"Why is it good?" Ye Chen asked himself involuntarily.

Actually, he didn't really want to know the answer, he was just a little curious. Curious about how the child's attitude could change, how they could suddenly claim to be good to him the next second.

Tian Xinyuan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's great." After thinking about it, he realized that his answer might not be convincing enough, so he specifically compared someone else, saying, "Hmm... it's like someone who is a little better than Tian Ke."

Tian Ke, who was brought out by Tian Xinyuan for comparison, is currently hesitating whether to pick up his younger brother from school and bring him back to live tomorrow.

According to reason, Tian Xinyuan married into the Ye family, but it's not like they officially got married. It's inevitable to worry when a child is always living with the single Alpha. If anything happens to the lonely and orphaned child, Tian Ke is afraid to even think about it. It's not that Ye Chen has a bad character, setting aside the past, in fact, Alphas like Ye Chen, who have both status and background, and don't indulge in AO relationships, are really rare.

Of course, in Tian Ke's heart, Ye Chen was still far behind himself.

During dinner, Tian Ke mentioned something to his father, but his father looked at him with a somewhat disapproving look.

"I see that Yuanyuan is living quite well over there, and besides, he hasn't mentioned coming back to live on weekends with you. Don't have any prejudice, Ye Chen, this child is a bit older, but he does look quite good." Father Tian's words can be considered his true thoughts. The implication in his words is that if Tian Xin Yuan and Ye Chen live together, they may naturally develop some feelings for each other."

Tian Ke furrowed his brow but remained silent. He thought to himself, "Your actions are truly no different from selling children, especially when it's your own flesh and blood being sold. What on earth did Ye Chen do to make you swallow this reassurance pill?"

The pitiful look of Tian Xinyuan being taken away that night remained stuck in Tian Ke's mind. His younger brother was only eighteen, just turned eighteen, and he was brought back to the nest like this by someone else. Is this for real?

Upon thinking about this, Tian Ke immediately stopped talking and went back to his room. Once there, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed Tian Xinyuan's number.

Dad may be at ease, but Tian Ke isn't.

Tian Xinyuan had just finished taking a shower when he heard his phone ringing as soon as he stepped out of the bathroom. He had set a specific ringtone for Tian Ke and his father, so he could tell who was calling just by hearing the ringtone.

"Big brother!"

Tian Xinyuan walked over to the writing desk, holding his phone in hand. There was excitement in his voice.

Tian Ke first responded with a grateful sound, then asked Tian Xinyuan if he missed home, if he missed his father and himself. Only after receiving an affirmative answer did he get to the main point. "Since Xinyuan misses home, would you like your brother to arrange a driver to pick you up after school tomorrow?" Tian Ke didn't give the other party a chance to speak and continued, "Brother also misses you. Come back and stay during the weekends. It feels empty at home without you."

However, what Tian Ke said was true. Tian Xinyuan's presence at home did bring a lot of liveliness, after all, he was the only lively one in the Tian family. Whether it was during meals or in their free time, there was always the constant sound of children chattering. But now, without that guy who would follow me and call me "brother" as soon as I came home, it feels strangely empty.

Tian Xinyuan did not respond immediately, which was unexpected to Tian Ke.

"I have to tell my brother first when I come back," Tian Xinyuan said, afraid that Tian Ke might not understand. He quickly added, "I mean... Brother Ye Chen."

On the other end of the phone, Tian Ke: ???!!!

But Tian Ke was not going to dwell on how his younger brother had become close to the other person. Instead, he anxiously asked him, "Does it have anything to do with you going home? Do you still need his permission?"

"No, that's not it," Tian Xinyuan said. "Brother Ye Chen will come pick me up after school this afternoon. If we're coming back tomorrow, we should let him know in advance."

Tian Ke also felt that it was probably the case, but from his understanding, it was Ye Chen who sent someone to pick up Tian Xinyuan after school, not knowing that Ye Chen would also be there in person.

The two brothers chatted about their family for a while. Tian Ke would ask questions, and Tian Xinyuan would answer. Finally, Tian Ke glanced at the duration of the call, and then hung up the phone without further delaying his younger brother from doing his homework.

However, what he didn't expect was to receive the news that Tian Xinyuan wouldn't be coming home this weekend.
