at the same time.

Fia ran into a wall in City A, not expecting that Zhou Yuansheng and the others weren't there.

The security guards at the entrance wouldn't let her in either.

Fia could only call Zhou Yuansheng, but unfortunately, neither of them was in the bathroom and didn't have time to answer.

The three kids heard the commotion and ran over to see what was going on.

When Zhou Jiaqi saw the caller ID, the smile on his face immediately disappeared. He pursed his lips, stared at the caller ID, and wasn't very happy.

Hanhan and Peipei also saw the phone, but since they hadn't learned many characters, they didn't recognize the two words and asked about them out of curiosity.

Who called?

"Yeah, Zhou Jiaqi, are you going to answer it? If not, I'll give it to Dad!!"

Peipei said this.

Zhou Jiaqi shook his head and said, "It was my biological mother calling, I don't want to answer."

Peipei immediately became curious and leaned her head very close to look. "Why? Your mother can't take you away, so why are you afraid of her?"

Hanhan said seriously, "If you don't want to answer, then don't answer. I think we should give the phone to Daddy. That's the right thing to do."

Peipei, that clown, immediately picked up the big phone and jumped up, saying, "I'm going to take it to Dad!!"

She perfectly embodied the image of a lackey. Ever since seeing this new father's company, she has greatly admired Zhou Yuansheng. To own such a large company and have such respect from everyone.

Zhou Yuansheng's imposing image was firmly established in Peipei's mind. In addition, she had experienced being a princess in her previous company thanks to this new father, with a group of people swaying around her.

The experience of being the center of attention is so captivating.

I even took a private jet this afternoon!

Peipei's attitude towards her new father is now hundreds of times better.

The little lackey ran off to fawn over him.

Hanhan remained calm throughout. She was never swayed by money or personal gain. Instead, she looked at the dejected Zhou Jiaqi and asked him in her clear, sweet voice, "What are you thinking? Are you afraid of your biological mother, or is it because you haven't seen her in so long that you're afraid to see her?"

Although Hanhan's personality isn't as lively as Peipei's, she's no less intelligent than Peipei. In fact, her intelligence and emotional intelligence are both better than Peipei's.

The little dumpling sat next to another little dumpling, keeping him company.

And I tried to comfort him.

Hanhan's expression was very serious, but her cross-legged sitting posture on the ground was just too cute.

Zhou Jiaqi sat down next to Hanhan, and the little boy said helplessly, "I don't know either. I was too young when she left. I don't even remember her. I always wanted a mommy before because everyone else has a daddy and a mommy, but I only have a daddy. Although my daddy loves me very much, he is too busy. There are always only maids at home."

But the maids and aunties all treated him with utmost respect and never dared to get too close to him. They would only say nice things to him and coax him. They were not family.

Even his grandfather, Mr. He, was still just the housekeeper, despite having watched him grow up. There was a certain distance between them.

Although Grandpa He, the maid, and other relatives all treated him very well.

But none of them were his mother.

Ultimately, they are different.

Zhou Jiaqi doesn't remember what his biological mother looks like or any memories of her, because he was less than a year old at the time. But he does remember the day he met Aunt Jiang, when he was enveloped in endless loneliness.

He was a little out of breath.

Even though he knew his dad loved him very much, his dad always broke his promises because of work.

Zhou Jiaqi didn't want Grandpa He and the maids, so he crawled into the bushes and cried under a big tree, but Aunt Jiang appeared that day.

She wouldn't treat him with excessive deference, nor would she stare at him with envious or jealous eyes.

Zhou Jiaqi remembers that Aunt Jiang's voice was especially gentle that day, and her embrace was especially warm. He felt that he could cry loudly in her arms without any problem.

She even comforted herself.

Almost the moment Zhou Jiaqi saw Aunt Jiang, he felt that she was exactly the kind of mother he had imagined in his mind—so beautiful and so gentle.

He just knew that the word "Mommy" shouldn't be used carelessly.

So I've always kept it hidden in my heart.

It wasn't until Daddy was sure he was with Aunt Jiang that he realized, belatedly, that he was very happy.

Zhou Jiaqi suddenly burst into tears, sobbing like a little puppy, tears streaming down her cheeks, her eyelashes becoming wet, looking so wronged.

"Daddy said that Mommy and he had discussed separating, but they didn't discuss it with me."

“I don’t know how to view my biological mother, but I know that there can only be one daddy and one mommy in a family. I like Aunt Jiang and don’t want her to leave.”

The little one sobbed as he recounted his story.

Hanhan has a great older sister demeanor. Even though she is actually a few months older than Zhou Jiaqi, she is exceptionally sensible because she has an unreliable younger sister.

She knelt down and hugged Zhou Jiaqi, imitating her mother, holding him and patting his back. Then she said in a clear voice, "It's okay. Daddy and Mommy have such a good relationship that they won't separate. It's okay if you don't know how to meet your biological mother now. My mommy said that things you don't understand when you're little will be understood when you grow up. If you still don't understand when you grow up, it means you don't want to understand yet. When you finally understand, you'll naturally understand."

Hanhan was reciting tongue twisters, but Zhou Jiaqi still understood them. He sobbed and cried until his eyes were red, then leaned on Hanhan's shoulder and nodded.

Meanwhile, Peipei was frantically banging on the bathroom door, shouting in her childish voice, "Daddy?! Daddy has your phone number! Daddy? Daddy? Daddy?!"

The two adults in the bathroom were startled, followed by the sound of bottles and jars falling to the floor with a clatter, and an unexpected groan.

Peipei blinked her big eyes and pounded on the bathroom door with her little hands. Her new dad didn't answer, and the phone went out, so she started calling for her own mom.

"Mommy!! Are you in there? Daddy's not here? Mommy!!"

Kids are quite strong, and at this age they don't know how to control their strength very well, so it's common for a child to be able to run away and knock an adult over.

Peipei's scratching at the door was much louder than Zhou Yuansheng's. She called out twice before her mother's voice came through, saying she would be out soon.

Jiang Tong blushed so much she felt like she was going to explode. What man could be so calm and clingy after being caught by the child? She was so angry that she bit him on the shoulder.

Zhou Yuansheng buried his head and chuckled in silence, but then felt helpless. He held Jiang Tong's smooth skin in his hand, how could he bear to let go?

Sigh, it's just like this every day.

Taking care of a child really hinders the development of a relationship.

When the two adults hurriedly came out in their pajamas, Peipei told them that she had left her phone in the room. Zhou Yuansheng came out to pick up his phone and frowned when he saw the caller ID. Meanwhile, Jiang Tong noticed that Zhou Jiaqi was crying.

Hanhan's eyes also reddened; this child is very sensitive and has an exceptionally strong ability to empathize.

Peipei stood there, completely bewildered, staring blankly. She couldn't understand why Zhou Jiaqi had suddenly started crying. She had only turned around to look for her parents a few minutes ago.

It's made the child stupid.
