"Ye Zixun, take me to that apartment. I don't want to go back to the Ye Family."
"Lan Baobao, what are you saying? You’re not going back to the Ye Family?" Ye Zixun raised an eyebrow. This woman was actually blaming everything on herself and on the child for the betrayal of a friend.
"Why do we always have to ruin our lives for these unrelated people? Do you really think that those who hurt you are more important than your child and family?"
Lan Baobao turned her face away and glanced at him, not wanting to argue. She just felt so tired and had a terrible headache. All she needed was a place, a place that belonged to her, to heal.
"Ye Zixun, don’t argue with me. Take me back; I just want to rest properly. Consider it my plea—take me back and let me be alone for a while. I want peace; I want to rest!"
Her calm demeanor made it impossible for Ye Zixun to continue the argument. Although he was reluctant to let Lan Baobao go again, he could only endure it for the sake of the child in her womb.
Damn it, he really wished her brain would suddenly clear up after hitting the door.
Ye Zixun thought through gritted teeth.
In the next moment, Ye Zixun started the engine and drove toward her apartment.
Lan Baobao finally sighed in relief and lay back down on the sofa.
However, while lying on the sofa, she didn’t truly fall asleep.
She remembered seeing Mo Mo at the police station and recalled what Mo Mo had said to her.
Moreover… she remembered Ye Zixun's cruelty even more.
Ye Zixun had hurt those women who once deeply loved him time and again. Why could he be so cruel? Why did he leave no room for them at all?
Yet every word he said was true.
She could blame those closest to her, but she couldn’t blame those who hurt her, let alone punish them.
"Lan Baobao, what kind of man have you fallen in love with? You are so far apart from him. You know deep down that Ye Zixun is right, but you can never get used to his ways. Lan Baobao, you are an idiot; you are the biggest idiot in the world!"
She turned over and lay on the sofa, her gaze fixed on the crystal chandelier above the living room, suddenly feeling lost and afraid.
But all that responded to her was the eerily silent air; nothing else was there.
Then came her helpless sigh...
“Daddy is a bad person, Daddy is a bad person.” Ruo Ruo suddenly ran into the living room, stretching out her hands to hit and pound Ye Zixun.
Ye Zixun looked in shock at his daughter who had appeared in the living room, as well as his son who was slowly walking up to him.
Damn it!
Why hadn’t the servants taken good care of them? How could they let them run around?
“Ruo Ruo, listen to Daddy.”
Ye Zixun initially wanted to explain to his daughter, but she wouldn’t listen to any explanation and kept throwing a tantrum.
He had no choice but to grip his daughter's arms tightly and look at her. “Ruo Ruo, are you being disobedient? You don’t want to listen to Daddy’s words anymore?”
“Daddy is a bad person, Ruo Ruo doesn’t want to listen, doesn’t want to listen.” She even covered her ears with her hands. “Daddy made Mommy angry and left, Ruo Ruo won’t pay attention to you anymore, won’t pay attention to you anymore.”
“Daddy, Ruo Ruo and I are on the same side; I won’t pay attention to you either.” Brother Mu stepped forward, clearly showing his stance.
Ye Zixun felt a headache coming on from this pair of precious children. The issue with Lan Baobao hadn’t been resolved yet, and now it was their turn...
“Ruo Ruo!” He suddenly lost his temper. “If you keep being disobedient, not only will Mommy not want you, but Daddy will also not want you. Do you believe it?”
Ruo Ruo rarely faced such a shout from Ye Zixun. After being yelled at, she couldn’t help but burst into tears.
“Daddy doesn’t want Ruo Ruo anymore, Daddy doesn’t want Ruo Ruo anymore.”
“Ruo Ruo be good; Brother wants Ruo Ruo, Brother wants Ruo Ruo.” The two children hugged each other tightly, leaning on one another.
Ye Zixun was truly at his wit's end with his children; their commotion was making his mood worse and worse.
At that moment, Grandpa Ye, who had been in the study, heard his grandson's cries and hurried downstairs.
"What’s going on?" His thunderous voice echoed in the living room.
As soon as Ruo Ruo heard her grandfather's voice, she ran to him and hugged his legs, crying even more loudly.
"Daddy doesn’t want Ruo Ruo anymore, Daddy doesn’t want Ruo Ruo anymore."
"What?" Grandpa Ye suddenly looked up at his son, who seemed completely out of control. "Zi Xun, what on earth have you done to them? Why are they like this?"
"Grandpa, it’s not like that..." Ye Zixun didn’t know how to explain the situation to his father. He sighed and immediately shouted for the servants. "Come here, take them upstairs."
The servants quickly rushed over. Seeing the situation, they could only take the two children upstairs to avoid getting caught in the chaos themselves.
When only the two of them were left in the living room, Grandpa Ye furrowed his aged brow again. "What exactly happened? Why did only you come back? Weren't you supposed to come back with Bao Bao? Where is she?"
"She didn’t want to come back."
"What did you do?" Grandpa Ye angrily sat down on the sofa, waiting for his son's explanation.
Ye Zixun's gaze darkened as he recounted everything to his father.
Ye Zixun didn’t think he had done anything wrong; it was just that Lan Bao Bao still couldn’t let go of their years of feelings.
Grandpa Ye's eyes trembled slightly; no wonder Bao Bao was angry.
Perhaps she was just afraid of her son's methods!
Thinking this, Grandpa Ye couldn't help but shake his head.
Seeing his father's reaction, Ye Zixun couldn't help but frown and said, "Grandpa, do you disagree with what I did?"
"This matter was not your fault; everything was done by legitimate means, and it was just about Yan Momo. However, last time with Mu Yao'er, you acted without thinking, which made that girl afraid of you. This time, she is terrified of you again..." Grandpa Ye could only shake his head helplessly.
Terrified?
Ye Zixun suddenly realized that it was his methods that had made her feel cold and fearful.
"Then, Grandpa, I should..."
"Enough." Grandpa Ye raised his hand, fully aware of what his son wanted to say. "Let her be quiet for a while."
Grandpa Ye set aside that matter for now and turned to the children. "Zi Xun, the two children no longer have their mother's love. Do you want them to develop negative feelings?"
"I know, it's just that I felt very annoyed when I heard them arguing just now."
"Even if you feel annoyed, you can't take it out on the two children. You need to go up and comfort them right away."
Ye Zixun sighed heavily in his heart and then stood up to head towards the second floor.
His father's words were correct; the two children were innocent and should not be affected by him.
Grandpa Ye watched his son's back as he went upstairs and sighed helplessly.
These two children had no idea how long this path would be before they could live together in peace...
After a while, he arrived at the hospital room where Pan Zixin was staying.
Now Pan Zixin was still lying in bed, seemingly unable to move.
For some reason, all the past betrayals and hurts seemed unimportant now when he saw Pan Zixin.
"Pan Zixin," he called her name.
Upon seeing him, Pan Zixin was shocked at first, then filled with disgust. How could this woman appear here? If it weren't for her, would Ye Zixun have gone crazy trying to deal with her? Now she even had the face to stand in front of her.
"Get lost!"
Pan Zixin grabbed the pillow from under her head and threw it hard at Lan Baobao.
Lan Baobao didn't dodge at all, allowing the pillow to land on her face.
This was all because of herself; she had no right to avoid it.
"Pan Zixin, go ahead and curse me!" After seeing the pillow fall to the ground, Lan Baobao walked to the bedside, looking at Pan Zixin with a face full of guilt.
Pan Zixin, however, glared at Lan Baobao with a cold smile. Did she really think that this would make her believe her?
"Lan Baobao, did you come here to watch me make a fool of myself? Are you satisfied with how I am now? Are you happy?"
"Pan Zixin, why are you doing this? I never meant it that way. Our issues are in the past; I don't want anything back." Right now, all she felt was guilt.
Pan Zixin shook her head. Would she believe her words after seeing herself like this?
"Lan Baobao, do you think your pitiful confession is worth anything? You made me like this; do you think an apology will make me forgive you?"
"I didn't expect Ye Zixun to treat you this way and make you end up like this. I..." Gu Feng had told herself that it was all planned by Ye Zixun that led Gu Feng to be lying in bed now.
Pan Zixin's smile deepened, as if mocking herself. "Lan Baobao, actually, meeting me isn't scary. But the man you truly love isn't me; it's your current husband, Ye Zixun. He is too cold and too cruel; he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. I really want to know what he would do to you if he stops loving you in the future."
Suddenly, Lan Baobao's face turned pale.
What would Ye Zixun do to her when he no longer loved her?
In fact, she had been pondering this question all night.
He could go out and do so many hurtful things for her sake; what would happen if he fell in love with someone else? How would he hurt her without hesitation then?
"What’s wrong? Lan Baobao, are you too scared to speak?" Pan Zixin sneered. It seemed that even she was questioning her feelings for Ye Zixun. "Aren't you afraid that Ye Zixun will treat you like this?"
"Enough!" Lan Baobao suddenly shouted, and the next moment, her emotions cooled down, leaving her feeling deeply guilty. "I'm sorry, I just..."
At that moment, Lan Baobao suddenly lost her balance and nearly fell.
But at that time, a force from behind supported Lan Baobao.
She turned around to see Ye Zixun and Gu Feng.
They rushed into the hospital at the same time, and at that moment, Ye Zixun was holding her.
"Bao Bao, are you okay? Do you want to see a doctor to check if there's any risk to the pregnancy?" Ye Zixun asked nervously.
Lan Baobao locked eyes with Ye Zixun, her gaze trembling for a moment before she pushed him away.
"I'm fine."
"It seems your relationship isn't that great," Pan Zixin, lying on the bed, thought to herself as she watched the scene unfold. Although she had fallen to this state, Ye Zixun wasn't doing any better. She knew Lan Baobao too well; Lan Baobao wouldn't want to be with someone so cold and heartless.
