Aunt Xu Yuan glanced sideways, "It’s nothing, I just ran into Shao Zhiheng by accident."
"So many accidents?" Lu Wanwan chuckled.
Xu Yuan felt a dullness in her heart and quickly changed the subject, "How can you be so care-free, aren’t you afraid of being seen by Shao Zhiheng? If he sees you with two little naibao, what if..."
"Shh." Lu Wanwan gently placed her finger to her lips, her eyes signalling a caution.
Xu Yuan knew that she didn’t really want the little naibao to hear, even if they were asleep, she was still cautious.
She had heard from Lu Wanwan that Annan’s parents were especially eager to see their grandson.
She was worried that if the Gu Family knew she had children, they would never let the children of the Gu Family be left outside.
"I know." Xu Yuan shrugged her shoulders, touching the little girl sleeping soundly in her arms, "That’s why I said, you should be cautious."
Lu Wanwan nodded, "I know."
Xu Yuan squinted with a smile, "I brought you some melatonin for jet lag, hurry up and adjust, be bright and energetic for work. When the time comes, we’ll take more time off to stroll around the streets and alleys, all the places we’ve been to before."
"It’s not like I’m ancient."
"We haven’t seen each other for years, I’ve missed you to death."
Lu Wanwan watched the streetscape flying past the window.
Time flies, six years already.
The car arrived at the house Xu Yuan had helped rent in advance, in the center of Manchester. It wasn’t a very new building, but it was convenient and safe, with a shopping mall and a children’s playground nearby.
"Ding dong dang... dong!"
Upon entering the room, Little Youyou dashed towards the children’s room.
Xu Yuan looked satisfied, "Look, look, isn’t it cute? I especially looked for a place with a children’s room and then came over to tidy up myself for a week. Look at this bed, it’s a super cute bunk bed I bought new."
Lu Wanwan hurried to her own room to have a look, teary-eyed, "Don’t make the difference in treatment too big. They sleep in new beds, and even the curtains, carpet, wallpaper, bedsheets were all personally picked by you! I just get to sleep on a wooden bed!"
Xu Yuan coughed awkwardly, "I’ve ordered a new mattress for you online too, it just hasn’t been delivered yet. If it doesn’t come today, you might have to squeeze in with them."
"..." She has to squeeze into a children’s bed with the kids?
After settling in, the two little naibao were so sleepy they couldn’t take it anymore.
Lu Wanwan thought about how they had eaten on the plane, but just couldn’t sleep well, so she let them sleep first.
There were still some things in the house that needed to be bought, and it wasn’t convenient to shop while bringing them along.
"Little Momo, take good care of your sister."
"Don’t worry, Mommy!"
No sooner had Lu Wanwan and Xu Yuan left, than Little Momo was wide awake.
Suddenly, a small head appeared upside down from the top bunk.
Little Momo glanced at her sister’s floating black hair and said helplessly, "I’m not afraid of ghosts."
Little Youyou blinked, "Brother, I overheard a little bit in the car. Aunt Xu Yuan mentioned someone named something like ’spoon’, and Mommy seemed really scared of him seeing us. Brother, why do you think that is?"
"It must be Shao Zhiheng." Little Momo pronounced with perfect diction and shrugged, "I heard it too."
Little Youyou’s eyes sparkled with eagerness, "So, is Daddy really here? Is he truly here?"
"I don’t know." Little Momo propped his arms under his head, thought for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Don’t you like Uncle Bai?’
Little Youyou pouted, her worries evident in her voice, "But Uncle Bai is not Daddy. I’m afraid Uncle Bai might not like us, and then Mommy won’t have anyone. I think Uncle Bai can only be a backup."
