Dump Husband and Run Away with Baby - C206
“Mommy, I don’t seem to be that sad anymore. I’m going to sleep.” An An An came out from Tao Tian’s embrace in her sleep and returned to the blanket. One of her small hands was still tightly holding onto her heart, while her mouth was still mumbling something. Tao Tian clearly heard her voice, and An An was saying, “I really want to …” “Uncle, I really miss you so much …”
Tao Yao smiled as she looked at her strong little darling. She imitated his actions as she placed her hand on his heart. She said softly, “I also want to, really want to, really want to …”
As the alarm rang, Tao Ran opened his eyes with great effort. The new day had begun, and no matter what danger awaited him outside, he had to face it bravely, because he still had a mother and son pair to rely on.
Sitting up, Tao Ran looked around absentmindedly. It was only then that he remembered he was sleeping in Auntie Zhong’s living room.
Tao Ran stood up and got off the bed. Tao Tian was on vacation and Auntie Zhong was at home, so she should still be asleep at this time. He tried his best to not make any sound so as to not disturb them.
“Ah Ran, you’re awake.” Tao Ran walked past the kitchen. Auntie Zhong and Tao Tian were already busily preparing breakfast with smiles on their faces.
“Auntie, Yao, why are you so early?” Tao Ran asked in surprise.
“Since our bodyguards are going out, we naturally have to take good care of them.” Auntie Zhong said with a smile, her eyes showing a different emotion from usual.
“Hur hur, look at what you’re saying.” Tao Ran replied with some embarrassment.
“Big brother, quickly go wash your face, then I’ll give you some makeup. You understand, haha.” Tao Tian blinked his eyes at Tao Ran. Tao Ran immediately understood. Tao Tian was helping him disguise himself so that he wouldn’t be discovered by the people watching him downstairs.
“Then what if I go to the company?” Tao Ran asked worriedly, “How could Chairman Ye and the rest not know me?”
“But for the sake of safety, we can only do so.” Tao Tian only thought that his brother didn’t think of any other problems.
“No, I have to dress up before I can leave.” Tao Tian insisted, “You can say that this is my prank. Right now, your safety is the most important.”
“Then …” Tao Ran was still hesitant.
“Alright, Aran, just listen to your sister.” Seeing that the two siblings were in a deadlock, Auntie Zhong came forward to mediate with a kind expression, as if they were a real family.
“This… “Fine.” Tao Ran reluctantly nodded his head and walked into the bathroom.
Tao Tian and Auntie Zhong looked at each other and smiled before continuing their work.
“An Ann, please don’t send me to kindergarten today.” Auntie Zhong asked. Ever since she found out that An An was her own grandson, Auntie Zhong had fallen in love with him.
“Yeah, I’ve already called teacher,” Tao Tian nodded in agreement.
“That’s good.” Auntie Zhong said with a smile.
The two chatted as they prepared breakfast.
“Big brother, are you done yet? “Hurry up, I still have to dress you up!” Tao Tian loudly shouted.
“Got it, got it, got it.” Tao Ran replied as he slowly walked out of the bathroom. He was reluctant to leave as it was dangerous for him to go out alone. Moreover, his sister and Auntie Zhong were worried about his safety so he had no choice but to let them go.
“Come on, hurry up and eat. Auntie Zhong is insisting on making these for you.” Tao Tian pointed to the breakfast on the table.
Tao Ran raised his head to look at the dining table. The white enamel bowl was filled with chicken soup, meatloaf and toast with chicken breasts. Tao Ran subconsciously swallowed his saliva and began to eat heartily.
“Big brother, did you know? Auntie got up early to make the chicken soup. Just for this bowl of porridge, you can taste the fresh chicken soup. I’m going to drool.” Tao Tian explained from the side.
“Also, Auntie Zhong has made this dried chicken toast for a long time. She said that you would definitely like it. It’s really strange that Auntie Zhong knows your taste even better than I do!” Tao Ran continued to eat while Tao Tian continued to chatter on about the origin of breakfast.
Hearing Tao Tian’s explanation, Tao Ran gratefully looked at Auntie Zhong, who was looking at him lovingly. This was the first time Tao Ran saw her looking at him like this, other than when he was looking at Lei Zichen and An An An. For a moment, he felt a sense of familiarity.
Tao Ran continued to eat with his head lowered. The chicken soup was also filled with a sense of familiarity. Such a breakfast, such a taste, such a look … was it a dream?
“Bro, what are you thinking about!” Seeing that Tao Ran’s eating speed had slowed down, Tao Tian waved his arm in front of his face as he asked with a puzzled expression.
“Oh, no… “Nothing, I just feel that Auntie Zhong’s breakfast is very delicious.” Tao Ran smiled in embarrassment and continued to eat with his head lowered …
After eating his fill, he obediently sat down on the chair and let Tao Tian do as he pleased. “Yao Yao, don’t make things too exaggerated. Otherwise, I won’t be able to go to work.” Tao Ran said worriedly.
“Don’t worry, my cooking skills are superb. I will make sure that your Miss Ye will recognize you.” Tao Yao said with a smile. Only in front of her big brother would she show her mischievous side.
Tao Ran didn’t say anything. He just let Tao Tian paint on his face in a helpless manner. On the other hand, Auntie Zhong was smiling as she looked at the two of them with eyes as loving as her own children …
“Alright.” Within a few minutes, Tao Tian had completed his simple disguise. He looked at his work with a complacent expression.
“Look in the mirror.” Tao Tian pointed at the mirror in the distance and confidently said to his brother.
“It’s really not that exaggerated?” He had naturally seen Tao Tian’s appearance changing abilities before. There were several times where he could not recognize this older brother of his. He really didn’t know what this girl would do to his face today.
Tao Ran walked to the mirror and looked at himself worriedly. “Hey, Yao, you’re really something. Not bad, not bad at all.” With just a glance, Tao Ran’s expression turned into one of joy and happiness as if he was very satisfied.
Actually, Tao Tian didn’t make any changes to Tao Ran. It was just that she knew that the person sent to monitor them must have only seen photos, but not the person themselves. Thus, she only modified a few distinct features on Tao Ran’s face. However, those who were unfamiliar with him would not recognize him. Those who were facing him for real would only feel that something was wrong with their face, but not that they would be able to recognize him.
“See, I told you. If I go out like this, I can still relax a little,” Tao Tian looked at Tao Ran with a complacent look.
“Alright, alright, alright. I know you’re the best. Alright, young miss. Can I go out now?” Tao Ran dotingly said to Tao Tian.
“Sure, this way, young master.” After Tao Tian finished speaking, he made a respectful gesture of “please” as he looked at Tao Ran with a smile.
No one could tell from the happy and harmonious atmosphere that this was a family in extreme danger.
“Alright, Ah Ran. Let’s go. Be careful on the road.” Auntie Zhong smiled as she planned their naughtiness, “The two of you are really enjoying yourselves in the midst of hardships!”
“Okay, sister, auntie, I’m leaving,” Tao Ran waved at the two women and went out.
“Goodbye big brother, be careful on your way.” Tao Tian shouted towards Tao Ran’s back.
Walking downstairs, Tao Ran looked around cautiously. After years of professional training, his keen insight was able to tell that they were not far away from each other. He noticed that there were two unremarkable cars and a few ordinary people in their clothes.
Although he appeared to be busy, he was actually looking at his own corridor and his own floor. Tao Ran sneered; indeed, that kind-hearted middle-aged man came yesterday with ill intentions. He didn’t know if it was too late or not.
He tried his best to look natural as he walked towards his car, not intentionally looking at the people who were monitoring him.
After getting into the car, Tao Ran took a deep breath to calm himself down before slowly starting the car. Although he had already risen to the position of manager, he still insisted on seeing Ye Jinsheng and Ye Ningtian off daily.
The car drove on the road steadily. Through the rear view mirror, Tao Ran saw that the people who were monitoring him did not seem to notice him, which made him feel slightly relieved, but he did not dare to hesitate for even a moment. He kept looking back to make sure that his position was safe, and he did not take the route he usually took.
When they finally arrived at the entrance of the California Garden, Ye Ning Tian was already standing guard there. It was obvious that she couldn’t wait any longer.
“Brother Ran, you’re finally here! Why are you so late today?” Ye Ningtian pouted unhappily and asked while Ye Jinsheng silently got into the car.
“Eh? “Why does it look a bit different today? I almost didn’t recognize you.” Sitting in the car, only now did Ye Ning Tian notice the change on Tao Ran’s face and couldn’t help but be shocked.
“Oh, sister insisted on pulling me to try out her new makeup. Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Ye. Eldest Miss, sorry for wasting your time.” Tao Ran apologized repeatedly.
“No, I’m not. You always arrive early, but today you’re late. I’m worried about you.” Ye Ningtian had never concealed his admiration for Tao Ran. Thus, when he spoke, he didn’t hold back at all.
“Eldest Miss, look at what you’re saying.” Tao Ran tried to change the topic but failed to respond …
After a while, the car arrived at the hospital where Ye Ning Tian was. Along the way, Tao Ran was even more cautious as he stared into the rear view mirror. Any suspicious vehicles that appeared made him extremely vigilant.
“Alright, I’m here.” Ye Ning Tian released her seat belt and said as she got out of the car, “Goodbye dad, goodbye Brother Ran.”
He had always been cautious when doing things, and Tao Tian had always had a sense of propriety. How could he waste Tao Ran’s office hours because of such a ridiculous reason? But today, Tao Ran seemed to have been avoiding something along the way. From time to time, he would glance back at the mirror. Although her movements were small and were barely noticeable, her admiring of him could not escape her eyes. Naturally, she noticed it, “What happened to Brother Ran?”
