The child holding onto his mother was eager to press his whole little face against hers, as if only in this way could he forever enjoy his mother’s care and warmth.
Ye Ning felt a sudden pang of sadness, realizing she hadn’t properly seen this child since waking from her recovery. She couldn’t help but hold him tighter, "Alright, teacher, we’ll head home now."
"Okay, go ahead. There’s some crafts to do tonight. Mrs. Ou can complete them with him after returning home." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Ye Ning bid farewell to the teacher and then carried the child out of the classroom.
Coming out with the child, she hadn’t anticipated that the kindergarten entrance wouldn’t be less crowded. Instead, because of the arrival of her, the "Mrs. Ou," many people had gathered, circling round and round, more lively than monkeys examining foreign mirrors.
"Did you see that? That’s Mrs. Ou, the one I just talked to you about. You see her now, right?"
"Really? It’s hard to believe. The young mistress of the Ou family is so young, and look at her attire, so unpretentious, just like an ordinary family."
"What do you know? This is what a true noble family is all about. You think nobility is dressed up with high-end clothing and luxurious expensive jewelry? I’m telling you, true nobility doesn’t care about that because she doesn’t need those things to uphold her face!"
These words were quite harsh, instantly causing many wealthy noble ladies in the crowd to lower their heads in shame and distress.
Ye Ning heard this and couldn’t help but smile because she actually wanted to say she’s not a noble lady; she’s very poor, with no money.
However, when she saw those noble ladies stimulated by this, many left awkwardly, conveniently opening up a path for her. She shut her mouth and directly took the child out, heading towards her little Toyota.
Look at this, a true noble family doesn’t even need to dress up their car. Driving a small broken Toyota, she still stands out in the crowd!
A trace of boredom flashed across Ye Ning’s face. Taking out the car key, she opened the car door, "Xiaobao, where do you want to go? To Dad’s company or home?"
Today was unexpected. Although agreed upon, she was supposed to drop off the child. But today unexpectedly, she was entrusted with picking him up, so she definitely had to ask where the child was supposed to be sent.
Ou Xiaobao was still immersed in the joy of seeing his mom. Hearing her ask where she would take him, he answered without thinking, "Home, Mom, I want to eat the wontons you make. It’s been a long time since you’ve made them for me."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ning furrowed her brow.
Making wontons for him wasn’t impossible, but there’s a pile of work waiting for her in the shop, and besides, she didn’t want to go home with him now because that place had nothing to do with her anymore.
So after placing him in the car, she tried to negotiate, "Want to eat wontons? How about mom first takes you to eat them outside, and then sends you back. Is that good?"
"Where would we eat?"
"Outside, mom will buy the best for you."
"How can that be? Outside food cannot compare to the ones mom makes."
"Mom, are you leaving me? The people in the yard said mom won’t come back anymore. Is it true you don’t want Xiaobao anymore?"
