By the time they parted ways the next day, Xiao Chifeng gave her a "Just wait and see" kind of look, which had Sikou Yao laughing for quite a while.
The four little darlings had no idea what was making their mummy laugh, each raising their adorable face in confusion, looking at her.
The eldest one asked her, "Mummy, what are you laughing at?"
The second one asked her, "Mummy, are you happy about separating from daddy?"
The third one asked her, "Mummy, are you really happy that daddy is leaving you alone?"
The fourth one, with a knowing face, said, "Mummy, I get it! You are playing the Eagle Catching Chickens game with daddy, aren't you?"
Sikou Yao looked bewildered and asked the fourth, "What Eagle Catching Chickens game? Who's the eagle? Who's the chicken?"
The fourth one naturally responded, "Of course, daddy is the eagle, and mummy, you are the chicken!"
Sikou Yao looked at him, still confused, and asked again, "Why can't mummy be the eagle if she's so great?"
