Ye Moxuan felt as if a huge rock had been lifted from his heart, while Little Bean grunted in such a soft tone that only he heard it. Mommy, how could you speak up for Daddy like that after what he did to you?
Little Bean was a bit furious, so he snorted. “Then is he good to you, Mommy? If he doesn’t treat you well, I don’t want him as my Daddy!”
Ye Moxuan’s heart hung on a thread again when he listened to what the child said. He felt that he was about to have a headache and reached out to massage his forehead. This little brat… Why do I have a weird feeling that he is a quirky child who always stirs up trouble? It is understandable, though. If I were him and a man suddenly shows up to claim that he is my father, surely I will resist him too. After all, I have never fulfilled my responsibilities for the past five years, so it will be difficult for him to believe me when I tell him that I’m his father. He probably needs time to digest the news. With this thought in mind, Ye Moxuan gradually calmed his heart.
“It doesn’t matter whether you want to or not. He is your daddy.” Han Muzi sighed before she asked softly, “Is he beside you?”
Little Bean pretended not to see Ye Moxuan and shook his head. “He’s not here, Mommy.”
“Then listen to me.” Han Muzi looked at her son with a pair of gentle eyes and smiled before she spoke softly, “It doesn’t matter where he was before because he is here now. He is still your daddy. Even if you don’t want to acknowledge him as your daddy, he is your daddy. It doesn’t make any difference whether you want to acknowledge him or not. And also, for the past five years, I myself have made some mistakes too, but I’ve thought clearly about it. So, Little Bean, for my sake, please don’t make things difficult for your daddy, alright?”
What was in Han Muzi’s mind now? She was able to place herself in Ye Moxuan’s position and understand his feelings. If it had been her, she would have felt bad about it too. He was concerned, especially with the last two questions that he asked—and they were about Ye Linhan. Even though nothing was said about hating Ye Linhan to Han Muzi, he was still the man who destroyed Ye Moxuan’s family. How could he not hate him for what he had done? Han Muzi related well to the feeling of having a third party destroy a relationship because it had happened to her relationship with Lin Jiang as well. She was also disgusted that time, which was why she understood Ye Moxuan’s feelings.
Little Bean pouted with discontent. “Mommy, you are always so considerate of him, but does he even know?”
Those words were strictly meant for Ye Moxuan, who stood at a corner, to listen. He rubbed his chin, feeling that his image had suddenly collapsed in the eyes of his son. The little brat initially hated him, but after he had brought him without his mother, Little Bean’s grudge for him only intensified. He pressed his lips, feeling embarrassed.
On the other side of the call, Han Muzi smiled faintly. “Alright, you children shouldn’t ask too much about adult issues. I have my own limits, so I know what to do. Remember to ask your daddy to send you to school tomorrow. I will bring your bag to school for you. Do you hear me?”
“Okay.” Little Bean nodded, but he still felt sorry for his Mommy.
“It’s late now. You better go to bed early. Don’t doze off at school tomorrow.”
“Goodnight to you, Mommy. I love you.” Little Bean showed a loving gesture to the screen and ended the call. After he put away the phone, he curled up on the sofa and muttered, “Hmph, stupid Mommy.”
While he stood outside the living room, Ye Moxuan heard his words and felt a stabbing pain in his heart. He did not enter and instead ordered a servant to take care of Little Bean as he returned to his study room.
The minute he entered the study room, he wanted to make a phone call to Xiao Su, but realized that his phone was still with the little brat when he tried to take his phone out. He went to his drawer and fished out a backup phone in such a helpless situation. Just as and when he made the call, he suddenly thought of something and immediately cut the call. He felt that he broke his promise by asking Xiao Su to look more into the child’s background.
He then put down the phone. Forget it.
…
Han Muzi woke up early the next day and casually showered before she headed downstairs to make breakfast.
Yan followed suit not too long after and saw that Han Muzi had already prepared breakfast for them. “Why are you up so early?”
Han Muzi lifted her eyes to meet Yan’s gaze and smiled. “How is this early? It’s almost time for work. Hurry up and eat.”
Yan did as she was ordered. As she started to eat, she saw that Han Muzi was already headed upstairs. After she had finished eating, she got up to wash her hands and saw that her roommate was prepared to head outside while holding Little Bean’s bag. “I’m going to Little Bean’s school first. Maybe you should take the bus to work instead.”
Yan was upset by this. “Really? We haven’t gone to work together in a long time and now you’re not even waiting for me?”
Han Muzi replied in a resigned state, “Then I’ll give you five minutes to finish your makeup and get ready. Can you do that?”
Five minutes? That won’t even be enough for my makeup. Yan shook her head in refusal. “Forget it. I think I’ll just squeeze myself in the bus. Are you okay today?”
“Yes? How could I not be fine?”
Yan blinked. “Why do you look like you’re in a good mood today?”
“Should I be in a bad mood instead?”
Shouldn’t you be? Last night, Ye Moxuan took Little Bean away and left here, so it did not seem right. Muzi woke up earlier today to make breakfast and prepared everything diligently. The more normal it looked, the weirder it was for Yan.
“Alright. I’ll be off then.” Han Muzi left and carried the bag without waiting for Yan’s reaction.
After she left, Yan rubbed her head and went upstairs again.
Han Muzi went to school earlier and left Little Bean’s bag there before immediately heading to her company. Maybe she was scared of meeting Ye Moxuan and Little Bean.
She hated to relive last night’s scene and lacked the courage to talk to Ye Moxuan anymore because when it came to emotions, she was an exceptionally weak person. If Ye Moxuan said something that was uncertain to her again, she was sure that she would throw in the towel in their relationship. Their love made her feel like she walked on thin ice.
Ye Moxuan also woke up earlier to send Little Bean to school. When he brought him to the gate, the teacher had carried his bag while having a chat with her colleague as they walked inside. Coincidentally, they saw that Little Bean was approaching them.
What surprised the teachers the most was that the man, who sent Little Bean to school, was the exact replica of him.
The school teachers had never met Little Bean’s father, which made everyone curious. As Han Qing was his uncle, they only dared to talk about it privately. Now that they finally met Ye Moxuan, a few teachers were stunned at the facial similarities.
