The moment Ye Xinghe saw Chu Mofan, her smile froze instantly. She stared at him blankly for a few seconds. "Brother Mofan, are you going home?"

"Have you finished talking with my older brother?"

Chu Mofan was already furious, and hearing these words only added fuel to the fire! He cursed Ye Xinghe a thousand times in his heart!

What's wrong with Ye Xinghe today! All she says is a subtle way of telling me to leave!

Before he could even speak, Ye Xinghe quickly stood up from her seat. "Brother Qingmeng, Sister Nanqing, please sit here for a while. I have to go see Brother Mofan off."

Chu Mofan's lips curved slightly as he gently pushed Ye Xinghe back into her seat, his tone tinged with a hint of reproach as he said, "Xinghe, what's wrong with you today? Are you really not welcoming your brother Mofan to our home?"

Ye Xinghe looked at him, smiling innocently, but inwardly she felt like throwing up. She obediently replied:

"No. I thought you were going home for the holiday."

"So you mean you want to stay and spend the holiday at my house?"

Ye Xinghe raised an eyebrow at him with a smile, thinking to herself, "Since you've been so straightforward with me, I don't need to beat around the bush with you. Let's put everything out in the open."

Although Chu Mofan's lips curled up, there was no smile in his eyes. He met Ye Xinghe's gaze and said three words indifferently, "Is it okay?"

"Of course!" Ye Xinghe said with a bright smile, then changed the subject.

"But don't you have any other family in Jiangyang? Don't you need to go back and celebrate the festival with them? Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, shouldn't families be reunited?"

“Your situation is different from my two friends. They have no relatives or friends in Jiangyang City, which is why I invited them to my home.”

Ye Xinghe spoke with an extremely serious expression, like a little girl with very low emotional intelligence, completely ignoring Chu Mofan's extremely gloomy face!

Especially when Chu Mofan noticed that Hua Qingmeng, sitting at the round table, was looking at him with an extremely provocative smile on his face. Moreover, when their eyes met, Hua Qingmeng deliberately covered his face to suppress a laugh.

Chu Mofan's face was ashen, barely suppressing his anger as he looked at Ye Xinghe with a forced smile. He didn't know what to say to her. He felt that coming to the Ye family today was utterly humiliating! If he could turn back time, he would never have set foot in the Ye family's house again!

Ye Xinghe blinked her big eyes, her gaze filled with childlike innocence, and thought to herself, "Chu Mofan, this is just the beginning. Today, I'm going to trample your self-esteem under my feet and crush it mercilessly!"

At this moment, Ye Xingyu came out of the house and asked, "What are you two doing standing here?"

"Mofan, why don't you go sit down? I'll get you a chair."

Ye Xinghe returned to her seat and said jokingly, "Big brother, don't give it to him, let him get it himself."

"You've been to my house so many times, and you still act like a guest."

Then, he chatted casually with Hua Qingmeng and Su Nanqing, putting on an air of "I didn't invite you, you insisted on staying."

Ye Xingchen didn't move. He had disliked Chu Mofan from the very beginning. From the first moment he met him, Ye Xingchen felt that the man was extremely hypocritical. His words, expressions, and actions all revealed his scheming.

It turns out that Ye Xingchen was only being kind to Chu Mofan because his sister liked him, so he treated him fairly well on the surface.

However, recently, Ye Xingchen felt that Ye Xinghe's feelings for Chu Mofan had faded, and she no longer mentioned Chu Mofan's name every day. So he no longer needed to pretend.

The round table wasn't very big to begin with; it was just right for four people, but a little cramped for six. If you moved even slightly, you'd bump into the person next to you.

Ye Xinghe picked up the plate and said, "Everyone, come and try this! It's chocolate that Sister Nan Qing brought over, it's super delicious! Highly recommended!"

Everyone except Su Nanqing took one.

The observant Chu Mofan noticed this and gave him his signature smile, "Why isn't Miss Su eating?"

"I'm cutting out sugar lately and trying to manage my figure," Su Nanqing replied politely. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Hua Qingmeng opening a chocolate wrapper. She suddenly grabbed Hua Qingmeng's arm. "Qingmeng, don't eat chocolate. Your throat hasn't been feeling well lately, and eating too much sweets will make it worse."

Hua Qingmeng frowned slightly and stopped what she was doing.

Chu Mofan seized the opportunity and chuckled softly, "Mr. Hua, your sister-in-law is so good to you, she even remembered that your throat was sore."

Hua Qingmeng glanced at Chu Mofan with disdain. "You're envious, aren't you?"

"I really didn't know before, Mr. Chu, that you were an orphan."

Chu Mofan was so angry that his face turned red, and the flesh on his face was trembling slightly. However, given his current status, he dared not refute Hua Qingmeng.

Ye Xinghe, standing to the side, burst into laughter. "Hahaha, Brother Qingmeng, you're really going to kill me with laughter. He's not an orphan."

"He has a family."

Chu Mofan felt slightly relieved because Ye Xinghe spoke up for him. He was about to emphasize his relationship with Ye Xinghe when she unexpectedly added:

"Perhaps his family simply doesn't care about him."

"Haha, it's okay, Brother Mofan. You've decided to call me your dad, so I'll take care of you from now on!"

Then, another burst of laughter followed.

Chu Mofan couldn't laugh at all. He squinted at Ye Xinghe, who was laughing so hard she was doubled over, and wished he could slap her hard.

He snorted and said slowly, "You can't be a father, and your gender is wrong too."

"Or, why don't you become my wife?"

These words brought Ye Xinghe's laughter to an abrupt halt.

Hua Qingmeng and Ye Xingchen's faces also darkened immediately.

Ye Xinghe's lips curled into a cold smile. She leaned forward slightly, rested her elbow on the table, and looked at Chu Mofan with a meaningful gaze. "Many people want to marry me. Who do you think you are!"

Then, another burst of laughter erupted.

After laughing for a while, Ye Xinghe finally stopped. "Brother Mofan, why aren't you laughing?"

"I was just joking with you, you're not angry, are you?!"

Then, Ye Xinghe pouted, "This is so boring. People are right, a three-year age difference means there's a generation gap, and we can't even take a joke."

Ye Xingchen chimed in from the side, "I just laughed! Don't drag me into it."

Chu Mofan forced a smile and said nonchalantly, "I'm not angry. I just don't want to lower myself to your level, little girl."

"Oh? Really?" Ye Xinghe fluttered her long eyelashes, her eyes gleaming with a strange light.

"Then... give me a smile!"

"Call me Dad one more time!"
