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

When it's time for bed, Le Bao sings to Lin Zhi Xia.

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanning immediately covered her mouth.

"No need, your godmother needs to rest. You can sing your duck-counting song to your uncle when we get back."

Shen Shilan: No, I've heard enough.

Le Bao pried her mother's hands off and gasped for breath.

"It's not like counting ducks, the older sister is teaching the nest something new."

The chubby boy protested strongly, saying that he had learned a new song and wanted to sing it for his godmother.

"Okay, godmother also wants to hear what new songs the baby has learned."

Lin Zhixia leaned against the headboard, ready to go.

Shen Wanning wanted to stop them, but seeing how enthusiastic they both were, she felt too embarrassed to do so.

The chubby boy stood in the middle of the bed, mimicking how Rou Rou taught her the song.

"Little bok choy, turning yellow in the field, two or three years old, lost its mother..."

As soon as the singing started, Shen Wanning sensed that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the chubby boy got more and more into singing. But he could only repeat those four lines over and over again.

Coupled with the miserable expression on her face, Shen Wanning felt both amused and annoyed.

She manually shut the chubby boy's mouth.

"Your mother is standing right here, perfectly fine."

Why sing this of all things?

Isn't this like cutting a hole in your godmother's heart?

"Mommy, shall I sing?"

The chubby boy, oblivious to his surroundings, asked his mother for praise.

Little did she know, her song broke the hearts of two people present.

"What a load of rubbish!"

This was the first time Shen Wanning had ever sworn in front of the chubby boy.

Afterwards, she cautiously looked up at Lin Zhixia.

The chubby boy, who was expecting praise, froze, then turned to Lin Zhixia and asked:

"Godmother, is the baby singing?"

Lin Zhixia held her in her arms:

"The baby sang exceptionally well, and the godmother loved it."

Lin Zhixia knew that Le Bao was just trying to make her happy, and besides, what does a child know?

She's not that fragile, because of just a couple of lyrics.

Seeing that she seemed to be really alright, Shen Wanning finally felt relieved.

The three of them slept in one bed at night, with Le Bao sleeping between the two of them. She was the only one who kept chattering away.

Shen Wanning gave a perfunctory response, and only after the little fat boy had completely fallen asleep did the two of them look at the sleeping Le Bao.

"Le Bao is so cute!"

Lin Zhixia kissed her chubby cheek.

She has known this goddaughter since she was born.

"She's only cute when she's asleep."

A mother's criticisms are the most lethal.

Lin Zhixia seemed to have thought of something as well, and smiled.

It's really a headache when her goddaughter gets into trouble.

But this must be what people often call the troubles of happiness.

"Ningning, did my mom keep urging me to get married so she could get rid of me as a burden and start her own new family?"

Actually, I'll understand if they tell me, and I won't bother them.

But none of them ever told me this. Are they afraid that if I found out, I would cause trouble and disrupt their new family?

Lin Zhixia recalled her mother's various attempts to pressure her into marriage, and now everything seemed to make sense.

"Perhaps your aunt really hopes that you can have a home, a happy home."

Shen Wanning tightened her grip on Lin Zhixia's hand.

She had also thought of this.

Lin Zhixia knew her best friend was trying to comfort her, so she gave a self-deprecating laugh and remained silent.

"Go to sleep, it's getting late, we have to get up early tomorrow."

After Lin Zhixia finished speaking, she turned over and faced away from Shen Wanning.

But as she turned away, tears involuntarily streamed down her cheeks.

She bit her lower lip hard, telling herself it was okay, that she could live well even on her own.

But the dull ache in her heart still brought tears to her eyes.

Shen Wanning looked at her slightly trembling shoulders and knew that she must be crying secretly.

She didn't offer any more words of comfort, but simply pulled the blanket up slightly and gently covered her head.

That night, apart from Le Bao, who slept soundly in the middle of the night, neither of the two adults slept well.

The next day, when Lin Zhixia woke up, her eyes were swollen like walnuts.

Le Bao is already having breakfast in the living room.

"Godmother, are your eyes swollen?"

Upon seeing Lin Zhixia emerge with panda eyes, the chubby boy immediately asked her a question.

"Eat your food properly."

Shen Wanning stuffed a small steamed bun into her mouth, interrupting her from continuing to speak.

"Have a cup of coffee to reduce the swelling."

Shen Wanning handed Lin Zhixia a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

"I'll take Le Bao to school first, and then I'll come back."

Shen Wanning told her about today's arrangements.

"No need, you can go to the studio after you drop off Le Bao, I'm fine."

The studio is so busy right now, Lin Zhixia doesn't want to let her own situation interfere with the work.

"I can bring the work here to do."

How can work be more important than your best friend?

"Really, Ningning, you don't need to. Don't you have a big project to coordinate? I can handle it myself. I'm not as fragile as you think."

Lin Zhixia forced a smile, but how much reluctance was hidden in that smile?

"it is good."

Seeing her best friend's continued insistence, Shen Wanning didn't say anything more.

She knew her best friend just wanted to be alone.

However, she was still worried.

As she went downstairs, she picked up her phone and made a call.

The phone rang not far away.

She looked in the direction of the sound and was surprised to see two people standing not far away.

"Why are you here?"

Who else could these two be but Lu Chenyue and Xiao Nanfeng?

Not only Lin Zhixia and Shen Wanning didn't sleep well last night, but Lu Chenyue and Xiao Nanfeng also didn't sleep well either.

So the two brothers arrived at Lin Zhixia's building early in the morning to wait for her.

"I've come to pick you up."

Lu Chenyue took Le Bao's small schoolbag and Shen Wanning's handbag.

He had dark circles under his eyes, clearly indicating he hadn't been sleeping well.

"Sister-in-law, how is she?"

Xiao Nanfeng asked.

"Not very good."

Shen Wanning said so.

"Nanfeng, do you have any plans for today?"

Shen Wanning asked.

"No, sister-in-law, I'm fine today."

"I'm worried about leaving Xiaxia alone. Could you stay here and watch over her for me?"

Shen Wanning thought that having someone here to keep an eye on things would allow her to know immediately if anything happened.

"Yes, of course."

He had originally planned to stay here and watch over her today.

"Her parents might be looking for her today."

After a day of this, her parents must have known that Xiaxia already knew about their affair.

So they will definitely come to find her today.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll keep an eye on things."

Xiao Nanfeng solemnly promised.

Shen Wanning looked up at the building, then got into the car with unease.

Hopefully she won't get hurt again today!

After Shen Wanning and her family of three left, Xiao Nanfeng's gaze remained fixed on the upstairs, where he stared intently.

Hey everyone, please give me some feedback! I haven't done anything lately, and I feel like I've been getting fewer requests for feedback lately.
