Chapter 14: Assisting Daddy and Mommy
Jiang Baobao suddenly felt a pang of heartache, and as she held Yanbao's little hand, she decided, "Then let's go with that white one, the same as the one you used before, okay?"
"Mm-hmm." Yanbao nodded readily.
After buying the phone, the two of them went to other floors.
Jiang Baobao intended to pick out some clothes to wear to the banquet, and while she was at it, buy a few well-fitting outfits for her own precious boy.
On the other side, Jiang Mobai was wandering around the mall with several bodyguards, having long since attracted the attention of quite a few people.
Yet he was completely oblivious, and having not bought a single piece of clothing, he was wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly.
He had tried his very best, but no matter what, he couldn't shake off the bodyguards behind him.
Seriously!
They were following way too closely!
If this kept up, how was he supposed to go find Mommy?
Mobai's little face was pulled tight, his expression full of displeasure.
After walking another two steps, he suddenly saw a sign not far ahead, and his eyes lit up instantly.
"I need to go to the restroom! Don't you guys come over!"
He came to a sudden halt and glared fiercely at the bodyguards behind him.
The several bodyguards looked at each other, their expressions troubled.
The last time the young master was at the airport, he also said he needed to go to the restroom, and then...
Not getting an answer, Mobai immediately pouted his little mouth even higher on purpose.
"Young master, go ahead, we will wait for you right here." The several bodyguards finally made a concession.
Mobai turned and walked away immediately.
At the same time, Yanbao also happened to look over in this direction, his eyes widening in disbelief for a split second...
That is... a little kid who looks just like me!!!
Is he Jiang Mobai?
For a moment, Yanbao couldn't figure out why Mobai would be with his own bodyguards.
Seeing him enter the restroom, he hurriedly turned his head to look toward the fitting room with some anxiety.
Jiang Baobao had just changed her clothes and was walking out from inside.
"Mommy, I want to go to the restroom!" Yanbao spoke up hurriedly, pointing to the area diagonally across from the shop.
Jiang Baobao was taken aback, then quickly agreed: "Alright, then Mommy will accompany you after I settle the bill..."
"No need! Mommy, wait for me here! I'll go by myself!" As Yanbao said this, he had already pulled up his mask, turned his head, and ran toward the restroom with big strides.
Jiang Baobao was left between laughter and tears, having no choice but to sit in the shop, her eyes fixed anxiously on the direction of the restroom.
Yanbao ran all the way into one of the restroom stalls.
Searching one by one...
But it was quiet inside, and there wasn't a single person.
He turned a corner and saw the second row of stalls appear before his eyes.
Yet it was still quiet, and every door was locked tight.
Yanbao stood where he was, blinked his eyes, and for a moment couldn't make up his mind.
Did he see wrong just now?
He thought to himself, feeling a bit dejected about whether to continue walking forward.
If he were to squat down to look at the door gap, it would be too impolite, but...
In Yanbao's mind, the shadow of the person who had flashed by just now surfaced, and he was desperate to figure out exactly what was going on.
Just at this moment—
Mobai, who had been hiding behind the door, also saw Yanbao, who had suddenly walked into the restroom.
He looked Yanbao up and down; although he was wearing a mask, he only thought for a split second before he was certain... this person was indeed his twin, Yanbao.
"Hey! Are you looking for me?" Mobai walked up and spoke suddenly.
Yanbao felt someone tap him on the shoulder.
He spun around abruptly and saw a face exactly like his own, looking at him with a grin.
Yanbao was instantly nervous as he spoke: "Ah, you... hello, I... I am..."
Little Mobai patted his shoulder with a look of maturity: "Don't be nervous, even though you're wearing a mask, I know you're called Yanbao."
Yanbao let out a long breath of relief, nodded immediately, pulled down his mask, and looked at the Mobai in front of him with a curious gaze.
Mobai was also looking at Yanbao in the same way.
He had run in just now, wanting to find a place to hide.
But before he could find one, he heard someone enter, so he hid behind the door.
He hadn't expected it to be a little boy of similar height and build to himself.
Both little fellows had surprised expressions, looking at each other, and just as they were about to speak, footsteps came from the entrance again.
"Come this way!"
Mobai reacted extremely quickly, instantly pulling Yanbao into one of the stalls and locking the door.
The two little fellows pricked up their ears and listened for a long time, and upon hearing it was just a passerby, they looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Yanbao looked at Mobai and felt an inexplicable sense of affinity.
He was much more relaxed than before, and only then did he hurriedly ask: "How do you know me?"
"I've seen your photos, and I've also seen your workbook!" Mobai answered immediately.
Yanbao blinked his eyes, feeling somewhat puzzled.
My photos and homework notebooks are all at home; how did Mobai...
"Are you, perhaps, wondering why I am here?"
Jiang Mobai took the initiative to hold Yanbao's hand and raised an eyebrow handsomely, though he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Why does Yanbao look so dazed?
He is not like me at all!
Immediately after, he saw Yanbao nod.
Jiang Mobai patted his chest and explained: "This matter is too complicated, and I can't explain it clearly. I secretly followed Mommy back from abroad. Yesterday, I was hiding outside your house, wanting to give Mommy a surprise, but who knew I would be caught by your servants and the butler and taken back!"
He briefly explained the situation, looking helpless.
Yanbao also suddenly realized: "Yesterday... Mommy took me away. It must be that Zheng and Daddy mistook you for me!"
No wonder Daddy didn't send anyone to look for me!
The two little ones looked at each other, both wanting to laugh for a moment.
Yanbao suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked: "Then have you seen Daddy? Daddy never mentioned you and Mommy to me before..."
Jiang Mobai immediately chimed in: "Yeah, Mommy never mentioned it either, so... did she come back this time specifically to see you?"
As he spoke, he put his hands on his hips and complained with some dissatisfaction: "That's really not fair! She didn't even tell me!"
Upon hearing this, Yanbao hurriedly explained: "It's not like that. I met Mommy at the airport, and she mistook me for you..."
Hearing this, Jiang Mobai's little brows furrowed sharply.
What kind of mess is this?
Mommy mistook Yanbao for me, and I was mistaken for Yanbao?
Both little ones felt something was wrong and quickly exchanged information...
Five minutes later, they both revealed expressions of disbelief.
It turned out that Daddy and Mommy had no idea they had another child!
Yanbao looked at Jiang Mobai, who looked exactly like him, and couldn't help but feel dazed.
Since Jiang Mobai is already back, shouldn't I switch back with him?
As he thought this, he heard Jiang Mobai ask: "By the way, did you come with Mommy?"
"Yes!" Yanbao nodded immediately.
Jiang Mobai's expression turned joyful: "Great! I also came with your family's bodyguards. We can swap clothes, and I can go find Mommy!"
Upon hearing this, Yanbao's expression dimmed for a moment; he pursed his lips, nodded obediently, and was about to take off his little jacket.
Jiang Mobai, however, was slightly stunned; for some reason, a flash of discomfort suddenly crossed his heart...
