Chapter Fifty-Nine: That Child, It Was Him
Seeing him like this, she felt no joy at all; her heart was heavy, and she couldn't describe the feeling.
Although she hated him, she still hoped that he was joking with her, that he was faking it, and that he hadn't really gone mad.
The injury on my wrist was no longer a big problem. With mixed feelings, I changed my clothes, scooped up some water in my palms to wash my face, and then took a towel to dry it.
Her gaze fell on the nightgown that Yan Ye had torn to shreds on the floor. She had been wearing a dress before, and it was completely soaked. Without a doubt, it was that man who had helped her change.
After sighing, Yue Yirou picked up her nightgown and threw it into the trash can in the corner, then turned around, opened the door, and walked out.
Yan Ye wasn't in bed, and there was no sign of him in the room. Could it be that he had already returned normally?
Just as she was wondering, her stomach suddenly rumbled, and Yue Yirou realized that she was very hungry.
Touching her belly, she turned and walked towards the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Yan Ye leaning against the door, staring at her blankly.
"Sister, have you changed your clothes?"
Upon seeing her, Yan Ye jumped in front of her like a child, grabbed her hand, and shook it.
Yue Yirou's brows were furrowed into a deep frown. Had he not returned to normal yet?
Was he really driven mad by her words?
Overwhelmed with guilt, she would rather kill him than see him like this.
She could have killed him, and then committed suicide to atone for it, but he's become like this...
"Yan Ye..."
Call me Night Baby.
"..."
Yue Yirou was speechless. People call him "baby," but he doesn't even look at his own figure. How can a baby be that big?
No, I have to go find Xue Tao right away and ask him to take his young master to see a doctor.
Just as she was about to say something, Yan Ye spoke up: "Pretty sister, I've already seen your room, but you haven't seen mine yet. Let me take you up to see mine. My room is much bigger, much prettier, and much more fun than yours."
His room?
Isn't this his room?
Yue Yirou was very confused, but Yan Ye had already taken her hand and was skipping and hopping upstairs with her.
He led her up the stairs, not the elevator. When he pulled her upstairs toward that lonely door, Yue Yirou's expression changed completely.
"I want my mommy, I want my mommy, waaaaaah..."
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever heard of the phrase 'still having a childlike heart'?"
That childish crying, that cartoon outfit printed with Xiong Da, Xiong Er, and Bald Qiang...
She understood, she finally understood. He wasn't driven mad by her; he had always had some mental issues.
No wonder he looked completely bewildered when she mentioned his child before, and even asked in confusion when he had a child.
He didn't have any children yet, and there were no children behind that lonely door. The "child" was him.
Yan Ye had already led her to the lonely door. He reached out and grasped the doorknob, and with a barely audible "ding," the door opened automatically.
Yue Yirou then realized that this door was not one that anyone could open; even if Xue Tao hadn't come out that day, she wouldn't have been able to get in.
The doorknob had a fingerprint reader, a really high-tech one. She wouldn't have known if she hadn't seen him open the door like that.
The moment the door was pushed open, she finally learned the secret behind it.
This room, no, this entire floor, is a children's playground.
Trampolines, slides, carousels, all kinds of bumper cars...
There was also a sandy area piled with building blocks and other small toys.
After Yan Ye pulled her inside, he let go of her hand and ran straight to the trampoline, jumping around excitedly.
"Sister, come in and play! There are lots of fun things here."
He jumped on the trampoline for a while, then sat in a Bald Qiang bumper car and started driving it, crashing around the room.
He's behaving like a little kid now, having a lot of fun.
No wonder he would yell at her from time to time; no wonder his tone sometimes sounded so aggrieved; no wonder he would wear cartoon clothes with images of Xiong Da and Xiong Er printed on them.
It turns out that he really had lost his childlike innocence.
How did that happen?
Isn't he the president of the Starry Night Group, who possesses an exceptionally high IQ?
He also became Asia's richest man this year.
How could someone have such a foolish side?
When Xue Tao learned from the alarm on his wristband that there was a commotion in the fourth-floor room, he immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed into the elevator.
When the young master is normal, he usually doesn't go into that room, and even if he does, he wouldn't touch anything inside. There's only one possibility for such a commotion: the young master is acting strangely again.
When Xue Tao came up, Yan Ye had already gotten off the bumper car and was lying on the floor playing with mud. He would occasionally raise his head, blink his innocent eyes, and grin foolishly at Yue Yirou, who was staring blankly like a puppet. He then invited her to come and lie down with him to play with mud.
Seeing Yue Yirou standing at the door, Xue Tao wasn't too surprised. In fact, from the moment she stepped into Xingye Pavilion to help Lu Tingyun find the jade pendant, he had thought that this day would come, and the young master's secret would no longer be a secret in front of her.
After sighing, he stepped inside, closed the door behind him, and stood quietly beside Yue Yirou, watching his young master happily playing in the mud on the floor.
"Butler Xue, has Yan Ye... always retained this childlike side?" Yue Yirou suddenly asked softly, her gaze still fixed on Yan Ye.
She didn't want to call him stupid. After learning about this side of him, she stopped believing any rumors about him and no longer thought that a man like him wouldn't be hurt by her words.
She hated him as much as she wanted to, but she would never again say hurtful things like "I wish you could be torn to pieces" to him.
Although she wasn't the cause of his behavior, his sudden outburst must have been because her words had provoked him, perhaps truly hurting his feelings.
"Miss Yue's words are so tactful. It's a pity that the young master is not only childlike, but also a bit..." Xue Tao stopped in his tracks. He suddenly realized that he couldn't find the right word either.
The person in front of him, happily playing in the mud, was none other than the young master he had watched grow up!
His young master possesses extraordinary intelligence and has been the pride of his parents since childhood. At a young age, he has built a vast business empire on his own and created countless business miracles.
How could he bear to call such a renowned business tycoon a fool?
"Childlike innocence" sounds much better than "foolishness".
I have a son who is incredibly childlike.
My son is very childlike.
The young master is acting like a child again.
Xue Tao decided that from now on, he would use this word instead of "foolish".
"Young Master is so childlike because of an accident two years ago," Xue Tao continued, a hint of undisguised pain and guilt in his eyes.
