Wen Qiao's words completely dispelled all of Shen Jichuan's doubts. He was so excited that he didn't know how to express his excitement. He could only hug Wen Qiao tightly in his arms.
After both of them calmed down, they went down to the second floor.
Upon seeing Wen Qiao, the three children were initially stunned and stood frozen in place, before excitedly running towards her.
Sanbao, in particular, smiled and called out "Mom" when he saw Wenqiao, but then burst into tears as soon as he said it.
She threw herself into Wen Qiao's arms and whispered, "Mom, will you leave again this time? I really miss you so much. I miss you during the day, I miss you at night, I miss you when I eat, and I miss you even when I'm at school."
Wen Qiao immediately responded to her daughter's words.
She said softly, "Sanbao and I are of one mind. I think of you day and night, while eating and sleeping, and I think of you even more when I'm working."
"But Mom hasn't finished her work yet. Can we give her some more time?"
"I promise you, after this, I will come back and stay at home with you and your two brothers."
Sanbao looked up at Wenqiao and said softly, "And Daddy. Daddy misses you too."
As the little girl spoke, it seemed she saw her father watching them, and she whispered to Wen Qiao.
“I once got up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and saw my dad holding a picture of my mom. My dad misses my mom a lot.”
Wen Qiao pursed her lips and glanced at Shen Jichuan sitting to the side.
Then he looked at the woman and said with a gentle smile, "I also missed my father, so I took advantage of my free time to come back and visit you."
Upon hearing Wen Qiao's words, Da Bao and Er Bao immediately lost interest in playing with the toys that their father had just given them, toys that their mother had brought from abroad.
"Mom, are you leaving again?"
"If you leave again, when will you come back?"
"Mom, I heard that you and Dad got divorced and that you went abroad because of money."
Da Bao was asking about Wen Qiao's departure.
However, Erbao sensitively brought up the topic of divorce.
Wen Qiao looked at her two sons. To be honest, boys are sometimes more easygoing, while she always felt that her daughter was sensitive and sensible. Therefore, Wen Qiao would focus more of her energy and attention on her daughter.
As for her sons, she always felt that they thought too simply.
Unexpectedly, Erbao mentioned divorce today.
While Wen Qiao hesitated, wondering how to explain it to the children.
Shen Jichuan glanced at his two sons and said, "The divorce is only temporary. Once your mother finishes her work abroad and comes back, we'll still be husband and wife. Besides, does a divorce mean she's no longer your mother?"
"Whether you are divorced or married, your mother will always be Wen Qiao, and I will always be your father. It doesn't stop us from loving either of you."
Da Bao nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"Anyway, Dad and Mom are both ours, so it doesn't matter whether they get divorced or not. Besides, Dad said that Mom will come back after she finishes her work, right?"
Wen Qiao immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Da Bao is right."
Erbao seemed to have thought about it for a long time before saying seriously, "I know, Mom and Dad are getting divorced because, like in the comic books, my mom is a super powerful person. She's going abroad to eliminate bad guys, and she'll come back after she's eliminated all the bad guys?"
"So, you divorced Dad to protect us, right?"
Erbao is overthinking this.
But Wen Qiao did indeed temporarily divorce because she had to complete a mission.
The children are still young now. Once they grow up and are able to distinguish right from wrong, it should be easier to explain.
Let's just let the children misunderstand for now.
Shen Jichuan first spoke gently, "Erbao is right. But this mission needs to be kept secret. You're too smart; you guessed it right away. However, we're family. You can say that once you leave this room, you shouldn't tell anyone else. We need to keep it a secret, understand?"
Erbao immediately became like a soldier and said very seriously, "Yes, comrade leader, my brother, sister, and I will keep it a secret."
This remark amused the nanny who was picking vegetables nearby.
The nanny thought to herself, "Comrade Wen Qiao and Comrade Ji Chuan really know how to fool the little ones in the family."
However, their family is really good. The children are very sensible, and the parents are reasonable. No matter what the issue is, they always communicate with the children properly and earnestly.
Instead of simply suppressing the questions raised by children.
After calming the three children down, Wen Qiao started getting them the things she had bought abroad.
Sanbao clearly showed little interest in the gifts, but instead clung to Wenqiao.
“Mom, I know you’re thinking of us. Even though you’re not home, you send us lots of things from abroad every now and then, like cookies and snacks. I’ve shared them with my classmates, and they all say they’ve never tried many of them before. They all say my mom is wonderful and loves me very much.”
"Mom, Xiaoze has come to our school too. He comes to play with me after class."
"Uncle Zhao also came to see me. He said I was very well-behaved and sensible."
