As she thought about it, Shu Ying felt a surge of heat spread from the skin behind her ears to her cheeks.

She quickly shook her head to clear her mind of all the jumbled thoughts, and cleared her throat in an evasive manner.

Why think so much? Let's get down to business first.

She needs to go to her uncle's house right away.

The two children's thoughts jumped around, and they had already moved from the topic of "Dad" to other issues.

Seeing that they weren't fixated on the issue, Shu Ying smiled and patted their little heads. She went back to her room to change into dark clothes, then searched through the storage cabinet and found a pile of books and toys that she had prepared for the two children before.

Shu Ying placed the items on the long-pile carpet in the bedroom, smiled gently, and bent down to give instructions.

"Yangyang, Yueyue, Mommy has to go out for a bit. You two can stay here and read books and play with your toys for a little while, okay?"

"If there is any problem, you can call for Mom anytime, and Mom will come back immediately when she hears you."

Yueyue blinked: "If we call for Mommy, can Mommy hear us?"

Shu Ying paused for a moment, about to explain, when she saw Yangyang smile knowingly.

"Silly Yueyue, Mom is definitely outside, not far from us. Of course she can hear us when we call her, otherwise she wouldn't have told us this!"

Yueyue wrinkled her nose, and Chaoyang stuck out her tongue.

"You naughty Yangyang, I'm not stupid."

The two little ones bickered while choosing the educational toys they wanted to play with.

Huarong Road, Nine Linked Rings, Tangram, Luban Lock...

Yueyue even picked out a small abacus and started calculating rapidly.

From a young age, the two little ones have never shown much interest in the simple, straightforward toys that most children play with; they would play with them for a couple of seconds and then put them aside.

On the contrary, they are particularly fond of these challenging toys. After solving one solution, they want to try another, showing a great love for using their brains.

Especially Yueyue, who showed a keen interest and love for numbers from a very young age.

As I grew older, I happened to see my family using an abacus and immediately fell in love with it.

To this end, Shu Ying specially had someone select a piece of Hetian jade of good quality from the family's storeroom and made a miniature abacus suitable for children to play with.

Yueyue absolutely adores it, often holding onto the abacus and refusing to let go. At such a young age, she's already better at using the abacus than the family's old accountant.

In recent years, Shu Ying has also discovered that in addition to abacus calculation, Yueyue is also very good at mental arithmetic. She can calculate many additions, subtractions, multiplications and divisions at a glance, almost without thinking.

That's quite a talent.

I wonder what kind of career her daughter will choose when she grows up...

Shu Ying thought for a moment and waved to the two children.

"Then Mommy's going out."

While clicking away on the abacus beads, Yueyue didn't forget to wave to Shuying.

Yangyang, holding the nine-linked rings, raised his little face and smiled at Shuying.

"Mom, you go ahead and do your work. We'll stay in our rooms obediently!"

The two little ones grew up in this house and are very familiar with the layout of the rooms. They feel very safe and secure in the house and are not afraid at all, as if they were still in their original home.

Seeing how peaceful they were, Shu Ying felt relieved. She took the key to her uncle's house, smiled, and walked out of the space, returning to the real location where she had entered the space earlier.

There was still no one around. Shu Ying quickly glanced around and took out the bicycle that she had previously stored in the house's storeroom from her spatial storage.

The next second, a typical 28-inch bicycle appeared in front of us.
