Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

190: Side Story 4: Budding FeelingsNight fell, and Ding Xula stood in the center of the living room, being punished by Ding Xiaoyu with the ’Golden Rooster Stands Alone’ pose.

Not only that, she was also immobilized, unable to move.

Meanwhile, her three older brothers, Ding Yuxi, Ding Yuchen, and Ding Zhenyu, stood to the side, watching their sister’s unique posture with great interest.

They each walked past Ding Xula, some patting her head, while others wore faint smiles.

Ding Yuxi said softly, ’Be good, remember this lesson.’

Ding Yuchen chimed in, ’Exactly, don’t be so mischievous next time.’

Ding Zhenyu stroked his sister’s hair and comforted her, ’Alright, little sister, don’t be angry.’

Although immobilized, Ding Xula’s eyes were wide open, glaring intently at her three brothers.

She muttered to herself, determined to find a chance to get back at them.

In the room, Hao Jiaqi was pressing down on Xiaoyu, asking with a worried expression, ’Are we really going to keep our daughter immobilized all night? She has school tomorrow.’

Ding Xiaoyu, however, was unfazed. He kissed his wife’s lips gently and said, ’It’s fine. The little girl is too mischievous. If we don’t teach her a lesson, she won’t understand the seriousness of skipping class.’

Hao Jiaqi sighed helplessly and said, ’Alright, I’ll listen to you.’

Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyu’s lips curled slightly. He flipped over and pinned Hao Jiaqi down, whispering, ’Since our daughter is already being punished, let’s do some exercise too.’

Hao Jiaqi didn’t say anything, responding to Ding Xiaoyu’s suggestion with action.

However, they didn’t know that despite the room’s good soundproofing, due to the three brothers’ exceptionally high combat power index, they still heard some sounds.

Hearing the noises from their parents’ room, Ding Yuxi suddenly felt a bit awkward. He quickly covered his ears and muttered, ’Dad is really... still vigorous in his old age...’

Hearing his brother’s words, Ding Yuchen retorted dismissively, ’Dad isn’t that old yet! He hasn’t even reached middle age!’

Ding Zhenyu also chimed in, ’Mom is still young and beautiful too!’

Ding Yuxi rolled his eyes, looking at his two younger brothers with some exasperation, and explained, ’I was just using a figure of speech. Don’t take it so seriously.’

To avoid hearing more of these sounds, Ding Yuxi helplessly waved his hand and skillfully cast a barrier, isolating the room from the outside world.

At that moment, Ding Zhenyu suddenly thought of something and turned to ask Ding Yuxi, ’Brother, what about our sister? Should we set up a barrier for her too?’

Ding Yuxi thought for a moment, feeling that their sister was still too young to understand such things, and shook his head, saying, ’No need. She probably doesn’t understand.’

Ding Yuchen volunteered, ’I’ll go carry our sister in. Since she’s immobilized and can only stand like a ’Golden Rooster Stands Alone,’ she won’t run around anyway.’

Before the words finished, Ding Yuchen rushed out of the room like a gust of wind, heading to the living room to find his sister.

Meanwhile, at the Earth Dragon Gang—

Sunlight spilled into the courtyard, warm and tranquil.

Cai Wuxiong lay comfortably on a recliner, holding a book titled ’How to Grow the Most Beautiful Flowers,’ reading intently.

Suddenly, a crisp ringtone shattered the peace.

Cai Wuxiong quickly put down the book, pulled out her phone from her pocket, and saw the caller ID: ’My Big Treasure.’

Her face immediately lit up with a joyful smile, and she pressed the answer button without hesitation, ’Hey, Xiaoya, you’re coming back to the country? That’s great! I’ll have Dad pick you up!’

After hanging up, Cai Wuxiong was as excited as a child. She didn’t even bother putting on shoes, leaping up and running barefoot back to the room.

She urgently searched for Arthur Wang, finally finding him in the study, dealing with work matters.

Seeing Cai Wuxiong burst in energetically, Arthur Wang couldn’t help but curl his lips into a doting smile.

However, when he noticed Cai Wuxiong wasn’t wearing shoes, he shook his head helplessly and asked gently, ’Five Bears, where are your shoes?’

Cai Wuxiong didn’t bother answering. Like a cheerful little bird, she threw herself directly into Arthur Wang’s arms, cooing, ’Xiaoya is back. Go pick her up!’

Arthur Wang smiled and nodded, gently stroking Cai Wuxiong’s hair, comforting her, ’Alright, don’t rush. I’ll go pick her up right away. You stay home and wait nicely for Xiaoxin and Haohao to come back.’

Xiaoxin and Haohao are Arthur Wang and Cai Wuxiong’s two children: their second daughter, Wang Xinrui, and their youngest son, Wang Hao.

Wang Xinrui was born on the same year, month, and day as Ding Xiaoyu’s daughter, Ding Xula, while the youngest son just started elementary school this year.

Cai Wuxiong nodded repeatedly, her eyes sparkling with happiness, ’Okay, I’ll make your favorite dishes at home!’

Arthur Wang looked at Cai Wuxiong and said gently, ’Don’t overexert yourself.’

Hearing this, Cai Wuxiong smiled slightly, stood on her tiptoes, and lightly kissed Arthur Wang on the cheek, then said coyly, ’Hurry up and go.’

The sudden kiss left Arthur Wang a bit flustered. He touched the kissed spot, smiled, and replied, ’Alright, alright, alright.’

At the airport, people came and went, bustling with activity.

Wang Xinya stood in the crowd, particularly eye-catching.

Now grown into a graceful young woman, she had a slender figure and a lovely face.

She held her phone, seemingly hesitating whether to make a call, her finger slowly pressing down!

At the same time, Ding Yuxi’s phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Yaya calling. Instantly, a flicker of delight flashed in his eyes.

He quickly slipped into a quiet corner, pressed the answer button, and said softly, ’Hey, Yaya.’

Ding Yuchen and Ding Zhenyu, seeing their brother’s actions, were very curious.

Ding Zhenyu asked puzzledly, ’Big brother, who are you talking to?’

Ding Yuxi didn’t know about his brothers’ speculations; his attention was completely focused on the voice on the other end of the call.

Ding Yuchen guessed, ’Big brother, are you in a relationship?’

From the phone, Wang Xinya’s voice came through clearly, ’Yu-ge, I’m back!’

Ding Yuxi’s lips unconsciously curled up into a doting smile. He said softly, ’Yaya, you’re finally back.’

’Yeah, Yu-ge, see you tomorrow!’ Wang Xinya’s voice carried a hint of excitement.

Ding Yuxi quickly said, ’Should I come pick you up?’

However, Wang Xinya declined his offer, ’No need, my dad will pick me up.’

Ding Yuxi felt a bit disappointed, but he still smiled and said, ’Alright, see you tomorrow then.’

After hanging up, Ding Yuxi slowly walked out of the corner, his mood somewhat complicated.

He didn’t know exactly what his feelings for Wang Xinya were, but every time he heard her voice, an inexplicable warmth surged in his heart.

And at this moment, Arthur Wang was completely unaware that his precious daughter was about to be ’snatched away’ by a ’wolf’—and this ’wolf’ was the son of his good friend.
