Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Brother, Does Your Face Hurt?

Ji Ze, who came over to get the water cup, immediately perked up his ears when he heard his dad’s name.

He slowed down quietly, knowing his father was at the resort. Without bothering to go to the living room to get the water cup, he quickly turned back to the children’s toy house to inform his brother and sister.

"Sister, didn’t you say you saw dad kissing another auntie?"

"I don’t believe dad would do that; we should go find dad and verify it. If you were wrong, you’ll have to include dad in your next drawing."

Ji Ze never wanted to believe that dad would do such things.

He wanted to verify it himself.

Lu Nuonuo put down the puzzle in her hands, her eyes sparkling as she saw the seriousness in her brother’s eyes, nodded and said, "Okay, let’s pinky promise."

Listening to the secrets and agreements between his younger brother and sister, Ji Chao reminded, "But mom and Uncle Fu are outside. If we sneak out, mom will definitely be angry."

"And we’re strangers here; if we get lost, mom will worry, and if we encounter bad people, we can’t protect ourselves."

Upon hearing their brother’s concerns, Little Dumpling and Ji Ze exchanged glances and dejectedly shrugged their shoulders.

Because they thought their brother made a lot of sense.

"We could call dad and ask him to come pick us up, right?"

Ji Ze thought he had come up with a brilliant idea. He immediately took out his children’s watch to call Ji Muye, but no one answered, which made him very sad.

Seeing that her brother really wanted to see their step-dad, Lu Nuonuo spun her eyes again and said, "Brother can call Uncle Ma."

Recently, the person constantly with Ji Muye has been Ma Sai.

Ji Ze’s hope was reignited by her words, and he hurriedly dialed Ma Sai’s number, just as the man was outside smoking, somewhat surprised by the call from the little tyrant of the Ji Family.

"You guys are here too?"

Ma Sai hadn’t expected Ji Chao and Ji Ze to be in Beicheng, and hurriedly passed the message back to Ji Muye.

In the silent private room.

After the third round of drinks, Ji Muye, still composed, watched the old foxes around him and listened to their continuous probing, with an indiscernible smile on his lips, always able to blur his way through any question asked.

Ji Muye glanced at Shang Qing, who was sitting directly opposite him. When he came in just now, there was still a palm print of a child on his shoulder, which had now been dried by the indoor temperature and could no longer be seen.

The small palm print made him think of his daughter far away in Fuxian, a gentle trace inevitably surfaced in his eyes.

The dinner today was not a matchmaking event but a game of power plays.

Upon entering this private room, all communication devices were not allowed, which is why Ji Ze’s calls to Ji Muye never went through.

As the first phase of communication ended, Ji Muye stood up to step out for some air.

Ma Sai quickly came over and told him that Lu Xining and the kids were in the resort area, Ji Muye slightly furrowed his brows, involuntarily thinking of the child’s handprint on Shang Qing’s shoulder.

Previously he just wondered how such a meticulous man could let a child make a handprint on his shoulder.

Now, considering Ma Sai’s words, just thinking that the little handprint might be from his own daughter made Ji Muye’s look even worse.

Given how much Lu Nuonuo cares for her mother, if Lu Xining dislikes someone, she definitely wouldn’t get close to them.

It’s evident since she still only calls him "uncle."

Ji Muye was dressed in a black suit today, his disheveled hair partly concealed the shadows in his pupils, making his eye contours look even more profound.

He asked in a deep voice, "Which building are they in?"

Ma Sai: "Building eight."

Secretary Cheng, who was always by Xi Juan’s side, came out to find him, "Mr. Ji, Old Xi is asking you to come back."

Ji Muye nodded.

He still couldn’t leave right now and his phone was temporarily off, he could only ask Ma Sai to reply to Ji Ze.

"I’ll come over later."

After speaking, he went back inside the private room to continue the ongoing conversation.

All the people in the private room were well-known superiors in the Beicheng circle, and the patrols at the door were elite, armed guards with sharp eyes like predatory hawks, not missing any strangers.

Even Ma Sai had to leave the villa in order to make a phone call, as all signals were blocked inside.

Receiving the message, Ji Ze’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he said with a smile, "Dad said he’ll come over later!"

Little Dumpling wasn’t veryjoyous about Ji Muye’s subsequent arrival, but seeing the excitement in her brother’s eyes, she nodded in agreement.

Ji Chao was also happy inside, after all, it had been a long time since he had seen his father, and he really missed him.

But time passed second by second, like flowing water.

As the sun was setting, Ji Muye still hadn’t arrived, and the disappointment was evident in Ji Ze’s eyes.

Thinking of the previous times Ji Muye had canceled on them because of other ladies, Lu Nuonuo pouted and pulling on Ji Ze’s sleeve whispered, "Brother, is Dad going out with another lady?"

A cheap father with a history!

Ji Ze hesitated and said, "I, I don’t know, but since Dad promised to come over, he surely wouldn’t break the promise."

He turned his head to his mischievously clever sister, grabbed her two Little Jiu Jius and said, "Nuonuo, you shouldn’t sow discord, Dad will surely come, he wouldn’t cancel on us for another lady."

However, half an hour later, seeing Ji Muye appear with Zhuang Tian, Ji Ze fell silent.

Lu Nuonuo held Ji Ze’s hand and murmured, "Brother, does your face hurt?"

Ji Ze: "..." The slap came too quickly.

She lay on the couch watching the living room, where Ji Muye was talking to Lu Xining about wanting to see the kids, turning her head only to see her two Little Jiu Jius wobbling cutely.

Little Dumpling said to Ji Ze with a smile, "Brother, Nuonuo can puff on your cheek to make it better."

Ji Ze still wanted to deny it, but then he heard Little Dumpling saying that the person who previously kissed his father was that lady outside.

He felt like his dream of a family of five reuniting was crashing down.

Ji Chao was calmer, patting his brother’s shoulder and said reassuringly, "Maybe she’s just a friend of Dad’s, let’s go out and ask."

He was about to take his sister’s hand to go out together, but she shook off his hand and refused.

"Nuonuo won’t go, you guys go ahead."

She returned to the children’s toy house accompanying the villa, where there were many intriguing toys, and Lu Nuonuo picked a little horse to sit on, waving at Ji Chao and Ji Ze very breezily.

Entertaining herself was no big deal for her.

Ji Chao and Ji Ze exchanged glances.

Ji Ze frowned, wanting to persuade his sister, but heard his brother saying, "Xiao Ze, we need to respect our sister’s choice, let’s go out and ask Dad. If there’s been any misunderstanding, let Dad come and explain to her."

After thinking it over, he chose to give up and nodded.

The two had just stepped out of the children’s toy house when they saw Ji Muye and Zhuang Tian holding hands together.

They were stunned on the spot.
