âYanâer, come quickly. Your dad has good news for you!â Wang Li welcomed her daughter home with great joy.
She also knew that Ye Tian would help Li Yanâer be selected as a professor.
Thus, she was overjoyed and couldnât wait to tell her daughter the good news.
âMom, I know the good news you guys are about to say. But while you guys are in a good mood, Iâm afraid I have bad news to tell you!â Li Yanâer walked over to her.
As there was going to be a new family member soon, she intended to take advantage of the moment to tell her parents about her failure to be chosen.
Although she had failed this time, she was sure they wouldnât be too disappointedâŠ
âYou already knew?â
âBad news?â
For a moment, Wang Li and Li Shan beside her froze.
After all, the couple intentionally kept the surprise a secret until now so that their daughter would be surprised, but they hadnât expected that their daughter already knew.
Anyway, although her daughter knew this, it didnât affect their celebration at all.
Young Master Ye was very good at what he did. Something difficult for them to achieve, but he did it so quickly!
Nevertheless, they wondered what the bad news was.
Though the university approved their daughter becoming a professor, she faced bullying behind the scenes. They thought this to themselves.
âYanâer, whatâs the bad news youâre talking about? Did anyone bully you in school again?â Wang Li hurriedly asked.
She was afraid that Li Yanâer was bullied.
âDonât worry. Itâs not that serious. Well, âŠI failed the selection for becoming a professor this time tooâŠâ She stated, observing the two eldersâ reactions.
She had expected them to be disappointed, then comfort her.
Er⊠Usually, thatâs how things unfold.
And they had done this beforeâŠ
But this time, after she said she had failed the selection, the old couple said nothing.
Moreover, they neither showed disappointment nor comforted her!
Instead, they stared at her puzzledly.
Seeing this scene, Li Yanâer couldnât help but feel dismayedâŠ
Even if they would have a baby soon, they shouldnât act like this, right?
âAhem⊠Mum and Dad, Iâll go back inside first. You guys call me if you need anything.â
Li Yanâer coughed awkwardly and turned around to leave.
âWait a moment.â
Li Shan stopped Li Yanâer and asked suspiciously, âYou just said you already know the good news. How do you know?â
âOf course, I guessed it. After all, how could you all be so happy because⊠Li Yanâer confidently continued, âThereâs going to be another member in our family, right?â After saying that, Li Yanâer turned red and pretended to be angry.
âBut you two are too much. Even if you have a baby soon, you canât treat me like this, right? Iâm very sad. â
âA-a baby? You think your mom and IâŠ?â Suddenly, such a thought crossed Li Shanâs mind.
Wang Li also understood this moment and immediately got up and hit Li Yanâs hand, displeased.
âYou little brat, you dare to flirt with your parents!â
âOuchâŠâ Li Yanâer covered her arm with an upset look on her face. âWhoâs flirting with you guys? Thereâs nothing to be embarrassed about.â
âWho told you that you were going to have a baby?â
Li Shan stared at Li Yanâer speechlessly and explained, âItâs true that there is an extra family member, but itâs not your younger sibling. I have a new brother, and you have an extra uncle!â
Pfft!
Li Yanâer, who was drinking water, was immediately dumbfounded by her words.
What the hell?
She had an uncle?
Could it be that grandpa was⊠Thatâs too much, isnât it?!
But what about Grandma? Shouldnât she be admitted to the hospital for maternal care?
âYou silly girl, whatâs been going on in your head all day long? The brother, your dad, is talking about is a brother he met today. He is a big shot.â
Mothers understood what their daughters were thinking, so, seeing Li Yanâerâs eyes still rolling around, Wang Li knew that her daughter misunderstood again.
âA big shot?â
Li Yanâer was somewhat disappointed. She thought there was some shocking secret.
After that, they spent half the day discussing how her father had befriended a big shot.
âSo thatâs it? I thought it was you and DadâŠâ
Seeing that her mother was about to hit her hand again, Li Yanâer hurriedly changed the subject and said, âI donât care if you guys are looking for brothers or something. Anyway, I wonât call someone an uncle. What if that person is even younger than me? Wouldnât that make me feel embarrassed?â
âWhatâs wrong with being younger than you? You donât even know what kind of status he has. He just became your uncle and gave you a big gift!â
Li Shanâs face expressed displeasure as he continued, âYou overthink. In my heart, I was convinced he was your uncle. Also, someone with such an influence might not even acknowledge us!â
âSo, he is younger than meâŠâ
Li Yanâer didnât expect her casual remark to hit the mark and was even more upset.
After thinking about it, she said, âIf you want me to call him uncle even though he is younger than me, itâs impossible. After all, the only person in the whole of Yun City worthy of being called uncle by me is a young master of the Ye family!â
After completing her sentence, Wang Li, not waiting for Li Shan to say anything, replied joyfully, âWhat a coincidence, your uncle is Young Master Ye!â
