There was no hint of blame in Alpha's tone, but Tian Xinyuan couldn't help but feel, for some reason, that he had caught a glimpse of this underlying meaning in the other person's words.

Tian Xinyuan wanted to respond, but he was casually brushed off by the other party's following sentence.

Ye Chen's face didn't look too good, devoid of his usual gentle and pleasant expression. After uttering those words, he immediately turned his head away, not even bothering to glance at Tian Xinyuan again.

Tian Xinyuan suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart.

It's not the usual feeling of being upset after making a mistake and being lectured by elders.

This feeling is very strange, as if he is experiencing it for the first time.

Amidst all this, it brought him more of a sense of helplessness.

Ye Chen is not Tian Ke, and their identities are completely different. If we switch roles, if Tian Ke were the one picked up today, then Tian Xinyuan would immediately act cute to him and fervently promise that there would not be a next time after realizing that he was angry. Because no one knows Tian Ke's temperament better than Tian Xinyuan himself, he knows that his older brother clearly responds better to gentleness than force.

But now facing Ye Chen, it was impossible to use the same approach that was used to deal with a blood brother.

Even if he could, Tian Xinyuan would not do it.

After Ye Chen said "forget it," he remained silent and did not speak again. He did not utter a word, and Tian Xinyuan did not make a sound either.

The atmosphere inside the car suddenly became somewhat stifling.

It was unclear how long the silence lasted, but Alpha let out a soft sigh, finally breaking the stillness.

Yuan Yuan."

Fortunately, she only called out "Yuanyuan" and didn't call out his full name.

Tian Xinyuan thought to himself, feeling fortunate.

Whenever Tian Ke gets angry, he will inevitably yell out his full name, with each word accompanied by a pause.

Tian Xinyuan still held his schoolbag in his arms and blinked as he surveyed the other person's expression. He seemed to be certain that Ye Chen was not angry like Tian Ke earlier, so he cautiously asked, "Brother, were you angry just now?"

However, he didn't know that all his little thoughts were written all over his face and couldn't escape Alpha's eyes.

Turning eighteen is considered to be an adult in legal terms, but in Ye Chen's eyes, the Omega in front of him still resembled a child who hadn't grown up yet. Innocent and slightly naive. The reason for this could be easily surmised without much speculation - it was nurtured through years of indulgent and pampered upbringing in the Tian family.

He might as well go along with the other party's intentions.

Ye Chen paused, his expression relaxing as he said, "No."

Sure! Here's the translation:

"Sure enough, Tian Xinyuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his response. The caution and wariness he had shown earlier immediately disappeared."

If a little kitten encounters unfamiliar things and people while exploring the outside world, it will gradually extend its tiny paw to investigate. Only after confirming that the other party poses no harm, it will then roll over and present its soft, vulnerable belly for rubbing.

So, Tian Xinyuan is in such a situation.

Ye Chen was not without anger. On the contrary, the anxiety he felt when he couldn't find the person instantly turned into anger upon seeing Tian Xinyuan. However, this anger disappeared in an instant at the words "Brother, have you been waiting for a long time?" spoken by the other party.

He waited in the car for more than ten minutes, but Tian Xinyuan's figure was nowhere to be seen among the groups of students coming out of the school gate. The senior students stayed latest, and after the crowds had all passed, the school gate quickly became empty. It was the first time Ye Chen had come to pick up a child from school, and coupled with his father-in-law's repeated instructions on such matters, he couldn't help but be anxious. With no one to pick up, his heart was hanging in the air. Fortunately, Tian Xinyuan had turned back after dropping off Ji Chuanyu. Before Ye Chen had a chance to press the dial button, he spotted the figure of the other person.

Tian Xinyuan did not know what Ye Chen had been thinking in his heart, but in this matter, he could only feel that the other party was genuinely very kind to him.

Very, very good.

He curled up the corners of his mouth and sincerely said, "Brother, you are so kind." Unlike Tian Ke, who gets flustered over trivial matters, especially when he becomes angry with himself at the slightest provocation.

Perhaps there was a slight comparison, so there was no need to say who was better in this aspect. Tian Xinyuan was delighted to give Alpha a small area in his own territory, they were on the same side.

However, the Alpha, who concealed everything very deeply, humbly accepted the other party's praise.
