Mistaken for the Little Adorable

The little guy on the other end snorted, “Hmph, good to see you still remember you have a home. I thought you were gonna live at the research institute forever, forgetting you have two adorable kids!”

Nan Zhiyi knew her son’s temper, so she smiled sweetly, “How could I forget? You two are my precious darlings! Mommy loves you so much! Mwah~ mwah~”

The kid on the phone was immediately soothed and stopped messing with the computer.

“Hmph, that’s better. You’ve got half an hour to get home, or I’ll keep attacking the research institute.”

With that, he hung up, all proud and a little sassy.

Nan Zhiyi let out a sigh of relief and gave an “OK” sign to everyone in the room.

The whole team wiped the sweat off their brows and got back to work.

Assistant Annie walked in with some files and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Who would’ve thought a room full of top-notch professionals would be constantly threatened by two little troublemakers?

Nan Zhiyi shook her head helplessly.

Everyone knew her two little ones were as stubborn as can be.

They actually took after that jerk Di Shijing — same attitude!

After that night years ago, Nan Zhiyi went back to the Nan family only to be kicked out by her own parents.

She thought she’d have no more dealings with Di Shijing for the rest of her life.

But fate had other plans — she was pregnant… with quadruplets.

Because of her condition, aborting could mean lifelong infertility, so the doctor advised against it.

Alone and far from home, with no family around, Nan Zhiyi thought it over and decided to keep the babies.

Unfortunately, complications during delivery caused her to lose one boy and one girl.

Now, only a pair of siblings were left.

Her two kids were incredibly smart.

The eldest, Nan Junxian, was steady and mature, loved programming, spoke four languages, and was skilled at calligraphy and painting — truly multi-talented.

The younger, Nan Junmu, was lively and energetic, took after Nan Zhiyi’s interests in perfumery and medicine, always coming up with clever ideas and knowing remedies for common ailments.

Wherever they went, they were adored!

Thinking of them, Nan Zhiyi’s heart softened.

“I gotta go now,” she said, taking off her lab coat, muttering, “If I’m not home in half an hour, the research institute’s going to get hit again.”

“Go on,” Annie smiled, reminding her, “Don’t forget to pack — you’re flying back home tomorrow.”

Nan Zhiyi frowned. Over the years, besides her medical achievements, she and her best friend Sheng Shiyu started a perfume company called Zeling.

Thanks to their original formulas, they were a big name internationally and had countless collaboration requests.

This time, the company’s branch was expanding domestically, originally led by Sheng Shiyu.

But Sheng’s mother was seriously ill, so Nan Zhiyi was called back to help manage things.

“Got it. See you at the airport tomorrow,” Nan Zhiyi replied, a bit frustrated, and said goodbye to Annie.

She hurried home, only to get scolded by her two little troublemakers.

The next day at the airport, she looked exhausted.

But her two little stars? Totally cool and perfect, both wearing sunglasses like international celebrities.

Their handsome faces looked like they’d been sculpted by the gods.

They attracted a lot of attention, and some people even took out their phones to snap photos.

Annie tugged her luggage, laughing, “Feels like you gave birth to two little bosses.”

Nan Zhiyi glanced at the playful pair ahead and replied, “Tell me about it.”

The two kids’ ears perked up at that.

They turned and said, “Mommy deserves it — she works so hard she forgets to take care of herself.”

Junmu, who always followed his brother’s lead, chimed in in his baby voice, “Yeah, if we didn’t watch her, who knows what would happen…”

Just as the two started their usual nagging, Nan Zhiyi hurried to say, “Okay, okay, you’re right, babies!”

Before long, they boarded the plane.

After ten hours of flying, Nan Zhiyi finally had some peace and quiet.

When they landed, still half asleep and dazed, she asked Annie to watch the kids and luggage while she freshened up in the restroom.

Annie happily agreed.

After splashing cold water on her face, Nan Zhiyi felt more awake and came out of the restroom.

She was immediately surprised to see her kids.

Junxian had arrived wearing a casual set with sunglasses, but in the blink of an eye, he’d changed into a neat little suit.

Junmu was the same — from a sweet floral dress to a fancy pink princess dress.

They looked so formal!

Nan Zhiyi laughed and teased, “Kids, aren’t you a bit over-dressed? You’re just meeting your godmother, not going to a ball.”

The two little ones looked at her, puzzled.

Was this pretty lady really talking to them?
