Back to Three Years Old: Crushing Scumbags on a Parenting Reality Show 150

Chapter 150

“My relationship with my family isn’t good… I haven’t been back in a long time.”

“When Yan Yan was very young, I let slip a few things during surgery under anesthesia, she asked me about it when I woke up, and I brushed it off. But how does she know so much… How does she even know the specific address and name?”

“And how could I possibly tell Yan Yan that my mom loves me and will also love her… I wouldn’t say such a thing even under anesthesia. My relationship with my mom… It’s truly impossible, do you think Yan Yan watched too many TV dramas and made it all up?”

“Is there still time to fix this? Do you have the program team’s contact information? Can you ask them to edit this part out during post-production? Maybe… Maybe my mom is old and doesn’t watch live broadcasts.”

“No, definitely, she definitely doesn’t watch live broadcasts. She’s already at that age, she probably only watches TV. There’s still time, Zhang Jin, can you talk to the program team? Tell them Yan Yan was talking nonsense, there’s nothing we can do about the live broadcast, but for the edited version, I can have Yan Yan re-record it!”

Zhang Jin, repeatedly addressed, raised his hands and rubbed his temples helplessly.

The woman in front of him, pacing back and forth in her wheelchair like a headless fly, her face pale, her rambling words, she didn’t seem much more normal than Bai Lei downstairs.

“It’s too late.” Zhang Jin said, interrupting Liu Qiongfang’s rambling. “That was the wishing tree segment, logically, they should try to fulfill the children’s wishes.”

Zhang Jin, witnessing the two women’s frantic behavior today, felt like he was going crazy too. Liu Qiongfang wasn’t like this before, even after being injured and paralyzed, she wasn’t like this… Would people become this crazy after being triggered? Or… had he just never seen her true self?

Liu Qiongfang stared at Zhang Jin, horrified. “Fulfill her wish? How? Are they going to have my mom come and take Yan Yan and me away?”

“I don’t know what’s going on between you and your mom, but I suggest you calm down. Bai Lei had a point, you’re already in your thirties, what are you afraid of your mom for?” Zhang Jin said, after a few words of advice, he sighed. “I don’t think they’ll go as far as you’re imagining. But… they’ll probably contact your mom.”

“No, they can’t!” Liu Qiongfang said, hitting the armrest of her wheelchair hard.

“They can.” Zhang Jin said, taking out his phone, tapping a few times, and handing it to Liu Qiongfang. “The issue now isn’t about the edited version anymore. Even if your mom doesn’t watch the live broadcast, the program team will probably still contact her. Even if they don’t… other people will. She will definitely see the video of Yan Yan making her wish, it’s just a matter of time.”

Liu Qiongfang, her hand trembling, took the phone, it was Cheng Tingyan’s live broadcast channel.

On the screen, that little girl named Wei Maomao was gently touching Cheng Tingyan’s orange lantern with her small white bunny lantern.

The two little girls’ faces were illuminated by the candlelight, faint smiles on their lips.

But Liu Qiongfang didn’t even glance at the lanterns or the people. All her attention was on the comments flooding the screen.

“Jushan City, Jushan City! Is anyone in Jushan City! Can someone please go to Huangguo Residential Complex and find that osmanthus tree! I’ll reimburse your travel expenses, I’ll pay you now! Get a taxi! Go now! If I don’t see Yan Yan’s grandma soon, I’m going to have a heart attack!”

“I’m in Qingjiao City, next to Jushan City, I’m so anxious, is anyone closer? If not, I’m leaving now!”

“Those who are in different cities, wait, someone said they’re in Jushan City but not in Chengchuan District earlier, they wanted to be the fairy messenger, I wonder if they’ve left yet. The friend from Ningye District, are you still there? Are you still going?”

“Yan Yan’s wish made me cry! I wish I could grow wings and become a fairy!”

“I’m too old to be a fairy, I want to be a giant hammer, smash Cheng Feiying and that Bai woman flat. As expected of our earlier suspicions, Yan Yan is truly pitiful in the Cheng family!”

“No wonder Yan Yan was so different at the beginning compared to the first season, if it weren’t for our cute CEO Mao later, Yan Yan wouldn’t even know how to smile, she wasn’t as cheerful as in the first season!”

“I think it’s fine to lend money to your ex-wife for her treatment, charging interest is also okay. But changing the interest rate based on the child’s obedience, what the hell! They’re the good guys, and Yan Yan has to bear the burden? Ptui!”

“I’m the one from Ningye District, I was changing clothes earlier, I’m about to leave now. I’m Yan Yan’s fairy tonight!”

“Me! Me! I’m from Zhi’an District next door! I almost missed it because I was showering, I’m not far either, I’ll go too! I’ve been to Huangguo Residential Complex before, it’s quite big, the more people, the better, let’s find her together, friend from Ningye District!”

“Hey, hey! Wait! There’s an announcement! The program team is already contacting Grandma, they’re asking everyone to stay calm and not blindly search!”

“It’s best if the program team is willing to go, that residential complex looks quite big on the map, it’s probably not easy to find a specific courtyard with an osmanthus tree at this hour. The program team definitely has better resources, so everyone, don’t go to Huangguo Residential Complex so late at night, you probably won’t even be able to see the trees clearly.”

“Little fairies from Ningye and Zhi’an, go home, let’s wait for the program team to find Grandma!”

…

Liu Qiongfang, as she read the comments, still shocked by the viewers’ spontaneous actions, suddenly saw the official announcement pop up on the live broadcast page, it was like a giant block of ice hitting her, so cold and painful that she could barely breathe.

Zhang Jin, who had a headache from last night’s troubles, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, when he opened them again, he saw that the person in front of him was in an even worse state, as if she was about to faint.

“Hey, are you okay?” Zhang Jin asked, startled, standing up abruptly.

“The program team… they’re truly going to find her…” Liu Qiongfang said, her voice trembling, she returned the phone to Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin took the phone, glanced at the comments, and wasn’t surprised by the announcement.

“I told you, with this segment, the program team would definitely try to fulfill the babies’ wishes. And with the viewers so enthusiastic, if the program team didn’t do anything, it would be even more troublesome if the viewers went searching on their own.” Zhang Jin said, putting the phone back in his pocket, he went to the kitchen, poured a glass of warm water, and placed it next to Liu Qiongfang. “Drink some water and calm down. The program team is looking for your mom now, I don’t think they’ll find her that quickly even if they have resources. You better call your mom first, discuss what you can and can’t say.”

“I won’t…” Liu Qiongfang said instinctively, rejecting Zhang Jin’s suggestion.

“You won’t, what good will that do? The things you’re hiding, do you think it’s better for the program team to tell her, or for you to tell her yourself? It’s definitely impossible to hide it now, it’s just a matter of who she’ll hear it from. Maybe she’s already watched the live broadcast.” Zhang Jin said, then paused. “Did she call you last night?”

Liu Qiongfang frantically checked her phone, then shook her head blankly.

“Then you call her, just tell her the truth, the things Yan Yan said on the show… I advise you not to deny them blindly. If it’s true, then it’s true, if it’s not, then it’s not…” Zhang Jin said. “No matter what conflicts you had before, you’re still mother and daughter. It’s a family matter, the program team are outsiders. You’re also a mom in your thirties, what are you afraid of your mom for? No matter what your mom was like before, she should be old now, what are you afraid of? Afraid she’ll hit you? Wait… Did your mom actually hit you before?”

“No, she didn’t hit me.” Liu Qiongfang said, clutching her phone, her eyes lowered.

“Then let her scold you, it won’t hurt. And besides, in your current state, a mother’s heart, she’ll be more worried about you than angry, maybe she won’t even mind you hiding it from her for so many years. Just explain it to her nicely, say you were afraid she would worry…” Zhang Jin said patiently, offering suggestions.

“She wouldn’t scold me either…” Liu Qiongfang said, her head lowered, as if she was trying to stare a hole into the floor.

“It’s good that she doesn’t hit you or scold you. You guys… Forget it. Don’t mention the past, just use your mom’s sympathy for now, you truly need someone to take care of you. Then, after sorting out Yan Yan’s appearance fees from the two variety shows and those commercials, paying off the debts you owe the Cheng family, there should be enough left for the three of you to live on.”

Hearing this, Liu Qiongfang finally looked up. “The three of us?”

“You, your mom, and Yan Yan. Right, your mom should also have some savings, right? Pension? That should be enough to supplement your daily expenses.” Zhang Jin said, looking at the seemingly calmer Liu Qiongfang, he cleared his throat and lowered his voice. “If you want to continue your treatment later, I can try to find more commercials for Yan Yan, and if there are any drama opportunities, I can also help to keep an eye out. A few jobs should be enough for your treatment, it’s much better than borrowing money from the Cheng family with such high interest.”

“You came today to connect me with Bai Lei, to have me say Yan Yan was lying, to help Cheng Feiying turn things around.” Liu Qiongfang said, interrupting Zhang Jin’s plans. “But now you seem to be persuading me to take Yan Yan away from the Cheng family, confirming the things she said on the show.”

Zhang Jin scoffed. “That was my intention before, yes. But you were so scared when you heard Yan Yan mention your mom that you even dropped the pen. What, are you feeling brave now? Should I call Bai Lei back and have you sign the contract?”

“… “ Liu Qiongfang turned her face away. “My mom isn’t that easy to fool. She won’t believe me, she’ll believe Cheng Tingyan.”

“Then it’s settled. If you don’t testify for Bai Lei, Cheng Feiying will be stuck with that image of lending money to his ex-wife for her treatment, charging exorbitant interest based on his child’s obedience, ignoring his child, even bullying her.” Zhang Jin said, wiping his face with a wry smile. “I’m not going to pretend, you know what kind of person I am. If this continues, there’s no way I can save Cheng Feiying’s career, and my family also needs to eat, it’s better to stick with what’s familiar, I want to be Cheng Tingyan’s agent. I’ll help her earn your family’s living expenses, medical expenses.”

Liu Qiongfang: “… “

“Although Cheng Feiying is down and out now, you’ve seen my capabilities when we worked together in the past few years. Yan Yan only mentioned that you hid your illness from your mom, she didn’t say you haven’t contacted her for so many years. If you trust me, contact your mom now and get your stories straight. This is a crucial moment for building your image, we can’t let the program team ask random questions first.” Zhang Jin said, seeing that Liu Qiongfang was silent, he added, laying down the final blow, “It’s time for you to make a decision. If you dare to sign Bai Lei’s contract, testify that Cheng Tingyan was lying, then I’ll help you and Cheng Feiying. If you don’t dare, then we’ll contact your mom immediately and support Cheng Tingyan. You have to choose a side. I know you still have feelings for Cheng Feiying, but I hope you’ll choose Cheng Tingyan. Lies will always be exposed, it’s better to be honest. And besides… Men, they can’t see you when they’re successful, will they be able to see you when they’re even more successful? It’s better to… watch him fall into the mud, watch him sink. Then, when Cheng Tingyan rises to the top, if he has any ideas, any opportunities, won’t he have to come begging you?”

Saying this, Zhang Jin saw a spark of life return to Liu Qiongfang’s eyes.

Good, although she was a bit crazy, this kind of controllable crazy was much better than the previous one.

Zhang Jin continued persuading her from an angle she would be receptive to, finally, Liu Qiongfang made the call.

Sadly, ring after ring, no one answered.

“Maybe she’s old and already asleep.” Zhang Jin said, glancing at the time, he hesitated for a moment, then added, “But maybe not, let’s try again in half an hour.”

Liu Qiongfang, who had just relaxed because the call wasn’t answered: “… “

At Jushan City Airport, Chen Sujuan quietly watched as the screen of her phone, which was on silent, dimmed.

This was the first time in years that she didn’t answer her daughter’s call, or rather, the first time she didn’t receive her daughter’s call. And it was also the first time in years that she had turned her phone, which usually had the ringtone at full volume, to silent.

“Grandma Chen…” Jiang Heye said softly, after watching the phone screen dim, she was sitting next to Chen Sujuan.

“Go to sleep, we still have over an hour before boarding. You’ve been running around all day, get some more rest.” Chen Sujuan said, pulling the blanket over the little girl, she smiled apologetically. “I forgot to turn off the ringtone earlier, I’m old and slow, I woke you up.”

“Was that Yan Yan’s mom? She didn’t answer… Is it okay?” Jiang Heye asked, this was her first time receiving such a secret mission, she couldn’t ignore the large [Daughter] displayed on the screen earlier when the phone rang. They were about to get on a plane to go find Yan Yan’s mom, not calling her, not answering her calls, was it really okay after so long!

“I’ve already talked to her, said everything, she… might not even want to see me anymore.” Chen Sujuan said, gathering her gray hair, she looked at the boarding pass in the distance with a melancholic expression, she mumbled to herself, “I should have told her earlier that I wanted to see her.”

Even though they only talked on the phone a few times a year, and the person on the other end always sounded arrogant, talking about how happy her life was, always bringing up their past argument, mocking her short-sightedness… She shouldn’t have believed her.

She should have gone to see her.

She should have gone to see her long ago…

Regardless of the turmoil in the outside world, the little babies in Shudian had a great time at the wishing tree and the lantern festival, they even each brought back a small lantern to the villa, they were truly happy.

But some people’s happiness could last for a long time, while others’…

Wang Zhizhi liked this variety show very much.

He could play with his friends every day, there were fun things to do every day.

Mmm… And he met Beibei.

At the lantern festival tonight, when Shen Zilin said there were no fairies in the wishing tree, only the program team, Wen Dongyu was a bit disappointed, but Wang Zhizhi wasn’t at all. Beibei came to the show because the program team found her, so if he wanted to see Beibei and say goodbye to her, the program team was even more useful than fairies.

Everything was good, perfect, until the lantern selection.

That watermelon lantern, it was so pretty! Wang Zhizhi loved it at first sight.

But when he picked it up, he was praised by his dad.

“This watermelon lantern is a good choice, red and green, babies love these bright colors, your sister will definitely like it when you bring it back.”

So he put down the watermelon lantern and carefully chose one that a little girl would definitely not like! A spider lantern!

But at bedtime, the problem arose.

He didn’t like the spider lantern either, it looked so big… He wanted to put it somewhere he couldn’t see it when lying in bed, but his dad! Would always bring it back! He even told him, “The lantern you like, you should put it somewhere you can see it at a glance!”

Wang Zhizhi felt that his dad already knew he deliberately chose the spider lantern.

This was what was not so good about this otherwise great variety show! Why did children have to sleep with their dads! He had such a good time sleeping with Shen Zilin, Wen Dongyu, and the others before! Later, the program team was worried about safety… If they were worried about safety, children could sleep with other dads! Why did they have to sleep with their own dads!

After the spider lantern was brought back to his bedside for the umpteenth time, Wang Zhizhi, his eyes red, grabbed his pillow and rushed out of the room.

What was Wen Dongyu’s wish earlier? Sworn siblings? A great wish! Wang Zhizhi decided to go find his new sworn brother and sleep with him tonight, mmm, and his new sworn father!

Wang Zhizhi, fuming, ran all the way, he accidentally went to the wrong floor, and after running to the end of the corridor, he realized there were strangers in front of him…

Oh, and a familiar face.

“Yan Yan? Who is he?” Wang Zhizhi, who had been scared by the spider lantern all night, looked warily at the chubby grandpa standing next to Cheng Tingyan, and the strange… spiderweb-like pattern on his clothes, he held his pillow tightly and approached cautiously, sticking to the wall.

“I’m a staff member, here to talk to Cheng Tingyan.” Shi Dingshan said with a friendly smile.

Wang Zhizhi looked at Cheng Tingyan, who nodded.

“And you, little Wang Zhizhi, why are you running around the corridor with your pillow instead of sleeping? You can’t run like this, it’s not safe.” Shi Dingshan said, trying to make his smile even friendlier.

Wang Zhizhi, clutching his pillow, not wanting to answer, turned and ran away.

“… “ Shi Dingshan rubbed his hands awkwardly, he mumbled to himself, “Do I look too unfamiliar? Should I walk around more often…”

After saying that, Shi Dingshan looked down at Cheng Tingyan. “Oh, oh, where was I? Right, it wasn’t convenient to broadcast your first phone call during the live broadcast earlier. The live broadcast is off now, but your grandma is already on the plane, we can’t call her now. If you’re eager to talk to her, just wait, don’t sleep yet. If not, we can find another time tomorrow, in the morning or at noon.”

“Tomorrow, Maomao is sleepy, she’s probably asleep now. She won’t be able to sleep well if I keep running around.” Cheng Tingyan said, glancing at the closed door behind her.

Shi Dingshan, looking at the overly calm little girl, couldn’t help but squat down and comfort her. “Yan Yan, your grandma isn’t not coming to see you first, you’re still on the live broadcast now, it’s not convenient for her to come, right? And besides, your mom isn’t well, your grandma must be worried after hearing about it, it’s good that she’s going there first, so she can be at ease, then she’ll have the energy to handle your matters, right? Not coming here first doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about you, she truly wants to see you.”

“I know.” Cheng Tingyan said with a polite smile. “It’s okay.”

“Such a good girl, such a good girl.” Shi Dingshan said, patting Cheng Tingyan’s shoulder affectionately.

Cheng Tingyan could see Shi Dingshan’s kindness and concern. But she truly felt it was okay. She didn’t mind where Grandma went first, she wasn’t seeking affection, she just wanted her grandma to ensure that Liu Qiongfang would fight for her custody. Now that Grandma went there first, it was even better, it would help to push things forward.

A sensible child always touched people’s hearts.

Shi Dingshan, unaware of Cheng Tingyan’s thoughts, just looked at this pitiful and adorable little baby, he patted his chest and said solemnly, “Your grandma is willing to help your mom get your custody back, and the public opinion is also on your side. Oh, public opinion means the opinions of the viewers watching the live broadcast, they all think your grandma should take you away, that your dad shouldn’t have custody of you. Anyway, I, Director Qin, Director Wei, we’ll all help you, the odds are in your favor. Oh, right, there will be staff members on night duty at the door later, they’ll protect you. We adults are here, don’t worry too much about anything, sleep well, okay?”

After Cheng Tingyan’s obedient nod and soft thank you, Shi Dingshan, clutching his chest, left.

Then… he saw Wang Zhizhi, running around the corridor downstairs with his pillow.

“Wang…” Shi Dingshan just started speaking when Wang Zhizhi knocked on a door, then quickly squeezed through the opened crack.

Shi Dingshan: “… “

Wait, when he went back, he had to look in the mirror, did he have dinner on his face without knowing?

Cheng Tingyan, unaware of the misunderstanding downstairs, entered the room, the little chubby bunny, who had been yawning in bed before she left, seemed to have… fallen asleep?

Cheng Tingyan glanced at the motionless little one on the bed, she walked over quietly, gently pulled the blanket over her chubby belly, then walked to… the other empty bed.

Before she could even sit down, a fake-sleeping bunny suddenly sat up, startling her, she instinctively sat down on the empty bed next to it.

The little milk tea bunny, her bunny ears perked up, sat quietly, her lips pursed, her cheeks puffed out.

Cheng Tingyan: “… “

Although the little chubby bunny didn’t say a word, Cheng Tingyan could almost hear her childish voice, “Yan Yan, you’re on the wrong bed!”

Ah, what should she do after being caught by a baby! Asking for help online! Urgent!

The memories of those peaceful and happy nights sleeping with the adorable little bunny when she was six were vivid.

But… the twenty-four-year-old her was truly a bit embarrassed.

Speaking of which… wasn’t she asleep…

After a moment of hesitation, Cheng Tingyan saw the little milk tea bunny raise her paws, one grabbing, the other pulling, the originally perked-up bunny ears drooped, her expression of grievance and pity amplified a hundredfold.

Who could resist this?

Cheng Tingyan immediately climbed back onto the correct bed, she petted the little chubby bunny from head to toe, then kindly pulled her bunny ears back up.

But although her ears were perked up, the bunny wasn’t.

“I thought you were asleep, I was afraid of waking you up if I came over.” Cheng Tingyan said, taking off the bunny ear hood and rubbing the soft, cloud-like messy hair. She was telling the truth, just omitting some parts.

“Yan Yan, in the air-raid shelter today, I didn’t see the rope, I didn’t see the person, I… I didn’t protect you, I’m useless.” Wei Maomao said, finally mustering the courage to speak, seeing that the person next to her frowned, as if to refute, she quickly covered her mouth with her paw and continued, “I’ll keep my eyes wide open in the future, I’ll…”

Cheng Tingyan couldn’t listen anymore, she grabbed the little paw covering her mouth. “You’re only…”

But after saying just those two words, Cheng Tingyan, looking at the little chubby bunny, her face full of frustration and determination, suddenly realized she shouldn’t say “You’re only three years old.”

For a three-year-old, how could she understand the limitations of being three, how could she know that she had already done far more than a three-year-old could?

She shouldn’t say that.

What would the six-year-old her say…

“Maomao, you protected me. You shouted loudly, you called Sister Mingming and Brother Xiao Shi. If it weren’t for you, the bad guy would have run away. If we didn’t catch him, he would do bad things again. It’s all thanks to you that we’re safe!” Cheng Tingyan said without hesitation, she pulled the soft, chubby little bunny into her arms and hugged her tightly. “Maomao, you’re the most useful!”

“But I didn’t see it…” Wei Maomao said, wriggling in her arms, she still couldn’t stop blaming herself.

“You don’t have to see it, I saw it. I’ll protect you, you’ll protect me, didn’t we say that before?”

“I also want to protect Maomao. Maomao is three, I’m six, Maomao protected me once, I should protect Maomao twice. Maomao is so amazing, she protected me once, and I could only protect her once, I’m the useless one.”

“Will Maomao dislike me for being useless?”

…

Too many punches overwhelmed the master.

By the time Wei Maomao realized what was happening, they were already lying side by side in bed, covered with the blanket. Cheng Tingyan had become the one reflecting, and all her time was spent saying things like “I won’t dislike Yan Yan,” “Yan Yan is useful,” “I like Yan Yan the most”…

Something felt… wrong.

Wei Maomao shifted, lying on her side, facing Cheng Tingyan.

She felt that Yan Yan was a bit different. Ever since they came out of the air-raid shelter, she seemed a bit different… Was she scared by the bad guy, so she suddenly became more affectionate…

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Cheng Tingyan asked, reaching out to touch the little chubby bunny’s soft cheek. “We’re both very useful now, why aren’t you sleeping?”

Wei Maomao puffed out her cheeks, her tongue poking Cheng Tingyan’s hand from inside.

So being scared by the bad guy also made her want to touch her?

She seemed to have been petted more today than in the entire past week, her head rubbed, her face pinched, her nose scratched…

“Yan Yan, you seem a bit different.” Wei Maomao said, putting her paw on Cheng Tingyan’s hand, which was on her face.

Cheng Tingyan, on the first day of her rebirth: “… “

Seriously, she hadn’t even finished the first day of her rebirth, and she was already exposed by this three-year-old…

Before the cold sweat could even form on her back, a warm, milk tea bunny jumped into her arms.

“Yan Yan, don’t be scared, the bad guy has been caught. If you’re scared, just hug me tight, I’ll become useful, I’ll protect you!” Wei Maomao said, she didn’t know how to comfort Cheng Tingyan, who was clearly different from before they entered the air-raid shelter, all she could do was…

Cheng Tingyan watched as the little baby in her arms raised her paw and pulled up the sleeve of her milk tea bunny outfit, revealing a chubby, lotus root-like arm.

“Protect you!” Wei Maomao said, patting her exposed fleshy arm.

This… although the arm did look quite “powerful,” but…

Cheng Tingyan poked the soft, bouncy little chubby lotus root with her finger, she couldn’t help but chuckle.

Ah, why was there such a cute baby.

She was almost dying from cuteness overload, but this was only the first day of her rebirth!

“Yan Yan, you’re laughing…” A childish voice said, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

“Mmm, pfft… I’m laughing. I’m happy.” Cheng Tingyan said, she really wanted to roll around on the bed with this little chubby bunny, but she couldn’t lift her, so she just imagined it.

The regrets from her unfulfilled dreams in her past life, the long and agonizing wait in the future… She thought she would struggle and suffer, work hard and suffer, for the day she met Little Cookie again.

But…

Ah! How could there be such a cute baby! Even a bed-wetting baby, she was still the cutest baby in the world!

Adding two pounds of sugar to a bowl of traditional Chinese medicine, it couldn’t be purely bitter anymore!

“Maomao, after my mom gets my custody back, can I move near your house?” Cheng Tingyan asked, squeezing the little white lotus root. “You can use this lotus root… mmm, this fleshy arm to protect me.”

An irresistible, huge pie of surprise fell on Wei Maomao’s head, but before she could even react, she heard the second half of the sentence.

How should she put it… something felt wrong again.

But…

“Really?” Wei Maomao asked, sitting up abruptly, staring intently. “Yan Yan, are you serious?”

“Really, we’re already in the same city.” Cheng Tingyan said with a smile. “Maomao, don’t you want to live closer to me?”

After all, regarding Maomao’s mom’s incident, she only knew the approximate time, she knew they moved to that residential complex for the school district, then encountered a falling object. Living closer, having a better relationship, she could better grasp their movements, and things would be smoother when the butterfly effect happened. There was no such thing as unconditional trust, for a minor to change an adult’s decision, she had to build a strong emotional foundation. And Cheng Tingyan still remembered the six-year-old her’s reluctance to part with the little chubby bunny. The current her was no longer the powerless six-year-old who could only go with the flow, she would take control of her own fate. If she didn’t want to be separated, then they wouldn’t be separated.

Although Cheng Tingyan had planned all this in her mind earlier today, this was her intention, but based on her personality, she shouldn’t have mentioned it before taking the first step. It was just that this little chubby bunny was too sweet, too cute, she couldn’t help herself.

“I do! But your mom…” Wei Maomao started to say, but was interrupted by Cheng Tingyan.

“My mom, it’s okay.” Cheng Tingyan said, pulling the little chubby bunny back down, this time, she naturally pulled the bunny into her arms. “Okay, sleep now, you’ll become stronger after sleeping, then you can protect me.”

Wei Maomao: “… “ Have you ever seen anyone fall asleep immediately after being hit by a pie of surprise?

From childhood to adulthood, Cheng Rongrong had brought too many bad memories to Cheng Tingyan, the Cheng Tingyan in her past life never liked children. And after falling in love with Little Cookie, she felt even more distant from children.

But…

Cheng Tingyan held the little chubby bunny in her arms, the bunny becoming docile, lying there softly.

She smelled…

Cheng Tingyan sniffed, mmm… a milky fragrance.

Okay, from today onwards, she also had a baby!
