The campus was filled with childlike innocence and charm. Colorful foam mats were laid out on the ground. The weather was lovely, and the three of them sat in the yard, eating and chatting.
It was their first time eating food their Mommy bought – small cakes they couldn't usually have. She held the children close on either side, their hearts brimming with joy and happiness.
After a few bites, the little girl asked, "Mommy, when are you going to live at Daddy's house too? I want to see Daddy and you every day. I also want to have both a Daddy and a Mommy like other children."
How long had it been since she started associating with Zhan Bei Jue? Calling him "Daddy" this and "Daddy" that, Jiang Nan Fang felt a pang of jealousy. "Don't you want to come back to Dan Country with me? How can you say things like asking me to live at someone else's house? Is Zhan Bei Jue treating you well? Do you like him?"
The little girl saw through her thoughts and said, "Yes, Daddy treats us very well. He's gentle and considerate, and he gives us whatever we want. We like him a lot. Mommy, do you and Daddy have some misunderstanding, which is why you don't want to go back?"
Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding could there be?
When she was carrying the children and he tried to kill them all, he hadn't seemed gentle or considerate at all.
"Children don't understand grown-up matters. Anyway, rest assured, Mommy will talk it over with him as soon as possible and take you back. Mommy will never give up on you. We will be together forever and ever, okay?"
It seemed that last night's incident of being trapped in the elevator had yielded no progress, as Mommy was still saying such things today. The brother and sister exchanged glances and sighed inwardly.
Recalling the plot points mentioned in the comic, Rui Rui felt that Mommy was very much prone to saying the opposite of what she truly meant.
If she truly hated Daddy and had completely forgotten their past, how could she have drawn something so touching?
So he subtly said to her, "But Sister wants to reunite with you now. Every night before sleep, she asks me to tell her the story you hadn't finished telling. Mommy, why don't you go back and stay for a few days for our sake? We miss sleeping with you and listening to your stories every day."
How could Jiang Nan Fang not want to sleep with them and tell them stories every day?
What a curse! Just thinking about it made her feel that marrying someone named Zhan was a curse!
"If you want to hear stories, call Mommy later, and Mommy will tell them to you over the phone. Some things are very complicated, and children can't understand them. I'll tell you when you're older. For now, as I said, Mommy guarantees that we will reunite as soon as possible, okay?"
Rui Rui sighed, "Mommy, if you could write the story into a book, we could read it ourselves. That way, we wouldn't be taking up your time every day."
Back at the company, thinking about what the children had just said and looking at the increasing number of likes on Weibo, Jiang Nan Fang suddenly changed her mind.
Turning it into a published comic might be good. Not for fame, but it would be nice to have it as a bedtime story for the children, something they liked.
Since someone was eager to publish it, why not?
Therefore, Jiang Nan Fang called back the editor from Huahuo Publishing House.
She confirmed that the story was her original work and that the copyright was independent. After negotiating the copyright price, the editor sent her an electronic contract before she left work in the afternoon. Jiang Nan Fang signed the contract, went home, and that night, she updated her comic diligently and in a timely manner.
Having not picked up her son and daughter from school in person for several days, Zhan Bei Jue felt guilty. Today, he deliberately set aside a lot of work and appeared at the kindergarten entrance precisely at five o'clock.
Handsome Daddy had arrived, and as expected, he was envied by many. The two children greeted him affectionately at the entrance and happily got into the car.
Zhan Jing Ge sat on his lap, one hand around his neck and the other habitually poking his Adam's apple. "Daddy, you haven't picked us up from school for several days. Why do you have so much free time today?"
