Chapter 365: Chapter 365: All Three Cubs Misunderstood

"Brother, are you asleep?"

"No." Ji Chao was more mature than his younger brother, but he was still just a child.

Ji Ze, resting his head on his hand, said in confusion and dilemma, "Brother, do you think dad really wants to find us a stepmom?"

Before Ji Chao could answer his question, Ji Ze answered himself, "But I don’t want a stepmom, I just want my own mom."

Hearing his younger brother’s response, Ji Chao felt the same way, but he also understood that adults have their own thoughts, and both dad and mom loved them very much. As their child, he didn’t want to bind them with kinship.

Grandpa had told them that everyone needs to become themselves first, and then a son, a parent, a brother, and other identities.

It should be the same with dad and mom.

They need to be themselves first, and then be his, his brother’s, and sister’s dad and mom.

"Xiao Ze, if dad really likes that auntie, we should respect dad’s choice, just like we respect mom and sister living apart from us, it won’ change the fact that he’s our dad."

Ji Ze’s heart twisted, and he said anxiously, "But my classmates say, even with a stepdad, mom is still mom, but once there’s a stepmom, dad might not necessarily be our dad anymore."

He inexplicably thought of the TV drama he had recently watched with Great Grandpa. In the show, a man who married a new wife only treated the daughter brought by the new wife well, but his own daughter and son didn’t even have warm clothes; their winter clothes were far too thin, it was heartbreaking to see.

Obviously, Ji Ze had forgotten his own family background.

Given the wealth his mom and dad left for him and Ji Chao, even if his dad remarries seven or eight wives, he and Ji Chao would never lack new clothes.

Ji Chao didn’t know his brother was projecting himself into the roles from the TV series. Thinking about what he said, it seemed somewhat reasonable; he saw other classmates become very unhappy after their parents divorced.

But then he thought, no, his parents had been divorced for over two years, and life for him and his brother was still wonderful.

With the return of their mom, their life had become even more wonderful.

The conflicted brothers were drifting further away from sleep.

Ji Ze even sat up directly in bed, turned on the light, and prepared to get dressed, "Brother, I’m going to ask dad to clarify."

Dad said, if you have any questions, ask them right away!

Ji Chao, a bit worried: "Xiao Ze, it’s already very late, dad must be resting, let’s wait and go find him tomorrow morning, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ze shook his head, "I can’t sleep."

He needed to find dad now and clarify things about him and that aunt, otherwise he couldn’t fall asleep.

"Alright then, I’ll come with you." Ji Chao, worried he might get into trouble alone, prepared to call a bodyguard uncle to come along.

After both of them had dressed, they remembered an overlooked problem: they didn’t know which villa in the resort area dad was staying at.

Ji Ze took out his children’s watch, dialed Ji Muye’s phone, and said, "I’ll call dad and ask."

Downstairs, Ji Muye who was just about to leave, saw the light suddenly turn on inside the villa, paused in his steps, looked up, and saw two little figures starting to get dressed by the window, furrowed his brow, wondering what his sons were doing dressing up at this hour.

In his moment of confusion, the phone which had just powered on began to vibrate.

Upon seeing the caller ID of his younger son, he immediately answered, "Xiao Ze, why haven’t you gone to bed yet?"

"Dad, I can’t sleep. Can my brother and I come over to see you? We can have the bodyguard uncle take us there, and we will definitely be careful about our safety."

He even mentioned the solution to the concerns Ji Muye might have about their safety going out late at night, showing he really wanted to see him.

Ji Muye looked at the lights inside the villa and sighed inwardly, "Dad is at the front door of your villa. You and your brother try to move quietly, don’t wake up mom and your sister."

Hearing Ji Muye’s words on the phone, Ji Ze’s eyes lit up.

He immediately climbed up to the bay window swiftly, pulled back the curtains, and sure enough, he saw Ji Muye standing in the night at the villa entrance, raising his hand and waving vigorously at him.

Ji Muye: "Dad sees you, be careful, don’t fall."

When Ji Chao and Ji Ze left the children’s room, Lu Xining in the room next door had already woken up.

Considering the safety of the two children and the noise at night, she kept the doors to her room and the twins’ room open.

She was a light sleeper by nature; any noise of leaving the house next door could be detected immediately. Through the light of the hallway sensor, she saw Ji Chao and Ji Ze crouching, walking on the carpet in socks, holding their slippers in their hands.

Worried that the noise from the elevator would wake up mom and sister, Ji Chao and Ji Ze took the stairs, where there were sensor lights, so they didn’t need to turn on the main lights inside the house, which wouldn’t affect their vision.

They didn’t wear their fluffy slippers until they had left the stairs and reached the living room.

The down jackets and scarves were hanging on the coat rack at the entrance of the living room. They cooperated tacitly, dressed up, and then opened the door to run out.

There was a bodyguard patrolling the entrance of the yard.

The moment they saw Ji Muye, they immediately sent a message to Fu Junhang.

At that moment, the man was standing by the window, staring at Ji Muye in the night. He could confirm that the person downstairs was indeed Ji Muye himself, not the counterfeit that accompanied Zhuang Tian. Just as he was puzzled about why he appeared here silently in the middle of the night, he heard a slight movement at the staircase.

Realizing it was Ji Chao and Ji Ze, he did not speak to stop them.

Seeing them rushing towards the yard gate, he sent a message to the bodyguard to let the kids through.

But he didn’t know that Lu Xining was also standing behind the curtains by the window at that moment, watching her two sons hastening towards Ji Muye. The joy and anticipation of the reunion on their faces made her realize how deeply dependent they were on their father.

Downstairs at the villa, Ji Muye was relieved to see Ji Chao and Ji Ze wrapped up tightly as they came out.

He had Ma Sai drive the car over, stopping it right at the villa entrance, not driving it too far just in case Lu Xining would wake up in the night to find that her children are not in the room and get worried.

Ji Muye opened the car door, letting his two sons get into the car to warm up.

He said sternly, "Tell me, what are you doing looking for dad in the middle of the night?"

Now truly facing his dad, Ji Ze actually began to hesitate, unsure of how to appropriately pose his question.

He turned his gaze towards his older brother, hoping he would help ask the question.

Ji Chao was after all a bit more composed than him. He looked at Ji Muye seriously and asked, "Dad, are you really going to marry that lady?"
