Watching the two children run into the house, Ye Liyan turned to Xinyan and said, "Thank you."
Xinyan smiled gently, "They are Ninghuiâs sons, He Jinxuanâs nephews, so itâs only right to be good to them. Besides, they are so adorable; I really do like them."
Although these words stirred some discomfort among the others in the courtyard, Xinyan was speaking from the heart.
Ye Liyan looked at the door, "I didnât believe in karma before, but now I do. If Ninghui hadnât spoken up back then, my father-in-law and mother-in-law might not have taken Jinxuan back to the Capital.
I donât think they would have imagined that because of their kindness back then, it would result in good coming to their two grandsons. I know that Jinxuan, whether out of gratitude or responsibility, is truly sincere to them.
Without the kindness of the past, I doubt the other branches of the Shen Family would have any reason to send the two children to Sanyuan City. The days the two kids would spend in the Shen Family are imaginable.
So I have countless times thanked my father-in-law and mother-in-law in my heart, countless times felt fortunate to have Jinxuan as an uncle, ensuring the two children could be safe and sound."
Xinyan knew these words were Ye Liyanâs genuine feelings.
In fact, what he said was true; if it werenât for the events of those years, the other branches of the Shen Family wouldnât have decisively sent the two children to the He Family, as if shedding a burden.
Xinyan nodded in agreement and then teased as she looked at the two kids rushing out of the room, "Who are these little handsome guys?"
Sili was a bit embarrassed, tugging at the corner of his clothes sheepishly.
But Little Siyan raised his head proudly, "The little handsome guys from Daddyâs and Uncleâs and Auntieâs house."
This remark made all the adults in the courtyard burst into laughter.
Even Lin Kaixin, who had been in a bit of a fog listening earlier, laughed along.
She wasnât sure about the stories Ye Liyan mentioned, but she roughly understood that thereâs a reason why He Jinxuan is good to the two kids.
Looking at the expressions of the two little ones, she also agreed with Xinyanâs earlier words - these little ones are really cute and lovable.
After the little ones tried on both sets of clothes,
they put on the long-sleeve outfit and dashed outside after a perfunctory request.
Once the little ones were outside, Ye Liyan said, "Iâll go prepare the dishes, and later you can be the head chef; those little ones have been waiting eagerly."
Lin Kaixin immediately teased, "With your culinary skills, all this time, and not the least bit improved, no wonder the kids are looking forward to Xinyan coming."
Ye Liyan gave Lin Kaixin a sidelong glance, "As if youâre any better at cooking, arenât you just like me, yet you still have the nerve to talk about me."
Lin Kaixin awkwardly touched her nose and argued, "I just havenât gotten around to learning properly. If I really put my mind to it, I wouldnât be any worse than you."
Then she awkwardly grabbed Xinyanâs hand and pointed to a bench not far away, "Come on, letâs go over there and talk business."
Xinyan noticed her discomfort and replied with a smile, "Sure."
Xinyan shared her ideas with Lin Kaixin, who responded eagerly, "Donât worry, this wonât be a big issue. Iâll go talk to the factory director when I go to work tomorrow. Just wait for my good news."
After that, the two chatted a bit more, and Lin Kaixin said happily, "Youâve really got guts. When your clothing store opens, Iâll definitely bring people over to support you."
Xinyan chuckled, "Then itâs settled. You must come over when the time comes."
