Chapter 32: Grown Up in the Gaps of Love

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Third Bub, are you done with school? Hurry up and come home. I’ll introduce you to your pretty sister. She’s your classmate. You’ll definitely like her as much as Mommy.”

Ye Moqing scoffed. Pretty sister? Wasn’t she just some girl they adopted in Luo City?

“Did you hear that? Hurry up and come back! Bring a gift as well…”

“Got it.” Ye Moqing hung up impatiently.

What d*mned adopted daughter? She took away the meager amount of love his parents had for him the moment she arrived!

He had two older brothers and a younger brother. Daddy and Mommy only had eyes for each other. He had practically grown up in the gaps of love!

Now that there was an adopted daughter, he suddenly wanted to be even more rebellious!

Ye Moqing found his off-road vehicle and sped out of the school gate like an arrow, scaring the students by the roadside into screaming.

Even the security guard was waving his baton in warning.

Ye Moqing acted as if he did not see anything. The moment he sped out of the school gate, he was a speed demon incarnate.

Xia Jinmian had barely reached her ride when she saw the off-road vehicle blazing down the road. Passers-by got out of his way in panic.

Her beautiful eyes narrowed. What’s this guy’s problem now?

“Sister!”

Xia Jinmian snapped back out of her thoughts when she heard his adorable voice. She caught the little munchkin as he jumped out of the car and climbed into the car.

“What has Bubba been up to at home today?”

“Bubba was also studying, but is different from yours. You have to go to school to study, but Bubba has a private tutor at home to teach him.”

Xia Jinmian clicked her tongue silently. Perks of the wealthy—the teacher made house calls for one-on-one teaching.

“Why doesn’t Bubba go to kindergarten?”

Ye Moliang hugged her arms and said disdainfully, “Bubba won’t go. They’re a bunch of little dum-dums. They don’t even know how to memorize the multiplication table and only know how to cry.”

Xia Jinmian was speechless. It was not that his schoolmates were stupid, but that he was too smart.

“What are Uncle and Aunt doing at home today?”

Ye Moliang pouted. “All they do is play. They’re even more playful than Bubba. They are lazybones who sleep in till the sun is high in the sky.”

Xia Jinmian chuckled and asked casually, “Doesn’t Uncle have a job?”

“Yes, Daddy’s job is to play with Mommy.”

“…”

Xia Jinmian stopped asking. This display of affection was a little disconcerting.

Suddenly, Xia Jinmian inadvertently noticed a few cars overtaking their car quickly from the corner of her eye. They seemed to be chasing after the car in front.

She immediately turned around. When she saw the man in black in the car, her pupils constricted.

It was the Skeleton Mercenaries!

A cold glint flashed across Xia Jinmian’s beautiful eyes.

The Skeleton Mercenaries had appeared very frequently recently! Who was instigating them?

Their car was driving in the same direction as the Skeleton Mercenaries.

10 minutes later, Xia Jinmian saw six cars surrounding Ye Moqing’s off-road vehicle on the lawn by the roadside.

This was a scenic area in the mountains and only a road cut through the landscape of grass. It was a place with few visitors at this time.

It was obvious that someone had planned the ambush and hired the Skeleton Mercenaries to ambush Ye Moqing on his way home.

“Eh? What are they doing?”

Ye Moliang was very curious and peeked out. Xia Jinmian pressed his little head back down.

“Your Third Brother is ambushed. Don’t worry, I’m here!” Xia Jinmian smiled confidently and said to the driver, “Uncle Song, stop by the side.”

Song Qing had noted the ambush too. Although he was a driver, he was very capable.

No one in the Ye family—not even the servants—was simple.

When he stopped the car and was about to get out to help Third Young Master, he heard the clear voice of the girl in the backseat.

“Uncle Song, please lock the door after I get out of the car. Don’t let Bubba get out. I’m worried that he’ll get hurt.”
