The Ye Family.
Everyone was watching TV except for Ye Ningyuan and Xu Nuo, who were busy in the kitchen. Ye Fenmo was also among them.
Ye Kelan had been staring at Ye Fenmo for quite some time but found that her second uncle never acknowledged anyone's gaze no matter how long she stared; even though Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya exchanged a glance, this guy seemed even more introverted today. He returned home without saying anything and just sat in the living room to watch TV. It was hard for people to accept such a sudden change.
"Second Uncle, I've been looking at you for so long now, couldn't you give me a look" Ye Kelan said coquettishly, to which Ye Fenmo gave her an immediate glance—Ye Kelan’s request was fulfilled.
Yin Tianyu was watching TV and collecting information from the Intelligence Bureau simultaneously.
The family was having a harmonious gathering.
Xu Nuo brought out a fruit platter with grapes, apples, pineapples, kiwifruit—fresh and vibrant. Cheng Anya invited Xu Nuo to sit down: "Let Ningning work alone; you should rest for a bit."
"I'm fine," said Xu Nuo.
She then slipped back into the kitchen.
Ye Kelan propped her chin up and asked, "Second Uncle, what were you doing at xx Square earlier"
"Shopping!" Ye Fenmo gave two more words as a reply.
Cheng Anya raised an eyebrow; shopping Did he even know how to write the word 'shopping' The winter was unusually cold this year, so it was hard to believe that anyone would go out for shopping. Only heaven knew what he had gone there for.
"Second Uncle, are you sure you went shopping" Ye Kelan asked with a smile. Her future second aunt posted on Weibo from xx Square, seemingly in distress and pleading her fans for an encounter.
Yet Second Uncle rushed over right away.
The person is no longer there.
Ye Ningyuan smiled as he watched Xu Nuo, who was seriously chopping vegetables. His wife never held a knife for self-defense or killing; it was rare to see her cutting vegetables, and she wasn't very skilled at it. He was afraid that she might accidentally cut herself.
"Go to the living room and watch TV with dad and mom, I'll be done in no time." Ye Ningyuan said with a smile as he gave her a kiss on the cheek. Xu Nuo turned her head away; luckily, the kitchen was at an angle from the living room so they couldn't see.
"I find TV boring," replied Xu Nuo. She would rather watch him cook.
Ye Ningyuan looked sideways at her serious expression. He loved how earnest she always was regardless of what she did; it was a kind of attitude that he adored.
After more than ten years of marriage and with their children already grown up, each time he looked at her, it felt like they were back in the days when their relationship was the strongest.
"Nuo Nuo, have you thought about coming back to settle down" Ye Ningyuan suddenly asked. Their family had settled in America because of Xu Nuo's work there, and he usually shuttled between America and Britain; they hadn't been home very often over the past decade.
The first terrorist organization, under his leadership, firmly held its position as the world's top terrorist force, unshakable. Tian Yu was now beginning to take on responsibilities from the grassroots level of the first terrorist organization.
Ye Ningyuan couldn't be completely at ease yet with handing everything over entirely; he definitely wanted his son to undergo more training for a few more years.
However, power could gradually be handed down. Managing such an enormous organization was tiring and required a lot of effort. Moreover, there would always be talented individuals emerging in the world. The successors of the first terrorist organization were all elites; although Tian Yu had been chosen as the next leader, if he stepped down now, having Cai Ca lead for the next few years wouldn't make Ye Ningyuan uneasy.
Chu Li also retired in his thirties; it was time for him to retire too. He had sat on this position for far too long.
The first terrorist organization's unwritten rule was that leaders would step down around the age of thirty-five; after dedicating their early lives to the organization, they deserved to live out their later years as they wished.
Although his dark power was the world's largest, it was tumultuous and fraught with danger. Living in such an environment for so long had made him weary.
"It depends on you," Xu Nuo said; she didn't have any attachment to her power.
The most successful and proud thing she could do in this life was marrying him, the rest of it was merely helping him.
"Rock, do you really want to give this position to a family member" Xu Nu said as she turned around and leaned against the countertop, raising an eyebrow to look at him. "Now that you have both black and white under control and there's no significant ups and downs, Tianyu is small too; giving him such a vast territory to rule over without any challenges seems pointless."
Ye Ningyuan smiled; he had thought about this question before, but the anti-terrorism side couldn't afford to pull out their forces. The strength of the international city's anti-terrorists was not to be underestimated either. Over these years, Xu Nu has been deliberately consolidating the anti-terrorist power within permitted limits, just for Tianyu to face more challenges in the future.
The current anti-terrorism organization harbors a terrifying force that originally came from terrorist organizations; Ye Ningyuan had accepted enough challenges already. But if someone else took over...
It would be too boring.
"What do you suggest"
"Actually, besides the successor you’ve chosen, I also fancy another person. Why not let someone else take on this position of Chief Superintendent" Xu Nu suggested.
"If we truly want to challenge Tianyu, withdrawing all forces would be most effective."
"You’re willing to do that"
"Of course... I’m unwilling," Ye Ningyuan said with a laugh. "Tianyu has inherited his father’s temperament..."
"Selfish!"
"That's right, it's our family tradition."
Xu Nu couldn't help but chuckle; Ye Ningyuan had another idea though—his brilliance was too overwhelming for his son to step into the role smoothly. Ye Ningyuan stroked his chin and thought seriously, "Is this why Tianyu always looks at me sideways Is he jealous of his father"
Xu Nu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You have the nerve to say that, who is actually envious of whom."
"He’s definitely jealous of me," Ye Ningyuan said decisively. Xu Nu felt embarrassed; only he could reverse right and wrong like this. Xu Nu shed a tear of sympathy for her son who had been constantly on the go.
"Nu Nu, let's have another baby." Suddenly, Ye Ningyuan hugged Xu Nu, teasingly biting her earlobe while his hands rested gently on her flat abdomen, his voice low and seductive. "Let’s have a beautiful daughter."
"Get lost, we only need one like Ye Kelan."
"Yes, one Kelan is enough. Let's have another baby, a cute and pitiful little princess this time." Ye Ningyuan began to daydream; actually, having another baby with Xu Nuo wouldn't be a problem for him.
"Hey, it was you who said we should have all the kids we're supposed to have, one boy and one girl, so that after we can live our own happy little world." Xu Nuo looked down on him. It was because of his words that they had become parents at 21 years old; Xu Nuo seriously doubted whether he used having children as an excuse for his sexual desires.
After having a son, Ye Ningyuan felt disgusted and insisted on having another daughter, saying the Yang fire in their family was too strong and that they must have a precious girl. He said once they had one boy and one girl, they wouldn't have any more kids, so as to finish what needed to be done early and live an easy life afterward.
So it wasn’t long before the couple had another daughter, fulfilling his wish.
"When you're young, you don't understand things. Two is too few; really, I don't want any more sons because they'll cause fights once born. We should have a daughter instead. If we didn't use contraception, I might even have ten or so daughters." Ye Ningyuan reflected on his efforts and hard work; having ten would be no problem at all.
"You're getting increasingly ridiculous," Xu Nuo smiled as Ye Ningyuan deliberately nudged her from behind with his abdomen. She was greatly annoyed, "Stone, are you looking for death Go cook."
"I want a daughter."
"It's too late; I can't have more kids."
"Thirty-five isn't considered high age; there are still people giving birth at forty-five," Ye Ningyuan said with a smile, trying to convince Xu Nuo to give him another daughter.
"I'm just too old. The babies born might have defects, so no."
"Rubbish talk, as long as our IQs don't mutate, we're geniuses, right Look at Tianyu and Kelan," Ye Ningyuan was very confident in this regard.
"That's exactly why I'm worried about a mutation because of my age."
"Nuo Nuo, I want a daughter."
Xu Nuo smiled: "What if we have a son It's not your decision anyway.y were forming a siege on Muscat. If this continued, Oman government would definitely feel something is wrong and would no longer support their actions. Supporting them was one thing, but if they suff...
