Grandpa Ye saw that he had finally hit Ye Zixun, and his heart instantly bloomed with joy. The smile on his face was very pronounced, with wrinkles that could squash a fly. Ye Zixun let out a muffled sound, secretly cursing this old man for being so ruthless.
"This is your retribution. Alright, I'm going out to have some fun. You should just do whatever you need to do," Grandpa Ye said, feeling quite pleased after hitting Ye Zixun. He happily took the butler and left, completely disregarding his grandson's furious expression.
Grandpa Ye hummed a tune as he walked past Ye Zixun, looking so smug that it made Ye Zixun grit his teeth in anger. However, Ye Zixun didn't dare to retaliate. If he were to hit Grandpa Ye, it would be a huge act of disrespect. No one needed to say anything; even his older sister Ye Ziyun could kill him for that. So, Ye Zixun had no choice but to endure the humiliation.
Remembering that he had come back to deal with serious matters regarding his son, Ye Zixun quickly ran upstairs to find Mu Mu. When he opened the door to Mu Mu's room, he was shocked by the scene before him. His son was casually eating Ice Cream while playing an online game. How could he be so carefree? Ye Zixun felt a strong sense of imbalance in his heart.
"Where's your sister?" Ye Zixun asked after glancing around their room and noticing that his precious daughter was not there. Mu Mu leisurely put down the Ice Cream and glanced at Ye Zixun.
Ye Zixun was taken aback by Mu Mu's demeanor; at such a young age, he already exuded such confidence. What would it be like when he grew up? Nevertheless, he liked it; his son should indeed carry himself with such poise.
"What are you here for? Ruo Ruo has her own friends and went out to play." Although Mu Mu was reluctant to engage with Ye Zixun, for the sake of his mother's happiness, he still acted sensibly.
Ye Zixun was infuriated by Mu Mu's tone; how could this brat disregard him as his father? It was utterly disrespectful.
"Show me some respect; after all, I am your father," Ye Zixun said fiercely, never having anyone speak to him like that before, not even his own son.
Mu Mu shot a disdainful glance at Ye Zixun, calmly operating the mouse. After a long pause, he finally spoke again.
"Don't be angry; if it weren't for you provoking my mom, I wouldn't have to act like this. This is just a lesson for you. I want you to know that even if you are my father, I won't give you any face," Mu Mu said boldly, staring at Ye Zixun without an ounce of fear.
Ye Zixun felt a jolt; his son had quite the spirit. However, it was fortunate that Mu Mu was his child; if he were someone else's kid, Ye Zixun would definitely not let him live another day.
"Very good; you've got guts, and I like that," Ye Zixun completely forgot about the earlier intimidation from Mu Mu. Truly shameless!
Mu Mu facepalmed; what an incredibly foolish father he had. He wished for a truly clever dad, but this one was the genuine article—there was simply no way to replace him.
"Your approval makes me very uneasy," Mu Mu replied without giving any ground.
Ye Zixun had a face full of black lines; his son was truly being very uncooperative. Thinking about the important matter he still had to attend to, he decided not to beat around the bush with Mumu. From his recent observations, it was clear that Mumu was definitely in the know.
"Alright, I'm not going to joke around with you anymore. Let's quickly discuss serious matters." Ye Zixun was anxious, very anxious. His wife was still sleeping at someone else's house, and he suddenly felt quite miserable; living with a wife but not being able to sleep with her was simply unbearable.
"Are you trying to find out why my mommy is angry and why she is giving you the cold shoulder?" Mumu pointed out the real reason for Ye Zixun's late-night visit with pinpoint accuracy.
Ye Zixun didn't hide anything at that moment and instead readily admitted it. He was a real man who never denied anything. Since he had been seen through, he simply acknowledged it openly; there was nothing shameful about it.
"That's right."
Mumu fell silent for a moment. It seemed that his biological father did have feelings for their mommy after all. However, why would he let Yan Momo receive the call? This was a question Mumu had been pondering for a while, but since he wasn't directly involved, he couldn't guess their thoughts. He could only wait quietly for Ye Zixun to take the initiative to find him, and fortunately, Ye Zixun did not disappoint him.
"Were you out having dinner with Pan Xinzi and Yan Momo that night?" Mumu decided to sort out his thoughts first.
"Yeah, so what? That was a business matter, and your mommy knows about it too," Ye Zixun felt that his son's question was quite lacking in maturity; it severely damaged his reputation.
Mumu rolled his eyes at him; he really was a cold-hearted guy. He must know what Pan Xinzi and Yan Momo had done to mommy in the past, yet he still acted so self-righteous. It was infuriating.
"You know about the entanglement between mommy and those two bitches, right?" Mumu asked coldly.
"I know, but I just wanted to deal with Pan Xinzi in business. Otherwise, why would I be foolish enough to collaborate with him? That lousy company would be a loss for me too," Ye Zixun felt wronged; he was clearly just trying to be kind. Why did it end up with him having a son who didn't care for him and a wife who didn't love him?
Mumu was stunned; honestly, he hadn't expected that his father's collaboration with Pan Xinzi was due to this reason. If he hadn't come out today, Mumu might have continued misunderstanding Ye Zixun like mommy did. He thought Ye Zixun attended that dinner because he was attracted to Yan Momo's beauty; the truth turned out to be quite different. The dark world Mumu had been living in for so long dissipated because of Ye Zixun's light explanation.
At that moment, Mumu broke into a smile. When Ye Zixun saw Mumu's smile, he couldn't help but be taken aback; this was the first time since meeting Mumu that he saw such an authentic smile from him. Ye Zixun's heart softened because of Mumu's smile; having a son didn't seem like such a bad thing after all.
"Then it's easy to handle. Mommy called you during that dinner, but it was Yan Momo who answered the phone." Mumu paused before continuing, "She said many hurtful things, which made mommy very sad. As a result, she misunderstood that you were messing around with Yan Momo and has been angry with you ever since."
After listening to his son's words, Ye Zixun finally realized what had happened. At that moment, he suddenly remembered that during that dinner, when Pan Xinzi got drunk and went to the bathroom without taking his phone, it might have been then that Lan Baobao's call got answered by Yan Momo. Thinking about what Yan Momo might have said to Lan Baobao made Ye Zixun feel murderous towards her.
"Yan Momo! That damn woman must have received a call from the baby while I was in the bathroom. What's worse is that she deleted the call log, so I have no idea that your mommy called me." Ye Zixun gritted his teeth, feeling utterly tormented by Yan Momo, this heartless woman. He had thought she was decent at first. It turned out everything was just an illusion.
"Dad, you didn't know mommy called you?" Mu Mu asked happily. Thankfully, their dad wasn't with the person they hated the most; that was already very uplifting news.
"Of course not! If I had known, would I have ended up in this miserable state?" Ye Zixun retorted to Mu Mu, feeling like he was the most pitiful person among everyone.
"That's good. As long as you haven't gotten together with that wicked woman Yan Momo, it's fine." Mu Mu confirmed repeatedly, finally feeling relieved.
Ye Zixun rubbed his forehead. His son was really just a five-year-old boy; how could he understand so much? Could it be because of his strong genes?
"You, how do you know so much? What does getting together even mean? Do you know what that means?" Ye Zixun felt he should educate Mu Mu a bit since he was his biological son after all.
Mu Mu disdainfully snorted at Ye Zixun. With today's advanced technology, how could he not know? His dad really underestimated him. "Isn't it just going to bed together?" Mu Mu said casually, causing Ye Zixun to choke on his own saliva.
"Alright, it's time for you to sleep. It's getting late." After learning the truth of the matter, Ye Zixun finally relaxed and unconsciously spoke to his son with a bit of tenderness.
This was the first time Mu Mu felt cared for by his dad, making him feel flattered. So he obediently closed the game and lay down in bed, preparing to sleep, even though the time felt too short. However, Mu Mu wanted to truly experience his father's care. No matter how mature a child is, they ultimately crave paternal love; even a smart child like Mu Mu was no exception.
Ye Zixun personally tucked Mu Mu in before leaving his son's room with satisfaction. Mu Mu knew very well that as long as his dad learned the truth, his mommy would soon return. By then, Ruo Ruo wouldn't keep crying for their mommy anymore. Mu Mu firmly believed in Ye Zixun's abilities and decided to go to bed early tonight.
