For Zhu Qianying, as long as she can see her beloved son, it doesn't really matter how they meet or spend time together.

So when Ji Huan offered her a nominal position, she inquired and discovered that there was an outdoor instructor position among them, and immediately expressed that she wanted to take the job.

Spending time with your son doesn't necessarily mean being by his side every single moment.

Watching him, guiding him, and accompanying him to complete challenges he has never tried before—that's also called being there for him.

The group of children who came to participate in the winter camp were mostly lively and active kids. Sitting on the bus, Zhu Qianying could only hear the children chattering and playing all around her.

As the youngest child in the group that Zhu Qianying was in charge of, it was only natural for the person in charge to instruct Zhu Qianying, who was also the outdoor instructor, and her assistant to keep a close eye on him.

So, Zizai and Beibei Guoguo naturally sat down next to Zhu Qianying.

The three little ones were clear that in front of others, they would call Coach Shadow loudly and clearly. Whether it was Zizai, Beibei, or Guoguo, the way they addressed each other was the same as the other children.

Zizai only whispers "Mommy" when he's playing and burying his head in Zhu Qianying's ear.

When the person in charge was arranging the accommodation for the night, he asked Zhu Qianying.

"Shadow Coach, Zizai's parents would like someone to sleep with him at night. The assistant is in charge of another little girl, so could you please stay with Zizai for the next two nights?"

It's unclear whether Ji Huan gave prior notice or if this arrangement was purely coincidental.

Zhu Qianying was naturally delighted with this arrangement.

"Sure, but I'm afraid I might not be able to take good care of him. Beibei and Guoguo are his cousins, so they can share a room with me. Anyway, it's a double room."

The person in charge thought it made sense, so when arranging the list of guests for the night, he wrote the names of the three boys, Beibei Guoguo, and Zhu Qianying together.

The first day's activity was a mountain climbing activity at a famous scenic spot in R City, a mountain that is known for being both steep and precipitous.

After driving for nearly two hours after leaving R City, the car finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The buses were fifty-seat buses, each carrying two groups of children, instructors, and assistants. After the buses stopped, the instructors instructed the children to check their backpacks, ensuring they contained essential items such as water, dry food, first-aid supplies, and warm clothing. They were advised to bring as little as possible of unnecessary items to reduce the burden during the climb.

When Zizai was very young, he followed Zhu Qianying everywhere, so he was much more skilled and efficient at tidying up these things than his two older brothers and sisters, Beibei and Guoguo.

He first tidied up his own things, then decisively handed his backpack to Zhu Qianying. "Coach Shadow, please check!"

After receiving praise from Zhu Qianying for "doing it quickly and well", Beibei Guoguo immediately ran to check on her older siblings' backpacks, urging them to take out any unnecessary items and add any missing essentials. Soon, Beibei Guoguo also completed her backpack setup at a very fast pace.

Zhu Qianying and her assistant praised the three little ones, and the three little rascals then turned around and went to help the other children check and pack their backpacks. With the help of the three little ones, the group of twenty children finished packing their backpacks in no time.

Meanwhile, in the other group, most of the children were still packing in a chaotic and disorganized manner, either missing this or that, or just stuffing things haphazardly into their backpacks. Only a few children who had participated in similar activities before had their backpacks ready by the time Zizai's group finished.

The children in Zhu Qianying's group, who had packed their backpacks in advance, were led off the bus by their coach and assistant.

The temperature in January was a bit low, but the sun was shining brightly. Zhu Qianying led her group of twenty children to stand on the large lawn at the foot of the mountain. First, she had the children line up in two rows and take several group photos with the green mountains as a backdrop. Then, she let the children play freely on the lawn.

Zizai, Beibei, and Guoguo naturally clung to her. While the life assistant led the other children to play hide-and-seek at the artificial hill on the other side, Zhu Qianying sat on the grass, arms outstretched, encircling all three children in her arms.

Zizai nestled in her arms, his little hands wrapped around her neck, their attitude very affectionate.

"Mommy, Daddy said he was going to find you. Did he bring you back?"

Zhu Qianying was startled. Young Master Yan had come looking for her? Where was he looking? In China? Or abroad?

"No, Mommy came back on her own." Zhu Qianying didn't know what Yan Shao had told Zizai, so she could only tell the important parts.

Only then did Zizai reveal the fear and panic he felt after receiving Yanhan's phone call the day before. "He said he couldn't find Mommy at the place where Zizai and Mommy live, and Zizai was so scared..."

"Silly boy, Mommy's fine, don't be afraid!"

This little guy, ever since he started to understand things, has been fearless. There are very few things that can frighten him. Therefore, Zhu Qianying felt very guilty, knowing that she had scared her son this time.

It seemed that Beibei and Guoguo knew that Zizai wanted to have a long heart-to-heart talk with his aunt. The two of them took out their iPads from their backpacks to play games early on. They even put on their headphones, so Beibei and Guoguo didn't hear either of their private chat.

"Mommy, will I be able to see you more often from now on... like before?"

Actually, even in the past, when Zhu Qianying was busy, it was impossible for her to see and spend time with the little one every day.

Therefore, Zizai doesn't dare to ask for too much. He just hopes that, like before, his mother can spend two or three days a week with him, tell him stories, hug him, and lull him to sleep.

Zhu Qianying was in a dilemma. Putting aside work, Zizai had already been sent back to the Yan family, and she could no longer accompany him as she had when they were abroad.

"Zizai, have you forgotten what Mommy said? Anyway, Mommy will try her best to spend more time with you, but you can't tell your grandparents or your dad about the things you've met with Mommy, understand?"

As far as Zhu Qianying knew, the R City Children's Palace held similar closed-door activities almost every week. As long as Zizai insisted on participating, it wouldn't be difficult for her to sneak in.

As for what to do next, she wants to wait until Ying Jewelry's new collection for this season is launched before making a decision.

Cheng Ye didn't mention what happened in Country M, and she wasn't sure if those thugs had stopped.

Or perhaps, this threat and harassment will continue until Ying Jewelry's new products are launched.
