Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!

Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Do you want my son to call someone else dad?

Lu Xining was stunned by his train of thought.

Talking about child custody, what was he dragging into this?

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Ji Muye’s cold voice rise again, as if she had done something unforgivable to him.

“Lu Xining, do you want my son to call someone else dad?”

Before she could respond, he had already made a judgment: “Don’t even think about it!”

Lu Xining: “???”

...

“I never thought about them calling someone else dad. We’re already divorced, but you are their father, that won’t change.”

Ji Muye probed, “If I say, you can have the children’s custody only if you divorce your current husband, can you do it?”

Bright sunlight poured in through the window, casting a clear and translucent glow on Lu Xining’s skin, her calm beautiful eyes suddenly brightened, “Are you as good as your word?”

She stood up excitedly from the sofa, took two steps forward, looked into his deep eyes, and breathed hastily, “Just by ‘divorcing,’ you will give me custody of the two kids?”

Ji Muye leaned back slightly and said, “I just said ‘if’.”

Lu Xining: “No need for hypotheticals! I can consider it!”

For the first time since their reunion, she observed him seriously, not wanting to miss any subtle emotion on his face.

She wanted to make sure that his words were genuine.

Whether he was just toying with her or truly willing to let go.

At this moment, she could even envision the future happiness with her children.

Ji Chao had already opened up to her.

As for Ji Ze… he wasn’t beyond teaching.

She would give them the best education, a beautiful childhood, and an immeasurable future.

Absolutely, it wouldn’t be worse than what Ji Muye could offer!

The joy in Lu Xining’s eyes blazed like thousands of stars, dazzling and captivating, firmly locking Ji Muye’s gaze.

His dark eyes were complex, towards her, towards her current husband.

“I was just speaking off the cuff; you don’t need to consider it. I haven’t agreed to give you custody.”

Seeing the smile fade from Lu Xining’s face, Ji Muye felt an inexplicable pleasure.

“They are my sons; I will give them the best of everything. With me, they will be happier than anyone else.”

Lu Xining thought of Ji Chao’s tears, “But just now, because of Liu Xixi, you made Ji Chao suffer.”

The man stared at her uncomprehendingly, “Stop dragging Xixi into our issues.”

“Whether it’s Xixi or someone else, it was wrong for Ji Chao to push, especially an elder. Judging the matter, his age is no excuse for making a mistake.”

“They are my sons; if they are wrong, I will personally teach them.”

Lu Xining stepped back, accidentally hitting the corner of the coffee table and falling backward, Ji Muye instinctively reached out his hand.

She dodged his hand and quickly stood up.

Lu Xining frankly said, “Liu Xixi wanted to pinch Nuonuo, and Xiao Chao pushed Liu Xixi away to protect his sister.”

Ji Muye hadn’t expected this, “I thought Xixi wouldn’t lay hands on a one-year-old child.”

Every word was like a sharp blade; Lu Xining frowned at the man in front of her.

After five whole years of marriage, he didn’t trust her but trusted Liu Xixi…

After a moment of thought, Lu Xining seriously told him, “Then, let’s just meet in court.”

Every discussion, every breakdown, they would never agree.

She would fight for child custody by all means necessary.

Ji Chao and Ji Ze were the children she bore for ten months, enduring morning sickness, experiencing leg cramps at night, and finally going through a near-death experience to give birth.

Before, it was she who let her anger affect the children, but now, she was confident in teaching them well and did not want to give up on them.

Even if she didn’t win the custody in the end, she didn’t want the two children to think they were abandoned without reason.

She loved them, more than anyone else.

Ji Muye suddenly stood up, also displeased, and left a phrase, “Whatever you want.”

He went to the bedroom and picked up Ji Chao and Ji Ze, one in each hand, and was about to leave when he felt someone clinging to his right leg.

He lowered his gaze and met Lu Nuonuo’s tear-filled eyes.

The little guy clung to his leg tightly, droplets of tears fell one after another, all wiping onto his trousers.

“Don’t bully brother.”

Lu Nuonuo stretched out a hand to grasp Ji Chao’s hand, “Brother is good.”

A complex, indescribable emotion grew in Ji Muye’s heart as he saw the little one’s tears.

Lu Nuonuo was Lu Xining’s biological daughter.

That was undeniable.

He set down the two children, knelt down, and gently wiped her tears with his fingertip, “Don’t cry, I’m not bullying your brother.”

Nuonuo took out a candy from her little candy bag; it was the one she wanted to give him during their previous video call.

“Here’s a candy, to make brother happy.”

Ji Muye had never liked sweets since he was small, but at this moment, he unexpectedly opened his mouth. The pineapple-flavored candy tasted sweet, leaving him slightly bewildered. @@novelbin@@

Seeing him eat the candy, a smile lit up in Nuonuo’s eyes.

She pulled Ji Chao in front of Ji Muye, looking at him expectantly.

…Quick, cheer up, brother.

Ji Muye inexplicably understood the little one’s intention, sighed, and said to Ji Chao, “Sorry, dad spoke to you in the wrong tone just now. It was the first time I saw you being impolite, but there was a reason, so I apologize to you.”

Ji Chao was somewhat amazed, “Ah… it’s okay, it doesn’t matter.”

Ji Muye patted his eldest son’s head, “From now on, dad will talk to you nicely. Can Xiao Chao forgive dad?”

Ji Chao nodded, the gloom in his eyes vanished in a flash, now wishing he could give all his toys to Nuonuo.

She could diffuse the tension between him and dad and even got dad to eat sweets!

Lu Nuonuo was truly the best sister in the whole world!

Ji Muye picked her up, the little one seemed chubby but was light to hold, soft and sweet, making one reluctant to let go.

Handing her over to Lu Xining, who had just entered the room, Ji Muye spoke, “You have a very good daughter.”

Lu Xining: “…You don’t need to remind me. I know my daughter is of course very good.”
