Chapter 556 - 271: The Thorny Fourth Person (Part 2)
Su Jiameng nodded and didn’t continue speaking until a familiar fluctuation came, "Prepare yourselves mentally, the teleportation is finished."
Not long after she spoke, bright white light flashed before their eyes, and when their vision returned to normal, the two of them were already in a concealed underground basement. The light from the teleportation array beneath their feet flickered, then gradually dimmed until it vanished completely.
Before teleporting, Su Jiameng had already changed into her usual casual attire, carrying a large travel bag on her back, looking as if she had just returned from a long trip. Qian Chen’s attire was similar, and the two looked quite like they were wearing couple outfits.
Beep beep beep beep—
The electronic door of the basement emitted a crisp ringing sound. Su Jiameng opened it from inside, only to see Changxi with his hands lightly folded in front of him, bowing slightly, "Welcome back, master. Was this trip enjoyable? May I ask where Mr. Qian Chen currently is?"
"It was okay, quite smooth... Qian Chen is behind me." Su Jiameng tossed her travel bag to Changxi to carry while adjusting the sun hat hanging around her neck onto her head, "While I’ve been away these past few days, did the two young masters behave themselves, or did they get into trouble?"
Not getting into trouble wouldn’t be Little Bears, would they? Changxi bitterly smiled internally. Huaifeng caused trouble with some restraint, at most it could only be considered messing around, not reaching the "getting into trouble" status. However, it’s better not to let the master know about these things, or else the second young master’s behind will suffer again.
"Both young masters are diligently studying. They’ve made considerable progress recently and keep talking about wanting to impress the master." When Changxi saw Qian Chen following behind, he reluctantly acknowledged this man. As long as Qian Chen didn’t hold the master back, he didn’t mind being a bit more amicable.
"They... well, they really are childlike." Though she said this, her face glowed with pride, which couldn’t be concealed.
This basement was built in the main store of Su Jiameng’s catering chain. She sometimes teleports here and sometimes in her room at home—both are quite safe and hidden places. As the owner, she hasn’t inspected the store, which is quite irresponsible.
She took advantage of this opportunity to check the accounts, see how the robots are operating, and examine the quality and hygiene of the food. Actually, she considers such actions unnecessary, as the store is managed by Changxi and Su Mo, and there wouldn’t naturally be errors.
So, she just took a quick tour, then prepared to go home. If the two little ones saw her return, they would definitely be happy.
Su Jiameng’s thoughts were spot on; she returned, and indeed, the two little buns were very happy. After all, whenever their mom disappeared, it would be one or two months before she reappeared, and this time she had been gone for less than two weeks, so how could they not be happy?
After school, the two little ones, along with Qianhe, returned together with their small backpacks. As soon as they entered, they saw their Uncle Changxi making hand signals at them, and the two, who had already started learning some secret sign language, immediately brightened their eyes.
Huaixi was visibly excited but forcibly contained his joy, while Little Bear Huaifeng was completely unrestrained, directly throwing his backpack aside, running towards the kitchen while shouting, "Mommy, mommy, mommy—"
Alright, no matter the time, her son’s "serial moniker" always left Su Jiameng at a loss. Watching her son dash over and leap into her arms, she firmly held the increasingly heavy little one, teasingly saying, "Not very steady!"
"Mom, why did you come back so early this time?" Huaifeng wriggled his way into her embrace, swinging his chubby legs.
Though to outsiders, Huaifeng’s question might seem like he was trying to chase her away or had some complaints, Su Jiameng understood her son’s temperament and quickly gave a response that made him beam with joy, even though Changxi rolled his eyes beside them.
She smilingly kissed the little guy’s cheek and said, "Our little ones wanted to have a parent-teacher meeting, didn’t they? As your mom, no matter what important things are at hand, I have to make it on time for it. You boys are much more valuable than those things..."
Alright, whether it was Little Bear Huaifeng or the quietly standing Huaixi beside her, they couldn’t be more satisfied with this answer. Feeling valued, Huaifeng showed his enthusiasm by holding his mom’s face and planting several kisses.
"Do you not feel guilty about deceiving two kids like this?" Watching Su Jiameng skillfully coax the two little rascals away, Qian Chen pursed his lips, showing a "never lets it slide" expression, saying, "If things hadn’t gone smoothly allowing you to return before the parent-teacher meeting, you probably wouldn’t have said that..."
"That’s why children are the easiest to fool and the easiest to satisfy," Su Jiameng said, not remorseful at all, instead smiling brightly. "If a little lie can keep them happy for a few hours, why not tell one? It’s very worth it."
Qian Chen remained silent, seeing how she elevated lying to such a "touching" level really showed how thick-skinned this woman was!
In the evening, after taking a nice bath, Su Jiameng changed into loose crossover training clothes and grabbed the two buns to check them in the training room.
"Mom... how about tomorrow?" Huaifeng instinctively covered his behind, aware that his mom loved to target that area. Apparently, it has a lot of flesh and tender skin, making a crisp sound upon impact... such a twisted preference QAQ
"Today it is, tomorrow’s training is tomorrow’s business."
"No—" Huaifeng cried, Huaixi kept a blank face.
Sure, having mom back was great, but it also meant that they’d occasionally be dragged off for training... euphemistically named, love education... all those complaints really just bring tears...
