Chapter 221 - Little Peanut's Home!
At the International Airport, Lu Mengjie and Han Yizhou were waiting for Bella Qin's arrival with Little Peanut. They were both wearing masks on so that they wouldn't be recognized by others.
Lu Mengjie was the first to see them come out of the place. Bella Qin was pushing a baby stroller with Little Peanut in it. She released Han Yizhou's hand and rushed to them.
"Huasheng!
"
The baby in the stroller was wearing a simple jumpsuit but what caught his mother's attention the most was the sunglasses he had on. He looked like an adorable boss baby.
"Guu!
" Little Peanut waved the rattle he was holding when he was able to finally see his mother. He was so different than normal babies especially with the way he calmed down all at once. He suddenly looked mad at her. It was as if he was telling her, 'Mommy! Bow down and beg for forgiveness!
"
"Look who's here!
" Lu Mengjie picked her son from the stroller and gently carried him in her arms. She nuzzled his tummy which finally caused the baby to erupt giggles.
"Finally, my babysitting job ends here,
" said Bella as she chuckled.
The other woman turned to her and was grateful for her help. She offered her a smile.
"Thank you, madam.
"
"Anytime, dearie.
" She turned her gaze to the man who stood behind Lu Mengjie.
"It's good to see that the father is here.
"
A small smile on Han Yizhou's lips as he thanked her for taking care of Little Peanut.
"Come, you should join us for dinner, madam,
" Lu Mengjie invited.
"As much as I would love to do that, I have another appointment with someone else tonight.
" She turned her head, landing her gaze on a certain man.
Lu Mengjie followed her gaze and was surprised to see Pride, standing beside a Volkswagen car.
"Eh? Master?
"
"My work is done, so see you some other time, dearie.
" Bella kissed Lu Mengjie on the cheek before she turned to the baby who was looking at her through his sunglasses. She took the glasses and wore them.
"Thank you for holding this for me.
" She leaned down and gently kissed his forehead.
"Be good to your mother.
"
With that Lu Mengjie watched Bella Qin walk towards Pride. Her eyes went wide in disbelief when she saw them kiss. They were in a relationship?!! Since when? How? She had never thought of them as a couple!
Pride had been single for years but that didn't mean that he was a virgin! He had slept with different women but never wanted to be in a commitment even though he was growing old. He was just like her father's rebel days. Well, birds of the same feathers, flocked together.
She shook her head to erase the thought. What was important at that moment was how the hell did Pride manage to woo someone like Gluttony?
"Aguu…
" Little Peanut was trying to eat a strand of her mother's hair.
Lu Mengjie's eyes were cast on her son. She chuckled softly as she tucked the stray strand behind her ear.
"Did you miss me, munchkin?
"
Han Yizhou who stood quietly was looking at his son with mixed feelings. He was anxious and worried for some reason.
"Huasheng, meet your dad.
" She gently made the baby face his father.
Little Peanut ended up looking at the man, blinking his big eyes adorably.
Lu Mengjie knew that their son didn't like to be touched by others except for her and Bella but what about his father? They were never given a chance to meet each other, except now.
The father and son duo ended up staring at each other for a while. It was as if they entered a world of their own. It was a comical sight for Lu Mengjie. Yup, Little Peanut was indeed Han Yizhou's son. She could already see the resemblance!
"Nnggh…
"
Little Peanut was the first to break eye contact. He snuggled against her mother's warmth, burying his face on her chest, and decided to ignore his father.
Han Yizhou's brow twitched.
"Do you want to hold him?
" Lu Mengjie offered.
Han Yizhou ended up scratching his neck as he smiled a bit.
"I don't think he will like it. You said that he didn't like to be touched by others.
"
"Uh-uh. He inherited that from you alright. But you can try.
"
He was rather hesitant but as Little Peanut faced his way, the man decided to finally reach out to his son.
Little Peanut didn't cry and instead, he turned his head away and hugged his mother by her neck. It was his way of rejecting his father's touch.
"Maybe he's not in the mood yet?
" She chuckled a bit.
"Maybe…
" He sighed inwardly.
"Let's go? It's our first night together as a family. Where should we have our dinner?
" She asked as she began walking back to the SUV Mustang that was waiting for them. Han Yizhou followed.
…
Not far from them, a man was standing beside a white van. He had casual clothes on and his hair was parted in the middle. His eyes followed the married couple who walked towards their car.
The man slid the door open and entered.
"Spider is the only one with them,
" he reported to the man who was sitting beside him.
"I can't believe that Yong Liwei is letting his guard down just because of that bitch.
" The man scoffed.
"We should give him another lesson.
" He looked at the other man. He smirked as he ordered,
"Kill them.
"
"Tonight?
" His companion asked in surprise.
"Yes. We will be attacking tonight. We won't get another chance like this.
"
"We should let Mr. Qi know about this first,
" the other man suggested.
"He is not the one paying us right now.
" He narrowed his eyes at his companion.
"Have you forgotten? Mr. Qi said that we should obey that old man. He has instructed us to eliminate that woman. We can easily overpower Yong Liwei and Spider with our numbers.
"
