By the time Wan Qianqian reached the kindergarten, it was already three minutes late. From afar, she could see Xinyue Wan and Wan Xinyi standing at the entrance. Beside them was Koizumi Kinko, who was comforting them gently.
She ran to them and said breathlessly, "I'm sorry, Koizumi Sensei. I didn't expect the car to break down all of a sudden."
Koizumi Kinko smiled gently, "It's alright. It was just a few minutes. Just give me a call if you have any problems next time."
Wan Xinyi pouted, clearly unhappy, "I guess mom must have overslept and lost track of time."
"Your mom has the best sense of time. How is that possible?"
Xinyue Wan looked at the two bickering and changed the topic calmly, "Let's go to Seton Beach this weekend. Koizumi Sensei said that it's fun there. We haven't been out for a long time."
She raised her head and looked at Koizumi Kinko, who hurriedly explained, "Head north from the town, past Mississippi, and then south to Seton Beach. It's about 50km. That's not too far."
Wan Qianqian calculated the time in her mind. It was so far!
Wan Xinyi tugged at her clothes, clearly elated, "Yes, yes! The beach that Koizumi Sensei mentioned today is super good! Let's go take a look! I want to go! I don't have any plans for the weekend anyway!"
"I went there a few days ago, and it was really nice. I suggest you bring more juice when you go. The things sold there are really expensive."
Knowing that her late arrival had upset the two little brats, Wan Qianqian could only agree to it as compensation. "Alright, we'll set off tomorrow morning. But you two can't laze around in bed. You have to wake up early."
"Hooray! Mom's the best! "
"Yes, I think that's a good idea too. It's going to be a shame if we don't go swimming yet."
Wan Qianqian was speechless.
Seeing how happy the two children were, she smiled as well. Just as she was about to say goodbye to Koizumi Imago, she realized that Koizumi Imago was staring at a certain spot.
Her expression was solemn, and there was an extra calmness and steadiness in her eyes that was usually not seen. She stared straight at the left and southeast direction.
Wan Qianqian followed her line of sight with a puzzled expression. There were people coming and going, vehicles picking up children, and a few small cars selling goods. The warm sunlight shone down, and someone's heart-shaped hydrogen balloon flew up into the sky.
She didn't find anything special, so she couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Koizumi? Miss Koizumi? What's the matter? "
After hearing her shout, Koizumi Kinko suddenly came to her senses. She lowered her head and smiled quietly. "Nothing, I was just absent-minded. I hope Miss Wan's family will be happy this weekend and not be late on Monday morning."
"Alright. Thank you, Mr. Koizumi, for recommending this beach. We will go and take a look. Goodbye!"
Wan Qianqian lowered her head to look at the two children. Xinyue Wan and Wan Xinyi extended their hands and waved goodbye to Koizumi Imago.
Before she left, she couldn't help but look back. Koizumi Imago, who had always been gentle and amiable, had become a stranger. She was calm and capable with a hint of viciousness. She had seen that look in her eyes many times in court. It was filled with murderous intent and despair.
On the way home, Xinyue Wan chattered about the things to bring tomorrow. Everything was so complete that Wan Qianqian almost thought that they were moving. Even so, Xinyue Wan added something from time to time.
She listened helplessly and didn't interrupt. She was more concerned about the sudden change in Koizumi Imago's gaze.
Xinyue Wan noticed that something was wrong with her. Thinking that it was about the beach trip tomorrow, she said, "If you really have something to do tomorrow, we don't have to go. We can find another time."
"Mom, do you have anything to do tomorrow?"
Wan Qianqian's heart skipped a beat. The two children were so sensible that they were a little different from their peers. She gently touched Wan Xinyi's head and said, "It's okay. I have nothing to do tomorrow. I can accompany you to the beach trip. We'll get everything ready tonight."
"Mom, you don't seem to be very happy on the way?"
She was slightly surprised by Xinyue Wan's observation skills. After thinking for a while, she didn't hide it. "That's because I found that Miss Koizumi seemed to be unhappy!"
Xinyue Wan's beautiful smiling face slightly frowned. She said in an experienced tone, "According to my observation, Miss Koizumi was not unhappy today. No one in the class offended her. She even told us about the tourist attractions. There was nothing unusual."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Xinyi raised her hand high as if she was asking for praise. "I know, I know. I sneaked out when I was taking a nap today. I saw Miss Koizumi losing her temper in the PE classroom. It was so scary. I was scared and ran out quickly."
She looked at the person in front of her with her big eyes. "Brother, what's wrong with your face? Why are you treating me like this? "
Before she could figure out what Xinyue Wan meant by winking at her, Wan Xinyi felt the low pressure from above her head. It was as terrible as a pressure cooker!
"Wan Xinyi! Why didn't you give me a good nap? Why did you run around? Don't say anymore, I'm canceling your dessert tonight! "
"Ah! Mom, I was wrong. I won't do it again. I want to eat strawberry cake. "
Wan Qianqian lowered her head and looked at the little girl who was hugging her thigh. She said firmly, "There's no room for negotiation. Don't do this. How many times have I told you to obey the rules? Even if you don't want to sleep, you should lie down obediently. Don't run around!"
"Sob sob sob! Mom, I won't do it again. "
Xinyue Wan spread out her hands gloatingly. "You can count on daddy for your strawberry cake."
Just when Wan Xinyi's eyes were filled with hope, Wan Qianqian poured cold water on her. "Your father flew back to China this morning. He won't come back until the night after tomorrow. He won't even attend our family activities."
Hearing that, the little girl continued to ask pitifully, "If daddy doesn't come back, can my strawberry cake come back?"
"No! Also, if I catch you causing trouble in school in the future, your cake will disappear just like Dad! "
Just like that, Wan Xinyi and Wan Qianqian, who had been struggling with the strawberry cake all the way, finally arrived at the door.
From this, it could be seen that Gu Tanfeng's status was not comparable to a piece of cake.
When they arrived at the door, Wan Xinyi, who had expected no strawberry cake, saw her good friend. Instantly, she was full of energy. "Susan, why are you here?"
Su Shan's face was red, and her hair was tied into two pigtails. She stole a glance at the calm Wan Xinyue and said, "Auntie, there's no one at home. Can I come here to do my homework? I promise I won't make trouble. "
Wan Qianqian was already used to Susan's absence. When she opened the door and invited her in, she said gently, "It's okay. Susan can come anytime in the future. Stay for dinner tonight."
She glanced at the lively Wan Xinyi and said deliberately, "I'll give you strawberry cake tonight."
In an instant, Wan Xinyi was like a frosted eggplant. She looked at Wan Qianqian with resentment.
Holding the bag with both hands, Susan gathered her courage and asked again, "Can I still come tomorrow?"
"You might not be able to come tomorrow, because our family is going to the beach."
"The beach?!"
Xinyue Wan glanced at her sister and explained, "Yes, the Seton Beach in the south of Mississippi. Mommy will take us there."
Susan was obviously more excited than Wan Qianqian's family. Her eyes looked like they were about to cry, and the yearning and expectation in her pupils were about to jump out. She stared at Wan Qianqian without any distracting thoughts. In the end, she felt a little embarrassed and asked tentatively, "Um, Susan, do you want to go with us?"
Hearing this, Susan jumped up like a rabbit and said cheerfully, "Thank you, auntie. I'll go home and pack now."
Wait, didn't you just say that there was no one at home?!
Xinyue Wan raised her eyebrows and looked at her. "Mommy, are you really going to take Susan with you?"
"Susan is my good friend. What's wrong with taking her out? Why are you so stingy!"
Wan Qianqian rubbed Wan Xinyi's fluffy head and imitated her tone. "That's right, why are you so stingy!"
"… Fine, I'm stingy."
At night, the stars hung high in the sky, and the surroundings were quiet.
The small town in Kangaroo Country could not be compared to a big city. It was late at night, and the streets were deathly quiet. Koizumi Kinko's footsteps echoed through the entire alley. The only thing louder than her footsteps was her heavy breathing. She grabbed the bag in her hand and walked faster and faster.
It looked as if he was in a panic. As he walked, he suddenly turned into another alley, and then another. The route he took was very complicated.
Koizumi Kinko didn't know how many times she walked around the small town. She leaned against the wall and listened to the sounds behind her. Feeling that she had shaken off those people, she slowly relaxed and turned into the main street of the small town, heading to her apartment.
After waiting for her to go upstairs and enter the door, the lights in the room were turned on. Several men in black walked out of the surrounding forest and looked up at her room. One of them memorized the address and was about to leave, but another reached out to stop him and gestured to the room again.
The man turned around and saw Koizumi Kinko walking around under the light. Her hands were busy, and she seemed to be packing something.
The two of them looked at each other, and one of them took out his phone and dialed a number. "She discovered us, and she kept taking detours throughout the night. We followed her to her apartment, but it looks like she's packing her things. I'm reporting to you, please advise us on our next move."
The other side of the phone was silent for a long time before he said, "Operation begins!
