"Wait a moment, Lan Baobao is coming back from a walk with Mumu and Ruo Ruo. Let's have dinner together later; it's been a long time since we all ate together. Don't even think about running away," the old man said in a much gentler tone.
When people grow old, many things become clearer; they become indifferent to fame and fortune, but family becomes more important than anything else.
As long as this matter can be resolved, he doesn't mind putting in a little effort.
"I still think it's better not to. Grandpa, there are many things at the company that need to be handled. I'm staying at the office today and won't be coming back."
Ye Zixun turned and walked toward the door, picking up his suit jacket as he explained, "Besides, Lan Baobao probably doesn't want to see me right now. Whenever she sees me, she starts crying, and when I see her cry, I feel upset and my temper flares up. I want to argue with her, so it's better for me to avoid her for now."
"You little Stinky Kid! You have so many flashy excuses. If you want to leave, then hurry up! If you're not home, I can save on two meals and send that money to support Africa!" Grandpa Ye stomped his cane in frustration, but considering his health, he couldn't chase after him right now. He had just run around the living room chasing him for two laps and almost exhausted himself.
Ye Zixun smiled and left the room.
He also wanted to be at home with Lan Baobao and the two kids, enjoying a warm meal made by the family. However, that damned Pan Xinzi, that damned Yan Momo, and that most damned Mu Jiao'er had him in such a mess that he couldn't even manage to have a meal at home.
He Ye Zixun vowed to make them pay tenfold or even a hundredfold!
When Lan Baobao returned from her walk with Mumu and Ruo Ruo, Grandpa Ye did not mention anything about asking Ye Zixun to come back. He briefly explained the situation to Lan Baobao.
However, Grandpa Ye didn't want Lan Baobao to feel dissatisfied because of his meddling in their affairs. He knew that Lan Baobao was a dutiful child and naturally didn't want her to worry too much about their issues.
After all, those matters were ultimately between the two kids.
As for people like Pan Xinzi, Grandpa Ye didn't know much about them and didn't dare to interfere recklessly.
However, overall, he still had to thank his precious great-grandson. If it weren't for Mu Mu overhearing the phone conversation between Lan Baobao and Li Xiaoran and secretly telling him, he would have probably been kept in the dark by those two until the end.
After all, his great-grandson and great-granddaughter were a pair of treasures!
Invaluable treasures!
Grandpa Ye secretly gave Brother Mu a victory sign.
Brother Mu immediately raised his index finger and shushed him, reminding Grandpa not to let anything slip in front of Lan Baobao.
Grandpa Ye quickly restrained his old mischievous demeanor.
Lan Baobao felt that she seemed to have forgotten something today. Now, seeing the delicious food being placed on the table one after another, she suddenly understood.
Brother Mu had eaten too much and his stomach was bloated; he wanted to go for a walk.
But...
But they hadn't even had dinner yet. How could he feel so full?
Could it be that her two little treasures had already mastered the ability to fill their stomachs just by drinking air?
There was no time to think too much. Brother Mu and Ruo Ruo were like they were cramping up; they couldn't sit still during the meal and insisted on being fed.
Feeding them was fine, but the two babies were overly excited as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline.
Lan Baobao pitied her legs; it was really exhausting!
After dinner and finishing her washing up, she finally handed both pups over to Grandpa Ye.
Lan Baobao took a hot shower, and when she came out of the bathroom, she felt utterly exhausted. As a responsible new-age mother, managing these two mischievous children was no easy task; there was always the danger of being torn apart by them.
Moreover, there was the risk of being driven to death by the two kids.
She was nurturing the flowers of the next generation for her country with her own life! Shouldn't she be awarded a certificate for this?
Lying in bed, Lan Baobao closed her eyes and thought quietly for a moment. Then, she picked up her phone and called Ye Zixun.
She wasn't even sure what her true purpose for making this call was. After not seeing Ye Zixun all day, Lan Baobao felt an emptiness in her heart, as if something was missing. She felt uncomfortable but couldn't pinpoint what exactly it was.
However, Lan Baobao didn't want to feel this way. She didn't want her heart to be filled only with thoughts of Ye Zixun. First, she felt it was unfair; Ye Zixun was surrounded by admirers at work and probably wouldn't think of her until much later. Why did she always think of him? Second, Lan Baobao had already made up her mind to put an end to things with Ye Zixun this time. If she continued to think about him after their divorce, how could she move on with her new life?
Grandpa Ye had also been hesitant today.
It seemed that he implied that this matter wasn't Ye Zixun's fault but someone else's.
But if Ye Zixun didn't want to do something, who could possibly hold a knife to his throat and force him to comply?
The sound of a waltz came through the phone; it was Ye Zixun's ringtone. Lan Baobao's heart raced as the waltz played on. Finally, the waltz ended abruptly, and a familiar voice came from the other end!
"Hello, baby, is there something wrong? Can't sleep because you miss me?" Seeing that it was Lan Baobao calling, Ye Zixun quickly set aside his work and cleared his throat before answering the phone, his voice sounding particularly gentle.
At that moment, he feared that any minor detail he hadn't handled well would irritate Lan Baobao and cause her anxiety.
"You vain person! I am a bit restless, but… it's not because I miss you!" Whether or not she missed Ye Zixun was something Lan Baobao couldn't quite figure out herself.
However, there was still an excuse to hear Ye Zixun's voice.
Lan Baobao's heart felt somewhat comforted.
"Ye Zixun, when can you come back? I have some things I want to discuss with you." Lan Baobao felt a pang in her heart, thinking of Ye Zixun's face, her whole body trembling.
Both her body and mind told her that the person she loved was Ye Zixun. If she left him, would she be able to survive?
This was what Lan Baobao was thinking. Yet the tone that came out of her mouth was unusually cold. It seemed as if the roles of the two had somehow reversed, and their personalities had switched.
"I'm still busy with work at the company and might not be able to come back tonight. But if you miss me, I can come back," Ye Zixun thought to himself, secretly pleased. However, at the same time, he wondered if Lan Baobao had already regretted it. Now she was urging him to return; it seemed his charm was indeed not to be underestimated.
"Is there something you need, baby?" Ye Zixun asked, feigning calmness.
"Take some time to come back. Let's find a lawyer and sign the divorce agreement." Just a simple sentence instantly kicked Ye Zixun's emotions from cloud nine down to rock bottom, leaving him battered and bruised.
"Lan Baobao!" Ye Zixun gasped in anger, slamming his hand on the desk in the office, his roar shaking the entire floor.
Fortunately, he was the only one left in the company that night; no one else would suffer.
What was wrong with this woman Lan Baobao? Did she call just to provoke him? Unexpectedly, he found himself truly provoked.
"Lan Baobao, I've been with you for a long time, and I know very well that I will not agree to a divorce."
Lan Baobao was unconvinced. After all, she considered herself a person of some quality; at least she knew basic legal knowledge. Even if Ye Zixun was unwilling to divorce, she had ways to make it happen.
In fact, Lan Baobao had never been a particularly resolute person; most things she did ended up being half-hearted. However, ever since the idea of divorcing Ye Zixun sprouted in her mind, it had become uncontrollable.
It seems that as long as she doesn't divorce Ye Zixun, this impulse in her heart will never settle down.
She no longer wants to live like this; she longs for a future where she can be carefree. In the future, when she encounters Ye Zixun on the street, no matter what kind of woman he is with, she can just smile and walk past.
Once this thought emerged, the influence Ye Zixun had in her mind seemed to vanish in an instant.
In its place was a head full of thoughts about wanting to be released and liberated.
"If you are unwilling to come back and sign, I will find a way myself. Anyway, you will eventually compromise," Lan Baobao said confidently. In front of Ye Zixun before, she had always compromised and endured, but this time she didn't want to endure any longer.
"Baby, let me explain," Ye Zixun said almost pleadingly. "What you saw yesterday with Mu Jiao'er was really a misunderstanding. Nothing happened between us; our relationship is from a long time ago. This time I approached her because of something very important."
Before Ye Zixun could finish, Lan Baobao had already hung up the phone. She didn't want to listen to his rambling anymore, and just hearing the name Mu Jiao'er was enough to make her feel disgusted.
So that woman was Mu Jiao'er; it turned out to be Mu Jiao'er. How could Ye Zixun still be in contact with Mu Jiao'er privately? Yesterday, from a distance, Lan Baobao had only seen a woman with a perfect figure and hadn't seen her face. But now Ye Zixun had actively admitted that the woman was Mu Jiao'er.
Before their marriage, Mu Jiao'er had always been Ye Zixun's mistress. Over the years, countless women had come and gone by Ye Zixun's side, but Mu Jiao'er always held a place in his life. Her figure always appeared in Ye Zixun's life.
