Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Li An’an returned home at noon the next day, the three children dashed towards her.

“Mommy, you’re back. Baobao misses you so much.” “Mommy Jinjün misses you too.”

“Mommy! I miss you as well!” Junjun also chipped in.

Li An’an’s heart ached as she hugged them. “Mommy misses you too, but Mommy has to work overtime. In the future, Mommy will try to work less.”

“Okay, Mommy.”

The three children hugged Li An’an for a while and happily ran to the living room to watch television. Their new home was so big now, they enjoyed running around inside. Baobao even pestered her two brothers to play games. When her two brothers were unwilling, she would wheedle.

Li An’an smiled at the three children and stretched her tired back. She hadn’t slept well last night and was exhausted. Fortunately, Chu Yichen had an appointment with someone in the afternoon so she could come home.

“Miss Li, you’re back.” Auntie Li came back from emptying the trash downstairs and greeted Li An’an when she saw her.

“Yes, thank you for taking care of the babies yesterday”

“There’s no need to stand in ceremony. It’s my job, you’ve paid me. The three children are very obedient. Of course, I took good care of them. Oh right, I took 20 yuan from the 200 yuan in your drawer to buy some groceries. There’s 180 yuan remaining.”

“Yes, okay.” Li An’an went to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and saw the leftovers from last night. “Auntie Li, you don’t have to be so thrifty. Buy some good food.” She saw that there were only unfinished eggs and vegetables in the fridge, as well as some pickled vegetables.

“No, no. Nowadays, you spend a lot of money. As long as the children fill their stomachs, it’s fine. You have to save as much as you can. You’re too young and don’t know how hard it is to earn money. I only cook one dish for my grandson at home, just an egg. And he’s healthy and chubby all the same.” Li An’an smiled and didn’t refute her point of view. After all, there were differences between them.

In the past, no matter how much she skimped, she would never try to save on the children’s nutrition.

“Miss Li, I need to take two days off. I don’t think I can come in the next couple of days.”

“Is there an urgent situation that you have to go home?”

“Yes, it’s my husband’s illness. I’ve mentioned before that I need to go home, I can’t stay at your house every day. Anyway, you don’t pay me a high wage.”

Li An’an agreed. “Okay, but will you be able to come back in three days? I’m going on a business trip and it’ll probably be for a week. I’ll have to entrust the kids to you. Of course, if you don’t think it’s worth it, I’ll pay a little additional at the end of the month.’

When Auntie Li heard that she’d be paid extra, she couldn’t stop smiling. “Of course it’s possible. My mother-in-law is also taking care of my husband. I can spare some time to come here. I’ll take my leave for now, and will see you in three days.” Auntie Li gathered her belongings and left.

Seeing that the floor was dirty, Li An’an picked up the mop and gave it a clean. She knew that she couldn’t ask too much of Auntie Li hence she did the cleaning herself.

In the afternoon, she finally had time to sleep.

“Mommy, your phone is ringing.”

Li An’an was in a daze and didn’t want to open her eyes.

Li Baobao took her phone to the balcony and answered the call. “Daddy, do you miss Baobao?”

Chu Yichen was calling Li An’an from his car and didn’t expect the child to pick up. His mood immediately improved when he heard her sugary voice.

“Did you miss me?”

“Yes, Baobao misses you. But Mommy is sleeping and can’t answer your call. She’s very tired from working overtime last night.”

Chu Yichen raised his eyebrow. The child must have misunderstood him. He was looking for Li An’an, and not her mommy.

“Where’s your aunt?”

Baobao couldn’t think fast enough and thought, there wasn’t an aunt.

“Disappeared. Gone.”

Chu Yichen pinched his eyebrows.

“What does Baobao want? Daddy will buy it for you.”

“Candy! Lots of candy!”

“Alright, I’ll bring it to you in a bit!”
