At the Apartment

Li An’an was in a huff. Why was she so unlucky? Auntie Zhang was injured, and she had to take care of Chu Yichen’s meals from now on.

How infuriating!

“Mommy, the kindergarten is filming a promotional video tomorrow. The teacher said that I have to wear a suit.” He was very confident about the filming tomorrow because he liked to play the piano and was talented. Mommy would be proud of him.

“You’re awesome, Darling! Let’s go buy it now!”

Li An’an happily brought the three children out. Tomorrow would be Junjun’s first appearance on camera. As his Mommy, she had to make sure he was well prepared.

“Mommy, there will be a competition between the children from a few different kindergartens. The winner will be decided by voting.”

Junjun conveyed the teacher’s words to his Mommy. The teacher said that he could mobilize his family and friends to vote, but he only had Mommy and God-daddy. God-daddy was overseas, so he hoped that Mommy would vote for him, even if it was just one vote.

“Okay, Mommy will definitely vote for you. My baby is surely the best.”

With his mother’s encouragement, Li Junjun felt full of confidence.

“Ma’am, your son is so handsome. This suit is simply tailor-made for him. It suits him so well. Will this one do?”

The shop assistant enthusiastically recommended.

Li An’an looked at Junjun’s black English suit, white shirt, and black bow tie. She was very satisfied.

At such a young age, her son stood up straight and looked imposing, yet adorable.

His facial features and temperament made so many other mommies jealous of her.

“Brother, you’re so handsome.”

Li Jùnjùn was very envious. However, he knew that Mommy didn’t have much money and could only buy this for his brother, so he didn’t ask for new clothes.

Li Baobao nodded vigorously, looking adorable herself.

“Brother is the most handsome.”

She gave him a thumbs up. Her brother was the best looking and most handsome kid in kindergarten.

She was very proud that such a handsome boy was her brother.

“Yes, this suit is perfect. Everyone will definitely love his performance if he’s wearing this.” The shop assistant was extremely enthusiastic.

Li An’an nodded. “All right, this will do.”

“Okay. Will it be card or cash? It’s exactly 10,000 yuan, but since your son is so cute, we can give you a 2% discount. That’ll be 200 yuan off.”

Li An’an froze. She had only wanted to buy a good outfit for her son. She didn’t expect it to be so expensive! Was this daylight robbery?

“That… that’s so pricey!”

She had thought that this was just a slightly high-end shop, but she did not expect it to be so expensive. It was beyond her budget.

“Ma’am, you can think of this as an investment for your son. You shouldn’t begrudge this little investment when it comes to your child, right? This way, he will be confident. If other children dress in expensive clothes and his suit looks cheap, it will affect his self-esteem and make him feel inferior. Don’t you think so?” Seeing that she had changed her mind, the shop assistant’s face stiffened.

Li An’an’s heart tightened. It was her fault for not being able to provide the best for her son. So now, even if she had to grit her teeth, she couldn’t let her son be looked down upon.

She was about to say she would buy it.

Junjun suddenly spoke.

“Mommy, I don’t like this color.”

Li An’an squatted down in front of her son.

“Junjun, this suit looks perfect on you. Mommy will buy it for you.”

She smiled, knowing that her son was worried about money. But it didn’t matter. She just had to work harder. She couldn’t let her son be mocked the first time he appeared on camera.

Junjun kept a straight face. Although he was still very young, he was already very opinionated and mature.

“There’s no need, Mommy. I don’t like it. I like the one from the other shop.”

Junjun changed out of the suit and handed it to the shop assistant. After thanking her, he took Li An’an and his siblings’ hands and left the shop.
