Lan Baobao lay comfortably on the large bed after taking a hot bath.
This bed was once hers, and this room had been her temporary sleeping space.
Everything in the room was exactly the same as before, with no differences at all.
The sheets still carried the scent of the incense she used to enjoy.
It felt as if nothing had changed, and Lan Baobao truly wished that everything could remain this way. Unfortunately, she couldn't deceive herself.
She just wanted to have one peaceful night, to forget all the unpleasant things.
When she woke up again, she would definitely keep an absolute distance from Ye Zixun!
Lan Baobao secretly made up her mind, turned over, and hugged a large body pillow shaped like an arm, completely unaware that the man outside the door waited until she fell asleep before leaving.
After seeing that Lan Baobao was asleep, Ye Zixun took a detour to the third floor to check on the two children.
Ye Ziru, along with Brother Mu, Gu Feng, and Li Xiaoran, seemed to be having a great time playing together. It appeared they hadn't finished enjoying themselves during dinner.
Ye Zixun glanced at the time; it was just past nine in the evening. It was still early, so he decided to let them stay a little longer. After all, it was rare for the family to be so lively, even Gu Feng could stay a bit more.
Returning to his own room, Ye Zixun welcomed back his wife but couldn't embrace her. Sleeping alone at night truly made him feel a bit overwhelmed.
However, seeing Lan Baobao smile so much today was somewhat satisfying.
Ye Zixun opened his eyes, muttering about the flower board, and slowly sketched the appearance of Lan Baobao in his mind.
He didn't know how much time had passed when suddenly someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me! Gu Feng. Zi Xun, you're not asleep yet, can I come in?"
Could he say no?
Ye Zixun glanced at his watch and realized it was already eleven o'clock at night.
He had been staring blankly in bed for over an hour. Damn it, when did he become so oblivious to time?
Ye Zixun said, "Come in, the door isn't locked!"
Gu Feng grasped the doorknob and pushed the door open. He saw Ye Zixun still wearing the clothes he had on during dinner and frowned slightly, saying, "You're lying in bed in your outer clothes?"
"Yeah, is there a problem with that?"
The bed was his, the clothes were his; he could do whatever he wanted. Did Gu Feng have any right to interfere?
Ye Zixun lay back down, stretching out comfortably in a starfish position, lazily asking, "Is Ye Ziru asleep?"
"Yes, she has already fallen asleep."
Gu Feng was relatively polite, moving a chair and sitting at the head of the bed.
"Ye Ziru must have worn you out; why are you here instead of sleeping? I'm not a woman, and I have no interest in your face. My own face is already hot and charming enough without needing to look at you!"
"When will you ever learn to stop being so sharp-tongued?"
"That will never change. Why are you here in my room instead of resting? Is there something you need?" Ye Zixun turned his head slightly to look at Gu Feng.
Gu Feng shrugged, "Actually, I don't really know why I came to find you. I just couldn't sleep tonight, and I thought you might be awake too!"
"So you came to find me?" Ye Zixun suddenly got up from the bed and walked over to the bar.
This was one of the essentials in his room and office.
He took out a bottle of liquor from the cabinet and asked, "Still want two ice cubes?"
"Yes, still two!"
Ye Zixun took two ice cubes from the freezer and dropped them into a thick glass. The sound of the glass clinking against the ice was particularly pleasant.
After shaking the glass a couple of times, he poured in two-thirds of the liquor.
He also had two-thirds for himself, but his drink was neat, without any ice.
"Here’s yours. Do you want some snacks to go with it?"
"We're not drinking white wine, so we don't need any snacks, right?" Gu Feng crossed his legs, and Ye Zixun nestled into the sofa beside him.
"Tonight, I saw you having a great time with Ye Ziru and the others. You really are suited to be a playmate, and also to be a dad. Have you thought about having your own child?"
"I'm afraid one child wouldn't be enough to liven up the house. If I could have more kids like you all do, maybe it would be more lively."
"Then why not hurry up and find a decent woman? Having children is actually a good choice," Ye Zixun said with a smile.
Gu Feng did have a bit of a desire for a family. When he saw Lan Baobao, there was that moment when he truly wanted to have a home.
However, right now, he was indeed a little scared.
"My child, if they inherit Ye Ziru's lecherousness and your son Brother Mu's intelligence, then I would be in trouble. Ye Zixun, have you thought about what would happen if the third child in the baby’s belly is a combination of those two?"
Ye Zixun hadn't considered this issue before, but now that he heard Gu Feng's words, he seriously thought about it.
This was indeed a very serious question.
He said, "Gu Feng, have you watched Crayon Shin-chan?"
"A couple of episodes, why?"
"I think if there really were a child that was a combination of Ye Ziru and Brother Mu, it would probably be an upgraded version of Crayon Shin-chan. I suggest you check it out when you get home; it's not bad!"
Grandpa is indeed grandpa; he knows all about these things. Truly impressive.
Gu Feng did not want to be noisy; he just wanted to live this kind of life.
Taking care of children was not in his plans for the time being.
Gu Feng smiled and said, "I haven't even settled on a woman who can be my wife, so how could I think about having children? I'm not like you, who can quickly decide who to have children with. I don't admire you in many things, but this one thing, I have to admire you a bit; it's not bad!"
"What's not bad? At that time, I just wanted a child; I never thought about who the child's mother would be. It wasn't until recently that I felt the child's mother must be Lan Baobao!" Ye Zixun had a smile at the corner of his mouth, unsure if it was for himself or for Gu Feng.
It sounded like a tender statement, but it also felt like he was declaring his ownership.
Gu Feng understood this and wouldn't compete with him.
As long as Lan Baobao could be safe and happy, he didn't care much about the rest.
Gu Feng remained as indifferent as ever and said, "Being able to solve this headache quickly like you is a good thing. Unlike me, who hesitates and can't even tell who can accompany me for the rest of my life."
"There's nothing to hesitate about."
"Of course there is! If I'm not careful and end up with someone like Mu Jiao'er, wouldn't I be extremely unlucky?!"
"That's true!"
Ye Zixun recalled Mu Jiao'er's face; she used to be radiant. Ye Zixun only cared about the comfort she brought him and never questioned anything else, which led Mu Jiao'er to become self-important, thinking she was more important than anything else and mistaking him as her possession.
It was truly laughable that she thought she could be the mistress of the Ye Family. What a joke!
He would foolishly marry a woman whose only skills are lying in bed, shopping, and seducing other men? It's a wonder his grandfather isn't furious.
Ye Zixun Just the thought of this woman not letting him have peace even in death ignites a fire in his heart.
He really wants to strangle this woman himself! Let her jump into the sea and drown; that would be too good for her!
Ye Zixun Calming himself down, he said, "Actually, I think Li Xiaoran would be quite suitable. She doesn't have a boyfriend, she's decent-looking, and her personality, while somewhat similar to a man's in certain aspects, does have feminine traits as well.
She has only been in one relationship and is still single now.
Sometimes her brain is on par with Lan Baobao, but most of the time, she seems more like a normal person and is more rational. However, in my view, they are pretty much the same; there's not much difference.
I think that woman should have some feelings for you. Why don't you two give it a try?"
Ye Zixun took a sip of his drink; it tasted quite good.
Not long ago, drinking made him feel terrible, but today, the rich flavor of the wine actually came through. It turns out that when you're in a good mood, everything goes smoothly.
Gu Feng, however, almost spat out his drink. Covering his mouth, he chuckled bitterly and said, "Hey, hey, hey! I'm not mocking you. Can you please go easy on me and not make fun of me?
Li Xiaoran is Lan Baobao's good friend; you should know that."
"Of course I know! This is common knowledge!"
"Then why are you joking? This joke isn't funny at all."
Ye Zixun smiled coldly; he was not joking.
During dinner, although Ye Zixun's attention was focused on the child and Lan Baobao, he did notice Li Xiaoran when the four of them were playing in the child's room.
Ye Zixun was all too familiar with the kind of light in Li Xiaoran's eyes when she looked at Gu Feng.
There was a time when Lan Baobao looked at him with that same expression, and recently, when he thought of Lan Baobao, he would see that same look in the mirror.
If Li Xiaoran had no interest in Gu Feng at all, he wouldn't believe it.
"Actually, Li Xiaoran is indeed a good woman. I believe she will make a very good wife, and she won't cheat on you or get involved with other men. She should be a choice that won't disappoint you."
"Are you implying that your Lan Baobao is cheating?"
Gu Feng was a bit angry. What did Ye Zixun think of Lan Baobao? Despite being surrounded by several quality men like him, her heart would not have remained with Ye Zixun for so long if it weren't for him.
