After a chubby wife with a child undergoes a remarkable transformation, her beauty becomes the talk

The two children are at a stage where they have strong learning abilities.

Hearing Gu's mother mention the unfamiliar term "divorce application," Shen Lu asked with curiosity.

"Mom, what is a divorce petition?"

Looking into the two children's innocent, wide eyes, Shen Lu sighed.

She didn't want to hurt her two children, but she understood that because of everything that had happened in the past, there was a high probability that she and Gu Xiao would divorce.

Two children can't live in a fairy tale forever; sooner or later they'll have to face reality. It's better to give them a psychological heads-up now.

"Divorce means the separation of the father and mother in a family."

The two children are too young to even understand what separation means.

"My parents live alone and we keep a certain distance from each other. We don't see each other unless it's absolutely necessary."

Shen Lu had explained it very clearly, and the two children, being quite clever, immediately understood what she meant.

Xiaoze and Xiaoyu stood there, their big eyes filled with tears.

"Wow... I don't want my dad and mom to be separated. I want to see my dad and mom every day."

Gu Xingze burst into tears with a loud "Aww".

Gu Xingze remained silent, his head bowed, tears streaming down his face.

Seeing the two little ones like this, Shen Lu felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

But he knew this was something that would happen in the future, and he couldn't change it, so he could only comfort the two little ones.

"It's okay, even if Dad and Mom are divorced, they can still come to see you often."

Gu Xingyu could no longer hold back and ran into Shen Lu's arms, hugging her tightly.

He doesn't want to!

My mother had just become a good mother, why did she have to leave?

Was everything Mom did in preparation for leaving?

Gu Xingyu was just a five-year-old boy, and he really didn't know what he could do to stop his parents from divorcing.

I kept agonizing over whether my behavior had displeased my mother, which was why they were considering divorce.

"Mom, I won't sleep with you anymore, and I won't let you tell me stories anymore. I can even go hungry and not eat, hiccup... Can you promise me you won't leave me?"

Gu Xingyu made a promise to her while sobbing.

Shen Lu could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face. She knelt down and hugged the two children in her arms.

The month or so she spent with her two children was more fulfilling than the decades she had lived in her previous life.

He experienced a complete childhood through his two children, and the emptiness in his heart was gradually filled by the love of family.

She was reluctant to leave her two children.

There must be other ways, whether it's not to get a divorce or to fight for custody of the two children, she's willing to try.

As long as she can keep her two children with her.

"Don't worry, Mom won't abandon you. We'll always be together from now on."

Shen Lu kissed each of the two children on the cheek and made a promise to them.

"Mom promises she won't leave you."

No matter what she did, she couldn't soothe the two children. Shen Lu went to great lengths, listing a bunch of principles, before finally stopping the two little ones from crying.

Shen Lu and the other person read the book first, while she opened the door to retrieve the divorce application form.

Gu's mother and the others had already left, leaving only a blank sheet of paper on the floor directly below.

Shen Lu picked up the white paper on the floor. The five big characters "Divorce Application Form" caught her eye. It seemed that her aunt and the others were right. They really had mailed it to him. It was likely that Gu's mother and the others had exaggerated their story to Gu Xiao about their actions.

It's no wonder Gu Xiao couldn't stand it; the way the original owner treated the child was unbearable for any real man.

Shen Lu put the divorce application in the study. She wasn't in a hurry to make a decision in the next couple of days, so she wanted to think it over carefully and wait for Gu Xiao to return before making a decision.

She wanted to discuss the details of the divorce with Gu Xiao face-to-face, especially the custody of their two children.

She doesn't want anything, she just wants custody of her two children.

The two children seemed to be frightened by Shen Lu's words, as they didn't eat their dinner properly and looked distracted.

Shen Lu thought she could make some desserts for the two children, as desserts can relieve psychological stress and might make them feel better.

The two children hadn't eaten much, and cake was the perfect treat for them.

She found flour, eggs, and milk.

After separating the egg yolks and whites, Shen Lu added granulated sugar to the egg whites and whipped them until stiff peaks formed. Then she added corn oil and milk until the mixture was fully emulsified. Finally, she added low-gluten flour and egg yolks.

Without a dedicated oven, I could only try baking a cake using a regular rice cooker.

Shen Lu wasn't sure if it would be successful, but as long as it made the two children happy, she was willing to give it a try.

While waiting for the cake to bake, Shen Lu used the remaining milk, cornstarch, granulated sugar, and butter to make cream.

I also cut some fruit for garnish.

Xiaoze and Xiaoyu were still in the bedroom, lying listlessly, preparing to go to sleep.

Suddenly, an unusually sweet aroma wafted into my nostrils.

Xiaoze and Xiaoyu looked at each other, wondering what this smell was. They had never smelled it before.

The little guy got out of bed with a puzzled look and followed the direction of the smell.

I found my mother busy in the kitchen.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing the voices of the two little ones, Shen Lu quickly called them over.

"The cake is just about to be unmolded, come over here. Let's witness together whether it will be a success."

cake?

What is that?

The two little ones approached with a puzzled look on their faces.

Shen Lu placed a plate in the pan, then suddenly flipped the pan upside down, revealing a complete cake base on the plate.

Shen Lu thought it wouldn't work, but the cake she made turned out to be a great success.

The sweet aroma of the cake instantly dispelled the gloom in Xiaoze and Xiaoyu's hearts. Their eyes were fixed on the cake, and they kept swallowing.

"Since you two are here, let's decorate the cake together."

Shen Lu took out the fruits, cream, and cakes she had prepared in advance. After they cooled, she brought her two children to decorate the cakes.

She spread cream evenly on the cake, and the children, one on each side, placed fruit on top of the cake under Shen Lu's direction.

This cleverly designed activity brought smiles to the faces of the two little ones.

Seeing their faces finally soften from anger, Shen Lu smiled from the bottom of her heart.

Afterwards, the mother and her two children tasted the finished product together.

Xiaoze and Xiaoyu had never tasted anything so delicious before. It was fragrant, sweet, and soft, making it hard to bear swallowing it.

Seeing the excited expressions on the two little ones' faces, Shen Lu knew that the cake had been a great success.

Unfortunately, I didn't have enough ingredients on hand, otherwise the taste could have been even better.
