Lu Wanqing dressed the child, helped him wash up, and then took him downstairs for breakfast.
Everyone had already gotten up and was sitting in the dining room. The breakfast today was also different from usual; it was small wontons handmade by Lu Wanqing.
As Mu Sijie had said, little Mu Lan absolutely loved his mommy's wontons. The small child ate three bowls in one go, his little belly bulging, yet he still stared at the big bowl, wanting more.
"Lanlan, if you're full, don't eat anymore. If you like it, Mommy will make it for you every day," Lu Wanqing said, noticing the child's unusual behavior and quickly reminding him.
Upon hearing this, little Mu Lan's eyes lit up, and he immediately said happily, "Really? Mommy will make it for me every day from now on?"
Lu Wanqing looked at the child's shining eyes and found it amusing. She instinctively wanted to nod and agree, but as the words were about to leave her throat, she suddenly remembered that she couldn't stay here forever. According to their prior agreement, she had to take turns staying at the homes of the five, no, four cubs and care for them.
"While Mommy is here, I will definitely make it for you every day," Lu Wanqing changed her tune, thinking.
Mu Sijie was also full. Like little Mu Lan, he couldn't resist wanting more. When he heard Lu Wanqing say she would make it for them every day, he couldn't help but be happy. But soon, hearing the child's innocent question and Lu Wanqing's sudden pause and change of words, he also suddenly remembered that Lu Wanqing wouldn't stay at his house forever; she would leave after a year.
Mu Sijie's heart suddenly felt anxious, but it was only for a moment. He quickly reassured himself. The other people didn't have a good impression of Lu Wanqing. On the contrary, because she had been revived from a mummified state, they were all a bit wary and didn't want to marry her.
If he talked to those people and asked them to give up on Lu Wanqing, it should be quite easy, right? Even the matter of Lu Wanqing going to their homes to care for the children might be negotiable.
As Mu Sijie thought about this, his mood improved. When he looked up at Lu Wanqing, his eyes were full of light.
Lu Wanqing didn't notice the change in Mu Sijie's gaze. She had comforted little Mu Lan, and breakfast was over.
The domestic robot would clean up the dishes, so they didn't need to worry about it.
Mu Sijie's parents tidied up briefly, said goodbye to them, and then got into the hovercar to go to work.
Mu Sijie hadn't left yet. He said to Lu Wanqing, "Let's take Mu Lan to kindergarten together."
Lu Wanqing didn't think much of it and readily agreed, "Okay."
Mu Lan was very happy. Today, Mommy and Daddy were going to take him to kindergarten together!
"Mu Lan, go get your schoolbag," Mu Sijie commanded, turning to Mu Lan.
Little Mu Lan's eyes sparkled, and he immediately nodded, "Okay!"
Lu Wanqing watched the child run upstairs and couldn't help but remind him, "Slow down, be careful not to fall."
Little Mu Lan was so happy. Hearing his mommy's caring words made his heart feel even sweeter. His steps seemed even lighter. He quickly reached the third floor, returned to his room, took out his schoolbag, and then ran downstairs with it on his back.
The hovercar was already parked at the entrance. Lu Wanqing watched the child run down from upstairs with his schoolbag, his cheeks flushed. She couldn't help but rub the top of his head and smile, saying, "There's still time, no need to rush."
Little Mu Lan wasn't worried about being late for class; he was just happy. He liked it when his parents took him to kindergarten together.
"Mhm," the little guy nodded.
Lu Wanqing smiled and took the child into the hovercar. Mu Sijie followed them and also got into the hovercar.
The hovercar was very fast, and they arrived at the kindergarten in no time.
The kindergarten teacher was waiting at the entrance. One by one, children were brought by their parents. The teacher smiled as she accepted the children and watched their parents leave.
The Mu family's hovercar also approached, stopping at the kindergarten entrance. The door opened.
Lu Wanqing rubbed little Mu Lan's fluffy little head and smiled, "Go to class."
Little Mu Lan looked back at his mommy, then turned to his daddy beside him, a little reluctant.
Little Mu Lan finally got out of the car. Lu Wanqing followed him out. She handed the child to the teacher and watched as the kindergarten teacher led the little guy into the school.
"Mommy," at this moment, little Mu Lan, who had already entered the kindergarten gate, suddenly turned back and called out to Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing was startled and looked up, asking, "What is it?"
Little Mu Lan looked at Lu Wanqing with pleading eyes. He couldn't help but say, "This afternoon, can you come pick me up with Daddy like you did yesterday?"
Lu Wanqing heard little Mu Lan's request, and Mu Sijie, who was behind them, also heard it.
Mu Sijie was a little surprised; he hadn't expected the child to make such a request.
"Yes," the next moment, Mu Sijie replied, his voice as beautiful as jade, gentle and magnanimous.
Inside the kindergarten gate, little Mu Lan's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing his father's answer. He became happy, "Mhm!"
Lu Wanqing also smiled, raised her hand, waved at little Mu Lan, and said gently, "Go in with the teacher. Daddy and I will come to pick you up this afternoon."
"Okay!" Little Mu Lan was overjoyed. This afternoon, Daddy and Mommy would come to pick him up together!
Lu Wanqing watched as little Mu Lan was led into the classroom by the kindergarten teacher, then turned and returned to the Mu family's hovercar.
The car door closed, and the hovercar quickly started moving again.
Lu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Why did you agree just now?" One person could have handled picking up the child.
Mu Sijie looked at her and said earnestly, "Didn't you notice? Mu Lan really hopes we'll pick him up together."
Lu Wanqing was stunned and hesitated, "But aren't you busy with work?"
"Before you came, I was the one who picked him up and dropped him off every day," Mu Sijie added.
Lu Wanqing was stunned again, then thought about it and smiled, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing," Mu Sijie's eyes were gentle, and his voice held a smile.
The hovercar soon arrived at the Mu family's company, stopped in the parking lot, and the doors opened.
Mu Sijie was supposed to get out now; he had to go to work.
Mu Sijie stood up.
Lu Wanqing looked at him.
However, Mu Sijie didn't get out immediately. He hesitated for a moment, then said to Lu Wanqing, "When we pick up the child this afternoon, could you come to the company first?"
"Ah?" Lu Wanqing was bewildered. She asked doubtfully, "Is something wrong?"
Mu Sijie said seriously, "We're going to pick up the child together, so it's naturally more convenient for both of us to go together. I still have work at the company. If it's convenient for you, could you pick me up from the company first, and then we can go together to pick up Mu Lan?"
