a man who was stunningly handsome from every angle; she had always been attracted to good looks, so living with such a man in the same room was quite a challenge indeed.Gah, Warmth, wake up, don't be...The Substitute Ex-Wife of the CEO / 1025/ Read Pavilion

Qianyun Island.

Xiaoyuque and Xiaonianhen were already able to walk quite steadily, and Kaka and Wu Shuang accompanied them almost every day on the beach practicing walking. Their days were very leisurely. Mochen watched their family of four with extreme envy in his heart.

The two-year period was almost up.

Back then, he had given Gu Babu and the children a two-year time frame. After those two years, he would go look for them regardless of what Gu Babu thought; he wanted to make every effort to get his wife and kids back. Linlin's death drew an indelible rift between them. He had given Gu Babu two years to grieve and also allowed himself the same amount of time to recover emotionally, but eventually, he would go after them.

Letting go temporarily didn't mean giving up completely.

A few more months until the end of those two years, and he was already impatiently yearning to head to France. He couldn't wait for a couple more months, especially with Avril recently sending him videos—Sen Sen had participated in his school's children’s painting competition and won a special prize. His artwork depicted a family portrait. Gu Babu, the three treasures, and himself. Without him, it wouldn’t be considered a family portrait, and this piece of art took home first place at the child competition.

The image was warm and heartwarming, bringing about a soft sense of nostalgia.

He could take it as his children's way of conveying their message to him; they missed him too. Although this thought might be presumptuous, Mochen couldn't help but think so. For the past year, he had been chatting online with them via Skype, treating them like friends. They didn’t know that he was Mochen. He pretended to be an eight-year-old kid and communicated his feelings with them. He knew Sen Sen was going to participate in the competition and wanted to draw a family portrait—just the three treasures and Gu Babu.

Back then, Mochen had proposed, "What about daddy How could it be considered a family portrait without him"

It turned out that SenSen really listened and included him as well. Upon pondering SenSen's mindset, it wasn't hard to discover that SenSen felt more secure with his father around; otherwise, he wouldn't have drawn such a family portrait upon the suggestion of netizens.

When Avril told him about SenSen winning an award, Mo Chen was overjoyed. Seeing this painting made him cherish it even more and realize that the kids were actually missing him. He couldn't wait to go to France.

If not for his unfinished responsibilities, he would have left irresponsibly long ago.

Recently, Mo Yao and Mo Xiaobai had been quite carefree. In the past year, Mo Chen had been a workaholic, handling most of the Black Hand activities himself. After Kaka woke up, Wushuang resumed his normal work as well. Mo Xiaobai used the excuse that he didn't have much quality time with Mo Yao and thus openly took Mo Yao to experience their own little world, vanishing without a trace. This infuriated both Wushuang and Mo Chen so much they wanted to curse him out; there was no way Mo Xiaobai lacked leisure time.

Among the children, Mo Xiaobai had the most leisure time because his work was shared by Mo Yao, making his life the most comfortable.

However, everyone understood that Mo Yao truly didn't have much leisure time, so they didn't hold it against Mo Xiaobai. They would disappear for three or four months at a stretch, returning to Qianyun Island for just a few days before flying off again. Recently, Mo Chen wanted to go to France and his work was winding down. He had been trying to find them but found out that both of them had turned their phones off. Mo Chen exclaimed that Mo Xiaobai had corrupted the most responsible man in the family.

Big Brother actually shut off his phone

This left Mo Chen feeling quite deflated.

They vacationed for several months, which was enough; they actually wanted to continue their holiday That was a bit too much. So Mo Chen utilized his intelligence network to track down their location and directly ordered local agents to apprehend them.

Moyao also felt that it was enough. Over these few months, he had traveled from Eastern Europe to South America with Mo Xiaobai, almost covering the entire continent of Europe and America. They had pretty much explored everywhere worth seeing, so it was indeed time to get back on track. Even if Mo Chen hadn't dispatched someone to catch them, he planned to discuss returning to work with Mo Xiaobai anyway.

Moxiao Bai was so happy that he forgot about Shushu, but considering Mo Chen's happiness, the two of them naturally returned home sweetly.

The moment they got off the plane, Moxiao Bai faced a barrage of criticism from Wu Shuang for leaving such an enormous workload behind. This heartless person actually left without any consideration for others. Moxiao Bai retorted boldly, "Sis, you've been on leave for more than a year. You took over a year off while we only had several months."

Wu Shuang narrowed her eyes and revealed a murderous aura. Moxiao Bai weakly hid behind Mo Yao seeking protection; his mischievous expression made Wu Shuang unable to help but laugh lightly. Ye Wei was playing with Little Nianhen in the distance and couldn't resist saying, "Nianhen, we shouldn't learn from Uncle in the future, okay He's too much of a pushover..."

Little Nianhen laughed vaguely.

"What about Mo Chen then" Wu Shuang asked. "How do you explain that he hasn't taken any leave at all You're heartless."

Moxiao Bai leaned on Mo Yao's shoulder and said, "That’s not my fault."

He looked extremely wronged.

Mo Yao shot him a glance and couldn’t help but say, "It was because I felt bored and wanted to travel more; it has nothing to do with him."

Wu Shuang remained silent for a moment, then said, "Boss, please don't be so protective of him. It's not like he’s the one who came up with this idea."

Wu Shuang patted Little Nianhen on the face and said, "Little Nianhen, we shouldn’t learn from Big Uncle either; it’s too domineering, and that would mean no status for him."

Xiao Nianhen giggled again.

Moj小白was lying on Mo Yao's shoulder, laughing brightly and shamelessly. Mo Yao glanced at him with a warning not to be overjoyed and fall into misfortune. But Moj小白didn't care; with Big Brother around, his sister couldn't even touch a hair on his head.

Wu Shuang really looked down on someone.

Mo Chen said, "It's good that you're back. I need to go to France."

He had been watching Baby Gu and the two kids' video under a sun umbrella all along, enjoying it immensely. He would see them in person the day after tomorrow; he didn't know if Baby Gu still refused to let him in.

Thinking of this made Mo Chen somewhat nervous.

Moj小白ran over excitedly and asked, "Big Brother, do you need me to give you some advice"

Mochen looked up at Moj小白and said that although he was unreliable for everything else, his tactics in pursuing people were quite reliable. Just look how quickly Big Brother had been captured; whether it was the amnesiac version of him or the full-version one, none could escape Moj小白's grasp.

Wu Shuang laughed and said, "Don't end up hindering more than helping. Do you think Baby Gu is like Big Brother A single word can win her over."

Moyao fell silent, couldn't help but deeply reflect: was he really that easy to win over with just a word in the underworld, whether assassins or agents, do the same.He loved Wu Shuang’s neat black-and-white style and her long smooth hair.But all of that was gone now.Hair straightened into big waves, she...
