My Ex-Wives: A Life I Long For

Yang Mi couldn't help but complain in her heart.

Then, she glanced at Su Ye and said, "You go wash up first, I'll take care of them."

Su Ye has been busy all day and hasn't had time to wash up. It's getting late now, Yang Mi said thoughtfully.

"Are you sure you can do it?" Su Ye asked doubtfully.

"Can't I do it...? You look down on me that much? It's just putting them to sleep, right? You make it sound like it's so hard. You go wash them, I promise I'll be fine here!"

Yang Mi said with a confident expression.

After all, she's survived the cutthroat entertainment industry, so Yang Mi doesn't believe she can't handle three adorable little ones!

Su Ye raised an eyebrow: "Okay, then thank you for your help."

Yang Mi watched as Su Ye took the change of clothes to the bathroom, and the three little ones all turned to look at her.

"Ahem... Alright, it's getting late, kids should go to sleep now~~" Yang Mi said as she approached the three little ones.

Xi Xi's sapphire-like eyes sparkled as she looked at Yang Mi and said crisply, "I'll wait for Daddy to come and sleep with me."

Mengmeng, holding her little feet, said leisurely, "Auntie, I want to hear a story~~"

Xuanxuan nodded her little chin: "I want to hear it too. Daddy tells us stories before he goes to sleep."

Telling a story?

So that's all the tricks you've got! Is it that hard?

As an actor, I've seen and acted in many stories.

Da Mimi immediately understood.

"Want to hear a story? Come on, lie down together, and I'll tell you a story!" Yang Mi said, opening their blankets.

Mengmeng glanced at Xixi, and Xixi then looked at Xuanxuan.

These three little ones are like that; they seem to communicate with just their eyes, and every time, they let Xuanxuan make the decisions.

Xuanxuan was quite well-behaved and was the first to climb into bed, followed by Xixi and Mengmeng.

Yang Mi looked at the three obedient little ones and couldn't help but show a smug expression.

is it hard?

Aren't the three little ones very obedient?

"Auntie, we're all settled in bed, now tell us a story!" Mengmeng urged, her little hands sticking out of the blanket.

"Okay~~" Yang Mi smiled and sat down next to Mengmeng.

Yang Mi is in a very good mood right now, after all, this is a scene she used to often fantasize about.

I tell my child stories and stay with her until she falls asleep...

She was faced with the way the three little ones were looking at her.

Yang Mi said gently, "A long, long time ago, there was a mountain, and on the mountain was a temple..."

Before Yang Mi could finish her second sentence, Xuanxuan interrupted her immediately.

She asked with a puzzled look, "Auntie, don't a group of monkeys live on the mountain?"

"A group of monkeys lived on the mountain." This was a story of the Monkey King that Su Ye had told before. Xuanxuan and the others loved reading picture books and enjoyed the fantastical stories Su Ye told them, and they had exceptionally good memories!

Yang Mi was taken aback, her face full of doubt: "A group of monkeys live on the mountain??"

Mengmeng immediately explained to Yang Mi, "That's a story Daddy told!"

Yang Mi immediately understood: "The story Dad told is not the same as the one Auntie told. Now you should listen to the one Auntie tells."

The three little ones nodded in unison, their eyes signaling, "Auntie, please continue."

“There’s a temple on the mountain, and there’s a little monk in the temple. He lives here all by himself…” Yang Mi was interrupted halfway through her sentence.

"Auntie, why is there only one little monk?" Mengmeng asked, blinking her big eyes in confusion.

“Yes, yes, where’s his father?” Xuanxuan added.

Yang Mi patiently replied, "The little monk is here to cultivate; his father is at home."

"The little monk is so pitiful. Isn't he afraid to live alone?" Mengmeng continued to ask.

Yang Mi: "..."

She took a deep breath and said, "The little monk isn't afraid; he's very brave!"

After Yang Mi finished her forced explanation, she continued, "The little monk would go down the mountain to fetch water every day, but one day..."

Xuanxuan expressed doubt about the "little monk carrying water" story, asking, "Auntie, can a little monk really carry water?"

Mengmeng nodded seriously and asked, "And why does the little monk have to go down the mountain to fetch water? Isn't there a waterfall on the mountain called Flower Fruit Mountain?"

Flower and Fruit Mountain... What the hell is Flower and Fruit Mountain?!

Yang Mi: "..."

She didn't know the famous Journey to the West! The Monkey King!

It's not that Yang Mi is ignorant; it's just that these two novels don't exist in this world!

Yang Mi thought to herself with a frustrated expression, "Aren't these two little ones targeting me?"

Or were they originally two sets of "100,000 Whys"?

Yang Mi was completely overwhelmed by the questions!

At this moment, Yang Mi couldn't help but look at Xi Xi. The aloof Xi Xi was much better!

"That little monk is so stupid! Couldn't he have asked the Monkey King to conjure up a well for him?!" Xi Xi said with a smug look on her face.

Yang Mi: "..."

What is this... Yang Mi was both amused and exasperated; this story was impossible to tell.

Just because the beginnings were almost identical, the three little ones took it as the same story...

Who knows what kind of 'strange story' Su Ye told them?

A group of monkeys on the mountain? The Flower and Fruit Mountain Waterfall? And the Monkey King turning into a well?

Yang Mi racked her brains, and even searched on Baidu, but couldn't find any similar stories!

Did Su Ye write this herself?

"Auntie, your story isn't funny at all..." Mengmeng said, getting out of bed with dissatisfaction.

"Let's wait for Daddy to come out and tell us!" Xixi didn't get out of bed, but she still sat up, wrapped in her blanket.

Xuanxuan was the only one who didn't move from under the covers, but when she saw Yang Mi's helpless expression, she shrugged her cute little shoulders, indicating that 'this girl can't help you either'.

Yang Mi was a little unwilling to 'defeat' like this, so she searched for fairy tales online and picked one that had received rave reviews, hoping to salvage her 'lofty' image.

But, unsurprisingly, she was still left bewildered by the three little ones' endless stream of "why" questions...

When Su Ye came out after washing up, she saw the three little ones, each wrapped in a blanket, acting out something.

With her chin tilted back, Mengmeng said proudly, "From today onwards, I am your queen!"

Xi Xi tried hard to recall what Su Ye had said and said, "I heard that the kings of the other mountains all have a title. What is your title, Your Majesty?"

Xuanxuan immediately chimed in, "Your Majesty, why don't you call yourself 'The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the Handsome Monkey King'!"

These three little guys are putting on a show of "The Monkey King"!

Meanwhile, Yang Mi stood aside, looking on with a face of 'despair' at the three little ones on the bed who had staged their own drama...

Chapter 46 Lotus Emerging from Water

Su Ye couldn't help but smile at the scene.

Hearing footsteps, Yang Mi turned around and saw Su Ye suppressing a laugh, and couldn't help but give him a resentful look.

If Su Ye hadn't told them about Flower Fruit Mountain and the Monkey King, they wouldn't have been asked such terrible questions.

Su Ye naturally sensed Yang Mi's resentful gaze.

He suppressed his smile and looked at the three little ones, saying, "Alright, you three little rascals, stop fooling around and lie down properly."

When the three little ones saw Su Ye come out, they immediately scattered and obediently went back to their beds.

Seeing this, Yang Mi turned to look at Mengmeng, who was still winking at her from under the covers, and couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "What a bully, a coward..."

Yang Mi rolled her eyes at Mengmeng.

She had tried so hard to persuade the three little ones to stop making a fuss, but Su Ye's words made them obediently lie back down.

This disparity left Yang Mi feeling quite frustrated. She secretly resolved to spend more time with Mengmeng in the future, hoping it would make things a little better!

"Let me take over from now on. Why don't you wash up and get some rest?" Su Ye meant that that was about it for today.

Yang Mi looked at Mengmeng with a hint of reluctance.

Meeting Yang Mi's gaze, Mengmeng said sweetly, "Goodnight, Auntie~~"

Yang Mi walked out of the room, looking back every few steps.

Su Ye stared blankly at Yang Mi's departing figure, lost in thought, pondering something important...

But less than three minutes later!

There was a knock on Su Ye's door!

"Su Ye." Yang Mi's voice came through.

Su Ye opened the door with a puzzled look in his eyes and saw Yang Mi holding a small bag, which seemed to contain some underwear or other clothes for changing.

"what happened?"

"The hot tub over there is in use, can I shower here..." Yang Mi's voice almost disappeared as she spoke.

"Didn't Reba come up here a long time ago?" Su Ye looked at Yang Mi with suspicion.

"I...you're a grown man, what are you afraid of me doing to you? Besides, I don't even know who treated her back then..." Yang Mi blushed and pushed Su Ye aside, walking into the inner room. There she saw the three little ones supporting themselves with their little hands, all looking at her.
