Chapter 740: The Kids Are Already Six!

Yun Batian's smile vanished abruptly when he saw Fu Hanxiu and Ye Qingran walking side by side.

Obviously, they slept together last night.

Even though he had guessed this fact long ago, seeing it with his own eyes still broke his heart.

"Grandfather? Why are you here?"

"How could I not come?"

Yun Batian said irritably.

"Yes, yes, of course you can come!" Ye Qingran didn't want to reason with this quick‑to‑lose‑temper old man.

"Xiaohu Xiaocheng, why are you up so early?" Seeing her two sons in neat martial attire with a thin sheen of sweat on their foreheads, Ye Qingran couldn't help feeling surprised.

"Good morning, Mother." Xiao Hu ran to Ye Qingran, beginning to report, "Mother, that smelly Xiao Chen slipped away while I wasn't looking, got up at dawn to practice secretly, trying to quietly surpass me!"

Xiao Chen rolled his White Eye and snorted coldly, "How dare you talk about me? Aren't you also secretly getting up at dawn to practice?"

"You get up earlier than me!"

"You get up earlier than me, right?"

"You're early!"

"You're the earliest!"

Ye Qingran placed a hand on her forehead.

Is this the legendary "involution"?

To become the older brother, these two little rascals are really giving it their all!

"Xiaohu Xiaocheng, your hard work is commendable, but your motives are wrong. You are brothers; you should help and support each other. No matter who is the older brother or younger brother, you are both good brothers and good children of your mother."

At first Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen pursed their lips, looking indignant, but after hearing Ye Qingran's words they gradually realized their mistake and a hint of remorse grew in their hearts.

"Alright, Xiao Chen, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have secretly hidden from you that I got up early to practice; that's all my fault."

"Don't say that; actually I was wrong too. I also hid from you and slandered my practice."

The two children looked at each other and smiled, "Then we're even; from now on, no one can hide anything from anyone!"

"Not only must you not hide from each other, but also help each other and improve together!"

"Yeah, yeah, we're good brothers!"

"That's a must!"

Seeing the two brothers reconcile as before, Ye Qingran's eyes were filled with satisfaction.

She hoped that Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen, now and in the future, would remain inseparable, keep each other in an important place, experience life's storms together, and eventually grow into the people they each admire.

Yun Batian watched from the side, feeling moved deep inside; he thought that his granddaughter, once she had her own children, would surely be an outstanding mother.

These two children are indeed excellent, but unfortunately they aren't his granddaughter's children.

He couldn't help feeling that Ye Qingran was unworthy.

"You tell me!" Yun Batian twitched his index finger, looking as if he were cursing his own inability to become steel.

"What's wrong with me?" Ye Qingran asked bewilderedly.

"Do you really like these two children that much?" Yun Batian could hardly understand.

If she truly liked children, she could have one herself; why raise someone else's?

Ye Qingran was startled, then suddenly realized she hadn't told Yun Batian that she already had a child.

Not only Yun Batian, but probably most of the Yun Tribe also didn't know.

No wonder Yun Batian acted like that; he apparently thought those two children belonged to Fu Hanxiu, and that she was just a kind step‑mother?

"Pfft~" Ye Qingran was amused by the thought.

"You still laugh!" Yun Batian clutched his wrist. "Granddaughter, you're just too naive. He must have been attracted to her unparalleled beauty back then, and Fu Hanxiu took notice of her."

"I do like these two children quite a bit," Ye Qingran nodded seriously, a sly glint in her eyes.

"Are you stupid?" Yun Batian shook his head speechlessly, "If you truly love children, just have one yourself!"

Although he was reluctant that his granddaughter had given herself to a man, if she truly loved him, he would try to accept it.

He only wishes her happiness!

Ye Qingran felt a warm feeling in her heart. Though the old man had a bad temper, he was truly kind to her; she could feel it.

"Alright, alright, Mother, give us another little sister!"

"A little sister is so cute! I also want a little sister!"

Regarding having a little sister, Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen have always been extremely enthusiastic.

Fu Hanxiu raised an eyebrow, thinking the idea was pretty good. However, he had been working hard lately and wondered whether Ye Qingran's belly already carried his seed.

Honestly, he also wanted a daughter, preferably looking like Ye Qingran; just the thought made his heart flutter.

Yun Batian pursed his lips, his serious gaze landing on Fu Hanxiu, "What do you mean?"

If his granddaughter insists on staying with Fu Hanxiu, she must have her own offspring; only then can she secure a foothold at the peak of the competition, otherwise she'd be vulnerable, and the day Fu Hanxiu grows tired, he could easily kick her away.

If Fu Hanxiu dares to say 'no', he'll risk his life to beat him up!

"She is willing to bear another child for me; it's my honor."

When Yun Batian heard this, his brows finally relaxed a bit; the kid finally showed some conscience.

However...

Again?

"What do you mean by 'another'? Explain it clearly to me!"

"It's simple, Grandfather. Xiao Chen and I are both born of Mother. If Mother bears another little sister, that's just another child, right?" He asked, "What's so hard to understand?"

Xiao Hu didn't understand.

"Grandfather, you can't possibly not know that Xiao Chen and I are Mother's well‑behaved children, right?"

Yun Batian was shocked.

"They are all your children? Absolutely certain?"

Ye Qingran gave a faint smile, "Don't you think I and Xiao Hu look a little alike?"

Xiao Chen looked sullen.

The only thing he envied about Xiao Hu in this life was that Xiao Hu resembled his mother a bit, while he had hardly inherited his mother's looks!

Yun Batian looked at the child who didn't look much like Fu Hanxiu, and the more he stared, the more he felt the child indeed bore a slight resemblance to Ye Qingran.

"It really is your child!"

Oh my God!

His granddaughter had already become a mother!

The children are...

"How old are the children?"

"We're six years old!"

The children are all six years old!

Yun Batian didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment.

Surprise, excitement, pity, regret...

A mixture of many emotions.

His poor granddaughter, just back in his arms, already had her own family. They had missed more than twenty years of her life!

This was undoubtedly a huge regret.

But seeing that she had found a man she liked, built a new family, and had two well‑behaved, good‑looking children, he was sincerely happy for her.

He could see that she was happy.

Because the eyes never lie.

How nice.

"Granddaughter..."

Yun Batian choked up a bit.

Ye Qingran didn't like this situation much, and quickly said to Xiaohu Xiaocheng, "Xiaohu Xiaocheng, this is your great‑grandfather, greet him quickly."

"What?"

Xiaohu Xiaocheng were both stunned, their big watery eyes wide open.

So this old man was actually their great‑grandfather!

Wasn't their great‑grandfather the Clan Leader of the Yun Tribe?

"You don't look like the Clan Leader of the Yun Tribe!"

Yun Batian was stumped by the question, "Why do you say that?"
