Of course, Ye Sichen also hoped his children could grow up with their mother’s love. However, in his eyes, Xia Nuan was not qualified to be a mother. She gave birth to them for the sake of profit, and never thought about looking after her children.

The pity in his eyes faded as he looked into the distance.

Ye Sichen took the children back to the villa in the suburb, and asked the subordinates to book a private flight back to Modu City.

To avoid the reporters, he and his bodyguard exchanged their clothes as they arrived in Modu City. He took the children back to the manor in advance, but some sharp-eyed reporters still recognized him. They kept taking pictures of him and his children.

Soon, there was a piece of news saying that Ye Sichen was going to return to the stage. Well, someone said that he was prosecuted and he had to come back for trail.

Great reputation attracted exaggerate rumors and hearsay. However, Ye Sichen was accustomed to the gossip. Paying no attention to the criticism and rumors about him, he began to discuss with the organizers about the rehearsal of his performance.

Lan Qing also came here to see Ye Sichen who was surrounded by crazy fans.

Ye Sichen was a little thinner than before. His bright eyes had become melancholy.

“Ye, finally, you are back. I’ve been looking forward to seeing you for a long time.” Lan Qing stretched out his hands to his hand, and patted on his shoulders friendly.

Ye Sichen smiled, “We should further our discussion.”

“Yeah. We have to talk about it seriously. You haven’t released any album for a long time. It’s time to make a breakthrough to impress the world. By the way, I’ve already customized a suit for you to attend this award ceremony. The suit is designed by the most talented designer, and I will introduce her to you later…” Lan Qing talked about it with great pleasure.

However, Ye Sichen held the hands of Wuyou and Nianci with an expressionless face and said, “What I want to talk to you is that I haven’t thought about releasing a new album recently. So, it’s better not to count on me. I hope you can make achievements in other areas.”

Seeing his indifferent look, Lan Qing was a little upset, “Ye, don’t you have any interest in it? Do you just want to raise your children at home?”

“I enjoy this kind of life.” Ye Sichen took Ansheng from the bodyguard, smiling gently and charmingly.

“Well, I’m very glad to see you. However, the award ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow. Is it enough for you to rehearse? Or do you need me to put off the ceremony to have a day off?” Seeing him tired, Lan Qing suggested.

“I’ll go to rehearse after I settle the babies. Let’s say, tonight.” Ye Sichen said.

Lan Qing nodded.

Taking Wuyou and Nianci, Ye Sichen held Ansheng in his arms to the manor in Modu City. In the meantime, Ansheng had already fallen asleep, but Wuyou and Nianci were not sleepy at all. Seeing Ye Sichen was leaving, they grabbed his hands and begged.


“Dad, take us with you.”

“I want to see you rehearsing. We aren’t sleepy anyway.”

Given their insistence, Ye Sichen had to take them with him.

Only one bodyguard and a nanny were left at home to take care of Ansheng.

The rehearsal venue was on the stage, which was set up for the award ceremony. The stage was in the center of a stadium. The interior decoration was luxurious like a crystal palace. Lan Qing was directing some staff how to present a better stage effect, and some performers were rehearsing dances.

When Ye Sichen appeared, everything here had become eclipsed. All the busy ones stopped at this moment, and looked in Ye Sichen’s direction.

“I haven’t seen you for a long time. Are you living in seclusion?”

“Mr. Ye, can I have your signature?”

The guest performers who were invited here turned into fans at this time, and they swarmed towards Ye Sichen.

Wuyou and Nianci stood behind Ye Sichen to avoid the crowd.

After a while, Lan Qing began to say, “Ladies and gentlemen, you can go back to have a rest now. In order not to affect the ceremony performance, Mr. Ye has to rehearse, too. If we need you to have a rehearsal, we’ll inform you in advance.”

Hearing these words, the performers had to leave the gym.

Then Ye Sichen began to rehearse with his own dancers as the music played.

However, Lan Qing asked Ye Sichen to change his clothes before the rehearsal.

Ye Sichen didn’t think so. He didn’t care about the suit thing too much.

“Ye, if the suit doesn’t fit, the designer has to make time to redesign it. Why not try it on in advance? Also, you can feel the stage effect.” Lan Qing advised.

It sounded sensible. Ye Sichen agreed.

Lan Qing asked his assistant to bring that suit immediately. The suit looked plain, consisting of a white shirt, a pair of black pants, and an ornate belt with a diamond agate on it. The suit fitted Ye Sichen perfectly.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Ye Sichen froze.

It occurred to him that he had seen this suit once…

In the past, Xia Nuan made a design album, and the first page on the album was the same clothing style…

Perhaps it was just a coincidence.

“Ye, does the suit fit?” Lan Qing stood behind him and asked.

“Well, not bad.”

“I guess you must look forward to meeting the designer, right?”

“Actually, I don’t want to see the designer.” Ye Sichen realized something subconsciously. So, he turned around to take off the shirt.

Suddenly, he saw a woman who wore a smart suit standing there. The woman’s fluffy hair was coiled at the back of her head, and all her image exuded a kind of sophistication and shrewdness which were beyond her age.

“Ye…Mr. Ye.” Xia Nuan crossed her hands, showing a gentle look.

Ye Sichen was stunned for a moment, and then looked away. He continued, “Let’s have a rehearsal.”

Seeing this, Lan Qing left with the staff.

Xia Nuan was depressed for his reaction. Then she turned around and followed Ye Sichen, “Does the suit fit you?”

Out of concern, she asked him.

Ye Sichen took off the shirt and threw it on the floor, “What are you trying to show me? Show me how versatile you are?”

Xia Nuan burst into tears. She picked up the shirt from the floor, “No, I didn’t mean that. I dare not to ask you to come back to me, but I hope you can see the truth.”

“You’ve already won great reputation and I’ve seen it. Now go.” Ye Sichen said ruthlessly.

“I just want you to know that I am not the kind of person who loves fame and gain. I was forced to be a surrogate mother for lacking of money…”

“So, you did it for money after all. Xia Nuan, I don’t care if you are good or bad. Please leave.”

Ye Sichen snapped his fingers and the music started.

He danced to the music, attracting people’s attention.

Xia Nuan backed away and stood out of Ye Sichen’s sight.

Tears rolled down her face and fell on the suit she designed for him.

“Mom.”

In the meantime, she felt someone was pulling her. Then she turned around and saw Wuyou and Nianci who had grown taller looking at her happily.

“Wuyou! Nianci!” Xia Nuan held them excitedly in her arms.

They also hugged her tightly with emotion.

“Mom, where have you been recently? Why don’t you come back to see us? Do you know how much we miss you?” Nianci wiped her tears as she said.

Xia Nuan made an excuse, “Mom has been busy with work.”

“Mom, you are lying. That’s not a good habit. Actually, you had a quarrel with dad, right?” Wuyou acted as if he had seen through Xia Nuan’s lie.

Xia Nuan was a little guilty, and then kissed him on the forehead, “How is your brother? Where is he now?”

“I won’t tell you about him, unless you go home with us.” Wuyou said as if he was an adult.

Xia Nuan was helpless.

She knew Ye Sichen won’t let that happen.

“Mom, if you did something wrong, you should apologize to dad. We would say this to dad if he does the same.” Nianci held Xia Nuan’s hands and said earnestly.

Xia Nuan responded with a tight smile, “Okay.”

“As dad finishes rehearsing, we’ll go to see him.” Nianci said with great pleasure.

Xia Nuan didn’t respond, and just looked at the stage worriedly.

On second thought, she dialed a number.

As Ye Sichen finished his rehearsal, he discussed with Lan Qing about the problems of performance on the stage. When everything was settled down, Ye Sichen was ready to leave.

However, he was stopped because Xia Nuan walked to him.

“Dad, mom has something to say to you.” Wuyou and Nianci approached Ye Sichen.

Ye Sichen put on his clothes, looking at Wuyou and Nianci who expected his response, and didn’t want to let them down.

“Let’s go to the lounge.”

Xia Nuan followed him there.

Seeing Ye Sichen sweating buckets, Xia Nuan took tissues out of her bag and then handed it to him.

Ye Sichen didn’t take it but said, “You are allowed to visit the children, but you can’t compete with me for their custody.”

“I fell into Luo Dai’er’s trap. She had bribed a family member of a boy who was seriously ill, and I mistakenly thought that the sick boy was my child. At that time, I was deeply convinced. To save him, I promised to surrogate again…” Xia Nuan explained how the old lady and Luo Dai’er tricked her last time.

However, Ye Sichen was expressionless.

At this time, a woman about 60 walked in under the guidance of Lan Qing’s assistant. She bowed her head out of guilt.

“The so-called agreement for property division was forged by Luo Dai’er. She did it to make you believe that I did that for the property. Thus, you would regard me as a woman who is greedy for money, but I was just trying to save that poor child. I’ve never thought about occupying your property. This old lady was bribed by Luo Dai’er, and she can prove my innocence.”

Then the old lady said, “Ms. Xia is right. Mr. Ye, you misunderstand her. All of these are tricks that Luo Dai’er asked me to say to her…”

Ye Sichen said nothing with a deadpan face.
