Gu Feng nodded, "It seems you still need to go back and ask your precious son." Gu Feng sincerely offered this advice, viewing Mu Mu as an adult. He did not regard Mu Mu as just a five-year-old child, which made Mu Mu quite fond of Uncle Gu Feng.
"Ask that Stinky Kid? Gu Feng, are you joking? He's only five years old, how could he possibly know anything?" Ye Zixun was taken aback by Gu Feng's bold suggestion; he couldn't believe how much Gu Feng valued his cunning little boy.
"Yes, you heard me right. I want you to go back and ask Mumu," Gu Feng said seriously, showing no signs of joking.
Ye Zixun shot Gu Feng a fierce glare. What kind of joke was that? He was the boy's father; how could he lower himself to ask his son about his wife?
"Zi Xun, don't be so unconvinced. Mumu is not an ordinary child. I've had his IQ tested; Mumu is a genius," Gu Feng patiently explained, feeling a bit exasperated that Ye Zixun seemed so unaware of his own child's true abilities.
"Of course, my Ye Zixun's child is the smartest," Ye Zixun clearly missed the point. Although he wasn't particularly fond of his biological son, hearing someone praise Mumu filled him with a strong sense of pride as a father.
"Well then, Gu Feng, I'm heading home," Ye Zixun quickly dismissed Gu Feng and eagerly wanted to return home to ask that Stinky Kid Lan Baobao what was going on.
Without waiting for Gu Feng's response, he drove off. Gu Feng stood there and watched as Ye Zixun's car kicked up dust while leaving, smiling wryly. Was there anyone who had it harder than him? Gu Feng thought there surely wasn't.
Gu Feng would have liked to see Lan Baobao and Ye Zixun divorce; he had countless ways to make them initiate the separation. However, he couldn't do that. One was his long-time good brother, and the other was his lifesaver. This made it impossible for Gu Feng to act against his principles; he had his own moral boundaries. After standing quietly for a while, Gu Feng drove away. If he had time, it would be better to help Ye Zixun find out what was really happening. Gu Feng could see that Lan Baobao had already fallen in love with Ye Zixun. Perhaps her love was still faint now, but when love truly arrived, how many people could resist it? Ye Zixun and Lan Baobao were destined to be deeply in love with each other.
When Lan Baobao and Li Xiaoran returned to their previous neighborhood, they finally felt relieved. Lan Baobao followed Li Xiaoran quietly into the house and sat silently on the sofa. Li Xiaoran knew that Lan Baobao's heart must be in turmoil right now; whenever Lan Baobao was distressed, she would always sit quietly in one place without speaking. This habit had almost become an unchangeable part of Lan Baobao's life.
Li Xiaoran went to the kitchen to heat some water, preparing to make Lan Baobao a cup of hot cocoa. When Lan Baobao was feeling down, she loved hot cocoa. In her words, the sweetness of hot cocoa could wash away the unpleasantness of life. Thus, this habit of Lan Baobao was remembered by Li Xiaoran.
When Li Xiaoran placed the rich and fragrant hot cocoa in front of Lan Baobao, the familiar scent made Lan Baobao tear up. It had been a long time since anyone had made her a cup of hot cocoa when she was feeling down; she hadn't experienced that during her five lonely years outside.
"Ranran, you are so good to me," Lan Baobao suddenly threw herself onto Li Xiaoran, unable to hold back her tears any longer.
Li Xiaoran was startled by the sudden tears of Lan Baobao. She had rarely seen Lan Baobao cry before, and now that she did, she felt a bit at a loss.
“Baby, what’s wrong? What happened?” Li Xiaoran quickly took out a tissue to wipe Lan Baobao's tears, her face filled with concern.
Lan Baobao did not answer and continued to cry in Li Xiaoran's arms, as if she wanted to shed all the tears of her life. Li Xiaoran couldn't help but worry; it seemed that Lan Baobao had truly suffered a great injustice. Otherwise, how could she be so sad? Li Xiaoran pondered the reason for Lan Baobao's tears, but after thinking for a while, she still had no clue. Just then, Li Xiaoran suddenly remembered that after dinner today, Ye Zixun had appeared out of nowhere. A thought flashed through her mind—could it be because of Ye Zixun?
After a long time, Lan Baobao finally stopped crying. Once she had cried enough, she leaned her red-nosed face against Li Xiaoran's shoulder. Seeing Lan Baobao like this made Li Xiaoran's heart ache.
“Xiaoran, I met Pan Xinzi and Yan Momo,” Lan Baobao began to speak slowly.
Li Xiaoran's heart sank; how could those two scoundrels suddenly appear in Baby's world?
“What on earth happened?” Li Xiaoran asked anxiously.
Li Xiaoran's heartfelt concern warmed Lan Baobao's heart. She couldn't help but think that having friends was such a wonderful thing. Lan Baobao even felt a bit regretful for not keeping in touch with Li Xiaoran during the five years she had been away.
“I ran into them while having dinner with Ye Zixun. Later, Ye Zixun also learned about my past entanglements with them. He told me he would never let me be bullied by them again. At that moment, I was really touched. But then Pan Xinzi and Yan Momo came to the company because of a collaboration project. After discussing the project, Yan Momo wanted to invite Ye Zixun to dinner. Ironically, Ye Zixun didn’t refuse. He dropped me off at Ye Family Mansion and went to meet them. That night, I couldn’t help but call him, but it was Yan Momo who answered and said a lot of sarcastic things.” After finishing her story, Lan Baobao was once again in tears. She thought that having fun today would help her forget these things, but she realized she wasn’t as strong as she had imagined.
“That shameless woman.” After hearing Lan Baobao's words, Li Xiaoran angrily cursed Yan Momo. She couldn’t believe that even after five years, Yan Momo was still so shameless and that her shamelessness seemed to have deepened over time.
“Really, Yan Momo must be lacking love. How can she feel so justified in stealing someone else's husband? Does she have no shame? If she likes men so much, she should just become a prostitute instead of messing around like this,” Li Xiaoran increasingly detested Yan Momo; this woman was truly shameless beyond limits.
“And that Ye Zixun isn’t any good either; he just jumps at every woman he sees. He has no principles at all.” Li Xiaoran’s face was filled with anger; even if Ye Zixun held a high position, so what? As long as he upset her friend Lan Baobao, Li Xiaoran would not hold back from scolding him.
“Yeah, they are jerks,” Lan Baobao agreed. After crying, her mood improved quite a bit. Tears can sometimes be quite good; they can make one appear weak and pitiful while also releasing pent-up frustrations. They are truly an essential item for home life.
"Alright, alright, baby, let's go to bed and get some sleep. Just a little nap, and tomorrow will be a new day." Although Li Xiaoran usually had a carefree attitude, she was very reliable when it mattered.
"Mm, okay. Ranran, I'm sorry for bothering you all night," Lan Baobao said apologetically. She felt guilty for always disturbing Li Xiaoran.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do we need to be polite between us? Are you itching for a fight, Lan Baobao?" Li Xiaoran's fierce expression made Lan Baobao laugh, warming her heart.
"Hehe." Lan Baobao chuckled foolishly.
After crying for a long time, Lan Baobao was already exhausted. Once she lay down on the bed, she quickly fell into a deep sleep. Seeing that Lan Baobao was sound asleep, Li Xiaoran let out a heavy sigh. Sometimes she wondered if Lan Baobao's decision to marry into a wealthy family was the right one, but whether it was right or wrong was not something she could decide. All Li Xiaoran could do was provide support when Lan Baobao was tired and sad, and nothing more. Perhaps this was the unspoken understanding between friends.
Back at home, Ye Zixun did not see Mumu or Ruo Ruo in the living room, and he was already anxious.
"Mumu, where have you run off to, you stinky kid?" Ye Zixun shouted loudly at home. The servants were shocked by the commotion from the young master. They had worked for the Ye Family for many years and had never seen Ye Zixun lose control like this; he had no dignity at all. The young maids were flustered; this loud man was indeed the young master they had always admired.
"What are you shouting about?" Grandpa Ye came down from upstairs with his cane. Upon seeing his grandson, he wore an angry expression. This grandson seemed to be regressing; he was even worse than his great-grandchildren.
"Grandpa, I don't have time for jokes right now. Quickly tell me where Mumu has gone!" Ye Zixun didn't want to waste time with Grandpa Ye; his wife was still sleeping at someone else's house, and all he wanted was for her to come home quickly.
"Ye Zixun, you unfilial grandson." Grandpa Ye was furious upon hearing Ye Zixun's disrespectful words and swung his cane at him. In his anxious state, Ye Zixun forgot to dodge and ended up getting hit by Grandpa Ye.
