  Afraid that Xiao Liuliu would trip and fall, Matriarch Yu called out, “My little sweetheart, slow down! Slow down!”


  Children loved the thrill of being chased around, so the more Matriarch Yu shouted, the faster Xiao Liuliu ran.

  Her laughter rang throughout the whole courtyard, making the snow of the cold winter less frosty.

  While Xiao Liuliu was running around happily, she suddenly caught sight of Nian Xiaomu, and her eyes immediately lit up!

  “Pretty Mommy!”


  Her soft cuddly body darted toward Nian Xiaomu and plunged forward to cling onto Nian Xiaomu’s leg.

  “Carry me!”


  “…”


  When Nian Xiaomu saw Xiao Liuliu, she could not shift her eyes away at all.

  Her heart melted when Xiao Liuliu ran toward her and cooed about being carried.

  Nian Xiaomu carried her up without hesitation and kissed her on her little face.

  After that one kiss, Nian Xiaomu felt that it still wasn’t enough. She kissed Xiao Liuliu a few more times until she saw Matriarch Yu walk toward her. Then, she put Xiao Liuliu down.

  Matriarch Yu smiled as she asked, “Done with your date? Why are you alone? Where’s Yuehan?”


  Nian Xiaomu: “…”


  How was she going to explain to the matriarch that she had not seen Yu Yuehan all day?

  “Grandma, actually, I…”


  “Alright, I know that you’re shy. I won’t ask anymore. As long as you’re together, Grandma is happy!” Then, pinching Xiao Liuliu’s cheeks, Matriarch Yu continued, “My little sweetheart, what did you just call Xiao Mumu? Say it once for Great-grandma to hear.”


  Nian Xiaomu: “…!!”


  “Pretty Mommy!” Xiao Liuliu’s cute voice called out cheerily.

  The two of them were acting like they were singing a duet and completely ignored Nian Xiaomu, who was so jittery that she could not even speak a word.

  “My little sweetheart is so smart. Your father must have done something right in his past life to have such a sweet darling like you now.” Matriarch Yu was already grinning from ear to ear.

  Watching the pair of great-grandmother and great-granddaughter teasing her in tandem, Nian Xiaomu silently complained in her heart, Yeah right. Yu Yuehan must have done something right in his past life to have found someone like me to be his girlfriend in this life.

  If it were not for her, how would he have such an adorable daughter?

  Matriarch Yu played with Xiao Liuliu for a while. Soon, the attendant told the elderly Matriarch Yu that it was time for her to return and take her medication.

  After sending off Matriarch Yu, Nian Xiaomu carried Xiao Liuliu in her arms again, unable to take her eyes off of her.

  Xiao Liuliu was already three years old.

  In these three years, Nian Xiaomu had never fulfilled her responsibility as a mother.

  She had even forgotten about the existence of Xiao Liuliu.

  As Nian Xiaomu looked down at Xiao Liuliu, who was nestled in her arms, images of Xiao Liuliu being mocked and bullied at school for not having a mother flashed past her mind…


  I’m sorry, Xiao Liuliu.

  Mommy shouldn’t have forgotten you.

  Mommy will never forget you again in the future…


  Nian Xiaomu’s arms tightened around Xiao Liuliu until she realized that Xiao Liuliu was beginning to feel uncomfortable. She snapped back to her senses and let go of her.

  Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Nian Xiaomu asked Xiao Liuliu with a smile, “Does Xiao Liuliu know how to build a snowman? Shall Mommy teach you how to make one?”


  As soon as she heard that it was time to play, Xiao Liuliu immediately hugged Nian Xiaomu’s neck in delight.

  Nian Xiaomu carried her up and then instructed the butler to get a thicker jacket and a pair of gloves for Xiao Liuliu. Meanwhile, she looked for a spot in the courtyard with thicker snow.

  After dressing Xiao Liuliu in warmer clothes, Nian Xiaomu knelt down on the snowy ground to teach her how to build a snowman.

  “Daddi!”
