“What?” Tang Yuanyuan thought she had misheard him. Why would Little Bean ask her how much cotton candy she wanted?
“Are you going to buy it for me, Little Bean?”
“You don’t want it?”
“But…” Tang Yuanyuan bit her fingers hesitantly as she gave him a pitiful look. “You only promised to buy me chocolates. Although I do love cotton candy, I also love chocolates too.”
The most important thing was that she did not know which one to choose.
If she were to choose cotton candy, Little Bean might not buy her chocolates anymore.
Seeing through her hesitation—after all, this little girl wore her heart on her sleeve—he went to grab a few packets of cotton candy and placed it in the trolley. “In that case, we’ll buy both chocolates and cotton candy, and…”
Suddenly, he tugged on Tang Yuanyuan’s hands, saying, “Don’t bite your fingers. It’s very unhygienic.”
“Okay.” In an instant, Tang Yuanyuan withdrew her hands, stood up straight and obediently agreed. “I’m sorry, Brother. I won’t do it again.”
After Little Bean had bought cotton candy and chocolates for Tang Yuanyuan, she looked at him almost reverently.
As he walked together with the short and chubby little girl, Little Bean suddenly asked, “Do you want to play some games?”
Tang Yuanyuan’s face lit up with a curious and excited look. Seeing that, Little Bean couldn’t help but curl his lips upward. “Come, I’ll take you.”
When Tang Yuanyuan heard that, she felt grateful toward Little Bean. Not only did he buy her cotton candy and chocolates, he even took her to play games.
The little girl was so touched that she reached out and hugged Little Bean by his arms, leaning entirely on him.
“Thank you, Brother.” Tang Yuanyuan’s voice was all soft and gentle.
Little Bean then took her to play for quite some time. The chauffeur who was waiting started to become anxious, and wondered if something had happened to the both of them. Just as he was about to enter the shopping mall in search of them, he received a phone call from Han Muzi.
“Young Lady Ye. Yes. Little Young Master is in the mall. He said he wanted to buy some chocolates. Yes, he has entered the complex but hasn’t returned for a long time.”
Originally, Han Muzi just wanted the two of them to get along well. But when she returned, to her surprise, she couldn’t find the two of them anywhere. It was only after asking around that she knew that Little Bean had gone out with Tang Yuanyuan.
She was really worried and anxious. It was fine when Little Bean ventured out alone as usual, but how could he bring someone else’s daughter along with him? So, she immediately called the chauffeur.
After hearing from the chauffeur, she was still worried. “The complex is crowded and is like a maze. Even though Little Bean is smart, they are still two little children. Plus, Tang Yuanyuan…”
With those short little legs of hers, how could she run if they faced any danger?
The chauffeur could hear the anxiety in Han Muzi’s voice. He assured her, “Don’t worry, Young Lady Ye. Little Young Master is quick on his feet, I’m sure nothing will happen to them. I’ll go in at once to search for them.”
“Alright.”
Hanging up the phone, the chauffeur was getting ready to enter into the building in search for the two children.
As soon as he took a few steps out from the car, he saw Little Bean walking out from the complex, but this time, the two of them did not walk out together.
Tang Yuanyuan had fallen asleep and was clinging to Little Bean’s back. Her chubby little arms were wrapped around his neck, and she was fast asleep on his back.
Although Little Bean was carrying a chubby little girl on his back, he managed to walk steadily without wobbling.
The chauffeur hurried toward them and opened his mouth to speak. However, Little Bean made a hand gesture to silence him. Seeing that, the chauffeur had no choice but to remain silent and proceeded to open the car door for them.
After buckling up a sleeping Tang Yuanyuan, they departed for Seabay Villa.
At night, the President of Tang Group and his wife went to pick up Tang Yuanyuan. Both husband and wife felt extremely nervous when they entered the house, their hands fidgeting the whole way.
Even though Tang Group was a very profitable group, they were nothing compared to Ye Group.
When the couple first heard Ye Moxuan had come over to look for Tang Yuanyuan, even initiating to matchmake both their children together, they were shocked to the core. President Tang’s wife even thought there was a hidden agenda behind all this.
But after they got to know Ye Moxuan’s character better, the couple was relieved.
When Tang Yuanyuan hadn’t returned home, the couple gave a call and went over personally to pick her up.
Looking around Seabay Villa, the couple could only lament on the fact of poverty limiting one’s imagination. Only the Ye Group could achieve such an accomplishment, building a place as grand as Seabay Villa by the sea.
Previously, the Tang couple had never thought that they would one day be associated with the Ye Group. They were happy even with a business relationship between the Ye and the Tang Group. One could easily imagine President Tang’s elation when Ye Moxuan went to visit him.
“This huge household is certainly different from the rest,” President Tang whispered softly as he led his wife along.
“Of course. The decorations and displays here are all very valuable. What if our Yuanyuan offends them by accident? If that were to happen…” At this point, President Tang and his wife became a little fearful.
“She’ll be fine.”
President Tang waved his hands. “Our Yuanyuan is only a foodie. She just likes to eat a little more. Other than that, she is always courteous and polite. You’ve taught her well.”
President Tang was right. Upon hearing this, Mrs. Tang felt a sense of relief.
After this, the couple went in to pick up Tang Yuanyuan, and Han Muzi came out personally to welcome them. She was dressed casually in a light gray knitted outfit, and her waist-length hair was twisted into a half-bun, making her seem all the more gentle.
President Tang’s wife stared at Han Muzi. She never knew Young Master Ye’s wife was so beautiful.
Noticing her stare, Han Muzi touched her face and asked cautiously, “I’m sorry, but I was in a rush when I came out. Is there something on my face?”
Startled, President Tang’s wife waved her hands quickly. “No. There’s nothing on your face. It’s just that you’re so beautiful, Mrs. Ye, and I got distracted for a moment.”
Han Muzi never thought that Mrs. Tang would get distracted by her looks. After all, it had been some time since someone complimented her. Immediately, the corner of her lips curled upward and her mood lifted.
“Mrs. Tang, you’re too kind. You look beautiful too.”
In the face of Han Muzi’s generosity, President Tang’s wife seemed reserved, probably because she was in the Ye Family’s house.
“How could I? I can’t compare with you, Mrs. Ye. Did Yuanyuan give you a lot of trouble? This child can’t help herself when it comes to food.”
Having said that, President Tang’s wife laughed embarrassedly.
At this moment, a soft voice floated over.
“Daddy. Mommy.”
Tang Yuanyuan rubbed her bleary eyes as she walked to her parents on chubby little legs.
Seeing her, Mrs. Tang knew immediately that Tang Yuanyuan had fallen asleep at President Ye’s house, which made her feel even more awkward. “Yuanyuan, my dear child. How could you fall asleep in someone else’s house?”
