That evening, when Ye Mingjue returned home, the scene inside was as follows: An Xiaonuan sat upright in the living room, while Ye Ziru and Ye Ziyu stood straight before her, not far away. Ye Mingjue was very surprised to see this scene. His wife had always been kind to the children, so being this serious was unprecedented. It seemed that these two boys must have done something serious. "Warm Warm, how did you set up a court session today? What happened?" Ye Mingjue asked. An Xiaonuan glared coldly at Ye Mingjue, without saying a word. Ye Mingjue recalled today's events. He hadn't upset his wife, he was innocent, and yet he got glared at. There was only one possibility: he was implicated by these two children. He didn't do anything wrong, yet he was implicated – it was truly unfair. However, he didn't show it. Instead, he smiled and said, "Wife, these two little brats made you angry. I'll help you discipline them." An Xiaonuan raised an eyebrow and said, "They provoked me, you help me vent my anger. If you provoke me, how will you be dealt with? Will you handle it yourself, or should I take action?" This is not friendly. Ye Mingjue has a bad feeling about this. The queen bee at home is really furious this time, I don't know what those two naughty boys did to make her so angry. Her eyes are blacked with anger and it's not easy to mediate between them. "Honey, what exactly did these two do wrong?" Ye Mingjue pondered for a moment before asking. When she didn't speak, it was fine. But the moment she did, An Xiaonuan felt her vision go dark. These two mischievous kids really went too far. Locking them in their room to reflect on their wrongdoing wasn't enough; they didn't take it seriously at all. As soon as they were inside, they started planning how to get away with it and even snuck some snacks! If that was all, it wouldn't be so bad, but these two actually ended up fighting each other. As for the reason, it was truly astounding. For the ownership of the last bag of chips, they decided to duel. One moment he said not to lay hands on people, the next he was challenging her to a duel, completely ignoring her words. To even have this reason is absurd! You'd think they were reincarnated starving ghosts the way they act! An Xiaonuan glanced at her two brothers and said, "I don't want to talk about what happened today. You two should tell your father yourselves." Ye Mingjue sat down beside An Xiaonuan, and the two children began to talk about what happened that day. Ye Ziyue took the lead, with Ye Zirui adding details. The two worked together seamlessly, quickly informing Ye Mingjue of everything that had happened. An Xiaonuan asked, "Husband, you know everything that happened. What do you think about them assaulting people and refusing to apologize?" If you ask me how this looks, of course it's well done. That little rascal Mo Ziyao, at such a young age, already has his eyes on my daughter! How can this be? This kind of bad influence absolutely cannot be tolerated. However, Ye Mingjue knew that his wife was a kind person who didn't approve of solving problems with violence. So he cleverly said, "Honey, I agree that hitting people isn't right. Violence doesn't solve many problems. But these two boys are stubborn and can't be persuaded easily. Let's eat first, and then I'll talk to them properly." An Xiaonuan looked at Ye Mingjue in confusion. He was usually quite strict with his son, so why was he acting like this today? It just seemed strange no matter how she looked at it. "Uncle, did something get you riled up today? Why are you suddenly defending them?" An Xiaonuan asked. Ye Mingjue said with a calm expression, "I didn't help them. I was afraid you would starve." "Is that so?" "Of course, I've always been on your side. How could I speak for them? That's not true at all." Ye Mingjue's expression was incredibly sincere. An Xiaonuan didn't continue asking, turning to walk towards the dining table. Two children raised their thumbs to Ye Mingjue. Because they got into trouble today, the two children were especially well-behaved and quiet at mealtime. After dinner, Ye Mingjue said, “I’ll take the two little ones to the study for some education. When we have results, I’ll report back to you, how about that?” An Xiaonuan's gaze darted back and forth between Ye Mingjue and the two children. After a long silence, she said, "Fine, I'm already getting a headache from them, so I'll leave it to you." Ye Mingjue brought two steamed buns to the study. The two little guys thought they were finally free, found a comfortable place to sit down, and their smiles couldn't be hidden. Just then, Ye Mingjue suddenly said in a serious tone, “You two, stand still immediately.” Reality and expectation had a gap. Ye Zi Rui asked, "Dad, you called us in not to tell us how to please Mom? Why are you so serious?" Ye Mingjue's eyes swept across them coldly, then said: "You think so beautifully? I asked you two to come here to settle the score. You caused trouble outside, your mother's foot injury hasn't healed properly, and you ran out again. How do you plan to settle this? Besides, you made her angry for a whole day, and anger damages the body. How do you plan to settle this?" When it came to this, the two of them lowered their heads in unison. They did have some things they hadn't done well. "Dad, what happened today has already happened. It's useless to talk about it anymore. We'll be more careful next time so that Mom doesn't get tired or angry." Ye Ziyu said respectfully. "Alright, considering your attitude isn't too bad, I'll forgive you this time. There won't be a next time." Ye Ming said in a stern voice. After hearing Ye Mingjue's words, the two nodded seriously. "Alright, now think for yourselves how to make your mother happy." Ye Mingjue continued. "Dad, you're more experienced on this side. Could you give me some pointers?" Ye Zi Rui asked. Ye Mingjue didn't like to hear this. What did it mean that he was more experienced on this side? It sounded like he angered his wife every day. "I don't know, figure it out yourselves." Ye Mingjue said coldly, taking a book from the bookshelf and looking at it. "Ziyu, Dad seems a little unhappy too. What should we do now?" Ye Ziru leaned close to Ye Ziyu and asked softly. Ye Ziyu glanced at his older brother helplessly. Some things were better left unsaid. Their father had always been someone who valued face above all else. Even if you knew, don't say anything. This would offend both sides, so he could only rely on himself. After a while, Ye Ziyu leaned into Ye Ziru's ear and whispered a few words. Ye Ziru nodded repeatedly. "Dad, we already have an idea," Ye Ziyu said. Ye Mingjue, who was reading, raised his head and asked, "What are your thoughts? If you make my wife angry again, I won't let you off." Ye Zi Rui pondered for a moment and said, "Dad, we've thought it through. Mom doesn't like us to be too violent, so we won't use violence. After all, there are more than one way to solve problems in this world. Sometimes, not using force is actually more effective than using it." |
