"Is that so?"
Brother Mu secretly wore a mischievous smile. If she wasn't falling for this, then who would?
“Mommy, you haven't taken us out to play in a long time. Do you not love us anymore? Mumu and Ruo Ruo are so sad. You just stay at home with nothing to do, but you hardly pay attention to us. We are really very sad!”
Mu Mu broke free from Lan Baobao's embrace, pouting with his brows furrowed together in a way that looked utterly pitiful.
His sorrowful expression made people feel both heartbroken and tempted to give him a big kiss on the cheek.
Ah, who gave birth to such a cute and beautiful child?
It was her, Lan Baobao!
“Mommy, do you not love me and my brother anymore? Is my brother's forehead real? If you don't love us anymore, then who do you love? Have you fallen for someone else, or do you have a new baby now and don’t love us anymore?” Soon after, Ruo Ruo mimicked Mumu's expression, looking just as upset.
Her ability to tug at the heartstrings was definitely on par with Brother Mu.
Ruo Ruo's bright, watery eyes sparkled innocently as she pouted adorably, making Lan Baobao want to find a big hole to hide in.
Ah, why did she have to give birth to such an adorable pair of twins?
“How could that be, my dear? Mommy's favorite people are both of you. No one holds more weight in Mommy's heart than you two. Mommy loves you both dearly.
And also, even though Mommy doesn't go out to work, it doesn't mean I'm just idling around doing nothing. I have many worries!”
Seeing the two children looking as if it were the end of the world, Lan Baobao quickly squatted down and hugged them tightly.
“You two are Mommy's most cherished treasures. You are Mommy's most beloved ones. How could Mommy not love you?”
"Mommy loves you the most! Please don't cry, okay? When you cry, Mommy's heart breaks!"
Mu Mu saw everything going according to plan and secretly shook her beauty at Ruo Ruo, then asked, "Then why doesn't Mommy want to take me and Ruo Ruo out for a walk? We both want to go out with Mommy. It's been such a long time since we went out together. Ruo Ruo, don't you really want to go out for a walk with Mommy?"
Brother Mu threw the question to Ruo Ruo, who blinked her round eyes and followed up with Brother Mu's words, "Yes, Mommy, I really want to go out for a walk with you too! Ruo Ruo wants to spend more time with Mommy!"
"But Mommy has been ignoring us lately. Ruo Ruo and Brother are very sad! Mommy, why have you not been close to us recently? It makes us so sad..."
Lan Baobao felt helpless. She thought that staying at home would only make her mood worse, so it would be better to go out with these two little troublemakers. Maybe she could figure things out that had been bothering her.
After all...
Sigh, she really couldn't resist these two little ones!
"Okay, okay, it's all Mommy's fault. Mommy shouldn't ignore you two! I thought you both were having a great time playing by yourselves!"
"Since you want Mommy to take you out to play, fine, we'll go for a walk. But it can only be for one hour! If it's too long, Grandpa Ye will worry! So let's agree on one hour, okay?"
"Okay, we'll listen to Mommy!" Brother Mu seemed very happy as he held one of Lan Baobao's hands while the other hand was immediately grabbed by a soft little hand.
Lan Baobao smiled as she held the two children on either side of her. Her heart felt warm; all the gloom and discomfort from the past few days seemed to vanish in an instant.
Indeed, children are the best healing treasures!
Lan Baobao led the two children toward a tree-lined path behind the villa, while the slightly lagging Mu Mu gave a victory sign to Ruo Ruo behind Lan Baobao.
Ruo Ruo had always admired her brother deeply. In her heart, Mu Mu was the smartest child in the world.
His words were never wrong.
On the contrary, what Mommy wants to do, out of ten things, eight are wrong, and one is still up for discussion, leaving only one thing that can barely be considered a success.
Ruo Ruo sometimes wonders why Mommy's brain is so poor yet she has managed to live until now.
After thinking it over, Ruo Ruo came to an answer.
In the first half, it was due to good luck; in the second half, it was because they had this pair of little babies as guardians that allowed her to live safely until now.
It shows that luck is indeed very important for a person.
Especially for someone like Mommy, who looks passable but has a very poor brain; luck is extremely crucial!
Meanwhile, after work, Ye Zixun returned home and naturally could only see Grandpa Ye alone. This way, the two of them could finally have a clear conversation.
Ye Zixun, dragging his weary body, walked into the living room and saw Grandpa Ye sitting upright on the sofa, hands supporting his cane, looking extremely serious. The atmosphere instantly became oppressive.
"Old man, what is it this time? I'm very busy; I even turned down a business deal for your sake today. If you have something to say, just get to the point!" Ye Zixun took off his suit and politely greeted him, though he couldn't help but complain a bit.
Still the same as before, speaking casually as if he were that playboy before getting married!
"Sit down!" Grandpa Ye didn't even glance at him. Hearing Ye Zixun's voice made a surge of Fury rise within him, and he sternly ordered Ye Zixun to sit down in front of him.
Upon hearing the old man's tone today, Ye Zixun felt something was off but could only obediently sit down; after all, he was the grandson and Grandpa was Grandpa.
"What is it? Grandpa." As soon as Ye Zixun sat down, he eagerly asked.
"You little Stinky Kid!” Grandpa Ye didn’t care about his grandson’s feelings at all. After all, he was the grandfather; it was only natural for him to discipline his grandson. Even if he were to beat this kid to death today, it would be justified!
Grandpa Ye scolded loudly, "You better honestly confess what shameful things you've been doing outside lately! You little Stinky Kid, you always find trouble for me every evening."
"You little Stinky Kid, are you trying to find ways to annoy me because you think I live too long? I'm warning you, if you keep making me angry, we won't be done with this!"
"Something shameful?!"
Ye Zixun didn't like hearing that. Although he wasn't exactly a goody-two-shoes with overflowing justice, and occasionally used some tricks, he was quite cunning and wouldn't show mercy to his enemies.
But what does that imply? It only shows that he is a capable and scheming man!
He wouldn't stoop to doing something shameful; that would be an insult to his character!
By the way, does he even have a character?
Ah, forget it. Whoever wants that kind of thing can take it; he doesn't care. Even if he has a character, it wouldn't make Lan Baobao trust him any more, so what's the point?
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? I haven't done anything wrong lately. I've been following the rules and focusing on business."
"Look at my face; I don't look as handsome and carefree as before. If I keep working hard like this, I might end up looking like you sooner than expected!" Ye Zixun said helplessly.
However, such nonsense might fool others into thinking he's playful and charming, giving him some leeway.
But if those words were directed at Grandpa Ye, they would definitely not be believed.
"Stinky Kid, do you dare to talk nonsense with me? I'm your grandfather, not one of those people in your company. You haven't done anything? Give me another chance; are you saying you've done nothing at all?
Confess honestly for leniency; resist strictly for severity. If you're lying, I'm worried I'll have to deal with you!"
"Grandpa, I really haven't done anything! Did you hear some rumors again? Those are all lies! It's just some people with ulterior motives who won't let go of me unless they stir up some news. Old man, don't listen to them! You have to believe your grandson is innocent!"
Grandpa Ye was quite agile; upon hearing Ye Zixun's words, his nerves were stimulated, and he suddenly sprang up from the soft sofa, startling Ye Zixun.
I never expected that as a person ages, their legs would still be so agile! Their movements are just as nimble as before.
Fortunately, their skills were good enough to dodge the situation.
"What have you done? Do you dare to tell me you haven't done anything? I ask you, if you haven't done anything, then why would Lan Baobao want to divorce you? Don't forget that you already have a wife, yet you're still fooling around outside. You're simply a scoundrel!
I don't care who the woman outside is; anyway, the future mistress of the Ye Family can only be Lan Baobao. I won't acknowledge anyone else!
Did you hear that?!"
It turned out Grandpa Ye was angry about this matter, and Ye Zixun finally had some clarity. However, facing such unfounded accusations still deeply affected his mood.
Clearly, he hadn't done anything wrong; it was just a matter of some interests, merely taking advantage of that foolish woman Mu Jiao'er.
But being misunderstood turned it into a headache.
He never expected things would turn out this way. If he had known, he wouldn't have invited Mu Jiao'er to the company to show off.
