Ignoring Gao Xiaoxiao beside him, Gao Xiaobai's chubby face had an air of superiority as he reached out to take another model.
The silence in the room lasted for a while…
"Xiaobai, are you tired? Mommy will massage you." Gao Xiaoxiao went over to him obsequiously and massaged his little shoulders.
Gao Xiaobai was quiet.
Then he put down the model in his hand and narrowed his eyes at Gao Xiaoxiao. He said firmly, "Don't change the name of the caller ID."
"Okay!" Gao Xiaoxiao nodded immediately.
As long as her precious son was happy, she would do anything, let alone deciding on a mere contact name.
Gao Xiaobai continued building his model with satisfaction. "You have to tell me in advance if you don't come back to sleep next time."
"Alright!"
"We're running out of food at home. Let's go to the supermarket in the afternoon."
"Alright!"
"Let's eat outside tonight."
"Alright!"
The last shout was the loudest.
Gao Xiaobai was quiet.

However, before mother and son could leave the house, an uninvited guest came to visit.
Gao Xiaoxiao was taking an afternoon nap with her son in the bedroom. She frowned when she heard the doorbell and did not want to get out of bed at all.
Gao Xiaobai gently lifted the thin blanket and got up. He closed the bedroom door and walked over to open the door.
Gao Zhenning was standing outside the door, looking elegant. She was dressed like an upper-class woman.
When she saw Gao Xiaobai in his pajamas, her charming face broke into a loving smile. "Xiaobai, I'm grandma. Do you remember me?"
Gao Xiaobai glanced at her calmly and walked back to the living room.
Gao Zhenning pursed her lips in displeasure. "This child looks so cute, but his personality is like Gao Xiaoxiao's. That is not cute at all!" she thought.
She frowned as she walked in.
She had only been to this small apartment with two bedrooms and one living room a few times in the past few years. It was small and shabby. It could not accommodate more than two people in the living room. The television was so small and the sofa cover was also a little old. "Sigh…"
Gao Zhenning sighed inwardly as she watched Gao Xiaobai play with his phone on the sofa. She asked, "Xiaobai, is your mommy home?"
"No," said Gao Xiaobai without raising his head.
Gao Zhenning frowned. "Not here? Could it be… that Ye Xiao is still on a date with Han Zhen?"
Anxiety appeared on her face. "Why does Ye Xiao always have to cause trouble for me? There are so many men in the world, so why does she always have to like men she shouldn't?" she thought resentfully.
Her phone rang. It was Gu Yicheng.
Gao Zhenning glanced at it and immediately placed it by her ear. In a gentle voice, she said, "Hello, Hubby."
There was a pause.
"Alright, don't worry. I'll go back after I'm done."
There was a pause.
"Alright, Hubby. Drink less wine at the gala and take care of your health."
There was a pause.
After hanging up, the bedroom door opened. Gao Xiaoxiao, who was wearing the same pajamas as Gao Xiaobai, walked out and said angrily, "What are you doing here?"
Gao Zhenning walked over in surprise. "Xiaoxiao, you're actually at home. Mom has something to discuss with you. Let's go inside the room and talk."
As she spoke, she glanced at the little figure on the sofa.
Gao Xiaoxiao's face was cold, and her voice was equally cold. "We had nothing to do with each other these past three years. There's nothing much to say between us. You can leave."
