Chapter 18: Mobai Wits His Way Out of a Tight Spot

Better not speak, lest I give myself away!

Mobai didn't know how to address the other person, so he had to nod obediently.

Gu Ruohan raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat surprised inside.

Wasn't it said that Yanbao's personality had become very aggressive?

Isn't this quite good?

Thinking this, he patted the sofa beside him and said with a smile, "Do you want to chat with Uncle Gu for a while? We haven't seen each other in a long time; Uncle has missed you to death!"

As Gu Ruohan spoke, he tentatively reached out to pick Mobai up.

Perhaps due to the natural affinity and charm of a Doctor, Mobai actually didn't resist.

He only noted the title "Uncle Gu" in his heart.

Li Beijue also walked in from outside the door.

Seeing that Mobai was already seated, he exchanged a look with Gu Ruohan without changing his expression.

Immediately after, he saw Gu Ruohan wearing a look that was neither quite a smile nor not a smile.

"Ahem..."

Gu Ruohan forcibly suppressed the laughter on the tip of his tongue, then pointed at Li Beijue and asked, "Didn't you go to eat? How did your clothes get like that?"

Li Beijue's thighs and sides were covered in crooked footprints, looking quite disheveled.

His gaze flickered for a moment as he looked toward the "culprit," little Mobai.

Gu Ruohan suddenly understood.

So this little fellow was only pretending to be so obedient just now!

It seems he still has defenses against him...

Mobai sat obediently to one side, naturally and keenly noticing their little interaction, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Why do this uncle and Daddy seem so strange?

As he thought this, he heard Gu Ruohan suddenly ask, "Yanbao, do you want to chat with Uncle for a while? Shall we go to your room?"

"Go to my room?" Mobai hesitated for a moment, his expression somewhat reluctant.

After pondering for a moment, he suggested, "If Uncle Gu has something to say, just say it here."

Hearing this, Gu Ruohan pondered for two seconds and did not force the issue.

Psychological therapy requires a quiet environment, and since there was no one here at the moment, it was suitable enough.

Seeing that he was still somewhat cooperative, Li Beijue also breathed a slight sigh of relief and sat to one side without making a sound.

Mobai sat on the sofa swinging his little legs, watching as Gu Ruohan squatted down in front of him: "Yanbao, Uncle heard from your Daddy that you recently met an auntie and mistook her for your mommy, is that right?"

Yanbao's inner world was much stronger than that of an average child, so Gu Ruohan went straight to the point.

Mobai looked a bit confused, then nodded readily.

Yanbao had indeed told him about this, but how did this uncle know?

Thinking this, he saw Gu Ruohan pull a pocket watch out of his pocket.

He then continued to ask softly, "Yanbao, can you tell Uncle if you have dreamed of Mommy recently? What does Mommy look like in your dreams?"

Mobai narrowed his eyes and instantly put up all his defenses... A pocket watch?

This Uncle Gu is a Doctor!

He is here to treat Yanbao!

Mobai's heart skipped a beat; he instantly jumped off the sofa and ran further away.

Not expecting his reaction to be so intense, Gu Ruohan was left between laughter and tears.

"Yanbao, why are you running so far away?" He looked at the vigilant little fellow in front of him with amusement, trying to move forward.

Mobai immediately shouted to stop him: "Uncle Gu! I'm not sick! I don't need psychological therapy!"

His attitude was firm, his eyes staring intently at Gu Ruohan.

Doctors are very formidable!

Maybe I won't be able to help myself and will blurt out the truth about my identity!

Gu Ruohan's footsteps paused, and he frowned slightly.

Beijue was right; Yanbao's personality has indeed undergone a great change, and now he even has defensive psychology toward him...

Li Beijue also stood up.

Alarm bells rang in Mobai's heart; without thinking, he took to his heels and ran toward the stairs!

He ran up the stairs with a patter-patter-patter, and without hesitation, he locked the door from the inside!

Outside the door, the footsteps of Gu Ruohan and Li Beijue quickly arrived at the entrance.

"Yanbao, open the door first, Uncle Gu won't ask you those questions anymore, okay?"

Gu Ruohan's tone was somewhat cautious, carrying a hint of coaxing.

But Mobai couldn't hear a single word; he ignored them and didn't open the door.

Then he heard Li Beijue also persuade in a low voice: "Yanbao, open the door first."

Mobai still didn't react, only staring vigilantly at the room door.

What to do!

He didn't want to be asked questions by a Doctor at all!

For the first time, an anxious look appeared on the little fellow's face, but the next second he heard Li Beijue seem to call someone over, saying in a low voice: "Find the key to the young master's room."

Mobai was so shocked his eyes widened, and he looked around in a panic.

Not until he saw the windowsill did his eyes suddenly brighten, and he ran over with big strides...

At the same time, the room door was also opened with a "Bang—"!

"Yanbao! What are you doing!"

Li Beijue saw the scene inside the room at a glance, and his heart instantly leaped into his throat.

He saw that Mobai had already climbed onto the windowsill and pushed open half of the window!

Mobai carefully recalled the television dramas he had seen before, and seeing that Gu Ruohan seemed to be about to step forward, he hurriedly shouted, "I won't see the Doctor! If Daddy insists on making me see the Doctor, I will jump down from here!"

"You!" Li Beijue's expression suddenly turned stern; he never imagined there would come a day when he would be threatened by the little guy in front of him.

He instinctively moved to step forward, but his wrist was grabbed by Gu Ruohan.

Gu Ruohan's expression was much more serious than when he had entered the room; he gave Li Beijue a look and shook his head slightly.

Only then did he force a smile, looking at Jiang Mobai with a beaming face, and softening his tone, he began to negotiate: "Yanbao, Uncle Gu and Daddy won't disturb you anymore. If you obediently come down, we will leave, okay?"

Mobai blinked, his expression hesitant as he wavered between the two of them, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Really?"

"Really! When has Uncle Gu ever lied to you?" Gu Ruohan immediately guaranteed.

Upon hearing this, Mobai pondered for a moment before jumping down from the windowsill.

However, his little hands were still tightly gripping the edge of the windowsill, looking as if he were ready to climb back up at any moment.

Seeing that he had moved away from the danger zone, Li Beijue and Gu Ruohan finally felt relieved.

Without saying anything more, the two of them left the room.

Gu Ruohan pulled Li Beijue into the study with a serious expression on his face.

As soon as they entered the room, he went straight to the point: "I think Yanbao's condition is more serious than you described."

Li Beijue also nodded in agreement: "His personality has changed so quickly over these past two days; it's as if he has completely turned into a different person."

No sooner had his voice fallen than he saw Gu Ruohan shake his head slightly.

"This kind of symptom is truly uncommon in young children, and Yanbao is still too young, his personality not yet fully formed. If this continues, it is hard to say which personality will gain the upper hand; perhaps he will develop in this direction from now on..."
