Chapter 390: Feels Like Being Set Up by the System

"Ugh, Mom, you should get them. I’m all smelly and need to wash up first."

Fu Mingxue felt like she’d been thoroughly marinated.

She really couldn’t stand it.

So, without waiting for Mrs. Fu to say anything else, she hurried home to take a shower.

Mrs. Fu pushed the tricycle back into the yard first.

Then she came back to carry the two children home.

"Darlings, play by yourselves for a bit. Grandma is going to make dinner."

The two children nodded quickly.

Then they kept peering inside—they had just heard their mommy come back.

’Where did Mommy go?’

Seeing their expectant gazes, Mrs. Fu said, "Go on and play for a bit. Your mommy is taking a shower. She’ll be out when she’s finished."

With that, she went into the kitchenette.

The two little ones were steady on their feet now.

They waited in the yard.

Fortunately, it was already evening, so the sun wasn’t too harsh.

Fu Mingxue finally came out half an hour later.

Seeing the two children, she quickly crouched down and opened her arms. "My darlings, come give Mommy a hug."

Little Keke was the first to run over, joyfully calling out, "Mommy, Mommy—"

Fu Mingxue absolutely adored this little girl.

After hugging the little dumpling, she planted kisses all over her little face.

She kissed the little dumpling until she started giggling.

"Mommy, Mommy, Keke missed Mommy—"

Her soft, sweet words melted Fu Mingxue’s heart.

’Good heavens, how could a child be this adorable?’

"Mommy missed Keke too. And of course, Mommy missed Hao Hao too. Come here, Mommy’s big baby, come over and let Mommy give you a hug."

Qin Hao had been standing far off, hesitating shyly.

He just watched his sister in their mother’s arms, his face filled with unconcealable envy.

Now that his mother was waving at him, he couldn’t maintain his reserve and trotted over.

"Mommy—"

He missed his mommy a lot too.

Fu Mingxue scooped him into her arms and planted a kiss on each cheek.

She kissed the reserved little guy until his face turned bright red.

Fu Mingxue looked at the little guy and was charmed by his apple-red face.

These two children were so adorable they completely stole her heart.

"Hao Hao, my darling, did you miss Mommy? Mommy missed you guys to death."

Qin Hao’s big eyes were especially sparkly right then. He replied with a single, loud word, "Yes."

"Come on, Mommy brought you gifts."

When Fu Mingxue was in Beijing City, she really hadn’t had time to go shopping.

’Her gifts were rewards from completing system quests.’

As soon as the two children heard there were gifts, their eyes went wide.

’At an age where they were still being potty-trained, how could they resist gifts?’

Fu Mingxue led them by the hand into her own room.

As she opened the wicker chest, she transferred the items from her spatial reward into it.

First was a very large xylophone.

She took it out. "This one is for your little sister."

Qin Keke’s face lit up with joy when she saw it.

Qin Hao, however, wasn’t interested in that. His eyes were glued to the other gift in the wicker chest.

Fu Mingxue didn’t tease him, simply taking it out and handing it over. "Here, this is for you. A toy car."

’Both of these were random rewards she’d earned after painstakingly grinding quests.’

’When she first saw them, she’d felt like the system had set her up. Why else would the rewards be two children’s toys?’

’It was almost as if they were special rewards meant just for her two kids.’

"Do you like it?"

Qin Hao hugged it excitedly, his eyes overflowing with sheer adoration.

"I love it! Thank you, Mommy!"
