Lan Baobao's mind had already sketched countless scenes and heart-wrenching cries in just a few minutes.
But the truth proved that all her imaginations were merely fantasies.
"Ye Ziru! Mommy is back!"
Lan Baobao rushed into the room, arms wide open, ready to give Ye Ziru a big hug.
However, Ye Ziru only glanced at her and calmly said, "Mommy is back?! Mommy, wait a moment, I’ll finish this round first and then come to hug you!"
Lan Baobao twitched her lips.
How could there be a horse in Ye Ziru's room...
"This..."
The horse was about a meter tall, with shiny brown fur and a light yellow mane that looked slightly mismatched but exuded a faint noble aura.
Its limbs were strong, and its hooves seemed powerful; it was clear that it was a very noble and healthy horse.
But...
How did this horse end up in Ye Ziru's room?
"Ye Zixun... can you explain why this horse is in my daughter's room?"
"It's simple!" Ye Zixun replied nonchalantly. "After you left, these two little ones got bored. They’ve already exhausted all the games at home; the dance mat and online games no longer attract them.
Ye Ziru kept complaining about being bored, and Brother Mu did too.
I was afraid they would encounter some problems again, so I temporarily didn’t let them go to kindergarten. Brother Mu, this pup, has a big issue with not being able to play with his classmates!"
"I am not asking about that!" Lan Baobao turned around and glared at him.
"Brother Mu goes to school, not to bully classmates, okay?"
He went to school to scavenge snacks from those kids and bring them back to honor his hardworking and diligent mother.
Where can you find such a good son!
Lan Baobao glared at Ye Zixun and said, "I am asking, how can there be a horse in this room!"
"I am here!" Ye Zixun looked very innocent. Lan Baobao's temperament was really anxious. He leisurely explained, "It's just that the two kids can't go to school to bully others, and when they go out, they don't know what to play. At home, they've already completed all the online games, so they feel very bored.
Coincidentally, our Thunder, two weeks ago, gave birth to two horses. One is black, and the other is this brown one.
The black one, we named it Leopard; its personality is quite irritable and anxious, a very hot-tempered child.
This brown one, we named it Cloud; its personality is relatively gentle, naturally quiet, and seems to really like children.
Just right, Ye Ziru and Brother Mu both really like it, so we brought it home as a pet for the two kids!"
A horse as a pet for five or six-year-old children...?
Lan Baobao still couldn't grasp this concept.
According to common sense, shouldn't they buy a dog as a pet for the children? If not a dog, then at least a cat, a bird, or goldfish—how did it turn into a horse in their family...?
Lan Baobao frowned and said, "No matter what, it's still a horse that's about one meter tall. Isn't that dangerous?"
"Don't worry. Purebred horses are inherently noble; in terms of bloodline, they don't have as many flaws as ordinary wild horses."
...How nice, while other people's pets are cats and dogs, their child has a purebred horse as a pet. This is clearly meant to make others feel envious and jealous.
"But..." Lan Baobao looked anxiously at the horse. Their mother, Thunder, was a very fierce horse. If the genes didn't mutate, it should also be very strong, right?
Lan Baobao still felt uneasy and said, "But this doesn't seem very good. After all, it's a horse, and the child is still too young; it might not be safe."
"That's why there's a Rider beside it. Didn't you see the man taking care of the horse?"
Ye Zixun raised an eyebrow and looked at Lan Baobao with curiosity.
Seeing her expression, Ye Zixun realized that she really hadn't noticed the man next to the horse.
The tall man with blonde hair and blue eyes was dressed in casual clothes, wearing a specialized hat for spying. Next to him were many tools for training and feeding horses.
When Lan Baobao entered earlier, she only noticed Ye Ziru and the horse beneath her; she completely overlooked the handsome guy who was about six feet tall.
"You..." Just as Lan Baobao was about to greet him, she suddenly realized that he was a foreigner. Should she speak in English now?
"Don't be nervous; Kailor speaks Mandarin," Ye Zixun knew what Lan Baobao was thinking.
She also knew that her Mandarin was quite poor.
Expecting her to speak standard English was simply a dream.
Kailor approached with the demeanor of a British gentleman, kissed the back of Lan Baobao's hand, and said, "Hello, Young Mistress. I am your child's trainer. My name is Kailor!"
Oh my gosh, such standard Mandarin!
Lan Baobao's face instantly turned bright red.
"Damn it, the British handsome guy's Mandarin is so good, but her English is terrible. Just now, she almost didn't know how to greet him."
She smiled awkwardly and said, "Hello!"
"How about that? Pretty impressive, right?" Ye Zixun showed a proud smile.
This Rider was initially invited to entertain Ye Ziru because he was so handsome, thinking that Ye Ziru would like him.
Since Ye Ziru is the child of Lan Baobao, the two should have some similarities, such as... being lecherous!
As soon as Lan Baobao saw this blond-haired, blue-eyed handsome guy, she immediately felt flustered.
Ye Zixun said, "You take Ye Ziru downstairs for a walk first. We'll come down to find you in a bit!"
"Okay, Mr. Ye!" He turned around and flashed a gentlemanly smile. "Princess, let's go downstairs for a walk!"
"Sure!"
Ye Ziru's round eyes were completely fixated on the blond-haired, blue-eyed handsome guy, automatically ignoring everything else.
As she passed by Lan Baobao, her gaze never shifted from the handsome guy to Lan Baobao.
Lan Baobao suddenly felt very disappointed.
After such a long time without seeing each other, she was overshadowed by a newly appeared handsome guy. Where was her dignity?!
"How about that? The person I hired is not bad, right? Ever since I hired that Beast Tamer, my life has become much easier, and Ye Ziru's life has become much richer. She's always smiling now!"
Ye Zixun was smug, but Lan Baobao shot him a fierce glare. "What do you mean not bad? You're completely leading the child astray! At Ye Ziru's age, how can you use seduction to confuse her? This will give her a distorted worldview."
A Bad Worldview? Ye Zixun's Dictionary
A worldview is just a bunch of nonsense. Since it's purely nonsense, there is naturally no distinction between good and bad.
He casually said, "What do you mean by your bad worldview?"
"For example... for example..." She thought for a moment and said, "For instance, you must have hired him because he looks handsome. Ye Ziru will think that only good-looking people can get more opportunities and won't have to work as hard as those who aren't as good-looking."
Ye Zixun nodded seriously, "That's true! What's the problem?"
"Huh?" Lan Baobao was taken aback. After thinking carefully, it seemed that this society really was like that.
No matter where you go, at any stage, even if it's just slightly less, good-looking people tend to be more valued.
Ye Zixun wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear, "Alright, it's just a Beast Tamer. What's most important is that Ye Ziru likes him.
As long as she likes him, it doesn't have to be a Beast Tamer; I could find her a male model too!"
"Absolutely not! I don't want my daughter to grow up to be a seductress! And let go of your hand."
Ye Zixun disinterestedly removed his hand from her waist.
He had thought the atmosphere was nice and that he might take advantage of her a little, but it seemed it was all an illusion.
Lan Baobao looked around the room and pouted, "So much horse hair! Ye Zixun, can you even be a dad? This room is too dirty; this hair can easily get into Ye Ziru's lungs. Why don't you clean up?"
As soon as Lan Baobao returned, she acted like a hostess, constantly questioning Ye Zixun.
He didn't feel upset at all; instead, he felt very happy at that moment.
He smiled and said, "Ye Ziru likes to stick to that horse. Cleaning up would be pointless; I'll still have to do it at night. If I mess up, I can just vacuum everything at night. And..."
Ye Zixun innocently said, "When you were single, you didn't clean properly either. Not cleaning means you're an unqualified parent?"
Lan Baobao's face turned red, and she shyly turned her head away.
When she was single, cleaning was not something she excelled at, so it was often Brother Mu who did it, with Ye Ziru helping out.
Basically, all the household chores were taken care of by these two kids.
If the relevant authorities found out, they might accuse her of child neglect, but it wasn't her fault; those two kids were just so reliable!
Lan Baobao was left speechless by Ye Zixun's comment.
"Alright, I won't argue with you, but the room is too cramped for the horse to move around. What if the horse trips and Ye Ziru falls off? You can ride the horse, but not in the room; go ride it in the garden downstairs!"
"Got it, I'll do as you say."
Lan Baobao didn't argue with Ye Zixun, but as long as Ye Ziru liked it and it was safe, there was no problem.
That horse looked a bit silly and not very fierce; Ye Ziru riding on its back should be very safe.
Lan Baobao completely overlooked her daughter and naturally turned her attention to her son.
However, when she walked to Brother Mu's bedside, she didn't see him. She searched the entire room and even checked the bathtub in the bathroom, but still found no trace of Brother Mu.
