Chapter 003: Men and Women

----------------------------
Ye Group, a Chinese enterprise with very high global recognition, is trusted and highly efficient, and thus collaborates with many international companies. Ye Group has offices all over the world, truly taking the enterprise to the peak.

Today is a special day for Ye Group, because it is the birthday of Ye Daoliang, the CEO of Ye Group,'s grandson. On this day, all Ye Group offices within China cease operations for one day, giving 90,000 domestic employees a holiday.

The Ye Group mansion is located on the outskirts of Global City. Although it is called the outskirts, strictly speaking, it is not really the suburbs, because the area is considered a geomantic treasure. Some well-known companies in China also build their residences here. Over time, this area has become a concentrated district for the wealthy. In recent years, the development has accelerated, and it is no longer just a residential area.

The Ye Group mansion is at the center of the suburban area, neighboring another large enterprise—Zhang International. Zhang International is similar in scale to Ye Group, but due to a previous incident of bad credibility, Zhang International is not as popular as Ye Group.

Ye Group mansion.

"Where is the baby? My baby?" called Yang Lan, the daughter-in-law of the CEO of Ye Group.

"The baby is here," said the young nanny, holding Ye Yun, and quickly yet steadily walked to the bedside of the large, comfortable room where Yang Lan was on confinement. She handed Ye Yun to Yang Lan.

Yang Lan reached out her still-weak hands to take the baby, first kissed the baby's small face, and then let the baby rest comfortably in her arms.

"Xiao Cui, you can go out first and close the door," Yang Lan looked at the nanny Xiao Cui. Thinking of what she was about to do, a feverish-like feeling involuntarily appeared on her face.

"I'll go downstairs first. If you need anything, let me know in time," Xiao Cui said obediently, turned, and left the room, gently closing the door behind her.

Only then did Yang Lan let out a sigh of relief. She looked at the baby indulgently and softly said, "Baby, be good later. Mommy will feed you now." As she spoke, a blissful smile appeared on her delicate face.

Feed… feed?!

Ye Yun, who had been comfortably dozing, was immediately at a loss when he heard these two words. Come on, I'm twenty-three years old already, I don't need any feeding!You look like you're just in your early twenties, and yet you're feeding me…
Ye Yun had just resolved to treat Yang Lan, who was a few years younger than him, as his mother, but this single phrase instantly shattered his determination.
Yang Lan held Ye Yun with her left hand while using her right hand to lift up her loose clothing, then brought the baby's mouth close to a certain spot. Her expression was very serious, as if afraid of disturbing the little baby.
Smelling the milk so close, Ye Yun closed his eyes in despair. What kind of world is this! Making a grown man go… go to that thing. Damn it, Heaven, why did you have to make me reincarnate as a little kid!
In his previous life, he had still kept his virginity, and now, faced with this situation, how could his heart remain calm.
Yang Lan frowned because the baby wasn't actively sucking. But according to the parenting books she had read, babies usually would automatically approach in this situation. Why wasn't he?
Yang Lan thought maybe the baby hadn't touched a certain spot, so she exerted a little force on Ye Yun's small head, bringing his lips to the spot. This time, you should move your mouth, right?
Feeling the softness in his mouth, Ye Yun's mind went completely blank. He was totally stunned—what the hell! But soon he felt his face heating up.
Utter embarrassment, and now blushing…
Ye Yun just stood there motionless, watching to see Yang Lan's reaction.
"Baby, baby…" Yang Lan softly called Ye Yun. No wonder the baby wasn't responding—it turned out he had a fever! What to do?
Yang Lan panicked immediately and hurriedly called out Xiao Cui's name. Xiao Cui, who was waiting outside the door, rushed in as soon as she heard Yang Lan's call.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Yang Lan's anxious expression, Xiao Cui felt a little uneasy herself.
Yang Lan looked at the baby in her arms, then at Xiao Cui, and said urgently, "Come take a look, the baby seems to have a fever."
Xiao Cui also ran to the bedside in surprise to check on the baby. Sure enough, the baby's face was very red. She reached out to check his temperature and immediately relaxed a bit. She explained, "The baby doesn't have a fever. His temperature is normal."
Yang Lan was puzzled and asked, "Then why is his face so red?... Look, it's getting even redder."
Xiao Cui looked back at the baby again, and the baby's face really was redder than before.
At this moment, Ye Yun was extremely uncomfortable.He shouted in his heart, "Big sister, I've already called you big sister, please, can you stop talking? The more you say it, the more embarrassed I feel... no... face..."

Finally, he seemed to really make up his mind, turned his head away, tightly shut his eyes, bit somewhere, and took a deep suck...

"Ah!" Yang Lan's delicate body, which was half-leaning, instantly stiffened a little, and a low cry of surprise came out of her mouth.

Heh, it tastes pretty good...

Ye Yun's mouth kept moving, the more he sucked, the more he felt that some liquid was delicious, so he stopped caring about pride and decided to fill his stomach first.

Yang Lan expressed a burst of delight again, saying, "The baby's face isn't red anymore."

Xiao Cui also breathed a sigh of relief, but to be safe, she went out to call the family doctor in. The doctor only examined the baby after he stopped asking for it, and everything was normal.

The afternoon's events might be the most unforgettable for Ye Yun in this life. He drifted off to sleep, lips lightly licked and feeling good. It probably wouldn't take more than a meal's worth of time, and he woke up, awakened by kisses.

"Po~" "Po~" "Po~"

Those were his grandparents giving him kisses like a violent storm.

"Oh my, po~ my little sweetheart. Po~ my little baby. Po~ my little ancestor. Po~ Grandma was so busy this morning, only now did I have time to see you. Po~ You won't blame Grandma, right? Po~ Haha, Grandma loves you to death. Po~ po~ po~"

"Alright, alright, old lady, now it's my turn. Oh my little sweetheart. Po~ You're so cute. Po~ You look more like your mother. Po~ Huh? Are you a boy or a girl? Why do you look like a little girl? Po~ Let me see, hahaha! It's a boy! It's a boy! Down there is that little thing. Po~"

Ye Yun's face turned pale. That old man boldly took off his pants, became extremely excited upon seeing little Ye Yun, and even teased little Ye Yun...

"Looks like I need to pull out my trump card," Ye Yun thought.

"Waaah!"

A crisp cry sounded in old Ye's arms, followed by a slight reproving voice: "Dad, you made the baby cry! Don't cry, baby, Mommy is here."Yang Lan took Ye Yun in her arms. Strangely enough, as soon as the baby was in his mother's hands, he immediately stopped crying and even seemed inclined to approach some high place...

Old Ye said in a sulky tone, “This little rascal, he doesn't even want to let an old man like me hold him.”

Ye Yun's grandmother glared at him, pointing her finger at the middle of Old Ye's forehead and scolding, “Look at your manners, you've scared my little sweetheart.”

Ye Daoliang couldn't take it anymore. He stared at Grandma, but no matter how he looked, his expression seemed submissive: “My manners? Of course, I have good manners, otherwise, how could such a large Ye Group have developed?”

“All right, Dad,” Yang Lan said with a smile. “Where is Manager Ye?”

At this, Ye Daoliang said seriously, “That kid went to handle the baby's banquet arrangements.”

Grandma stepped forward, gently stroking the baby's head affectionately, and said, “My dear grandson's banquet has to be the best, so everyone can see that our Ye family finally has a grandson. Bo~” After speaking, she couldn't help but kiss the baby on the face again.

Ye Yun now felt very tired. He had just found a trace of true energy in his dantian. After drawing it along the meridians according to the memory of his past life and completing a cycle, he felt completely drained. After all, his body was still that of an infant, so after a full cycle, he fell into a deep sleep from weakness.

Seeing the baby calm in her arms, Yang Lan softly spoke to her grandparents, “The baby is asleep. I'll take him back to the room first, and after the banquet starts later, I won't come out.”

Grandpa pondered for a moment and said, “Yes, too many people would be bad for his health. You should rest well, there's no need to come out later.”

Yang Lan nodded and carried the baby back to the room.

The banquet was a great success. Almost all well-known enterprises in Huaxia were represented. Everyone brought various precious gifts to congratulate each other. Everyone, especially those from Ye Group, was immersed in joy, and the banquet proceeded in an orderly manner.

The daughter-in-law of the CEO of Zhangjia International, Zhou Duoling, also came carrying her newborn daughter. She had been very close friends with Ye Yun's mother, Yang Lan, since childhood. They had even scheduled their weddings on the same day, showing the sincerity of their friendship. Even the timing of having children was nearly simultaneous. One day after Yang Lan gave birth, Mrs. Zhou also had her baby.At this moment, the two sisters were gathered in Yang Lan's room reminiscing about old times.

"Lanlan, tomorrow is the banquet I am hosting, you must come. Oh, and bring the baby too," Zhou said with a smile, holding her daughter in front of Ye Yun. She sized him up, then said, "I think your baby will definitely grow up to be very handsome."

Yang Lan's face glowed with a happy smile as she said, "Your daughter will also grow up to be lovely. How about we arrange a childhood betrothal for them?"

Speechless—what do you mean by arranging a childhood betrothal? Did you get my consent? I definitely do not agree! Fine, since you are forcing me, then I will cry in front of you.

So, Yang Lan's baby burst into loud crying, and it seemed to escalate.

Now Yang Lan panicked, hurriedly picking up the baby, murmuring, "Baby, don't cry, baby, don't cry," while feeding him. The unscrupulous Ye Yun finally stopped fussing.

To be honest, I like this feeling more and more. Ye Yun greedily took and enjoyed, yet also displayed his manly side, pinching somewhere on Yang Lan as if this was the only way to eat—or rather, drink—more fully...

Seeing Ye Yun's adorably charming look, Zhou Duoling's gaze grew worried and envious. Her words carried a subtle sadness that she could not hide: "Lanlan, for the health of your baby, I cannot arrange a childhood betrothal for my daughter, although I am willing."

Yang Lan's body jolted, and she asked, "Why?"

Zhou Duoling looked fondly at the daughter in her arms, her heart suddenly aching, and she smiled bitterly, "Actually, my daughter was born with a congenital defect in her left leg, and it cannot be cured. If she were to marry your baby in the future, it would be a burden to him."

Yang Lan, incredulous, reluctantly put down Ye Yun, stepped forward, and took the baby from Zhou Duoling's arms. She looked at the baby, then at her best friend, and said, "How could this be? Why is she born with a defect, why?"

Zhou Duoling's eyes gradually grew misty. She murmured, "I don't know, I really don't know why this happened, my baby…"

Seeing her friend in pain, Yang Lan's gaze toward Zhou Duoling's baby became even more tender.
