“Be careful.”
After Little Bean exited the car, Ye Moxuan closed the door and naturally squatted down in front of him. “Do you want me to carry you inside?”
Little Bean took a step back and said to him seriously, “My mommy didn’t say that you’re my daddy, so I’ll walk by myself.” He immediately walked past Ye Moxuan after saying those words.
Looking at the little brat’s back, Ye Moxuan almost guessed his thoughts. The kid is still mad at me. Is he mad that I didn’t fulfill my responsibility as a father for the last five years? Is that why he is unwilling to call me Daddy? Or is he angry that I only brought him here tonight?
Ye Moxuan suddenly thought of Han Muzi’s aggrieved expression earlier. It was rare for her to talk to him in such a depressive voice today. Thinking of it now, I really feel sorry for her, but…
Ye Moxuan did not delve too deep into it, so he followed Little Bean.
Seabay Villa was a huge place. Little Bean’s silhouette was almost engulfed by the dark of the night as he walked at a fast pace. If not for his short legs, Ye Moxuan would not have been able to catch up to him.
“Mister, will you send me back home later?”
Ye Moxuan stopped and answered, “It’s too late now. I’ve already informed your mommy that you’ll be staying with me tonight.”
Little Bean stopped in his tracks and Ye Moxuan felt his breathing halted for a moment. Will he be upset about it?
Little Bean turned his head and glanced at Ye Moxuan seriously. “Mister, did my mommy really agree to this?”
In the night, after seeing the little brat’s damp eyes, which resembled the eyes of a serious little beast, Ye Moxuan felt the guilt inside him, so he did not dare to look him at the eye. Therefore, he avoided Little Bean’s gaze and smiled faintly. “Of course. How could I have brought you out if I didn’t have your mommy’s permission?”
Little Bean tilted his tiny head while poking his fingers together. “That’s true. Then Mister… I want to have a video call with my mommy, so can I borrow your phone?”
Ye Moxuan immediately agreed to Little Bean’s request to borrow his phone. “Of course you can.”
It was almost as casual as it could have been when Ye Moxuan handed his phone over to him, as if he was offering candy to the boy. Ye Moxuan’s heart skipped for joy when the little brat reached out to grab the phone with his tiny hands.
“Thank you, Mister.” Little Bean happily turned away and ran into the house.
What kind of feeling is this? It took him a long time to convince himself to accept that this kid was the child of Muzi’s ex-husband when he had been under the misconception. After he met with the child and realized that the kid was actually … of his own blood, he did not know how to react. He looks exactly like me, so whose blood does he have except for mine? He should have cried with joy about it. After all, was this not his own child? However, along with joy, there was more anger inside him. This is my own biological son and he has been hidden from me for a whole five years. Five years… How many five years does one even get in a lifetime?
Ye Moxuan stood in a daze as the memory of that woman pulling on his sleeve and pleading with him flashed through his mind. His heart ached in pain as she was also the same woman that he would give up his life to be with. If possible, I would like to hold her in my arms and love her with all of my soul. But I don’t know what to think now.
As he thought about it, Little Bean’s voice came from inside the house. “Mister, what is the pattern of your password?”
After he heard his voice, Ye Moxuan came around and replied to him, “It’s a Z.”
Little Bean drew a ‘Z’ on the phone and unlocked the phone. The desktop of Ye Moxuan’s phone was very neat since there were only a few work related and pre-installed apps; there were no apps for entertainment whatsoever.
He gave the phone a scan and helplessly sighed inside afterward. He really is a boring man. All he has in his phone is work. How did he live throughout the past five years? According to my investigation, he didn’t have any woman beside him during the last five years. If it wasn’t for him protecting his integrity, I would never let Mommy be with him again.
Little Bean clicked into his WeChat and saw that his mommy was at the top of his chat. He then found a comfy space on a sofa before curling up on it. Afterward, he started scrolling Ye Moxuan’s phone. He then realized that there were no other female contacts in his WeChat except for his mommy.
Hmph, good for him! Little Bean grunted inside and clicked into Han Muzi’s chat before sending her an invitation for a video call.
Han Muzi was quietly sitting in her room when she suddenly felt her phone vibrate. She lowered her head to see that Ye Moxuan had sent her an invitation for a video call.
Han Muzi was shocked as she couldn’t react to the situation. What is he trying to do by sending an invitation for a video call? Has he finally straightened things out? As she thought about it, she accepted the invitation. While connecting to the video, Han Muzi felt that her heart was accelerating at high speed.
Afterward, a frame slowly appeared on her phone screen and it looked like Ye Moxuan, only thing was… it wasn’t Ye Moxuan.
“Little Bean?”
“Mommy!” As soon as he saw Han Muzi, a silly smile instantly appeared on his face. “Do you miss me?”
Do I miss him? Sigh… Han Muzi looked at him resignedly. “How can you ask me if I miss you after you have just left?”
“Hmph, how can you say that? Don’t you love me anymore? I have been away for a long time and I missed you so much, but you don’t miss me now, Mommy.”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless. Then, she coughed softly and explained, “No. It’s because I knew where you were going, so I was assured. It’s not that I don’t miss you.”
Little Bean lifted his eyes to look at Han Muzi through the screen and coincidentally saw Ye Moxuan entering from the corners of his eyes. So, he asked, “That mister said that you’ve allowed him to bring me here. Is that true, Mommy?” Han Muzi was dumbfounded as she knew who Little Bean meant. Actually, Ye Moxuan had not informed her when he was taking Little Bean away. That was why she could not find Little Bean anywhere in her house after she returned to her senses. “And also, Mommy? Why does that mister look exactly like me? He says that he is my daddy. Is it true?”
Meanwhile, Ye Moxuan came to the door and saw the little brat sitting on the sofa while holding his phone. He curled up into a little ball and let out a childish voice when he talked to the phone. Along with his white shirt, there was a squishy feel to him—like a ball of cotton candy.
Ye Moxuan felt that his heart was coated with a layer of honey. However, in the next second, Little Bean made him anxious with his question. If Muzi doesn’t admit to it, will the little brat… disown me as his daddy? Ye Moxuan held on to his breath as he waited quietly.
After a passage of time, he heard the gentle voice of a woman saying, “Yes, he is your daddy.”
