In truth, Mr. Alex Ye was rather innocent.He looked into Michelle Xia's accusing eyes, paused for a moment, and subtly glanced in the direction of his study. His study happened to be right next to Lizzy Xia's room.Michelle followed his gaze and had a hunch about what he meant. Still, this didn't deter her from continuing her accusations.Alex sighed silently.From what he'd heard from his married or dating peers, when the other party was upset or unhappy, simply apologizing could avoid 80% of potential unpleasant situations.With utmost sincerity, Alex apologized to her, "I'm sorry."His apology was so earnest that Michelle found herself unable to continue her blame game, so she reluctantly looked away. In reality, the bump hadn't been hard, but the nose was sensitive, which caused a sharper pain. For a moment, she couldn't help but blame him.Michelle knew she was being slightly unreasonable and quickly composed herself. Rubbing her nose, which still throbbed a little, she briefly

When Alex Ye returned home, he found Michelle Xia and Lizzy Xia arranging flowers in his room.They had procured several gleaming glass vases from somewhere, and pale golden champagne roses were strewn about, creating an almost melancholic scene. Lizzy was leaning over the table, handing flowers to her mother with great care, all the while tilting her head to watch as Michelle inserted the roses into the vase.Upon seeing her father, the little girl immediately hopped off the chair and, with her short legs, made a quick “patter-patter-patter” as she rushed to greet him. Lizzy smiled brightly, briefly acted coquettishly with Alex, then ran back in her “patter-patter-patter” manner, continuing her task of handing flowers to Michelle and watching her work.Alex didn’t get upset upon seeing the champagne roses being used as playthings, but he did feel a pang of frustration, a slight incredulity. To him, Michelle’s demeanor was hardly what one would expect from someone who received flowers

The first to notice Alex was little Lizzy. Her mouth fell open in apparent surprise at seeing him there. "Why is daddy here? Did he come to buy cake for Lizzy?"Blinking her eyes, Lizzy flashed a sweet smile and softly called out, "Daddy."The café, a quiet and relaxed public space, demanded a certain decorum. Lizzy knew she couldn't yell as she usually did. She was a polite and considerate child, always mindful not to disturb others.Michelle Xia looked stunned for a moment, her gaze following the child's to where Alex Ye was approaching. Alex took a seat opposite them, his expression unreadable, revealing no hint of emotion. He acknowledged the little girl with a low, magnetic "Hmm" in response to her earlier call."I originally came to pick up something for you both to take home," Alex began to explain, "but it seems you're already here."Hearing that her father had planned on getting her a little cake, Lizzy's heart soared. She immediately said, "Daddy can bring Lizzy a cake tomor

In contrast to the tumult of the Yu and Zhao households, life was serene for Alex Ye and Michelle Xia. One afternoon, Alex left work early, intending to pick up his child from kindergarten. The child was overjoyed to see her father coming to get her that day. Lately, it had mostly been her mother, Michelle, doing the pickups. When her dad picked her up, it often meant a delightful detour to grab a delicious slice of cake, with an extra slice for her mom. And if she acted sweetly towards her mother, Michelle might even let her sneak an extra bite of her slice. Just thinking about it made Lizzy Xia feel like the luckiest child in the world! With her little legs, Lizzy dashed over to Alex Ye, her laughter soft and sweet. "Daddy, let's buy a yummy cake for Mommy, okay?" she chirped. Pausing to feign a sigh of concern, she added dramatically, "Mommy's been so busy writing again. She works so hard." Thus, the need for the scrumptious cake. Whether or not she got to eat some was secondary;

Spring ebbed away, and by the swift turn of May, summer was fast approaching. At the beginning of the month, Aria Cheng joyfully welcomed a baby boy into the world, affectionately named "Liam." Sophie Ye was thrilled with the addition of a baby brother and shared her excitement with Lizzy Xia, "My little brother is also your brother, Lizzy. From now on, we'll both be Liam's big sisters!" Though she too was Liam's sister, Lizzy couldn't help but envy Sophie. Returning home, Lizzy once more cozied up to Alex and Michelle Xia, expressing her desire for a little brother. Michelle nodded in response and then, with an air of seriousness, began discussing with Lizzy which street's trash bin they should visit to pick up a brother. Lizzy's young mind filled with confusion. She pondered, "So, is that how you get a little brother? By picking him up like trash?" Lizzy felt a sudden repulsion at the thought of a brother from a trash can – stinky and unclean! She was having second thoughts,

Alex Ye and Michelle Xia had obtained their marriage certificate, but Eleanor Ye never quite dared to urge them to hold a wedding. The story between Alex Ye and Michelle Xia was nothing short of dramatic. Yet, fundamentally, it was a case of "jumping on board first and buying the ticket later". Having a child out of wedlock was seen as a blemish on the Ye family's reputation, and this act in itself was perceived as morally questionable, not something to flaunt. Another factor was that Michelle Xia was essentially on her own; she had hardly any family or friends. If they were to host a wedding, the guests would predominantly be from Alex's side, making the disparity between the groom's and bride's guests glaringly obvious. Such a scenario might be embarrassing for Michelle. Therefore, Eleanor Ye always hesitated to bring up the topic of their wedding. The concerns Eleanor Ye had were equally clear to Alex Ye. When it came to his and Michelle's wedding, he was genuinely hesitant. A

Ye Corporation doesn't hold an annual meeting every year, mainly because organizing one involves a lot of fuss, time and manpower. At least, that was what the young Mr. Alex Ye believed. In his opinion, it was better to devote that time to work on new projects and use the money for year-end bonuses rather than unnecessary events. However, this year, Mr. Alex Ye seemed to take a keener interest in the annual meeting, rather than just delegating it to his assistant and not bothering about it. He would frequently ask his assistant about the event's proceedings, like the agenda, any refreshments planned, and if he needed to deliver a concluding speech. He received a detailed plan for the annual meeting, which, barring any last-minute changes, would be strictly followed. On the chilly winter night of the annual meeting, the indoor heating of Rivenhold was cranked up to fend off the biting cold. As a stakeholder in Ye Corporation and the wife of the Ye family, Eleanor Ye would, as always,

Alex Ye had once imagined that their baby might be like Lizzy: soft, sweet, and utterly adorable, like a heart-melting marshmallow. However, their baby and Lizzy, the marshmallow, were nothing alike.Ella was not the type of baby who craved affection. Even before she could talk or walk, she rarely smiled or showed interest when adults tried to play with her. If Michelle tried to engage her, she'd give a minimal reaction. But if it was Alex or Lizzy, she'd simply close her eyes and pretend to sleep.In front of a baby, not everyone is treated equally.Thus, both Alex and Lizzy felt a bit defeated.Eleanor Ye, however, was quite surprised by Ella's demeanor.

Lizzy Xia was deeply troubled by the birth of her younger sister. She had often heard adults say that younger sisters were delicate, needing constant pampering, love, and affection. They shouldn't be scolded or disciplined. So, with a little sister in tow, what was she supposed to do?This dilemma haunted Lizzy daily, distracting her so much that she even forgot her routine of seeking affection from her mom.One day, after returning from kindergarten, Lizzy's first instinct was to check on her baby sister, bypassing her usual routine of seeking affection from Michelle. It had been quite some time since she had shown her mother her typical, childlike affection, and Michelle couldn't help but feel puzzled.She asked her husband, "Do you think Lizzy doesn't like me anymore? Why doesn't she come to me for cuddles anymore?"Alex, taken aback by the change in Lizzy's behavior, hadn't expected Lizzy's affection for her sister to surpass her love for Michelle. He had previously assumed that

While Alex Ye pondered how he might explain the situation to his little girl, Lizzy Xia interjected with visible concern, “Mommy is sick. We need to take her to the doctor!”“Not only that, she’ll need shots and medicine! Last time I was sick, I had to get shots and take medicine. So Mommy will need the same!”Hearing the urgency in Lizzy’s voice, Alex paused before reassuring her, “Don’t worry, Lizzy. Mommy isn't sick.”Relieved, Lizzy thought to herself, "Good, as long as Mommy isn’t sick." However, with her round, inquisitive eyes fixed on Alex, she pressed, “Then why is Mommy always sleeping?”She recalled that, in the past, whenever she returned from kindergarten, her mother, Michelle Xia, would be hard at work writing, always available for a cuddle. Now, it seemed all Michelle did was sleep, depriving Lizzy of her cherished snuggles.Pondering her question, Alex seemed momentarily at a loss. “I honestly don’t know,” he finally admitted.Disappointed in her father’s response, Li

That same night, Michelle Xia was sleeping alongside Lizzy Xia. Lizzy was a well-behaved child when she slept, barely moving when nestled in Michelle's arms, which made it quite a comfortable experience for Michelle. Of course, sleeping next to Mr. Ye was also comfortable, but it could sometimes be exhausting. Moreover, Mr. Ye always woke up early and would occasionally playfully disturb her sleep.Michelle strongly believed that part of her recent fatigue was because she was waking up too early in the morning. She had hoped that by sleeping with Lizzy, she could catch a few more moments of sleep since Lizzy wasn’t an early riser like Alex Ye.However, the next morning, a blaring alarm startled Michelle from her sleep. The sudden loud noise made her heart jump, thinking for a moment she might be having a heart attack.Lizzy, still groggy from sleep, slowly climbed out of bed. She found the source of the noise and turned off the alarm. As she did, realization dawned on her. She had hi

It was evident that Lizzy adored her little brother immensely.One day, Michelle curiously asked her daughter whether she would prefer a younger brother or sister. Without hesitation, Lizzy solemnly replied, "I don't want Mommy to be in pain. I don't need a brother or a sister." Michelle was momentarily stunned by the child's sincere expression, then laughed softly, ruffling Lizzy's hair. How could her child be so endearingly considerate at such a young age, empathizing with her mother's discomfort?Michelle had a vague intuition that something might be amiss when she realized her menstrual cycle was off. Recalling the past, it dawned upon her that it had been a while since her last period. Upon mentioning her suspicion to Alex Ye, he looked at her with an "I thought you'd never notice" expression. Alex commented, "I was expecting y

Michelle Xia woke up to find something warm and soft tucked into her embrace, providing an added comfort. Without a second thought, she knew it was her sticky little daughter, Lizzy, who must have sneaked into her bed for some shared slumber. Even though she was now awake, Michelle was in no hurry to rise, especially with a snuggly little one in her arms. The desire to stay in bed was even stronger. Lizzy, despite being an early riser unlike her mother, was half-awake. Sensing Michelle's alertness, Lizzy too came to full consciousness.Lizzy Xia's voice was soft and sweet as she cooed to Michelle Xia, wanting kisses, cuddles, and to nuzzle against her cheek. Yet, she carefully avoided mentioning why she was on her mother's bed.Michelle playfully asked the little one, "Lizzy, how did you end up on mommy's bed?"With wide innocent eyes, Lizzy feigned innocence, saying, "Because mommy wanted Lizzy to sleep with her, so Lizzy appeared on mommy's bed!"Michelle tried to stifle her laugh

Lizzy Xia promised to give her unicorn toy to Liam, and when she made promises, especially to kids, she kept them. Though parting with her toy was painful for her, the thought of little Liam, who was afraid of the dark and would cry when awakened by nightmares, tugged at her heart. She couldn't bear the idea of him being scared. The next day after kindergarten, Lizzy hurried home. Clutching her unicorn toy, she entered Michelle Xia's room. Approaching Michelle's computer desk, Lizzy gently tugged at the hem of her mother's skirt. Lizzy noticed that her mom had been wearing skirts a lot lately. Before, Michelle had always favored long pants, especially those unattractive blue-gray jeans. Lizzy caressed the skirt's fabric, thinking about how pretty it looked. Michelle had been engrossed in her writing. An old employer had reached out, and she'd been chatting with him. But now, this little clingy bundle of joy had caught her attention.
