Lan Baobao knew she wouldn't stay at home all the time; after resting for a while, she wanted to go out again. It was better to go out and explore on her own.
At that moment, Grandpa Ye returned with Mumu and Ruo Ruo.
“Mommy.” Seeing Lan Baobao, the two children were naturally very happy.
“Mumu and Ruo Ruo, be good. Do you want to go out with Mommy?” Lan Baobao thought it would be nice to play with the kids.
“Mommy, I still want to spend time with Grandpa later. You can go with Mumu,” Ruo Ruo said sweetly.
“Okay, then I'll go with Mumu,” Lan Baobao didn't mind.
First, Lan Baobao took Mumu out to eat because she was really hungry herself.
“Mumu, did you have fun playing?” Lan Baobao asked with a smile as she watched Mumu eating happily. As long as she saw Mumu so joyful, Lan Baobao felt that all her exhaustion was worth it.
“Of course I'm happy.” Even though Mumu was quite mature for her age and didn't like many toys, she was still a child. After playing around with Grandpa Ye, Mumu was very happy today, her face always lit up with an excited smile.
“Hmm, that's good. How about we cancel all the weekend extracurricular classes from now on? Mommy wants Mumu to be happy every weekend. We can go to the park or travel to other cities,” Lan Baobao thought. She realized she shouldn't deprive a child of a joyful childhood. “Mumu, how do you feel about that?” She also hoped to spend more time with both children.
“Mommy, actually, I don't feel tired at all going to many extracurricular classes with Ruo Ruo. I really like the classes you've signed me up for; they are all my interests. While attending classes, I feel like I'm already resting, so you don't need to worry about me not having a happy childhood,” Mumu seemed to see through what Lan Baobao was thinking, which surprised her.
In fact, many times she truly felt grateful for having these two children.
“Mumu, since that's the case, Mommy will let you decide. I just want to spend more time with you,” Lan Baobao looked at Mumu, smiling gently.
A woman nearby witnessed the scene and made a phone call.
"Be more realistic when you take action later; you don't need to worry about the rest." Lan Baobao, you are truly lucky to have encountered two men who treat you so well. Don't worry, you won't be carefree for too long.
In fact, Lan Baobao had been teaching Mumu and Ruo Ruo many things. This was the only way Lan Baobao could help Mumu at the moment. She encouraged Mumu to learn Go, piano, violin, chess, roller skating... in total ten activities, so that when Lan Baobao was not around or unable to care for An Mumu continuously, Mumu and Ruo Ruo could use these skills as a means of making a living.
At this time outside the restaurant, a middle-aged man was waiting for Lan Baobao and Mumu to come out.
Of course, the woman was unaware that there was another participant in this dinner, Li Xiaoran. Li Xiaoran had come over midway to join Lan Baobao and Mumu for dinner. That’s what friends do.
At this moment, Li Xiaoran was in the restroom feeling dizzy and unwell, so she quickly called her mother to pick her up. She also sent a message to Lan Baobao and Mumu: "Sorry, Lan Baobao, I just ran into a colleague and might not be able to take you home tonight. You can take a taxi back; I’ll visit you another time." Li Xiaoran just didn’t want Lan Baobao to see her in such a state; she didn’t want to make Lan Baobao feel guilty.
When Lan Baobao saw Li Xiaoran's message, she knew that if Li Xiaoran said something like that, it must be important. So she decided not to disturb her further and simply replied, "Okay." Then she planned to go shopping with Mumu and take a taxi home afterward.
"Mumu, Sister Xiaoran has something to do and can't go back with us. How about we take a taxi home later? Let's go shopping now." Lan Baobao smiled at Mumu since she saw that Mumu had finished dinner.
"Okay! Let's check out the nearby mall first. It’s nine o'clock now; we can head home by ten since it's very close." Mumu felt that she had eaten too much for dinner and was having trouble digesting it. According to a reasonable routine, Mumu should be lying in bed by now, but today was an exception. Mumu and Ruo Ruo usually had very regular schedules.
So many exceptions piled together could lead to unexpected outcomes.
The woman saw that Lan Baobao and An Mumu were getting ready to leave and knew it was time for her to prepare as well.
As Lan Baobao and Mumu walked ahead, the middle-aged man drove closely behind them without slowing down. Lan Baobao and Mumu did not notice that a car was following them.
"Mom, is Mumu going to school soon?" Mumu looked at Lan Baobao. He really looked very cute.
"What school does Mumu want to go to?" Lan Baobao actually knew that when her computer was at home, Mumu would also go online to look up information. No one taught him this; it was all discovered by Mumu himself.
The middle-aged man was still following behind Lan Baobao and Mumu. At that moment, Lan Baobao was holding Mumu's hand, trying to cross the entire street to the opposite Office Building.
Although it was already nine o'clock, the whole street was still very busy. At that moment, the middle-aged man had timed it just right to make his move against Lan Baobao and Mumu.
The car's headlights flashed, and no one knew what kind of accident would happen in the next second. It felt like a subconscious instinct; Lan Baobao quickly turned her head to look at a speeding car. Because of the bright headlights, no one could see who was inside the car.
But Lan Baobao knew that the situation was dangerous, so she forcefully pushed Mumu toward the side of the road. Mumu hadn't even reacted to what was happening when he found himself pushed onto the median in the middle of the road. He was still wondering why his mom did this, but when he saw the speeding car, he understood everything. However, it was already too late. "Mom!" Mumu's voice went unheard.
The middle-aged man did not stop and sped away. No one could clearly see what had just happened, and no one knew the license plate number of that man's car; everything happened so suddenly.
Mumu saw Lan Baobao lying there quietly and was completely stunned. A five-year-old child, if it were someone else, probably wouldn't know what to do now. But unlike other children who would cry and make a fuss, Mumu appeared more mature. When he turned around again, that car had already disappeared without a trace.
Mumu took out Lan Baobao's phone and quickly pressed the emergency number. Soon an ambulance arrived at the scene. The medical staff were astonished to find out that it was a five-year-old child who called for help.
"Uncle and Auntie, please, you must save my mom," Mumu said calmly, without a hint of crying, as if he were strongly suppressing deep sadness within.
"You have to save her no matter what." At that moment, a young woman suddenly stepped forward; she was clearly the same woman who had just been sitting in the restaurant on the phone.
All the medical staff present were moved by Mumu's determined gaze. At this point, all Mumu could do was pray. "Child, come with me; you need to stay with your mom. She really needs you right now," the woman said to Mumu. Mumu nodded firmly.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Lan Baobao was quickly pushed into the emergency room. The entire process felt incredibly long, and Mumu could no longer hold back her tears. The young woman looked at Mumu with a complex expression on her face.
At that moment, Mumu remembered she needed to call home to ask her father to come over. However, she couldn't find Lan Baobao's phone anywhere.
"Auntie, have you seen a handbag?" Mumu asked the woman.
"No, I haven't seen it. What's wrong? Do you need to call home?" the woman asked kindly.
"Yes, they don't know yet," Mumu replied, her eyes swollen from crying.
"That's okay. If you don't know the number, Auntie can take you home tomorrow, alright? For now, let's stay here with your mom," the woman said reassuringly.
"Okay, thank you for staying with me and my mom. She will be fine, right?" Mumu's cute yet pitiful demeanor truly moved everyone around her.
"Of course your mom will be fine," the woman smiled as she looked at Lan Baobao.
Then Mumu kept staring at the operating room.
Suddenly, Mumu remembered Li Xiaoran's phone number.
"Auntie, can I borrow your phone?" Mumu looked at the woman.
"Who do you want to call?" The woman was naturally prepared to meet anyone connected to Lan Baobao's life but wasn't fully ready yet; at least she wanted to know who it was.
"Good friend, I only remember her number." Mumu indeed only remembered Li Xiaoran's number.
"Okay, you call her." The woman sighed in relief.
"Sister Xiaoran, Mom is at Southern Hospital, hurry over." Mumu quickly dialed Li Xiaoran's number.
"Huh? How could this happen? I'm on my way." Li Xiaoran was extremely anxious.
On the way, Li Xiaoran called Gu Feng. For some reason, the first call she made was to Gu Feng.
Soon, Li Xiaoran arrived at Southern Hospital. The hospital felt particularly desolate at night.
"What’s going on?" Li Xiaoran rushed to Mumu's side.
"They're in emergency treatment; it's been an hour and a half already." Gu Feng spoke weakly. Gu Feng had arrived just before Li Xiaoran.
"How could this happen?" Li Xiaoran was incredibly nervous.
"Just wait. There's nothing we can do right now; we have to wait for the doctor to come out." The woman finally spoke.
