Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband-Chapter 237 - : Safe Password

Chapter 237 -237: Safe Password

Ji Yuqiao had played alone on the golf course for a while, tactfully not disturbing Lin Xu and Xie Changyan’s time together.

It wasn’t until nearly dusk that Ji Yuqiao and Lin Xu got into Xie Changyan’s car to head home.

Perhaps as a result of his two car accidents, Xie Changyan drove much more steadily, so smoothly that Ji Yuqiao fell asleep in the backseat without even realizing it.

When she hazily awoke, the car had already stopped inside the villa.

“Lanyue must be tired; please take her inside to rest,” Xie Changyan said to Lin Xu. “After you go in, I’ll leave.”

Ji Yuqiao rubbed her sleepy eyes, “Father, where else do you have to go?”

...

“Of course, I’m going home as well,” Xie Changyan said.

“But this is your home too; why not just move back in and live with us?” she grumbled discontentedly, as if he were about to abandon them.

“When you can convince your two brothers, I’ll be able to move back in,” Xie Changyan said with a smile in his eyes.

Ji Yuqiao pouted, knowing it wouldn’t be an easy task. “I’ll definitely convince big brother and second brother later; don’t be in such a rush to leave, Father.”

Ji Yuqiao leaned her body over to the driver’s seat, playfully shaking Xie Changyan’s arm.

Unable to refuse his daughter’s warm invitation, Xie Changyan agreed to come in and sit for a while.

“Father, look, this is the photo from when I came first in the primary school exams, and the teacher even awarded me 100 yuan,” she said. “I used the money to buy a T-shirt for each of my brothers, and they were so touched.”

“This is the photo of when I came first in the middle school final exams… and this one…”

“Big brother and second brother always say I’m especially smart, inheriting the intelligence of both our father and mother.”

Ji Yuqiao took out the photo album that they hadn’t finished looking at last time, flipping to her photos and showing them with a hint of pride in her expression.

Her academic performance had always been among the top, up until she met Xiao Yu in college, which led her to neglect her studies.

But it was precisely because of her solid academic foundation that she managed to win a place and certificate in a math competition within half a semester.

“Our Lanyue is so smart, clearly inheriting my excellent genes,” Lin Xu said, ruffling her hair.

The smile in Ji Yuqiao’s eyes shone even brighter, and she flipped through the album with renewed enthusiasm, “And this one…”

Time flew unaware, and Ji Yuqiao was in full swing speaking when the villa’s gate stirred with noise.

Ji Tingyang returned home from work.

As soon as he saw Lin Xu, the weariness from a day’s work seemed to suddenly vanish, and his mood lightened.

He had just taken a step towards Lin Xu when he caught sight of Xie Changyan, obscured by Ji Yuqiao’s figure, and his face instantly darkened.

“What are you doing here?” His gaze was cold, as if he were facing an unwelcome guest.

And Xie Changyan even had their family album in his hands.

Ji Tingyang’s gaze hardened, and he snatched back the album, “Who let you touch our things?”

“Big brother, what are you doing? I took it out to show Father,” Ji Yuqiao pouted, stepping forward to take back the album.

“How many times have I told you? He’s not our father.”

“But he is, he is! Why won’t you just believe it?” Ji Yuqiao shouted.

“Fine, then ask him what the safe code in our family study is. If he knows it, I’ll believe him,” Ji Tingyang roared.

“080900.”

A calm voice floated in from the side.

Ji Tingyang’s expression suddenly froze, and he turned his stiff neck to look at Xie Changyan sitting on the sofa.

Xie Changyan’s posture was relaxed, as he casually disclosed the password to the safe.

Ji Tingyang lifted his gaze, looking over at Lin Xu.

When Lin Xu heard the password, her face showed a look of understanding, and the corners of her lips curved into a shallow smile.

As Ji Tingyang looked her way, she shook her head, “It wasn’t me who said it, you know I never meddle in the company’s business, and I don’t know the password to the safe.”

Ji Tingyang then glanced at Ji Yuqiao, his gaze lingering on her for less than half a second before withdrawing it.

Forget it.

She’s even less likely to know.

So… how exactly did Xie Changyan find out?

Could it be Ji Zeqiu?

No, that can’t be right, the password was a secret between him and his father; Ji Zeqiu shouldn’t know it either.

For a moment, Ji Tingyang’s facial expression was somewhat complicated.

Ji Yuqiao was curious about the composition of the password, “0809 is big brother’s birthday, but what do the trailing zeroes stand for?”

“Tingyang was born right at midnight,” Lin Xu explained.

She looked mockingly at Xie Changyan, her tone laced with teasing, “I didn’t expect you and your son to have such a good relationship that even the password is your son’s birthday.”

When the topic was brought up, Xie Changyan’s expression turned somewhat helpless, “That day I was working in the study when he pushed past the servants and charged in, standing in front of the safe in the study, twisting the dial on the lock. When he found he couldn’t open it, he was so upset he wouldn’t stop crying.”

Ji Tingyang was only three years old at that time, the age when children are eager to explore the world.

The study door wasn’t closed that day, and Ji Tingyang toddled in, his attention quickly drawn to the safe behind the desk.

His small stature was almost as tall as the safe, and he peered around, inspecting it from left to right, fiddling for a long time. Upon realizing that he could not pull open the door of the safe, his wet eyes shed many small pearls.

His shoulders shook slightly, and his chubby little face was smeared with tears.

Ji Yanli, hearing his son’s heart-wrenching cries, picked him up and held him close, pulling a tissue to wipe away the tears on his face, “Be a man, don’t cry easily, understand?”

Ji Tingyang didn’t grasp what that meant, but once back in his father’s comforting embrace, the flood of tears had already stopped.

He sniffled, pointing to the safe not far away, “Daddy, open…”

“Do you want to open the safe?” Ji Yanli asked.

Ji Tingyang nodded his head.

With his son’s words, Ji Yanli opened the safe that held the company’s confidential files, with many folders inside.

Ji Tingyang reached out to take one, but before he could touch it, Ji Yanli caught his little hand.

“Do you want to look at these files? Do you want to help daddy with his work?” Ji Yanli chuckled.

Regardless of whether he understood or not, Ji Tingyang vaguely answered, “Help.”

“Then daddy will change the safe’s password to our Tingyang’s birthday. From now on, you’ll work hard to make money, so you can buy mommy lots of pretty dresses and jewelry, alright?”

“Okay!” Ji Tingyang nodded emphatically.

Ji Yanli: “The password is 080900. From now on, this safe is yours to safeguard.”
