Chapter 564 - 563: Happy

Mrs. Qin smiled and said,

"Look how happy they are. It seems your place in their hearts as their mother is truly irreplaceable. These past few days, they’ve been constantly asking when their grandma was coming back, or when you were coming back. They’ve been anxiously waiting for you every day."

’It just goes to show, the longer you raise children by your side, the stronger the bond.’

Still, she was genuinely happy.

’It was a sign of the strong bond between the mother and her two children.’

’It also showed that her daughter-in-law truly loved the twins as her own.’

’Her daughter-in-law’s parents were the same—doting on the two as their very own grandson and granddaughter.’

’It would be even better if my daughter-in-law and my son, Wenhao, had another child—a boy or a girl, it wouldn’t matter.’

Of course, this was not something she would force.

If Mingxue didn’t want to have another child, that was fine too.

After all, her job was too important. Compared to her work, having a baby... well, her work was clearly more important.

After a reluctant farewell from her two children, Fu Mingxue went to the university.

Director Zheng was glad to have her back.

"You don’t need to teach any more classes this semester; they’re all finished. You can just schedule them for next year."

The university wasn’t so rigid as to insist she teach for a full month.

In any case, the quality of Fu Mingxue’s teaching had been exceptionally high. Even though she only taught for half a month, her performance was outstanding.

The university wasn’t going to make an issue of it.

Fu Mingxue, of course, was pleased.

"Alright."

"So, are you heading to the research institute next?"

Director Zheng knew she was the type who threw herself into her work.

Of course, he was tactful enough not to ask about Fu Mingxue having gone to repair an airplane a few days prior.

Fu Mingxue had been planning to go to the research institute anyway, since the blueprints she was working on were still in the design phase.

Some aspects required experimental data from the institute.

So, she nodded without hesitation. "Yes. I’ll head over tomorrow."

"By the way, Director Liu from the First Auto Factory has been calling. I told him you were away on a business trip. He probably has something urgent for you; he called yesterday and today asking when you would be back."

He didn’t know the specifics of Fu Mingxue’s situation, so there was no way for him to know when she would be back.

Fu Mingxue had a pretty good idea what this was about.

"Okay, I’ll give him a call back in a moment."

"Go ahead and use the phone in my office!"

At Director Zheng’s words, Fu Mingxue nodded.

She went to Director Zheng’s office next door right away and dialed Director Liu’s number.

The call was answered after two rings.

"Who is this?"

Director Liu’s voice came through the receiver.

"It’s me, Fu Mingxue. Director Liu, I heard you were looking for me. Is something important?"

Director Liu’s flat tone instantly turned excited when he heard it was Fu Mingxue.

"Group Leader Fu, you’re finally back! By the way, do you have time to come to our factory now? If not, this afternoon or this evening would be fine too—"

"Let’s make it this evening. I still have a few things to take care of at the university today. I’ll head over after 6 PM."

Remembering the expectant looks on her two little ones’ faces, she decided she would go home for dinner.

"Alright, alright, that works! Come over at six, then. I’ll wait for you at the factory."

"Alright." Fu Mingxue hung up the phone.

She had originally planned on coming back to teach today, but since classes were already over...

She might as well use the time to go over the problems her students had been struggling with.

At 4:30 PM, Fu Mingxue rode her distinctive electric bicycle back to the Qin Family Mansion.

"Mama!" The two little ones had thought their mother wouldn’t be home for dinner and were overjoyed to see her back so early.

They were, naturally, very happy.
