Chapter 96: A Great-Grandson Added to the Li Family

Inside the room—

Mobai walked to the door cautiously, carefully scouted the situation outside in the hallway, and only then locked the door with care.

"Grandpa Zheng isn't outside, is he?"

Yanbao asked while quickly taking down a giant biscuit tin from the bookshelf.

Mobai was equally excited, hurriedly saying, "No one! We can start!"

As he spoke, he dashed back to the bed and dumped everything in the tin out.

"Clatter—!"

All sorts of colorful snacks were instantly scattered across the bed.

The two little ones' eyes lit up immediately.

"What should we eat today... Yanbao, how about this vanilla-flavored chocolate!"

Little Mobai said, his hands already quickly tearing open the packaging.

Yanbao hadn't eaten any of them before, so naturally, he had no objections.

The two shared a piece of chocolate, putting it in their mouths, and instantly revealed satisfied expressions.

"Mobai, you are truly amazing!"

Yanbao was eating happily and didn't forget to compliment Mobai.

Mobai's little expression couldn't help but become a bit smug.

Last time he had eaten until his stomach hurt, and he had left behind so many snacks!

It was a good thing he hadn't thrown them away, otherwise, they would really be going hungry this time!

The two of them had relied on various potato chips and candies to keep their little bellies full since last night, and they intended to do the same today.

But just as they were eating happily, they heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

"Young masters, have some breakfast. If you don't want to eat, I've had someone make two cups of hot milk..."

Zheng Bo's helpless voice rang out from outside the door.

Mobai and Yanbao looked at each other and immediately said in unison, "If we can't see Mommy, we won't eat!!!"

Zheng Bo knew this would be the result, so he could only sigh and leave to report to Li Beijue.

After hearing this, Li Beijue couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

The two of them had been going hungry from last night until now; if this continued...

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and he suddenly had an idea, saying in a low voice, "Zheng Bo, at noon, you..."

Lunchtime—

Mobai and Yanbao still intended to rely on snacks to get through another meal.

Yanbao, however, looked at the dwindling snack supply with some worry, his little face unable to hide his concern.

"Mobai, is Daddy really not going to pay attention to us this time?"

He looked toward the door, feeling a bit uncertain.

Daddy had never been like this before... He must really be angry this time...

Mobai, however, didn't take this matter to heart; hearing this, he just curled his lips in indifference.

"It doesn't matter! Once we finish eating, I'll find a way to sneak out and buy more! I still have some pocket money!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he heard a sound suddenly come from outside the door.

"Young masters, could you open the door?"

Zheng Bo asked tentatively from outside.

Mobai was just about to speak when he heard Zheng Bo continue, "I'm not here to persuade the two young masters to eat; there is another matter."

"Another matter?" The two little ones were stunned upon hearing this.

They looked at each other, then jumped down together to open the door.

Seeing that this trick had indeed worked, Zheng Bo hurriedly continued, "Young Master says there is a deep cleaning of the house today, so he wants the two young masters to stay in the living room downstairs for a while and return to the room once the cleaning is finished."

"Just like that?"

Little Mobai was as vigilant as ever and immediately asked one more question.

Zheng Bo nodded without hesitation.

The two little ones pondered for a while before agreeing, and they went downstairs hand in hand.

As soon as they arrived in the living room, they discovered that the servants in the house were indeed all busy.

The two went obediently to the sofa, intending to chat for a while.

But not long after, they suddenly smelled the fragrance of food.

Mobai and Yanbao were immediately attracted, looking toward the direction of the dining table...

They saw that the delicacies on it had almost filled half the table!

There were chicken legs, roast duck, braised pork, boiled fish...

"Wow..."

Mobai whispered a sigh, and the next second, he immediately covered his mouth.

Yanbao also swallowed hard.

Then the two little ones instantly realized what was going on.

"Yanbao, this is Daddy's doing on purpose!"

Mobai leaned into Yanbao's ear and said indignantly.

Yanbao nodded as well, though his eyes couldn't help but glance toward the dining table.

Daddy is just too much!

To think he would use this trick!

The two little ones hadn't eaten properly for an entire day, and at this moment, smelling the fragrance of the food, their stomachs were both rumbling.

Yet they both pressed their little lips together, forcefully resisting the urge to eat.

"Yanbao, we must hold on! We cannot surrender to Daddy!!!"

Mobai held Yanbao's little hand tightly, and to distract himself, he even turned on the television.

Upstairs—

Zheng Bo was standing before Li Beijue, making a report.

"Young Master, the two young masters don't seem to be reacting to the food; perhaps you should go down and persuade them..."

Hearing this, Li Beijue felt somewhat helpless.

This was already the last method he could think of.

After a few seconds of silence, he finally stood up helplessly and went downstairs.

On the living room sofa, the two little ones were engrossed in watching a cartoon.

Li Beijue sat on the sofa next to them.

Mobai remained focused, staring intently at the television.

Yanbao, however, looked over at him, but did not say a single word.

Li Beijue spoke helplessly: "You two eat something first, Daddy can talk with you..."

"There is nothing to talk about!"

Mobai interrupted Li Beijue without a second thought.

His little face still wore the same pouting expression as yesterday, and he said with a firm tone: "If you won't let us see Mommy, we won't eat anything!"

Li Beijue felt a breath stuck in his chest, and he was quite choked up by it.

He never imagined that this little fellow named Mobai would have such a stubborn temper.

Li Beijue had no choice but to settle for a compromise: "If you behave and eat, I can consider letting you see her."

But Mobai didn't buy it, retorting directly: "Who knows if your word is any good! I want to see Mommy first!"

Li Beijue couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.

Facing Mobai's unyielding gaze, he found himself momentarily at a loss for what to do.

The two of them remained in a stalemate just like that.

Just at this moment—

"Who is being so loud about wanting to see Mommy?"

An old man's voice suddenly came from outside the living room, immediately attracting the attention of the two little ones.

Li Beijue was also rarely startled, a flash of momentary confusion appearing in his eyes.

How did Grandfather come over so suddenly?

He hadn't planned on telling the old man about Mobai yet...

As Li Beijue thought this, he saw Li Laoyezi had already walked in from outside.

Immediately after, he saw him freeze in place, looking at the two little ones on the sofa with an expression of disbelief.

"This... how is this..."

Li Laoyezi looked at the two identical "Yanbao"s and couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his eyes.

How did he suddenly end up with an extra great-grandson?

Was his old vision failing him?
