Chu Qinghuai's unintentional remark did indeed have a significant impact on the children. Despite their usual carefree and adorable nature, from that day on, every morning and evening, they would earnestly ask their parents if they loved them.
Only when Zhong Wan says she loves them, and Chu Qinghuai says he loves them, can they feel at ease and satisfied.
Sometimes Zhong Wan couldn't help herself and gave Chu Qinghuai a flick on the forehead after the children fell asleep, saying, "Serves you right for saying those things. Now look how sensitive the children have become. Are you happy about that?"
She was furious and punched him a few more times.
True love doesn't need to be spoken. If you have to express your love verbally to prove it, it means that love is shallow. She wants her child to grow up surrounded by happiness, not like this, where they are anxious and insecure, treating love as something too precious or hard to obtain.
Zhong Wan understood Chu Qinghuai's idea of cutting off the days when the children wouldn't be around in the future, but what did that have to do with the three children? They were only three years old, and their most important task was to grow up well.
Chu Qinghuai's shoulder ached from the beating. He hissed and pulled something out of his pocket. He opened his palm and saw a petal with curled edges.
Little He is shedding petals again.
He remained silent until he heard a soft sigh, then he spoke: "Caicai also lost some vegetables yesterday."
Every morning when he opens his eyes, the first thing he does is sit on the bed and grope around for anything strange. He has been making progress lately.
Still can't find the reason?
The two parents asked the baby if she was feeling unwell, but the baby shook her head. She was eating and drinking well every day and did not have a fever, but the baby's unexplained revelation of her true form always made the parents very nervous.
Chu Qinghuai still insisted on his opinion: "We need to find their biological parents, or at the very least, make contact with those spirits. This can't go on forever. What if the children encounter danger one day and we don't know what to do?"
Zhong Wan: "That's easy for you to say, but how do we find it?"
This is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Now that Zhong Wan and Chu Qinghuai have a clearer goal, they will naturally be good parents to their three children, and they will be better and better at it. Chu Qinghuai promises never to say hurtful things again, but for the better growth of the babies, the search for spirits must be put on the agenda.

Chu Qinghuai finally fulfilled his promise to take the children to the amusement park on a day when both he and Zhong Wan were off work.
The weather was sunny and the sunlight was gentle, making it feel warm and comfortable on the skin. However, before going out, Zhong Wan still applied sunscreen and sprayed mosquito repellent on the three children.
The three little ones were all wearing the same style of tops and pants for easy movement. Zhong Wan got up early to braid Mu Mu and Xiao He's hair and fasten them with hair clips that matched their respective elemental attributes. Cai Cai also had one; the vegetable hair clip on her head matched her dark green pants perfectly.
The family went out happily.
One of the advantages of taking kids out is that you save on the cost of three tickets. Chu Qinghuai and Zhong Wan had never been to an amusement park before, but today they were able to get in thanks to the kids, as they only needed to buy two tickets each.
Zhong Wan was only in her early twenties, and besides, she had never actually given birth to three children. Deep in her heart, there was a strong but tender seed of girlish heart. The amusement park that she used to only see in magazines was now a completely different experience for her as she stood inside. She looked up at the towering castle, and a dreamy butterfly slowly flew out from her heart.
Is it pretty?
Chu Qinghuai stood on her shoulder and asked.
"It's beautiful."
"I'm sorry I didn't come with you sooner."
Amusement park visitors are not just children; couples make up the majority of the visitors. Undoubtedly, this childlike and romantic place is a perfect dating spot. It's safe to say that most girls wouldn't mind standing under the castle with their loved one to watch a fireworks show.
"It's okay, it's not too late now, I'm already very happy."
A ticket isn't cheap, and Zhong Wan controls the family finances. When they were dating, Chu Qinghuai had planned to come to the amusement park with Zhong Wan. The rational and sensible woman was reluctant to do so, but she was willing to bring the child.
Are the babies happy?
All three babies were being led by the hand, and they exclaimed in unison, "Happy!"
"Mom, look, that dinosaur is so beautiful!"
"I want to see it from a higher vantage point!"
"I want to touch it!"
"..."
The three of them were chattering quite loudly, and there were staff members dressed in mascot costumes everywhere on the road. They blinked their eyes so fast they couldn't even take it all in, naively believing that these cartoon characters really existed in the world. They excitedly asked their parents if they could take the little fox and the little panda home.
Seeing the children's smiling faces filled Zhong Wan and Chu Qinghuai with satisfaction, making them feel that earning money had meaning.
However, this was the first time the family of five had visited an amusement park, so they mainly focused on sightseeing. The children were too young to ride most of the rides, and the two adults didn't want to leave the children behind to play on their own. So they spent their time shopping, eating, or playing the simpler rides. They rode the carousel three times.
Next to each project site was a shop selling pretty much the same things. Zhong Wan randomly picked one and took the children in, thinking that since they were already there, it wouldn't hurt to buy some souvenirs to take back.
As soon as she entered the door, rows of hairbands on the shelves caught her attention.
"Do you like this? It's so cute!"
She picked out three oddly shaped headbands, all designed to be cute, without a second thought, and put them on the children's heads. However, Cai Cai felt they were too tight on her head and didn't wear them.
"If Cai Cai doesn't want the headband, let's choose another toy."
"good."
She helped the children pick up their favorite items, and after a while, she went to pay with her shopping basket, leaving Chu Qinghuai and the children to wait for her at the door.
The line was very long, and Zhong Wan was getting bored while waiting. She overheard two girls behind her who were also in line talking.
Eavesdropping on others is certainly impolite, but if the other person's voice is too loud, it's impossible for her not to hear it unless she covers her ears.
The girls were chatting, and as Zhong Wan talked, she realized something was wrong.
"Oh my god, I ran into the internet celebrity baby! Can I ask for a photo with her?"
"Those three really look alike, aren't they triplets?"
"When I have time, I must go to Yuyang Noodle Shop to officially meet the three babies. I heard that you can chat with them for free, which is so much fun."
"You can go now."
"That's not a good idea, I feel like their dad is really fierce."
Zhong Wan heard every word the two girls said. At first, she could still fool herself into thinking it was a coincidence, but when "Yuyang Noodle Shop" came up, she couldn't hold back anymore. If they weren't talking about her baby, then who were they talking about?
Following the direction of the door, she glanced at Chu Qinghuai outside. Just as the girls had said, his face was fierce when he wasn't smiling. She wondered what Xiao Qingcai was up to now. From the shape of his mouth, she could tell he meant "Don't do this."
Zhong Wan was completely confused, wondering how the two of them knew Chu Qinghuai and Bao Bao, but she got the answer in the next second.
"I'll go check if A-Yue updated today. I'm going to leave a comment under her video saying I ran into the baby."
Zhong Wan: "..."
Things gradually took an unbelievable turn. Zhong Wan calmly paid the bill and deliberately waited until the two girls also paid their bills. She stopped them and asked, "Hello, can I ask you something?"
"you say."
"Do you know those three children?" she asked, pointing to the doorway.
One of the tall girls immediately agreed: "Yes, sister, do you watch their videos too?" She seemed to have a very nice personality.
Zhong Wan tossed her hair, smiled, and calmly asked, "May I ask what video it is?"
The kind-hearted girl took out her phone and turned on the screen. Zhong Wan was shocked to find that everyone's wallpapers were Mumu, Caicai, and Xiaohe.
"Sister, don't you know? These three kids are super popular online. I heard they're the children of the noodle shop owner's friends. They're basically at the shop every day, and a lot of people like them. I really hope their parents can open an account and promote the three little ones."
Zhong Wan was stunned. No one in her family watched videos, so she naturally didn't know that the fruit, vegetable, and flower babies had actually been filmed and posted online.
"Can I take a look?"
The other party was very generous and earnestly told Zhong Wan how cute the three children were.
Zhong Wan herself had mixed feelings. Because she couldn't wait to know the truth, she told the girls, "What a coincidence, I forgot to mention, these are actually my children, the three standing outside."
She uttered explosive words in a calm tone.
Because I had a gentle and kind face last night, and because earthlings are generally more forgiving of good-looking people, the girl across from me accepted this fact almost instantly.
"Really?" Their excited voices even attracted other tourists to turn around, cover their mouths, and smile. One of them grabbed Zhong Wan's arm: "Sister, you are so beautiful. I was wondering why you looked so familiar. Mu Mu looks just like you. Oh my god, can we take a picture together?"
Before Zhong Wan could figure out how she knew Mu Mu's name, Chu Qinghuai took it upon herself to bring the children over.
"Why isn't it ready yet?" he asked.
"You babies are so cute!"
The girls seemed surprised to see three children up close. They half-squatted down to greet them, but only Xiaohe, who was not socially anxious at all, responded.
Chu Qinghuai instinctively shielded the babies, then looked at Zhong Wan, as if to ask, "Do you know them?"
Zhong Wan didn't recognize the video and still found it baffling, but she politely asked, "Excuse me, what video are you talking about? I've never filmed the children and posted it online."
The two girls exchanged a glance, their mouths slightly agape. "Oh? Is that how it is, sister? But Yue said she got your permission to film the babies. As long as the three babies are at the noodle shop, she posts videos almost every day."
Zhong Wan frowned. "Who is A-Yue?"
"A blogger who's recently become quite popular has gained a lot of followers through her blog, Mumu, Caicai, and Xiaohe. Didn't you guys know about her?"
They looked apologetic, their earlier frenzy gone, clearly feeling bad for disturbing someone's life.
“We didn’t know. If we had known, we would never have allowed her to take pictures of the babies.”
Zhong Wan and Chu Qinghuai saw on the girl's phone that the blogger named A Yue had gained over 500,000 followers by posting videos of babies at a noodle shop. They also noticed that Chen Yu and Lin Jiang were not present in any of the videos, suggesting that they were secretly filmed.
Zhong Wan couldn't help but feel annoyed.
