The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife-Chapter 208: A Desire for More

While the dark forces held global dominance, the undercurrents were treacherous, full of hidden dangers. He was weary of living in such an environment for so long.

"Whatever you want," Xu Nuo said. She wasn’t at all attached to her power.

Marrying him was the most successful and proudest thing she had ever done in her life; everything else was just helping him.

"Shitou, do you really want to hand this position over to our own family?" Xu Nuo asked, leaning against the counter and raising an eyebrow at him. "You have both the underworld and the legitimate world firmly under control now, basically with no fluctuations. Tianyu is still young. You’ve built such a vast empire for him to inherit, there’s no challenge at all."

Ye Ningyuan chuckled. He had considered this question before. But as for the anti-terrorism side, their power definitely couldn’t be withdrawn. The international anti-terrorism forces were not to be underestimated. Xu Nuo had deliberately, within his allowed scope, consolidated anti-terrorism power over the years, just wanting to provide Tianyu with more challenges in the future.

The current anti-terrorism organization had a formidable force within it, all originating from terrorist organizations. Ye Ningyuan had faced enough challenges, but if someone else took over, he feared...

It would be too boring.

"What do you want?"

"Actually, besides the successor you’ve chosen, there’s someone else I like. Why don’t you let someone else take the Chief Inspector position?" Xu Nuo said.

"If you truly want to challenge Tianyu, withdrawing all forces would be the most effective."

"Are you willing to let go?"

"Of course... not willing." Ye Ningyuan laughed. "Tianyu has his father’s style..."

"Narcissist!"

"That’s right, it’s our family’s excellent tradition."

Xu Nuo laughed. Ye Ningyuan, however, became thoughtful. His own brilliance was too overwhelming; his son would indeed feel pressured and have his own ideas when taking over. Ye Ningyuan stroked his chin, thinking seriously. "Is this why Tianyu has always disliked me? Is he jealous of his old man?"

Xu Nuo burst out laughing. "You have the nerve to say that. Who’s jealous of whom?"

"He’s jealous of me, definitely," Ye Ningyuan said decisively. Xu Nuo was embarrassed. Only he could twist facts like this. Xu Nuo offered a sympathetic tear for her son, who was constantly away on duty. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"Nuonuo, let’s have another baby," Ye Ningyuan suddenly said, embracing Xu Nuo, playfully biting her earlobe, his hands caressing her flat stomach, his voice low and suggestive. "Let’s have another beautiful daughter."

"Get lost! One like Ye Kelan is enough."

"Yes, Kelan is enough. Let’s have another sweet, pitiful little princess." Ye Ningyuan began to dream. In fact, it was no problem for him and Xu Nuo to have another child.

"Hey, who was it who said back then that we should have all our children first, a boy and a girl, and then enjoy our own world together?" Xu Nuo scoffed at him. It was because of his words that they became parents at twenty-one. Xu Nuo seriously suspected that he was just using children as an excuse for his desires.

Later, after having a son, Ye Ningyuan was quite displeased, insisting on having a daughter, saying that the Ye family had too much "yang" energy and definitely needed a precious daughter. And he said that once they had a boy and a girl, they wouldn’t have any more, getting it all done early so they could relax later.

So, not long after, they had another precious daughter, which truly fulfilled his wish.

"I was young and naive then. Two is too few, really. I don’t want any more sons; they just cause fights. We want daughters. If we didn’t use contraception, I might have ten or so daughters by now," Ye Ningyuan said emotionally. With his dedication and effort, ten would definitely not be a problem.

"You’re getting more and more ridiculous," Xu Nuo said with a laugh. Ye Ningyuan deliberately nudged her from behind with his abdomen. Xu Nuo was annoyed. "Shitou, are you looking for trouble? Cook!"

"I want a daughter."

"You’re too old; you can’t have one now."

"Thirty-five is old? Some people even have children at forty-five," Ye Ningyuan laughed, coaxing Xu Nuo to have a daughter.

"Too old, and the child might have defects. No."

"Nonsense! With our IQ, as long as there’s no mutation, we’re geniuses, alright? Look at Tianyu and Kelan." Ye Ningyuan was very confident about this point.

"It’s precisely because we’re older that I’m worried about mutations."

"Nuonuo, I want a daughter."

Xu Nuo laughed. "What if it’s a boy? It’s not up to you to decide."

"Of course whether it’s a boy or a girl is up to me. Don’t violate the laws of biology."

Xu Nuo: "..."

This was like talking to a wall.

After they talked nonsense for a while, Ye Ningyuan said, "Let’s move back next year. Our whole family is abroad, and Feimo is a gloomy fellow. We’ll come back and live with Daddy and Mommy."

"Okay!"

"Retiring at thirty-five to wait for death is truly a tragedy."

"If you talk nonsense again, I’m going out to watch TV and won’t keep you company."

...

"Daddy, Mommy, why are you hugging while cooking?" Ye Kelan’s sly voice came from the living room. Ye Ningyuan turned his head and laughed. "Daddy’s teaching your Mommy how to cut carrots."

"Nonsense."

"Why aren’t you watching TV? What are you doing here?" Xu Nuo asked.

Ye Kelan said mischievously, "Daddy, Mommy, Second Uncle seems to have been heartbroken. He hasn’t said a word."

"It’s not Second Uncle’s first heartbreak. He’s like an unkillable cockroach; he’s used to breakups," Ye Ningyuan laughed. Ye Kelan loudly accused Daddy of being heartless, then ran back to the TV.

Cheng Anya saw that Ye Feimo hadn’t spoken all day and pursed her lips. "Feimo, what’s wrong with you?"

Ye Feimo shook his head. "Nothing."

"It would be strange if there was nothing wrong."

Young Master Ye Third slanted a glance at his second son. "He’s heartbroken."

Ye Feimo remained silent. Cheng Anya was puzzled. Heartbroken? It couldn’t be that serious.

A fight was more likely.

"Nothing!" Ye Feimo repeated again. Ye Kelan returned, sitting on the sofa and laughing. "Second Uncle, why don’t you invite Future Second Aunt home for dinner? Daddy’s prepared hotpot. Eating hot, steaming hotpot is the most comfortable."

"She has an engagement," Ye Feimo said expressionlessly. Ye Kelan stuck out her tongue. So, Second Uncle was just sulking about his girlfriend.

Cheng Anya chuckled. "Then what are you doing?"

"In a bad mood."

"When are you ever in a good mood?" Young Master Ye Third couldn’t help but retort. "Feimo, I think it’s necessary to deeply research how your personality was formed. You lack neither love nor calcium, so how did you grow up like this?"
