Song Yan placed a plate of dumplings in front of the two of them and waved it around. "My two darlings are the most obedient, so I saved so many for them to eat tomorrow morning."

“I’m my second aunt’s darling, I’ll be obedient,” Wei Anxian declared.

Wei Ping was a little conflicted. If he didn't listen, wouldn't he no longer be his second aunt's darling? "I'll listen too." His voice was soft, clearly not very happy.

Song Yan kissed him on the cheek. "My little Pingping, I'm so glad you're being good."

Wei Ping was visibly happy to be kissed.

Wei An offered his face: "Me too."

Song Yan didn't hesitate to kiss Wei An on the cheek as well.

Wei Aiguo: Why does she always love children so much?

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "How come I never realized you liked children so much!"

"I'm really good to my cousin!" Song Yan's two previous boyfriends were both pretty jerks. One dumped her because she owned a house, and the other because his mother had multiple chronic illnesses and he thought marrying a daughter-in-law who could treat medicine would be convenient. Song Yan, with her fiery temper, dumped both of them. So much so that years later, she didn't want to find a partner or get married.

She could have easily pretended not to know, gotten married, had the baby, and then dumped him or her husband. Now, she had two adorable little ones without lifting a finger.

When Jiang Xiaoxiao left, Song Yan told her to take a small bowl back to Li Yuanzhao so she could taste it. It was also a way of thanking her for protecting her today.

It wasn't dark yet, but Song Yan insisted on escorting Jiang Xiaoxiao, stopping far from the educated youth settlement and only returning after seeing Xiaoxiao go inside…
