"Hey, Li Xiaoran, I'm warning you, don't be impulsive. If you get Ye Zixun thrown into the detention center, I won't let this go," Lan Baobao was still incredibly concerned about Ye Zixun, a fact she could never deny.
Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance that Ye Zixun would end up in the detention center, Lan Baobao absolutely could not risk it!
"This won't do, that can't happen. So, what do you want to do, Baby Baobao? Is it about Ye Zixun? I wonder who's being bullied by him now," Li Xiaoran said helplessly.
"It's me, I'm the one being bullied by Ye Zixun, but... there's no problem right now, so let's put this matter aside for now and see how things develop," Lan Baobao replied. In truth, she had no idea what to do either, but being stuck at home lately had given her a chance to think things through.
So much had happened to her recently that her mind was still in a chaotic state; it was time to find an opportunity to sort things out.
But... with her brain like this, could she really organize her thoughts clearly? Lan Baobao expressed her doubts!
After chatting with Li Xiaoran for a bit longer, Lan Baobao suddenly felt tired. Even though she hadn't done anything, her spirits seemed to have been low lately, and she found herself wanting to sleep all the time. Could it be that her brain was sluggish?
"Xiao Xiao, I'm a bit tired. Can I go to sleep?"
"You really are such a pig! Fine, I won't bother with you anymore. Go ahead and sleep!"
After hanging up the phone, Lan Baobao leaned against the bed, her eyelids heavy as they drooped down, and she gradually fell asleep. By evening, Mumu and Ruo Ruo were banging on the door desperately trying to wake her up.
At first, Lan Baobao had no energy and lay sprawled on the bed in a disheveled state.
Even her makeup looked greasy.
Ruo Ruo couldn't bear to look at it any longer; Mommy's sleeping appearance was truly something else. It must be tough for Daddy to sleep next to such a woman at night!
Ruo Ruo secretly took Lan Baobao's foundation and climbed onto her bed, carefully touching up her makeup. Then she gave Lan Baobao's face a good makeover.
If Lan Baobao woke up now and realized that the makeup on her face was done by Ruo Ruo, she would definitely be furious!
Even a child can do makeup better than her, it's truly unbelievable!
After fixing the makeup, Ruo Ruo waved at Brother Mu. Brother Mu leaned over the bed and examined her closely: "Hmm, not bad! Much more presentable than how Mommy looked earlier."
"Daddy should sign Mommy up for a makeup course; otherwise, letting her do her own makeup when going out is just too embarrassing. It’s a bit of a disgrace for us."
"I think that old man Ye Zixun wouldn’t let Mommy go out looking foolish."
"Brother, I'm hungry!" Ruo Ruo looked at Brother Mu with a pitiful expression.
Brother Mu was also hungry. Waking up Lan Baobao was always a difficult task, especially when there were less than three alarms set; trying to wake her up was almost impossible.
However, fortunately, Lan Baobao's body had been developed quite well by Ye Zixun.
Let’s allow Brother Mu to be a little mischievous this time!
He told Ruo Ruo to close her eyes, then lay beside Lan Baobao, his hands playfully grabbing her chest.
Ah, does this size really have enough milk for twins? It seems like the capacity is definitely not enough!
"Ah!"
Lan Baobao suddenly jumped up from the bed, covering her chest with both hands.
Just now in her dream, she actually dreamed of a pair of giant pincers trying to pinch off her chest. What a terrifying nightmare...
It’s strange. Clearly, I was dreaming, so why do I still feel pain?
Could it be that dreaming created an illusion that affected my body's nerves, causing me to feel pain?
Lan Baobao rubbed her chest and confirmed with both hands that her chest was still there before she let out a sigh of relief.
She didn’t expect the two children to rush into her room. At this moment, all her expressions were reflected in the eyes of the two babies.
Brother Mu and Ruo Ruo both had the same thought in their minds: Is Mommy okay?
“Mommy, Mommy wake up, it’s time to eat!” Ruo Ruo shouted at Lan Baobao.
Lan Baobao was momentarily stunned and turned to see Ruo Ruo staring at her with wide eyes.
Hmm...
This doesn’t seem like a moment worth being admired by others...
Her hands were still holding onto her own roundness; this appearance seemed a bit too avant-garde for the children!
“You... how did you two get here? The weather is really nice today, isn’t it?” She smiled awkwardly, trying to ease the current atmosphere with her clumsy words.
Brother Mu gently sighed and said, “Mommy, it’s already six-thirty in the afternoon. It will soon be seven o’clock, which is our family’s dinner time! Mommy, Great-Grandfather is already waiting downstairs; you’re going to be late!”
She actually slept for seven hours!
She must be the reincarnation of the sleep god!
Fortunately, there wasn't anything important to do; otherwise, it would have been a disaster!
"I understand, I'll go down right away. You all go ahead."
Lan Baobao really didn't want to face the gazes of the two kids; it was quite embarrassing...
"Okay, we'll wait for you downstairs!"
Brother Mu took Ruo Ruo's hand and walked out the door, not forgetting to turn back and show a strange smile.
That smile was nothing but blatant disdain and contempt!
Lan Baobao immediately got up, tidied herself up a bit, and then went down to join everyone for dinner.
Tonight was particularly harmonious. The old man seemed completely unaware of anything, and Lan Baobao didn't say much either. As usual, they finished the meal in a peaceful manner.
After the family finished dinner, Lan Baobao took care of Mumu and Ruo Ruo until they fell asleep. Then, she collapsed onto her bed and fell into a deep sleep.
People tend to be especially sleepy when they're feeling low, and Lan Baobao believed she was in such a state right now.
She might sleep for fifteen or sixteen hours, which meant she would only be awake for about seven or eight hours.
Working people usually get at most seven or eight hours of sleep, while she was just the opposite. If those white-collar workers knew about this, they would definitely resent her!
Oh well, there's nothing to be done; who told her that her life was so leisurely? If she didn't sleep, what else could she do?
Once again waking up naturally, it was already past one in the morning.
In the deep of night, the entire Ye Family's old mansion had only one or two rooms still lit—the kitchen and the room used by the security personnel on duty.
The other rooms were all dark, including Ye Zixun's bedroom and study.
Today, Ye Zixun had not returned again; it had been three consecutive days since he last came home. He only occasionally made a couple of phone calls to check in. Was he hiding from her?
He dared to act but was afraid to face her?
Lan Baobao truly did not understand what Ye Zixun was thinking!
However, after getting some sleep, she felt a bit better. She opened the window to let in some fresh air, which slightly improved her mood.
Although she was currently grounded by Ye Zixun and unable to go out, in order to keep her spirits up and not let Grandpa Ye and the two children see through her facade, she still dressed herself beautifully, believing that she looked pleasing to the eye.
Indeed, she thought so…
Just as Lan Baobao was daydreaming, feeling proud of her good makeup skills, her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a number she hadn't contacted in a long time. It had been ages since she last spoke with Mu Jiangfeng; he must think of her as someone who had been used and discarded—an irresponsible woman.
Lan Baobao felt helpless; she had indeed been overwhelmed lately and had forgotten about Mu Jiangfeng.
"Hello, Mu Jiangfeng. How have you been? It's been a while since we last met. Are you doing well?" Lan Baobao answered the phone, her expression somewhat listless. She had almost given up hope of going back to work; now she couldn't even step out of the house, let alone discuss any job opportunities.
Thus, her way of addressing Mu Jiangfeng no longer sounded formal.
Moreover, she knew a little about Mu Jiangfeng's feelings, so she didn't want to make their relationship too stiff nor too intimate.
Maintaining some distance was the way to go!
"Baby, how have you been? I haven't seen you around lately. Have you forgotten about me, your friend, because you're so happy being newly married? Can you really forget your friends just because you have a husband?"
Mu Jiangfeng's tone was quite relaxed; he naturally didn't understand Lan Baobao's current situation. If he did, he wouldn't be so calm.
Lan Baobao didn't want Mu Jiangfeng to know.
"Former boss, I haven't worked for you in such a long time. Why would I expect you to pay me? Besides, isn't 'forgetting loyalty for love' something invented by men like you?
I'm just borrowing it for a bit; what's the big deal?" Lan Baobao replied. To her now, salary and all that were just illusions.
Friends were also just illusions!
She could imagine what it would be like if Mu Jiangfeng and Ye Zixun clashed.
"You really have forgotten your friends now that you have a husband. I'm very sad! How about this: if you help me with one more thing, I'll be sure to thank you properly. I'll even pay you so you can experience the feeling of getting a paycheck again.
Although you're already Madam Ye and probably don't care about this little money, just think of it as helping an old friend, okay?"
Mu Jiangfeng knew that Lan Baobao was Ye Zixun's wife. With the wealth of the Ye Family, how could this Lady Ye care about such a small salary? The only reason Mu Jiangfeng said this was that he wanted to find an opportunity to meet with Lan Baobao.
