“…”
Nian Xiaomu was taken aback. Right away, she nodded her head quickly and said, “Yes, I am really your Mommy. Xiao Liuliu is not a child without a mother—I am your biological mother!”
Since Nian Xiaomu wasn’t by her side during the previous three years, she was a little worried about Xiao Liuliu getting angry after she finished speaking.
The situation had resulted in her being laughed at and bullied by other kids of the same age.
Just when Nian Xiaomu was about to apologize to her, Xiao Liuliu’s suddenly pointed at Nian Xiaomu’s stomach with her hand.
She asked naively, “In the past, did Xiao Liuliu stay in there too?”
“…”
“Teacher said that every kid stayed in their mother’s tummy when they were very, very young, but Xiao Liuliu did not have a mother…”
“You have one! You stayed in my tummy in the past as well!” Nian Xiaomu snapped back to her senses and replied to her swiftly.
Afraid that Xiao Liuliu did not believe her, she reached out and lifted her shirt up.
Pointing at the scar left behind from the cesarean section, Nian Xiaomu told her, “Xiao Liuliu stayed in Mommy’s tummy when you were very, very young and came out of Mommy’s tummy when you grew up afterward. Here is the footstep that you left behind when you came out of Mommy’s tummy.”
Nian Xiaomu rolled her shirt down and hugged Xiao Liuliu tightly.
With a guilty look, she said, “Xiao Liuliu, Mommy will always be by your side from now on. I will never leave you behind anymore!”
“Is it here?” Xiao Liuliu seemed to be very interested in that scar as she blinked her pair of huge eyes.
She lifted Nain Xiaomu’s shirt up with her chubby little hand and stroked Nian Xiaomu’s tummy gently with her delicate fingers.
The next second, she suddenly lifted her head up. Pouting her tiny lips, she asked, “Was Mommy in pain when Xiao Liuliu came out?”
“…”
“Xiao Liuliu will blow on it for you—it will not be painful after I blow on it!” As she said that, she leaned toward Nian Xiaomu’s tummy and blew on the scar first. Then, she followed up by kissing it.
She threw herself into Nian Xiaomu’s embrace and cooed softly, “Mommy, hug me!”
“…”
Nian Xiaomu’s eyes reddened when she heard those three simple words.
She had once imagined what it would be like when she told Xiao Liuliu the truth.
She had once thought of the possibility of Xiao Liuliu being unable to accept it.
She had once thought of the possibility of Xiao Liuliu being unable to understand it.
However, it had never crossed her mind that Xiao Liuliu would understand what she meant; not only did Xiao Liuliu not blame her, she even said such things to her…
Nian Xiaomu hugged the soft and cuddly body in her embrace tightly as she showered her tiny face with lots of kisses.
She tilted her head up slightly to prevent her tears from pouring out.
“Miss Nian, we have reached the school.” The car stopped outside the kindergarten.
Nian Xiaomu reached out hurriedly and wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes. Carrying Xiao Liuliu in her arms, she pushed the car door open.
The kindergarten teacher at the reception came forward to welcome Nian Xiaomu the moment she saw her.
The teacher hugged Xiao Liuliu happily when she saw her. After that, she lead them inside to collect Xiao Liuliu’s homework for the winter holiday.
“This is a reward for Xiao Liuliu. Xiao Liuliu has performed extremely well in school, and that’s because her parents have taught her well. Therefore, this is a reward for you as well.” The teacher gave Nian Xiaomu a few tiny red flowers.
A set of playdough was placed together with the tiny red flowers too.
“The playdough is molded into a family of three. I hope you guys will like it,” the teacher said with a smile.
“Thank you.” As Nian Xiaomu took the toys from the teacher, she smiled when she saw that Xiao Liuliu was smiling happily.
After she gathered everything and was about to leave, she saw a familiar figure standing outside the kindergarten.
Someone who should not be at the kindergarten…
Nian Xiaomu was stunned. Passing everything in her hands to the chauffeur, she instructed him to bring this stuff to the car first while she carried Xiao Liuliu and walked toward that figure.
“Fan Yu?”
