The Villainess is Three and a Half Years Old - Chapter 51-3

He couldn’t help but glance over at the little girl.

She was sitting on the floor, sharing toys with Xia Qing. Her hair was unkempt and messy, covering her small face. Her clothes had not been washed for a long time and were crumpled, with a stain on the sleeve, probably from eating.

Without a nanny to take care of them, even the prettiest little girl could become a dirty little monkey.

He looked at his youngest son, who was also disheveled. Then he looked at himself, wearing flip-flops and oversized boxers, the typical attire of middle-aged men.

Ye Linchuan’s throat tightened, and he quickly averted his gaze.

“I know Yaya is only three years old, and sometimes there’s no need to distinguish between boys and girls, but with so many children, it’s better to be careful…” Shu Meichen whispered. “I really like Yaya, so I have these concerns. Of course, if Mr. Ye is unwilling, I won’t force it.” She finished speaking and waited quietly for his answer.

Ye Linchuan’s Adam’s apple rolled as he stared at Ye Ya without saying anything.

The little chubby girl looked even cuter now, with a round face and fluttering eyelashes.

If Shu Meichen had asked him this before, he would have agreed without hesitation. But now… he felt somewhat reluctant.

“Dad, don’t let Yaya go,” Ye Qinghe couldn’t sit still and hurried over, “I can give Yaya a bath.”

Shen Ran also spoke up, “I’ve been washing my own hair since I was very young, I can also wash Yaya’s hair, and I can wash her clothes too.”

The brothers looked at Ye Ya with affection.

Ye Ya was their little sweetheart, their little cotton jacket. Anyone could leave except for Ye Ya.

Ye Linchuan remained expressionless and still did not make a statement.

A minute passed, he raised his hand and said, “Ye Ya.”

When Ye Ya heard her name, she raised her head and walked over to the two of them.

“Do you want to go with Xia Qing’s mother to stay with her for a while?” Ye Linchuan handed the decision over to the little girl.

In fact, he was certain that Ye Ya would not leave. After all, she loved Ye Qinghe as if she loved anything. She would never leave her brother to go to someone else’s house.

Ye Ya chewed on her fingers when she was uncertain. If it were before, she would definitely not be willing to go, but now… she wanted to go and earn milk money for her brother and Ziyu. Ye Linchuan made it clear that if he was not willing to be her guardian, Yaya had no choice but to secretly ask Xia Yu for help, and even if she couldn’t go out on weekends, she still had no choice.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Ya decided to temporarily say goodbye to her brothers and go to Xia’s mother’s house. When the time comes, she will ask Xia Yu for help, and she can earn money by going out to play on weekends without worrying about Ye Linchuan disagreeing.

She was really a clever little fox!

The meticulous plan made Ye Ya excited. She raised her hand high and said, “Go go go, Yaya will go to Xia’s mother’s house! Yaya wants to live with Sister Xia Qing!”

As soon as the words were spoken, Ye Linchuan’s expression sank, and the faces of the other brothers underwent a tremendous change.

“I’ll go pack my things!” Ye Ya turned around and ran into the room. She ran fast, slipped and fell to the ground, quickly got up, and stumbled into the bedroom.

The living room was full of dark clouds, and except for Xia’s mother and daughter, everyone’s face didn’t look good.

Ye Ya quickly came out carrying her small backpack, and walked to Xia’s mother with excitement, “Sister, I’m ready.”

Shu Meichen touched her head and stood up, “Then… shall we take Yaya away first?”

Ye Linchuan remained silent.

Shu Meichen took Ye Ya’s little hand and asked, “Is there anything else Yaya wants to say to everyone?”

Ye Ya walked up to Ye Qinghe with her schoolbag strap in hand, and she kindly reminded him, “Brother, you need to eat well. I’m leaving now, you don’t have to worry about me.” After saying that, she waved her hand and walked towards the door without looking back.

Xia Qing looked at everyone and made a face at them while holding Ye Ya’s hand.

Her provocative attitude made Ye Ziyu and Shen Ran both anxious, and they quickly tried to stop her by saying, “Yaya, don’t go!”

“What will we do if you leave?” Ye Ziyu asked. “Are you leaving because I don’t have any toys for you to play with now?” He immediately thought of this possibility.

Every time they spoke, Ye Ya shook her head.

Shen Ran’s breathing became rapid. He turned his gaze and saw Xia Qing sneaking a smile on the side, looking very pleased with herself. His face twisted instantly as he pointed at Xia Qing and yelled, “I know, it’s you who tempted Yaya!”

Xia Qing’s smile froze.

“I saw you two being sneaky at kindergarten today. You must have tricked Yaya into leaving with you!” Shen Ran accused.

Xia Qing was not willing to take this lying down and retorted, “Shen Ran, don’t talk nonsense. It’s Yaya who wanted to play with me and didn’t want to be with you boys!”

“Boys? Stinky boys?” Ye Ziyu and Shen Ran both lowered their heads and sniffed themselves.

Where did they smell bad?

“You must have kidnapped Yaya with money!” Ye Ziyu widened his eyes. “Money…money is everything, huh?” He then fished out two crumpled one-yuan bills from his pocket and rummaged through his pants pocket, gathering five large bills in total. He stuffed all the money into Ye Ya’s hands and said, “I have money too, enough to buy an ice cream stick. Stay here and don’t go to her house.”

The five yuan they collected looked really shabby, making the two adults unable to bear looking at it. They both facepalmed at the same time.
