Han Miao pulled Li Ao into the house and took him to the toy room.
Han Jun came over with the puzzle piece. She handed it to Li Ao and said to him, "Neil, Mom said you and Auntie are going abroad. This is for you."
Li Ao took the puzzle and saw a photo of the three of them on the puzzle instructions. He laughed and said, "It's us."
"Yeah." Han Miao saw that Li Ao's eyes were red and asked him, "Are you crying?"
Li Ao shook his head.
Han Miao interrupted Han Jun and told her, "Neil's parents are divorced. Neil is very unhappy and doesn't want to go abroad."
Han Jun had heard about this before. Like Han Miao, she didn't understand the divorce, but she knew Li Ao was unhappy. Han Jun held Li Ao's hand and told him, "We will always be friends. We will not divorce."
Han Miao: "Yes! We will never divorce!"
Li Ao was so moved that he burst into tears.
He held Han Miao and Han Jun's hands tightly, choked with sobs and swore, "Okay, we will never get divorced!" Yan Qingxiu came in with cherries and strawberries, walked to the door, and heard what the three little guys said. He almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
Yan Qingxiu suppressed his laughter as he walked into the toy room, placed the fruit on the toy table, and took the three of them to the public sink to wash their hands. After returning to the room, Yan Qingxiu reminded them: "Eat the fruit first, then play with the toys. Don't eat with dirty hands."
"good."
As soon as Yan Qingxiu left, the children started to make a fuss.

Downstairs, Song Ci took Su Beibei to her cloakroom. "To congratulate you on your successful admission to USC, I decided to give you a gift, but I don't know what you like, so you can pick one yourself."
Song Ci turned on the lights in the cloakroom, and the crystal chandelier illuminated the three-story cloakroom as bright as day. Su Beibei was shocked by the luxury of Song Ci's cloakroom. "Oh my goodness, Mr. Han is raising you like a canary!"
This cloakroom is like a gorgeous cage, holding Song Ci's favorite things. Song Ci was amused by Su Beibei's description. She took Su Beibei to the jewelry area on the second floor and said to her, "Pick out whatever you like and I'll give it to you."
"Really?" Su Beibei asked her, "Which one is the most expensive?"
Song Ci pointed to a red gem necklace in the safe glass cabinet. The spotlight shone on the necklace. The ruby necklace, the size of a pigeon egg, was as enchanting as snow and shone brightly.
Song Ci told Su Beibei, "That antique necklace is a treasure that Queen Ma Fei of Country Y wore at her wedding. It's the most expensive and could buy half of the high-end residential area in Wangdong City." After a pause, Song Ci added, "I can't give that thing to you. If I give it to you, Han Zhan will beat me to death."
Su Beibei laughed again. "You said you could give me anything. You should keep your word."
Su Beibei explored Song Ci's closet and discovered a wall of compartments, each containing a special stone. "What's the story behind these stones?" She could tell they were just ordinary stones, worthless compared to the gems in the safe.
Song Ci told her, "A long time ago, Han Zhan and I made an agreement that whenever he went on a business trip alone to a new place, he would bring me a piece of local stone as a gift."
Hearing this, Su Beibei pressed her hand against her stomach, and with exaggerated acting, she showed a painful expression. She said, "I'm so full. I've been fed so much by your dog food."
Song Ci stared at Su Beibei, unable to tell whether she was pretending to be sad or was truly sad.
"Beibei, are you happy?" Song Ci's question shattered the exaggerated expression on Su Beibei's face.
Su Beibei could no longer pretend to be happy.
She exchanged glances with Song Ci for a few seconds, then walked to a sofa and sat down, looking down at the long-haired carpet on the ground. She sighed, "I just don't know whether divorce is right or wrong. I'm very upset."
Song Ci asked with concern: "Why are you upset? It's been more than two months since the divorce. Haven't you gotten over the negative emotions of the divorce yet?"
Su Beibei shook her head, opening her heart and presenting it to Song Ci. "Li Li knew we were going to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow, so he agreed to take the next day off to spend time with Neil. After we hung up, I asked Neil where he wanted to go tomorrow, and guess what he said."
Song Ci couldn't guess the exact answer, but she knew that Li Ao's answer must have touched Su Beibei's sore spot.
Su Beibei looked like she was about to cry. Her tone became a little choked, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Neil didn't want to go anywhere. He asked me cautiously, 'Mom, can you ask Dad to come back for dinner tomorrow?'" When she said the last two words, Su Beibei's voice broke.
She held back her tears and gripped her pants tightly with both hands, causing pain in her thighs.
"Song Song, don't you think I'm too selfish? They say a mother loves her child the most in the world, but I chose divorce just to make my life happy, leaving Neil unhappy."
"Song Song, should I not get divorced? Should I agree to remarry Li Li for the sake of the children?" Su Beibei has been thinking about this this afternoon.
Song Ci could feel Su Beibei's pain. She walked up to Su Beibei, hugged her head without saying a word, and let Su Beibei hide in her arms and cry.
"Beibei, are you happy to remarry Li Li?"
Su Beibei thought about remarrying Li Li one day, and the two of them sleeping in the same bed again, and Li Li ignoring her as before, forcing her to tolerate step by step...
Just thinking about it, Su Beibei felt like she was about to suffocate.
