The Villainess is Three and a Half Years Old - Chapter 51-4

Ye Ya didn’t want the money and pushed it back, saying, “I don’t want to eat ice cream.”

Xia Qing continued, “Yeah, Yaya and I will have Häagen-Dazs instead.”

Ye Ya wrinkled her nose and said, “I don’t want to eat Häha-Dazs either.”

Ye Ziyu exploded, covering his head and screaming, “I won’t listen, I won’t look, I won’t leave, Yaya won’t leave!”

“Brother, you promised me before…” Ye Ya’s words instantly made Ye Ziyu regain his composure. He had promised at the cemetery that he would take his medicine and take care of himself, and not cause any more trouble. But he still felt aggrieved in his heart. After glaring fiercely at Xia Qing, he turned around and rushed back to his bedroom, locking the door behind him.

The matter had settled, and Ye Ya followed beside Aunt Xia as they walked out of the house. From behind came Shen Ran’s angry shout–

“Xia Qing, you are the most scheming girl in the world! I even went through childbirth for you!”

“I don’t want to be your friend anymore! I don’t want to have a baby with you anymore!”

…Something’s not right.

Shen Ran clenched his fists in anger as he watched them leave, “I declare that our relationship has come to an end! When we play house, I will be Wang Mengmeng’s wife and not yours!”

…??

It’s getting stranger and stranger.

Xia Qing didn’t even bother to turn around, “Fine, then I’ll go find Liu Zipeng to be my wife. I don’t want to play house with you anymore. Bye.”

Bye…??

Shen Ran took a few steps back, heartbroken.

With the rupture of the main characters’ relationship, Side Quest 01 assigned by the system was completed at the same time. Listening to the familiar sound of the system prompt, Ye Ya felt relieved and her eyes and brows curved. She suddenly felt that she could earn money for her brother and save her mother at the same time.

After Ye Ya left, the room suddenly became much emptier and colder. The toys she had just played with were scattered on the floor, and even her favorite glowing cat hat had not been taken away. Everyone had gotten used to the little girl’s presence, and now that she suddenly left, they felt that something was missing.

Ye Qinghe stared at the toys on the ground for a few seconds, then turned to the entrance to change shoes.

“Where are you going?” Shen Zhou asked.

“To bring Ye Ya back.” Ye Qinghe grabbed the keys. “Yaya is still a child who doesn’t know any better. She just acted on impulse. She’ll regret it and cry later.”

Shen Zhou was about to offer to go with him when a strong voice came from the side.

“Stop.”

Ye Qinghe looked over.

The man leaned against the chair, switching channels with the remote one by one. “She has made her decision. It’s her own business if she regrets it later. There’s no need to indulge her.”

“Dad…” Ye Qinghe said weakly. “Yaya is still a child.”

“What’s the difference with the child?” Ye Linchuan didn’t care at all. “Since she can speak and think, she is an independent individual and should take responsibility for her own actions. She made the decision, you don’t need to get involved.”

Ye Qinghe bit her lip. “Yaya isn’t used to living with others. I… I’m also worried about her being at someone else’s house.”

Ye Linchuan sneered when he heard her. “The Xia family’s house is much more spacious than ours. Your worry is unnecessary.”

A variety show was playing on the television, with comedians making funny faces and the audience laughing uproariously. Ye Linchuan was feeling irritable, so he turned off the TV and walked towards the room. Ye Qinghe ran after him, unwilling to give up. “Don’t you really worry about Yaya? Not even a little?”

Ye Linchuan stopped in his tracks, and his hand, which was resting on the door frame, tightened. He turned his head to look at her and said, “Instead of worrying about her, you should worry about us. Besides…” He curled his lips. “Why should I worry about her?”

Ye Qinghe was suddenly speechless and stared at him in silence.

Right, he had forgotten that his father didn’t like Ye Ya from the beginning, and had forgotten about Ye Ya’s special identity and existence.

Ye Linchuan closed his eyes, about to close the door, when he heard Shen Zhou’s surprised voice, “Yaya?”

Ye Qinghe’s shoulders trembled as she turned to look.

The door was not fully closed, and the little girl was standing at the doorway with a slightly furrowed brow, her mouth turned down, and her round eyes without a smile. Her expression looked a bit wronged.

Ye Ya didn’t say anything, and instead put on a kitten hat that had fallen off accidentally. She shook her head from side to side after turning on the light, taking out a small bamboo board and singing in a childish voice:

“Life is like a play, we meet because of fate;”

“Growing together ‘til we’re old, we should cherish it today.”

“Don’t get angry and run away; it’s unnecessary at the end of the day.”

With a snap, the small figure disappeared outside the door.

Leaving a few people staring at each other in the room.

After a few seconds of silence, Ye Linchuan said, “What did she mean just now?”

Ye Qinghe replied, “Self-consolation, you’ll get used to it.”

Children always have some small temper, and hearing his father speak like that, Ye Ya must be unhappy.

Ye Qinghe sighed, but it wasn’t entirely Ye Ya’s fault for leaving. Who would want to be with a father like him who didn’t even have a good face on a regular day? It’s good that she left, at least she doesn’t have to worry about her father getting angry and coming to find her.

“I’m going back to do my homework.” Ye Qinghe finally felt relieved and turned to leave.

“I’m leaving too.”

All the children left, leaving Ye Linchuan alone in the empty room, lost in thought.

He took a deep breath and suddenly felt very stuffy.

What did all of this mean? Why did it seem like he was the one who drove people away? Clearly, it was that little brat who didn’t want to endure these difficult days.

Ye Linchuan suppressed his dissatisfaction and slammed the door shut with a loud noise.

More than an hour later, Ye Ya, who was feeling dizzy from the car ride, finally arrived at Xia’s. Coincidentally, Xia Qing’s uncle Xia Yu was also there.
