"You and Jian are out playing too?"
Ming Wei asked Xiao Tong.
"Yes. Dad kicked us out. He’s worried Jian and I will turn into bookworms." Xiao Tong, a gentle little girl, replied softly.
Ming Wei: "My mom often tells my brothers and me that whether it’s studying or working, we need to balance work and leisure."
"Yes, my dad says the same thing." Xiao Tong nodded and smiled.
Ming Wei turned to Jian: "Han Qian said she wants to marry you when she grows up. Do you like her?" Wen Yi felt a bit uneasy as she heard Ming Wei ask Jian about what she had said.
Jian’s cheeks turned red, as he glared at Ming Wei: "I’m not familiar with her, and I won’t marry her when I grow up!" He turned his eyes to Xiao Tong: "Sis, I’m going home."
With that, Jian turned and left.
"Dad told us to go out and play!"
Xiao Tong grabbed Jian’s arm: "Are you mad at Vivi?"
"No."
Jian shook his head: "I just think playing outside is boring." His gaze fell on the hand Xiao Tong was using to grab his arm, and Jian stared at it steadily.
Xiao Tong, feeling his gaze, involuntarily let go.
After Jian walked away, Xiao Tong said: "Vivi, Jian isn’t mad at you, don’t be upset."
"I’m not upset." Ming Wei shook her head and asked Xiao Tong: "Why didn’t you bring Xiao Xuan out?" Xiao Xuan is Shen Yun’s son with Xiao Jin, Xiao Tong’s half-brother on her father’s side.
Hmm, and he shares a mother with Jian, but has a different father.
Xiao Tong: "My grandma took Xiao Xuan to their compound yesterday."
Ming Wei responded "Oh," and then, with a few other little girls, started playing a game of sandbag toss.
...
Shen family.
"You want to see Jian?" In the living room, Mrs. Shen sat on the sofa, quietly watching her previous son-in-law, Austin, for a while. She thought about what Austin had said, and after some time, she spoke to confirm his sudden appearance.
Truth be told, this was Mrs. Shen’s first time meeting Austin, but she thought Austin seemed alright, believing that this previous son-in-law probably had no issues with his character.
But still, her daughter got divorced. She suspected that there were some exaggerations in the explanations given after returning home.
"Yes, I’m here partly for business and partly because I want to see Jian. Ever since Jian and his mother left me, I haven’t seen him. I am undoubtedly an inadequate father to Jian."
Austin sat upright, his demeanor calm and composed, giving off a gentlemanly impression.
Wen Yi blinked, a bit uncertain, saying: "Not two, but three?"

"I’m not blaming you, but Sister Wen Yi, you really shouldn’t compare my mom to Auntie Su." Ming Wei’s face still showed some baby fat, she puffed her cheeks, looking adorably annoyed: "Sister Wen Yi, I don’t like hearing bad things about my mom, not at all. In my heart, my mom is my Little Fairy, the best mom ever!"
