Well, the excuse hadn’t even been thought up yet when the son called, inviting her to go to S City. What great news!

If it weren’t already so late, she would’ve flown over there in the middle of the night.

The joy in her heart was completely unmasked by her words: "I have time, I definitely have time. I’ll head over first thing tomorrow morning."

She didn’t ask much, mainly because she forgot, why the other party called so late and actively invited her to S City. What for?

Lan Yiqing didn’t ask, and the other party didn’t want to explain much either.

Later on, Lin Mubai continued to instruct through the phone: "Mom, bring Jiayou over tomorrow! He’s surely eager to see Mom and little sister."

Initially, Lan Yiqing wondered if it was bad for the child to skip school. Then she reconsidered, thinking her grandson is so smart that an occasional miss wouldn’t hurt, so she decisively agreed: "Alright, no problem, Jiayou will be brought to you for sure tomorrow."

"Okay, thanks, Mom."

"Fool, why be so polite with Mom? Also, a divorce isn’t such a big deal; if the feelings are still there, go and win her back. After all, you didn’t exactly marry her through honorable means. If I were the woman, I’d divorce you too if I got the chance."

Lin Mubai listened to the earlier part, feeling it was normal and comforting, as she truly understood him, being his mother. But the latter part grew increasingly strange.

"Mom, what are you saying!"

"Haha, never mind, never mind, you should get some rest!"

"I’ll have someone book the tickets for you and Jiayou."

Lan Yiqing quickly rejected: "No need, if I were coming alone, it wouldn’t matter how early. But it’s different with the child; Jiayou is tired from school, let him rest more tomorrow morning. We haven’t told him about his mom already having a little sister. I need to find a good opportunity to let him know the truth clearly, otherwise, it might be a scare rather than a surprise."

This consideration is normal, although he is quite doubtful about the phrase ’Jiayou is tired from school.’

That little guy is a genius, with outstanding intelligence and learning ability. To him, those simple books are likely very easy, so he genuinely dismisses the idea of school being hard.

But knowing these facts himself is enough; pointing them out serves no real purpose.

Finally, he gave one more instruction and hung up the call.

"Mom, take care on the road tomorrow."

"Okay, don’t worry!"

"Yeah, I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up at the airport."

After hanging up, Lin Mubai turned around to see someone behind him, watching with an enigmatic look. He hesitated slightly before stepping forward: "Why are you up?"

Though he always knew this person was in good health, considering they had donated so much blood at once, resting well was crucial.

In the face of Lin Mubai’s disapproval, the other party smiled, the corners of their mouth slightly raised, with an expression of puzzling radiance in their eyes: "Heard about your divorce, huh?"
