My baby is two and a half years old. Daddy, hurry up and make some milk!

"A beast, not even human."

After listening to Teacher Ranran's statement, Shen Wanning couldn't help but slam her hand on the table and stand up.

Le Bao, sitting in her mother's lap, was startled and stared blankly at her.

"Baby, I'm sorry, Mommy wasn't right. Mommy scared you."

Shen Wanning pressed the child's head into her arms and stroked her little head.

Then he took a box of cookies from the drawer and handed it to her.

"Baby, why don't you and your brother go over there and get some snacks?"

After sending the child away, the group continued their previous conversation.

"You mean, you want us to get involved in Lele's custody issue?"

Teacher Ranran looked at everyone somewhat awkwardly:

"I know this request is presumptuous, but I really can't think of any other way. Lele is such a pitiful child. Today I saw that he was covered in injuries. He ate so much at noon just so he wouldn't go hungry at night."

As she spoke, she choked up again.

Shen Wanning and Gu Nansheng exchanged a glance, both seeing the decision in each other's eyes.

"Teacher Ranran, we can help with this. However, we need to find Lele's mother first and ask for her opinion. If she agrees to raise him, then we can help; otherwise, it won't be of any use even if we want to."

As women with children, Shen Wanning and Gu Nansheng would certainly be happy to help a mother get her child back, provided she is willing.

"Don't worry about that. When the police came today, they notified Lele's mother. I saw the phone number. I'll go back to the hospital in a bit and talk to her in person."

After receiving Shen Wanning's answer, Teacher Ranran was overjoyed. She couldn't sit still for a moment and immediately went to the hospital.

"This teacher doesn't look very old, but she's quite responsible towards the children."

After the teacher left, Gu Nansheng had a good impression of her. She hadn't had much contact with her, mainly because her child was too well-behaved, so she never had the chance to be called in by the teacher.

"Teacher Ranran is indeed a good teacher."

Looking at the chubby baby in the room, who was being fed by Yu Muchen and was covered in grime, Shen Wanning thought of the thin and quiet little boy and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

Hopefully, the child's mother is a good person, so at least he still has hope.

The three adults chatted idly on the side. After finishing his cookies, Le Bao pulled out a box of inkpads from somewhere and opened it for her.

The chubby little hand pressed inside, and when it came out, it was all red.

Children of this age are particularly curious about colors. Looking at her hands covered in red, she first patted them on her clothes, leaving several small handprints.

She seemed to have found it enjoyable, and photographed every part of her body that could be photographed.

After taking pictures of her own work, she looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction, and then turned her attention to Yu Muchen.

Her first slap landed on Yu Muchen's face. This time she didn't use much force, but gently stroked his face, leaving five finger marks on Yu Muchen's fair face.

Yu Muchen watched her act up with doting eyes, even bending down slightly to bring his face closer.

With one side covered, the other couldn't be left out either. Forehead, chin, mouth, nose, clothes—in no time, Yu Muchen's face and body were covered in Le Bao's handprints.

Seeing Yu Muchen's face covered in finger marks, Le Bao burst into laughter.

The three people who were chatting turned to look when they heard Le Bao's infectious laughter.

Gu Nansheng: Could this guy with all those handprints on his face be my germaphobe?

Shen Shilan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Only Shen Wanning's veins were bulging. That brat had caused trouble for her in just a short time.

Yu Muchen looked at Shen Shilan, who was laughing heartily, and whispered something in Le Bao's ear.

The little chubby boy's eyes lit up, and he pressed his little hand into the inkpad twice before scrambling up and running towards his uncle.

Shen Shilan, who had been laughing heartily, suddenly shut up when she saw her niece running towards her with a big smile on her face, her eyes filled with horror.

Just as Le Bao was about to touch him, he sprang up, took a big step, and jumped over Le Bao's head.

Just kidding, he already had his outfit ruined by the chubby kid this morning, and he hadn't had enough of this outfit yet. He didn't want to go out covered in fingerprints.

The little guy looked up when he missed his uncle and exclaimed, "Hey, where's my big uncle?"

Gu Nansheng found it amusing and pointed behind Le Bao.

Confused, Le Bao turned around and saw Shen Shilan. She smiled and ran towards him.

"Don't come any closer!"

Shen Shilan shouted and ran outside. When Le Bao saw that her uncle had been scared away, she got even more excited.

She chased after him, laughing loudly, and soon Shen Shilan's screams could be heard from outside.

Shen Wanning sighed helplessly and looked at Yu Muchen, who was sitting quietly on the sofa wiping his face.

"Sister Nansheng, don't you think Le Bao and Mu Chen should switch genders?"

She gave birth to a daughter, but she was not well-behaved; she was a real little devil.

Gu Nansheng gave birth to a son who was incredibly well-behaved and quiet, so his parents didn't have to worry about anything.

"Le Bao is fine as he is. Mu Chen is just too quiet. I haven't had a chance to experience being a parent at all."

Shen Wanning: I seriously suspect you're showing off.

Gu Nansheng genuinely hoped that her son could be more lively, preferably as mischievous as Le Bao, so that she could also experience being the parent of a naughty child.

Yu Chengyan was quite satisfied with his son. He was mature, intelligent, and had his own opinions at such a young age. Most importantly, unlike Le Bao, he didn't cling to his mother, so he and Gu Nansheng had plenty of private space.

This is what Lu Chenyue has always dreamed of.

On his way home that evening, Shen Shilan drove directly to the Shen family home.

Lu Chenyue left early today. When he went to Shen Wanning's studio, the receptionist told him that President Shen had already left, so he rushed home without stopping.

"Dad, where are Ningning and Lebao?"

Lu Chenyue went upstairs to look for him, but didn't see him. He then came downstairs to ask Lu Jianguo, who was sitting in the living room drinking tea.

Lu Jianguo rolled his eyes at him and said irritably:

"Your wife and daughter are having dinner next door tonight, so you're going to be all alone in your room."

That useless brat can't even coax his daughter; he hasn't seen his precious grandson for a whole day.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chenyue ran back to his room and rummaged through it. He then rushed downstairs, carrying a full load of gift boxes and toys.

When Lu Chenyue arrived at the Shen family home, Shen Wanning was rummaging through Le Bao's schoolbag.

When she got off the bus today, something seemed off about the little guy's backpack. It was usually so light and empty, like a feather, but today it felt so heavy.

She never thought the little one would be obedient enough to bring home books and tools, because she would never even touch the backpack she brought back, let alone study.
