"Hurry up and leave, lest someone comes looking for you."
After Su Qing finished speaking, she headed toward her room with Xiao Bai following close behind her, seemingly unbothered by her attempts to shoo it away; it didn’t run.
When Su Qing entered her room, Xiao Bai followed her in and, making itself at home, jumped up onto Su Qing’s bed to lie down and watch her.
Su Qing smiled helplessly. She really didn’t understand why this little guy was so enthusiastic about her from their first meeting, seemingly becoming attached to her.
Without paying any further attention to Xiao Bai, Su Qing walked toward the bathroom.
In the courtyard, Mo Yunchen’s car entered the villa’s grounds, and Mo Yuchu and Mo Yuyan ran out from inside the house. Seeing Mo Yunchen stepping out of the car with his tall, slender figure like a Heavenly God, Mo Yuchu quickly ran into her father’s embrace.
"Daddy, why did you come back so late today?"
Mo Yunchen hugged his daughter’s small, soft body, and a strangely familiar scent briefly reached his nose, faint, almost negligible. Mo Yunchen sniffed again, and the scent had already dissipated. He smiled wryly and shook his head at the thought that he had caught a whiff of Qinqin’s scent on his daughter, that unique scent that belonged to her.
Qin Qin had a very unique scent, one of a kind, extremely pleasant, fresh and sweet. Even Mo Yuchu and Mo Yuyan had only a hint of her scent, and others who had used the Beauty Ointment she had made would have a barely similar scent, nowhere near hers.
"Daddy was very busy today, but I promise I won’t come back this late next time."
Mo Yunchen’s handsome face softened as he looked at his daughter and son.
Mo Yuchu planted a kiss on Mo Yunchen’s cheek, and he smiled softly, "Daddy isn’t tired."
A single word from his daughter melted his heart.
Putting down his daughter, Mo Yunchen took the hands of his daughter and son and walked inside.
"Daddy, have you eaten?" asked Mo Yuyan, looking up at Mo Yunchen with his youthful voice.
Mo Yunchen shook his head, and Steward Wei hurriedly instructed someone to prepare dinner.
Mo Yunchen sat at the dining table with Mo Yuchu and Mo Yuyan sitting across from him, watching him eat.
"Do you want more?" Mo Yunchen put down his chopsticks and looked at his daughter who was staring at him.
Mo Yuchu shook her head, "Chuer can’t eat anymore. Sister said Chuer can’t eat anymore, otherwise Chuer’s tummy will hurt."
Mo Yunchen looked at Mo Yuchu with a warm smile, "Who is this sister?"
"Sister is..." Mo Yuchu covered her mouth, shook her head, "Chuer can’t say, sister will be unhappy."
Mo Yunchen stared at Mo Yuchu covering her mouth and shaking her head, a flash crossing his eyes.
Mo Yuyan looked at Mo Yunchen and took his sister Mo Yuchu’s hand, "Dad, I’m taking my sister upstairs to read."
Fearing that his sister might inadvertently reveal their sister’s secret, Mo Yuyan quickly spoke to Mo Yunchen, and they headed upstairs holding hands as soon as he nodded in approval.
After Mo Yuchu and Mo Yuyan left, Mo Yunchen turned to Steward Wei, "Who is the ’sister’ Chuer mentioned? Did something happen today?"
Steward Wei approached Mo Yunchen and spoke quietly, "The ’sister’ Miss Chuer mentioned is a maid in the villa. Today... it seems that Miss Chuer and Young Master Yan have become very close to that maid."
Mo Yunchen’s narrow phoenix eyes looked at Steward Wei.
Close? He knew his daughter and son the best; except for him and a few people like Lu Xuezhen, they absolutely wouldn’t get close to anyone. Why were they suddenly so close to a maid?
Mo Yunchen’s deep, seductive voice rang out, and Steward Wei bowed his head to answer, "She is named Lee Yue, and she has only been at the villa for a few months. She has only her father at home, and her background is straightforward, with no issues."
Anyone who entered the villa was thoroughly checked, as they feared someone with ulterior motives might try to infiltrate the villa.
Mo Yunchen nodded indifferently.
"I have already arranged for her to leave the villa tomorrow."
Mo Yunchen stood up and headed upstairs, while Steward Wei let out a sigh of relief and ordered someone to clear the dinner plates.
Mo Yunchen walked to the second floor and stopped at his children’s bedroom door. Pushing the door open, he saw both little figures huddled together whispering, but they abruptly separated when he entered, as if they had been caught plotting mischief, looking adorably guilty.
"What are you plotting?" Mo Yunchen walked into the room.
Mo Yuchu and Mo Yuyan shook their heads in unison, "Chuer and brother were not plotting anything, daddy. Chuer and brother are tired; we’re going to rest."
Having said that, Mo Yuchu, with her small frame, pushed Mo Yunchen towards the door. He let himself be guided out of the room by her.
