Chapter 25 A Rival Appears, Protecting Mommy
Wen Tingye didn't notice a small figure peeking out from the doorway, watching him and Lian Qiran.
After eavesdropping on a few sentences of the adults' conversation, Sanbao, disguised as Wen Aixiu, tiptoed back to the bedroom, quickly kicked off his slippers, and crawled into bed. He then used his electronic watch to contact Wen Aixiu.
“I heard Daddy talking to his friends about Mommy.” Sanbao recalled the few words he overheard when he passed by Daddy’s study and confirmed that he had heard Mommy’s name.
"Alright, we can begin implementing the second plan now."
After Wen Aixiu and Sanbao reached an agreement, they said goodnight to each other and hung up the video call.
The weather has been nice these past two days, with temperatures around 25 or 26 degrees Celsius. The sunshine feels warm on people.
Due to her injury, Ning Yao is recuperating at home. Company matters are mostly handled via video conference, while for offline contract signings, the person in charge has to visit in person with the documents.
A jet-black Maserati came to a steady stop outside the villa, and a refined-looking man in casual clothes stepped out of the car.
Chen Xuezong had already informed Ning Yao before arriving, and Chen's mother was waiting for her son outside the door at the appointed time.
After picking up her son, Chen's mother and Chen Xuezong chatted and laughed as they walked into the villa.
At this moment, Ning Yao sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, staring at the TV screen with a relaxed expression, while several children were playing on the other side. The combination of the hostess and the children created a warm and cozy scene.
Chen Xuezong took out the gifts he had prepared for the children and distributed them one by one, while casually ruffling the head of Sibao.
Apart from Wen Aixiu, the other children all recognized Chen Xuezong and greeted him with joy, sweetly saying, "Thank you, Uncle Xuezong."
Wen Aixiu felt awkward. He looked Chen Xuezong up and down, finding him increasingly displeasing.
Especially since the man had been staring at his mother intentionally or unintentionally ever since he entered the room, the love in his eyes was almost impossible to hide.
After distributing the gifts to the children, Chen Xuezong sat down familiarly on the sofa next to Ning Yao and asked her with concern.
"Is the wound any better? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
"Knowing you were coming, Aunt Chen cooked a pot of your favorite osmanthus and lotus root porridge early this morning. Go and have some first."
Ning Yao shook her head to indicate that she was fine. She picked up the black leather briefcase next to Chen Xuezong and started looking for documents on her own.
The familiar actions and expressions of the two made Wen Aixiu even more displeased.
This man named Chen Xuezong clearly has ulterior motives towards his mother and is undoubtedly his father's rival in love.
Chen Xuezong was about to get up when he noticed Wen Aixiu staring at him with a poker face. He immediately smiled and asked, "Do you miss your uncle?"
He was completely unaware that the Sanbao at this moment was no longer Sanbao, but Wen Aixiu, who had grown up by Wen Tingye's side since childhood. When he reached out to hug Wen Aixiu, he was dodged away in a flash, his movement as fast as if he were avoiding the plague.
Chen Xuezong reached out and missed, and was somewhat taken aback. He looked at Wen Aixiu, not understanding why Sanbao was suddenly so cold to him.
All of Sanbao's high-tech electronic devices were arranged by him, and they were all top-of-the-line products. Sanbao had always liked them very much. In the past, Sanbao would be very close to him when he saw him, but today he was acting strangely.
Ning Yao also found it strange that Sanbao wasn't sticking to his favorite Uncle Chen Xuezong anymore.
Seeing the two adults looking at Wen Aixiu suspiciously, the other children quickly came up to speak up for Wen Aixiu, afraid that he would be exposed.
"Brother said he wasn't feeling well when he woke up today," Si Bao explained to Wen Aixiu, her big, bright eyes wide open.
"Hmm, my brother won't let me hug him either, and he keeps running to the toilet." Little Liu was already easily embarrassed and blushed, and now that he was lying, his face flushed even more naturally, making him look soft, fluffy, and incredibly cute.
Seeing that his younger siblings were desperately covering for him, Wen Aixiu immediately raised his hand to cover his stomach, pretending to be in pain.
"I...I need to go to the restroom."
Ning Yao was skeptical, but watched the children run away in a flash. Then she focused her attention and began to read the documents.
The back garden of the villa, next to the cradle swing.
Xiao Wu started running and then suddenly stopped, her curly hair swaying gently, soft and bouncy.
He pulled Wen Aixiu aside and explained Chen Xuezong's identity to her.
"Uncle Chen Xuezong is Mommy's helper and a good friend over the years. He won't compete with Daddy for Mommy's affections. Please don't dislike him, okay? He has always been very good to us."
"Really?" Wen Aixiu was skeptical. He was always by Wen Tingye's side and his ability to read people was better than other children his age. Chen Xuezong's gaze towards his mother was clearly strange.
"Yes, it's true. Otherwise, Mommy would have been with Uncle Xuezong long ago. But they've always been good friends, and Mommy has never told us that she likes Uncle Xuezong."
“Every time Uncle Xuezong comes to visit us, he brings gifts. Third brother’s computer equipment was also bought by Uncle Xuezong through someone. He likes Uncle Xuezong very much.”
Listening to what her younger siblings said, Wen Aixiu reluctantly believed that Chen Xuezong had no ill intentions.
Besides, even if there were, with him by Mommy's side, he would never let any other man get his hands on her before his daddy.
Daddy and Mommy must stay together for their family to be complete!
Following Sanbao's polite and gentle manner, Wen Aixiu adjusted her expression and returned to the living room with her younger siblings.
When they returned to the living room, they found that Chen Xuezong had already left.
The children looked at each other in bewilderment, while Wen Aixiu winked at Sibao for a while.
Sibao quickly received the message, reacted, and opened its little arms to rush to Ning Yao's side.
"Mommy, can we go to the amusement park today?"
"It seems like it was two months ago when we went out to play. My mom got a phone call and had to call the driver to pick us up. She was busy with work at the company, so we didn't get to play."
Ning Yao felt a pang of guilt as she listened to the children's complaints.
Indeed, she has been extremely busy lately. Not to mention taking the children out to play, she has even had much less time to eat together.
Thinking of this, Ning Yao softened, raised her hand and ruffled the four children's hair, and said gently, "After Mommy finishes reading these documents, I'll take you to the amusement park, okay?"
The children cheered and rushed forward, giving Ning Yao a big kiss on her fair cheek.
When it was Wen Aixiu's turn, he felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't want anyone to notice anything unusual, so he awkwardly imitated his younger siblings, standing on tiptoe, stretching his neck, pouting his lips, and giving Ning Yao a kiss on the cheek.
