Ye Moxuan headed into the house after getting down from the car.
Just then, a small figure leaned against the door, looking at him with disdain. His words stopped Ye Moxuan cold.
“You are such a competent follower, Daddy. You had a meeting, but you skipped your meeting and insisted on following us.”
It was Little Bean who spoke.
Even though Little Bean had grown thin and tall, he was still way too short compared to Ye Moxuan. Little Bean was unsatisfied, and told himself that he must eat and exercise more, in order to tower over Ye Moxuan when he grew up.
Upon hearing those words, Ye Moxuan smiled coldly. He walked toward the little boy and reached out his hand, using his palm to hold down his head.
Irritated, Little Bean struggled to free himself from Ye Moxuan’s grip, but how could a young child overpower an adult?
Therefore, he could only let Ye Moxuan press down on him.
Seeing how Little Bean was trying his best to struggle free but still failed to escape, Ye Moxuan found the whole situation funny. “You can’t even free yourself from my palm. Yet you dare to talk to your daddy this way?” he teased.
Argh! This is so maddening!
Little Bean glared at Ye Moxuan furiously and suddenly screamed. “Mummy, look! Daddy is bullying me!”
After hearing him scream for his mother, Ye Moxuan pulled his hand back in a flash. His expression morphed back to his original look, a whole different person from that domineering man moments ago.
As Ye Moxuan pulled his hand back, Little Bean took the chance to run away.
When Ye Moxuan looked around and realized that Han Muzi wasn’t there at all, the little child in front of him had vanished.
What a sly little boy. Is he even my son? Aside from his looks, Little Bean is nothing like me. Besides, he’s too cunning for his age, even thinking of competing with me for a woman. I think it’s time to consider choosing a future wife for him and let him focus on his own woman instead of coming up with ways to snatch mine.
As Yan saw Ye Moxuan, she was thankful that her mother had reminded her. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough food for all of them this afternoon.
Even so, she was quite surprised. Muzi said Ye Moxuan had a meeting to attend, but he still came over. Such a clingy man.
As Yan looked around, all she saw was perfection; she was married to Han Qing, and they even had twins. Life couldn’t become any better.
After all, she had never imagined that she would be mixing with this group, much less become family.
Meanwhile, after entering the room, Little Bean sat next to Han Muzi, talking to her in a pitiful expression, while holding her arm the entire time. Just then, Ye Moxuan walked toward them with an unreadable expression. Before Little Bean could finish speaking, Ye Moxuan grabbed his collar and plunked him down in the next seat.
Just like that, Ye Moxuan took over Little Bean’s seat.
Seeing that, Yan didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
A thought popped into her mind. Will Han Qing be like Ye Moxuan after both of our sons grow up? Probably not. Han Qing is more reserved. Even though he became flirty after we got together, it isn’t in human nature to change.
If he did change, it wouldn’t be that much. Han Qing most probably won’t be like him.
Little Bean angrily crossed his arms as he was forced to change his seat, feeling so frustrated that he did not feel like talking. He planned to get even with Ye Moxuan later that night.
As for Han Muzi, it seemed like she was used to the ongoing battle between father and son. After all, it had become a daily occurence to see Ye Moxuan and Little Bean compete with each other. Hence, she chose to ignore Ye Moxuan’s earlier actions and turn a blind eye.
Han Muzi knew that it was only a matter of time before Little Bean got back at Ye Moxuan. The whole cycle would then start again, as the father and son compete with each other for her.
Sometimes, it’s not a good thing to be too intelligent.
Quietly embracing Little Sprout who was sitting in her lap, Han Muzi suddenly felt that her clueless daughter had a cute side as well.
As Han Qing came back from work, he saw a bunch of people in his home. The atmosphere was lively; his wife, children, sister, brother-in-law, and their children were all gathered here together.
“Welcome home, brother.”
“Uncle Qing!” Little Bean and Little Sprout greeted him.
Han Qing’s eyes turned gentle, and he responded, before meeting Ye Moxuan’s eyes.
Unlike women, men did not cling to each other while chatting away happily. Moreover, both Han Qing and Ye Moxuan tended to be aloof and cold. If it were anyone else, Ye Moxuan would choose to ignore them, but Han Qing was his brother-in-law, his wife’s brother in fact, hence the both of them greeted each other with a nod.
After taking his coat off, Han Qing washed his hands before sitting down beside Yan.
“Where’s mum?”
He felt it was a little strange as he did not see Luo Huimei anywhere. He remembered hearing her voice when he was on the phone with Yan just now.
Yan stood up to get some rice for Han Qing, but he grabbed the bowl and went to get it himself. After he came back, Yan explained, “There was a call from the shop, saying that something had come up. Mum was worried, so she didn’t stay for lunch. She also messaged me to say that she will have lunch at the shop today.”
“Alright.” Han Qing nodded and looked at Han Muzi, who was sitting opposite him. He noticed that she looked radiant, and it seemed like Ye Moxuan was taking good care of her. With that, he felt even more satisfied with Ye Moxuan.
“It seems like Moxuan is treating you pretty well, Muzi. Your complexion looks rather good.”
Hearing his words, Ye Moxuan arched his eyebrows, then pulled Han Muzi into his arms and whispered into her ear, “Did you hear that, my wife? Your brother said that I take good care of you.”
Han Muzi did not expect him to act like that in front of everybody. Even though everyone knew how close they were, she still felt a little awkward.
At that thought, she pushed him back while telling him softly, “Don’t act this way when we have company.”
Hearing that, Ye Moxuan leaned in and kissed her cheeks, “Okay, we’ll continue this when we’re back home.”
Han Muzi’s lips twitched. Why can’t he be more reserved?
However, Han Qing did not feel awkward. Instead, he was quite fond of Ye Moxuan.
After all, this was what Han Qing was looking for in his brother-in-law, a personality that was not afraid of others’ judgment. If he was scared and mindful about everything, his sister would be the one who ended up suffering.
It was actually good that Ye Moxuan was like that.
After lunch, Han Muzi wanted to spend some time playing with the twins, but was swept away by Ye Moxuan, leaving Little Bean there.
On their way home, Ye Moxuan looked at Han Muzi with a serious expression and said, “Do you think that our son has grown up?”
“Oh? Yeah, he did grow much taller this year.”
“It’s time we arrange for his betrothal.”
Hearing that, Han Muzi was dumbstruck and at a loss for words.
