The next morning, Li An’an sent the children to kindergarten. As she did not sleep well last night, she was in low spirits. Nevertheless, she woke up early and helped the children get dressed and put on their masks. She sternly warned Knight not to bully Princess, not to tear down the house, and not to go out. When she opened the door, she was stunned. A tall and upright figure was standing at the doorway.
“You, you’ve been here all night?” Looking at Chu Yichen’s handsome face, she felt a little guilty.
Chu Yichen pinched the space between his eyebrows. “I slept in the car last night, but I waited outside the door for half an hour this morning. I’m sending the children to school now!” Chu Yichen bent down and picked Baobao up.
Baobao said tearfully, “Daddy, I hope it doesn’t hurt. Next time, Baobao will ask Mommy to find a soft washboard for you to kneel on…” She wanted to rescue Daddy too, but her mommy’s fury was frightening and she couldn’t help him.
Hearing this, Chu Yichen frowned and looked at Li An’an. Li An’an hurriedly explained, “I didn’t say that.” Why would she say such a thing?
“They say that on TV…” Baobao explained with a smile.
Chu Yichen stroked Junjun and Jùnjùn’s heads. “In the future, tell her to watch less nonsense on TV. We can talk more about the washboard in private!” Li An’an was flabbergasted!
When they arrived downstairs, Li Cheng was already waiting outside the car. His suit was a little wrinkled, and it was obvious that he had slept in the car yesterday. Li An’an was too embarrassed to greet him, although she was not in the wrong. Whoever said that she had to open the door?
“Junjun, Jùnjùn and Baobao, goodbye…” When they arrived at the kindergarten,
Li An’an smiled and waved at them.
“Bye, Mommy!” The three children obediently walked towards the kindergarten.
Li An’an adjusted her mask, lowered her cap, and walked back. There was a competition tomorrow, and she had to study the recipes today. She had already made a bold promise that she wouldn’t be defeated by Ji Yin. This concerned not only herself, but also Fu Yiheng’s face.
Before she could take more than a couple of steps, Chu Yichen grabbed her hand. “I haven’t had breakfast yet. Eat with me.” He sounded like he wasn’t going to take “no” for an answer. Li An’an saw that he obviously hadn’t slept well, so she compromised.
Chu Yichen took her to an old shop and ordered crab roe dumplings, shrimp dumplings, fish porridge, and chicken soup.
Li An’an ate the bun slowly. She couldn’t get over it. Chu Yichen had really spent the night in his car. A man of his social status would put up with being bullied like this.
“If you feel guilty, finish all the food we’ve ordered!” Chu Yichen said gently.
Li An’an didn’t feel guilty, but she tried her best to finish up all the food that had been served up. She was hoping to get home early.
Chu Yichen was halfway through his meal when he received a call from home.
“Yichen, where’s my granddaughter? Where did you take her? She hasn’t been home for the past few days. Where’s Junjun and Jbnjbn? Do you not like them anymore and don’t care about them? If so, let me have their family address. I’ll go pick them up.” Bai Dong finally couldn’t sit still anymore. Her son had been very busy for the past two days attending to matters concerning the cruise ship, so she didn’t ask where the children were. She almost cried when she saw the children’s empty bedroom in the morning.
Only a few days ago, the house was bustling with activity, but now it was so deserted. Looking at the children’s toys and thinking of their cute voices, she could not help shedding a few tears.
“That’s right, Yichen. If you’re busy, leave the children to us. We’ll take care of them. You don’t have to worry a bit.” Chu Zhenting also spoke up. Recently, whatever he ate didn’t taste good anymore. He felt that something was missing! Although they weren’t related by blood, he already doted on these three children from the bottom of his heart..
