During the drive back to Red Maple City, Ning Ran cast her gaze out the window and said nothing at all.

Honestly speaking, she still couldn't accept the fact that her two children were going to register their names under the Nan family's household register.

She couldn't quite tell whether she was happy or sad or beleaguered by other emotions, but she didn't feel like talking. All she wanted to do was to keep silent.

When they arrived at the villa in Red Maple City, she helped to bathe the children. After tucking them into bed, she lay down as well.

She was still worried about Erbao after lying in bed for a while, so she went to the nursery to carry Erbao to her room to sleep with her.

Surprisingly, Erbao wasn't asleep either. Instead, she was counting sheep.

Others counted inwardly to make themselves sleepy, but she counted aloud.

Good Lord! She's really exasperating and amusing! This method is unheard of. How could she possibly fall asleep by doing this? Instead, she'll only tire herself out!

“How about sleeping with me tonight, Darling?”

“It's okay, Mommy. I can manage on my own,” Erbao unexpectedly declined.

Ning Ran was exceedingly surprised at her refusal. “Why don't you want to sleep with me?”

“I'm thinking about something,” Erbao admitted solemnly.

Ning Ran was initially down in the dumps, but she instantly perked up at her daughter's somber expression. “You're thinking about something?”

At once, Erbao pouted. “Are you looking down on me, Mommy? Why can't I think about things? I often do so.”

“Okay, okay. Indeed, you're no longer a three-year-old kid and know a lot now. Then, do you mind telling me what you're thinking about?”

“It's a secret, so I can't tell you. It's my personal matter,” Erbao replied seriously.

“Whoa! My darling has her personal matter now. But I'm not an outsider. Instead, I'm your best friend. You should share your secret with your best friend,” Ning Ran teased.

“We're best friends, Mommy?” Erbao stared at her.

“Of course! We've always been best friends, no doubt!” Ning Ran exclaimed with a grin.
