Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!

Little Dumpling calling him “Daddy”?

The words of Ji Chao dropped a massive boulder into the calm lake of Ji Muye’s heart, sinking deep and momentarily making it hard for him to breathe.

He remembered the way Little Dumpling called him “Daddy” in Yunqiao Village.

“Daddy, this is the toy John Brother gave me. He also invited me and Brother to go play in Country C during the holidays.”

Ji Ze’s fair and glowing face was full of smiles, and his eyes, so like Ji Muye’s, shone with anticipation.

Ji Muye’s voice was slightly hoarse, “Do you like their family very much?”

Ji Chao and Ji Ze nodded at the same time, “We like them.”

The two children were immersed in the joy of their short trip with their mother, not noticing the changes in their father’s expression.

The birthday of Ji Chao and Ji Ze was approaching.

In past years, Ji Muye would always bring them back to the Ji Family Mansion to celebrate with the elders, and the family would have a reunion dinner together.

This year, Lu Xining had come back.

They clearly preferred to spend their birthday with their mom and sister.

“Xiao Chao, Grandpa and Grandma have already arranged your birthday party early. They will be sad if you don’t go back.”

Ji Muye suggested, “You can invite Mom and your sister to join us at the Ji Family Mansion for the celebration.”

However, Ji Chao shook his head.

He hadn’t forgotten Grandma’s spiteful attitude towards Mom behind her back.

Nothing like the tenderness she showed in front of Dad.

“Daddy, can my brother and I have lunch with Mom and Sister and then come back to the Ji Family Mansion to have dinner with Grandpa and Grandma in the evening?”

Hearing his son’s request, Ji Muye was somewhat silent.

But he still agreed to the children’s wishes.

The night before the twins’ birthday.

Lu Xining had set up the backyard with themes of toys the little guys liked and invited Ming Yuan, who was on vacation, to come celebrate together.

Two days before, upon learning of the twins’ birthday, Yina had flown straight over with her husband and child, planning an impromptu trip in the country.

Ji Chao, Ji Ze, and John got along famously. With him joining in, the boys would be very happy, so she didn’t refuse.

But she didn’t expect Ji Muye to stay as well.

Lu Xining spoke indifferently, “Mr. Ji, I’ll take the kids back to the Ji Family Mansion when it’s time. You can leave now.”

Ji Muye’s gaze fell on Yosen not far away, his deep-set eyes cold and composed, yet seemingly brewing tempestuous waves beneath.

“It’s Ji Chao and Ji Ze’s birthday, why did you call him over?”

The children had already gone off to play with Lu Nuonuo and John, the yard filled with toys brought by Ming Yuan, packed throughout the space.

All were birthday gifts for the two children.

Yosen’s family had also prepared gifts, and John represented them in giving the presents. The three kids, having only just met once, were as close as real brothers, with the sound of laughter unceasing.

“Big Brother, I’m scared.”

“Second Brother, here’s the little car for you.”

“Brother John…”

Lu Nuonuo sat in the toy car, surrounded by her three protecting brothers, their faces also unable to contain their smiles as they played with her.

Yina, having learned that Ming Yuan was Lu Xining’s close friend and an actress, had specifically searched for her work online.

To her surprise, she discovered a production Ming Yuan had been in, which she had seen before. However, Ming Yuan’s plain styling and special effects makeup in the drama were so unrecognizable that Yina hadn’t connected her to the radiant beauty before her.

Yina liked Lu Xining and, by extension, took a liking to Ming Yuan as well, recommending her to her director friend.

“She’s about to start filming a movie and is auditioning for actors. I think you are very suitable for the role of the third female lead.”

Ming Yuan had not expected that by attending her close friend’s sons’ birthday party, she would not only meet the world-famous scriptwriter Yina but also gain the private contact of an internationally renowned female director.

She was outgoing and never hesitated to express her emotions.

As she thanked Yina, Ming Yuan couldn’t help but shout towards Lu Xining, who was not far off, “Ningning, I really love you to death!”

Hearing the shout, Lu Nuonuo, with her big watery eyes, blinked and mimicked Ming Yuan’s gesture, cupping her hands to her mouth like a megaphone.

“Mommy, Nuonuo loves you too!”

Ji Chao and Ji Ze exchanged glances, then joined in shouting, “Mommy, I love you too—”

John, although he knew a bit of their language but wasn’t fluent, thought this was part of the game and mimicked Ji Chao and the others, shouting as well.

“Mama, I love you too—”

Yina and Yosen understood, but since Lu Xining had saved John’s life, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she was his reborn parents, so the couple didn’t find anything wrong with their son calling them that way.

However, this scene took on a different meaning in the eyes of Ji Muye.

His complexion suddenly darkened.

His deep and handsome eyes missed none of the emotions in Lu Xining’s eyes, and at the moment she lifted the corners of her mouth and waved to them, a thick layer of frost covered Ji Muye’s eyes, and his voice dropped several degrees.

“Lu Xining, you haven’t answered me yet.”

“My son is having a birthday, and I’ve invited friends over to celebrate it with him. What’s wrong with that?”

The smile on her face disappeared after seeing the indifference in the depths of Ji Muye’s eyes.

Lu Xining’s expression was indifferent; she found his question quite unreasonable.

“Ji Muye, go about your business.”

Whether it was work or spending time with Liu Xixi, as long as he didn’t linger around her.

Noticing the disdain on her face, Ji Muye felt as if the air around him was being snatched away, veins on his hand bulging, forcibly suppressed, not even noticing his phone vibrating in his pocket.

“So you’re so brazen now?”

Brazen?

Faced with Ji Muye’s misunderstanding, Lu Xining no longer wanted to explain.

She turned and headed towards her son and daughter.

Only two steps away, she heard footsteps from behind.@@novelbin@@

The man didn’t leave; he followed her.

“Lu Xining, I won’t let your man get close to my son!”

Ji Chao and Ji Ze were very happy.

Especially Ji Ze, after spending a lot of time with Lu Nuonuo, he had mastered her coquettish antics, hugging Ji Muye’s leg and looking up to ask him.

“Daddy, will you stay and celebrate our birthday with us too?”

Ji Chao, holding Lu Nuonuo who had just gotten off the toy car, filled his gaze with hope; he also wanted to celebrate his birthday with both mom and dad.

But he wasn’t asking Ji Muye, he was asking Lu Xining.

“Mama, can Daddy stay to celebrate our birthday with us?”

Ji Muye and Ji Ze both turned to look at Lu Xining, whose eyes sparkled with excitement, “Mama, can he?”

Faced with such a look from both children, Lu Xining couldn’t refuse.

She nodded her head.

Ji Ze immediately grabbed Ji Muye’s hand happily, “Yay! Finally, we can celebrate our birthday with both Mommy and Daddy this year~”

The speaker was unintentional; the listener was intentional.

Both Lu Xining and Ji Muye’s hearts tightened.

They exchanged glances and silently looked away.

There, Yina and Ming Yuan were already preparing the food, with Yosen sitting next to the barbecue grill, taking on the hefty job of grilling the meat.

The Lu Family’s backyard was very large.

In addition to the birthday-themed camping tents for the kids, there were also many child-friendly play facilities, all specially prepared for the children.

Seeing Ji Muye, Yosen’s eyes lit up, and he pulled him to grill the meat together.

He was a typical C-country person, very outgoing, didn’t feel awkward at all, and even started chatting with him about his lover and son.

Ji Muye’s hand pausing in flipping the skewers, his pale skin glistening under the sun, his godly gifted features shone brightly at this moment.

“Do you really love your wife and children?”

Ji Muye asked stiffly.

Yosen nodded, his face full of warmth, “Of course!”

“My wife and children are the warmest, most wonderful existence on this earth. I can’t even bear to think about living without them.”

He looked at Ji Muye with puzzlement and asked, “Don’t you love your wife and children?”

Ji Muye was momentarily speechless.

Just then, cries of Liu Xixi echoed from the Lu Family’s entrance, loudly calling out Ji Muye’s name, voice filled with tears.

“Aye, please, save me—”
