Lu Jingyi's heart melted with cuteness, and he really wanted to go up and rub each person's head.

But...my mommy is still here!

Lu Jingyi tried hard to control the urge to reach out his hand, smiled implicitly, and said, "Goodbye."

Then, he called Qian Fugui and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." Mu Baoer suddenly stopped the person.

Lu Jingyi paused, turned his head and looked at her in surprise, his eyes tinged with excitement. He couldn't help but wonder, why did the young lady call him? Could it be that she wanted to keep him for dinner? In that case, he really had to obey!

Staying for dinner is something I can only dream of.

Mu Baoer stared at Lu Jingyi for a long moment before she slowly spoke, "When Young Master Lu said he wanted to find Xiao Che and Xiao Han, I didn't refuse because I thought you were a sensible person. Now it seems I was overthinking it."

The fact that Lu Jingyi would pick up the two children from school must be the result of another investigation. It doesn't feel good at all to have all the secrets exposed under other people's noses.

So, Mu Baoer was angry.

She pursed her lips and said seriously, "The three of us, mother and son, enjoy a quiet life. I hope Master Lu will not bother us again in the future."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingyi immediately panicked and hurriedly explained: "I was not thoughtful enough in the previous matters. I apologize, I'm sorry, but I really like them both."

"Young Master Lu..."

"If you don't like what I did before, I'll correct it. I promise that next time I meet the two children, I'll get your consent. Please, little sister, don't kill me with one stroke, okay? I really... like them very much."

Lu Jingyi interrupted Mu Baoer in a very humble tone.

The eyes are the windows to the soul, and a person's eyes will not lie. Lu Jingyi's love for the two children is indeed not mixed with other factors.

But... Lu Jingyi is Si Lijue's younger brother after all, and Mu Xiaoche looks exactly like Si Lijue. They have been interacting for a long time, and Mu Baoer can't guarantee that nothing will be exposed.

What would I do if Si Lijue knew about the existence of the two children?

You gave birth to the child, raised him/herself, and brought him/her up. Then you give the child away to a so-called biological father. Why?

Mu Baoer bit her lip, clenched her fingers, and was extremely conflicted.

The next second, Mu Xiaoche and Mu Xiaohan tugged at Mu Baoer's arm, looked at her with their big watery eyes, and shouted in a soft voice:

"Baoer Mommy."

"Mommy."

He seemed to be hesitant to speak, but his eyes said it all.

They were pleading for Lu Jingyi.

Lu Jingyi quickly waved at them, signaling them not to speak.

Mu Baoer pursed her lips even tighter, and her pair of dark eyes were brewing thick and complicated emotions.

After Lu Jingyi finished speaking, he swept away the gloom from before and said with a heartless smile: "I'll go back first, little sister, see you next time."

Before leaving, he did not forget to express his determination, "Don't worry, little sister, I will never do anything like picking them up from school without your consent again."

It was not until Lu Jingyi and Qian Fugui disappeared from her sight that Mu Baoer suddenly realized that Lu Jingyi was trying to change her mind!

Was this a case of privately picking him up from school? This was clearly a case of him secretly investigating his and his son's information!

Mu Baoer gritted her teeth and cursed the little fox in her heart!

Lu Jingyi left, and it was Mu Xiaoche and Mu Xiaohan's turn.

Mu Baoer pinched someone's cheek with one hand, snorted coldly with a fake smile, "You two, tell me, is it leniency for those who confess, or severity for those who resist, huh?"

It's impossible to confess. If my mom knew how much money I had cheated Uncle Lu out of, she would definitely make them kneel on the washboard!

So, Mu Xiaoche and Mu Xiaohan looked at each other, hugged Mu Baoer's thighs in unison, stared at her with their big watery eyes, and acted cute.

Mu Baoer: "..."

This is the trick!

Mu Baoer sighed, rubbed their heads, and took them home.

Just because Mu Baoer no longer mentions this matter doesn’t mean it’s over.

After dinner, Mu Baoer curled up on the sofa and watched TV series.

Mu Xiaoche and Mu Xiaohan were washing dishes while whispering and discussing, and they never stopped muttering.

After washing the dishes and cleaning the countertop, the two of them took small steps and ran to Mu Baoer, one on the left and one on the right, falling into her arms, wrapping their little arms around hers and shouting, "Mommy, Mommy~"

Grandma's soft voice melts anyone's heart.

Mu Baoer chuckled, hugged one of them in each hand, kissed their cheeks, and said with a half-smile: "Little troublemakers, why are you so clingy all of a sudden?"

Mu Xiaoche and Mu Xiaohan chuckled, shaking Mu Baoer's hands left and right, and asked cautiously, "Mommy, do you dislike Uncle Lu? If you don't like him, we won't have anything to do with him anymore."

Mu Baoer was stunned by the two children's words, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.

Mu Baoer hesitated for a moment and did not answer. Instead, she asked, "Do you... like him very much?"

Mu Xiaoche didn't say anything. Mu Xiaohan nodded and said, "Uncle Lu is actually a good person, except for being a little silly. He's not a bad person."

They've only known each other for a few days, and she's already coaxing her son to speak well of him!

Mu Baoer gritted her teeth and made a note of Lu Jingyi in the little notebook in her heart.

Seeing Mu Baoer's expression stiffen slightly, Mu Xiaohan suddenly clenched her hands and said awkwardly: "But Xiaohan still likes Mommy the most. If Mommy doesn't like Uncle Lu, Xiaohan won't like him either. As long as Mommy doesn't get angry, that's all that matters."

I will be angry, of course I will be angry.

But if it came to stopping the two children from interacting with Lu Jingyi, Mu Baoer couldn't do it.

Mu Baoer forced a smile and said, "Mommy is not angry, I just don't like him secretly investigating you behind my back."

So that's how it is. Then things are much easier.

Knowing what Mu Baoer was worried about, Mu Xiaohan started to talk about it, all of which was about Lu Jingyi. She didn't say anything nice explicitly, but the meaning was pretty much the same.

Mu Baoer recovered and pinched Mu Xiaohan's nose, snorting and sneering: "How many good things have you taken from him by saying such nice things to him?"

Oh no, it’s exposed!

Mu Xiaohan's expression froze, and he desperately winked at Mu Xiaoche, "Brother, help me!"

Mu Xiaoche covered his face and said, "You dug this hole yourself."

"No, no." Mu Xiaohan stuttered.

Mu Baoer narrowed her eyes, "Hmm?"

Don’t you know what Mu Xiaohan is like? How could he be hesitant if he hasn’t taken any benefits from him and doesn’t feel guilty?
