The system tried its best to suppress the excitement surging inside.
"Little one, what’s your name?" Ye Yixing greeted him.
Next to him, Little Su Hua looked up, and Ye Yixing noticed, surprised, that this little girl also bore some resemblance to Lu Yun.
Could it be that these two kids are Lu Yun’s illegitimate children?
While harboring this suspicion, Ye Yixing dismissed it.
Lu Yun had never had a woman by his side from childhood to adulthood; it’s impossible for him to have illegitimate children out there. Perhaps these two kids just happen to look like him.
Suddenly, another bizarre thought popped into his mind.
Rather than resembling Lu Yun, these two little ones look more like Lu Zhichen, the eldest cousin...
Seeing the two children were wary of him, Ye Yixing tried hard to put on a good-natured facade.
"Little friends, Uncle is not a bad person!"
The system also reminded him in his mind.
"[Young host, I told you, he’s your dear little uncle’s cousin, not a bad guy, he’s your family.]"
Little Su Luo’s eyes revealed a trace of confusion.
Is what this Xi Tong said true?
"[Oh my, you’re so little yet so clever, your vigilance is too strong! You don’t trust even me, the system, or your cousin uncle, yet you easily believe your malicious little aunt. Your little uncle is the one who treats you best in the world, a thousand times, ten thousand times better than your little aunt!]"
Upon hearing it mention his little aunt, Little Su Luo’s face turned red and his neck stiffened.
"Don’t talk bad about my little aunt!"
"[My little aunt is the one who treats us a thousand, ten thousand times better.]"
The system nearly went mad with rage at his words, calling the little fool a name.
Facing Ye Yixing, who was startled by the child’s sudden loud voice, he said the word "little aunt," prompting him to ask, "Who is your little aunt?"
"My little aunt is my little aunt, and you are not allowed to speak ill of my little aunt!" Little Su Luo looked at him unhappily.
I’ve never even met your little aunt, how could I badmouth her?
Were it not for how you look like Lu Yun, I would have punched you already.
Seriously, being wrongfully accused out of nowhere.
When has Ye Yixing ever been subjected to this kind of treatment?
Ye Yixing pondered it, pulled out his phone, and wanted to take a picture of these two little ones to send to Lu Yun.
Seeing him about to take photos, Little Su Hua quickly blocked him, saying, "Uncle, what are you doing?"
"Hmm, can Uncle take a picture of you both?" Ye Yixing asked patiently.
Little Su Hua shook her head, "No."
Little Su Luo: "Don’t take our pictures!"
The system panicked: "[Little ancestors, just let him take a photo, he really is half a family to you.]"
Little Su Luo snorted.
"[Our only family is little aunt.]"
Ye Yixing was amazed these two little ones actually refused, feeling indescribable.
Indeed, he could secretly snap the photo without them noticing, but seeing their faces somehow similar to Lu Zhichen’s...
Forget it, he would just take the photo.
After all, he wasn’t exactly a good guy.
While raising his phone stealthily, he pretended to ask, "Where is your mom? Where is she?"
The two little ones exchanged glances.
"We don’t have a mom."
Ye Yixing paused: "No mom? Then are you wild children? No one is raising you?"
He noted their poor-quality coats; he’d been used to wearing custom-made, high-quality clothes since childhood and had never seen kids dressed so poorly.
People coming to this grand hotel generally didn’t want for money, so why were these two children dressed so shabbily, looking like they had been mistreated?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed to him.
They had no mother, so certainly, some relative was taking care of them.
Connecting it with the little aunt mentioned earlier, could it be they’ve been raised by their little aunt all along?
The two little ones didn’t understand what "wild children" meant, replying, "We have someone raising us? We have our aunt!"
"[It indeed was little aunt raising them.]" Ye Yixing thought to himself.
Little Su Hua was puzzled by how this uncle knew that?
"Does your little aunt treat you well?" Ye Yixing threw out another question.
Little Su Luo: "Yes!"
Little Su Hua: "Our aunt is very nice."
Ye Yixing’s eyes showed a hint of bewilderment, were these two children deceived by their little aunt or something?
Wearing such poor-quality clothes equals being treated well?
Looking at their slightly frail small bodies, they didn’t quite look like they were getting enough to eat either?
Having secretly taken the photos, Ye Yixing tried to find something from his pocket, yet after fumbling for a while, he couldn’t find anything edible.
Seeing the two little ones continuing to watch him, a hint of embarrassment crossed his face.
"I didn’t bring anything edible for children today, perhaps next time, if Uncle sees you again, I’ll bring something, okay?"
Little Su Hua was puzzled, why does this stranger uncle want to give her and her brother something to eat?
Ye Yixing, noticing the two little ones still staring at him.
Couldn’t help but touched his face.
Couldn’t resist coughing to cover his embarrassment: "...Then Uncle will leave now?"
Yet before leaving, he couldn’t resist being concerned about these two children.
A friend who had stayed by Ye Yixing’s side was puzzled by Young Master Ye’s actions today.
Since when does Young Master Ye like children so much?
Lurking behind a pillar, observing secretly, Liu Yu watched the departing back of the uncle.
At this moment, Little Su Hua was suddenly knocked down by Liu Yu, who unexpectedly appeared and rushed forward.
Little Su Hua fell to the ground, tears welling up from the pain.
"Sister! Are you okay?" Little Su Luo saw his sister being knocked down, quickly went over to help her up.
He angrily glared at Liu Yu: "Why did you bully my sister?"
"She fell because she couldn’t stand still?" Liu Yu said somewhat guilty.
"You’re lying!" Little Su Luo said: "Clearly you did it on purpose, I saw it."
Liu Yu: "I didn’t do it on purpose."
Chu Nuo: "Yes, you did it on purpose, I saw it, too. Apologize to Su Hua’s sister!"
"Yes, apologize!" Others echoed in unison, "We saw it too, you bullied Su Hua’s sister!"
Chu Nuo: "If you don’t apologize, we won’t play with you anymore!"
"Yes, we won’t play with you either!"
Liu Yu looked at them, eyes reddening: "I’m going to tell my mom; you’re all bullying me!"
Then he ran out crying.
The watching staff on the side saw this and quickly called the adults from the lounge.
Zhou Zhu, upon learning her son was being bullied, rushed over angrily.
Arriving just as her son came running in, throwing himself into her arms.
"Mom, they all bullied me, I don’t want to play with them anymore!"
Zhou Zhu held her son, quickly comforting him: "Alright, alright, don’t play with them!"
After soothing her son, she looked angrily at the group of children, sternly asking, "Who bullied my son? If you know what’s good for you, stand up quickly!"
