Chapter 25: Even Her Smile Is So Gentle

As soon as the man heard this, he became furious. "You little brat, what did you just say?"

Gu Nianxi was so frightened that she hid behind Ye Chen.

Yan Yue'er stood in front of Ye Chen and the others, coldly staring at the man. "They're just children; why are you arguing with them? If you're leaving, then go quickly. Don't block our way here."

So domineering!

The always gentle English teacher was truly imposing at this moment.

The man was stunned.

This woman was speaking to him in this tone for the sake of these two little brats?

"You... you just wait. When we get back, I'll tell your parents about this!" The man cursed and left.

Yan Yue'er shrugged indifferently.

When she looked back at Ye Chen and the others, her face had returned to its gentle expression. "Alright, I'll take you home."

"Okay."

They returned to the bus stop to wait for the bus.

While waiting, Ye Chen suddenly asked, "Teacher Yan, do you not like that uncle just now?"

Yan Yue'er hadn't expected him to ask and casually replied, "No, I don't like him."

"Why not?"

"You little one, why so many questions? I just don't like him."

Yan Yue'er chuckled softly; even her smile was so gentle.

A breeze lifted her hair. Looking at her like this, she was truly beautiful.

How could that scumbag bear to hurt her?

"Alright then."

"He is a blind date introduced by my family, but I don't like him," Yan Yue'er said.

Gu Nianxi looked utterly confused. "Brother Ye Chen, what's a blind date?"

"Um... it's kind of like our arranged engagement. You meet, like each other, and then be together," Ye Chen thought for a moment and could only explain it this way.

"Oh, I see. But Teacher Yan said she doesn't like that uncle."

"Teacher Yan won't be with him."

"That's good. I didn't like that uncle at all."

The two little ones continued their discussion. Yan Yue'er looked over and smiled. "You two really know quite a bit."

"Teacher, if you don't like him, then don't be with him. My mom and dad say that two people who don't like each other won't be happy together. You're so beautiful; you should meet someone better," Ye Chen said.

Yan Yue'er raised an eyebrow. This child even understands this?

What do his parents teach him?

Was she being advised by a child today?

"Alright, I understand. I won't be with him, so don't worry." Yan Yue'er rubbed Ye Chen's head.

How does this child know everything? Like a little adult.

No wonder his parents felt at ease letting him take his little sister out.

The bus arrived, and the three of them got on.

Yan Yue'er directly paid their fares and smiled. "I'll take you home."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher."

Yan Yue'er was a volunteer teacher from out of town. She usually lived in the school's dormitory and would occasionally explore the surrounding areas. It was really a coincidence to meet them at Phoenix Mountain today.

Along the way, the little girl talked about food, seeming to regret not eating more since there were so many options.

She hadn't even had her favorite grilled sausages. She originally wanted to buy some, but after greeting the teacher, she forgot.

Sigh...

She was too embarrassed to mention it in front of the teacher.

"Student Ye Chen, are your parents at home?" She wanted to discuss this matter with them.

Children shouldn't be allowed to go out by themselves casually; accidents can happen in the blink of an eye.

There are so many cars on the road; if they get hurt, it's the children who suffer.

"My dad went to work; my mom is at home."

Yan Yue'er nodded.

When they arrived at the bus stop near their home, they got off.

Yan Yue'er took the two of them toward their house.

Shen Yuhua had finished her housework and was sitting on the sofa knitting a sweater, still thinking about her son. There was a landline at home, and she was just about to call to check when there was a knock on the door.

When she opened it, she saw a familiar face with two little ones behind her.

Ye Chen and Gu Nianxi.

"Teacher Yan? Please come in, please come in." Seeing that it was the teacher, Shen Yuhua warmly invited her in.

After they sat down.

"Teacher, has our Ye Chen been misbehaving at school? Don't worry; I'll educate him properly!" Shen Yuhua said proactively.

Yan Yue'er waved her hand. "No, today I met Ye Chen and Nianxi at Phoenix Mountain. I was worried they might run into bad people, so I brought them back."

"Teacher, I'm really sorry to trouble you."

"It's no trouble. Mrs. Ye, Ye Chen is still a child. In the future, please don't let them go out by themselves; it's very dangerous," Yan Yue'er said seriously.

Shen Yuhua was momentarily stunned and felt a bit embarrassed because she had agreed to let them go.

"You're absolutely right, Teacher. I'll pay more attention in the future. Thank you so much."

Yan Yue'er nodded and then stood up. "It's alright. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Teacher, let me see you out."

After seeing off Yan Yue'er, it wasn't long before Shen Yuhua returned. "You child, I told you not to go. Next time, you're not allowed to take Xiao Xi out by yourself, understand?"

"Understood," Ye Chen replied.

Gu Nianxi smiled and said, "Auntie, Brother Ye Chen took good care of me and even bought me delicious food."

"What delicious food did he buy you?" Seeing her future daughter-in-law, Shen Yuhua immediately switched to another attitude, smiling broadly.

"He bought me candied hawthorn, spicy potato slices, and cola."

She had wanted to eat more but couldn't fit anything else.

"He bought so much! Next time, if you want to eat something, ask Brother Ye Chen to buy it for you, okay?" Shen Yuhua smiled.

It seems she needs to give Xiao Chen more pocket money; spending on his future wife is necessary.

To win someone's heart, you must first win their stomach; it's the same for children.

Although Xiao Xi has a good relationship with Xiao Chen now, when she grows up, there's no guarantee she won't have many suitors. What if someone else steals her future daughter-in-law?

That wouldn't do.

"Auntie, my mom will give me money too. I'll also buy delicious food for Brother Ye Chen," the little girl said with a giggle.

Although she has an arranged engagement with Brother Ye Chen now, she can't let him pay for everything she eats. She has saved a lot of New Year's money!

When she tells her mom that she wants to buy delicious food for Brother Ye Chen, her mom will definitely give her lots of pocket money.

Shen Yuhua couldn't help but laugh. Seeing the little girl's cute appearance, her heart was melting. She pinched her rosy little cheeks. "Alright, Auntie understands. Our Xiao Xi is so sweet, always thinking of Brother Ye Chen."

"Well, Brother Ye Chen, I'll go home now. Mom must be waiting for me," the little girl looked at Ye Chen and smiled.

"Okay, off you go!"

"Brother Ye Chen, see you tomorrow. Bye-bye."

With that, the little girl took her rabbit water bottle, opened the door, and went out, hopping and skipping. She was obviously very happy today.
