Reluctant to part with Mumu and Ruo Ruo, she decided to sleep with the two children.
However, Lan Baobao was also afraid that Ye Zixun would return and discover she was not in her room, not knowing what kind of trouble he might cause. So, after giving the two children a bath, she deliberately said to the two guards watching the door, "Tonight, Mommy is going to sleep in your beds!"
In fact, Lan Baobao was not completely thoughtless; perhaps having spent so much time around Ye Zixun, she had learned some basic coping strategies.
Every night when Ye Zixun returned, he would first have a word with those two downstairs.
Although Lan Baobao did not hear what they were discussing, judging by their expressions, she could guess it was about her.
There really were only those trivial matters at home.
Besides her, what else could Ye Zixun be interested in?
Taking advantage of the time spent in the bathroom, Lan Baobao carefully reviewed the plan that Jin Bai and Mu Mu had suggested to her, checking if there were any overlooked details. This was something that could only succeed and not fail; if Ye Zixun discovered her deception and brought her back, Lan Baobao knew her future life would be dark and hopeless.
She could almost imagine what Ye Zixun's face would look like upon discovering he had been deceived.
Naturally, Lan Baobao found no flaws in her plan and intended to call Li Xiaoran to come help her with this big venture. However, while scrolling through her contacts, a familiar name suddenly caught her eye.
Mu Jiangfeng.
Compared to Li Xiaoran, who couldn't even carry a suitcase, Mu Jiangfeng's support might be more reliable, right?
Li Xiaoran might get too excited and shout loudly, attracting Ye Zixun's attention.
Many plans fail because of women like Li Xiaoran!
Moreover, Mu Jiangfeng had a car, which would make escaping a bit easier.
Moreover, their family has been in politics for three generations. Even Ye Zixun wouldn't dare to casually search someone else's territory and property!
"But if you figure something out, you must tell me. No matter the situation, I will definitely help you."
Mu Jiangfeng's words echoed in Lan Baobao's mind.
If she called Mu Jiangfeng for help, he would surely assist her, right?
Now that she had come to a realization, she no longer wanted to endure Ye Zixun's repeated provocations. She needed to leave; she had to leave and live for herself this time.
No matter what the outcome would be, at least she would have tried once. It would make her heart feel a little better compared to doing nothing!
She stared at the phone for a while and finally changed her mind, dialing Mu Jiangfeng's number.
The phone rang a few times.
Mu Jiangfeng's phone didn't have any ringtones, just the simplest and most monotonous sound.
He was lying on a bed in his office, busy with his work. When his phone vibrated, he really wanted to smash it!
But then he glanced at the phone's display.
Lan Baobao!
She actually called me?!
Seeing that Lan Baobao was calling him made Mu Jiangfeng feel a bit excited, his heart racing.
He had just been lying on the bed, ready to take a good nap to relieve his fatigue, but because of Lan Baobao's call, all his drowsiness vanished.
"Lan Baobao? Why did you suddenly call me? Is something wrong? Did Ye Zixun bully you again? Do you want me to teach him a lesson?"
Now that Mu Jiangfeng knows about Lan Baobao's special situation, he naturally cares about her even more. In fact, he is constantly worried about Lan Baobao over there.
If Lan Baobao asked him to kill Ye Zixun, Mu Jiangfeng would do it without hesitation!
"Uh, Mu Jiangfeng, you don't need to be so nervous; it's making me feel a bit embarrassed..."
Hearing Mu Jiangfeng's voice sent shivers down Lan Baobao's spine.
Lan Baobao still felt a bit shy about saying these things. To avoid her husband, she was actually seeking help from another man—how embarrassing...
"Actually, I... I have something I want to ask you for help with. I don't know if you're willing to help me?"
Finally, he got to hear this!
Mu Jiangfeng's heart raced wildly, and he felt a surge of excitement!
He had longed for this moment countless times!
Mu Jiangfeng always hoped that Lan Baobao would take the initiative to call him and ask for his help, as if he had a "Welcome to Disturb" label stuck on his forehead.
"Of course I'm willing to help you! No matter what you want to do, I'll help you unconditionally!
Baby, have you finally decided to leave Ye Zixun?"
Mu Jiangfeng seemed even more excited than Lan Baobao, repeating and emphasizing his words over and over again.
"Yes, I called you for this matter."
Compared to Mu Jiangfeng's excitement, Lan Baobao appeared much calmer. After all, she had made a significant decision regarding everything, lacking confidence in the future and feeling filled with fear.
Naturally, she wouldn't share Mu Jiangfeng's enthusiasm.
"Great! You've finally come to your senses. Just tell me what to do, and I'll make sure to handle it perfectly!" Mu Jiangfeng truly proved to be a worthy friend, showing such eagerness for someone he cared about.
Of course, people are inherently self-interested; his actions were entirely motivated by the fact that his heart had long been filled with thoughts of Lan Baobao. He couldn't help but feel excited like he had been injected with adrenaline while fighting for the freedom of the woman he loved.
Lan Baobao carefully explained the strategy she had previously discussed with Mu Mu to Mu Jiangfeng. He listened attentively and, after some careful consideration, agreed without any hesitation.
"Don't worry, Baobao. I will personally go to the Ye Family to bring you out."
Due to the uniqueness of Lan Baobao's name, every time someone addressed her in a more intimate manner, it immediately took on an ambiguous tone. Fortunately, after all these years associated with this name, Lan Baobao had fully adapted and didn't find it strange.
"Thank you, Mu Jiangfeng. Once this matter is resolved, I will repay you properly!" Lan Baobao said softly, expressing her gratitude to someone who was willing to lend a hand during her difficult times.
Of course, her idea of repayment was merely treating him to a meal; however, it was clear that Mu Jiangfeng misunderstood her intentions.
Repayment?
Did she mean offering herself in return?
Mu Jiangfeng's face flushed as his thoughts wandered.
What came to mind was the image of Lan Baobao in the nude.
So beautiful, so anticipated.
After waiting for such a long time, he finally felt he had a chance!
"Baby, don't be so polite with me. We've known each other for such a long time, it's only natural for me to do some things for you. You don't need to thank me."
"Well... no, thanking you is still necessary. I don't have many friends, and you are one of the few who can help me. I should be thanking you instead."
"I'll go rest now; I've been very sleepy lately. So, we're good."
"Yeah, we're good!"
Mu Jiangfeng felt a surge of excitement.
She thought that Mu Jiangfeng was only concerned about her as a friend and never considered any deeper feelings or whether he had his own thoughts.
One was a married woman, and the other was the heir of a prominent family involved in politics for three generations. Such families valued reputation even more than Ye Zixun's family, who were in business. Mu Jiangfeng's mother would never allow someone with such a background to marry into their family.
After thinking it over, Lan Baobao felt that it was unlikely for her and Mu Jiangfeng to be together. He should be clearer about this than anyone else.
Thus, she always believed that having feelings was one thing, but whether they would end up together was another matter entirely.
After hanging up the phone, Lan Baobao let out a deep sigh, feeling as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders, yet she still sensed an inexplicable pressure lingering.
The key to the backyard gate had been easily stolen by Mu Mu from Grandpa Ye's room when Jin Bai was around. She had someone make an identical copy and then returned the original key.
Now it seemed everything was ready; they just needed the right timing.
When Lan Baobao returned to her room, Ruo Ruo was already lying on her bed, nearly asleep, while Mu Mu's eyes were glued to the game screen in front of her, skillfully operating the controls without showing any signs of fatigue.
No wonder Mu Mu could eavesdrop on her conversation with Ye Zixun; it turned out this girl was a night owl.
"It's already so late; aren't you going to sleep yet, Mu Mu?" Lan Baobao asked with a smile as she walked over and gently patted Mu Mu's head.
"Yeah, I'm used to it. I'm waiting for you." Mu Mu stared at the computer screen, asking with an unwavering gaze, as if it were a matter of course.
"What are you waiting for Mommy for?" Lan Baobao asked while tidying up the bed, seemingly a bit touched. Could it be that this child has developed a conscience and knows to treat me better?
That seems unlikely...
"Don't worry, I'm not waiting for you because I can't bear to see you go. I'm just afraid you'll make too much noise and wake me up.
After all, I know what my Mommy is like; I'm just worried you'll mess things up!" Mu Mu bluntly interrupted Lan Baobao's pleasant fantasy.
"You really are something. If you don't bring me down a notch, you can't be at ease. I give up on you."
Lan Baobao was thoroughly discouraged, but her mood improved quite a bit. She just patted the other’s chubby bottom and said, "Hurry up and go to sleep, my ancestor. Do you remember? Children shouldn't stay up late."
Fortunately, Mu Mu was relatively obedient. After hearing Lan Baobao's words, he obediently put down the game controller and lay straight on the bed.
Tonight he was destined not to sleep, but in order to let Lan Baobao feel at ease, Brother Mu still obediently got into bed.
