Xiao Qianqian put down her phone and started eating her noodles.

Just then, the people in the garden walked in as if they had agreed beforehand.

Grandpa joked, "Qianqian, are you sleeping soundly?"

Xiao Qianqian's face instantly turned bright red. Mother Ye smiled and said, "Young people, sleeping more is a good thing." Everyone laughed.

Xiao Qianqian looked up and saw that everyone was looking at her. She smiled shyly.

"Mom and Dad, Grandpa, what brings you here?"

"We thought it was alright, so we called your grandfather to come and keep your master company," Xiao's mother said with a smile.

Seeing her daughter's rosy complexion, she was genuinely happy, and it seemed that the young couple had an excellent relationship.

Her daughter has good taste this time, finding such a good husband.

"Yes, girl, you don't have time to spend with your master, so I'll have to trouble your parents," the master joked.

"Master?" Xiao Qianqian blushed and asked coquettishly.

"Alright, alright, enough joking around. Hurry up and eat your noodles, or they'll get cold. After you finish eating, we'll go pick up Yueyue and the others from school together," Mother Ye said with a smile.

She was secretly delighted and hoped that Xiao Qianqian would sleep in late every day, which would mean that the young couple had a good relationship, and maybe she would be able to hold her grandchild again soon.

"OK."

Xiao Qianqian was so hungry that she didn't care about them anymore. She picked up the noodles and started wolfing them down.

Several elders were a little worried when they saw her eating so quickly.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you," said Xiao's mother from the side.

"Yeah, I'm just too hungry." She said, without slowing down her movements.

Several elders smiled and shook their heads when they saw her like this.

In less than ten minutes, Xiao Qianqian finished a bowl of noodles. She patted her stomach and felt much better.

"Would you like some more?" Mother Ye asked, worried that she hadn't eaten enough, seeing how quickly she was eating.

"No, Mom, we'll eat tonight." Xiao Qianqian smiled awkwardly.

She picked up her phone and checked; the children would be getting out of school soon.

"Mom and Dad, Grandpa, Master, why don't you just wait at home? I'll go pick up the children, and we'll have dinner together tonight."

Mother Ye and Mother Xiao exchanged a glance and smiled.

"Okay, then go pick them up. We'll wait for you at home."

"Oh, by the way, Asen has a meeting tonight and won't be home for dinner."

"Okay, then we won't wait for him."

Xiao Qianqian went out and drove to the kindergarten.

On the way, she thought of that man, domineering yet romantic, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

When she arrived at the kindergarten gate, the children had not yet been dismissed, so she stood in the usual spot to wait. More and more parents had arrived, and the gate was bustling with activity.

A short while later, the bell rang, and less than ten minutes later, the children, carrying their little schoolbags, walked out hand in hand with their teacher.

Yueyue saw her mother standing at the door from afar and waved to her happily.

Tao Tao and Bei Bei from another class also came out with their teacher. They were behind Yue Yue's class. When they saw their aunt, the two little ones waved happily.

The children arrived at the school gate, and the teachers handed them over to their parents one by one.

Finally, it was Yueyue and Doudou's turn. The little girl and Doudou said goodbye to the teacher and then ran to their mother, who was looking at them with gentle eyes.

"Mommy, Mommy, you've come to pick us up!"

"Mom, Mom, I'm so happy! You've come to pick us up!"

The two little ones rushed into Xiao Qianqian's arms and rubbed against their mother.

Xiao Qianqian looked up and patted their little heads.

"Aren't you happy when your mom picks you up from school?"

"happy."

"happy."

"Okay, stand still. We'll go home together after we pick up our older brother and sister."

'Okay, Mom, are my older brother and sister coming home with us today too?'

The little girl smiled at her mother; she loved her mother the most.

"Yes, Grandma and Grandpa are at our house. They're waiting for you to come back and have dinner together."

"Very good."

The little girl clapped her hands with a smile, extremely happy.

Within minutes, Tao Tao and Bei Bei also came out.

"Auntie, didn't my grandpa and grandma come today?"

Xiao Qianqian patted the two little ones' heads; "Grandpa and Grandma are at Auntie's house. I'll pick you up and we'll go back together for dinner. Are you happy?"

"So happy."

"Yes, I'm happy."

The two little ones took their brother's hand, and the younger sister followed Xiao Qianqian into the car.

When the four little ones are together, the atmosphere is always lively; they chatter away non-stop.

Xiao Qianqian would occasionally interact with them, glancing at them in the rearview mirror.

Upon arriving home, the children were warmly welcomed by Ye Mu and the others.

Dinner was a sumptuous meal, and the family enjoyed it happily. Halfway through the meal, the little girl put down her chopsticks, looked around, and couldn't find her father.

She glanced at the people on the table again.

"What's wrong, Yueyue?"

"Where's Dad? Why isn't Dad eating with us?"

The mother sitting next to her smiled and patted her little head.

“Your Yueyue is so thoughtful, she knows how to care for her dad. He's working overtime at the company and won't be home for dinner.”

"Oh," Yueyue responded, but she still seemed a little disappointed.

Seeing this, Xiao Qianqian gently comforted him, "Baby, Daddy will be back soon after he finishes work."

After dinner, the four children gathered together to play games, while Xiao Qianqian chatted with Ye's mother and the others.

Around nine o'clock, the sound of a car engine came from outside, and a little while later, the young man came in.
