Chapter 365 I'll Cover for You
Ye Hanting learned that Chu Li had met Xuan Ying in private, and he quickly connected this series of events.
He roughly guessed what Chu Li was going to do.
What he could do was to clear the last obstacle for Chu Li and let her ascend the throne smoothly.
Chu Li returned home and met Ye Hanting head-on.
She thought about what happened in the restaurant that day.
Chu Li dodged his eyes and turned back, but then felt it was too deliberate, so he gritted his teeth and walked towards Ye Hanting.
Ye Hanting slowed down his pace and stood in front of her.
"Let's talk." He spoke first.
Chu Li nodded, and the two of them came to Ye Hanting's secret room together.
The two sat down face to face, and Ye Hanting saw Chu Li wearing the clothes he wore in the restaurant that day.
He instantly thought of what happened in the restaurant, his Adam's apple rolled, and he lowered his eyes and spoke.
"I have checked Xuanying's identity. You deliberately waited for him at Liuhe Gate. Do you want to use him to get rid of Emperor Qingyuan?"
Chu Li was a little surprised. Ye Hanting guessed her purpose just because she was waiting for Xuanying at Liuhe Gate and deliberately met him.
Ye Hanting's thoughts are so meticulous that it's a little scary.
She admitted, "Xuanying is the late crown prince's second son Chu Yi, my cousin."
Ye Hanting was not particularly surprised, because he had been investigating Xuanying's identity and only recently learned that he was the son of the late crown prince.
He listened to Chu Li continue: "He approached me secretly, he must want to avenge his parents. I am the daughter of his enemy. Maybe I saved his master Ji Changqing, so he didn't attack me and the child."
Xuanying knew where she and her child lived, and did not make things difficult for them, nor did she take the initiative to expose her daughter's identity.
For her, it's already very good.
If the person he wanted to kill was only Emperor Qingyuan, she wouldn't mind helping him.
"You were the one who gave the elixir that the Second Prince gave to Emperor Qingyuan, right?"
Chu Li smiled faintly, "Xuanying used me, and I used him to deal with Emperor Qingyuan and the Second Prince. It can be considered a courtesy."
Ye Hanting sorted out everything so that he would know where to start to help Chu Li solve the problem.
Hearing her say this, he was very glad that Xuanying was her cousin. Even if Xuanying had any ideas, it was impossible for cousins with the same surname to be together.
The most important thing is Chu Li’s attitude towards Xuanying, which really makes him feel comfortable.
Great, one less rival in love.
"Are you really not sad at all?" Ye Hanting asked her tentatively.
Chu Li held her cheek with her right hand. "I've known since I was a kid that I might be abandoned at any time. So before I made friends with others, I had already thought about the day I would be abandoned. Once I made the worst-case scenario plan, I wasn't that sad."
Ye Hanting looked at her with heartache. Abandoned by her mother since childhood, all her sense of security came from herself.
This was probably why she was unwilling to accept him so quickly.
Chu Li lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look into Ye Hanting's eyes.
Ever since she realized that she liked Ye Hanting, her heartbeat would unconsciously speed up whenever she looked into his eyes.
Suddenly, Ye Hanting's hand covered hers, and she raised her eyes and met his handsome eyebrows.
Ye Hanting spoke slowly, "Just go ahead and do it. I'll cover for you."
Chu Li smiled slightly, lowered her eyes and her eyelashes trembled slightly, and it seemed as if a piece of sugar was melting in her heart.
"I'll go accompany the children." Chu Li pulled his hand away.
She left the secret room, and Ye Hanting followed her, keeping a distance from her.
When I got into the house, two little kids who were playing with bamboo horses looked over at the same time.
"Mom, big brother, can you sleep with me and my brother tonight?" Xiao Yueyue's face was full of anticipation.
Xiao Ming also nodded, "My sister and I have never met mom and dad..."
Xiao Ming stopped talking abruptly, and his mother told him not to call Ye Hanting daddy.
Chu Li felt unhappy. She and Ye Hanting didn't even get married before falling in love.
At most, it was a mistake to have two children.
Do the kids want a daddy?
For a moment, she didn't know how to start.
"I respect your opinion." Ye Hanting played hard to get.
The son said what he had always wanted to say, that he had never slept in the same bed with the children and Chu Li.
What is it like to sleep together as a family?
"Mom, please." Xiao Yueyue pulled Chu Li's sleeve.
Ye Hanting's eyes were full of anticipation and nervousness. Will Chu Li agree?
Unexpectedly, Chu Li pulled Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Ming into the house.
Ye Hanting's expectant heart sank to the bottom, and he stood there with a lost look in his eyes.
Even Chi Yan couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
It was all his fault for interrupting the master and mistress's good time today, otherwise the little master might have been pregnant.
Suddenly, Chu Li turned around and looked at Ye Hanting, "Aren't you going to come in?"
"Come in." Ye Hanting agreed hurriedly. With a smile on his lips, he walked into the house.
Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Ming jumped up happily instantly.
"Sleeping with Daddy and Mommy!"
Chu Li and Ye Hanting sat on the bed, each wearing single clothes, while Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Ming slept between them.
Ye Hanting sat beside the bed and only lay down after watching Chu Li and the children fall asleep.
He was in a particularly good mood. Today he and Chu Li were one step closer, and she had slowly begun to accept him.
After both of them fell asleep, Xiao Ming and Xiao Yueyue quietly got up from the bed and ran to the other end of the bed.
The two little kids giggled, hey, let mommy and daddy sleep together.
The next morning, Chu Li woke up in Ye Hanting's arms.
She subconsciously thought that she was crushing the child, and when she looked up, she saw Ye Hanting slowly opening his eyes and looking at her.
Only then did Chu Li realize that one of her legs was still pressing on Ye Hanting's body.
She immediately pulled back one leg, her ears reddened, "Where's the child?"
"Mom, we are here!" Two little heads popped out from the other end of the bed.
Ye Hanting looked at the two of them, and suddenly heard Xiao Yueyue calling him, "Daddy!"
Ye Hanting happily agreed and hugged Xiao Yueyue over.
He finally heard his daughter calling him daddy.
Xiao Yueyue looked at Chu Li who was in shock.
"Mother, Big Brother Chiyan said that a man and a woman who sleep together are husband and wife. Mother and father slept together last night and hugged each other shyly. Of course, it was father."
Chu Li covered his face. Chi Yan had already started attacking the children.
Ye Hanting's smile deepened. His daughter called him daddy, and Chi Yan had done a great job.
Seeing that his mother didn't say anything, Xiao Ming respectfully called out to Ye Hanting, "Daddy."
"Be good." Ye Hanting touched Xiao Ming's head. He was not qualified to be a father yet.
If he is given some more time, he will definitely give Chu Li and the children a complete home.
The corners of Chu Li's lips curled up slightly. Since the children like to call Ye Hanting daddy, then let him do that.
Anyway, he is my biological father.
The family finished their lively breakfast, and Ye Hanting walked out of the yard feeling refreshed.
Chi Yan saw a smile on his master’s lips. Oh, it seems that the master succeeded in climbing into bed last night!
It was not in vain that he had been chatting with the two little masters every day.
When Ye Hanting walked to Chi Yan's side, he suddenly stopped and said, "You, go to the housekeeper."
