"Then I’ll leave it to you, Xiao Xiao. It’s really great to have you around! Having a friend like you is truly a blessing for me!" Lan Baobao felt comforted, but there was still a nagging feeling in her heart that made her a bit uneasy.
"Baby, as soon as I heard your voice, I knew what you were thinking. Although I can be a bit unreliable, I always do my best for you. Just put your mind at ease!" Li Xiaoran was quite dissatisfied with Lan Baobao's doubts about her, as she always believed that no matter how unreliable she might be, Lan Baobao would always be even more unreliable than herself.
In this world, no matter what happens, Lan Baobao would never be more reliable than Li Xiaoran!
Li Xiaoran on the other end of the phone was pouting and looking displeased. Lan Baobao could easily imagine the expression on Li Xiaoran's face right now.
She smiled and apologized, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry! You handle things like a pro! How could I possibly worry? I trust you completely!"
"Mm mm mm, just relax! Well, I’ll hang up now. Make sure to get some sleep early!"
"Yeah, you too, Xiao Xiao. Make sure to rest early!"
On the other end, Li Xiaoran hung up the phone, yawned, and tears appeared in her eyes. It was unclear whether they were from yawning or from feeling uneasy.
These days, it’s really hard to be a good person; being a kind-hearted person is even more difficult!
After hanging up the phone, Lan Baobao thought she had made a significant decision and that her heart should have settled down.
However, her heart did not feel any more at ease; instead, it remained restless.
Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest with no signs of calming down!
Just after she hung up the phone, Mu Mu's head peeked through the gap in the door. His round eyes seemed to shine brightly in the darkness, looking both bright and adorable!
His cute demeanor was extremely charming and made it impossible not to like him.
Seeing Brother Mu arrive, Lan Baobao's heart felt a sense of foreboding, as if nothing good would come of it. However, Brother Mu and Ruo Ruo were her stress-relievers, and upon seeing him, Lan Baobao's mood lightened considerably.
"What are you doing, Mumu? Why aren't you in bed yet? If kids don't go to sleep early, they won't grow tall!" Upon seeing Mumu leaning against the door of the room with a look that suggested he had something to say, Lan Baobao put down her phone and waved at him.
Brother Mu had a smirk on his face, clearly unimpressed.
He wanted to shout: "Mommy, you're such a dummy! This kind of lie only works on other kids; it doesn't work on me at all!"
"Mumu can't sleep and just wants to find Mommy. Mommy, hug me!" When Mumu saw Lan Baobao wave him in, he let go of the doorknob and dove onto the bed, snuggling into Lan Baobao's arms.
His body rubbed against Lan Baobao's for a moment as he pretended to be an ordinary child, flashing her a sweet smile.
Lan Baobao's heart bloomed with joy!
Her son was finally starting to act a bit more like an ordinary child; he was so adorable!
"Mumu, why can't you sleep? Are you missing Mommy or did you eat too much for dinner?" Lan Baobao lovingly pulled Mumu into her embrace and asked, "Is Ruo Ruo asleep? She isn't still awake, is she? If girls don't get their beauty sleep, they'll age quickly!"
"Mommy, here we go again! Ruo Ruo is only five years old; how could she age just because she can't sleep?" Mumu replied somewhat helplessly. "Ruo Ruo got tired after walking back and fell asleep after her bath. Girls are just like that; they can't handle even a little bit of walking. I wanted to bring Ruo Ruo with me, but she was already asleep, so I didn't want to wake her up!"
Lan Baobao looked at the little imp in her arms and truly didn't know how to deal with him. He understood many things that adults knew; sometimes his methods were even more sophisticated than those of adults—at least more so than hers.
But he was just a child, merely five years old. On the surface, he was so cute and adorable that it made one want to pinch his cheeks!
"Since Ruo Ruo is already asleep, why did you come to find Mommy so late instead of going to bed?" Lan Baobao then asked.
"Mumu knows Mommy is feeling down, so I came to keep Mommy company!" Mumu blinked his big eyes earnestly.
Lan Baobao was quite surprised. She believed she had disguised her emotions well in front of the children, showing no signs of feeling down. How did Mumu see through her mood?
Was her acting skill really that poor, or was it just that Brother Mu was too smart to be deceived?
Regardless, she couldn't let Brother Mu and Ruo Ruo worry about her problems.
"Kids, what are you talking about? Mommy is in a great mood, and it's always been like this. There's nothing to worry about, Mumu," Lan Baobao forced a smile and insisted.
However, this tactic had no effect on Brother Mu at all.
He seemed to be like a worm in Lan Baobao's belly; with just one look from her, he could tell what she was thinking.
"Mommy, lying is not good for kids, especially since your lying skills are not very high. It's easy to see through, and you can't fool anyone. It definitely won't work in front of Mumu, so please don't lie to me," he said bluntly.
This little rascal, Mu Mu, was completely unfazed by Lan Baobao's act. He pointed out sharply, "Mommy is upset because Daddy did something that made you sad, right? Mommy, you can't fool Mumu."
Now Lan Baobao was even more astonished. How did this little genius figure it out?
Had her acting skills really become that poor? She couldn't even deceive a five-year-old; she was unwilling to admit that.
Thinking back carefully, trying to fool Brother Mu was simply a daydream!
From the moment he was born, as soon as his eyes opened and before he could even speak, he had already seen through Lan Baobao completely.
It was truly tragic—a person in their twenties being completely seen through by a child. What a blow to her pride!
“Mumu, how did you find out? Did someone tell you something? Or did you hear it from somewhere or from someone?” At this moment, seeing that Mumu seemed to fully understand the situation, Lan Baobao decided not to hide anything anymore, just curious about how Mumu discovered this.
Aside from Ye Zixun and Grandpa Ye, only Li Xiaoran knew about this matter. However... Xiao Xiao wouldn’t tell the child.
Ye Zixun had always opposed divorce, and he definitely wouldn’t discuss it with Brother Mu, as that would bring him a lot of trouble.
The only other person was Grandpa Ye, but Grandpa Ye also didn’t want them to divorce; it was unlikely he would let the two children worry about this matter.
He cared the most for the two children!
“You want to know? Then I’ll generously tell you, I overheard it! Hahaha…” Seeing Lan Baobao’s silly expression, Mumu found it amusing. How could he have such a silly mommy? But no matter how silly she was, she was still Ye Mu's most beloved woman in his life, without exception.
Since he had been granted such a silly mommy, how could he not laugh about it?
Haha, Mommy is really adorable!
This cheeky Mumu, when did he learn to eavesdrop? Isn’t that a bit too advanced?
Moreover, he overheard the news about Daddy and Mommy getting divorced. How could this kid look so happy about it?
So carefree!
He truly is Ye Zixun’s child; he’s even more cunning than his father. When Brother Mu grows up, he will definitely be more difficult to deal with than Ye Zixun.
“Hey, who would tell you about this? So it turns out you overheard it yourself; no wonder!”
Lan Baobao finally connected the dots and realized that all her curiosity had finally received a reasonable explanation.
Brother Mu must have sensed something strange earlier, which is why he was eavesdropping.
I can't believe I didn't notice it all along; I'm such a fool!
Lan Baobao sighed and pouted, saying, "I was wondering earlier how Grandpa suddenly knew about me and Ye Zixun. It must be this little rascal who leaked it, right? Tell me, why were you eavesdropping? Were you planning to tell Grandpa about this? Are you trying to stir up trouble? Huh?!"
While speaking, Lan Baobao pretended to pinch Mu Mu's cheeks fiercely, but she couldn't bring herself to apply any real force; she only gave them a gentle squeeze.
The texture feels really nice; maybe I should consider helping Brother Mu get a children's skincare product endorsement. It would definitely sell well!
"Mommy, spare me! Please go easy on me! Mommy, spare me!" Mumu quickly pretended to beg for mercy. Lan Baobao's grip wasn't strong at all; in fact, it felt somewhat pleasant.
"Mumu just wants Great-Grandfather to stand up for Mommy and not let Ye Zixun bully you! You can't fight against Daddy alone. Without Great-Grandfather's help, you'll definitely just end up being bullied!"
The clever Mu Mu quickly made his stance clear to show that he was on the right side, hoping to avoid falling victim to Lan Baobao's wrath.
"You little rascal! I really don't know what to say to you; you really do everything possible to cause trouble. It's so worrying!" Indeed, Lan Baobao let go of her grip, but her tone still carried a hint of reproach as she said, "How dare you tell your Great-Grandfather about all this? He's getting old; what if he gets angry and falls ill? In that case, will you take responsibility or will I?"
