Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!-Chapter 23 - He Comes Out of the Lu Family’s Bathroom
Chapter 23: Chapter 23 He Comes Out of the Lu Family’s Bathroom
The next day,
Ji Chao and Ji Ze rushed straight to the guest room after washing up.
Ji Muye had a rare good night without insomnia. He gazed thoughtfully at the spent incense burner on the bedside table.
When the kids came in, he had just finished bathing and was wearing clean clothes that Yan Dong had brought him early in the morning.
Ji Chao and Ji Ze each hugged one of his legs, and after making sure he was okay, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Nuonuo was a step behind them.
...
She looked at his two leg ornaments. “Oh no, uncle only has two legs, and I don’t have a leg to hug.”
After hesitating for a moment,
Lu Nuonuo extended her hand towards Ji Muye, her freshly washed face, especially tender and fair, making her particularly irresistible.
She whispered, “Uncle hug.”
Ji Muye thought for two seconds, then picked her up.
If it had been their dad hugging other kids, Ji Chao and Ji Ze would have been jealous by now, but since it was Lu Nuonuo, they didn’t mind.
Lu Nuonuo clung to Ji Muye’s neck and reminded, “Brother, go to school, eat breakfast.”
When Lu Xining walked out of the door, she saw Ji Muye holding her daughter. Although she had managed Nuonuo’s background quite well, she still worried about any loopholes and hurriedly took her daughter from his arms.
Seeing her so guarded, a thought suddenly came to Ji Muye’s mind: was Lu Xining hiding something from him?
His eyes focused on the exquisitely beautiful face of Lu Nuonuo as he looked closely, the child seemed a bit similar to him.
Before he could think further, Lu Xining had already gone to the dining room with the child.
Ji Chao quickly followed them.
Ji Ze hesitated, thinking of Lu Xining’s indifference towards him, he needed someone to boost his courage.
“Dad, I’ll go with you.”
After breakfast, Lu Xining, holding her daughter, got into the car with Ji Chao and Ji Ze to take them to school.
Beside the black Maybach,
Yan Dong glanced at his boss who had been left alone, hurriedly opened the rear door of the car, feeling guilty and hardly daring to look at him.
As soon as Ji Muye got into the car, he scoffed coldly.
Yan Dong didn’t hear any talk of a salary deduction, and his hanging heart finally relaxed.
At the kindergarten entrance,
Ji Chao and Ji Ze, holding Lu Nuonuo’s hands, proudly introduced her as their little sister while Lu Xining stood behind them with a tender gaze.
“Ji Chao, your mom and little sister are so beautiful!”
“Ji Ze, your dad and mom are the best-looking parents I’ve ever seen.”
“Your little sister is really cute; I wish I had a cute little sister too.”
Lu Nuonuo returned the crowd’s praises with a bright smile and took out candies from her little bag to share with everyone.
While distributing, she called out, “Hello, brothers and sisters.”
The little one pointed to Ji Chao and others, her rosy cheeks smiling toward the others with pride, saying, “My brother.”
Which child could resist the temptation of candies? One by one, they all said they’d be nice to Ji Chao and Ji Ze in the future.
Lu Nuonuo smiled with satisfaction.
The friendship of her brothers, Nuonuo shall guard!
Lu Xining watched the little one with amusement; she didn’t even know her daughter had such a “socially savvy” side.
She had wondered why the little one stuffed so many candies into her little bag before leaving the house.
It turned out they were for her two brothers.
Ji Chao and Ji Ze were also touched.
Lu Nuonuo kept her favorite pink candies for Ji Chao and Ji Ze.
For the first time, Ji Chao and Ji Ze were slightly reluctant to go into the kindergarten.
Lu Nuonuo waved and blew them kisses at the door.
After dropping off her sons, Lu Xining prepared to take her daughter home.
Before getting into the car, the little one suddenly ran over to Ji Muye and waved at him.
The man was puzzled but still crouched down to her.
Lu Nuonuo felt that since she had kissed her brothers, she shouldn’t leave out Ji Muye,
Ji Muye felt the soft touch on one side of his cheek, his body stiffened, unsure how to react.
On the way to his company,
Ji Muye felt something in his pocket and reached in.
It was three pink candies.
He leaned back in his seat, lost in thought for a long time before he snapped back, his dark eyes warming as the chill in them gradually receded.
He put the candies back into his pocket, his lips curving slightly.
Time swiftly passed by.
The school bell had just rung when Ji Chao and Ji Ze, with their small backpacks packed in advance, dashed towards the kindergarten gate.
At the kindergarten’s resting area, Lu Xining and Lu Nuonuo were already waiting for them.
Seeing her brothers, Lu Nuonuo let go of her mother’s hand and sprinted towards Ji Chao and Ji Ze.
This time, she threw herself into Ji Ze’s arms, who was quite surprised, “Sister, is that you?”
Lu Nuonuo looked up, her smile brighter than sunflowers, “Brother.”
Ji Chao was also happy to see the good relationship between his brother and sister, and he walked towards Lu Xining, holding one hand of each.
Today, picking up the kids had gone smoothly.
Across the way, in a red sports car, Liu Xixi glared gloomily at Ji Chao and Ji Ze, who were close to Lu Xining.
After two years, these ingratiates just won’t warm up!
If that was their attitude, she wouldn’t be blamed for being ruthless!
–
It was eight o’clock in the evening.
Ji Muye arrived on time to pick up the children.
They returned to the Ji Mansion.
Ji Chao took out something from his backpack that Lu Xining had given him and handed it to Ji Muye, “Dad, Mom said this could help you sleep.”
They followed the butler back to their rooms to bathe and go to bed.
Ji Muye sat on the sofa, staring at the box of incense for a long time.
The next evening.
When Lu Xining again went to pick up the children from school, Ji Chao took a velvet gift box out of his own backpack and handed it to her.
“Mom, this is a gift from Dad.”
He bashfully added, “Dad mentioned some merit or fortune, I didn’t quite remember.”
Lu Xining immediately understood.
The box of incense she had asked Ji Chao to bring to him the day before was tranquility incense she had made herself; it could help with sleep and alleviate psychological anxiety due to fatigue.
Whenever Lu Xining thought of Ji Chao’s panicked and helpless look that day, she still extended a helping hand for the sake of the children.
She had someone check on Ji Muye these past two years.
He hadn’t lied.
He really had taken hands-on care of his sons, focusing on work and the children, fulfilling a father’s responsibilities.
That was also why she had chosen to help him.
She couldn’t bear to let the children suffer that scene again.
Lu Xining opened the velvet box, inside was a blue diamond necklace, exquisite and beautiful.
Like every gift she had received during their secret five-year marriage.
From the same jewelry designer.

Ji Muye habitually gave jewelry as gifts, letting his secretary select different values according to the recipient’s status.
It was the same with female clients.
And the same with his wife.
Lu Xining scoffed at herself, in his heart, she was no different from those female clients.
She patted Ji Chao’s head, “Xiao Chao, thank your dad for me.”
By accepting the gift, she no longer owed him anything.
Ji Ze, his hands behind his back and a nervous expression on his face, said, “Mom, I have a gift for you too.”
Upon suddenly hearing Ji Ze’s manner of address, Lu Xining was moved, yet she didn’t respond immediately.
“I’m sorry for how I spoke to you before.”
Ji Ze opened the box, “This is a bracelet I made myself as an apology gift.”
His eyes showed his fear of rejection.
Over the past few days, Ji Ze’s emotional balance had leaned towards Lu Xining and Lu Nuonuo.
It had been a long time since he last thought of Liu Xixi.
Ji Ze’s attitude in admitting his mistake was very sincere.
After all, he was her flesh and blood, knowing his mistake could rectify, there was still hope.
Lu Xining ruffled his hair, “Mom will forgive you for now, but there’s a probationary period, if you upset Mom again…”
Ji Ze promised, “I won’t! I’ll definitely be good to Mom from now on.”
Finally, he felt his mother’s embrace again, happier than he would have been with any toy.
Again, it was Friday.
Lu Xining took the three children out for dinner, and as soon as they entered the restaurant, they saw Ji Muye and Liu Xixi, laughing and chatting with the elders of the Liu Family.
Ji Ze’s eyes sparkled, “Brother, look, there’s Dad!”
