hold him.
Ye Che hugged her and sat eating cake.
Ye Shengsheng felt like nothing happened to him.
The same goes for several people nearby, especially Gong Yu, who is in the most embarrassing situation.
Especially when I heard the wishes made by my children.
If he is interested, he can stay where he can to cool down.
But he was unwilling to do so.
He just wanted to try it again.
So he stepped forward, cut a piece of cake, and brought it to Ye Shengsheng.
"Shengsheng, you have been busy all day, sit down and have a good rest, and try my handiwork by the way."
Ye Shengsheng knew that the cake was made by Gong Yu himself, so she took it and smiled lightly, "Thank you."
I took a bite and it tasted really good.
She gave Gong Yu a thumbs up, "Great."
Gong Yu laughed, "Really? If Shengsheng likes to eat, I will make it for you often in the future."
Seeing some cream stained on the corners of her lips, Gong Yu carefully raised his hand to wipe it for her.
This move made Ye Shengsheng somewhat uncomfortable, but she did not avoid it for a while.
So much so that when others saw it, it was somewhat ambiguous and intimate.
Even though Ye Che was feeding his daughter, he still saw it from the corner of his eye.
Seeing Gong Yu's tenderness towards the woman, she happily accepted it without rejecting it.
Maybe she really wanted to be with Gong Yu.
Thinking of this, Ye Che suddenly felt that his chest, which had been feeling heavy all the time, became more congested again.
Especially his bloody heart, it felt like it had been whipped, and the waves of pain made it difficult for him to breathe smoothly.
Tang Yining saw that his face was not good and asked with concern:
"Ye Che, are you okay? Why is your face so white?"
After hearing this, Ye Shengsheng looked at Ye Che.
Ye Che also glanced at Ye Shengsheng unconsciously, but hurriedly avoided it and said in a deep voice:
"It's okay. Lianlian needs to go to bed early. You can play while I take her home first."
He knew he couldn't stand that woman having contact with any man.
Just one look at him makes him crazy with jealousy, and he gets emotional easily.
Out of sight and out of mind, why not let him go?
Little Lianlian was happy to leave with her dad. Even if it was just the two of them, she wouldn't cry.
Ye Shengsheng wanted to follow, but thinking of Sister Yining beside her, she had to say:
"Then Sister Yining, let me take you to the hotel."
Before Tang Yining could answer, Murong Nan came over and said:
"Sister, I will send her there, you should follow and take care of Lianlian."
Tang Yining is a smart man, so naturally he doesn't want to waste his time.
She laughed and said, "Don't worry about me. If your brother says to send it to me, let him send it to me. You can go back with Ye Che."
"Oh, okay then, I'll leave first."
As soon as Ye Shengsheng stepped forward, Gong Yu followed quickly, "I'll see you off Shengsheng."
Ye Shengsheng suddenly stopped walking and looked at Gong Yu.
"Why don't you and Sister Yining stay in the hotel together? My place is too narrow and a bit..."
Having said this, Gong Yu naturally knew what it meant.
He smiled sadly, nodded and said:
"Okay, I won't disturb your family of three. Goodbye then."
These words were obviously made out of anger.
But Ye Shengsheng didn't pay attention and quickly followed Ye Che's pace.
Gong Yu was left standing at the door of the store, his eyes full of sadness.
Why?
Why can't he get any favor from her no matter what he does?
How is he worse than Ye Che?
It was obvious that they were destined to be together.
Shengsheng was obviously engaged to him.
He was unwilling to do so.
Not convinced either.
No matter what, he will use any means to steal his voice.
