"Are you taking Meimei out?" Su Yiru was taken aback by how readily Ye Mingmei agreed.

"You told me to go out for a walk. I’m following your advice and heading out now." Ye Mingmei smiled faintly, walked over to the carpet, picked up Meimei, who was playing with a puzzle, and went to their room to change her clothes.

Staying home listening to Su Yiru’s nagging was less appealing than taking her daughter out.

It seemed like it had been a long time since she last picked out clothes for Meimei; it was always Su Yiru who did the shopping.

Reflecting on this, she realized she hadn’t been a very responsible mother.

It had been three years without any news from Yu Xiuzhun, and she couldn’t live clinging to false hopes any longer. She needed to learn to care for those around her, especially her always well-behaved Meimei.

"Mom, where are we going?"

When Ye Mingmei picked up Meimei, she was holding two puzzle pieces, unsure where to place them. Suddenly being carried into her mother’s arms, her doll-like face was filled with confusion, staring blankly at Ye Mingmei, wondering why her mother was holding her.

Her big, lovely eyes blinked while her small mouth pouted.

"Sorry, I forgot to ask you. How about we go out shopping now?" Ye Mingmei quickly put her down and lovingly touched her delicate little face as she asked.

"Are we going to buy pretty dresses for Meimei?" The little girl tilted her head to ask, looking adorable and mischievous.

Thinking about getting a pretty dress, her large eyes sparkled instantly!

Seeing how happy she was, Ye Mingmei couldn’t help but chuckle, "Yes, we are going to buy pretty dresses. You can show them to Tingye and Jiang Nan when you go to school."

Unexpectedly, Meimei pouted, "Only Tingye! Jiang Nan is the worst, always using chocolates to trick little girls into kissing him, shame on him!"

"Pfft—" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Ye Mingmei almost choked, staring with disbelief at the very serious Meimei criticizing Jiang Nan. It took her a few seconds to realize she hadn’t imagined it.

Jiang Jinchen’s genes were undoubtedly too strong; Jiang Nan was already adept at charming girls in kindergarten, definitely outdoing his father!

If Ning Yanan knew, she would probably be furious!

"Miss, the car is ready."

The butler quickly entered, respectfully reminding her.

Seeing the arrangements, Su Yiru immediately stood up from the sofa, afraid Ye Mingmei was merely being perfunctory.

Ye Mingmei picked Meimei up, "Say goodbye to Grandma, we’re off shopping."

"Goodbye, Grandma!"

Meimei smiled and waved her little hand, tossing two flying kisses to Su Yiru, making her beam with joy, and then followed Ye Mingmei out of the Ye Family home.

During the journey, Meimei curled up obediently in Ye Mingmei’s arms, telling her about kindergarten.

The car stopped outside the mall, and the little girl had already fallen asleep in Ye Mingmei’s arms.

"Find a convenient spot to park, let’s go to the café for a while first, and then wait for her to wake up." Ye Mingmei carried her sweetly sleeping daughter into the mall’s café.

She let Meimei sleep against her, sipping her coffee leisurely.

Time slipped away unnoticed. Ye Mingmei held the coffee cup, gazing down at her sleeping daughter in her arms. Sunlight streamed through the window, bathing her in a radiant glow, ethereal and resplendent—truly breathtaking!
