The child's belongings were all moved into the house in Wutong Lane and settled in.

After Yang Qiaoqiao and Aunt Zhang washed the two children clean, they changed them into clean clothes.

For more than a month, she missed her children so much that she didn't put them in their own crib. Instead, she put both children on the big bed and slept between them, holding one on each side.

As Yang Qiaoqiao gently sang lullabies to the two little ones, she felt her heart soften and be filled to the brim.

But Huo Beixiao's image involuntarily popped into her mind.

She couldn't help but recall the times when Huo Beixiao would get up in the middle of the night to change diapers and feed the two children.

Back then, so that she could rest peacefully at night, the man would wake up at the slightest whimper from the child.

Then she quickly got up to check on the child, changing diapers, washing the bottom, and feeding the baby, all of which she did much more skillfully than the mother herself.

Moreover, the man would be very quiet so as not to wake her, and would tell the child not to cry and not to disturb his mother's sleep as soon as he picked her up.

now……

A bitter smile involuntarily crept onto Yang Qiaoqiao's lips.

"Mommy..." At that moment, a baby's soft voice reached my ears.

Yang Qiaoqiao lowered her head and looked into An'an's big, bright, obsidian-like eyes.

An'an recently learned to crawl. When she saw Yang Qiaoqiao looking at her, the little one kicked her little feet and rolled over, sticking her little bottom out and huffing and puffing as she crawled onto Yang Qiaoqiao.

The little face rubbed against Yang Qiaoqiao's chest, as if to tell her, "Mommy, you still have me."

On the other side, Lele, who was almost asleep, opened her eyes and saw that her older sister had climbed onto her mother. She immediately widened her eyes, became energetic, and quickly rolled over and climbed onto Yang Qiaoqiao.

Lele is quite skilled at rolling over, but Aunt Zhang said he can't crawl yet.

Yang Qiaoqiao didn't intend to help him; she just looked at him with encouraging eyes.

Lele's little bottom wiggled up and down as she crawled along, her face turning red, before she finally placed her little hand on Yang Qiaoqiao's belly.

At this moment, Lele was also tired from climbing. He pouted and looked at Yang Qiaoqiao pitifully, wanting Yang Qiaoqiao to help him.

Yang Qiaoqiao looked at her son with bright eyes and encouraged him, "Lele, you can do it! Lele can do it himself."

Lele seemed to understand her words. Her little mouth twitched, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly held them back from falling.

He lowered his head and got up again.

Babies master skills in an instant. This time, Lele crawled exceptionally smoothly, and in no time at all, she climbed onto Yang Qiaoqiao, with her sister each occupying half of their mother's arms.

Lele himself still couldn't believe that he had climbed onto his mother like that. He blinked his big, bright eyes and grinned happily.

When the little guy smiled, Yang Qiaoqiao's face also lit up with a smile.

When An'an saw that her younger brother and mother were smiling, she smiled too.

After putting the two little ones to sleep, Yang Qiaoqiao quietly left the room.

After returning, she realized that she was deeply connected with Huo Beixiao in both her life and career.

Now that she wants to divorce Huo Beixiao, she has to first sever the ties between her life and career and Huo Beixiao.

She called Lin Xiaohui first.

"Hello?"

Yang Qiaoqiao had already planned to tell Lin Xiaohui about her intention to divorce Huo Beixiao and ask Lin Xiaohui to come to Haicheng to help her take care of the child.

But when Lin Xiaohui's voice came from the other end of the phone...

Suddenly, she didn't know how to start the conversation, and all the grievances and sadness that had been suppressed in her heart for the past few days surged up all at once.

She didn't even get a chance to call out "Mom" before bursting into tears.

As soon as she started crying, Lin Xiaohui on the other end of the phone immediately recognized her voice. "Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao, is that you?"

What's wrong? What happened? Did someone bully you? Did Bei Xiao bully you?

Lin Xiaohui asked anxiously from the other end.

Hearing her anxious voice, Yang Qiaoqiao couldn't hold back her grievances any longer, and tears streamed down her face like they were flowing freely.

Lin Xiaohui listened on the other end of the phone. Although she was anxious, she didn't interrupt her. She even stopped Yang Jianguo, who was also anxious to ask Yang Qiaoqiao, from speaking.

Yang Qiaoqiao cried for more than ten minutes before she felt the heavy weight on her heart ease a little.

She wiped away her tears and choked out into the phone, "Mom, brother, I'm sorry, I didn't control my emotions and made you worry."

Before Lin Xiaohui could speak, Yang Jianguo snatched the microphone away, saying, "Qiaoqiao, why are you telling Mom and brother these things? If you don't dare to cry or laugh in front of Mom and brother, are we still family?"

"Qiaoqiao, tell me honestly, did that brat Huo Beixiao bully you? Is it because that scoundrel has expanded his business to Haicheng and gotten so big that he's started having frivolous thoughts and doing things to betray you?"

Upon hearing her elder brother's words, Yang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself.

It's true that only men understand men.

She calmed herself down and replied, "Yes, Huo Beixiao has another woman outside and wants to divorce me, and I'm prepared to divorce him too."

After the divorce, I want to raise An'an and Lele myself, but I need to take care of my business, and I might not be able to manage alone. So I'm thinking of asking my mother to come and help me take care of An'an and Lele for another two years, until they are three years old and can go to daycare. Is that okay?

When she made this request, she was actually a little unsure of herself.

My sister-in-law is almost seven months pregnant and will give birth in less than three months.

A woman needs the most care during the month before pregnancy and childbirth, and during her postpartum period. Calling Lin Xiaohui over at this time is unfair to Zheng Yulan, her sister-in-law.

Moreover, she actually didn't have much faith in family ties.

In her past life, she was Peng Cuiying's biological daughter, yet Peng Cuiying abandoned her without hesitation.

Moreover, she wasn't Lin Xiaohui's biological daughter.

But now, among the people she knows in Haicheng, apart from Grandpa Xia, Grandma Xia, and Zhou Yang, everyone else is from Huo Beixiao's side. She really has no one she can trust to entrust her two children to.

They could only speak to Lin Xiaohui and Yang Jianguo.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xiaohui's anxious voice came through the receiver, "Okay, Qiaoqiao, girl, don't cry. Mom will buy tickets to Haicheng tomorrow."

Yang Jianguo, standing nearby, said, "Qiaoqiao, I'm going with Mom tomorrow. I want to ask Huo Beixiao if he has any conscience at all, back then..."
