"Hurry and take the Little Ancestor back so we can relax a bit," the fortune-teller sighed with relief. "Look at the kind of days we've been living this past year; we've been on pins and needles all day long."

"You're not the one who's been on pins and needles; the boss hasn't even said anything," the black-haired lolita continued to complain. "You'd better think about how to explain this to the Little Ancestor."

"Explain what?" the fortune-teller asked back.

"Explain that his current dad isn't his real dad," the black-haired lolita said expressionlessly.

The fortune-teller rubbed her cheeks: "Hmm... it's better to leave this for the boss to explain. After all, she is the Little Ancestor's biological aunt."

Yun Shuying:...

I thank you!

"Boss, I also think you should go. After all, you were the one who tricked the Little Ancestor into finding his real dad. The one who tied the bell must untie it; naturally, you should be the one to clarify things now," the short-haired woman said.

"That's right, that's right. Such a difficult task should be left to you."

The four women were in complete agreement and collectively threw this hot potato to Yun Shuying.

"How about we draw lots? Whoever draws the shortest one goes?"

Yun Shuying tried to struggle.

"Or we spar a few rounds, and whoever comes in last goes?"

The four women shook their heads like rattles.

Yun Shuying would definitely cheat at drawing lots, and they couldn't beat her in a fight.

Wouldn't this hot potato just end up back in their hands?

Just as the women were pushing the responsibility onto each other, a sound of footsteps came from outside the villa.

The next second, the front door was pushed open.

Tang Bingyan walked in from outside, holding Yun Moting's hand.

Tang Bingyan was wearing a beige casual outfit today, shedding her usual image as a cold and arrogant business queen, and the contours of her cold, frost-like, stunning facial features had softened quite a bit.

She held Yun Moting with one hand, and in the other, she held a robot about half a meter tall, which was likely a souvenir from the science museum.

As soon as Yun Moting entered the door, he shouted excitedly: "Dad, are you back?"

Upon seeing Xu Tian in the living room, he broke free from Tang Bingyan's hand and rushed into his arms like a small spinning top.

"The science museum was so much fun. Mom said she'll take Mo Mo to the artificial intelligence exhibition next month. Can Dad come with us then?"

"Today, Mom and I..."

Yun Moting hugged Xu Tian and wouldn't let go, happily describing what he had seen today, when his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of Yun Shuying and the others, and his innocent expression changed instantly.

The fortune-teller's heart skipped a beat.

We're done for, we're done for!

The uniformed woman: "Looking at the Little Ancestor's posture, he seems to really like this pair of fake mom and dad..."

The black-haired lolita: "I even feel a little sorry for the boss... The Little Ancestor hates it most when people lie to him. I don't know if the news about his biological father will be enough to calm his anger. Otherwise, even if we return to Wuji Dao, we won't have an easy time."

The short-haired woman: "Wow, a peerless beauty!"

The other three women followed her gaze to see Tang Bingyan and all gasped.

"Holy crap?"

They had originally thought their boss was already beautiful enough to topple nations, but because her behavior was occasionally erratic, it masked her innate beauty.

Yet they never expected the woman Xu Tian found to impersonate the Little Ancestor's mother to be even more outrageous than their boss.

Especially with looks like Tang Bingyan's, it made ordinary women unable to feel any jealousy; after all, the gap was too large, plus that icy aura that kept people at a distance...

Wait...

The fortune-teller and the others suddenly turned to look at Yun Moting.

The fortune-teller: "Do you guys think she looks quite a bit like the Little Ancestor?"

The black-haired lolita: "Not just looks like him, that demeanor, that expression—it's exactly the same!"

The uniformed woman: "As expected of Boss Xu, he could even find an actor of this caliber. The boss's money was well spent!"

The short-haired woman: "Wait, did the boss spend money?"

In front of Yun Moting, Xu Tian suppressed the heavy emotions in his heart.

"Mo Mo, your aunt and the ladies are here. Why aren't you greeting them?"

The little guy, who had originally reacted coldly to Yun Shuying and the others, immediately turned his head and said obediently upon hearing Xu Tian's words.

"Aunt, ladies..."

Yun Shuying and the others stared at Yun Moting, dumbfounded and filled with disbelief.

Was this still the Little Ancestor and little devil they knew?

He had only lived in Jiangcheng for a few months; how did he change his persona?

Before Yun Shuying could speak, the fortune-teller spoke first.

"Mo Mo, your aunt has something important to tell you!"

"What did you call me?" Yun Moting's expression darkened, scaring the fortune-teller into taking two steps back.

As expected, everything was just her illusion. Where had his persona changed? He was still the same Little Ancestor who gave them a headache!

"What do you have to tell me?"

Yun Moting glanced at Yun Shuying expressionlessly. That look of "you'd better have something to say" made Yun Shuying

feel a massive headache.

"Wife, Mo Mo's aunt is here." Xu Tian held Tang Bingyan and introduced her, "This is Mo Mo's biological aunt, and those people next to her are her friends."

Tang Bingyan glanced sideways at Yun Shuying and the others. Her cold eyes revealed no emotion, but it was precisely this kind of gaze that made the women feel inexplicably guilty.

"Mo Mo, your aunt does have something to tell you. You two should have a good chat." Xu Tian thought for a moment, squatted in front of Yun Moting, and said in a consultative tone, "Why don't you invite your aunt to visit your room?"

"Alright, I'll listen to Dad." Yun Moting nodded somewhat reluctantly.

This was the first time the little guy had shown such resistance in front of him, which made Xu Tian feel a bit sad.

Tang Bingyan's expression also grew colder and colder. Seeming to have sensed something, she radiated an aura that kept others at bay.

"Tingting..." Yun Shuying sensed the strange atmosphere in the living room and was just about to say something when she heard the phone she was clutching emit a series of rapid vibrations.

Yun Shuying looked down at the message notification, then bit the bullet and said to Yun Moting.

"Take Aunt to see your room?"

"Let's go." Yun Moting walked toward the second floor first, not caring whether Yun Shuying was following or not.

"Boss, what are you still standing there for!" The fortune-teller pushed Yun Shuying.

Yun Shuying woke up as if from a dream and chased after them in three steps.

Once the two figures, one large and one small, disappeared from everyone's sight, the atmosphere in the living room dropped to freezing point.

The fortune-teller swallowed with difficulty and quietly tugged at the black-haired lolita beside her.

"It's so scary here..."

After saying that, she secretly glanced in Tang Bingyan's direction.

"What's going on?" Tang Bingyan asked.

"I heard they found Mo Mo's father, so his aunt came over to take him back."

As expected.

Tang Bingyan already had a vague premonition in her heart, but hearing the answer from Xu Tian's mouth still left her momentarily dazed.

Although Yun Moting was not her biological child, she had long since adapted to the identity of "Mom" during their time together.

Now that they were suddenly taking the little guy away, it was indeed hard for her to accept.
