CHAPTER 117

Seeing as they were ditched by their mothers, the two of them decided to sit down. They sat facing each other. Ye Yumi had her back facing the direction the women headed to. While Yang Wenkai sat facing her.

"So...." Yang Wenkai turned to look at Ye Yumi.

"So how are you coping with the company and the environment?" Ye Yumi asked.

Seeing as she had opened a topic for a discussion, Yang Wenkai breath out a silent sigh of relief.

"The environment is okay. As for the company, I can handle it. Also your dad and uncle Li are very helpful. How about you?" He asked.

"Me?"

"Yes, you. Or should I not be asking?" He raised his brows at her.

"No no no. You can ask. Well, I am kind of running the Ye Conglomerate. But I am new to it," she said.

"Oh really? So you really achieved your dreams, huh?" He said.

"Uh huh. I am very happy. Although I am just the Vice president, I still feel fulfilled."

Back when they were still children Ye Yumi had always wanted to be like her father. A businessman and also a profit maker. It surprised everyone because they thought that as a girl, she would like modeling or acting or even be a fashion designer.historical

So when she voiced out her dream of becoming like her father, her parents decided to support her wholeheartedly and also because Ye Chaoxiang had a knack for health professions more than the way he liked to do business.

Then they came to a decision. Ye Chaoxiang will be allowed to enjoy his career as a doctor but he must return to the family business. Ye Chaoxiang agreed immediately as he is knowledgeable in the two fields and also liked them. Only that he preferred one more than the other.

"I am surprised that you still remember that?" Ye Yumi said. It had been long she saw him before this last three years that has passed. She was surprised that he still remembered their childhood memories.

"Why would I forget that? I even remember the time when you, Xiang and Jin came over to the mansion for a sleepover because our parents went in a business trip," he said.

"What? You remember that? That was one long and scary night," Ye Yumi shook her head in amusement as she remembered what had happened.

"Yeah it was. You, Chen and Wenna were very scared. You even cried and screamed a whole lot," Yang Wenkai chuckled.

"Hey. I was still little back then. How could you expect a five years old kid to not be awfully terrified at that scary and gory movie?" Ye Yumi pouted.

"That is true. I and the boys were also scared but we decided to act fearless. It was the last night of the sleepover I guess."

"Yes, it was. That was when our parents returned unexpectedly earlier than usual from the trip and met us wailing."

"Oh. Mum fired the nanny in charge that night. I pitied that lady."

Yang Wenkai's parents, especially his father, we so enraged that he instantly order that the security drag the nanny out if the house. The children were terrified. Even Yang Wenkai and his siblings begged that they stayed in their Mr and Mrs Yang's room for that night as they were still scared.

"You pitied her? I did not because she forced us to watch it saying that children should learn how to face their fears. Pfft.. What a lame excuse. That movie causes nightmares for me for almost two months," Ye Yumi said.

"What? It was that serious? I did not know about that. Why did we not not know?" Yang Wenkai asked in surprise.

"It was more serious that I had to see a therapist to help stabilize my mental state. My parents did not want the Yangs to feel guilty over the issue so that told us not to utter a word to you anyone."

Those times were really petrifying for Little Yumi back then. She used to cry and scream whenever she had nightmares. Little Yumi's room was abandoned for that period of time as she refused to stay alone.

"I am sorry about that. I hope this discussion did not trigger your fears," he asked worriedly as her searched her face for any hint of panic or fear.

"Nah. It is fine. I am done with all that stuff. I am mentally stable," she waved her hands at his worry.

"Oh! What about that time that you fell from a tree because you were dated to by a kid in the neighborhood?" Ye Yumi thought of another funny incident from their childhood days.

"Yeah I remember that clearly. I also remember hurting my arm so bad that I could not even lift it or move it," he said.

"Uh huh. Sister Wenna got so mad that she bit the boy's hand. Jin and Xiang tried so hard to get her to stop and-"

"And you cried because I was not going to carry you anymore. Chen also had a hard time in coaxing you to also stop," Yang Wenkai completed her sentence.

"Well you can say that. I really enjoyed the biggy back ride you gave me because you were taller than all of us. I loved the height," she chuckled.

Yang Wenkai's heart skipped a bit at her words.

'Did she just say she loved my height? Does she still love it even now?' He thought.

Yang Wenkai's height is one of the things that made him attractive. Being a man of 192cm, girls would always look more than once if he passes by.

He shook his head lightly to get those stupid thoughts out of his mind. He was not even so sure why he cared so so much about her, liking his height. He is already used to the same compliment he received from other people he met, especially in The States.

Yang Wenkai and Ye Yumi continued reminiscing about their blissful childhood unknown to them that their mothers where watching them from a hidden spot.

"Aww they look so good together, right Suyin?" Mrs Li said with a dreamy voice as she admits the young ones.

"Yes, they are." Mrs Ye was also happy about the scene that was unfolding in her sight. Meanwhile, Mrs Yang could not help but grin widely at her friends' opinions about her son and Ye Suyin's daughter, Ye Yumi. She knew she was right when she guessed that her son liked Ye Yumi.

The three peeping Tom's of a mother they were continued watching the duo. They could not hide their smile when they saw the how Ye Yumi threw her head back as she laughed at whatever Yang Wenkai had said and vice versa.

Mrs Yang was the happiest as it has been long since she saw her first son smile so genuinely. Since he came back he smiled but it was not as beautiful and bright as the one he had on his face now.

'Will I get to see this new smile of his if Ye Yumi becomes his girlfriend or my daughter-in-law?'

"Say Chenguang? Does your son have a girlfriend?" Mrs Li Mingyu asked out of the blue making the other two women look at her.

"What? I just wanted to know if he his single or already taken. Am I in the wrong for asking?" Mrs Li shrugged her shoulders in an innocent manner. Her question also made Mrs Ye Suyin curious so she averted her gaze from her friend, Li Mingyu to her other friend, Yang Chenguang.

"No, he does not have a girlfriend. Of he does I would have known and he would have told me too," Mrs Yang Chenguang answered truthfully.

Her two sons will always tell her everything. They were very opened when it came to all matters especially if they have a girlfriend. There was no need in keeping any secrets from each other as they are a family and not to forget that the three of them share a very close bond.

"Hmm. But dies he have any girl that he may have set his eyes on?" This time Mrs Ye Suyin asked the question.

"Not really. He does not have many women in his life like my younger son, Xiaochen. Xiaokai prevents women almost like a plague." Mrs Yang Chenguang said.

Three of them continued watching the young ones chat and laugh that they did not realize that Mr Li and Mr Ye were watching them spy on the youngsters sitting at a distance.

"Hey Tingzhe. What do you think those three women are planning now?" Mr Ye asked.

"If you ask me Jun, who will I ask? I am as clueless as you are," Mr Li said.

The two if them were just coming from the field to rest when they saw three familiar figures hiding behind a huge tree and spy at something or someone. Without being told, they knew that it was their wives and Mrs Yang.
