Chapter 357: Movie date
The little bun’s breathing slowed, becoming rhythmic and steady, as sleep started to embrace him. The silence of the room enveloped him, broken only by the soft sounds of his own breathing.
As Xiaobao’s mind drifted between wakefulness and slumber, a faint smile formed on his lips. In his dreams, he could picture his Aunty Yan’s face, her tender presence beside him, fulfilling the promise that had been made. Even though she wasn’t physically there, her love and warmth lingered in his heart, providing comfort as he began to surrender to the peaceful embrace of sleep.
The room grew hushed, and the little guy’s breathing became even more tranquil. With each passing moment, the world around him faded away, replaced by a dreamscape of imagination and wonder.

The first rays of sunlight crept through the curtains, casting a gentle glow over the room as a new day dawned. The little bun stirred in his bed, his eyes fluttering open. However, instead of the usual wide-eyed excitement that accompanied mornings, a cloud of anger loomed over him. The memory of last night’s broken promise weighed heavily on his young heart.
As the little one sat up, his gaze fixed on the empty space next to his bed where Aunty Yan was supposed to be. The realization that she hadn’t fulfilled her promise washed over him, filling him with a mix of disappointment and resentment. He swung his legs over the edge of the bed, his small feet making a determined thud on the floor as he stood up, his expression hardened with resolve.
As he made his way into the kitchen, Aunty Yan was already there, preparing breakfast with a warm smile on her face. She noticed the little one’s presence and turned to greet him, her eyes sparkling with love and concern.
But Xiaobao, still nursing his anger, met her gaze with a frosty stare and turned away, deliberately giving her the cold shoulder.
Qin Yan’s heart sank as she recognized the hurt in his eyes. She knew she had broken her promise, and the consequences were now manifesting in the form of the little bun’s cold demeanor.
