Chapter 2 Ow, it hurts

Six years later, Jin City train station.

Tang Nuanning, accompanied by her three sons, immediately attracted a lot of attention as soon as they left the train station.

Dressed simply and comfortably without makeup, the mother was incredibly beautiful, making it hard for anyone to take their eyes off her every frown and smile.

The children were adorably cute, with their big, dewy eyes peeking out from their masks and long eyelashes blinking, directly endearing themselves to people's hearts.

Another "deceptive because of the children" situation!

Tang Nuanning paid no attention to the public gaze. She stood at the exit of the train station, contemplating her surroundings, familiar yet somewhat strange, filled with complex emotions.

Back then, Bo Yanchen's accusation of "not adhering to women's virtues" had put her in the eye of the storm.

A month later, she found out she was pregnant, which substantiated Bo Yanchen's claim, and the rumors nearly drowned her.

Her adoptive parents, who despised her for bringing shame and found her useless, severed ties with her and threw her out of their home.

She knew the child was from that stranger. She considered abortion but after much thought, could not bear to go through with it.

The child was her flesh and blood!

It was fate that the children had found her as their mother. No matter how hard it was, she was supposed to give birth and raise them.

Fearful that her reputation would affect the children's future, she left Jin City to live in the countryside.

It was truly hard for a pregnant woman to live alone. Finding a job was the most significant challenge, as many employers were hesitant to hire a pregnant woman.

But she had to work. She needed the money.

She needed to eat, to go to the hospital to give birth, and to prepare money for the children's formula and school...

Later, when she finally found a job in a restaurant, she was terrified of being laid-off, so she worked harder than anyone, never daring to take a day off.

Because of this, she suffered from malnutrition and extreme fatigue.

Ultimately, she fainted on the road while returning from work, nine months into her pregnancy.

Strangely, the next time she woke up, she and her children were in the deep mountains.

She still has no idea what exactly happened back then.

Who performed the cesarean section on her?

Who brought her and the children to the deep mountains?

And why did they bring her and her children to the mountains?

The person who rescued them claimed that it was by chance they found her and her children; feeling pity, they brought them back to their place.

That stay lasted five years!

During these five years, they had lived easily, happily, and blissfully, without a care in the world.

However, as the children grew day by day, she had to start considering their education and future living conditions.

The mountain was fine, but aside from their savior, there were no other people around. Once their savior was gone, only the children would be left…

The children struggled to come to this world. They couldn't just live a confused life; they deserved to see the bustling beauty of the human world.

Thus, after much thought, she bade farewell to their savior, and brought the children down from the mountain.

She had not wanted to come to Jin City. She hadn't forgotten what happened six years ago.

But who would have thought, when she went to register the children's residence, she unexpectedly discovered she was still in a married state.

She was baffled?!

She had clearly signed the divorce papers back then!

She couldn't comprehend the reasons behind it, yet the problems arose first; because she was in a married state, Bo Yanchen's name would automatically appear in the father's column if she wanted to register the children.

The Bo Family was influential, and Bo Yanchen, who didn't like her, would definitely not be pleased to suddenly be a father!

So before she could even register her children, she had to get a divorce first.

Her trip to Jin City this time was to divorce Bo Yanchen.

She bore no grievances toward Bo Yanchen.

Years ago, it was she who had wronged him first. His accusation of her not adhering to women's virtues wasn't unfounded.

If she were to blame anyone, it would be the stranger that night who took her innocence!

It's true what they say about men and their deceitful tongues.

Back then, that stranger had repeatedly promised to make her the happiest and most honored woman in the world. What happened?

Ha!

She was utterly ruined by him!

Thinking about all the grievances… she felt like killing him!

"Mommy, I need to pee." Little Third suddenly grabbed her clothes and spoke shyly.

Tang Nuanning's thoughts returned, and as she looked at the three children in front of her, her heart immediately warmed.

The events of the past had indeed messed up her life, but having these children made it all worthwhile!

Her three children were truly her pride!

Little Eldest was quite a gentleman—usually quiet, but with a strong sense of responsibility as the eldest brother. Both his emotional and cognitive intelligence were high, and his actions exuded leadership.

Little Second and Little Third were the complete opposite—lively and mischievous. Interest: fighting! Hobby: fighting! Dream: fighting! Ultimate dream: to fight the toughest battles and be unbeatable!

Little Third was just a little crybaby, inherently timid and not as intelligent as Little Eldest and Little Second, but he was a little charmer, extremely considerate, and even at such a young age, he could cook and cooked very deliciously at that.

And he had a natural flair for fashion—she was even using perfume that Little Third had mixed himself.

Give him a few fruit or a bouquet, and he could create a unique perfume unlike any other in the world.

There was no chemistry and hard labor involved, just a gentle fragrance of flowers and fruits, fresh and natural.

Moreover, Little Third also had a gift for design, effortlessly sketching designs for clothes and jewelry.

Tang Nuanning had thought more than once that whoever married her Little Third in the future would be incredibly fortunate.

Tang Nuanning smiled tenderly at Little Third,

"Alright, mommy will take you. Little Eldest, Little Second, do you two need to use the restroom?"

Tang Little Eldest and Tang Little Second simultaneously shook their heads, in unison, "No!"

"Then you two wait here for mommy and your brother, don't run around, I'll take Little Third to the restroom."

"Yes."

Tang Nuanning, holding Little Third's hand, walked towards the restroom. At the entrance of the restroom, she crouched down and instructed,

"Little Third, you go to the men's room, and mommy will go to the women's room. If you come out first, wait here for mommy."

"Mm-hmm." Little Third nodded obediently and scurried into the men's restroom with his little legs.

Tang Nuanning watched Little Third's retreating figure and smiled before turning towards the women's restroom.

Soon, Little Third emerged, and true to his word, stood patiently outside waiting for Tang Nuanning.

Suddenly, a group of black-suited bodyguards surrounded a glitzy woman walking towards them.

The woman wore large sunglasses and bright red lipstick, ranting loudly to the person next to her in an irritated manner,

"Never accept such minor scripts again, going to shoot in such remote places. It's so troublesome coming back, no flights, having to take the train! With my status, should I be taking the train? Look at the kind of people who take the train, each one poorer and ruder than the last, absolutely disgusting!"

Shen Jiaoyue raised her voice, causing everyone around to frown.

Her manager kept nodding and appeasing her while the bodyguards aggressively cleared the way,

"Move, move! Everyone, back off!"

Little Third, confused, didn't move quickly enough and was forcefully pushed aside.

He fell to the ground with a thump, hurting himself, tears welling up in his eyes, but he didn't dare make a sound.

"Who is this child? Get out of the way!" Shen Jiaoyue scolded coldly.

Little Third, frightened by the scene, sat on the ground clutching his mouth, tearfully and fearfully staring at Shen Jiaoyue, too scared to move.

Shen Jiaoyue frowned, reminded of a thorn in her heart upon seeing Little Third.

That thorn, as big as the boy in front of her.

She was so irritated she gritted her teeth,

"If I tell you to move, you should move! Don't you know it's wrong to block other's way?! How did your parents raise you? No manners or upbringing!"

After saying that, Shen Jiaoyue kicked Little Third harshly with the tip of her shoe and walked away in her high heels.

Little Third burst into loud cries,

"Mommy, brother, it hurts, wah wah wah…"

Tang Nuanning hadn't emerged from the restroom yet, but Little Eldest and Little Second, hearing the commotion, rushed over and quickly asked,

"What happened, Little Third? What's wrong?"

Seeing his brothers, Little Third cried even harder, his little shoulders heaving, and he could barely speak,

"That… that auntie kicked… kicked me… brother, it hurts… wah wah wah…"

The moment Tang Little Second heard this, he was furious—how dare someone bully his brother, did they think he was dead?!

"Brother, you look after Little Third, I'll go settle this!"

Tang Little Second said and dashed off, quickly disappearing into the crowd.
