82: Double Happiness

Meanwhile, a sleek supercar sped along a country road.

"Brother, driving this fast is useless. We've already looked in several wrong places. Why don't we find somewhere to rest for the night and continue searching tomorrow morning?" Ye Sixue, who had been in the car for a long time, complained incessantly.

"Alright then, that's the only way. Let's find a hotel to stay in, and tomorrow morning we'll ask someone for directions."

The next morning, the sun was still shining brightly.

Ye Xi slowly opened her eyes, finding herself alone in bed.

She got dressed, completed her daily morning routine, and went to the kitchen, where Ye Yaqin was busy cooking.

"Mom, I told you yesterday morning that I'd cook. Why are you still up so early?"

Before she finished speaking, Ye Xi had already entered the kitchen, and the two immediately became busy.

"I've noticed that since you became a girl, your personality has changed a lot," Ye Yaqin chuckled.

"Mom, before, I was just a rebellious teenager who didn't know any better. How could I stay like that forever?" Ye Xi blinked innocently.

"Mom is still young now, she doesn't need you to be so filial. When Mom gets old, it won't be too late for you to be filial," Ye Yaqin looked at her precious daughter with doting eyes, a smile she couldn't hide playing on her lips.

As the two chatted and laughed, a sumptuous breakfast was quickly prepared. Just as it was placed on the dining table in the living room, a knock sounded at the door.

"Who's knocking so early in the morning? I swear. Mom, I'll go see."

Ye Xi walked to the yard, muttering to herself, 'It can't be the widow coming to freeload on food, can it? I only peeked at her bathing once, she can't still be so obsessed with me, can she?'

"Brother, do you think our aunt isn't home? We've been knocking for so long."

Ye Sixue looked a little tired. Neither of them had eaten breakfast, rushing over early.

"Knock twice more. If no one answers, we'll go eat breakfast."

The two had asked for directions with a photo in hand, expending a great deal of effort, and finally found the house.

The main gate slowly opened, and a young woman in a white floral print dress gracefully appeared before them.

Ye Sirui and Ye Sixue were so surprised they couldn't speak for a long time. They finally managed to blurt out, "Why are you here?"

Ye Xi looked at the two, her mind also blank. After a pause, she said, "I was going to ask you the same thing."

"Excuse me, is this Ye Yaqin's house?" Ye Sixue recovered from her shock.

"It's her house. What do you need her for?" Ye Xi's delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"Good, good, good, we didn't come to the wrong place, let us in quickly!"

An uncontrollable excitement surged in Ye Sirui's heart. He eagerly handed the carefully prepared gift to Ye Xi.

"Hmm, I'm a bit confused too. Anything you need to say, tell my mom."

Ye Xi took the gift without much worry. With her as a master, she figured these two wouldn't cause any trouble.

"She's your mom?" Ye Sixue and Ye Sirui were even more dumbfounded.

"If she's not my mom, could she be your mom?" Ye Xi rolled her eyes at the two, feeling they were a bit inexplicable.

Walking into the living room, the group looked at each other, wide-eyed.

"Who are you?"

Ye Yaqin found their faces vaguely familiar, but she knew she had never met them before.

"Are you really Auntie?"

Ye Sixue gazed at the middle-aged woman before her. Though she had entered middle age, she still maintained a charming demeanor, looking quite beautiful, as if time had left no trace on her.

"Could it be that you are...?" Ye Yaqin was quite surprised in her heart. Even if she was stupid, she understood who these two resembled.

"Yes, Grandpa sent us to find you. We put in a lot of effort to get here, and we haven't even had breakfast yet."

Ye Sixue gently rubbed her eyes, a hint of fatigue already showing on her delicate face.

"Well, that's perfect, we're about to eat too. Join us." Ye Xi felt like she was dreaming. Being related to the Ye family could only happen in a dream.

She pinched her thigh hard. It hurt, so it really wasn't a dream.

In a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, the group ate and chatted, and Ye Xi also realized that she was not an ordinary person.

"How is your father doing now?" A hint of joy flashed in Ye Yaqin's eyes.

"They are all very well, thank you for your concern, Auntie."

Looking at the small bowls piled high with food, Ye Sirui and Ye Sixue exchanged smiles, nodding in silent understanding.

"Speaking of which, when I left, you were just a few months old. Seeing you today, you've both grown into handsome young men and beautiful young women."

Ye Yaqin sighed softly, the past events replaying vividly in her mind as if they were yesterday.

"Oh, by the way, Auntie, the information Grandpa gave us showed that Ye Xi should be a handsome young man. How did he become a beautiful girl?" Ye Sirui and Ye Sixue couldn't hold back their curiosity and asked.

Ye Yaqin looked a little embarrassed, retorting, "Ye Xi has always been a girl. It's just that in the past, due to special reasons, she was mistakenly raised as a boy. It's all my fault, really."

Ye Yaqin lightly hit her head, expressing her embarrassment. Of course, she couldn't let Ye Xi continue to live as a boy. Whether she returned to that family didn't matter at all; she just wanted the Ye family to help correct her child's identity.

Ye Xi couldn't help but complain inwardly. How could this be her mother's fault? It could only be the fault of the damn system.

However, she was still extremely excited in her heart. She hadn't expected her father to possibly be a second-generation rich, no, a many-generations rich.

"Hello, Cousin. Don't you think we're very fated?" Ye Sixue looked at Ye Xi with a smile, feeling a bit emotional. Their Ye family truly produced beauties.

This was also very good for her. In the future, the title of the Ye family's most beautiful woman wouldn't have to be on her. She knew that to maintain the Ye family's image all these years, it had nearly killed her.

"Hello, it's certainly quite fated." Ye Xi shook her hand again, then gave an awkward smile. The sudden wealth was still hard for her to accept.

She was very curious why her mother had never mentioned such an important matter.

In stark contrast to Ye Sixue's complete joy, Ye Sirui, amidst his inner excitement, felt a trace of indescribable disappointment.

The girl he deeply loved had become his cousin. How could he easily accept this sudden blood relation?

However, thinking that Ye Xi hadn't shown much interest in him before, he felt a slight relief. Being relatives was better than having no connection at all.

But if that scoundrel Li Xingyu ever dared to let down his cousin, he would personally break his legs.

"I apologize for the oversight last time. I only found out about Xiwen after I sobered up. I really have to thank you a lot."

Ye Sirui felt increasingly guilty. If he hadn't drunk that day, he might have been able to stop Xiwen earlier.

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Ye Xi waved her hand.

Ye Yaqin smiled, "You two knew each other before?"

"Yes."

Ye Xi felt a bit embarrassed now that she had been caught using a fake name to deceive Ye Sixue and Ye Sirui last time.

If she had known they were relatives, she definitely wouldn't have gone so far.

Ye Sixue took a sip of porridge and savored it, then couldn't help but exclaim, "Auntie, your cooking is really delicious."

Ye Yaqin smiled sideways and said, "You child, you always say such nice things. If you really like my cooking, stay here for lunch. I'll treat you well. You can even stay for a few days."

"Really?" A look of joy appeared on Ye Sixue's face.

Although her aunt's house was not a mansion, its cleanliness was admirable. Changing the environment and occasionally returning to nature could indeed bring a few days of pleasant mood.

This situation was actually very easy to understand, just like a child who grew up in the city suddenly coming to the countryside would definitely be joyful for a few days.

After dinner, the group sat on small stools, chatting leisurely.

"Auntie, Grandpa actually misses you a lot. He's just an old tsundere," Ye Sixue said with a helpless look, cupping her face.

Ye Yaqin shook her head, "Don't say that about him. Part of the responsibility was mine back then."

"Auntie, do you still plan to go home?"

Ye Sirui and Ye Sixue really hoped that Ye Yaqin could return to the Ye family. After all, the Ye family was a large conglomerate, and just a tiny bit of its wealth would be enough for the mother and daughter to live comfortably for a lifetime.

Especially since the mother and daughter were so beautiful, the two felt a touch of unbearable pity at the thought of them suffering outside.

"I feel your grandpa would have a hard time accepting me. We'll talk about that later. My daughter and I are doing quite well now."

Ye Yaqin gently shook her head. If someone were to ask her if she regretted her past actions, her answer would be no regrets.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have such an excellent child now.

"Mom, if Grandpa really doesn't want us to come home, then we just won't go back. What are riches and honor compared to you?"

Ye Xi raised an eyebrow and smiled. So what if the Ye family was a big family?

They weren't desperate. She had a cheat system, and if she latched onto Li Xuening's family, her future was promising.

"You child, the Ye family's assets are far beyond your imagination. Are you really not interested at all?"

Ye Yaqin gently stroked Ye Xi's forehead. She was a little surprised by her attitude of treating money like dirt; this child used to love money very much.

"If enjoying wealth and honor means enduring humiliation, then I'd rather not have it."

Ye Xi, with her cheat system, answered with extreme confidence. She was not a pushover.

Ye Sirui and Ye Sixue, seeing that the situation couldn't be reconciled for the moment, smiled and said, "It's indeed too early to talk about this now. I believe our family will definitely be reunited."

Ding ding...

Noticing her phone ringing, Ye Xi picked it up. As soon as she answered, a sickeningly sweet voice came from the other end.

"Baby, where are you? I'm almost at your house, but I'm a little lost. Can you come pick me up?"

Since the call was sudden, Ye Xi had her volume turned up quite high before, so all three heard it and looked at her, dumbfounded.

"Wuwuwu, you answered the phone and dared to ignore me? Do you want me to spank you again tonight?" Li Xuening said with a mischievous laugh from the other end of the phone.

"Sister Xuening, please watch what you say. It might be a bit inconvenient here," Ye Xi whispered.

"Hmph, you didn't even call me 'baby'. I'm really angry. And here I ended my business trip early to come see you," Li Xuening's voice carried a hint of coquetry.

"Okay, send me the address, and I'll come pick you up."

Ye Xi unconsciously touched the back of her head with her jade hand. With such embarrassing words overheard, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

After the call ended, only Ye Sirui looked bewildered. He asked, "What happened?"

Ye Sixue covered her mouth and laughed, "Cousin, our car is outside. I'll go with you right away."

After saying that, she pulled Ye Sirui aside and whispered to him, "Little Xi sister is a lesbian. Did you really think she liked your friend? You're so stupid."

Ye Sirui hit his head with his hand, complaining why he hadn't thought of it sooner.

However, a moment later, a hint of joy appeared on his lips. It was actually quite good that Little Xi sister was a lily. At least she wouldn't be taken by a bad man.

The thought of Little Xi sister bearing children for other men made Ye Sirui feel like he had eaten a pile of dung.

"Good daughter, your partner is here. Go pick her up quickly. Today is a double blessing for our family. When you come back, buy some chicken, duck, fish, and meat from the street. I'll treat everyone well," Ye Yaqin's smile was uncontainable as she gently patted Ye Xi's shoulder.

"Okay, I'll go now," Ye Xi nodded.

After leaving the house, Ye Xi and Ye Sixue got into the sports car and headed towards the address provided by Li Xuening.

"Little Xi sister, when did you and Sister Xuening get together?"

After Ye Sixue parted ways with Ye Xi last time, she found that she seemed to have a different feeling towards girls.

Sometimes she couldn't help but think that perhaps, finding someone like herself wasn't entirely unacceptable.

"A very, very long time ago," Ye Xi swayed her body and tilted her head, smiling.

"Then who pursued whom first?"

"Of course she pursued me?"

Ye Sixue sighed, "Then I'll have to ask Sister Xuening how to pursue girls in the future. If you're experienced, you can help me too."

"This..." Ye Xi didn't know how to reply.

...

On the main road, a sports car looked out of place in the small town.

"Damn, there's actually such a rich person in our backwater place."

"Should we go say hello?"

"Say hello my ass. You're just an old bachelor from the countryside, do you think she'd even look at you?"

Not far away, many people would peek from a distance. The men knew their place; they wouldn't dare to aspire to such flawless, beautiful women.

Beside the luxury sports car, a woman wearing sunglasses held her phone, her red lips parting slightly, "Why isn't she here yet?"

"Hmph, making me wait so long. I'll definitely give you a good 'lesson' tonight." A cunning glint flashed in her eyes.

Two minutes later, a sports car sped towards Li Xuening.

"Wife, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

The girl in the white floral dress immediately gave the woman a big hug.

Li Xuening kissed Ye Xi's forehead and said with dissatisfaction, "Although you're a bit late, I'm very happy you came."

"It's truly enviable and causes jealousy and hatred, but we should still go home. Many people are peeking at you two."

Ye Sixue, who was present, saw the young couple constantly being intimate and having no intention of going home, so she gently reminded them.
