Everything that is happening before me feels like an illusion. Why is there a child, who resembles me, if it’s not an illusion? In fact, why is he addressing me as his daddy and referring to Han Muzi as his mommy? Could he be… our son? Why does the pain feel so real on my foot if this is merely an illusion? It’s so clear that everything feels so real; it is as if this is truly happening. Well, is this reality or is this an illusion?
All of a sudden, Ye Moxuan was unable to tell the difference between what was true and what was not. He couldn’t help but narrow his eyes dangerously when he heard that the child wanted to leave him, so Ye Moxuan gave off an intimidating aura instantly.
Leave me? How can she just leave me after provoking me? That little brat is hugging Han Muzi tightly and he has his arms wrapped around her neck. Who is he to do that when I barely have any chance to be intimate with her? Ye Moxuan immediately grabbed Little Bean by his collar to pick him up.
“Ah! Bad daddy! Put me down! Put me down right now!” Little Bean waved his limbs wildly in the air, but his movements were restricted with the layers of clothing on him. He wanted to grab Ye Moxuan’s arm, but it was out of reach and as a result, he looked like he grappled for support wildly in the air.
Han Muzi worriedly observed the situation and she noticed the coldness in Ye Moxuan’s gaze. Hence, she exclaimed in a panic, “You previously promised me that you would listen to my explanation if you were to come across things that you deem unacceptable.”
Ye Moxuan glanced at her when he heard that. Han Muzi’s pretty face was etched with worry. She appears to be extremely concerned about the little brat. Somehow, a single thought flashed through Ye Moxuan’s mind and he blurted out, “Is he more important than me?”
Yan and Xiao Su, who observed everything from their hiding spot, almost rolled their eyes in shock. Is this even the time to be jealous? Shouldn’t the fact that a child just called him ‘Daddy’ take priority? Wouldn’t a normal person be shocked when they see a child who looks exactly like them?
Han Muzi was bewildered by Ye Moxuan’s question because she was under the impression that his thought process and priorities had been affected by his memory loss.
Just when she struggled to come up with an answer, Little Bean broke the silence while staring at Ye Moxuan resentfully. “Daddy, excuse me, but are you a fool?”
Ye Moxuan’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. The next thing he knew, Little Bean screamed at the top of his lungs, “I am Mommy’s precious son, so it’s only natural for me to be more important than you, bad daddy! You better be careful because Mommy might leave you if you don’t put me down right now!”
Ye Moxuan was at a loss for words when he heard that. He noticed that the child stared at him resentfully. The child’s expression and movements were comical since Ye Moxuan had lifted him up in the air, but his expression looked exactly like his when the child spoke. After a while, Ye Moxuan took him out.
Han Muzi wanted to follow them when she saw that.
“I want to talk to him.” His firm statement stopped Han Muzi in her tracks.
She did not chase after them. Little Bean is his son after all, so Ye Moxuan wouldn’t do anything to harm him.
However, Little Bean was reluctant because Ye Moxuan had grabbed him by his collar. He couldn’t come down and swung his limbs wildly while screaming at the top of his voice, “Bad daddy! I don’t want to go out with you! I want Mommy!”
Little Bean’s voice went farther away. Then, the door closed with a thud.
Yan and Xiao Su, who observed everything from the other side of the door, came face-to-face with Ye Moxuan and Little Bean.
Initially, the three of them had planned to enter the house since the door was ajar. However, they decided to observe the situation from outside when they suddenly heard voices from the apartment. Hence, the three of them sneakily hid by the door. Afterward, the three of them were scared witless when they heard Ye Moxuan interrogating Han Muzi. Toward the end, just when the two adults could no longer bear to listen further, they realized in horror that Little Bean was gone. When they checked again, they realized that he had entered the apartment.
After that, things progressed as described. At that moment, Ye Moxuan bumped into Yan and Xiao Su after he closed the door behind him with Little Bean in his other hand. Ye Moxuan squinted menacingly at these two strangers who appeared out of nowhere at the door.
“Aunt Yan, Mr. Xiao, save me!” Little Bean waved at them for help.
Yan and Xiao Su exchanged a glance with each other before clearing their throats. After that, they moved forward to open the door and enter the apartment.
Little Bean’s eyes widened when he saw that. Oh my God! Those two ungrateful bullies!
Without further hindrance, Ye Moxuan made his way to the top of the stairs before placing Little Bean down. Little Bean wanted to run the moment his feet touched the ground. However, he barely took two steps forward before Ye Moxuan yanked the hood of his down jacket. Little Bean tried to run with all his might, but he merely paced around the same spot. Hence, Little Bean snorted in disdain, and he turned around abruptly to bite Ye Moxuan’s wrist.
Ye Moxuan felt a sharp pain on his wrist and he scowled deeply. He was about to shove the child reflexively, but he refrained from doing so when he saw the child’s face. “Are you done biting me?” he asked in an icy tone.
Little Bean thought he was satisfied with the bite and he pulled away.
Ye Moxuan lowered his head and he saw the tiny bite mark across his wrist. When he looked up again, Little Bean grimaced at him while baring his teeth.
Ye Moxuan thought of something when he saw some blood stain on his teeth and he reached out to wipe away the bloodstains. “Tell me. What is going on?”
Little Bean smacked Ye Moxuan’s arm away. He folded his arms across his chest angrily while turning to the side, obviously trying to ignore Ye Moxuan.
Ye Moxuan looked amused when he saw that. This child has quite a temper. However, I will not let it slip since it’s something I need to know. “Are you not telling me? Well, in that case, just tell me who you are.”
“Hmph!” Little Bean refused to answer and turned to face the other side instead.
Ye Moxuan cocked his brow at him. “Did you… call me ‘Daddy’ just now?”
Little Bean was furious when the word ‘Daddy’ was mentioned, but he answered proudly, “You were mistaken. I was not referring to you when I said ‘Daddy’.”
“Is that so? Who were you addressing then? Was it the man at the door?” Ye Moxuan obviously knew that it wasn’t true, but merely wanted to tease the child since the child was so stubborn.
Just look at his face; he is so young. Besides, he called me his dad. It is quite unbelievable, but… the truth is staring me right in the face. What else can I believe?
Little Bean glanced at Ye Moxuan and he copied Ye Moxuan by narrowing his eyes threateningly. “You are too evil. You are trying to get me to drag Mr. Xiao into this. I refuse to do that!”
Ye Moxuan did not expect the child to be so quick-witted. Thus, he reached out to pinch his cheeks while squinting at him unblinkingly. “It’s fine if you refuse to speak. I will ask your mommy since you refuse to explain. I think… your mommy would be more than willing to explain everything to me.”
Little Bean panicked when he heard that Ye Moxuan was about to go to his mother. However, something struck him, and he snorted loudly. “I heard everything when I was at the door. You called Mommy’s unborn baby a bastard. You offended my mommy and she will not forgive you!”
