Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Her Four-Piece Set is Dirty!

Disdain accumulated between her brows, spreading through her entire body; she felt her four-piece bedding set was dirty!

She had stayed by her daughter’s side all night, and it was only after various treatments that her temperature had dropped to normal.

Absorbed in caring for her daughter, she hadn’t noticed her phone had run out of charge and switched off. As soon as she turned it on, she saw the photos sent by the housekeeper.

She saw there were messages from Ji Chao on her phone, and was just about to reply when she heard her assistant hurrying towards her.

“Professor Lu, Nuonuo has woken up.”

Lu Xining hurried back to the hospital ward in the lab.

As she walked, she sent a voice message. The child was now at the Lu Family and protected by Ji Muye, so nothing could go wrong.

Little Dumpling had woken up after a night of fever and immediately pouted with grievance, reaching out for a hug from Lu Xining.

Lu Xining pulled her daughter into her embrace, kissing her forehead and cheeks; her heart that had been suspended all night finally settled.

“Don’t be afraid, Nuonuo, Mommy is here.”

The little one hugged her neck tightly, with great strength. Lu Xining did not pull away, allowing her to cling tight.

She paced back and forth in the ward with her daughter in her arms.

Lu Nuonuo’s soft and plump cheeks rubbed against her neck, her voice still weak from illness.

“Mommy…”

Although the Little Dumpling’s fever had subsided, her body was still a bit warm. Children always cling more when they’re ill; her hand held on to Lu Xining without letting go.

After comforting her for a while, her daughter fell asleep on her shoulder. Lu Xining wanted to put her down on the sickbed, but the child would not let go of her hand.

She had no choice but to take off her shoes and sleep with her daughter.

Having not slept all night, embracing the soft little one in her arms, Lu Xining soon fell asleep too.

Lu Nuonuo woke up again in the middle of the night without crying or fussing, and upon seeing her mother lying beside her, she cautiously leaned over to kiss her cheek and then lay back down.

Gradually, she buried her head in Lu Xining’s embrace and fell asleep with a look of contentment.

Meanwhile, at the Lu Family’s home.

After Ji Muye woke up, it was already dark outside.

He had slept exceptionally soundly, undisturbed by any nightmares, which rejuvenated his spirit.

Just as he was about to contact his secretary to arrange his work, he saw a message on his phone.

It was a voice message from Lu Xining.

“Xiao Chao, I’m sorry, your sister fell ill, and Mommy was in the hospital and didn’t notice the phone was turned off.

You and Xiao Ze take care of yourselves, and once your sister recovers, Mommy will bring her back to see you guys.”

Ji Chao, who had just woken up with messy hair, rubbed his sleepy eyes. Hearing Lu Xining’s voice on the phone instantly woke him up.

Excitedly, he said, “Dad, I think I heard Mommy’s voice.”

Ji Muye played the message for him several times, and only then did Ji Chao feel a bit relieved, yet he was still concerned about Lu Nuonuo’s health.

“Dad, sister is sick…”

Having confirmed that their mom and sister had not been in a car accident, Ji Chao and Ji Ze were finally able to relax.

Wanting to see their mom and sister at the earliest opportunity, Ji Chao and Ji Ze cajoled Ji Muye, asking to stay at the Lu Family for the next few days.

After all, the Lu Family had butlers, maids, and bodyguards at their disposal.

Ji Muye knew it made no difference if the two children stayed here or at the Ji Family’s; the butler would take bodyguards to pick them up from school, ensuring their safety.

The bodyguards Lu Xining hired emanated a strong sense of danger and possessed extraordinary skills; their abilities had been showcased back in Yunqiao Village.

At that moment, Ji Muye realized that Lu Xining seemed to have genuinely made all arrangements for after she took custody.

Not wanting the children to be lonely, Ji Muye would come over to have dinner with the two children in the evening and wait until they fell asleep before leaving.

Because this bout of fever had come on suddenly, Lu Xining had stayed with her daughter in the lab hospital ward for five days, waiting until she was fully recovered before bringing her home.

Ji Chao and Ji Ze’s stay in her bedroom had been reported to her by the butler, including the fact that Ji Muye would come over to have dinner with the children.

When she returned to the Lu Family home, it was already Friday evening and dinnertime as she arrived.

In the living room, Ji Chao and Ji Ze, who were playing with Lego blocks, immediately turned around at the sound of the door. Such occurrences had become frequent over the past few days.

This time, they finally saw the person they had been longing for.

“Mommy,” Ji Chao and Ji Ze called out to her at the same time.

Lu Xining’s motion of changing shoes halted, and her eyes immediately moistened as she looked at the two children. She discreetly turned her face to wipe away tears, then smiled and nodded at them.

“Xiao Chao, Xiao Ze, Mommy’s back.”

Lu Nuonuo in her arms, upon seeing her two brothers, immediately climbed down from her embrace, shouting “Brother” as she lunged into their arms.

Ji Chao and Ji Ze caught her without delay.

They remembered what their mother had said over the phone: the little sister was sick.

“Sister, do you still feel unwell?” Ji Chao held her and checked her all over, but found no wounds.

Ji Ze also looked her over attentively, and the concern in his eyes made Lu Nuonuo warm up to him a little.

Today, she wore a light mint dress, slung a pink candy bag across her shoulder, and her black, shiny hair cascaded over her shoulders, with bangs that made her eyes sparkle even more, making her look both well-behaved and tender.

Lu Xining took her luggage upstairs, and after putting things away, she glanced over the four-piece bedding set on the bed and decided to have the maid change it to a new set.

When she came down from upstairs, she saw Ji Muye playing Lego blocks with the three children.

His suit jacket was taken off and laid on the sofa, with the sleeves of his white shirt casually rolled up by the man.

Having changed into a clean set of home clothes, Lu Xining walked down the stairs only to be immediately surrounded by the three children.

The three little ones hugged her, all shouting in unison, “Mommy!”

She squat down to give each one a kiss and led them toward the dining room.

From the butler, she learned that Ji Muye had been coming over to have dinner with his sons every day, waiting until they fell asleep before leaving.

“Brother, eat meat,” Lu Nuonuo said.

Sitting in the high chair, Lu Nuonuo ate deliciously, with a mouthful of vegetables, a mouthful of meat, a mouthful of egg custard, another mouthful of meat, and she didn’t forget to offer meat to her two brothers.

Lu Xining watched her daughter eat with a great appetite, laughing as she took the grains of rice sticking to her cheeks and wiped clean the dirt around her mouth.

“Eat slowly, no one is fighting with you for food.”

Lu Nuonuo, holding her own small spoon, had her round eyes smiling into crescents, looking incredibly endearing.

She said to the person beside her, “Brother, eat more.”

Seeing how deliciously their sister was eating, the two brothers’ appetite improved and they ate an extra bowl of rice than usual.

Ji Muye quietly took note of this.

Ji Muye and Lu Xining each served food to the three children, at this moment they were nothing but parents caring for their children.

If only time could stop at this moment, Ji Chao and Ji Ze thought to themselves.

Fortunately, the weekend was coming up, so Ji Chao and Ji Ze could stay.

Before Ji Muye left, he inquired about the car accident. Lu Xining only said that someone was looking into it, but she actually had a suspect in mind, just no evidence yet.

She led a simple life and had never made a public appearance, nor had she made any enemies over the years.

The only one who regarded her as a thorn in the eye was Liu Xixi.

This woman wished nothing more than for her to die.

Before leaving that day, the look Liu Xixi gave her was clearly more unsettling than before.

Ji Muye, keenly sensing the change in her expression, asked, “Do you already have a suspect in mind?”

Then, a low and magnetic male voice reached Lu Xining’s ears.
