Chaochao is still young, and her immune system is not as strong as that of older children.

After being caught in this heavy rain, I might catch a cold right away.

Yu Yuehui's heart tightened suddenly, and she abruptly ended her walk in the rain. She reached out and grabbed Xie Yan tightly, then ran away.

Their swift movements contrasted sharply with the leisurely strolling crowd around them.

Seeing the couple rushing about, someone asked in confusion, "Yuehui! You're already soaked to the bone, why are you still running?"

Yu Yuehui's voice came from afar, filled with anxiety, "Go back and see the children!"

These words seemed to touch the hearts of many young couples, especially those who knew their children were naughty and mischievous and that their grandparents couldn't control them, so they quickened their pace.

Sure enough, when the two returned home, they didn't see Qian Hong or the two little ones, and immediately understood what had happened.

Yu Yue sighed helplessly, feeling quite troubled.

She really couldn't understand it. Her daughter used to be so well-behaved, so how come she became so wild after only playing with Maodan for a few days, and didn't even know to come home on rainy days?

Xie Yan couldn't help but chuckle softly. He felt that his wife had an unusually strong bias towards their daughter, even thinking the child was well-behaved.

Where is the obedience? You've always been like this, okay?

Yu Yue looked at Xie Yan, who was soaking wet and dripping with water, reached out and took the key from the windowsill, handed it to him, and said anxiously, "Go back and change your clothes first. I'll wait for her here."

Xie Yan didn't refuse; he took the keys and turned to leave.

He also knew that his wife was in much better physical condition than him.

As for whether the child will get a beating when he gets back, he doesn't worry about that, since the child's mother is there.

Moreover, he felt that hitting children would give them a complete childhood experience, and if he didn't hit them, it wouldn't matter, since he was still there.

He will definitely find a way to give Chaochao a complete and happy childhood, and he will never let her be unable to participate in conversations about her childhood when she grows up.

Chaochao, who was dragged back by Qian Hong, stepped into the house and saw Yu Yuehui, whose face did not look good. She was so frightened that she subconsciously shrank her neck.

She felt a chill run down her spine: Why is Mom here?

Isn't she working in the field?

How come you're back so quickly?

I only played for a little while, how come my mom is already home?

Didn't Brother Maodan say that the adults wouldn't be back this early?

Did Brother Maodan lie to me?

Thinking this, Chaochao's eyes were full of reproach as she stared at Maodan beside her, which she thought was quite fierce.

Mao Dan was secretly rubbing his bottom right now; his bottom was still sore.

But in order to save face in front of his sister, he held back his tears.

Noticing Chaochao's gaze, Maodan saw that her eyes were still brimming with tears, as if she were accusing him: Brother, you lied to me!

Mao Dan quickly responded silently: No! I'm innocent!!

Chaochao looked at him questioningly again: Then why is Mom already back!

Mao Dan looked completely bewildered. He didn't know either; it certainly wasn't like this before.

He turned his head and looked around. Seeing no one else, he felt more confident and gestured to Chaochao with his eyes: "Look, the others haven't come back yet, have they?"

After hearing what he said, Chaochao looked around and found that it was indeed true.

Looking at the two children, soaked to the bone and still not calming down, Yu Yuehui's anger flared up even more.

However, she did not immediately get angry at Chaochao, but instead turned her gaze to Maodan, whose eyes were red and who had obviously been beaten.

"Mao Dan, what were you two talking about just now?"

Mao Dan's eyes darted around, and he instinctively wanted to lie, but Yu Yuehui knew him too well and interrupted him directly: "I want to hear the truth!"

Mao Dan was speechless for a moment: "..."

Looking at her brother, who was completely intimidated by their mother, Chaochao's heart skipped a beat, and alarm bells went off instantly.

She was extremely panicked: What should I do? What should I do?

Someone please save me!

I had thought that since my parents weren't home, I could try to coax my grandma and maybe get away with it, but now it seems like that's hopeless.

What should we do now?

Are we really going to get beaten up?

Chaochao subconsciously touched her little bottom, but, but, she didn't want to get spanked.

Mao Dan had always admired Yue Hui the most. Under her sharp gaze, he couldn't lie at all and immediately spilled the beans, telling her everything in detail.

Yu Yue looked at Chaochao, who was huddled up in a ball, and gritted her teeth in anger: "Fine! You're really something! It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson today, it would be a waste of all the trouble you've caused!"

Having already sensed that her bottom was about to "blown out," Chaochao truly cried this time, her cries loud and clear, completely different from the fake crying she had when Qian Hong had hit her earlier.

"Waaaaah~~"

As Chaochao cried, she thought to herself that her brother was really useless; he couldn't even last three seconds in front of their mother.

In that instant, the beautiful image that Chaochao had always held of her brother as amazing and powerful shattered completely!

Meanwhile, Xie Yan was comfortably sitting on a recliner under the eaves, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand and sipping it slowly.

I glanced up casually and saw my beloved wife through the rain, with a crying baby tucked under her arm, walking towards me.

This scene was so sudden that Xie Yan barely managed to hold back and prevent the tea in his mouth from spitting out.

It was obvious that the little guy had been severely punished; he was still sobbing uncontrollably, his little shoulders trembling.

Seeing this, Xie Yan quickly stood up, picked up two towels placed to the side, handed the larger one to his wife, and took the other one to gently wipe the little guy's hair.

The little one pursed his lips tightly, sobbing silently, large tears rolling down his cheeks like broken pearls.

His wet hair clung messily to his small face, making him look even more pitiful. Anyone who saw him couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

Xie Yan knew his wife's temper; this guy must have done something outrageous, otherwise his wife wouldn't have hit him so hard.

When it comes to educating children, Xie Yan never lags behind. He wipes his hair and changes his clothes throughout the process without saying a single unnecessary word.

This left Chaochao, who wanted to confide in her father, at a loss for words.

After the two of them finally finished getting ready, Chaochao stopped crying because no one was there to support her and tell her about her grievances. Only then did Xie Yan pull her to his side and ask what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Chao immediately pursed her lips in a wronged manner, her eyes instantly reddening, looking as if she was about to burst into tears and complain to the adults about her grievances.
