Hearing this, Director Zheng was overcome with respect.
’For someone so young to adopt another person’s children in this day and age is truly remarkable.’
’After all, raising a child is no simple matter, let alone two.’
’Who would willingly take on two extra mouths to feed?’
’Still, that comrade-in-arms—the father of those two kids—he was a remarkable man, too.’
"That’s wonderful! Let’s go!"
"Okay." Fu Mingxue hadn’t expected her mother-in-law to offer an explanation.
’It would have been fine even if she hadn’t said anything.’
’As long as she was raising them, she would treat them as her own.’
’If she and Qin Wenhao ever divorced, her bond with the children wouldn’t end just because of that.’
’Unless, of course, Qin Wenhao forbade her from seeing them. That would be a different story.’
Once the two of them had left, Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Fu looked at each other.
"Since Mingxue is busy," Mrs. Qin said to Mrs. Fu, "why don’t we look around the university ourselves? We’re here already, after all."
Mrs. Fu didn’t know the first thing about the place, but since her daughter’s mother-in-law had made the suggestion, she agreed.
"—Alright then."
"Let’s go!"
The two grandmothers, each holding a child, set off.
And it must be said, they made for quite an eye-catching sight.

Fu Mingxue hadn’t ridden her bicycle today.
So Director Zheng offered to find someone to borrow one from.
As luck would have it, they ran right into Yan Feng.
"Yan Feng, let Classmate Feng borrow your bicycle for a bit."
Yan Feng was quite surprised to see Director Zheng and Fu Mingxue together.
"—Of course. I’ll go get it now."
"We’ll go together. My bicycle is parked over there too."
So the three of them walked over together.
Yan Feng was curious, but he wasn’t foolish enough to ask any questions.
