Chaochao and Mumu exchanged glances with their eyes, and Mumu turned her back to open her phone watch and sent a message to Lan Yuxi.
In the evening, at the Emperor Grand Hotel.
Elder Huo, Elder Hong, Chaochao, and Mumu arrived at the hotel early.
Seeing a children's play area in a corner of the lobby, Mumu grinned and held Elder Hong's hand.
"Grandpa, I want to play there~"
Elder Hong had always doted on the two children and was about to take them over.
Chaochao stopped and looked up at Elder Hong, saying, "Grandpa, the bodyguards will be with me and Sister. You and Grandpa Huo can go up first."
Elder Hong turned to look at the two bodyguards who had been following them, showing some hesitation.
Mumu smiled and reassured him, "Grandpa, don't worry, we won't run around. We'll come up to find you after playing for a while."
Seeing that Grandpa was still worried, Chaochao added, "Grandpa, we have bodyguards, there's surveillance here, and hotel security. We'll be fine."
Elder Hong glanced at the camera in front of them, gave a few more instructions to the bodyguards, and then followed Elder Huo into the elevator.
As soon as the two grandfathers left, Chaochao's little face sank. He reached out his hand to one of the bodyguards.
The bodyguard quickly handed him a tablet.
Chaochao took Mumu to a corner and sat down, then opened the tablet and typed in the name "Huo Ding".
They had been so anxious at Grandpa Huo's house all afternoon. They didn't object to their mother finding them a stepfather, but only if this man could pass their test first.
If the two grandfathers hadn't chatted for a while and taken them out to play, they would have already searched the internet for this man named Huo Ding.
Huo Ding, male, twenty-nine years old, PhD in Medicine, 185cm tall.
"Hmph! Why not, let's talk!" Chaochao winked at the bodyguard following them and walked towards the resting area with his short legs.
Nan Xiao followed them closely, holding Mumu, and after the three of them sat down in the resting area, he thoughtfully ordered two ice creams for the children.
Mumu's big eyes lit up when she saw the matcha-flavored ice cream, but she didn't reach for it.
Nan Xiao smiled and handed her the ice cream.
Chaochao, seeing that his sister was about to take it, warned, "Be careful, a bad guy might poison you!"
Mumu quickly withdrew her hand.
Nan Xiao frowned slightly, "Did your mother tell you I was a bad guy?"
Chaochao straightened his back and said disdainfully, "You have 'bad guy' written all over your face. Do I need my mother to tell me?"
Nan Xiao shook his head helplessly, "I'm not a bad guy. I'm your mother's... uncle. My name is Nan Xiao. Let's get acquainted. What are your names?"
"Hmph!" Chaochao turned his head away indignantly.
Mumu secretly glanced at her brother. She felt her brother was being impolite, so she replied in a milky voice, "My name is Mumu, and my brother's name is Chaochao~"
Nan Xiao affectionately petted Mumu's little head, "Chaochao Mumu... what nice names!"
He knew Xi Bao didn't want to see him, but looking at these two children, he suddenly felt reluctant to leave.
Even if Xi Bao got angry when she saw him, he still wanted to spend more time with these two adorable little ones.
Especially the soft and cute little girl beside him, who gave him an indescribable sense of closeness.
