The clearest dream she had was where she saw herself transformed into an exceedingly ugly monstrosity.
Seeing her own horrific appearance in the mirror, she was startled awake.
Jolting her eyes open, she heard persistent knocking from outside.
She was about to get up when Rong Shaoze held her shoulder down and whispered, "I’ll go check it out, you keep sleeping."
He opened the door to find Xiaocong standing outside.
Seeing him, Xiaocong greeted him cheerfully, "Daddy, good morning!"
Rong Shaoze rubbed his forehead and said in exasperation, "It’s only six o’clock, why are you up so early?"
Xiaocong’s eyes darted around until landing on his sleeping mother in bed, then he sweetly said, "Daddy, Xiaocong is going to school, will you and Mommy take Xiaocong to school?"
"Let the driver take you. Your mom didn’t get a good rest last night; let her sleep a while longer."
"Oh." Xiaocong nodded his head obediently, though he sounded a bit disappointed.
Lin Xinlan quickly got up and smiled, "It’s okay, let me take him to school."
Rong Shaoze turned around and glared at her, but she pretended not to see it, "Xiaocong, wait for a moment, Mommy will take you to school."
"But Mommy, aren’t you going to get some rest?"
"Mommy has rested enough, don’t listen to Daddy’s nonsense."
Rong Shaoze slammed the door shut fiercely and stepped forward to perilously tilt her chin up, "You better sleep at home, and don’t you dare go anywhere!"
"I can’t sleep; besides, I really want to take Xiaocong to kindergarten." Lin Xinlan said with a smile. In truth, she was scared because she didn’t have much time left, so she wanted to spend as much time as possible with her child.
Rong Shaoze, seeing her stubbornness, said helplessly, "I’ll take you both."
Lin Xinlan immediately cheered up, "Great, let’s go out for breakfast later."
She had been coveting the breakfast from one place for a long time, and the image of the three of them sitting together for breakfast would definitely be very warm.
Xiaocong was very happy today because both Mommy and Daddy took him to school, and they had breakfast outside together.
Sitting in the car, Xiaocong didn’t stop telling Lin Xinlan about the fun things at the kindergarten, and she listened with a smile.
When Xiaocong mentioned that some girls gave him chocolate and cake, his big eyes twinkled with embarrassment.
Lin Xinlan teased him for being liked by girls already, and his cheeks instantly flushed with red.
"Mommy, don’t tease Xiaocong, Xiaocong doesn’t like them, Xiaocong only likes Mommy!"
He buried himself into her arms, looking both shy and awkward.
Lin Xinlan chuckled as she held him and happened to glance out the window, where an amusement park seemed to be nearing completion just across.
"Eh, are they building a new amusement park over there?" she asked curiously.
Rong Shaoze casually answered, "It’s going to be bustling when it opens, we’ll go have fun there together."
Hearing they could go to an amusement park made Xiaocong excited.
"Yay, I want to go play!"
"Wonder when it’ll open," Lin Xinlan murmured softly.
"Probably next month."
Next month wasn’t too far away; she should be able to go have fun with them.
After dropping Xiaocong off at kindergarten, the couple returned home, and as soon as they entered the house, Lin Xinlan was greeted by a rich aroma that made her stomach growl in response.
Rong’s mother was stewing something in the kitchen and, seeing them return, hurried them to sit down, offering to serve them some soup.
