Qiao Zhen looked up and said, "It's nothing, they are about to get out of class. Do you have any plans later? Would you like to go for a walk with us to the park nearby?"

Before An Xiaonuan received Ziyan, she was busy with a company trip and didn't have time to explore the surrounding area, so she had no idea there was a park nearby. She happily agreed upon hearing about it.

It's still early, so she played with Ziyan for a while before going to pick up Ziru and Zuyu together. What a perfect arrangement!

So she took Ziyan, Qiaozhen, and her daughter to the park to play.

A while later, "Having fun?" An Xiaonuan looked at Ye Ziyue's flushed little face and asked.

"I'm so happy!" This was her first real friend, and she finally wouldn't have to play with the silent dolls anymore. Night Ziyan exclaimed happily.

An Xiaonuan patted her head and said, "If you like her, Mommy will invite them to play at home later, okay?"

"Okay, thank you, Mom!" Yezhiyan looked up, her little face filled with happiness.

It had been ten minutes for each of them, but there was no decrease in the smile on her face. An Xiaonuan couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek, complaining: "Do you like them so much that you forget your mother?"

Just now when she was playing with them in the park, she totally forgot I was her mom!

"Ziyan loves Mommy the most!" Ye Ziyan saw her mother pouting and quickly went forward to hug her.

Children are most sensitive to changes in emotion. She knows her mother is pretending to be angry, but that doesn't stop her from trying to cheer her up, does it?

An Xiaonuan was unaware of her little princess's mischievous thoughts. She was simply embraced by her like that, and all the previous grievances vanished.

Ziyan is really such an angel!

Ye Mingjue parked his car on the roadside and saw this scene before him.

Seeing the embracing mother and daughter, a faint smile involuntarily curved his lips.

Then he took out his phone and quietly took a picture of the scene, setting it as his desktop wallpaper.

After doing all that, he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.

"Dad!" Ye Ziyān saw Ye Mingjue from afar and immediately ran towards him with open arms.

An Xiaonuan was afraid she would fall, so she ran after her too.

Then she also ran to Ye Mingjue's side, and the mother and daughter were both embraced by him into his arms.

"What are you doing, there are so many people on the street!" An Xiaonuan said nervously, looking at the crowd around her while being held by him.

Ye Mingjue also knew she was easily shy, so after a brief hug, he let go and then held Ye Ziyue in his arms while leading her by the hand onto the car.

"Make sure you're buckled in, we're going to pick up big brother." An Xiaonuan placed Ziyān in the child-specific seat and instructed.

Then the three of them drove to the school gate of Ye Ziyu and Ye Ziru.

When they reached the door, the two brothers were already waiting there. Seeing that it was An Xiaonuan who had gotten out of the car, the teacher standing beside them let the two children out the door and then turned back to the school.

"Mom! How come you came to pick me up today?" Yezierun asked as he ran.

Compared to his outgoing enthusiasm, Ye Ziyu's demeanor was much more reserved.

But his steps were much faster than usual, and the corners of his mouth were constantly rising.

An Xiaonuan held one hand in each, and said, “It’s Friday today, I’ll take you both out for a big meal.”

"Alright, alright, what are we having for dinner tonight?" Ye ZiRui was the first to call out. He'd been at school for so long, he'd been craving outside food for ages.

Ye Ziyu was riding the mountain trolley and chatting with Ye Ziyan. He didn't participate in the discussion about food.

Then, the whole family enjoyed a delicious hot pot meal.

When returning home, both Ye Zi Rui and Ye Zi Yan kept patting their round bellies, looking very satisfied.

Ye Ziyu rolled her eyes and then asked An Xiao'nuan, "Mom, where are we going to play tomorrow?"

Saturday and Sunday are opportunities for their family of five to get together, which he has been looking forward to for a long time.

"Do you have anywhere you'd like to go?" An Xiaonuan always respected the children's ideas.

"The observatory."

"Amusement park."

"The Grand Theatre."

After the three children finished speaking, they looked at each other, trying to discourage each other with their eyes.

But An Xiaonuan easily resolved the issue of conflicting opinions. She thought for a moment and said, "How about we go to the planetarium first, then to the opera house, and on the second day, to the amusement park?"

"Great!" All three children were happy this time.

However, they didn't expect that in the end, none of them made it.

On Saturday morning, the sun was shining brightly. An Xiaonuan reached out to touch her noisy phone, but before her hand even left the covers, she was grabbed by a man's hand.

Ye Mingjue turned off her phone and then pulled her closer to his chest, soothingly saying, "It's okay, just sleep a little longer."

An Xiaonuan was also exhausted last night, soothed by the man's soft whispers, she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

When I woke up, the space next to me was empty.

An Xiaonuan looked at the time somewhat dazedly, then suddenly woke up.

It's already 10:30! My God, haven't they arrived at the planetarium yet? Why hasn't anyone called her?

She was dressing and washing up while calling Ye Mingjue: "Why didn't you wake me up? Are you at the observatory now?"

"Mom, we're in the living room. We have guests at home." But on the other end of the phone wasn't Ye Mingjue's voice, but Ye Ziru's.

"Guest? Who?" Who would come to their house to play on the weekend?

"She said her name is Qiaozhen, she's your friend, and she brought a little sister who's playing with Ziyue right now," Ye ZiRui glanced at his younger sister Ye Ziyue who was happily playing, and added, "My sister said she can't go to the opera house anymore, she's very disappointed."

An Xiaonuan:：“……”Son, you're really skilled at talking nonsense with your eyes open.

Ye Zi Rui didn't know that his little tricks had already been seen through by An Xiao Nuann, and he was still continuing to say to An Xiao Nuann.

Thus, the mother and son chatted over the phone, separated by a floor.

By the time An Xiaonuan finished washing up and went downstairs, half an hour had passed.

"Jenny, how did you have time to come today? Didn't you say you were going out to play with Mindy?" They had even discussed where to go yesterday. Unexpectedly, she came straight to their house today.

"I tried calling you this morning, but your phone kept going straight to voicemail, so I could only come over with Min'er first. Sorry for the disturbance." As soon as An Xiaonuan arrived, Qiao Zhen felt the pressure on her shoulders ease. Turning to look at Ye Mingjue, she realized that his eyes had already followed An Xiaonuan.

"It's okay, you happened to come just in time to play with us. Ziyue really likes Min'er." An Xiaonuan said as she went to look for Ziyue's figure. But after looking around, she couldn't see anyone, not even Ye Ziyu and Ye Ziru.

Huh? Wasn't Min'er supposed to be here? Where is she?
