How Could I Possibly Have a Daughter After Reincarnating?

“Mom, you’re finally back! Ye Ye’s stomach is about to shrink from hunger… Hmm?”

The moment Ling Ye heard the door open, she knew her Mom had returned. She ran over to complain but stopped short upon noticing a familiar figure following her Mom inside.

Even the ever-cold Ye Xuan couldn’t suppress a faint smile at Ling Ye’s adorable expression. “Long time no see, Ye Ye~”

“Hello, Sister Ye Xuan.”

Ling Ye had a fairly positive impression of Sister Ye Xuan. At least she didn’t openly take advantage of her Mom. As for what went on behind the scenes, Ling Ye couldn’t be sure, though she suspected Ye Xuan wasn’t much different from the other women.

Still, why did her Mom attract so many admirers? Generally, someone as beautiful as her Mom should have a crowd of handsome men surrounding her. Instead, her Mom was constantly followed by an array of stunning women. Where had things gone wrong?

Ling Ye sighed. Why wasn’t she growing up faster? If she were older, she could finally compete with all those other women.

After all, the “study materials” on her Mom’s computer always featured busty older women. Why couldn’t her Mom prefer flat-chested, loli-type characters? Then Ling Ye wouldn’t need to grow up. How perfect would that be?

Seeing her daughter’s conflicted expression, Ling Ning tilted her head in confusion. Not understanding the issue, she decided to leave it alone and walked straight into the kitchen.

She still had ingredients at home, so there was no need for shopping.

Just as Ling Ning began preparing dinner, Ye Xuan entered the kitchen and said in a calm voice, “Let me help.”

“Huh? Are you sure you’re here to help?” Ling Ning eyed Ye Xuan suspiciously, feeling as though she had ulterior motives.

“Yes.”

Ye Xuan nodded lightly, her expression unreadable. Ling Ning hesitated before nodding. Having an extra person would make things quicker, after all.

But Ling Ning soon regretted her decision—Ye Xuan was clearly there to take advantage of her.

Feeling a hand on her thigh, Ling Ning coughed lightly and whispered, “Didn’t you say you were here to help? What is your hand doing?”

“I’m just helping Ling Ning relax her thighs.”

Ye Xuan’s serious tone almost convinced Ling Ning to believe her.

Sighing deeply, Ling Ning decided to ignore her. It seemed like Ye Xuan’s boundaries were constantly being pushed. What used to stop at her knees now crept dangerously close to sensitive areas. If this continued, Ling Ning felt she’d be doomed.

Still, she didn’t have time to deal with Ye Xuan’s antics. It was already late, and her daughter was hungry. Making dinner was her top priority.

After a while, Ling Ning called out to the living room, “Ye Ye, go check if Sister Xia You wants to join us for dinner.”

“Okay!”

Ling Ye quickly crawled out from under the kotatsu, dashed to the door, and ran outside without even closing it. Moments later, she returned just as swiftly, diving back under the kotatsu.

Basking in the warmth, Ling Ye finally reported, “Sister Xia You said she didn’t sleep at all last night and is still resting.”

“Ah.”

Ling Ning sighed softly. Xia You was pulling all-nighters again. She’d have to talk to her about it—prolonged sleep deprivation was harmful to one’s health.

Despite Ye Xuan’s ulterior motives, she did help Ling Ning with some prep work, allowing dinner to be ready earlier than expected.

Looking at the sumptuous dishes spread across the table, Ling Ning nodded in satisfaction and called out, “Ye Ye, dinner’s ready!”

The moment she heard this, Ling Ye shot out from under the kotatsu and rushed to the dining table. Just as she was about to sit, Ling Ning stopped her.

“My dear Ye Ye, are you forgetting something?”

“Ah… I’ll go wash my hands.”

Ling Ye scurried to the kitchen, and Ling Ning’s lips curved into a soft smile as she watched her daughter leave.

As Ling Ning enjoyed her meal, she suddenly felt a leg resting against hers. Without looking, she knew it was Ye Xuan.

Sensing Ling Ning’s gaze, Ye Xuan glanced at her calmly.

Unbelievable. Could Ye Xuan not use her hands at the dinner table, so she resorted to using her legs?

Meanwhile, Ling Ye, blissfully unaware, noticed the table vibrating slightly. Ling Ning quickly stopped her own movements, trapping Ye Xuan’s wandering leg in place.

Feeling her leg immobilized, Ye Xuan clicked her tongue in mild annoyance but focused on eating. She had to admit, Ling Ning’s cooking was exceptional. Even someone with a small appetite like her ended up having a second helping.

After dinner and cleaning up, Ling Ning happily curled up under the kotatsu. In the cold of winter, nothing compared to the warmth of a kotatsu. It truly felt like heaven.

But her heaven was soon disrupted by a wandering hand.

With her daughter in the bath, there was only one possible culprit. Sure enough, it was Ye Xuan.

FeeLing Ning Ling’s gaze, Ye Xuan asked nonchalantly, “Can I take off your stockings? It’s been a while since I’ve touched Ling Ning’s bare thighs.”

“Isn’t it the same through stockings?”

“It’s not the same. The texture is completely different.”

Ye Xuan’s serious tone made Ling Ning hesitate. Taking them off wouldn’t be a big deal, but her bare thighs were incredibly sensitive. Could she handle it?

As Ling Ning hesitated, she felt Ye Xuan’s hand tugging at her stockings.

“Wait… wait! I’ll do it myself.”

Resigned, Ling Ning carefully removed her stockings. The sensation of Ye Xuan’s hands roaming over her bare thighs sent an inexplicable feeling coursing through her.

A faint blush spread across her cheeks, making her look as though… she was tempting someone to commit a crime.
