บท 37: Could It Be Such a Coincidence?
บรรณาธิการ: Atlas Studios
Ye Yelin took a few steps and saw that Ye Moqing did not follow him. He thought that he had slipped away again.
When he turned around, he saw Ye Moqing's eyes widen in shock in a look of disbelief.
"Third Bub, come over quickly. This is your sister."
When Dou Manni saw Ye Moqing, she had long forgotten about the unhappiness earlier on and happily introduced her.
"Her name is Xia Jinmian. She's a year younger than you and is your classmate."
Ye Moqing: "???"
Could. It. Be. Such. A. Coincidence?
Ye Moqing's body was a little stiff as he walked over to sit opposite Xia Jinmian. He stared fixedly at Xia Jinmian.
Ye Yelin frowned unhappily. Since when did Third Bub like to gawk at a girl?
Even though Xia Jinmian was beautiful, his stare was too riveting.
"Ahem!" He reminded him coldly. "Third Bub, introduce yourself."
Seeing that Third Bub was gawking at Little Mian in a daze, Dou Manni was smug. After all, she had taken a fancy to Little Mian first.
Ye Moliang pouted and said possessively, "Third Brother, Sister is mine!"
Ye Moqing recovered and caught his father's words to introduce himself in a daze.
"My name is Ye Moqing. I'm 19 years old. Male. Born in the Capital. I have a high school education. I'm now a first lieutenant in the training camp…"
"Third Bub!" Dou Manni hurriedly called out.
Ye Moqing immediately jerked back to his senses. Why did he blurt out the self-introduction taught in the training camp?
Ye Yelin frowned and looked at Third Bub. He felt that something was up with him.
How could the ever rational Third Bub be so dopey at this moment?
Ye Moqing was also very dejected. What happened to him just now? Was he bewitched by Xia Jinmian?
He immediately lowered his head. Ignoring the strange looks everyone gave him, he cut up the steak and started eating.
"Hello, Third Young Master. My name is Xia Jinmian." Xia Jinmian looked at him calmly.
Ye Moqing had just put a small piece of steak into his mouth. When he heard this, he forgot to chew. He swallowed it whole and nodded at her.
The two of them seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. Neither of them mentioned that they had already gotten to know each other during the day.
Seeing that the rebellious Third Bub had suddenly become obedient and did not hate Little Mian anymore, Dou Manni heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as Third Bub did not act out and bully Little Mian, she could reluctantly accept her son in the house.
At this moment, Butler Xu walked in with a large gift box.
"Third Young Master, your subordinate has sent a gift."
Ye Moqing's back suddenly stiffened. Drats!
Dou Manni said happily, "Quick, give it to Little Mian. It must be Third Bub's gift to her."
It was too late for Ye Moqing to stop him. Butler Xu placed the gift box on the empty table beside Xia Jinmian.
Ye Moqing felt a little guilty and said in a negotiating tone, "Mommy, I want to prepare a new gift for Litlle Mian. This gift is too hastily put together."
However, Xia Jinmian was curious about the content of such a big gift box. The fact that Ye Moqing wanted to redo the gift meant there was probably something very interesting inside.
"It's fine. This will do. Thank you, Third Young Master." Xia Jinmian smiled at Ye Moqing.
That smile made Ye Moqing feel even more guilty, as if Xia Jinmian had seen through his prank.
"Sister, open it quickly. It's such a big gift box. The gift must be huge!"
Ye Moliang was also very curious. His obsidian eyes lit up as he looked at the gift box.
Under the curious and nervous gazes of everyone, Xia Jinmian began to unwrap the gift.
She unwrapped a layer of colored paper. Inside was a large cardboard box.
Xia Jinmian placed her hands on both ends of the cardboard box and slowly opened it.
