"Mummy will you sleep with me tonight.."
"No kiddo, mummy has to burn the night oil and do some research.."
Liu Duoduo gave Nuonuo a smile as she stood up.
"I can't even get a good bye kiss?"
"Ah! I almost forgot.."
"Mwah! A kiss from mummy and Mwah! Another from daddy.."
Liu Duoduo pinched his cheeks as he giggled.
"I love you mummy and i'll grow up to be a handsome and rich son and give mummy lots of roses..."
Liu Duoduo held Nuonuo's hand as she stroked his hair—"You already made mummy proud so go out and do your very best! Mummy will always be proud of you.."
The next morning Liu Duoduo received a call from Yang Xinran, she peeled the drawing pad off her face as she scrambled to pick up the ringing phone, she must have been so tired she fell asleep in the study.
"Xinran? Good morning.."
"Morning Duoduo, just wanted to remind you that Nuonuo would be auditioning today.."
