"What?" Lin Ruyu stared blankly at Ye Hao and asked...

"Don't 'what' me, just think of it as adopting a kid. We're just sitting around anyway, might as well find ourselves something to do," Ye Hao said with a grin.

"Hmph! So we won't have our own in the future?" Lin Ruyu blurted out something embarrassing in her haste.

Ye Hao was taken aback by her words and then looked at Lin Ruyu with a mischievous glance and said with a smile, "Are you planning to give me a child in the next three to five years?"

Lin Ruyu was mortified by Ye Hao's words, blaming herself for speaking without thinking, and now Ye Hao was teasing her.

"Get lost, who wants to have your child." Lin Ruyu huffed and lightly punched Ye Hao's chest.

"Haha! Just say the word. I'll go tell your dad that I'm borrowing you this year, and return two, maybe even three next year." Ye Hao laughed heartily.

"If you keep talking, I'm going to ignore you." Lin Ruyu's face turned red all the way to her neck.

"Haha! Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. Let's raise that kid! We're just idle anyway, what do you say?" Ye Hao turned to the serious matter.

"What about the child's custody..."

"Haha! I'll handle it. I'll be the godfather, you'll be the godmother, haha." Ye Hao laughed loudly and left, leaving Lin Ruyu alone sweetly thinking: Maybe one day, I'd have this man's child...

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Ruyu blamed herself before going into the room to sleep with Bai Linglong.

The night passed quickly, and the next day Lin Tian received an invitation from the Ye Family, and the Shangguan Clan also received an invitation. Additionally, some invitations went to the core members of the Ye Family, or rather, the various generals of the Ye Family.

Lin Tian got up early and called Ye Hao, then asked him to go into his daughter's room. He wasn't shy about letting Ye Hao woo his daughter and even hoped they would progress faster.

Busy until around nine o'clock, Lin Ruyu was dressed beautifully, with a cute and dainty little girl by her side. Ye Hao and the three of them standing together looked just like a family of three.

That little girl was called granddaughter by Yan Shuiyue at first sight, and Bai Linglong sweetly called her grandma too...

A blissful Yan Shuiyue was about to faint from happiness.

"Haha! Alright, let's talk more at the Ye Family's place," Lin Tian said with a smile.

So they sat in a stretch Lincoln, and Bai Linglong, lively and adorable, looked at Lin Tian and said, "Grandpa, it's so beautiful outside!"

"Haha! Yes, it's very beautiful outside! In the future, you'll live in the city with your daddy Ye Hao, okay?" Lin Tian was rather scholarly, so the little girl liked him a lot.

"I don't want to; I want to be with mommy." Bai Linglong then squeezed into Lin Ruyu's lap and hugged her.

"Haha! Okay, okay, all together as a family." Lin Tian laughed.

Ye Hao was frustrated, wondering why the little girl didn't like him. Could he really be that unlikable?

Around eleven o'clock, Lin Tian's family arrived at the Ye Family's quadrangle.

Since it was New Year's Eve, all the generals of the Ye Family came to visit the Ye Family. The elder only mingled with the elders of his group, while newcomers were typically greeted by Ye Tian.

At this point, Ye Long walked into the backyard and looked at the elder, saying with a smile, "Mr. Ye, Hao is here."

"You rascal, what do you mean 'here'? It's your Hao who's come back, come on, let's go see the grandsons," Ye Batian scolded playfully with a smile.

Other elders also followed Ye Batian out. Although Ye Batian was younger, in their hearts, the elder was always their leader, so the elder's grandson was like their own grandson.

When Ye Batian reached the hall, those middle-aged people all stood up and respectfully greeted the elder.

The elder just waved his hand, signaling them to talk with Ye Tian and Ye Nian Country, while he went straight to the entrance.

Seeing Lin Tian and Ye Hao standing together, Ye Batian laughed heartily and said, "Grandson is home; Tian, come out and greet Lin Tian, that kid."

The elder's voice was exceptionally loud, proving how healthy he was.

Lin Tian couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at Ye Batian. After a long pause, he managed to utter:

"Elder Ye."

"What 'elder'? From now on, call me Ye, haha!" Ye Batian joked.

Then Ye Tian led Lin Tian's family into the hall.

When everyone was seated in the hall, Shangguan Dapao and his family also arrived at the Ye Family.

Today's Ye Family was truly bustling with distinguished guests!

Pleasantries were exchanged frequently, and Ye Hao familiarized himself with those middle-aged folks and the older generation.

"Uncle Xiaopao, we'll rely on you to look after us in the future!" Ye Hao said with a smile to Shangguan Xiaopao.

"Haha! You little guy, no need to be so formal in the future. We're all family; no need for any of that 'looking after' talk." Shangguan Xiaopao knew his mother's intentions, so he was quite cordial to Ye Hao. If word got out that Second Artillery Commander was so courteous to Ye Hao, who knows what kind of sensation it might cause?

"Yes, Hao, we're all family. Let's keep it easy-going," Ye Tian chimed in with a laugh.

"Haha! That's right! In the elder brother's home, you Ye Hao are rooted as well. So why wouldn't you be rooted in my Dapao family, huh?" Shangguan Dapao laughed heartily.

"Haha, then I won't stand on ceremony, Grandpa Dapao," Ye Hao also laughed loudly.

Murong Lan smiled and nodded.

Ye Hao also called out to Grandma Murong, making Murong Lan beam with joy. Of course! It wasn't because Ye Hao calling her grandma made her excited but rather the fact that before long, Ye Hao would make her feel younger again.

"Good, good, you're a fine young man," Murong Lan praised Ye Hao with a smile.

Next followed a cheerful banquet that unfolded with much excitement, though by the end of the feast, most people were curious to learn how Ye Batian became young again.

But Ye Batian kept tight-lipped, leaving them unable to extract any useful information.

Meanwhile, over at the highest government institutions in Manila, Philippines.

All the Philippine government heads and leaders gathered, each with smiles on their faces.

Those smiles came courtesy of their godfather, the United States.

Philippine President Nuonuo Jiya walked up to the red-carpeted platform and beamed at the government heads below, saying, "Welcome, gentlemen and ladies, to the fifteenth secret conference of the Philippines."

"Clap clap clap!"

The sound of applause echoed.

"Today, I want to share some good news with you. Did you know? All these years, our Philippines has suffered oppression from that Huaxia nation, almost having us all armed for war. Do you wish to change this situation? Very much, I'm sure? Now the opportunity has come, brought to us by our powerful ally, the United States, and President Abama of the United States. The ally has done so much for us, how should we repay him?" Philippine President Nuonuo Jiya asked directly without any politeness.

A Philippine cabinet leader turned on the microphone in front of him and said with a smile, "Our General Kuno must be itching for some action, right?"

Another burly-looking old man in the audience had eyes that flashed with sharpness...(To be continued. If you liked this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
