Later that day, inside the kid''s room...

    Little Jade and Little Snow were now lying down on their bed and were ready to have their afternoon nap. Shi Enxi was there to make sure that they will fall asleep.

    "Mama, when we visit mama Yaoyao''s place?" Little Jade asked as he watched his mother tuck them under the blanket.

    She paused at his question. "Do you want to visit them?"

    The boy nodded and smiled cutely, "Papa Huang''s carrot juice is the best!"

    "You like carrot juice too?" She chuckled softly. She never liked carrots. It was Fan Xiao Yao''s favorite.

    "Yuck! Me no like carrots!" Little Snow exclaimed with a pout.

    "But carrots healthy! Mama Yaoyao said it''s good for eyes!" Little Jade said in defense.

    Before another round of fight will start, Shi Enxi interrupted them, "There, there, you two. It''s time for you to get some sleep."

    "But Xiao Yu not sleepy..."

    Little Snow nodded his head in agreement.

    "Can we visit mama Yaoyao and papa Huang?" Little Jade asked, his eyes brimming with expectation.

    Shi Enxi could see how attached his sons were towards the two people she called ''best friends''. Should she use this opportunity to ask Little Jade on how he thinks about living with his second parents? She should, right? She shouldn''t waste such an opportunity.

    "Yu''er?" She started.

    "Yes, mama?" The boy was still looking at her with sparkling eyes. He was waiting for her answer on visiting Fan Xiao Yao and her husband, Huang Li.

    "Do you want to be mama Yaoyao and papa Huang Li''s son?" She didn''t know if this was the right question to ask but this was the first question that entered her mind.

    The boy blinked his eyes in confusion, "Isn''t Xiao Yu already mama Yaoyao and papa Huang''s son too?"

    "Xiao Xue too!" Little Snow inserted with a wide grin.

    She smiled a bit. They were still little so it was a bit hard for her to explain things to them in an easy way that they could understand.

    "Then how about living with them? Do you want to live with them?"

    Little Jade tilted his head on the side, not really understanding the question, "Live? Not visit?"

    Oh, how Shi Enxi wished for her husband to be there to help her but he had to go to work so she was left alone with no one to help her.

    "Yes, you will live with them until you grow up." She ended up being straightforward to them. "You will not be able to be with Xue''er every day."

    The moment she said that, Little Jade''s eyes became misty.

    "No!" Little Snow hugged his brother, "No! NO!! Gege can''t leave!!!"

    Oh shit... it looked like she made the matter worse!

    She began panicking inwardly. Someone! Help!

    It was the first time Shi Enxi became so restless, not knowing what to do. She was someone who was used to saying straightforward things even if she ended up being harsh, she didn''t care. It was different when it came to her children tho. She needed to be gentle. She needed to twist her words and explain things to them in a nice way. It was Lu Mello who knew how to do that best.

    She wanted to cry along with the kids. The usual calm Shi Enxi was now anxious and clueless of what to do or say to her kids.

    "Don''t cry, don''t cry..." She tried her best to calm them down but the kids kept on crying as they hugged each other, not wanting to be separated.

    Just then, a knock was heard and Shi Enxi was saved when she heard what the maid announced, "Madam, Mrs. Huang is waiting downstairs."

    She rushed towards the door and pulled it open as she exclaimed, "Quick! Bring Xiao Yao here this instant!"

    ...

    "Mama bullied us!" Little Snow reported while pointing at his mother.

    "I-I didn''t mean to..." Shi Enxi said in her defense. She never felt so wrong in her life.

    "Mama is a big bully!" This time, it was Little Jade who shouted it.

    The two boys were hugging Fan Xiao Yao''s legs. The moment she came in earlier, they rushed to her side.

    Fan Xiao Yao was looking at them in confusion. It was kind of comical to see the two boys waiting for her to scold the other woman for ''bullying'' them.

    "What happened?"

    Before Shi Enxi could open her mouth, Little Snow interfered and exclaimed, "Mama wanted to take gege away from me! MEEE!! NO ONE CAN TAKE GEGE!!!"

    Fan Xiao Yao: "..."

    Shi Enxi: "..."

    There was no need for explanation. Fan Xiao Yao was able to get what Shi Enxi told them.

    "Yu''er will just begin living with Xiao Yao." His real mother retorted.

    "You can still visit him whenever you want to." Fan Xiao Yao quickly added. She didn''t want the kids to misunderstand and think that they will never see each other again.

    Little Snow ended up blinking a few times as he suddenly calmed down, "Really?"

    "Yes. But that will still depend if Xiao Yu wants to live with me." Fan Xiao Yao turned to the little man who was the cause of all the commotion in the room. "Xiao Yu, do you want to live with me?"

    The boy didn''t hesitate when he grinned and answered her with a "Yes!"

    "You won''t be able to be with Xiao Xue all the time." She squatted down to his level and gently cupped his cheek.

    "Is Xiao Xue allowed to visit Xiao Yu?"

    "Of course! Like what I said, he can visit us whenever he wants just to play with you."

    "Okay!"

    "Gege!" Little Snow complained, his eyes teary.

    Little Jade went to his brother''s side and held both his hands, "Xiao Xue, mama Yaoyao needs gege''s protection!"

    "Eh?"

    "Gege will become batman and protect mama Yaoyao from bad guys!" Little Jade said confidently. "Xiao Xue is Robin-"

    "Xiao Xue wants to become spiderman..." Little Snow muttered, cutting him off.

    "Okay! Xiao Xue protect mama, Xiao Yu protect mama Yaoyao from bad guys, okay?"

    "Un!" He nodded in agreement at the assignment his older brother gave him. "Okay!"

    On the other hand, Fan Xiao Yao and Shi Enxi were speechless upon hearing the boys'' conversation. They took a glance at each other. They never thought that it would be that easy.

    "T-That''s settled then?" Fan Xiao Yao carefully asked.

    "I think so..."
