Yu Anwan stood still like a child, lowering her head and apologizing, “Dabao, I’m sorry. Mommy knows she made a mistake. I won’t be impulsive like that again.”

But as she spoke, Yu Anwan couldn’t help but raise her hand to defend herself, “I withdrew the order in time, so Wen Jin couldn’t find out.”

“Hehe…” Yu Dabao smirked, neither smiling nor laughing.

Yu Anwan was startled by Yu Dabao’s reaction, “Did that b*stard Wen Jin find out about you? Dabao, you’re not that bad, are you?”

Yu Dabao was speechless.

He had seen people shifting blame onto others, but he had never seen someone as direct as Yu Anwan.

But then again, she was his mommy, and he could only tolerate it.

Seeing that Yu Dabao didn’t respond, Yu Anwan grew more anxious. She anxiously circled Yu Dabao, bombarding him with questions.

Yu Dabao couldn’t take it anymore and said, “No.”

“You scared me to death…” Yu Anwan was genuinely scared, her forehead sweating. She patted her chest and said, “Dabao, don’t scare Mommy like that. Mommy has a weak heart, and you know how easily I get frightened.”

Yu Dabao stared at Yu Anwan with an expressionless face.

Yu Anwan was accustomed to this and quickly changed the topic, “By the way, starting tomorrow, I have a one-month job that will require me to leave early and come back late. I won’t be able to take care of you and Xiaobao as much. I’ll make arrangements with Auntie. Can you help Mommy take care of Xiaobao?”

“What job?” Yu Dabao asked directly.

Yu Anwan was at a loss for words and stammered, “Ah, it’s just a regular job, nothing important. It’s in Jiang City, and I’ll come back at night.”

“You’re going to work at Daddy’s place?” Yu Dabao asked without hesitation.

Yu Anwan hesitated to answer.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaobao had finished her cheesecake and overheard the conversation. She looked at Yu Anwan excitedly, “Mommy, if you’re going to work, can brother and I go to kindergarten? I want to go and play at the kindergarten. They have delicious food, and I can play with other children. It’s so boring at home.”

Yu Xiaobao pouted and made cute noises, resembling a little pig, but it was impossible to refuse her.

Yu Dabao glanced at Yu Xiaobao, he was disinterested in kindergarten. He felt like an alien among the children there and didn’t fit in at all.

Only someone as eccentric as Yu Xiaobao would want to go to such a boring place every day.

“If Xiaobao wants to go, then it’s fine,” Yu Anwan said with a beaming smile. “Mommy has found a good kindergarten for you. You can start tomorrow, but Auntie and Brother will accompany you, okay?”

“Great! Great!” Yu Xiaobao clapped her hands and looked at Yu Dabao. “Brother, you’ll come with me, right?”

Yu Anwan also looked at Yu Dabao nervously.

She knew how much Yu Dabao disliked kindergarten, but there was nothing she could do about it. If Yu Dabao didn’t want to do something, she couldn’t force him.

“Alright,” Yu Dabao reluctantly agreed, solely for the sake of Yu Xiaobao.

Yu Anwan also heaved a sigh of relief. At least Yu Anwan wouldn’t leave Yu Dabao alone at home. Yu Anwan felt more at ease that Yu Dabao was at school rather than at home. If anything happened, he would inform her immediately.

Most importantly, Yu Dabao’s presence could prevent Yu Xiaobao from doing anything too out of line.

Everyone would be fooled by Yu Xiaobao’s innocent face. They would never think that Yu Xiaobao was the one who had done those outrageous things.

“Xiaobao, promise Mommy that you won’t cause trouble at school, okay?” Yu Anwan instructed Yu Xiaobao in a low voice.

Yu Xiaobao innocently blinked her eyes. “Mommy, I’m so adorable. I’ll behave and listen to you.”

“You can’t believe…”

Yu Anwan wisely chose not to say those words out loud and then let Yu Xiaobao to bed.

When Yu Anwan came out of Yu Xiaobao’s room, she saw Yu Dabao standing at the doorway with a serious expression, waiting for her.

“Dabao, you startled me there,” Yu Anwan reproached him.

Yu Dabao had his hands behind his back. “Mommy, don’t you dislike Daddy the most? Why did you go to work at Daddy’s place?”

“Because I made a bet with Wen Jin that if I could stay by Zhanyan’s side for a month, I could bring him back. So, for the sake of your brother, I have to endure no matter what this month,” Yu Anwan explained to Yu Dabao without concealing anything.

Upon hearing this, Yu Dabao lowered his gaze, remaining motionless.

Yu Anwan thought that Yu Dabao was worried about her, so she crouched down and hugged him. “Don’t worry, Mommy will be fine.”

“Mommy…” Yu Dabao looked straight into Yu Anwan’s eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Yu Anwan was taken aback. She had never seen Yu Dabao so hesitant before.

Now, Yu Anwan felt a sense of unease and worry.

Yu Dabao finally spoke slowly, “Is it impossible between you and Daddy?”

“It’s impossible.” Yu Anwan replied directly, “I would never be with Wen Jin, even if you beat me to death.”

Her words were filled with resentment. In the end, Yu Dabao sighed silently, “Alright, I understand. Mommy, rest early. Good night.”

“Good night.” Yu Anwan bid Yu Dabao goodnight as well.

However, as she watched Yu Dabao’s small figure, Yu Anwan felt something was off.

In the end, Yu Anwan shrugged and didn’t say anything. After all, over the years, Yu Dabao had been the most worry-free child she had ever known, so she wasn’t too concerned.

After all the commotion, Yu Anwan was exhausted and headed to her room.

Just as she entered her room, her phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, Yu Anwan answered with a cheerful voice, “Uncle, did you miss me, Dabao, and Xiaobao? We missed you too.”

This sentence made Shen Xingyuan chuckle, “You have such a sweet mouth.”

Yu Anwan smiled and suddenly remembered something, “Uncle, I wanted to talk to you.”

“Go ahead,” Shen Xingyuan was curious.

“I want to revive Mommy’s career. Even though Mommy may never see it, I believe she would be very happy to know about it.” Yu Anwan’s tone turned a bit gloomy when she mentioned Han Qingqiu.

These words surprised Shen Xingyuan.

All these years, Yu Anwan had been very lazy. She focused almost entirely on Dabao and Xiaobao. Even the surgery was dependent on her mood. She could not afford to delay the time she spent with the children.

Shen Xingyuan had mentioned it before, but Yu Anwan remained indifferent. So, he eventually stopped bringing it up, knowing that Yu Anwan didn’t have the intention.

Now that Yu Anwan suddenly brought it up, it was bound to catch Shen Xingyuan off guard.

But Shen Xingyuan was delighted, “Anwan, you’ve finally come to your senses. This is great news. If you can successfully recreate your mommy’s final formula, it will be the greatest gift for her, and she will be very happy.”

Yu Anwan could sense Shen Xingyuan’s excitement, “Yes, I know. When the time comes, I’ll still need your help.”

“If you need help, just tell me,” Shen Xingyuan readily agreed.
