One week later in Flower City, Ning Ran woke up in Raining Pavilion and noticed the two children sleeping next to her.

Erbao's chubby hands were wrapped tightly around Ning Ran's arm. With her head snuggled closely to Ning Ran, one could see the sweat beading across her forehead.

On the other side, Dabao was more restrained. He only hugged Ning Ran's arm with one hand, while his head was tilted away from her.

When she saw how soundly the children were sleeping, she didn't dare move a muscle for fear of waking them.

All she did was turn her head to look at Dabao before shifting her attention to Erbao.

Overwhelmed by a sense of bliss, Ning Ran let out a soft chuckle but ended up waking Dabao by accident.

When he opened his eyes to be greeted by the sight of his mother, he blinked at her before breaking into a satisfied smile.

The smile was so vibrant that Ning Ran's heart almost melted.

Dabao took after his father. Both of them seldom smiled, but when they did, it was so dazzling that it awed whoever saw it.

Leaning in, Ning Ran gave her son a kiss.

Dabao then sat up and reciprocated the kiss.

At the same time, their minute movements had inadvertently woken Erbao up.

The way she woke up was a lot more dramatic than her brother's. She first kicked out her legs before giving her hands a stretch. Thereafter, she turned around and threw herself onto Ning Ran's lap. “Mommy...”

Ning Ran was amused. This daughter of mine is so hyper. How can she cause such a huge commotion when she's only waking up?

“Mommy, I had a dream.”

Erbao was in a good mood, which was a rarity, as she usually woke up grouchy.

“Is that so? What did you dream of?” Ning Ran inquired with a smile.

Erbao's black obsidian eyes rolled around before a cunning smile broke out on her face. “I dreamt that the moment I woke up, you bought me strawberry-flavored ice cream! And it tasted delicious!”

Ning Ran instantly saw through Erbao's ploy of demanding ice cream from her.

“Hmm, dreams aren't real, so you shouldn't take them seriously,” Ning Ran teased her daughter.
