My brother entrusted his child to me, and I livestreamed raising the baby, making the Empress cry wi

Lin Ye's fingers suddenly gripped the armrest of the chair tightly.

One by one, the veins slowly converged, bulging on the back of the hand, and the neatly trimmed nails dug into the wood, gripping it tightly like an eagle's claws seizing its prey.

My fingertips turned white from the force, and even my knuckles were cracking.

He suddenly remembered that in Ye Fan's memories—

That scumbag's daughter.

Her birthday is the same day as Xiaodouzi's!

No wonder.

No wonder he seemed to hear the sound of string and wind instruments when he went there.

The sound was faint and distant, carried only by the wind through the heavy palace walls.

The distant palaces—brightly lit even late at night—illuminated half the sky, appearing from afar like an inextinguishable fire.

He didn't pay much attention at the time, he was only focused on dealing with that damned old woman, and quickly took Xiaodouzi away.

Looking back now, it seems like they were celebrating that child's birthday!

Same mother.

They share the same birthday.

One is celebrating in a grand and enthusiastic manner.

One was thrown into the cold palace, where he was starving and cold, and was beaten and humiliated by eunuchs and maids.

Lin Ye closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Have the opportunity!

He will definitely make those two scumbags pay the price!

But right now, the most important thing is still Xiaodouzi.

Lin Ye gradually calmed down.

"I won't change it."

Lin Ye spoke softly in his mind.

"Just write about yesterday."

[Confirmed. Household registration information entry completed. All relevant information online has been synchronized, and the household registration booklet will be delivered within three Earth days.]

Lin Ye nodded, his gaze returning to Xiao Douzi's face.

The little girl was sleeping soundly.

The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he were having a sweet dream.

Lin Ye stared at her face for a long time.

I sat for so long that my body started to stiffen. The alarm clock on the bedside table jumped one notch, and when it reached eleven, it stopped.

"Little Pocket".

His voice was very low. So low it sounded like he was talking to himself.

"Yesterday was your birthday, but your godfather was late and missed it."

"But it's okay."

"When you wake up, your godfather will make you one."

He extended his right hand.

The index finger extends out and stops in mid-air—

Then, I gently touched the tip of Xiaodouzi's nose.

The movements were as light as a dragonfly skimming the water, as if afraid of breaking something.

"To make up for it, the best birthday ever."

Lin Ye's lips curled up into a smile.

"No, it's not just one more! From now on, your godfather will celebrate every single birthday for you..."

He paused, raised his eyes, and looked at Xiaodouzi with a resolute gaze, as if making a vow—

"What your godfather arranged for you is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than what they do."

Little Douzi, of course, couldn't hear.

She was sleeping soundly.

But the corners of her mouth curled up a bit more.

It seemed to be responding to something.

The room became quiet again.

The only sounds were the little boy's even breathing and the soft rustling of the curtains as they were blown by the wind.

Lin Ye took out his phone and turned it on.

He opened the chat window with Zhou Ran.

I tapped the screen a few times, very quickly.

Aunt Zhou, I want to throw a birthday party for Xiao Douzi.

He paused after typing that sentence.

My thumb hovered above the screen for two seconds.

Then continue.

Go to the villa in Fengshui Garden and have some people prepare it. Qing-jie can handle things here for now.

He glanced at the time and then added two more sentences.

【Tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll have a designer come and design a dress for Xiaodouzi, and then I'll take her out shopping to buy some things she likes.】

【It's the day after tomorrow. Make sure everyone is well-prepared. Money is no object; buy the best of everything! I want to give Xiaodouzi one—】

[The grandest! The most unforgettable birthday ever!]

The message has been sent.

The other party replied almost instantly.

【receive. 】

Just two words.

Clean and concise, without any unnecessary words.

Zhou Ran had followed him for so many years, she knew what she should ask and what she shouldn't ask.

Lin Ye put his phone back in his pocket and stood up.

I took one last look at Xiaodouzi—I don’t know if it was just my imagination, but her complexion seemed less yellow, and had become whiter and rosier.

Then turned and left.

Since last night, the company has accumulated a lot of documents waiting for his approval.

He has children now, so he needs to earn more money.

He wanted to give Xiaodouzi the best life!

……

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, drawing a thin golden line on the wooden floor.

It slowly crawled forward along the grain of the floor, past the foot of the bed, onto the beige upholstered cushion beside the bed, and finally landed on the eyelids of the little girl on the bed.

Her eyelashes trembled; they were long, curled, and densely packed, casting a small fan-shaped shadow in the sunlight.

Then, she opened her eyes.

The ceiling was a pale purple, with a large, heart-shaped light in the center, which was currently off.

The little boy was stunned.

Where is this?

She instinctively tried to turn over, but suddenly found that her body was not obeying her commands.

It's not that it can't move—it's just too soft.

She felt as if she were enveloped by a cloud, sinking into a softness she had never experienced before, with everything around her crowding around her and wrapping her up tightly.

She glanced down—

A huge bed.

Xiao Douzi mentally compared the size of the bag to her own; it was big enough to fit ten of her, or even more.

The sheets were pale yellow, perfectly smooth without a single wrinkle, and felt soft and smooth to sleep on. The equally pale yellow quilt was also soft and warm under my body.

Little Douzi slowly sat up.

She was still wearing the same pink, fluffy pajamas she wore yesterday, printed with several small, round rabbits, looking adorable.

Her gaze lingered on the other side of the bed—where three large dolls were neatly arranged.

The first one is a brown bear.

It was much bigger than her, with a round belly bulging out, and two short arms outstretched as if asking for a hug. There were also pink, round pads on its palms.

He had a simple, honest smile on his face, and his eyes were two small black orbs that shone brightly in the morning light.

The second one is a white rabbit.

She has long ears and wears a light blue dress with small flowers embroidered on the hem.

The third one is a pink cat.

Little Douzi reached out and touched the bear's paw.

It's soft and furry; when you press down on the fleshy pad in your palm, it bounces back.

"What...what are all these things...?"

She muttered softly, her voice so low it seemed she was afraid of startling the dolls in front of her.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she abruptly turned her head.

There is a chair next to the bed.

but--

There was no one in the chair.

Xiao Douzi's heart skipped a beat.

"Godfather?"

She called out tentatively, her voice thin and trembling, like a taut string that would snap at the slightest touch.

No one answered.

She called out again, her voice louder, "Godfather?"

Still, no one answered.

The air was eerily quiet, as if she were the only person left in the entire world...

And what about her godfather? Such a wonderful godfather, is it all a dream? Even what she's wearing and lying on right now, is it all a dream...?

Xiao Douzi panicked a little, her nose started to sting, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She groped her way out of bed.

Just then—

The door was pushed open, and a familiar voice came from inside.
