After deciding to return to the capital, Bo Jingzhou immediately arranged for people to prepare a private plane to ensure the trip would go smoothly.

The day before, everyone started packing their luggage, and the four little ones seemed especially excited.

"Finally going home, this is great!"

"I miss my family's chef!"

"And our big house!"

"So happy! So happy~"

Erbao couldn't wait to tell Xiaotangguo the good news.

"Little Candy, we're going home, and we're going back on a big plane! Most importantly, we're not taking your daddy with us."

Upon hearing that Daddy wasn't included, Little Candy immediately retorted, her voice soft yet firm: "Daddy is included!"

Erbao frowned: "No way!"

Little Candy: "Take it!"

Erbao: "I'm not bringing it!"

Little Candy: "I'll take it!"

After a while, Erbao realized that he couldn't spoil Xiaotangguo anymore and had to teach her to "distinguish right from wrong".

So he put his hands on his hips and said seriously to Little Candy, "Little Candy, you have to make a choice now. Do you choose your annoying daddy, or your real daddy and mommy, and all four of us super nice brothers? You can only choose one!"

Little Candy was clearly stumped by this ultimate dilemma. She poked her chubby cheeks with her little fingers, making conflicted whimpering sounds, wanting both...

Erbao saw through her greed at a glance and immediately said, "No, children shouldn't be greedy, choose quickly!"

Pressed by her brother like that, Little Candy felt wronged and pouted, "Waaah... Daddy... I want to take Daddy... Waaah..."

Her crying immediately attracted Su Yutang's attention.

She came over, picked up Xiaotangguo, and comforted her. Then she said to Erbao, "Alright, don't make things difficult for your little sister. We'll talk about it when we get to the capital. Let's take her father with us first."

Since Mommy had spoken, it was like a royal decree. Little Candy's crying immediately subsided, turning into soft sobs.

Erbao pouted: "Okay..."

But in his heart he thought: Once we get to the capital, I'll make sure that scoundrel Xiao gets lost.

Trying to steal their candy? No way!

Over here, everyone was happily packing their luggage, but Wen Xiaoman sat alone on the sofa in the corner, quietly looking out the window without moving.

The observant Sanbao was the first to notice her unusual behavior. He ran over with his short legs, tilted his head up, and asked curiously, "Auntie Xiaoman, don't you need to pack your luggage? We're going home soon."

Wen Xiaoman snapped out of her daze, looked at Sanbao, forced a smile, reached out and ruffled his hair, and said softly, "Sanbao, be good. Aunt Xiaoman doesn't need to pack. I came empty-handed. There's nothing here that belongs to me."

Sanbao pursed her little lips: "Okay."

On the other side, Da Bao, Er Bao, and Si Bao also noticed Wen Xiaoman's depressed state.

Three little heads huddled together.

Sibao whispered, "What should we do if Aunt Xiaoman still looks unhappy?"

Erbao blinked his big eyes, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said in a low, mysterious voice, "I have a good idea."

Da Bao and Si Bao immediately looked over curiously: "What method?"

As a seasoned foodie, Erbao's solution naturally revolved around food: "When you're in a bad mood, of course you eat something sweet! Eating a sweet cake will make all your unhappiness fly away!"

Da Bao saw through his "selfish motives" at a glance and ruthlessly exposed them: "You just wanted to eat it yourself, didn't you?"

Erbao chuckled, licked his lips, and enthusiastically promoted, "Although I do really want to eat some... but let me tell you, that cake is absolutely delicious. Let's go eat it one more time before we leave, and bring Mommy, Aunt Xiaoman, and Little Candy... if everyone eats together, Aunt Xiaoman will definitely be happy."

Da Bao and Si Bao exchanged a glance, and finally nodded: "Okay..."

So the three little ones reached an agreement and immediately ran to pester Su Yutang and Wen Xiaoman, using all their charm and cuteness to persuade them. Finally, the group set off in a grand procession toward the dessert shop that Erbao had been longing for.

On the other side, Bo Jingzhou had already arranged everything and was about to notify everyone to head to the airport when he received a report from his subordinates that the main force had been taken to a dessert shop by Erbao.

Bo Jingzhou could only shake his head helplessly, then ordered in a deep voice, "Protect their safety. Also, notify the airport that the private plane is ready as usual. We... will wait until they finish eating before we depart."

Su Yutang and Wen Xiaoman brought several children to the city center and saw from afar that the dessert shop was bustling with customers. The transparent glass windows were full of seats, and there was even a small queue outside.

"Wow, so many people!" Sanbao exclaimed.

Seeing this, Su Yutang frowned slightly. She had never liked crowded places and was about to back out.

Erbao darted inside in a flash, and with his small and agile body, he weaved through the crowd and managed to snag a large table that had just been vacated and was big enough to accommodate them.

"Mommy, Aunt Xiaoman, come here quickly, over here!" Erbao stood by the table, waving his little arms excitedly.

Little Candy was held in her mother's arms, excitedly pointing with her little finger, wanting to go inside.

Seeing so many people coming from far and wide, Su Yutang thought to herself, "The taste must be good, I should go and try it."

After everyone sat down, Erbao immediately boasted, "This is the place! I wasn't lying to you, was I? The desserts here are not only super delicious, but even the names are unique!"

The group naturally noticed the shop's logo, which featured a wide variety of desserts.

“Manman?” Su Yutang raised an eyebrow and subconsciously looked at Wen Xiaoman beside her. “This name… is indeed quite unique.”

Everyone looked at Wen Xiaoman.

The dessert shop, which has taken root in North America, has a Chinese name and even uses the character "Man" from "Xiaoman" (a traditional Chinese name for the succulent plant), leading people to speculate whether the owner of the shop has some kind of relationship with her.

From the moment Wen Xiaoman stepped into the store, her attention was immediately drawn to the word "full".

For a fleeting moment, she was in a daze.

Images from long ago flashed through my mind.

At that time, she and Si Nian were still together. Because she liked sweets, Si Nian often accompanied her to find various dessert shops.

Once, he asked her, "What is your biggest dream?"

She was biting her spoon at the time, half-jokingly and half-seriously saying, "My biggest dream is to open my own dessert shop when I've earned enough money in the future."

Si Nian looked at her with gentle eyes and said, "Okay, we definitely can. In the future, we won't just open one store, we'll open many, many chain stores."

He reached out and pinched her cheek, then chuckled, "How about we name the shop after your nickname?"

Back then, he always liked to affectionately call her "Manman".

At the time, Wen Xiaoman thought it was just a fantasy and didn't really take it to heart.
