Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!-Chapter 24 - : Ex-Husband Getting Married Again?

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Ex-Husband Getting Married Again?

Compared to his excitement and joy,

Ji Chao’s heart tightened with some worry as he looked at Lu Xining.

Lu Nuonuo also hugged her neck tighter, her fair little face nuzzling close to her cheek as she softly spoke.

“Nuonuo loves Mommy the most.”

Lu Xining smiled reassuringly, “Mommy is fine.”

She led them toward the private room they had reserved.

...

On the way, they passed Ji Muye’s private room and vaguely heard phrases like “picking a date,” “both families having a meal together,” and “getting the registration”, but Lu Xining kept walking forward with the children, not noticing the man in the room watching her.

Ji Ze, although playful, listened well to his brother.

When he wanted to go find his father but was stopped by Ji Chao, he knew it wasn’t the right time to see Ji Muye and stayed contently by Lu Xining’s side.

The three little ones were well-behaved at the meal.

Ji Chao would pick food for Lu Nuonuo, and Ji Ze would imitate him; the bond between the siblings deepened.

When they left the restaurant,

a black Maybach was already parked at the entrance; the window rolled down to reveal Ji Muye’s austere profile. He looked at Lu Xining with an emotion she could not decipher, but she didn’t probe further.

Tomorrow would be another weekend.

She had wanted to take the two children back to her place for a couple of days, but Ji Muye said they needed to return to the old house tomorrow.

Lu Xining could only send them off in the car.

She walked back with her daughter; the driver was already waiting for them.

Seeing that she didn’t ask any questions and just left, the man’s suspended heart sank little by little, his eyes filled with unfathomable darkness.

Over the following week,

Lu Xining accelerated the preparation of the custody documents.

Through the time spent together, she could feel the children’s increasing reliance on her and had subtly asked if they would like to live with her.

Although the children hesitated, they didn’t resist.

This gave her more confidence.

Even if she didn’t win the lawsuit this time, once Ji Muye and Liu Xixi got married, given Liu Xixi’s temperament, she would certainly get pregnant as soon as possible to secure her position as the Young Madam of the Ji Family.

Once Ji Muye had other children…

She would still have a chance!

Ming Yuan was stunned for a while when she heard her plan before recovering.

She was happy for Lu Xining.

“Ningning, although you used to say you hated your ex-husband very much, where there is hate, there is lingering love, but now you’ve changed.”

Ming Yuan and her assistant waited by the elevator door.

When the elevator arrived, she went straight in, not noticing the presence of anyone else, dressed in a duckbill cap, sunglasses, and mask.

She wore earphones, her head bowed, continuing the video call with Lu Xining.

“You’re actually looking forward to your ex-husband marrying that mistress!”

“I can’t believe it!”

After chatting with Lu Xining for a while and expressing a desire to video call Lu Nuonuo, the little one greeted her sweetly as “Godmother”.

When talking to children, adults always can’t help but make silly voices.

Ming Yuan was no exception.

Suddenly, a surprised “Uncle” from Lu Nuonuo sounded in her ears.

Ming Yuan: “???”

She turned around and met Ji Muye’s chilling, indifferent eyes; her heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding exploded in her mind.

She was relieved that she was fully disguised and that the video was through earphones. She stiffly turned back, silently praying that Ji Muye didn’t know who she was.

But the next second…

The man’s deep voice reached her: “Miss Ming.”

Ming Yuan: “…” Done for!

That night,

the black Maybach appeared downstairs at Lu Xining’s home.

Lu Nuonuo, perched on the sofa by the master bedroom’s floor-to-ceiling window, brightened at the sight of the man leaning on the car. She glanced at the bathroom door with someone still showering, hesitated for a moment, then tiptoed out.

Wearing slippers and hugging her little deer chair, she trotted to the elevator door, climbed onto the chair to press the elevator button.

The elevator traveled from the third floor to the ground floor.

She emerged, still holding the little deer chair, walked to the main door, and climbed onto the chair again to press the intercom.

Soon, the house door opened, and so did the outer courtyard gate.

Lu Nuonuo propped the chair against the door, changed into her silver crystal shoes at the entryway, and happily ran outside.

Ji Muye was just about to leave when he saw the courtyard door open.

A small figure was running towards him.

Lu Nuonuo hugged Ji Muye’s leg tightly, looking up at him excitedly with a soft voice, as if cooing.

The little one called out to him repeatedly, “Uncle, Uncle.”

She opened her arms toward Ji Muye, asking to be held.

She happily kicked her legs while being lifted up, wrapping her arms around Ji Muye’s neck and peering into the back seat of the car.

Lu Nuonuo called out to the back seat, “Brother?”

The little one in his arms smelled of shower gel, with a lingering scent of baby formula, sweet and pleasant.

Ji Muye noticed that she was only wearing a onesie and frowned slightly as he took off his suit jacket from the back seat and wrapped her up securely.

He explained, “Brother is at home.”

Lu Nuonuo was wrapped in the suit jacket, her fair little face peeking out, blinking with sudden realization.

So the bargain dad came specially to see her.

“Did Uncle come to see Nuonuo?”

Before Ji Muye could reply, his cheek was softened with the little one’s kiss, accompanied by a brilliant and sunny smile.

Upstairs, in the bedroom.

Lu Xining came out and didn’t see Lu Nuonuo, her heart tightening.

“Nuonuo?”

She called her daughter’s name while pulling out her phone to check the surveillance.

Seeing her daughter taking the elevator downstairs and going out, her face turned pale instantly. Without bothering to put on a coat, she hurried downstairs in search of the child.

Ji Muye was walking inside while holding the child.

Seeing the woman hurrying out in slippers, he couldn’t help but feel the scene was all too familiar.

Just minutes before, the little one in his arms had done the same.

Truly… like mother, like daughter.

Lu Xining, upon seeing her daughter in Ji Muye’s arms, relaxed her tense and worried emotions, and suddenly her legs seemed to lose all strength.

If Ji Muye hadn’t grabbed her, she would have fallen to the ground.

She trembled as she stood up, “Tha-thank you.”

Ji Muye gripped her arm, a gust of cold wind blew by, and Lu Xining, in her camisole nightgown, got goosebumps on her arms.

Lu Nuonuo reached out to Lu Xining, “Mommy.”

“Lu Nuonuo, who allowed you to run downstairs alone, do you know Mommy, Mommy…”

Lu Xining’s voice was tearful; she had never imagined her daughter would suddenly run downstairs—this had never happened before!

Seeing Lu Xining hadn’t yet regained her strength and was about to pick up her daughter, he looked at her displeased, his voice full of reproach.

“Aren’t you afraid of falling and hurting the child like this?”

Lu Xining wanted nothing more than to hold her daughter in her arms urgently, and the little one sensed her mother’s distress, stretching out to hug Lu Xining.

The man didn’t let go of holding Lu Nuonuo, worried she might fall and hurt the child, and with his other hand, he still gripped the woman who hadn’t fully recovered her strength.

The positions between the three were somewhat awkward.

Seeing the goosebumps on Lu Xining’s arms, he held the child with one hand and directly pulled her into the house with the other, guiding her to sit on the sofa.

Lu Nuonuo dove into Lu Xining’s embrace, rubbing her mother’s face with her soft cheek and gently tapping her chest.

“Mommy don’t be scared, Nuonuo is here.”

Lu Xining spoke seriously, “Lu Nuonuo, who let you run out secretly, didn’t Mommy tell you not to leave the room?”

Lu Nuonuo also realized she had done wrong and hung her head in dejection, quickly admitting her mistake.

“I’m sorry, Mommy.”

Her daughter was only a little over a year old, and it was something she hadn’t anticipated.

Seeing her daughter bow her head in admission, Lu Xining couldn’t bring herself to be stern.

She lifted the little one onto her lap and spoke more gently, “Mommy should also apologize to Nuonuo, I shouldn’t have left you alone in the room.”

Lu Nuonuo shook her head, feeling that her mommy had done nothing wrong.

She was still wearing Ji Muye’s suit jacket, her little face nestling inside it, whispering in explanation, “Uncle was downstairs.”

“Nuonuo went to pick up Brother.”

Lu Xining couldn’t help but feel a stinging sensation in her eyes, slightly reddening.

“So Nuonuo went to pick up Brother, what a good child, but next time you can’t run out by yourself in the middle of the night, Mommy will worry, okay?”

The little one obediently nodded her head.

It was only then that Lu Xining turned to ask Ji Muye the reason for his late visit, but the man simply said he forgot that the two children weren’t here today.

She was full of question marks.
