Chapter 246
Xu Yan: "!"
Bai Hua and Xu Yi: "...?!!"
Xu Yan's voice gradually grew quieter: "Brother, how... how did you know?"
Bai Hua looked confused: "What do you mean? Your brother is right? Ye Jin isn't human?"
Xu Yan's gaze wandered: "Well, he's a supernatural creature..."
Bai Hua was even more bewildered: "Are you being silly or am I? There's no such thing as supernatural creatures in this world!"
But Xu Yi remained silent.
Looking at the attitudes of these three people, Bai Hua was finally forced to accept a bit of reality: "Do you... all know about the existence of supernatural creatures?"
Xu Yi took a deep breath: "I've heard about it from people during business negotiations, but I don't know much about it."
Bai Hua turned to Xu Yan: "So what kind of creature is Ye Jin? Is Xiao Xiao also supernatural?"
Xu Yan carefully observed her expression: "Ye Jin is a White Wolf, and big sister is a fox, but I've never seen big sister's true form."
Bai Hua felt completely dazed: "So, Ye Jin isn't actually Xiao Xiao's blood brother."
Xu Mo slapped the table, sitting on the sofa: "Yan, did you know about this from the beginning?"
His sudden action startled Bai Hua and Xu Yi, and all three frowned at Xu Yan.
Xu Yan rubbed her brow: "Mom, it's a long story."
Bai Hua tapped the table: "Explain it clearly in three sentences or less."
Xu Yan obediently sat down and quickly said: "To put it simply... I've known Ye Jin since my previous life, or even the life before that. In this life, he came specifically to find me."
Bai Hua let out a long sigh: "So you remember things from your previous life now?"
Xu Yan was silent for a moment: "Mom, I didn't have a good life in my previous incarnation. Ye Jin was my emotional support back then."
Bai Hua was stunned for a moment. She shook her head: "Let's not talk about that. When you were pregnant before, was Xiao Xiao always by your side because of this?"
Xu Yan looked at her family's reactions and managed to relax a little: "Yes."
Xu Yi looked a bit worried: "Is Tao Tao alright now?"
Thinking of her son, Xu Yan couldn't help but smile: "Dad, Tao Tao is doing great. Big sister gave me and Tao Tao a lot of nourishing medicine back then."
Xu Yi nodded: "That's good."
Xu Mo frowned: "Wait a minute, I remember you mentioned before that Ye Jin also had some connection with us in our previous life."
Xu Yan bit her fingertip and thought for a moment: "Um, well, back then I brought Ye Jin home when he was still a little wolf cub, and then he lived with us in his White Wolf form for more than a decade."
Bai Hua and Xu Yi were confused again: "What does that mean? Were we also a family in our previous life? And we lived with Ye Jin for a long time?"
Xu Yan was starting to get confused herself. As she was organizing her thoughts, Ye Jin came downstairs carrying Tao Tao: "Mom, Dad, all of us were a family in your previous life."
Xu Yi pondered: "No wonder... no wonder I didn't feel like beating you up that much when you took our Yan away."
However, Bai Hua's attention was completely focused on Tao Tao. She looked at the little wolf cub in Ye Jin's arms with shock: "Is this Tao Tao? How did our Tao Tao turn into this?"
Xu Yan ran over and took Tao Tao into her arms: "Mom, big sister said Tao Tao's power is unstable. When he grows up a bit, he'll be able to change between human and little wolf forms at will."
The soft and adorable little wolf cub was held in his mother's arms. He looked a bit tired, with his eyes closed, but his little paws were clinging to Xu Yan's shoulder.
Xu Yan coughed: "Mom, don't you think Tao Tao is cute like this?"
Bai Hua's gaze gradually became blank: "He's cute, sure. But! Are you asking me to accept that my precious little grandson is a wolf cub?"
Xu Yan quickly placed Tao Tao in Bai Hua's arms: "Mom, you don't have a choice. You wouldn't want our little Tao Tao to grow up with just the two of us raising him, would you?"
Bai Hua instinctively held the little wolf cub tighter: "How can parents be so irresponsible and still be so confident about it?"
Xu Yan pulled Ye Jin, preparing to leave and continue their fun outing. She waved: "Tao Tao! Be extra cute with your grandparents, or else mommy might get spanked!"
Tao Tao, still aloof even as a little wolf: "Awoo~ Awoo~"
Bai Hua didn't even have time to stop these two irresponsible people. She stiffly looked at the little one in her arms: "Tao Tao?"
The little one, deeply remembering what his mom had just said, nuzzled his little head against his grandmother's chest: "Awoo?"
The wolf cub's ears were half-drooped, his jet-black eyes round and big, looking impossibly adorable.
Bai Hua's heart melted: "Is Tao Tao hungry? Do you want grandpa to make some meat for you?"
The little wolf whimpered affectionately, his little voice making even Xu Mo's heart melt: "Wolf cub or not, he's still our Yan's child."
Xu Yi also resigned himself to the situation: "Tao Tao, wait a little bit, okay? Grandpa will go make something delicious for you."
Bai Hua, holding the wolf cub, kicked Xu Mo lightly: "Go find some small clothes for Tao Tao. We can't let our little treasure get cold."
Xu Mo willingly got up, grumbling as he went upstairs: "Alright. How can Ye Jin be such an irresponsible father? He didn't even think to get clothes for Tao Tao."
Ye Jin and Xu Yan, who were eavesdropping outside the front door, exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.
Just as they thought!
Now they could go out and continue their eating and drinking spree without worries.
As the youngest member of the family, the little wolf was undoubtedly the... second most pampered little darling in the house.
After all, the most pampered would always be his mother.
However, he had no complaints about this. In fact, he also doted on his mother.
After Bai Hua and Xu Yi had accepted that their little grandson was a wolf cub and they had spent a few days together, Xu Yan took her son back to the pub.
She held the little wolf, gently pinching his ear: "Tao Tao, are you hungry? Shall we ask your dad to cook?"
The little wolf was very cooperative, calling out in his milk-soft voice: "Awoo awoo~"
Xu Yan couldn't stop laughing: "Ye Jin, go cook quickly!"
Ye Jin stood up and leaned down to kiss Xu Yan: "Yan, what do you want to eat?"
Xu Yan was momentarily stunned, her face flushing. "What are you doing? Tao Tao is right here! You can't do this next time!"
Ye Jin couldn't help but laugh. "Tao Tao doesn't understand anyway. We don't need to worry about him."
Xu Yan was about to explode with embarrassment. "No, no! When I say no, I mean no! Go make dinner, or you'll be sleeping downstairs tonight."
Ye Jin covered the eyes of the little wolf cub—their unwanted third wheel—with one hand, while using the other to grip Xu Yan's chin and kiss her forcefully. "Yan Yan, who taught you to be like this? Hm?"
Xu Yan's face turned bright red. "Mmph— get away from me!"
