Ye Moxuan sat there motionlessly. Despite knowing that Little Bean did on purpose in front of Han Muzi, he was still undoubtedly powerless when he faced his son’s whining.
“Daddy, can you do that? Daddy~” Although Little Bean was a boy, his whining differed little from that of a girl.
Ye Moxuan frowned his brows slightly before pressing the little brat’s neck the next second. “How old are you now? Do you still need me to carry you back?” he murmured.
“I’m just a kid after all.” Little Bean blinked. His face was kind and innocent, which made him look especially harmless.
Ye Moxuan twitched his lips. This little brat really thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he is my son?
As for Han Muzi, she was desperate for Little Bean and Ye Moxuan to bury the hatchet for each other. Therefore, she felt that Little Bean was overly compassionate when he asked Ye Moxuan for such a request. That was why before Ye Moxuan agreed to it, Han Muzi opened her mouth first. “In that case, you two quickly return to your room after both of you have finished your water. Little Bean, let your daddy carry you back.”
Little Bean grinned from ear to ear. “Alright, Mommy.”
Ye Moxuan was silenced. He looked at Little Bean for a moment before accepting his fate. Forget it. Besides, there will be time in the future and it doesn’t make a difference if nothing happens tonight. When I get my chance, I’ll straighten things out clearly then.
Right at this moment, footsteps were heard and it came from the living room. Soon after, the three of them heard Xiao Su’s voice. “Eh? Why are the kitchen lights switched on?” Xiao Su also woke up to drink water. Just as he was about to enter the kitchen, he saw that the lights were switched on, so he headed over there.
At this moment, Ye Moxuan seized Little Bean right away and tucked him in his arms. After that, he walked straight toward the exit while Little Bean screamed in his arms, “Ah! Bad daddy, let me down now!”
Ye Moxuan lowered his eyes. “Didn’t you want me to carry you back to your room? I’m carrying you back now.”
“Evil daddy, how is this even called carrying me? Mommy, Daddy is bullying me!” Little Bean shouted.
Han Muzi furrowed her brows as she glanced at Ye Moxuan. “He is still a kid. You should be a bit more gentle.”
Ye Moxuan was silent for a second before answering her, “Alright.” Then, he adjusted Little Bean’s position in his arms before he carried the child out of the kitchen without giving him a chance to complain. Coincidentally, he met Xiao Su who was coming into the kitchen.
Xiao Su was startled when he saw Ye Moxuan holding Little Bean in his hand. “Young Master Ye, what’s going on?” he asked a second later.
“We were thistry in the middle of the night, so we came down to get some water. They just finished drinking their water and were about to go back to their room. What about you, Xiao Su?” Han Muzi probably felt guilty over what she did with Ye Moxuan in the kitchen, hence she immediately answered Xiao Su without waiting for Ye Moxuan’s response. Afterward, she smiled at Little Bean and Ye Moxuan. “Alright. It is much colder now. You should quickly head back to your room and sleep. I’m also going back now.”
“I…” Xiao Su rubbed his head. “I also got up to drink some water.”
For some reason, everyone was exceptionally thirsty tonight. Is it because the heater in the house is switched on at a higher temperature? Or is it because I didn’t drink a sip of water when I rushed over here? The latter is more believable, Xiao Su thought.
“Mr. Xiao, you also want some water? We’ve just finished ours.”
“What a coincidence…”
Han Muzi hurried out of the kitchen and walked toward her room while Ye Moxuan left with Little Bean in his arms. Soon after, Xiao Su was the only one left.
Xiao Su stood there alone by the brightly lit kitchen door with a dumb expression. Later on, he lowered his head and entered the kitchen, deep in his thoughts. Young Master Ye’s whole family really is systematic. They are actually thirsty at the same time.
As soon as Han Muzi went back to her room, she carefully closed the door. When she turned around, she saw a black figure in front of her, which scared her.
“What are you doing in the middle of the night?” Yan’s voice came from the front.
Under the dim moonlight from the window, Han Muzi saw that Yan had wrapped a blanket around her due to the cold.
“I went out for a glass of water.”
Yan remained silent before saying to her, “I’m thirsty too.”
Suddenly, Han Muzi was confused. What’s the matter? Why is everyone thirsty at the same time? Could it really be due to Yan’s cooking? Is that why everyone is thirsty at the same time?
“Well, is there any hot water in the kitchen?”
“Yup.” Han Muzi nodded. After that, Yan still had the blanket wrapped around her as she walked past Han Muzi and opened the door. Yan was probably still sleepy because she waited a while before opening the door and she left it open afterward.
Just like that, Han Muzi saw her wobbling out the door in her blanket.
Initially, Han Muzi wanted to tell Yan that Xiao Su was now in the kitchen, but as she thought about it, there wasn’t any point in reminding her. Yan doesn’t have any grudge with Xiao Su anyway. As the thought came to mind, Han Muzi closed the door before squirming into her warm blanket. Her heart became peaceful a while after she lay down on the bed. Scenes of Ye Moxuan hugging Little Bean flashed through her mind as she hoped that the two of them could get along well. This time, Han Muzi quickly fell asleep.
On the other hand, after Ye Moxuan carried the little brat back to his room, he placed him on the bed and coldly said, “Did you do that on purpose?”
When Little Bean first sat on the bed, he immediately crawled into his blanket. Then, he looked at Ye Moxuan with his pair of innocent eyes. “Daddy, what are you talking about?”
Ye Moxuan stared at the face that was identical to his, but at this moment, the innocence and naivety on his face made it seem as though he was actually the bad person. Afterward, he squinted his eyes and leaned over to pinch Little Bean’s cheek. “Don’t pretend to be stupid. I can see that your thinking is much older than someone of your age.” Even though both of them had just met and they hadn’t interacted with each other for a long time, how could Ye Moxuan not observe that this little brat was no ordinary kid?
Ye Moxuan didn’t know why Little Bean had such a mature mind, but… it probably had to do with his experience. Didn’t I wrong them back then? Otherwise, Little Bean wouldn’t treat me like this. On the surface, he says that he doesn’t dislike me and he wants to be close to me, but after interacting with him, I can deeply feel the slight refusal in him.
Little Bean blinked as he and Ye Moxuan looked at each other for a while. Minutes later, the innocence in the child’s eyes faded, then he opened his mouth. “You are bad to Mommy.” His mommy wasn’t here anyway, so it was not necessary for him to pretend. He couldn’t care less whether the daddy in front of him knew of his true identity or not. No matter what Little Bean said, he knew that his mommy always believed him, therefore, if his daddy wanted to win his mommy’s favor, Ye Moxuan must first make him happy.
Hearing him, Ye Moxuan frowned. “I’m bad to her? You mean… like before?” After all, he had completely forgotten what had happened in the past.
“Yes!” Little Bean nodded continuously as he made a fist in midair with his tiny hand. “Back then, you were a terribly bad person, Daddy. Mommy suffered a lot because of you!”
