Chapter 1537: Chapter 1537: Officially Starting the Job 1

Ye Xiangqian was very surprised. He knew his son well. Although Ye Yan often ate at the neighbors’ homes, he wasn’t particularly close to them. He always insisted on coming back to sleep at his own home whenever Ye Xiangqian wasn’t around. But now, in just half a day, he wanted to stay at the Lu Family’s house.

Lu Jiang and his wife were upright and kind people—something he had always known. But for them to earn his son’s trust so quickly, they must be even better than he had imagined.

"Ye Yan, you don’t want to come home with me? I’ll stay home with you tonight," Ye Xiangqian said. He was usually very busy and often rested at the dormitories on the military base. Every time he came home, it always made his son happy.

At the moment, Ye Yan was completely engrossed in watching Fubao draw. Not even turning his head, he waved a hand absently behind him at Ye Xiangqian. "Dad, just go home by yourself. I already ate dinner at Auntie Lu’s house. Auntie even taught me how to do my homework. Tomorrow, I’ll be going to school with Fubao. I can’t let Fubao hang around with that bad Shen Feng—he once pulled down Gu Xiaolin’s pants! He’s a little thug!"

As soon as Ye Yan said this, Lu Jiang, his wife, and Ye Xiangqian all grew serious at the same time.

Even though kids are young, pulling down a girl’s pants is absolutely inappropriate behavior. Indulgence of such behavior could easily lead to him growing into an actual thug in the future.

Feng Qingxue crouched down in front of Ye Yan and gently asked, "Yanyan, is that why you stopped Shen Feng from getting close to Fubao today?"

When they got home earlier, she had carefully questioned her daughter. According to Fubao, it was Shen Feng who first asked to play with her, but Ye Yan had stopped him. The two boys were like oil and water—unable to see eye to eye. Shen Feng had pushed Ye Yan, and Ye Yan retaliated by hitting him. Two other kids came to help Shen Feng, turning the situation into a brawl. Ye Yan had already recounted these details during the day, yet Fubao repeated the story to her mother just to confirm.

Ye Yan, still engrossed in the drawing Fubao was making, turned part of his attention to Feng Qingxue when he heard her question. He gave a small nod. "Shen Feng is a little thug. We can’t play with him. He also likes to pull on girl classmates’ pigtails."

Feng Qingxue couldn’t resist giving Ye Yan a hug.

They were only as young as Fubao. If Ye Yan hadn’t witnessed Shen Feng pulling down Gu Xiaolin’s pants with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have made something like that up. At such a young age, he simply wasn’t capable of fabricating such a story out of thin air.

"Thank you, Yanyan. From now on, Fubao will rely on you to protect her at school," Feng Qingxue said warmly.

Ye Yan straightened his shoulders and patted his chest. "Don’t worry, Auntie. I’ll take good care of Fubao. I won’t let that bad Shen Feng come near her!"

Fubao sweetly chimed in, "Thank you, Brother Yanyan."

After learning their ages, it turned out that Ye Yan was six months older than Fubao.

Even though Fubao was still very young, Feng Qingxue had taught her early on that, aside from her mom, no one else was allowed to remove her clothes. She was also taught never to appear undressed in front of others. Because of this, she clearly understood that Shen Feng pulling down a girl’s pants meant he was a thug.

Receiving Fubao’s gratitude made Ye Yan beam with joy.

Seeing his son so happy, Ye Xiangqian couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed. His own son staying at someone else’s house and refusing to leave—what kind of situation was that?

Feng Qingxue smiled and said, "Comrade Ye Xiangqian, there’s no need to be so formal. If Ye Yan likes staying at our house, then let him stay. It’s just another set of dishes at the table. Besides, I’ve listened to what Ye Yan said. Your duties keep you busy, leaving you unable to properly care for him for days at a time. How can that be? He’s still a child—how can a child go without proper care? If you’re comfortable with it, let him stay at our house. He can share a room with the triplets at night and accompany Fubao to and from school during the day."

Ye Xiangqian’s tanned face flushed slightly. Thinking about the important mission he had to undertake in a few days, which meant he wouldn’t be back home for about a week, he replied in a low voice, "Then I’ll trouble you, Sis. I’ll bring over Ye Yan’s clothes and daily necessities tomorrow."
