The 99th Divorce

Su Qianci suddenly felt a little uneasy when she heard what Li Mosen said and saw the look of pleasant surprise that was written all over his face as he fondled the figurine’s box lovingly, hardly bearing to put it down.

Looking at Li Mosen, Su Qianci walked over and asked, “What TV show is this character from?”

“It’s not from a TV show. It’s an anime character, and I like it very much!” Li Mosen said as he sat down on the sofa and unwrapped the package.

“You read comics usually?”

“Yup, yup. My classmates have a lot of comic books, and we often read them together.”

“Your school allows you to bring comic books?” Su Qianci asked in a seemingly casual manner.

Li Mosen stopped unwrapping the package for a moment and lowered his head guiltily as he replied, “No.”

“So you guys secretly bring them to school to read?” Su Qianci pinched his tiny face as if she were faulting him for this.

Li Mosen lowered his head and said, “Yeah… We only read them after school. We don’t do it during lesson time.”

When Su Qianci saw his behavior, she chuckled helplessly and said, “I’m not scolding you. I often did such a thing when I was in school.”

Li Mosen didn’t expect to hear this. He snapped his head up and blinked his eyes as he asked, “Mummy, you did this too?”

“Everyone does. Everyone has their own way of thinking, and it’s impossible for someone to be completely obedient all the time. As long as it doesn’t affect your learning, it’s all right to take an appropriate amount of time to relax and enjoy yourself.” Su Qianci spoke softly and gently as she tapped Li Mosen’s nose. “But make sure that your teacher doesn’t find out about it.”

When Li Mosen heard this, he became completely relaxed, and he replied, “The teacher knows, but she said the same thing and allowed us to read them secretly. She said it’s fine as long as we don’t affect our classmates.”

“Your teacher is pretty open-minded.”

“Yup, yup. Our teacher likes me a lot, and she often explains difficult problems to me. I often look for her after class along with the classmates who sit at the same table as me.”

Su Qianci pursed her lips and rubbed his tiny head as she said, “But it’s not very nice for you to read your classmates’ comic books all the time. Next time, you should let Daddy and Mummy know what comic books you want, and we’ll buy them for you. You can also tell Mummy if there’s any figurines that you want. Daddy and Mummy will try our best to satisfy you.”

Li Mosen’s eyes widened. A radiant smile was written all over his fair, tiny face. His azure blue eyes looked like two beautiful tanzanite stones, which shone as he looked at Su Qianci, and he nodded his head violently. “Okay! Thank you, Mummy!” He even hugged Su Qianci’s neck happily and gave her a peck. “Mummy, Mosen loves you.”

A genuine smile finally formed on Su Qianci’s face, and she, too, kissed him on the cheek and said softly, “Mummy loves you, too. You’ll always be my little darling.”

Li Jianyue was in the middle of stacking up her Legos when she saw their interaction. She stood up and dashed over, screaming, “Mummy, Eersu loves you too. I want a kiss too!”

The little brat quickly ran up to Su Qianci and planted a kiss on her face before saying, “Mummy, it’s your turn to kiss me now.”

Su Qianci smiled in spite of herself and kissed Li Jianyue on the cheek a few times. Li Jianyue smiled happily and sat down beside Li Mosen and said, “Brother Mosen, what is Cat Strength Man?”

When Li Mosen heard Li Jianyue’s question, the smile on his face diminished slightly, and he corrected her and said, “It’s not Cat Strength Man. It’s Powerman!”

“What is Powerman?”

“Powerman is a great hero. A super-duper great hero. I’ll tell you his story…”

Su Qianci’s heart eased when the two children began to talk about the story.
