Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 621: Afraid Some Scheming Is Needed

"Otherwise, why do you think we know your every move?" the stranger said, "It’s because we’ve been keeping a close watch on Ye Ning and knew that she contacted you."

"So, you don’t need to worry. As long as you have no dealings with Ye Ning, my young master won’t bother you."

Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "After all, according to Ye Ning, this concerns my family, so I must cautiously investigate. It’s precisely because I had doubts about what she said that I need to get to the bottom of it."

"If there’s any offense, please convey my apologies to your young master. I have no intention nor dare to offend him."

The stranger nodded, looking at Mrs. Liu with some newfound respect.

He hadn’t expected Mrs. Liu to be such a measured and clever person.

Previously, according to the investigation report, it said that Mrs. Liu wouldn’t allow Boss Liu to father sons elsewhere, which led to big arguments.

As for other descriptions, there were none, so the stranger subconsciously thought Mrs. Liu was just like any other wealthy lady, but she turned out to be quite shrewd.

"Rest assured, I will convey your words."

Mrs. Liu truly couldn’t completely relax.

Even though the stranger said his young master wouldn’t pursue it.

But who knows?

Perhaps when they say they won’t pursue it, they mean a minor warning.

It’s not exactly how she understood it, as if there would be no consequences at all.

So Mrs. Liu cautiously stated, "I’ll immediately book the next available flight back to Ye City. If there’s anything I can help with, please feel free to ask."

"Though I’m just a woman without much ability, I do have some connections in Ye City. While I can’t do much else, I can still offer some help against Ye Ning."

The stranger looked at Mrs. Liu with approving eyes, truly a bit impressed.

"I will pass on your message, and if there’s a need, my young master will contact you."

Mrs. Liu thought for a moment and hesitantly said, "Should I leave my contact information?"

The stranger chuckled, "We have your every move under control. Do you think we don’t already have your contact info?"

A sense of fear began to creep into Mrs. Liu’s heart.

A chill ran down her spine, goosebumps rising on her skin.

What the stranger said was true.

If they knew so much about her whereabouts, they certainly knew how to contact her too.

With every aspect of her life in someone’s hands, Mrs. Liu felt truly afraid.

Fortunately, she had been cautious, only coming to observe.

She hadn’t planned to do anything to Xiao Mo, just intending to investigate thoroughly before making any decisions, which let her escape unharmed.

Otherwise, who knows what that young master mentioned by the stranger might have done to her.

"I’ve delivered the message, have a safe journey back to Ye City," the stranger said.

Mrs. Liu quickly nodded and immediately drove to the airport without delay.

The stranger still followed, ensuring Mrs. Liu went to the airport and took the next flight back to Ye City.

Only then did the stranger call Zhao Gushen, "Mr. Shen, it’s handled. That Mrs. Liu is quite smart; after she returns, she might plan against Ye Ning."

Xiao Mo had no idea he’d been investigated.

He carefreely returned home, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Ye Fei already waiting at the entrance.

Xiao Mo immediately dashed toward Ye Fei’s leg. Actually, Xiao Mo’s height now exceeded Ye Fei’s leg.

Holding onto Ye Fei’s leg wasn’t as comfortable as before.

But Xiao Mo still tried hard, bending his knees, holding onto Ye Fei’s leg like a koala.

"Xiao Fei, I missed you so much."

Ye Fei couldn’t help but laugh at the little guy’s reaction, as if he’d been away for a long time.

In reality, he’d only been away for less than a day, just going to the kindergarten.

"You didn’t misbehave today, right? Did you tease Uncle Qiu on the way?" Ye Fei asked with a smile.

"Of course not!" Xiao Mo’s fair little face showed a sly fox-like expression.

"Of course, I didn’t misbehave. I’m so obedient; you can ask Uncle Qiu."

Ye Fei smiled and looked at Qiu Xingwen, who nodded and said, "The little master was very well-behaved in the car, and he didn’t even eat the snacks. He said that you mentioned if he ate snacks before a meal, he wouldn’t have an appetite for dinner, so he held back."

Qiu Xingwen had prepared various snacks and drinks in the car to keep Xiao Mo entertained on the way.

However, Xiao Mo didn’t eat much.

"This morning, when we went to kindergarten, I showed the principal a photo of your and dad’s marriage certificate," Xiao Mo said, looking up.

Ye Fei: "..."

"Why did you show the principal that?"

"To let the principal know that you’re officially married, so he doesn’t have to be anxious, wondering when you might break up. Also, to prevent the principal from thinking dad is my stepdad, not my biological dad. Such misunderstandings aren’t good. What if the principal made some wrong assumptions and did something because of it? Wouldn’t that be a problem for the principal? So, it’s better to tell him," Xiao Mo explained.

Ye Fei couldn’t help but feel helpless at this little guy’s odd logic.

"Did the principal really doubt dad isn’t your biological father?" Ye Fei couldn’t help but ask.

"It’s just a misunderstanding," Xiao Mo didn’t want to cause trouble for the principal, who was behaving well now.

As for guessing that she and Zhao Gushen might break up at some point.

Ye Fei could understand.

After all, many people did think that.

Many people thought there was too much difference between her and Zhao Gushen to end up together.

Ye Fei had long gotten used to it and didn’t take it to heart.

After all, this was her and Zhao Gushen’s business, and as long as the two of them understood, it was enough.

"How did you explain it to the principal? Was it the same explanation dad gave at the wedding?" Ye Fei asked again.

Xiao Mo immediately shook his head, "No, good children don’t lie, so I didn’t explain anything."

Ye Fei just started to feel a bit gratified when she heard Xiao Mo cunningly say, "Anyway, the principal has a big imagination, let him guess for himself."

Ye Fei: "..."

At this moment, Qiu Xingwen was about to take his leave.

"Wait a second," Ye Fei said, asking Qiu Xingwen to wait a moment.

She went to the kitchen and brought out a box of pastries to give to Qiu Xingwen, "I just baked these this afternoon. Take them and try them. They’re a new recipe, and I think they taste good, but I still need to hear others’ feedback."

"Try them and let me know," Ye Fei said.

Zhao Gushen and Xiao Mo always said whatever she made was delicious, which wasn’t objective enough.

Since she no longer ran her private kitchen, she couldn’t have guests taste test, so she had to let those around her try.

"Moreover, thank you for the hard work of picking up and dropping off Xiao Mo every day."

Although her own child was well-behaved and cute, Ye Fei knew sometimes the little guy could be quite a handful.

Qiu Xingwen had to deal with him every day, not knowing how much teasing he endured from the little guy along the way.

"Thank you, ma’am." Qiu Xingwen gratefully accepted.
