Chapter 1588: 1587 You originally took it.
Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen really did leave work early.
When they got home, Gu Kai and Bai Yiyi had only been there for about ten minutes.
As soon as they entered the living room, they heard laughter, especially from the children, who seemed incredibly excited.
“Brother, Yiyi, did you buy new clothes for each of them?”
Even though they don’t lack new clothes, children get excited naturally when wearing new ones.
Especially Tongtong and Momo, Xinxin’s clothes were the same, just one size bigger for Tongtong.
Ziyi’s clothes were different in color, but they fit him well. Though he’s young, his innate handsome charm was evident.
Besides new clothes, there’s also food and toys.
“Dad, Mom.”
Ziyi was the first to see Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran enter, his handsome little face brightening with joy as he called out.
“Dad, Mom.”
Momo and Xinxin quickly ran over, each hugging a leg.
Wen Ran smiled at Momo hugging her legs, “Momo, you look so pretty. Who bought this new outfit for you?”
“Aunt.”
Momo glanced over at Bai Yiyi on the sofa, her face lighting up with a sweet smile.
“Momo, it was Uncle who bought it, why say it was Aunt?”
“Uncle and Aunt bought it together.”
Ziyi saw Momo couldn’t explain well and helped clarify.
Gu Kai gave Ziyi a thumbs up and Ziyi, with a calm smile, showed a maturity beyond his years.
“Half a month gone and I feel like Ziyi has grown a lot.”
Bai Yiyi smiled at Ziyi’s calm demeanor, then turned to Wen Ran.
Wen Ran held Momo’s hand and sat on the sofa, waving to Ziyi, and smiled at Bai Yiyi, “Don’t you notice Ziyi is looking more like Mo Xiuchen?”
“Yes.”
Bai Yiyi nodded emphatically.
Her gaze roamed back and forth between the handsome faces of Mo Xiuchen and the smaller Ziyi.
Indeed, as Ranran said, Ziyi looked increasingly like Mo Xiuchen.
It’s not just about appearance; Ziyi’s handsome little face was always a miniature version of Mo Xiuchen.
Wen Ran was referring to Ziyi’s innate elegance and noble quality, which increasingly resembled Mo Xiuchen.
Ziyi’s personality was also quite like Mo Xiuchen’s.
“Ranran, your Ziyi will surely captivate many girls when he grows up,” Bai Yiyi teased.
Such a handsome boy growing up in such a happy family—unlike Mo Xiuchen, who faced hardships early on—he probably wouldn’t become indifferent to girls.
If he’s a bit of a warm guy, he’ll be irresistibly charming.
“Ah Kai, should we head up to the study upstairs and leave the living room to them?” Mo Xiuchen glanced at Wen Ran, then turned to Gu Kai.
Gu Kai raised a handsome brow and, looking down at Tongtong in his arms, said, “Tongtong, go to mom first. Daddy will take you home later.”
Tongtong pouted slightly, reluctantly nodding, “Daddy, come down quickly.”
“Still wanting hugs, silly.”
Ziyi, watching Tongtong cling to Gu Kai’s arms, shook his head like a grown-up.
Tongtong glared, defending herself, “I haven’t seen Daddy in so long. You try not seeing your dad for half a month; I bet you’d miss him.”
“I would, but no hugs.”
Ziyi replied without hesitation.
Mo Xiuchen proudly gave Ziyi a thumbs up, “Son, Dad has to go on a business trip tomorrow. It’ll be half a month until I’m back.”
Upon hearing those words, Ziyi, who was proudly mirroring Mo Xiuchen from a moment ago, suddenly lowered his head.
“Dad.”
He looked at Mo Xiuchen with longing.
Mo Xiuchen stepped forward, bending down to pat his head, “You need to take good care of your two sisters and don’t make Mom angry. I’ll bring gifts when I return.”
With that, Mo Xiuchen winked at Gu Kai, signaling him not to linger, and turned toward the stairs.
Gu Kai kissed Tongtong before letting go, stood up, and left the sofa.
Mo Xiuchen and Gu Kai went upstairs, while Nanny Zhang brought two more trays of fruit into the living room.
“Ranran, here’s a gift for you, chosen by Ah Kai.”
Bai Yiyi handed Wen Ran a delicate box, and Wen Ran accepted it with a smile, “Why are you thinking of me during your honeymoon?”
“Open it to see if you like it.”
Bai Yiyi smiled at the box in Wen Ran’s hands. Gu Kai chose a gift more thoughtfully for Wen Ran than the one for the kids.
She watched from the side, feeling touched by Gu Kai’s affection for Wen Ran, yet couldn’t help feeling a hint of sorrow.
If not for past grudges, Gu Kai and Wen Ran wouldn’t have been separated since childhood.
Bai Yiyi had seen, at the Gu Family, the birthday gifts Gu Kai sent Wen Ran every year; her pain for Gu Kai was beyond words.
“Wow, what a beautiful necklace.” Wen Ran opened the box, saw the diamond necklace inside, and immediately raised her head to look at Bai Yiyi.
“Yiyi, this necklace must be expensive. You two were on your honeymoon; my brother should have bought a gift for you. This necklace…”
“Ranran, you must accept it. This is specially bought for you by Ah Kai; he said you would look amazing wearing it, and I agree with him.”
Bai Yiyi interrupted Wen Ran’s words, showing her own necklace, “See, I have one too, but in a different color with the same style.”
“That’s comforting.”
Seeing that Bai Yiyi also had one, Wen Ran was reassured.
She knew her brother cared for her, but now that her brother was married, he should care for Yiyi, Tongtong, and the baby in Yiyi’s womb.
Wen Ran just wanted to see her brother happy, then she’d be content.
“Ah Kai sure knows you well.” Bai Yiyi teased with a smile upon hearing Wen Ran.
Actually, she felt the necklace was indeed expensive.
She originally wanted Ah Kai to buy just one for Ranran, since Ah Kai had already gotten her jewelry; she didn’t need more.
But Gu Kai says if Yiyi doesn’t get one too, Ranran would likely refuse the gift.
Although he said it, Bai Yiyi knew Gu Kai wanted to buy one for her as well, so she agreed after hesitating.
“Of course, my brother is not just mine now; he’s your husband, Tongtong’s father, and the father of the unborn baby. Naturally, he should treat you as his top priority.”
Wen Ran’s words made Bai Yiyi playfully pout, “Ranran, saying that makes me feel like I stole your brother.”
“You did. Why pretend otherwise?”
Wen Ran raised her eyebrows and slightly lifted her chin, her actions amusing Bai Yiyi with laughter.
“Alright, I’ll admit I stole him since you have Mo Xiuchen, isn’t that enough?”
“Yiyi, about the wedding, are you upset?”
Wen Ran toned down her smile and asked seriously.
Because of Mo Xiuchen, Yiyi and her brother didn’t have their wedding.
