When Qin Shu finished washing up, Mrs. Xie was gone.

Xie Lanzhi was sitting at the dining table, eating the meat buns bought by Amuti.

Qin Shu stared at the brown paper holding the buns in Xie Lanzhi's hand, frowned and asked: "There are so many dishes on the table, why are you only eating buns?"

"Mom won't let me eat it."

There was no expression on Xie Lanzhi's handsome face, but everyone could tell that he was unhappy.

Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her thin lips were pressed into a cold and hard straight line.

When he looked at Qin Shu, there was a hint of childish accusation in his eyes.

But Qin Shu fell for it. She walked quickly forward, picked up the bowl of fragrant soup on the table, and handed it to Xie Lanzhi's mouth.

"Mom is just kidding. I can't finish all the breakfast on the table by myself."

Xie Lanzhi glanced at the bowl, which contained red dates, longans and other nourishing ingredients, and his face was filled with a smile as if the winter snow had melted.

"These are all for your health. They are useless to me."

Qin Shu stared at the dark circles under Xie Lanzhi's eyes, then glanced at the buns with solidified oil on the table.

She felt sour in her heart and insisted, "Try it for me first to see if it's hot."

Xie Lanzhi thought Qin Shu was being delicate, so he actually tasted it for her.

"It's not hot, just right for drinking. Drink it while it's hot."

This time, Qin Shu did not refuse. She directly grabbed the bowl of soup and drank it all.

She picked up the millet porridge with nourishing ingredients on the table, brought it to her mouth and took a sip.

"This porridge is a little cold. I can't drink it anymore. You drink it!"

Xie Lanzhi looked at the millet porridge in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and realized that it was his wife who loved him.

"good--"

He raised his hands, placed them on Qin Shu's hands holding the bowl, and finished the porridge just like that.

For this breakfast, Qin Shu used all kinds of picky excuses to make Xie Lanzhi eat all the food on the table.

It didn't end until Amuti walked in.

"Brother Lan, you have a meeting this morning, and you're running out of time."

"knew--"

Xie Lanzhi wiped the corner of his mouth, stood up, and put his hand on Qin Shu's shoulder.

"You don't have to get up. I'm leaving now and will come to see you in the evening."

Qin Shu looked up at the man whose composure had returned to normal and asked the same question again as when she first woke up.

"Ito Keiko didn't run away, did she? Where is she being held?"

Xie Lanzhi: "He is being held by Tong Fei and is being interrogated. You should take care of yourself for the next two days and go back when you are almost recovered."

Qin Shu nodded: "It's OK as long as he didn't run away."

Seeing Qin Shu being so well behaved, Xie Lanzhi turned his back to Amuti and lowered his head to steal a kiss.

A light kiss that fades away as soon as it touches.

If it weren't for the lingering bite feeling on her lips, Qin Shu would have almost thought it was an illusion.

After Xie Lanzhi left, Qin Shu ate a few more bites of breakfast, put down her chopsticks, and got up to go see the two children.

As soon as she opened the door, she met Mrs. Xie who was walking out.

“Shh—” Mrs. Xie put her index finger between her lips and whispered, “They just finished drinking the milk powder and fell asleep.”

Qin Shu nodded and glanced at Sister Hua who was covering the child with a quilt.

Mrs. Xie pulled Qin Shu into the ward, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed whether the child should stay or go.

"Lan Zhi said that we should send the child back to Beijing. I'm afraid you won't want to leave. Do you want to go back with us?"

Qin Shu smiled and shook her head, saying, "I won't go back. Let Yanyan and Momo return to Beijing to be with their eldest brother and second brother. The four brothers can also cultivate their relationship."

Mrs. Xie took Qin Shu's hand and sighed, "Thank you for your hard work. You were so young, but you gave birth to four children for the Xie family, and you still had to suffer the pain of separation from your children."

In less than three years, she gave birth to four children. This speed is amazing!

Qin Shu blinked and said playfully, "You also said that I'm young and can't take care of the children. It's hard for you and dad. It's tiring to take care of four children."

Mrs. Xie patted the back of her hand and said, "We are not tired at all. The children have people who take care of them. We are just worried that you will miss them."

Qin Shu: "I miss them, so I'll go back and see them."

Mrs. Xie nodded and changed the subject: "Yangyang and Chenchen can call me mom now."

"..." Qin Shu's hands trembled, and she asked excitedly, "Really?"

Mrs. Xie frowned: "Really, it's too late for them to call me mom."

Qin Shu showed a happy smile on her face. She turned around and looked for the landline in the house. She made a call to the Xie family in the Beijing Military Region compound.

"Hello?"

The call was picked up by a strange woman.

Qin Shu's voice was filled with some uncontrollable excitement: "I am the mother of Yangyang and Chenchen. Go and bring the two children over. I want to talk to them!"

"Yes, Madam! I'll go right away!"

There was the sound of a woman's hurried footsteps coming from the other end of the phone.

Not long after, two childish voices were heard.

“Oh—”

“Aaaaa——”

It’s Xie Dongyang and Xie Chennan.

"Madam, the two young masters are here. I'll ask them to answer the phone."

Qin Shu's palms were sweaty, and her voice was tense: "Okay!"

After a while, a gentle voice came from the other side: "Young Master, it's the Young Madam calling, hurry up and call mom."

"Aiyaya——" "Sizzle——"

The childish, tender voice of a child was accompanied by a shrill sound.

"Master, you can't chew the telephone receiver, hurry up and call mom——"

Qin Shu's mind flashed with the scene of the two children making trouble, and a faint smile appeared in her eyes.

She shouted into the megaphone: "Yangyang, Chenchen, I'm mom."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

What followed was the extremely excited shouts of the two children.

"mom--!"

"Mother--!"

The pronunciation is not very clear, but from the baby voice, you can clearly tell that he is calling for his mother.

Qin Shu's eyes were instantly soaked with tears, and she sighed twice: "My dear children, Mommy heard it, you are awesome!"

Xie Dongyang grabbed the receiver and yelled blankly: "Yaaaaaa?"

Qin Shu said expectantly: "Yangyang, can you call me mom again?"

Xie Dongyang was very obedient, calling out in a stuttering voice: "Mom...Mom——"

"Hey!" Qin Shu praised: "How good, Yangyang is great!"

Then, there was a burst of chaotic calls coming from the receiver.

“Aaaaa——!”

Xie Chennan snatched the receiver away, held it in his little chubby hands, and shouted anxiously.

“Ahhhh!! Eh ...

Qin Shu said in a gentle voice: "It's Chenchen, right? Mommy is here."

Xie Chennan: "Well...Mom——"

Qin Shu: "Hey, Chenchen is so good and awesome too!"

After all, the call was over a distance, so the mother and her two children talked for a long time before it ended.

When Qin Shu hung up the phone, her eyes were extremely red, but the joy in her eyes overflowed from the inside out.

In her previous life, she was the adoptive mother of four illegitimate children.
