Chapter 1257 - 837: Grand Finale: She Came, What If She Can’t See Me? (Part 3)

She won’t come; it’s unreasonable for her to come, even though she promised Xiao Xiaoang.

Nowadays, people who keep their promises are few and far between. Adults often make promises jokingly among themselves, let alone promises between adults and children.

The clock on the wall shows four o’clock; the cakes made by parents and children are ready, and the best cake has been voted on by the principal, teachers, and the children.

Xiao Yan tried hard but couldn’t quite make it; the cake tasted alright, but its appearance was just average.

"Let’s pack it up to bring home. We can have it for breakfast tomorrow, okay?"

"Yeah, sure."

Xiao Xiaoang responded; he didn’t want to appear too disappointed.

"Xiao Ang, your mom still hasn’t come... don’t brag anymore!" The same boy from before was beside Xiao Ang, glancing at him as he spoke.

Xiao Xiaoang looked back, staring at him intently and saying forcefully, "She will come!"

Upon hearing this, several children and parents around them looked over at Xiao Xiaoang.

Earlier in the morning, Xiao Xiaoang had already said his mom would come, a novel detail among the kids. As parents arrived in the afternoon, the topic spread.

Most parents are polite enough not to discuss it directly in front of Xiao Yan and Xiao Xiaoang.

Now, with the event over and the time past four, it’s quite awkward whether Xiao Xiaoang’s mom comes or not.

If no one mentions it, it’s fine, or even if Xiao Yan and Xiao Xiaoang don’t respond, it’s fine, but then...

"You’re still bragging! You’re really annoying. If you don’t have a mom, then you don’t have a mom; why do you have to lie?"

The boy stood by his parents with his chin raised, as if to show off.

The boy’s words carried no kindness, but they were true since Xiao Xiaoang did lie.

Su Xiaomeng, whether she comes or not, is not Xiao Xiaoang’s mother.

Xiao Yan was protective and quickly said to the boy’s parents, "Whether or not he has a mom, isn’t it hurtful for your son to say such things? At such a young age, stepping on someone’s pain point?"

"Mr. Xiao, I don’t think my son said anything wrong. It’s not the child’s fault if there’s no mom, but at such a young age, I’m worried that my son might be negatively influenced by going to school with a child who lies and brags."

When it comes to being protective, all parents are the same; their own child is the best or, at least, they hope to be the best.

"Isn’t that going too far?"

Xiao Yan’s eyes flashed, usually gentle like jade, and a gentleman’s demeanor turned sharp at once, which was a bit intimidating.

The principal quickly noticed the situation and came over to mediate.

With much persuasion, both sets of parents finally calmed down.

Xiao Yan didn’t want to be too aggressive in front of so many people; Xiao Ang already faced discrimination and prejudice just for not having a mother. If he, as the father, came across as strong and unlikable...

"Sorry, I got a bit emotional. Xiao Ang didn’t actually lie. My fiancée and I are both surgeons; she promised Xiao Ang she’d come yesterday but couldn’t get away today because of a last-minute surgery, so she couldn’t fulfill her promise to Xiao Ang."

Xiao Yan explained kindly, and the boy’s parents were reasonable. Seeing Xiao Yan step back, they followed suit and backed down.

"You should have said so sooner, Mr. Xiao, to avoid such misunderstandings. We understand that you and your fiancée are life-saving doctors."

"Yes, hopefully you get married soon, Mr. Xiao, so little Xiao Ang can have a legitimate mother. Next time there’s a kindergarten event, we can meet Mrs. Xiao."

One person spoke, then another; the adult world often seems sickeningly hypocritical.

Xiao Yan nodded wryly, smoothing things out for both sides.

As the kindergarten parent-child activity ended, parents began taking their children home.

Xiao Yan packed up their cake and helped Xiao Xiaoang organize his backpack. He saw Xiao Xiaoang sitting outside the classroom, on the swing outside the activity area, legs swinging leisurely, but there was no expression on the little one’s face...
