"Eh? Young Master, didn't Madam sleep with you last night? Why haven't I seen her come out? Is it that she doesn't want to have breakfast today?"
Only two children were seen, holding hands as they came out of the room, but the person who took care of the baby was nowhere to be found, which felt a bit strange. Aunt Li was holding the freshly made breakfast at the staircase.
Seeing the other party stop and look at her, Mumu tilted his head and emphasized, "Mommy stayed home feeling bored and wanted to go out to play. She left early this morning!"
Suddenly, it felt like her feet were glued to the ground, heavy as if weighed down by a thousand-year-old adhesive. Although she tried hard to remain calm, her face turned beet red, and her legs began to tremble uncontrollably. Whether Mumu's words were true or not, it scared the servant quite a bit.
Aunt Li was also stunned.
Left?
Or had she already left early this morning? How could that be possible?
Aunt Li laughed foolishly and said, "Young Master, don't joke with me. Madam was still playing cards with you in your room last night! How could she have left early this morning? Young Master, don't play tricks on us servants!"
"I'm not joking! If you don't believe me, I'll show you proof! Ruo Ruo!"
Ruo Ruo yawned and casually took out an electronic recorder.
She pressed the switch, and Lan Baobao's voice came through.
"You tricked me again!?"
"Alright, alright, I admit defeat!"
"Honestly, you two, if you don't drain me dry, you won't be satisfied, will you?"
"Uh-huh, I got it. You guys are so annoying; I'm going to sleep!"
"I've eaten too many snacks already; I can't eat anymore. You guys go ahead and eat!"
Ruo Ruo turned off the recorder and said lightly, "So, that's why you can hear Mommy's voice."
Ruo Ruo glanced at them sideways, giving a haughty look.
That gaze was saying: You bunch of fools!
"Recording, recording!"
"No way, it's actually a recording! Did Young Mistress leave?"
"It's over; now everything is ruined!"
Mu Mu looked at the others, appearing scared and trembling while trying hard to act calm. Inside, they were overjoyed. Who told you to bully Lan Baobao when she was at home? Thinking that her kindness could be fooled by those unreliable lies? Now you've finally gotten your comeuppance.
Now you can taste what it's like to be played!
"Mommy has already left; you don't need to monitor her anymore. With one less task, everyone can relax, right?"
"Oh, so she left early yesterday morning! My granddaughter-in-law is quite something, leaving without a word!" Grandpa Ye laughed heartily, "Haha, I was wondering about your strange behavior yesterday, turns out it was like this! Not bad, not bad, it has my style! You all coordinated very well!"
Grandpa Ye appeared unfazed and even seemed quite happy!
He never wanted Lan Baobao to stay cooped up at home without going anywhere.
Although he didn't know everything that Ye Zixun was doing, he knew a little bit.
He was worried that if this girl continued like this, she would eventually get sick from being pent up. Plus, he didn't know how the previous issue of her wanting to divorce Ye Zixun was resolved. Now that she was going out to have some fun, her mood might improve, and things could be resolved more easily.
Fortunately, Grandpa Ye didn't know that Lan Baobao had been locked up at home and not allowed to go out for the past few days. So at this moment, the servant dared not act too rashly for fear of revealing any flaws; otherwise, they would really be in trouble.
"This Lan Baobao, going out to play without telling me first, making everyone worry! Did you bring enough money with you?" Grandpa Ye pretended to be dissatisfied.
"Mommy was afraid that if she told Great-Grandfather, Great-Grandfather would give her money again, so she didn't dare. But please rest assured, Great-Grandfather; Mommy's brain isn't very good at handling things. I've already arranged everything for her! You don't need to worry about money!" Mumu explained while fiddling with her bowl of rice.
"This child..." Grandpa Ye shook his head helplessly upon hearing this but felt quite satisfied with his granddaughter-in-law.
Seeing that the servant was still standing there in a daze, he instructed, "Aunt Li, bring out breakfast. I'm hungry."
"This doesn't concern you; you can leave now."
Aunt Li nervously placed breakfast on the table.
The old man has already spoken.
As a servant, one naturally does not dare to say anything and can only retreat. The matter here cannot be disclosed to Ye Zixun for the time being. However, if they lose track of someone and Ye Zixun finds out, the consequences will be severe. All they can do now is try to keep it from Ye Zixun. If luck is on their side, by the time Lan Baobao has had enough fun and returns on her own, it will be as if nothing happened, especially since this fellow is usually not at home.
If luck is not on their side and Ye Zixun finds out, they will push the blame onto the old man.
It was the old man who tacitly allowed it, letting his wife go out to relax.
At this moment, everyone at the Ye Family Old Residence stood on the same front as Brother Mu and Ruo Ruo!
Mumu had naturally thought all of this through. With Lan Baobao going out to play in front of the old man, it not only provides a reasonable explanation for Lan Baobao's disappearance but also inadvertently brings allies together and gains helpers.
Even without Lan Baobao and Ye Zixun present, this meal was quite warm and pleasant.
Having successfully dealt with one hurdle, the next issue was how to handle Ye Zixun. Mumu did not have much contact with his father; even when they did interact, it was merely a battle of wits.
They had never truly coexisted harmoniously.
However, because of this, Brother Mu was very clear that the other party was a tough opponent.
Last night, without seeing Lan Baobao in person, Ye Zixun felt an unsettling pressure in his heart.
After dealing with Mu Jiao'er, he couldn't wait to drive home.
Meanwhile, in the room of the two kids, Ruo Ruo, with sleepy eyes, asked her busy brother Mu Mu, "Brother, is this really going to work? What if Dad comes in and finds out?"
Mu Mu confidently replied after placing the most important wig on the "Lan Baobao" he had made himself, "He definitely won't find out. Trust me."
Ruo Ruo nodded obediently, willing to believe in her good brother.
"Ruo Ruo, come here." Once he finished his task, Mu Mu waved to Ruo Ruo and said, "Come sleep. Remember to hug the blanket like Mommy so Ye Zixun won't notice anything unusual."
Ruo Ruo couldn't help but admire her brother's skills. However, hugging a wig-wearing blanket to sleep at night was quite a challenge for a five-year-old girl. Nevertheless, Ruo Ruo had always been an obedient child, especially when it came to listening to her brother.
Around eleven-thirty, Ye Zixun drove up to the Ye Family Villa as usual. His car lights always flashed uncomfortably bright.
Hearing the sound of Ye Zixun's car starting, Mu Mu immediately got busy in the living room.
"Click"...
The door was pushed open, and the sudden sound of the door breaking the previously peaceful harmony in the quiet living room.
At that moment, Ye Zixun saw Mu Mu happily playing in the living room and couldn't help but frown.
This kid seemed to be getting more reckless lately; he was still playing games in the living room at such a late hour and looked overly excited.
Lan Baobao actually let him stay up late tonight. This woman must have been cooped up at home for too long recently.
She doesn't even care about her own son!
Ye Zixun narrowed his eyes slightly.
He felt an impulse to go up and give this Stinky Kid a good beating!
“Pup! Pup!” Ye Zixun walked over to Mu Mu and called softly.
But Mumu seemed to completely ignore him, still lost in his own world, swaying his head and having a great time!
“Pup, can you not have a party in my living room so late at night?!” Ye Zixun helplessly repeated, casually taking off the headphones hanging from Mumu's ears.
He looked at Brother Mu's face with a sense of helplessness.
They really do look alike! If he were to hit him, Ye Zixun would feel like he was hitting himself.
He just couldn't bring himself to do it!
After Mumu had his headphones forcibly removed by Ye Zixun, he looked up at Ye Zixun with some dissatisfaction.
Then he shifted his gaze back to the computer screen, disdainfully saying, “Why are you back? It's still so early; what are you doing here?”
Brother Mu's tone was very cold, with a hint of disdain.
It seemed that Ye Zixun should not have appeared in the Ye Family at all.
Mu Mu's indifferent attitude immediately made Ye Zixun feel quite cold inside.
Although the two were originally meant to compete and bicker when they met, as his biological father, he should at least have thrown down the game controller and given him a warm hug after such a long time apart.
It shouldn't be this indifferent, as if he were just an uncle from next door.
Ye Zixun really didn't understand why this child was so close to Lan Baobao, yet treated him like an enemy.
Ye Zixun wanted to pry open Brother Mu's head to see what was going on inside.
In fact, Mu Mu was reluctant to put down the game controller; after all, it was a gift from Lan Baobao.
Moreover, Mu Mu would always stand unreasonably on Lan Baobao's side. After all, women generally needed more comfort, and Mu Mu had a deeper emotional connection with his mommy.
The moment he opened his eyes with that silly woman beside him, he saw her, and since then, they had never been apart.
