“Uncle, my birthday is on June 16th,” Yu Xiaobao said sweetly while looking at Wen Ye.
Wen Ye nodded without hesitation, “That’s quite a coincidence. You, Dabao, and Zhanyan all share the same birthday?”
He still hadn’t grasped the fact that they were triplets.
Yu Dabao’s eyes rolled all the way to the sky.
Yu Xiaobao covered her mouth, giggling gleefully. She continued to sway and playfully look at Wen Ye.
“What’s the matter?” Yu Xiaobao’s behavior left Wen Ye baffled.
Now, Yu Xiaobao looked at Wen Zhanyan seriously and said clearly, “Uncle, you heard correctly, I was born in 2015!”
“Then you’ve just turned six this year, just like Zhanyan and Dabao.” Wen Ye still didn’t get it.
“Stupid through!” Yu Dabao was speechless.
Yu Xiaobao propped her chin on her hands, still grinning. She then leaned in and whispered in a secretive tone, “Uncle, come closer, let me tell you a secret.”
Wen Ye was taken aback, startled by Yu Xiaobao’s next words. He looked utterly horrified, “Xiaobao, what did you say? When were you born?”
Yu Xiaobao patiently repeated herself.
Wen Ye was stunned, finding it hard to believe what he had just heard.
He looked at Yu Xiaobao in shock and then at Yu Dabao, who was leaning against the wall. It was obvious that Yu Dabao had no intention of explaining to Wen Ye.
“You guys… you guys…” Wen Ye stuttered and could not say a word for a long time.
Yu Xiaobao embraced Wen Ye’s neck once more, as if confiding a precious secret, “Uncle, I have a secret to tell you. Dabao, Zhanyan, and I are triplets.” Wen Ye who was shocked, was speechless.
“So, uncle, you have to keep our secret.” Yu Xiaobao earnestly nodded at Wen
Wen Ye was utterly befuddled.
Three… triplets… Oh my god…
This revelation was beyond shocking!
Yu Anwan hadn’t taken away one, but two children. In this comparison, Wen Jin was left at a complete loss!
Wen Ye felt that only by searching for Jesus, God, Buddha, and Guanyin would he be able to regain his composure.
“Uncle, do you need some quick-acting heart-saving pills?” Yu Dabao finally interjected with concern, “If you do, I can ask a doctor to prescribe them for you.”
Wen Ye, who was practically in need of such a pill, was speechless.
The sheer magnitude of this revelation was too much.
This was too much information.
After a considerable pause, Wen Ye finally found his voice, “You guys… You guys are triplets… That means Big Brother… and sister-in-law… It’s not…
This… ”
His words remained incoherent.
Yu Xiaobao couldn’t contain her amusement at Wen Jin’s reaction.
Yu Dabao was straightforward, “Mommy doesn’t know that we’ve come to see Grandpa, and she doesn’t know that you’re aware of this. Daddy doesn’t know either. He thinks Mommy only gave birth to one child. So, Uncle, you have to keep this a secret. Otherwise, your life won’t be easy either. I don’t think you’d want to choose between mining in Africa or establishing a new company in
South Africa.’
“Of course!” Wen Ye readily agreed.
“Very well.” Yu Dabao nodded contentedly. “Now, we’re all in the same boat!”
Wen Ye, feeling like he had been pushed onto a thief ship, could only lament.
Sob, sob, sob… When the time comes to silence him, could it be quick and painless?
Yu Xiaobao couldn’t wait any longer. “Uncle, hurry, let’s see great-grandfather and then we have to leave. It would be troublesome if Mommy finds out.” Yu Dabao had already started walking towards the elevator.
Wen Ye followed them without a second thought. Inside the elevator, he finally snapped back to reality, his gaze shifting between the two Yu siblings.
“No, wait, how will we explain if the Wen family sees Xiaobao?” Only now did Wen Ye realize this critical point.
Yu Dabao was frank, “Uncle, if Xiaobao gets exposed, that just proves how useless you are.”
Utterly useless, Wen Ye sighed.
This… Wasn’t this preparing for the worst-case scenario?
“Even if we do get exposed, I’m not afraid,” Yu Xiaobao said sweetly to Wen Ye.
Wen Ye was taken aback. Yu Xiaobao covered her mouth and giggled, “Just say that I’m your illegitimate daughter.”
Whe Ye was left speechless.
It would be better not to… If Wen Jin ever found out, it wouldn’t be as simple as just being sent to South Africa. He might end up in a terrible state.
Too terrifying.
Wen Ye pondered silently, and coincidentally, the elevator arrived at the floor where Wen Zhanming was located.
At this time, members of the Wen family were not around. Without hesitation, Wen Jin quickly guided Dabao and Xiaobao toward the Intensive Care Unit.
When they reached the disinfection area, Yu Xiaobao obediently put on a mask to prevent herself from being recognized.
“Xiaobao, your great-grandfather hasn’t woken up yet, so you can go in. But when he wakes up, you’ll need to come out,” Wen Ye explained as he crouched down, adjusting Yu Xiaobao’s mask with care.
Yu Xiaobao nodded earnestly. “I got it.”
Wen Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief. Unlike Yu Dabao, who didn’t wear a mask, the three of them entered the ICU.
Throughout, Yu Xiaobao remained cautiously trailing behind Wen Jin. The camera feed had already been tampered with by Yu Dabao, erasing this segment of the recording.
Inside the ICU.
“Great-grandfather, please wake up soon.” Yu Xiaobao gazed at the frail elderly man with reddened eyes. Her voice quivered as she spoke, “When you wake up, I’ll bring you some Gummy Bears. They’re really tasty.”
As she tried to coax Wen Zhanming, Yu Xiaobao’s small, tender hand tightly held onto his.
“Mommy is incredibly skilled, so if Mommy says you’ll get better, then you definitely will!” Yu Xiaobao’s voice was like a gentle encouragement to Wen Zhanming.
Her soothing words dispelled the heaviness in the ICU, warming the hearts of those present.
In this poignant moment, Yu Dabao and Wen Ye stood quietly, not interrupting Yu Xiaobao’s heartfelt words.
Yu Xiaobao and Wen Zhanming had a lot of conversations, chattering away, which was reminiscent of Yu Anwan.
When Wen Zhanming’s hand stirred slightly, as though sensing something,
Wen Ye instantly grasped the situation. He swiftly lifted Yu Xiaobao, stating, “Xiaobao, it seems like great-grandfather is waking up. Let me take you out first! ”
Yu Xiaobao obediently nodded, demonstrating her understanding and compliance.
But she couldn’t resist adding softly, “Great-grandfather, please get well. I’ll come to visit you again.”
Without hesitation, Wen Ye immediately carried Yu Xiaobao and exchanged a knowing glance with Yu Dabao.
With a grunt of acknowledgment, Yu Dabao conveyed his understanding.
Wen Ye was relieved and carried Yu Xiaobao out of the ICU.
Yu Xiaobao rested her head on Wen Ye’s shoulder, her gaze still fixed on Wen Zhanming’s direction. Her genuine concern was evident..
