Fu Qingruo was holding Huaihuai in one arm, with Genggeng and Xiao Maotuan sitting on either side of her, and a computer and a large stack of documents in front of her.
Yi Tianran looked at her with amusement, "Big sister, you've been so busy since you came back to China, and you still have to take care of the children. Don't you find it tiring?"
Fu Qingruo was furious at her heartless attitude. "If it weren't for someone pretending to be young and going to some prestigious academy to act like a student, neglecting even their own child, would I be so busy?"
"Thank goodness Huaihuai is obedient, Xiao Maotuan is cute, and Genggeng is sensible, so I don't have to worry about them at all." As she spoke, she quickly leaned over and gave each of the three little ones a kiss on the cheek.
The three little ones: "..."
Yi Tianran smiled and showered her with compliments: "The capable should do more! A genius like you, with your aloof temperament, heroic spirit, and ruthless methods, is simply a role model for us women. You are electricity, light, and the most dazzling star!"
Fu Qingruo was speechless after being praised for a while before saying, "You, on the other hand, are quite leisurely, sleeping until noon."
The early morning is the best time to plan for the day, so why are these important hours being wasted like this?
"Big sister, you don't understand." Yi Tianran covered her cheeks shyly and said ambiguously, "Adults' nights are colorful. Single people can't understand this kind of sweetness of being wrapped in love."
"..." Fu Qingruo glared at him.
Yi Tianran blinked innocently, "Did I say something wrong? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. Being single isn't your fault, it's those men who have no taste."
In fact, she said all this on purpose to provoke Fu Qingruo.
The longer I've known her, the more I feel that she keeps herself too tense. Except when she's with Xiao Mao Tuan and the others, she hardly ever smiles.
She hoped that Fu Qingruo could also have some free time, even if it wasn't for dating, just to go on a trip!
Fu Qingruo's fist hardened as she emphasized, "I've said it before, it's not that no one pursues me, it's just that I rejected them all, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Tianran perked up, "Then, sister, has there ever been a man who pursued you and made you waver even for a moment?"
Fu Qingruo was taken aback upon hearing this, and a face flashed through her mind.
She frowned. "Why are you asking this?"
Yi Tianran said with a playful expression, "I'm just curious, is there anyone who can move a frozen heart?"
“That’s not important anymore.” As she spoke, Fu Qingruo suddenly raised her head. “But you, you borrowed a seed and ran away back then, only to come back six years later, and it wasn’t even voluntary… A woman as resolute as you, did you ever have feelings for me, Fu Yunchen, back then, or… did you ever have the idea of staying for him?”
These words struck her to the core, and Yi Tianran's brain immediately answered for her: Yes.
Even though she tried her best to deny it, looking back now, she has never regretted choosing Fu Yunchen as her sperm donor.
Perhaps it was his stunning beauty, or perhaps it was his unique charm.
Unsurprisingly, Fu Yunchen has been the best man in her life over the past 26 years.
However, when faced with Fu Qingruo's question, she suddenly felt a moment of fear and couldn't blurt out the answer.
"I……"
"Never mind." Fu Qingruo didn't really want her to answer, but suddenly got up and handed her a beautifully packaged box.
Yi Tianran reached out and took it, her face full of emotion, and said, "Big sister, is this a gift from you?"
"Dream on!" Fu Qingruo's forehead twitched twice. "I've taken care of your child for so long, and you're going to send my things to this address..."
Yi Tianran's head drooped down at a visible speed, her eyes filled with gloom and disappointment.
Fu Qingruo frowned as she watched, a strange sense of guilt rising in her heart, as if not giving Yi Tianran a gift was a heinous crime.
She rubbed her arms with a chill and waved her hand dismissively: "Alright, I'll prepare a gift for you next time, go on."
Yi Tianran's face instantly lit up with a radiant smile: "I knew you were cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and you've already accepted me in your heart."
After saying that, she turned and ran away.
"..." Fu Qingruo could no longer bear it and, for the first time disregarding her image, shouted loudly, "I have never accepted you as my sister-in-law!"
The next moment, two small hands tugged at the hems of her clothes.
"Auntie, do you really not approve of Mommy being Daddy's wife? But I don't want another woman to be my stepmother." Huaihuai looked up pitifully, as if she was about to cry at any moment.
"I'm not..."
"Could it be that Auntie has already found a gentle and virtuous heiress from a prestigious family for Daddy?" Geng Geng asked suspiciously.
"I don't……"
"If Auntie doesn't allow it, then I can only continue to wander outside with Mommy, enduring wind and rain every day, slowly growing up through hardship." The little furball's face carried a sense of worldly wisdom and vicissitude.
"Don't talk nonsense..." Fu Qingruo rubbed her forehead, her head aching, and squatted down to hug them. "My darlings, I was wrong. As long as your aunt is here, I will never let any random woman into my Fu residence. Believe me!"
The three little ones exchanged glances, revealing expressions of having a well-thought-out plan.
“We knew it! Auntie, you are the kindest, noblest, and most beautiful woman in the world!” Huaihuai said sweetly.
Fu Qingruo was so sweet that her heart almost melted. While feeling the sweetness, she couldn't help but ask sourly, "How does that compare to your mothers?"
"You're tied for first place!" the little furball cleverly declared. "I love Auntie the most, mwah!"
He gave her a quick kiss, and Fu Qingruo was so overwhelmed by the sweetness that she didn't care about any other details.
...
Yi Tianran arrived at the location as agreed.
A woman dressed as a housekeeper opened the door as they entered carrying a package.
"Hello, I'm here to deliver a gift box, sent by Miss Fu Qingruo. Is Miss Li Manyue here?"
The butler said politely, "Miss is in the back garden with the other socialites. I'll take you there."
"good."
As the butler led them into the back garden, before they could utter a sound, they heard a series of exclamations of surprise.
"Wow! It really is Daniel's autograph. Lianxue, you are amazing. You are so talented as soon as you enter the entertainment industry. I am so envious."
"Not only are there autographs, but there are also photos and posters. Didn't you say before that Mr. Daniel doesn't like taking photos with women?"
Yi Lianxue calmly tossed her hair, but her smile couldn't hide her smugness: "I didn't expect Daniel to give me so much face. As soon as he heard I wanted a photo, he agreed without even a second's hesitation."
"Did he give you his contact information too?" The socialites' eyes gleamed. "Could it be that he's taken a liking to you? That's why he's being so nice to you."
