The Long Aotian Cub Becomes the Pampered Darling of a Wealthy Family 88

Chapter 88

Orange-red clouds scattered across the clear winter sky. The sky’s base color was a transparent azure, gradually transitioning to a deep black at the edges.

Tiantian had slept for a long time in the afternoon. He rubbed his eyes and came down from upstairs in his fluffy pajamas.

His pajamas were a dreamy light purple, with two semi-circular ears on the large hood, which swayed with Shen Tiantian’s movements as he went downstairs.

Tiantian pattered to the living room, came to the empty balcony, found a spot with a good signal, and called Qin Ye.

The beeping sound lasted for a full minute and was finally automatically hung up.

Tiantian had already called twice from upstairs and thought it was a bad signal, so he couldn’t get through.

It seemed that Qin Ye’s side was not answering.

Tiantian frowned, stood there and spun around, and thought seriously with his little mouth pressed together.

Could something have happened to Yezi?

Just as Shen Tiantian was worrying, Ye Jiabao’s call came in.

Tiantian’s eyes lit up, and he called out cheerfully:

“Yezi! You answered the phone!”

Who is Yezi? Ye Jiabao thought.

He then recalled the nickname Shen Tiantian had given to Qin Ye and couldn’t help but be speechless.

“I’m your cousin, not some Qin Ye.”

Shen Tiantian’s cheerful and lively tone immediately subsided. He let out a listless “oh,” and his tone also became slow.

“What’s up, cousin?”

Ye Jiabao wanted to ask Shen Tiantian for Lu Wei’s phone number.

He had recently wanted to sign with an agency and officially enter the industry of child actors.

With the popularity brought by the currently airing TV series, Ye Jiabao thought that if he signed with a company, wouldn’t he just take off?

He knew that Lu Wei’s company was an old-brand entertainment company, so he wanted to ask Lu Wei to help him with an introduction.

But hearing Shen Tiantian mention Qin Ye, Ye Jiabao’s eyes darted, and he couldn’t help but say:

“Qin Ye didn’t answer your call? Shen Tiantian, it’s not that I’m saying this, but could it be that Qin Ye dislikes you?”

When they lived together before, Ye Jiabao had often PUA’d Shen Tiantian.

But Shen Tiantian was a very firm and confident person. He wouldn’t listen to the bad things and would listen to the good things.

In Ye Jiabao’s opinion, he was just a stubborn little fat ball.

Especially when the little fat ball was arguing with you with his little neck craned, his milky voice was also reasonable, which could make people go crazy.

Hearing his cousin’s words, Shen Tiantian’s little fleshy face puffed up, and he said angrily:

“Yezi doesn’t dislike me. He said before that he likes to play with me the most.”

With the male lead’s paranoid and petty personality, it’s already good enough that he doesn’t hold a grudge against you for being his little follower. He likes to play with you? Ye Jiabao thought.

Maybe he’s already secretly held a grudge in his heart!

Just waiting to get his revenge when he grows up.

Ye Jiabao let out a disdainful scoff, hung up the phone, and waited to see Shen Tiantian’s good show.

He even put aside the important matter of getting Lu Wei’s phone number. The next morning, he rushed to the Shen family.

The early morning light scattered from the glass window, like countless sequins falling across the room.

The light came through the window and hit Shen Tiantian’s side face, as if it were a special filter for him.

Ye Jiabao found Shen Tiantian, who was still slowly eating breakfast, and couldn’t help but pout.

No wonder Shen Tiantian was a pretty-faced beauty for so many years in his previous life. Although his acting was not bad, his strong features made countless passersby only think of his face when they mentioned him.

Ye Jiabao looked at Shen Tiantian, who had had a smooth life in every lifetime, and couldn’t help but feel a hint of hatred in his heart. A resentful aura welled up, and his facial expression twisted for a moment.

Tiantian, who was in the middle of stuffing steamed egg custard into his mouth, saw his cousin’s ugly and strange expression, and his little brows furrowed.

Cousin is here again.

Is a little monster controlling cousin’s body now?

He couldn’t figure out why the sense of incongruity on Ye Jiabao was so strong. Tiantian simply stopped thinking about it and finished the steamed egg custard with his spoon.

His tongue nimbly licked the remaining egg custard from the corner of his mouth. Tiantian jumped down from his chair and said blissfully:

“You’re too late, cousin. I’ve already eaten all the breakfast.”

Ye Jiabao didn’t care about this breakfast at all. He looked at Shen Tiantian, who was about to go out and play with his little hands behind his back, and couldn’t help but say:

“Tiantian, you still haven’t gotten through to Qin Ye?”

Tiantian thought of this, nodded, and couldn’t help but sigh.

“I don’t know what happened to Qin Yezi.”

The only way for the two children to maintain contact was by phone.

Once one of them didn’t answer the phone, it was equivalent to cutting off contact.

This time, the corners of Ye Jiabao’s mouth couldn’t help but lift.

Seeing that the little male lead’s relationship with Shen Tiantian had finally broken down, the long-standing frustration in Ye Jiabao’s heart dissipated a lot.

Ye Jiabao followed Shen Tiantian. Seeing Shen Tiantian balancing a ball on his head and spinning around like a little seal, he felt a hint of exasperation.

“You’re still playing!”

Tiantian’s ball fell from his head. He spread his small hands and said, puzzled:

“Why can’t I play? I don’t have class today.”

Tiantian had just returned from a business trip with his brother. Today was a day off, so he didn’t have to practice the piano or do his boring homework.

He wanted to play well, to play a lot!

Tiantian balanced the ball on his head again. Just as he was flailing and balancing it a few times, he heard Ye Jiabao say:

“Tiantian, you haven’t signed with an agency yet, have you?”

Shen Tiantian hummed, balanced the ball to the side, and a hint of confusion appeared in his black grape-like eyes.

“An agency? What’s that?”

Ye Jiabao cleared his throat, briefly introduced it to him, but a hint of a sharp glint was in his eyes.

“You’ve been on so many variety shows now. You can sign with Hejia Entertainment. This company has a lot of variety show resources.”

What Ye Jiabao didn’t reveal was that in his previous life, Hejia Entertainment had gone bankrupt a few years later due to a series of problems such as exploiting celebrities, tax evasion, and pimping for its artists.

Many of the artists in it had become tainted artists, and almost no other directors or variety shows dared to use them.

Ye Jiabao hadn’t even entered the entertainment industry yet, but he already saw Shen Tiantian as a strong competitor in the future and wanted to cut off his star path early.

Shen Tiantian dazedly scratched his little face and said “oh.”

“Hejia Entertainment? Did you sign too, cousin?”

To fool Shen Tiantian, Ye Jiabao cleared his throat and nodded.

“Of course. This entertainment company is one of the top companies in the country. It’s not a loss to sign with them at all.”

Shen Tiantian nodded, his round eyes curved, and a hint of light appeared.

“Alright then. If you signed, then I won’t.”

Ye Jiabao cursed in his heart. What does Shen Tiantian mean?

“What do you mean? What do you mean if I sign, you won’t?”

Shen Tiantian giggled, the corners of his eyes lifted, and he smiled like a red and beautiful little peach blossom.

“You’re so silly, cousin, and your taste is so bad. The company you sign with will definitely go bankrupt soon!”

Tiantian is not some little fool!

He’s not going to go bankrupt with his cousin!

Ye Jiabao felt a wave of anger rush to his head.

He really wanted to explode on the spot and directly blow Shen Tiantian away!

“You little brat.”

Ye Jiabao cursed. Seeing that Shen Tiantian was not falling for it, he simply changed his direction and asked him for Lu Wei’s phone number.

Shen Tiantian said “oh,” his eyes darted around, and he told his cousin to wait a moment.

He ran all the way behind a pillar, thinking he was very hidden, and took out his little genius watch to call Lu Wei.

“Hello, hello? Big brother Lu Wei, can I give your phone number to another little friend?”

Lu Wei had been up all night recording a variety show and was so sleepy his head was throbbing with pain. Hearing Shen Tiantian’s cute and spoiled little milky voice, he didn’t think much about it.

“Sure, give it to him.”

Shen Tiantian hung up the phone and ran out from behind the pillar again, coming to Ye Jiabao.

He held out his small hand, looked up with his little face, and said:

“Five hundred yuan.”

Ye Jiabao: “???”

“You’re asking me for five hundred yuan for a phone number?!”

Shen Tiantian hummed twice, shook his head, and the spiky hair on his head swayed along, with a hint of a little tyrant’s air.

“That’s right. For the sake of you being my cousin, I would only sell it to other little friends for a thousand yuan.”

Who are you PUA-ing? Ye Jiabao thought.

“What other stupid little friends would buy your phone number?”

Shen Tiantian pointed to Ye Jiabao and blinked his eyes.

“Aren’t you one?”

Ye Jiabao: “…”

Being called a stupid fool, Ye Jiabao closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, letting out a heavy breath.

He was about to play the family card when he heard Shen Tiantian say:

“Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. I’m not some soft-hearted child. My heart is as cold as ice cream!”

Ye Jiabao looked at Shen Tiantian, who had a cold heart, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He was completely numb.

How did he not discover in his previous life that this little brat, Shen Tiantian, could be so annoying?

Fortunately, his popularity had increased during this period, and Ye Jiabao had really earned a sum of money, so he was not short of this five hundred or a thousand.

“Alright, one hand pays, one hand delivers,” he said through gritted teeth.

Shen Tiantian got the five red bills and, like the butler uncle, spat a little saliva on his hand.

After counting the five bills several times, Tiantian finally nodded.

“The number is right.”

Even the tone of his voice was imitating the butler uncle.

Ye Jiabao finally got the number he wanted. He held it in and finally couldn’t help but say:

“You little miser. Just wait for Qin Ye to get his revenge on you!”

The male lead’s methods are much more ruthless than his!

Shen Tiantian’s sharp ears heard his cousin’s words, and his little brows couldn’t help but furrow.

Just as he was about to say something, a car stopped at the entrance of the villa.

A familiar little figure jumped out of the car, tall and straight, like a thriving little green onion tree.

Qin Ye had a single-shoulder bag on his shoulder. His usually steady steps were now incredibly happy as he ran into the Shen family’s yard.

“Tiantian!” His tone was filled with a hint of excitement.

Shen Tiantian and Ye Jiabao turned their heads at the same time and saw the figure running towards them, both of their eyes filled with surprise.

“Qin Ye?” The two of them said in surprise at the same time.

Qin Ye ran over, directly ignored Ye Jiabao, who was in front of him, held out his small hands, and hugged Tiantian.

“Tiantian, did you miss me?”

Tiantian’s neck was held tightly, and he coughed twice, a little breathless.

The excited Qin Ye quickly let go of Tiantian, but his happiness did not diminish. His lead-gray pupils sparkled with an incomparable brilliance as he circled around Tiantian.

If he had a tail, it would probably be wagging very happily now.

Ye Jiabao, on the side, was so shocked that he was the first to ask:

“Didn’t you find your family and go abroad?”

Why did you suddenly come back?

Tiantian also nodded and asked, “That’s right, that’s right. Why are you back, Yezi?”

Qin Ye took a deep breath, suppressed his excited feelings, but his mouth still couldn’t help but lift high.

“I made a promise with my mom. If I finish my lessons early, I can come back for the New Year.”

For this, Qin Ye had been studying crazily for more than a month and had managed to finish his lessons more than half a month early.
