Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!-Chapter 39 - : Is Dad Also Moving in to Live With Us?

Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Is Dad Also Moving in to Live With Us?

Lu Xining brought the three children to the amusement park, and Yina and John had also arrived. There was business at Yosen Company, so they stayed back at the hotel for a meeting.

Two adults and four children enjoyed every fun facility in the children’s amusement park, and when they left, everyone had a great time.

Just after saying goodbye to Yina and her group, she received a call from Haozi.

Liu Xixi, indeed, had been bailed out by the Ji Family!

The setting sun’s light cast a golden afterglow on Lu Xining, enveloping her in a halo that seemed both sacred and noble.

The surrounding tourists were curious about her identity, a young and beautiful woman with delicate, fair skin, looking like a tender young college girl.

...

By her side were three charming little ones, calling her “Mom.”

“Is this family’s looks too heavenly?”

“All three children are so beautiful, their father’s looks must be spectacular too; their genes are like winning God’s lottery.”

“I want to secretly take a photo to use as a wallpaper; I hope my baby will be born this beautiful too!”

Amidst the murmurs around her, Lu Xining didn’t pay any attention.

On the way back to the Lu family’s home.

Ji Ze and Lu Nuonuo had already fallen asleep.

Ji Chao sat next to Lu Xining, holding her hand and asked, “Mom, are my brother and I not going back to Dad’s house to sleep tonight?”

Lu Xining looked at him, “Mhm, not going back, from now on, Xiao Chao and Xiao Ze will live with Mom and sister, okay?”

Ji Chao’s delicate little face lit up with joy and he instinctively asked, “What about Dad? Will he move over and live with us too?”

Facing the hope in her child’s eyes, Lu Xining did not deceive him with lies; instead, she hugged him close and affectionately pressed her cheek against his.

“Xiao Chao, Dad and Mom are now separated. For the past two years, you and Xiao Ze lived with Dad, and now you’ll live with Mom and your sister. Would you like that?”

Ji Chao immediately understood her implication.

Lu Xining kissed his cheek and patiently explained.

“When you and Xiao Ze miss Dad, you can video call him or go to his house for dinner; Mom won’t stop you.”

He lifted his head from her embrace, his voice somewhat muffled.

“I know, Mom and Dad are divorced.”

“A classmate’s parents are divorced too. He lives with his dad, and his mom visits him often.”

Lu Xining chose the word “separated” fearing the children might not understand, but in reality, they were much wiser than she thought.

Hope still lingered in Ji Chao’s eyes, “Can’t Mom and Dad get back together? Like before.”

Before…

Lu Xining thought back to those five hidden years of marriage.

She stayed at home, taking care of the family, while he was busy working and socializing.

Apart from the excessively passionate and frequent demands at night, which contrasted sharply with Ji Muye’s usual cold and aloof demeanor, other times he was like a block of ice that couldn’t be warmed.

Staying by his side for too long made it easy to get frostbite.

She lowered her gaze at the child’s despondent little face and held him a bit tighter, her voice gentle and sincere filled the car.

“Mom and Dad won’t reconcile; we both have our own lives now.”

“Xiao Chao, even though Mom and Dad are apart, our love for you and Xiao Ze has never decreased.”

“Mom loves you, and Dad loves you too.”

“You will always be the treasures in Mom and Dad’s hearts.”

Her voice had a unique magic, quickly soothing the unrest in Ji Chao’s heart.

He looked up unsurely and asked her, slightly anxious, “Then, will Mom marry another uncle?”

Ji Chao remembered what a classmate had said.

His dad and an aunt got married and had a little brother; the toys at home always went to his little brother first, and only when his little brother didn’t want them could he play.

His mom also married another uncle, and ever since his mom had a little sister, the visits to see him had decreased.

His classmate now lived day to day with his grandparents.

Seeing the hidden unrest in Ji Chao’s eyes and referring to what he said earlier, Lu Xining immediately understood the child’s worries.

She shook her head at him, her tone resolute.

“Mom won’t marry any other uncle, it will just be you, Xiao Ze, Nuonuo and mom living together in the future. Is that okay with you, Xiao Chao?”

Xiao Chao did want that in his heart.

Dad had told them similar things before.

No matter what, he was forever his and Xiao Ze’s dad, and mom was also forever their mom.

Besides, mom still had a lovely little sister here.

Just thinking about being able to see his sister every day swept away the gloom in Xiao Chao’s heart, and he nodded at Lu Xining with a smile.

Xiao Chao, “I’m willing.”

Lu Xining slowly let out a breath.

She had some confidence in Xiao Chao’s agreement.

It was just the playful Ji Ze left.

She turned her head to look at Ji Ze, who was sitting beside the kids’ chair, sleeping with a sweet expression, planning to have a good talk with him later.

Back at the Lu Family.

Lu Xining took care of the three children, helping them wash up and change clothes, and after dinner, played with them in the courtyard for a while.

She didn’t plan to send the two children back to the Ji Family tonight.

Ji Muye, who had been waiting for the children’s return, used the home telephone to call Lu Xining, as she had already anticipated his call.

There was a long silence on the phone.

Lu Xining didn’t want to waste time on such matters with him.

She spoke first, “I’ve said it before, you protect her, I’ll take the children.”

Ji Muye’s voice was cold and magnetic, becoming more enchanting under the night sky, his thin lips slightly parting, devoid of any warmth.

He spoke indifferently, “I do not agree.”

Lu Xining had been cold to him before.

Perhaps because of the words Xiao Chao had said to her tonight, her heart had softened, and even her tone when speaking to Ji Muye was lighter.

“Ji Muye, you can’t always bully me.”

The man’s breathing paused for a moment, her gentle voice something he hadn’t heard in a long time.

Since the moment she had mentioned divorce, their conversations were either indifferent or filled with barbs.

Ji Muye could hardly remember when they last had a calm and proper conversation, his gaze murky and emotions undulating in his eyes.

His voice was husky, “When have I ever bullied you?”

Sensing a softening in Ji Muye’s attitude, a dark light flickered in Lu Xining’s eyes as she looked at the stars in the night sky, continuing her gentle approach.

It was hard to evoke this man’s sense of guilt.

In those five years before, she had experienced his cold and indifferent nature, indifferent no matter what she tried.

It was very frustrating for her.

Lu Xining racked her brains recalling the details of their secret marriage.

Even though they were together because of a marriage contract, there were times when she and Ji Muye had a good relationship, particularly the best period was the year the children were born.

He would try to come home early to be with her and the kids, reducing the number of long business trips. For short business trips, no matter how late, he would return to the Ji Family.

He would blow dry her hair, accompany her during meals, and soothe the children to sleep, even whispering sweet nothings to her.

Later, for some reason, he reverted to his previous ways, becoming cold, distant, and formal towards her, like a stranger.

At night, when she woke up, his shadow was often missing beside her.

The bed was cold to the touch.

As her thoughts returned to that phase, Lu Xining realized that problems in her marriage with Ji Muye had been there long before, but she had ignored them.

The prolonged silence brought an initiative response from the man on the other side.

Ji Muye spoke with a hoarse voice, “Why aren’t you talking?”

Her voice was fleeting with memories, bittersweet, “Two years ago, the day you called me, I was in the hospital.”
