When they arrived at the restaurant, Yuanyuan climbed onto Lin Wanwan.

"We've already eaten, you can order whatever you want."

Lu Feng sat to Lin Wanwan's left, looking down at his wife and children.

My heart ached terribly; I felt like I had let them down.

"Yuanyuan, tell Mommy, are you still scared?"

Yuanyuan trembled slightly and snuggled up to Lin Wanwan.

"I'm not afraid because my mom is here."

“The bad guy Yuanyuan has been caught. You don’t have to worry about her coming back to find you. From now on, your dad, mom, uncle, and other relatives will protect you.”

Yuanyuan nodded obediently, "Mom, can you pick me up from school from now on? Other classmates are picked up by their parents, but my brother and I are only picked up by our grandma."

Lin Wan felt a pang of sadness, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

After a long pause, she choked up and said, "Okay, but Mom and Dad are both very busy with work. Mom can't guarantee that she'll pick you up from school every day, but she'll go whenever she has free time, okay? At least twice a week, okay?"

Yuanyuan hugged her tightly, saying, "I know, Mom and Dad have to earn money to support me and my brother."

Lin Wanwan felt a pang of sadness. She had been very busy these past few years and had very little time to spend with her child.

When he was little, Lin Wanwan rarely held him so as not to make Tuanzi jealous.

As I thought about it, my eyes welled up with tears.

"I'm sorry, Yuanyuan. Have I not spent enough time with you? Do you not like me anymore?"

Yuanyuan looked up at her and said, "No, I love my mom the most. She's the prettiest, she writes stories, draws pictures for me, makes clothes for me, and earns a lot of money. She's even better than my classmates' moms."

"Thank you, baby. Mommy will try to spend more time with you in the future, okay?"

“Okay, my brother and I miss Mom a lot. Sometimes when you’re busy and not home, my brother and I eat one less bowl of rice.”

Lin Wanwan burst out laughing at his joke.

"Really? You miss me that much?"

"Yes, the older brother is more like her. The older brother loves Mom the most."

"Then you don't like me?"

Lin Wanwan reached out and tickled him.

Yuanyuan sat next to her, wriggling like a caterpillar.

Lu Feng felt a pang of sadness and stroked Yuan Yuan's head, "Don't you like Daddy?"

"I love my dad the most if he doesn't make me do horse stance."

He made everyone at the table laugh.

Lin Wanwan pinched his cheek. "Where did you learn to bargain? Your father works very hard too."

Yuanyuan immediately reached out her hand to Cheng Jinyan, who was to Lin Wanwan's right.

“Then I prefer my cautious uncle.”

Lin Wanwan held him tightly, and he kept flailing his arms, crying, "Uncle, please save me."

Cheng Jinyan reached out and pulled him into her arms.

"Why do you like me more?" Cheng Jinyan pinched his round little face.

"Because my dad made me do horse stance, my uncle bought me toys."

"Yes, you only remember that I bought you toys. You and your mother are even the same in personality, all you know is how to act cute."

Lin Wanwan leaned on Lu Feng's shoulder and looked at him, "You can say whatever you want about him, but don't drag me into it, I'm completely innocent."

Lu Anyang laughed and said, "It really is like you, with the same personality, always knowing how to act cute and charming."

Lin Wanwan looked up at Lu Feng and said, "Take care of him, your brother is bullying me."

Lu Feng reached out and patted the top of her head.

"Alright, alright, you're all family. Xiaohai, please help me."

Lin Xiaohai deliberately feigned a troubled expression, "But I think they're all right."

"Yuanyuan, they're bullying Mommy, please help me!"

Yuanyuan nestled in Cheng Jinyan's arms and giggled.

"Senior brother, this is for you," Lin Wanwan reached out and pinched his cheek. "Lu Yuanyuan, you can live with your uncle from now on."

Yuanyuan immediately raised her hand and cheered, "Yay! Uncle bought me lots and lots of toys!"

Cheng Jinyan chuckled and said, "Alright then, come home with me when we get back to Beijing."

Her round eyes darted around. "Can I bring my brother along too? I can't be separated from him."

Cheng Jinyan looked down at him and said, "You have quite a lot of demands."

"My mother said that you should never wrong yourself."

"Now you know I'm your mother?"

After dinner, everyone prepared to go back to the hotel to rest for a day before returning to Beijing the next day.

Lin Wanwan reached out to hug Yuanyuan, but Yuanyuan immediately hugged Cheng Jinyan tightly, saying, "I want to be with my uncle."

“Hey, then you should go back to Beijing with your uncle.”

Lin Wanwan couldn't do anything about him, so she went back to her room with Lu Feng.

"Go wash up and rest. You look unshaven. Have you finished your work at the office?"

Lu Feng turned to look at her.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lu Feng stepped forward and hugged her. "I'm sorry I'm late. I feel guilty for leaving you to face this alone. I feel so sorry for you and the baby."

Lin Wanwan hugged him and sighed, "I was really scared at first. When I found out Yuanyuan was here, I came over without thinking. I know the nature of your work."

"Don't worry about me at home. I'm not a sensitive or fragile person. I know you care about me and the children, and that's enough."

Lu Feng's eyes reddened, and he held her tightly, refusing to let go.

Lin Wanwan felt the dampness on her shoulder and said softly, "We all have our own ideals and things we want to do. You didn't ask me to stay at home and be a good wife and mother."

Instead, they gave me their greatest support and understanding, which made me very happy. I feel the same way about you; I also hope to give you my greatest support and understanding because I love you, and therefore I hope you can achieve your dreams.
