Ye Zhongjue called earlier to tell Mo Suqing that he would be picking the kids up, so she went ahead and prepared dinner first.
However, Mo Suqing waited for quite a long time and they werenât back yet.
Worried about them, she decided to go out and look for them.
Mo Yanxi came running into the house the moment she opened the door and dashed up the stairs crying.
Ye Zhongjue and Ye Yanchen entered right after.
Wondering why her daughter was crying so badly, Mo Suqing asked with a frown, âJue, whatâs wrong with Xiaoliu?â
âAsk Aâjiu about it. I have no idea either. She actually stopped crying on the way back, but she burst into tears again earlier!â
Mo Suqing could sense the indignation in Ye Zhongjueâs voice.
Ye Zhongjue loved his daughter, but the girl seemed to prefer hanging out with her mother, Mo Suqing, ever since they got back together.
Ye Zhongjue felt jealous over this, and he felt as if he became a stepdad all of a sudden.
He felt upset that his little princess seemed to be on somebody elseâs side now.
There is a Chinese saying that daughters were the lovers of their fathers in their past lives, but judging from her behavior, he felt that Mo Suqing was his daughterâs past lover instead!
Mo Suqing looked at Ye Zhongjue, speechless. I canât believe heâs jealous of his own children.
Naturally, the kids would want to spend time with their mother considering they spent the first few years of their lives without her.
Ye Zhongjue suddenly realized that his position in the family seemed to be the lowest even when heâs the breadwinner.
How do I change that?, he wondered.
Mo Suqing asked, âAâjiu, do you know whatâs wrong with your little sister?â
Ye Yanchen shook his head. âI donât know!â
âI thought twins had telepathy? You really have no idea?â
âMummy, sheâs a girl, Iâm a boy. I donât have telepathy with her!â
âWell, if thatâs the case, letâs wait till Xiaoliu stops crying before we have dinner!â
Mo Suqing then sat in a corner acting like she was not going to have dinner anytime soon.
Ye Yanchen frowned at this. What? Itâs Xiaoliu who refuses to eat. Why isnât Mummy allowing me to eat? Iâm still growing!
He then walked over to Mo Suqing and said, âMummy, I suddenly recall what upset Xiaoliu.â
âOh⦠Really? What is it?â
She already knew that her son was hiding something from her.
âXiaoliu came looking for me during break time in school and she asked why boys and girls had to use different restrooms! So I just told her that boys and girls are different! But she kept asking me about the difference...â
Ye Yanchen stole a glance at Mo Suqing before he continued.
âI was doing my work at the time so I told her to go take a look on her own!â
âAnd then?â
âThen⦠Xiaoliu went to peek in the boyâs room. She came back to me and asked why she didnât have that⦠thing!â
Mo Suqing was suppressing her laughter by now. âHow did you answer her then?â
âI was busy so I told her that hers dropped off when she was younger!â
âPft!â Mo Suqing laughed at this.
âThen she went crying in the girlâs room. I couldn't enter so I asked another female classmate to get her, but she ignored everyone. In the end, Daddy had to ask a teacher to get her out!â
So she was crying over this! But how do I console her?, Mo Suqing wondered.
Well, itâs Aâjiu who made her cry, so Iâll get him to console her.
âAâjiu, is Xiaoliu our princess?â
âYes!â Ye Yanchen answered instantly.
âGood! Weâll just have to wait until she stops crying to have dinner then!â
Mo Suqing stood up, smiling.
She then turned to Ye Yanchen and said, âOh I forgot to tell you that I made your favorite braised ribs today!â
Why do I feel as if Mummy seems to be trying to bait me to do something!
But Iâll do it for my braised ribs!
He stood up quickly and said, âMummy, Iâll go console Xiaoliu!â
He then ran upstairs.
Iâm so smart!, Mo Suqing marveled at herself.
Ye Zhongjue pulled her into his arms right after.
âDear, why do I feel that youâre getting more and more evil?â
âAm I?â
âAre you not?â
âI think youâre mistaken!â
Ye Zhongjueâs lips then crashed into hers.
âWhat are you doing! The kids might come down anytime!â
Ye Zhongjue looked at her playfully. âItâs your punishment for lying!â
In Mo Yanxiâs room upstairs.
Ye Yanchen opened the door to see his sister crying on her bed.
I brought this upon myself!
He cleared his throat and said, âStop crying, Xiaoliu. Listen to what I have to say, okay?â
âNo, I wonât listen!â
âYou might regret it in future if you donât!â
This successfully piqued Mo Yanxiâs curiosity. She looked up at her brother and asked, âWhy would I regret it?â
âItâs not that yours dropped, itâs just that boys have something extra there. Donât tell Daddy and Mummy I told you this, okay?â
Mo Yanxi smiled immediately. âSo thereâs nothing wrong with me! Iâm hungry! Big Brother, letâs have dinner!â
She then dashed downstairs.
Xiaoliu, you havenât agreed about not telling Daddy and Mummy about it!
Her mood changes like the weather!
Mo Suqing smiled as she watched her kids eat dinner happily.
âXiaoliu, what did your brother tell you to make you come downstairs?â Mo Suqing asked.
âHe said itâs him who has something extra!â
Everyone was stunned. Mo Suqing almost spat out her food. Fortunately, she reacted fast enough and avoided eye contact with others to calm herself down.
Ye Zhongjue appeared really stiff. He gazed at his son. Wow, son. In order to eat, youâd say anything!
Ye Yanchen stared at Mo Yanxi, annoyed. I should have known I canât rely on her for anything!
Ye Yanchen just wanted to facepalm.
Ye Zhongjue helped with the dishes after dinner as the kids went to do their homework.
Ye Yanchen glared at Mo Yanxi again after finishing dinner, and Mo Yanxi stuck her tongue out at him before running upstairs.
Mo Suqing smiled and shook her head.
After a while, Ye Yanchen shouted from upstairs, âMummy, I want to take a shower!â
âOkay! Be right there!â
However, Ye Zhongjue stopped her.
âNo, I canât let you help him with his showers anymore. I wonât let you look at any other male bodies except for mine!â
Whatâs wrong with you, Ye Zhongjue! Your son is only five. Heâs five! Why are you even this jealous?!
