One of the principles that Zheng Pianqian communicates with Zhou Yi now is: never say a word of nonsense.
For example, in the situation just now, Zhou Yi said that he would go together, but he was not actually discussing it with her. Even if she didn't agree, Zhou Yi would still get involved through Sansan's relationship.
If she knew the result, communication wouldn't make much sense - besides, she didn't want to give Zhou Yi too many looks.
Zhou Yi has not pestered her as before recently, and his attitude at work is quite professional, but Zheng Pianqian's trust in him is only that much, and if he doesn't keep it, he will take advantage of her one day, so the best way is to treat her coldly.
As soon as Zheng Pianying put down her phone, Sansan returned to the living room.
As soon as she walked in, she opened her arms and hugged Zheng Pianying, and said with a smile: "Mom, you finally finished taking a bath. I miss you."
Zheng Pianqian raised her lips and smiled after hearing Sansan's voice. She gently rubbed Sansan's hair, pulled her to bed together, and read storybooks with her.
During this period of time, Zheng Pianqian's biggest gain should be that she became more determined - she had worried countless times before that Zhou Yi's appearance would "replace" her position in Sansan's heart, but after a few months, she worried that Things didn't happen, and Sansan relied on her even more than before. Especially after her studio gradually got on track, Sansan would look at her with admiration.
This sense of satisfaction and security was something she had never experienced before in her life.
With the increase in her sense of security, Zheng Pianying rarely worries about gains and losses. Even when Sansan praises Zhou Yi in front of her, she can deal with it calmly, and sometimes even make some objective comments.
For example, when Sansan learned that Zhou Yi planned the exhibition, he praised Zhou Yi as "so awesome", and Zheng Pianqing also followed suit.
After reading the bedtime story, Sansan asked about Zheng Pianqing’s next exhibition.
Zheng Pianqing told Sansan about her plans to go to LA to carry out the business, and then chatted with her about her birthday: "What birthday gift do you want?"
Sansan: “Can I have anything I want?”
Zheng Pianqing: "Yeah."
Sansan: "I want to go to Beicheng."
She took Zheng Pianqing's arm, blinked her eyes, and said expectantly: "Uncle Zhou said it will snow in Beicheng after Christmas. I want to go see the snow, eat hot-boiled pork and sweet glutinous rice."
Zheng Pianqing: "...That one is candied haws."
Sansan: "Well, it looks red and shiny anyway. I really want to eat it!"
Zheng Pianqing: "..."
The fact that Sansan cares about Beicheng so much is all thanks to Zhou Yi. He must have been whispering in Sansan's ears during this period.
"Mom, is it okay?" Sansan pursed her lips and acted coquettishly, "I really want to go."
This is actually not an unreasonable request. It is normal for children to be curious about cities they have never been to.
"Okay." Zheng Pianqing finally agreed to Sansan's request, "I will take you there after the exhibition is over."
"Yeah, I love you!" Sansan hugged Zheng Pianqing, came close to her face and kissed her.
Zheng Pianqing showed a helpless smile, rubbed her hair and asked, "Is there any other gift you want?"
Sansan thought about it for a long time but didn't expect it, so she had to say: "I'll make a choice after I go to Beicheng~"
There will definitely be many new things she has never seen before.

Early on the weekend, Zheng Pianying took Sansan to the welfare home.
Before going to the orphanage, Zheng Pianqian had already packed more than a dozen cartons of milk in the car to volunteer. She would definitely not go empty-handed.
Speaking of which, I learned this "experience" from Zhou Yi.
When I went to volunteer with him before, he would always bring milk and carefully selected extracurricular reading materials.
Zheng Pianqing didn't have time to choose extracurricular readings this time.
The orphanage was in the suburbs. When Zheng Pianqing arrived with Sansan, Zhou Yi was already waiting in front of the door.
He was wearing a blue sweatshirt and had a huge box at his feet.
As soon as Zheng Pianqing's car stopped, Zhou Yi walked to the back seat, opened the door, and unbuckled Sansan's seat belt.
Sansan jumped out of the car and couldn't wait to share with Zhou Yi: "Uncle Zhou, mom brought milk to the classmates here."
When Sansan said this, Zheng Pianqing just got out of the car. Zhou Yi looked at her with a smile, his eyes seemed to say: So you still remember this.
Of course, he only dared to express it with his eyes.
Zheng Pianqing understood what he meant, but she didn't respond and opened the trunk to unload the car.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi walked over immediately: "I'll do it."
Zheng Pianqing: "Oh, thank you."
Zhou Yi: "Give me your car keys. I'll take you in first, and I'll move these things later."
Zheng Pianqian also said "Oh", threw the key into Zhou Yi's hand, and then held Sansan's hand.
Zhou Yi led the way for their mother and daughter. This welfare home was a Catholic welfare home. The buildings inside were quite distinctive. For San San, this was a scenery she had never seen before, so she looked around all the way. .
After walking through a grassy field, they met teachers from the orphanage. One of the female teachers immediately recognized Zhou Yi: "Evan, long time no see. How is everything lately?"
Zhou Yi: "Yes, where are you and the children?"
He introduced the two people around him to the teacher: "This is my friend and her children. I took them to do a day of volunteer work today. They bought gifts for the children. How many people can I find to move with me?"
Upon hearing this, the teacher immediately went to greet Zheng Pianqian and Sansan enthusiastically. She is a very typical American, enthusiastic and outgoing, and her tone is particularly exaggerated when she blows rainbow farts. Zheng Pianqian can't cope with it. Fortunately, Sansan has exist.
The teacher quickly found someone to help Zhou Yi transport things, and then took Zheng Pianqing and Sansan to the activity area.
This weekend, there was a weekly performance in the welfare home. The children all formed a circle, and Zheng Pianqing and Sansan managed to get into it.
Before Zheng Pianqing brought Sansan here, she was a little worried that she would not be able to adapt to the atmosphere here. Unexpectedly, Sansan enjoyed it very much. Some children were unwilling to talk to her, but she didn't mind, and she "influenced" them with her enthusiasm.
When the teacher asked Sansan to perform in the middle circle, Sansan didn't have any stage fright - just at this time Zhou Yi came back, so she pulled Zhou Yi along and sang "Mary-had-a-little-lamb" together.
Zhou Yi didn't know where he conjured up the sheep's doll suit, but the size was a little inappropriate. He was too tall, so he could only put it on his upper body and head. With him making all kinds of funny and exaggerated expressions, a circle of children around him were Made him laugh out loud.
Even San San, who performed with him, laughed out loud several times and almost couldn't finish the song.
Zheng Pianqing was also amused by Zhou Yi's funny look.
He is really good at playing with children. It is normal for children of this age to like him.
Just as Zheng Pianqian was thinking this, Zhou Yi, wearing a sheep hood, came to her, singing and shaking his head.
