After finishing the rice noodles, everyone headed back to their respective homes and to their respective mothers.
Ouyang Jing went back to school, Xiaoting followed sister Zimo, and Jian Dan naturally returned home with Uncle.
As soon as they entered the house, Xiaoxin rushed into Jian Dan's arms, "Mommy, I missed you so much!"
"Mommy missed you too!"
"I bet you were having so much fun that you didn't have time to think about us!" Jian Xiaokai stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall.
"Who said I went to play? Mommy was clearly on a mission to handle ~important matters~!"
"Do you think I believe that?"
Their son was no pushover; conning him was not an easy task.
Ah, the world now had one more person who was as formidable as Uncle.
Seeing Jian Jian starting to falter under her son's relentless questioning, her lips curled into a smile.
This was good because it would prevent Jian Jian from leaving them thoughtlessly in the future.
