In the small villa, Shen Yao and Mo Chen were enjoying their private time together, not counting the two little ones who had yet to develop their own legs.
Shen Yao had thought their private time would last for a while, but she hadn't expected it to end so quickly.
The reason was that ever since Shen Yao arrived, Mo Chen hadn't returned to the old mansion at all.
Although Mo Chen had moved out of the old mansion years ago, he still went back every couple of days, fearing that Grandpa Mo would feel lonely staying at home alone.
But during this period, Mo Chen hadn't returned home once. How could this not make the old man suspicious?
However, he didn't think of anything else and assumed his son was too busy with company matters to return to the old mansion.
So, Grandpa Mo asked the old housekeeper to have the cook prepare some food and went to visit Mo Chen at his company.
However, when they arrived at the company, they found no sign of Mo Chen. Only Xue Zhu and Luo Yunping were diligently working.
After some inquiries, they learned that Mo Chen, the boss, had left the work to his employees and was instead enjoying his private time with his wife and children.
Grandpa Mo: ...
Upon learning the cause and effect, Grandpa Mo's face turned green.
He hadn't seen his precious grandchildren for such a long time. If it weren't for considering his eldest son, Mo Chen, he would have already left him behind to visit the children at Shen's house.
But now, he was thinking of Mo Chen, while that guy was a classic case of having a wife and forgetting his father!
Would he really fight him for his wife and children? At most, he'd snatch the children.
Besides, if he took the children away, it would just fulfill his own wish and allow him to enjoy true private time.
Therefore, after leaving the company, Grandpa Mo and the old housekeeper immediately rushed to Mo Chen's home.
Before they even went inside, they saw Shen Yao outside with the two little ones rolling on the grass.
The entire area of grass here had been tidied up by Shen Yao herself the day after she moved in, specifically so that the two little ones could play on it.
Originally, even the best-maintained grass couldn't eliminate weeds and insects.
But this grass was different. Not only was there not a single weed, but not a single insect could be seen.
Shen Yao had also deliberately planted a circle of mugwort around the edge of the grass to repel insects.
The mugwort taken from her space had an excellent insect-repelling effect, and it grew exceptionally well. It could even be mistaken for ornamental plants.
The two little ones were rolling on the grass, playing happily, and occasionally letting out clear laughter.
Upon hearing the children's laughter, Grandpa Mo and the old housekeeper could no longer hold back and immediately pushed open the door.
Grandpa Mo knew about this villa and knew his son planned to use it as their marital home.
Although he knew children would leave home when they grew up, the thought of that scene still made the old man feel a pang of sadness.
"Ah ah ah... ya ya..."
Jiaozi suddenly sensed the presence of others and immediately started babbling in the direction of the newcomers.
Seeing his sister like this, Tuanzi naturally didn't want to be outdone and also started calling out.
Despite their young age, the two little ones had excellent memories and recognized Grandpa Mo and the old housekeeper.
After all, when they were at Shen's house, it was almost always Grandpa Mo, the old housekeeper, and Mother Shen who looked after them.
Shen Yao had also noticed Grandpa Mo and the old housekeeper early on. Knowing they were there to "demand an explanation," she didn't act as if she had discovered them.
Seeing the excited state of the two little ones, Grandpa Mo and the old housekeeper immediately abandoned their intention of coming to cause trouble.
Settling scores? What scores to settle? Nothing was more important than cuddling with his grandchildren!
"Grandpa's precious grandchildren, Grandpa missed you so much!"
The old man immediately stepped forward and hugged the two little ones, calling them "darling" one after another.
Seeing Grandpa Mo like this, Shen Yao knew that everything was fine.
If there was something that displeased the old man, and one grandchild wasn't enough, then two would do it. Nothing could resist them.
Mo Chen was preparing food for Shen Yao and the two little ones inside the house and also heard his father's voice.
So, as he walked out into the yard wearing an apron and holding a pile of food, he saw his father and the old housekeeper acting like two playful old men, rolling on the ground with the two little ones.
"Dad, Uncle Steward, you two are here." Mo Chen showed no surprise, as if their arrival was not unexpected at all.
Of course, Xue Zhu and Luo Yunping had reported the incident of the old man and the old housekeeper visiting the company to Mo Chen.
Therefore, it should be said that Mo Chen was the one who knew in advance that Grandpa Mo and the old housekeeper were coming.
"You have the nerve to say that! You didn't tell me when Yao Yao and the others arrived. Are you afraid I'll snatch them away from you!"
Grandpa Mo looked at Mo Chen, his anger burning. This unfilial son had monopolized his little grandchildren for so long!
If he weren't the father of his little grandchildren, he would have scolded him!
"I was afraid the children would disturb you. After all, you two are not young anymore, and you don't need to worry so much. You just need to be a grandfather obediently." Mo Chen put on an expression as if he was doing it for their own good, which made Grandpa Mo wish he could spank him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? My body is strong. How can I not look after children? Don't forget, you were all raised by your father." Grandpa Mo was extremely displeased.
You can point out all his other problems, but you absolutely cannot imply he is old. He still felt very young!
"Yes, yes, yes, Dad, your health is excellent. But I am also the father of these children. Aren't I also supposed to build a good relationship with them?" Mo Chen quickly said.
He wanted to end the topic quickly, as even after recuperating at Shen's house for so long, his health was much better, but it couldn't compare to his own, could it?
"Alright, since you've built a good relationship now, I'll be taking them back to the old mansion next. That way, you two can have your private time." Grandpa Mo said, his tone conveying an unrefusable determination.
Mo Chen didn't argue with him. After all, he wasn't worried about the safety of the two little ones. Just as the old man said, this way he and Shen Yao could truly have their private time.
