After getting out of the car, Li An’an went to the store to bring the three babies “Mommy, why are you blushing?” Li An’an licked her lollipop. “New makeup?”
“No, Mommy is just feeling hot. Is the candy good?” Li An’an fanned her face and changed the topic.
“Yes, it’s delicious. Mommy must buy more for Baobao next time.”
Li An’an heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the child didn’t pursue the matter. She also found it strange that Junjun and Jùnjùn weren’t curious at all.
“Mommy ran into my boss just then, so I got into the car to talk to him about work. Do you understand?”
“Yes, I understand, Mommy.”
Junjun and Jùnjùn nodded. Mommy got into Daddy’s car and came out with a red face! They must have quarreled about work. They felt sorry for Mommy.
Seeing that the three kids didn’t ask further, Li An’an smiled to herself. Luckily, the babies didn’t know anything.
“Mommy, why can’t we live with Daddy?” Li Baobao suddenly asked, her hand still pointing into the distance. A father was bringing his daughter to buy hydrogen balloons. He looked like a loving father.
Junjun and Jùnjùn looked over with envy.
Li An’an’s heart ached. “Well…”
The older the children were, the more she didn’t know how to explain. She couldn’t very well tell them that they were picked up from the trash can and didn’t have a father, right? That would also hurt their hearts.
“Your Daddy loves you, but the two of us aren’t suitable for each other.”
Li An’an didn’t want them to think that their Daddy didn’t want them anymore. She was filled with hatred.
“Oh, I understand.”
Li Baobao nodded.
Alright, the next time she saw Daddy, she’d ask for more things. Daddy couldn’t be with them, but he had to give them living expenses. She wanted a hundred hydrogen balloons, the really big ones.
“Mommy, why didn’t you ask Daddy for living expenses?”
Junjun suddenly asked. Mommy was a little silly. Daddy clearly had money, so why didn’t she want it? Why did she have to work so hard alone?
Li An’an replied, “That’s… that’s because your Daddy is very poor. He’s really very poor. The sort of poor that allows you to eat only one meal a day and on the verge of eating dirt. Even if we want him to give us some money, he doesn’t have any. We have to have compassion and not let Daddy starve to death, understand?”
The three babies frowned.
Li Baobao pouted. Was Daddy going to starve to death? Was Daddy very poor?
Daddy ate dirt.
“Mommy, is dirt tasty?” Her eyes lit up.
Li An’an hurriedly interrupted her thoughts. “It’s not tasty. You can’t eat dirt, understand?” She was really worried that this silly Baobao would try it when no one was paying attention.
Li Baobao looked at the dirty soil on the green belt and gave up on the idea.
Li An’an looked at Junjun’s strange expression and felt a little guilty. All the money she had was probably not even comparable to Chu Yichen’s wrist watch, not to mention his other assets.
The kids had to suffer along with her. The problem was that Chu Yichen didn’t know about their existence. What if he didn’t love them? It would be a bigger blow to the kids.
Moreover, she did not want him to know that the three children existed. She could not forgive what happened that day.
Junjun and Jùnjùn looked at each other and whispered.
“Big Brother, we can’t let Mommy work so hard. We have to ask Daddy for living expenses and sue him if he won’t support us.”
Jùnjùn felt that his mommy had to use the law to defend her rights. That was how it was portrayed on television.
“It’s useless. Mommy doesn’t want it, so we can only help Mommy secretly” Li Baobao pricked up her ears. She could help her mommy.
Li An’an looked at the three little ones mumbling among themselves and thought that they were sad.
“Although you don’t have Daddy, you have God-daddy. God-daddy will be back soon. He loves you very much. It’s not like you don’t have anyone to love you. You must not be sad.”
“Uh huh.” The three little fellows nodded. “We love God-daddy. We don’t want our biological Daddy at all because he doesn’t have the money to support us.”
