Chapter 449: Mengmeng’s Birthday
As he looked at the keyboard and the washboard on the ground, Ye Chen was stunned. He had just mentioned it casually, but Su Yuhan had taken it seriously.
“You said you were going to kneel on a durian, but it’s late at night, and there’s nowhere to buy it for you, so I replaced it with a washboard.” Sensing his embarrassment, Su Yuhan’s delicate dimples flashed with a mischievous expression.
Ye Chen’s face turned red. Did he have to pay for what he had done?
If he really knelt down, Ye Chen’s status in the family would decline greatly from now on. If outsiders knew that the undefeated Ye Chen of China was actually subjected to this, they would laugh to death.
Upon thinking of this, he immediately smiled awkwardly. “What? Wifey…”
“Stop!” Su Yuhan snorted. “Who’s your wifey? We’re not even married yet.”
“Wifey?”
This time, Su Yuhan turned her head away and did not look at him.
“Dear?” Ye Chen called out again shamelessly.
She still ignored him. In her nude-colored pajamas, she looked extraordinary under the dim light.
Without caring anymore, Ye Chen took off his shoes and disarmed himself before jumping on the bed.
“Wh-what are you doing?”
“Today, I’ll show you what a husband is!”
..
Half an hour later, Ye Chen leaned against the headboard of the bed and lit a cigarette up. He looked at Su Yuhan who had gone limp in his arms. “How is it? Are you convinced?”
Su Yuhan hummed and hid under the quilt.
“Can you call me your husband now?” Ye Chen reached his hand in to tease her.
“Are you seeking death?” Su Yuhan slapped his hand away and said, “Ye Chen, aren’t you ashamed?”
After saying that, she lifted the quilt and pushed him aside. Then, she did a headstand with her legs on the wall and her head on the bed.
“Where did you learn this new position?” Ye Chen could not help but chuckle.
“Bah!” Su Yuhan rolled her eyes at him and her face turned red. She stammered, “I-I heard that…the probability of getting pregnant is higher this way.”
Ye Chen was embarrassed. “Who told you that?”
“Ah, don’t ask.”
Perhaps because she was a little annoyed by the question, she returned to her normal position and sat on the bed. She looked at Ye Chen seriously and said, “Recently, Mother has been pestering me and asking when I plan to have a second child…”
“Isn’t that normal? The old folks want another grandchild.” Ye Chen did not know whether to laugh or to cry.
Su Yuhan was furious. “What’s normal? Don’t you know how terrifying Mother is? She asks me every few days. You don’t know the expression she gives me. One moment she suspects that there’s something wrong with my body, then the next moment, she suspects that there’s something wrong with you.”
When she told him this, she was a little mad. “The worst part is that she bought a lot of Chinese herbal recipes from God knows where and makes me drink them without any explanation. She even said that the daughter-in-law of the neighbor next door ate these herbs and got pregnant. She even gave birth to a tubby boy…”
Ye Chen was speechless. “If that’s the case, then Mother is indeed a little too much. It’s fine. I’ll find a chance to talk to her later.”
“Forget it. Mother means well. If you tell her, she’ll think that I told on you.” Su Yuhan shook her head hurriedly. “I’ll drink all the Chinese medicine that Mother has brewed before. Anyway, I don’t dare to taste any of it.”
Ye Chen was speechless.
While he was in a daze, Su Yuhan stood on her head again. Her long legs were very straight against the wall. “Ye Chen, you said that we’ve been reunited for a long time, haven’t we? We’ve done a lot of such things, but why don’t we have a child yet?
“Is there really something wrong with our bodies? By the way, stop smoking. Put out the cigarette.”
She started to have all kinds of wild thoughts. If all the employees in her company saw this scene, their jaws would have probably dropped to the ground.
“Ha, woman!” Ye Chen did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “Don’t worry, you and I are fine. The reason why there’s no movement is probably because we don’t have the fortune for the time being. When we have the fortune, we will naturally have it.”
He was already in the Foundation Building stage, so it was even harder for him to get Su Yuhan pregnant. This was also why it was said that there were always five flaws and three shortages in the life of a cultivator.
Moreover, he now felt that Mengmeng was a good child. The little girl was smart and sensible, and she was her father’s thoughtful little chubby girl.
“Oh right, I want to discuss something with you.”
At this point, Su Yuhan seemed to have thought of something and she sat down again. “Mengmeng’s fifth birthday is on the eighth of next month. How do you plan to celebrate for her?”
“I haven’t thought about it yet. Why don’t you ask our daughter later? After all, she’s the birthday girl.” Ye Chen shook his head slightly.
At his current stage, he did not lack money. The little girl was well-dressed and well-fed. He would give her whatever she wanted. Even if she wanted the stars in the sky, Ye Chen would think of a way to get them for her.
“Okay, I’ll ask her tomorrow. Before that, you aren’t allowed to tell her about this. We have agreed to keep it a secret and we’ll give her a surprise.” Su Yuhan nodded and said, “Go to sleep. I have an appointment with someone tomorrow. I’m going to take Mengmeng to sign up for special classes.”
“Special classes?”
“Yes, for example, piano, painting, and so on. Anyway, I want my Mengmeng to become an all-rounded genius so that she will have a brighter future.”
When he saw her serious expression, Ye Chen thought for a while and did not stop her. Forget it. He would let her be. As long as she was happy, it was fine. Besides, although his daughter did not go down the path of cultivation, she had eaten so many pills from him. Therefore, there was no pressure for her to cultivate.
..
The next morning, after the whole family had left, Ye Chen stood at the entrance of the villa. He looked up at the Nine Dragons Bay in front of him with a thoughtful expression.
“Now that I have broken through to the Foundation Building stage, I can use the Nine Dragons Bay to set up a formation. Although this place isn’t rich in spiritual energy, it’s still better than other places. If I find some medicinal herbs to plant in the lake and use the formation, the spiritual energy in this place will definitely increase greatly.
“When that time comes, even if my parents don’t cultivate, with the nourishment of the spiritual energy, there won’t be any problems in my body. On the contrary, it won’t be a problem for me to live for more than a hundred years.
“Furthermore, even though the Lei family’s 13 gangsters have been taken care of by the Patriarch of Hell and the others, there’s no guarantee that there won’t be people who have evil intentions against my family in the future. Therefore, this array has to have a protective function.”
Ye Chen secretly made up his mind.
He was no longer afraid of anyone. Nevertheless, he was still worried that the other party would use his family members to threaten him, so he had to take all kinds of drastic measures. After all, he could not always stay by his parents’ side.
