Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Do You Plan to Find a Stepfather for the Kids?

“Just this morning, the Li Family brought Shen Jiangqing back, and as for the specific reason, it has not yet been clarified!”

With all the wrongdoings Shen Jiangqing committed, sending her to prison would be no more than she deserved, yet now she was back with the Li Family?

What on earth was Li Lingyang thinking?

Or was it really Su Huimiao’s handiwork?

Ning Yichu’s anger flared up when she thought about today’s events, and her expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Ningning asked with concern when she noticed her discomfort.

Ning Yichu snapped back to reality, not wanting her daughter to worry about these things, “Nothing.”

“Mommy, don’t look at those nasty comments anymore. Those people don’t understand anything at all; they’re just blindly following the crowd. Reading these will only make you sadder, it’s better not to look!” Chen Bao mistakenly thought it was the news.

Ningning nodded in agreement, “Right, treat them all like they’re just air!”

“Okay.”

Ning Yichu nodded.

But in her heart, she was thinking about the recent events,

First, there was a bizarre kidnapping case, followed by the orphanage incident, and then suddenly the escalating public opinion!

These events seemed unrelated, but a myriad of connections seemed to exist between them…

At that moment, Mo Baiyou came over to explain the layout of the apartment.

The incredibly large flat, hundreds of square meters at a glance, was decorated in a grey and white color scheme, with a comfortable and luxurious minimalist style.

The view from the window displayed the beautiful scenery within the residential area, lush plants and flowers, with lotus ponds, as if they were a picturesque scene.

“Chu Chu, this is the master bedroom, you can sleep here with Ningning; Chen Bao can sleep in the adjacent secondary bedroom. This is the study, equipped with computers and internet, convenient for working.”

Chen Bao and Ningning, visiting for the first time, were filled with curiosity and began to explore.

Ning Yichu also followed and wandered around, eventually entering the study.

As soon as she entered, she was attracted by the portrait on the wall and looked surprised.

The person in the picture was dressed in a white coat, meticulously working with a scalpel, and because they wore a hat and mask, only a pair of glistening eyes were visible, but one could still see the seriousness.

This…

This figure looked like her!

But why had Mo Baiyou gone to the trouble of drawing it and hanging it here?

An answer seemed on the verge of revealing itself, and Ning Yichu’s heart skipped a beat, “Mr. Mo?”

“Chu Chu, last time you said I was confusing my feelings for you, but after spending these days together, I clearly know my feelings for you are not just gratitude for saving my life…”

Mo Baiyou stopped short, a hint of tension surfacing in his deep gaze, and asked deliberately, “So, Chu Chu, do you have any plans to find a stepfather for the kids?”

Ning Yichu hadn’t expected Mo Baiyou to persist until now…

The air in the study fell into silence.

“You see, my life is a mess right now, and the kids could face danger at any moment; I’m sorry, I probably never gave it a thought.”

“Exactly because of the dangers, if the kids had a stepfather, wouldn’t they be better protected?” Mo Baiyou gazed at her intently, speaking earnestly, “I believe I have both the ability and the sincerity to protect them.”

Even though Ning Yichu knew Mo Baiyou was sincere, she couldn’t lie to herself or to him…

She really wasn’t ready to accept him!

Agreeing to him now would be using him to protect the children.

Her silence conveyed everything to Mo Baiyou, who naturally understood what it meant.

Although he had braced himself for her rejection, it still pierced his heart, but he showed no sign of it on his face.

“It’s okay, being friends isn’t bad. Even if we have arguments and fall out, we can still make up. If we were lovers, that would really be troublesome. I’m such a straight man, I’d probably run out of ideas for making peace!”

Listening to his light-hearted tone, Ning Yichu felt a lot less burdened.

“If you ever argue with your girlfriend in the future, I can help you strategize on how to win her back!”

She really wasn’t leaving him any hope…

Mo Baiyou’s gaze dimmed, “Alright, I’ll rely on you then.”

“Uncle Mo Shuai, mommy, what are you guys discussing in the study?” Ningning called from the living room.

A shadow darkened in Mo Baiyou’s eyes, “Your mommy and I are discussing what to eat for dinner. Chen Bao, Ningning, do you have any suggestions?”

“Uncle Mo Shuai, I’m not picky, anything is fine!”

Chen Bao raised his hand, “Me too!”

Ning Yichu remembered seeing ingredients in the fridge when she was in the kitchen, so she planned to cook a sumptuous feast herself.

It was also a way to thank Mo Baiyou for stepping in today.

But what she didn’t expect was that as soon as she went in, Mo Baiyou followed, saying, “Let me help you.”

The kitchen suddenly became crowded.

Ning Yichu wanted to repay him; how could she let him lift a finger?

“No need, I can manage alone, why don’t you go and play with Chen Bao and the others?”

“They’re watching TV now, they don’t care about me, and I also don’t want you to work too hard, I just want to give you a hand.”

Mo Baiyou raised an eyebrow in return, “Or do you dislike having me around?”

Ning Yichu chuckled, “I’m just afraid this little kitchen would be a disgrace to the Great CEO of the Beiji Group.”

“The Chief Jade Sculptor of the Beiji Group doesn’t mind, so why should I? Just command me,” said Mo Baiyou, his gaze lingering on her face, teasingly cheering her up.

Ning Yichu’s mood was much improved, so she didn’t hold back and pointed to a bunch of greens on the washing stand, “Then start by picking these vegetables.”

“Alright.”

Mo Baiyou readily agreed.

Without any airs, he rolled up his sleeves after removing his exquisite Patek Philippe wristwatch and began helping.

In half an hour, working as a team, the kitchen was filled with appetizing aromas…

“Chen Bao, Ningning, dinner’s ready!”

Mo Baiyou brought out the freshly made dishes and called out to the living room.

“Okay!”

Ningning immediately pressed the pause button on the remote and ran over with short, quick steps, her stomach growling exaggeratedly as she eyed the delicious food on the table.

“Wow, Uncle Mo Shuai, Mommy, all this food, you two are amazing! Even the chefs at five-star hotels can’t compete with you!”

“Little girl, you have a sweet mouth, now go wash your hands!” Ning Yichu walked over and looked at her with indulgence.

“Okay Mommy, I’ll go right now…” Ningning ran off in that direction.

Chen Bao exchanged looks with mommy and Mo Baiyou, hesitant to speak, and finally went to the washroom.

During the meal, Mo Baiyou said, “Right, after we finish eating, check if there’s anything missing in the apartment, I’ll take you shopping at the supermarket in the residential area…”
