Thanks to Ning Xingluo's hard work, she finally got a few more days of vacation, but in exchange, she had to attend the next variety show.

Less than a day after returning home, Ning Xingluo had to leave again.

Haohao didn't care about his dignity anymore, he hugged her thighs and cried: "Wuwuwuhiccup...Mom, please don't leave, okay?"

He was so sad that he cried so hard that he had the hiccups.

Ning Xingluo held the luggage with one hand and held the waistband of his pants with the other. What's wrong with this kid? Why does he like to pull other people's pants?

"Haohao, be good. Mom is going to work. How can I make money if I don't work? If I don't have money, I won't have food to eat and I'll starve to death."

Haohao was unmoved: "Can't Dad support Mom with the money he earns?"

Ning Xingluo: “…” How should she explain this? It’s a bit complicated.

Her silence was a bit misleading. Haohao hesitated for a moment, then said with a bit of pain: "Then...if it really doesn't work, I can also support mom."

He tried to stand on tiptoe to pull Ning Xingluo down, and whispered in Ning Xingluo's ear: "I put all my money in baby Qiqi's house."

"Take them all out for Mom, can you please not leave?" He blinked his big eyes, his red eye circles were filled with tears that could fall at any time.

This is not the end. Seeing Ning Xingluo's conflicted expression, Haohao sniffed and pressed on: "If you must go, can you take me with you?"

Uncle Pei couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

If it were in the past, Haohao would have rolled on the ground and would have been impossible to coax him for an hour or so. Who has ever seen this little bully look so pitiful?

Ning Xingluo suddenly understood those mothers who quit their jobs for their children.

Even she, a stepmother, can’t take it anymore!

But in the end, she still managed to resist Haohao's magic attack with difficulty: "Haohao, be good. Mommy is not going to play. I really can't take you this time, but I will video chat with you every day, okay?"

"Three days, Mom will be back in three days!" But on the day she comes back she has to fly to another city.

"Well, alright then," Haohao reluctantly let go of Ning Xingluo's wrinkled pants, "You must come back in three days, I'll be waiting for you!"

……

"Madam, let me say something. You don't have much ambition for career. Why do you work so hard? It's obvious that you enjoy lying at home the most." When sending Ning Xingluo out, the butler Uncle Pei suddenly said.

Ning Xingluo was stunned. He didn't expect Uncle Pei to be so accurate in judging people.

She couldn't tell the truth, so she could only say, "Uncle Pei, you still don't understand me."

Uncle Pei immediately bowed and apologized: "Sorry, I was rude."

Ning Xingluo quickly stopped him: "Hey, I don't blame you, I know you care about me too."

To ease the embarrassment, she even made a joke: "I still can't get used to you bending over all the time after so long. People who don't know you would think you are British."

Unexpectedly, Uncle Pei's eyes widened suddenly: "Madam is amazing, I am indeed British."

"what?"

"Madam, you probably don't know, but I am of Chinese and English descent, but you can't tell from my appearance. About twenty years ago, I worked in a castle in London, England."

"what??"

Ning Xingluo looked at Uncle Pei carefully. Uncle Pei was probably in his sixties this year, but he was in good health with a straight back.

His dressing style has always been British, but his face is a pure Asian face, and he doesn't have any accent.

Anyone who didn't know him would never have guessed he was British!

"At that time, due to some royal disputes, I became a scapegoat. It was the master who was only a few years old at the time who hired me and saved my life."

Ning Xingluo suddenly became interested when he heard this secret:

"How old is Pei Yuhan and he's already so amazing?"

"Haha, Madam, you can ask the master for the specific situation."

Ning Xingluo: "Okay. Uncle Pei, there is one more thing I have wanted to ask for a long time. Why do you call Yu Han "Master"? This title is really... unusual."

She asked tentatively: "Does it have anything to do with Yu Han's family? Does their family have very strict rules?"

Ning Xingluo imagined that anyone with this name must be a large family that had been passed down for hundreds of years, an old feudal family.

Otherwise, how can we explain that even after so many years since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, there is still such a strange name, and Pei Yuhan has never contacted his family.

She was busy imagining things, but Uncle Pei couldn't help laughing. After a lot of effort, he said, "Hahaha, Madam is really interesting.

These titles are my habits as the royal butler, and the master has gotten used to them."

He brought the British aristocratic style here. Pei Yuhan, who had lived with Uncle Pei since childhood, had already adapted to it and usually did not pay too much attention to these details.

Haohao is still young and doesn’t understand at all. Only Ning Xingluo, an ordinary citizen, feels particularly awkward.

"I always thought it was because the Pei family was some ancient noble family or something, but it turns out that's not the case?!"

"Haha, it's a long story about the master's family. I remember that the madam's plane seemed to take off at five o'clock?" Uncle Pei pointed to his watch elegantly.

Ning Xingluo almost jumped up: "Ah, yes, yes, I have to go. Goodbye Uncle Pei!"

……

The Pei family’s driver was very helpful. Ning Xingluo was not late despite being delayed for such a long time and got on the plane smoothly.

On the plane, Wu Congcong suddenly sighed: "Haohao is so pitiful, his parents are not around."

"Ah, I'm not talking about you, Xingluo. You've done a great job. I just think Haohao's father doesn't care about him at all. I heard that they only see each other once in a long time."

Wu Congcong has lived in the manor for such a long time, but has never seen the owner of the manor once.

Ning Xingluo was still thinking about what Uncle Pei had just accidentally revealed. When she heard Wu Congcong say this, she subconsciously spoke for Pei Yuhan:

"Haohao's dad... is quite busy, and it's not intentional. In fact, he cares about Haohao very much."

"No matter how busy you are, you can't ignore your children. Parents' company is much more important than money and material things."

“I didn’t ignore it.”

"Humph, Sister Xingluo is on your husband's side."

"No..." Ning Xingluo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

What Wu Congcong said made sense. Ning Xingluo thought about it and sent a message to Pei Yuhan, saying that she had not been at home much recently and asked him to spend more time with Haohao as much as possible.

Ning Xingluo herself didn't realize that she no longer had the mentality of staying out of the matter as she did in the past.

Before she knew it, she had begun to think and act like a member of this family.

------------------

The outdoor variety show that suddenly invited Ning Xingluo is called "Survival Challenge".

In addition to several resident wilderness survival experts, each episode will invite different guests to take on a two-day survival challenge in the wilderness.

This program has been running for several years. It is not very difficult, but it is very popular. This is why Ye Xirong readily agreed to the invitation.

Ning Xingluo also came with a relatively relaxed attitude.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, Ning Xingluo saw someone he didn't want to see - Tian Peiruo.

When he turned around, he saw another person he didn't want to see even more - Lu Qiuyan.

Depend on!

Ning Xingluo almost burst into swearing. What a good program Ye Xirong picked!
