He turned back and said sincerely: “Xiao Mo, I feel relieved to see your current state. Although I don’t know what happened to you in these years, the road of life is too long, and there will always be ups and downs. You are still young, so even if you have to endure, you can get through these ups and downs.”
Mo Sui nodded: “I understand, Mr. Fu, take care.”

An An sat in the safety seat, looking forward to going home.
The little dumpling liked her new home very much. There were many toys, a piano, and a slide.
“An An, can Dad hire a piano teacher for you? You will have two lessons a week.” Gu Yicheng said.
“Okay.” The little dumpling tilted her head and asked, “Is it a piano teacher like Aunt Xiao Qin?”
Gu Yicheng smiled and said, “Yes, she is as good as Aunt Xiao Qin. But if you really want to learn, you can’t fish for three days and dry the net for two days. You must complete the tasks assigned by the teacher seriously.”
“Dad, what does fishing for three days and drying the net for two days mean?” An An asked.
“It means you can’t give up halfway. Do you want to learn?”
The little dumpling understood it all at once and nodded vigorously: “An An must persist!”
Gu Yicheng continued, “Dad is also going to put a swing in the living room, so you can swing in our home in the future. Do you want it, An An?”
“Yes!” An An’s eyes sparkled.
Gu Yicheng looked at her through the rearview mirror in the car and then said, “I also want to make a small bookcase in the study. In the future, the big bookcase will be used to store Dad and Mom’s books, and the small bookcase will be used to store An An’s picture books. Do you want it?”
“Yes!” An An almost jumped up from the safety seat, “I like reading picture books the most!”
Gu Yicheng showed a satisfied smile and continued, “Dad also decorated a children’s room for you. The room is pink, with a small desk, a small car, and bus tent, and a double-layer bed, just like the one in the homestay that day, made into a small tree hole. Do you want it, An An?”
He had done so much preparation and was already confident at this point. He just waited quietly after he finished speaking. (T/N: What a cunning father!)
However, who knew that the faint voice of the little dumpling came from the back seat?
“Don’t want…”
“What?” When the light turned red, Gu Yicheng stopped the car and turned back to ask.
An An’s mouth pursed. She said aggrievedly: “An An wants to sleep with Mom.”
“How can a grown-up child sleep with her mother?” Said Gu Yicheng.
The little dumpling pursed her lips and whispered: “I’m not a grown-up child. I’m only four years old.”
Gu Yicheng: …
Yesterday your mother said that you were eager to be the big kid.

Gu Yicheng tried his best to persuade An An in any way he could, but he couldn’t convince her.
The little dumpling was very stubborn. Even a lollipop, two candied haws, and three marshmallows couldn’t buy her off.
It was the happiest thing to sleep in her mother’s arms. Even if her father chased her away, she wouldn’t leave.
Hold on to her own little position!
It was only thirty minutes later that An An realized a problem for the first time: age was the key.
After a disagreement, her father sent her to her grandmother’s house!
The little dumpling’s cheeks were puffed up with anger, but she calmed down quietly when she thought about seeing her grandmother.
