Ye Ning stared at him blankly, momentarily unable to collect her thoughts.
It wasn’t until Little Baozi tugged at her clothes that she snapped out of it, hastily waving her hands, "It’s nothing, it’s nothing. If it weren’t for you today, I don’t know what would have happened to Xiaobao in the hospital. I should be the one saying thank you."
She actually didn’t blame him?
Ou Mucen’s handsome features looked at her, partly profound, partly inquisitive.
Being gazed at with such intensity, Ye Ning struggled to hold his stare. Hastily grabbing her son’s hand, she didn’t dare to ask what impact the Bai Family’s sudden appearance would have on him or what kind of disadvantage it could bring to him. Lowering her head, she quickly said, "Then, we’ll be leaving first."
After speaking, without waiting for his agreement, she took her son’s hand and headed towards the exit.
However, Xiaobao, pulled by her, turned his little head back to look at the uncle still standing there, "Uncle, can I still come here to keep you company later on?"
He was actually talking about keeping him company?
Upon hearing this, Ye Ning became even more embarrassed, "Xiaobao, what are you talking about? Why would Uncle need your company?"
"Why wouldn’t he need my company? I’ve been with him all afternoon today. He’s all alone in the apartment, it’s so desolate. If I’m here with him, then he won’t feel lonely, right Uncle?"
How could this child say such things?
And how could this man possibly be lonely or desolate? He chose to live here because he couldn’t stand the noise and scheming of his own home and decided to move here.
And doesn’t this little rascal understand that the only reason he spent the whole afternoon here with this man was precisely because the uncle was keeping him company?
Ye Ning was so mortified she wanted to crawl into a hole, "I’m sorry, Third Young Master, he’s still young and doesn’t quite understand..."
"He’s not wrong. It is indeed quite bleak here," Mucen said.
"Come over on the weekend, and by the way, you can clean up my place a bit." After saying that, he casually glanced at the broom still lying on the floor, then turned and walked to his bedroom without another look at her.
Ye Ning was flabbergasted!
What was this about? Agreeing to let her child come over and then asking her to come and clean for free?
She was just his assistant. Since when did her job include cleaning his apartment too?!!
Ye Ning felt an urge to wallop her son...
Leaving the apartment building, Ye Ning took her son straight out of the complex, preparing to hail a taxi on the roadside.
But what she hadn’t expected was that the very moment she and Xiaobao emerged from the apartment, two figures stepped out from the shadows of the garden. Upon seeing the mother and son, the slightly taller and fuller-figured one’s eyes glinted with extreme anger and ferocity.
"Madam, didn’t I say there was something off about that cleaner? Look, that child, he’s hers!"
"What cleaner? To slap Bai Wei for the sake of a child, do you think that woman is just a cleaner?"
The woman who had witnessed the scene was shaking with rage, and the look in her eyes was as if she couldn’t wait to tear the other woman apart right then and there.
Their vantage point had been very clear, so they had seen perfectly well that the child was the same one who had appeared at the Blue Mountain Villa before!
