Jian Ran had started to get used to the life of commuting to and from work, finally reclaiming her innocence.
She left the company, intending to pick up the children after school.
Lan Lan, knowing her situation, insisted on treating her to a meal.
Jian Ran had a particularly busy day at work and was quite tired, so it worked out perfectly, sparing her the need to cook.
After picking up the children, they went straight to the restaurant where she had agreed to meet Lan Lan.
Pingping glanced at his mom and then said, "Mommy, did you go to work today?"
Jian Ran responded with a smile, "Yes, Mommy went to work."
Lele couldn't help but clap his hands with joy, exclaiming, "That's great, Mommy is working, and we have money again. Hmm, we'll soon be able to buy lollipops."
Jian Ran replied in mock exasperation, "As if you were shortchanged when Mommy wasn't working?"
"But it's better when Mommy has a job!" Lele's little mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, so sweet was her voice.
