As the time quietly slipped away, it wasn’t long before it was past noon yet Ye Moxuan, Little Bean and Xiao Su still hadn’t returned home. Han Muzi was a bit worried, so she made a call to Ye Moxuan to ask him where they had been. The phone rang for a while before it was answered. What came after was a childish voice from the phone. “Mommy!”
Little Bean’s voice came through the phone and it immediately lodged itself into Han Muzi’s heart. His infectious voice quickly put a smile on her face. “Little Bean.”
“Mommy,” he called her one more time before asking her quickly, “Mommy, you’re really bad. You have my phone number, but why did you choose to call Daddy? Are you biased, Mommy? You like Daddy, and you don’t like me, right?”
Listening to his words, a trace of helplessness flashed through her beautiful eyes as she pinched her forehead. “Silly child, how could I be biased?” she asked gently. Little Bean and Ye Moxuan were the two most important men in her life and it would never be in a particular order.
Of course, if the child she carried was another boy, then there would be one more important man in her life. However, Han Muzi personally hoped more that this child would now be a girl. If the child was really a girl, she and Ye Moxuan would have the full package. A family of four. Just the thought of it brought her warmth.
“Mommy, you’re lying! You said that you’re not biased, but you didn’t call me!” Little Bean still complained about her on the phone.
“Alright. Don’t be mad. I will call you next time, alright?”
“No! Mommy, you can only call me from now on!”
He was just a kid, so Han Muzi agreed to his request. “Alright. I promise you.”
Soon after, Han Muzi’s promise still hadn’t satisfied Little Bean at all as he sat on Ye Moxuan’s lap with the latter’s phone. Then, he suddenly lifted his head to gaze at Ye Moxuan.
Ye Moxuan, who was reading through his documents, had a bad feeling right away. Right when he lowered his head, his gaze happened to meet that of Little Bean’s spotless eyes. Then, he heard Little Bean open his mouth. “Mommy, do you love Daddy more or me?”
Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless. Suddenly, his eyes were filled with dangerous intent as he looked toward Little Bean. He even squinted them while his sharp eyes stared right through Little Bean.
On the other hand, Little Bean was not afraid at all. He joyfully turned on the phone’s loudspeaker so that Ye Moxuan could hear Han Muzi’s every word clearly.
After being asked, Han Muzi casually replied, “Of course I love you more.” She hadn’t given it much thought since he was just a child and his emotions always changed, so it was fine for her to coax him. Besides, Ye Moxuan was Little Bean’s daddy, therefore, he shouldn’t mind her saying that. As a father, he must take on the responsibility!
“Mommy, are you being honest?”
“Yes.” For some reason, Han Muzi had a cold feeling down her back after she said that. She shrank her shoulders instinctively as she felt that something was odd. What’s wrong with me?
…
Inside the President’s office of Yuchi Group.
After Han Muzi’s words—‘of course I love you more’—reached Ye Moxuan’s ears from the phone, the aura around him changed drastically and it became dangerous and gloomy while he stared at Little Bean with his sharp eyes.
Naturally, Xiao Su, who was standing aside, felt the sudden change in atmosphere. After all, he had been beside Young Master Ye for so many years, so it was needless to say he was familiar with his master’s emotions. However, he never expected Young Master Ye to be jealous of his own son. This is too absurd, right? Xiao Su pressed his lips, but he didn’t dare to say anything.
“Thank you, Mommy. I’ll always love you. I’ll end the call now.”
As Han Muzi heard that he was about to end the call, she became anxious. “Wait.”
At the moment, Ye Moxuan’s eyes moved. Is she trying to ask about me? Thinking of it, he quirked up the corners of his lips slightly. After all, the phone number is mine. Her calling my phone number shows that she cares more for me than Little Bean. What she said just now was just to coax the kid. Yes, I shouldn’t mind at all. As he thought about it, his smile grew wider.
“Mommy, what else do you have to say?”
“Have you eaten yet? You’re still young, so you need to eat on time. If you’re hungry, remember to ask your daddy to bring you out for some delicious food, alright? Don’t be picky with your food too. Do you hear me?” At the end, Han Muzi’s tone became a bit stern.
Little Bean nodded quietly. “Okay, Mommy. I’m a good boy; I won’t be picky with my food.”
“That’s my good boy.” Han Muzi was assured after hearing him. According to Ye Moxuan’s previous performance when he first saw Little Bean, Ye Moxuan should be able to take good care of him.
“Mommy, is there anything else?” Little Bean glanced at Ye Moxuan with a smile hanging by his lips. He felt that he needed to give Ye Moxuan a huge blow or else the latter would never learn that his position was nowhere near Little Bean’s.
“Nope. Remember to behave.” As soon as her words came out, the smile on the corner of Ye Moxuan’s lips froze while his eyes were filled with disbelief. Nothing? She called my phone just to care about Little Bean only?! She didn’t even ask about me!
“Alright, Mommy. I’ll end the call now.”
The smile on Ye Moxuan’s face slowly faded away.
“Okay. Goodbye.”
Beep! This time, the smile on Ye’s Moxuan face completely disappeared. Then, Little Bean closed the screen and joyfully handed it over to Ye Moxuan. “Daddy, here’s your phone!”
However, Ye Moxuan refused to take it. Instead, his dark eyes continue to stare at the little brat’s tender face in front of him. As he kept quiet, the air around them seemed to freeze as well. Not too long later, Little Bean shoved his phone straight into his arms. “Daddy, did you hear it just now? Mommy said that she loves me more!”
Ye Moxuan clearly knew that the little brat was playing his tricks. The little brat answered Ye Moxuan’s phone on purpose before turning on the loudspeaker in front of him while he asked the question. He even purposely prevented Han Muzi from mentioning Ye Moxuan’s name. Is he trying to agitate me? Or is it revenge? Is it because I didn’t treat Muzi well before, so he’s trying to fight for his mommy? Come to think of it, this is the only explanation that I can think of.
Even though Ye Moxuan knew that he had wronged Han Muzi before, he was determined to make amends. Only thing was… he had lost his memory; it was difficult for him to remember what had happened in the past. Looks like I need to quickly recover my memory.
Nonetheless, he was still upset at the moment. That woman… it’s fine for her to say that she loves Little Bean more than me, but why didn’t she mention about me on the phone? Does she still remember whose mobile phone she rang? As he thought about it, he felt a distress in his chest as if he couldn’t breathe.
“Daddy, are you alright?” Little Bean came over and asked him, without a hint of sincerity in his voice.
