Time slipped by, and before she knew it, it was already seven in the morning. Sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating every corner. Han Qiu could no longer calm down and think. She hurriedly stood up and began to tidy up the slightly messy room. However, surprisingly, despite the previous setbacks, the precious golden divine blood within her body had returned completely, without a single drop being lost. As a result, the snow-white bedding, which should have been stained by blood, was still as white as snow, without a trace of stain.

Just as she had finished tidying up her slightly disheveled clothes, a sharp and rapid knock on the door suddenly rang out. This sudden sound shattered the tranquil atmosphere in the room, like a flash of lightning piercing the darkness before dawn.

By then, Li Xilian had been busy in the kitchen, meticulously preparing a hearty breakfast. The table was filled with food for seven people. While the variety wasn't extensive, each item had been meticulously prepared by Li Xilian, resulting in highly nutritious, delicious food. The steaming rice porridge exuded a delicate aroma; the golden, crispy fried eggs resembled a rising sun; and the freshly baked bread was soft and delicious, mouth-watering.

Hearing a knock on the door, Han Qiu quickly walked over to it and gently pulled aside the curtain. When the door slowly opened and he saw the smiling Li Xilian standing outside, Han Qiu's heart suddenly surged with warmth, and the slight annoyance caused by some trivial matters dissipated in an instant.

"Come down for dinner," Li Xilian said softly, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze. Before she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards Ling Linyi's room, raising her hand and gently knocking on the door.

Han Qiu nodded obediently at the call, then followed Li Xilian towards the stairs with light steps. As she walked behind Li Xilian, her eyes inadvertently swept across her graceful back, and a sudden sense of familiarity surged in her heart. It seemed that she had seen this figure somewhere before, but Han Qiu didn't dwell on it too much at the moment. As long as the person in front of her was the familiar Lianlian, it was enough.

Soon, Li Xilian successfully woke Ling Linyi, and the others joined him in the dining room for breakfast. The table was filled with a variety of delicious food, emitting an alluring aroma. Meanwhile, Li Jin, who had just returned home, chose not to comfortably handle work matters at home. Instead, he quietly packed his belongings, as if he was about to go out.

"Sister, do you have something important to do outside?" Seeing Li Jin's actions, curious Han Qiu couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, there are indeed some matters I need to attend to personally." Li Jin nodded slightly, her face as calm as a lake, but her gently fluttering eyelashes betrayed a slight ripple in her heart. She casually extended her right hand and tugged at the corner of her clothes, as if this subtle movement could make her appear more calm and composed.

With that, Li Jin turned and walked away, Ning Changwei following closely behind. The two walked side by side, their figures gradually receding. Meanwhile, Li Jinxue and Yu Shuangxue also smiled, waved and greeted the children, and then walked out gracefully.

Meanwhile, Li Xilian glanced at the wall clock and thought to herself: I still have several important documents to review this morning. Turning to Ling Linyi beside her, she whispered, "Let's go. Let's go to the company together." Ling Linyi nodded silently, and they set off together.

Han Qiu stood there, watching them go. Though she felt a pang of reluctance, she also understood that it was inappropriate to follow them for too long. After a brief hesitation, she took a deep breath and decided to leave alone. Before leaving, she secretly made up her mind to investigate the progress of Siming and Yuanyin.

Elsewhere, Li Ruoyao stared helplessly at her special silver-white fox, her brow furrowed. Despite her meticulous care these past few days, she was surprised to find that the red spider lily on the fox's forehead remained as vibrant as ever, showing no sign of fading. This mysterious sight perplexed her, and at the same time, intensified her curiosity about the fox's origins.

This little fox is truly bizarre! No matter what food is presented to it, it shows no interest. Whether it's juicy chunks of meat or delicious fox-friendly feed, it ignores them all and refuses to touch them. Only occasionally, when it's in a good mood, will it reluctantly give its owner a little face and shove a few bites of vegetables into its mouth, but it only tastes briefly. As for foods rich in nutrients that can help it grow fat and strong, it won't even glance at them. As a result of this picky eating habit, this little fox has always grown thin and small, as if it will never grow up.

One day, Li Ruoyao sat at the dining table at home, looking at Bai Yu, a little fox, who showed no interest in food. She couldn't help but feel worried. "Bai Yu, please try to eat some of the eggs in the bowl next to you. They're delicious," Li Ruoyao said, gently reaching out and nudging the small bowl beneath Bai Yu, trying to get his attention. However, Bai Yu completely ignored Li Ruoyao's kindness and even turned his head away, tilting his fox head to the side. Then, he raised a small paw and mercilessly pushed the bowl away, his refusal to eat clear as day.

Seeing this, Li Ruoyao sighed helplessly. "They say foxes love chicken. Yesterday, I put so much effort into making five different dishes: braised chicken, cola chicken wings, chicken soup, Kung Pao chicken, and freshly fried chicken slices. I thought you'd be happy with it. Who knew today, when I switched to eggs, you still wouldn't like them..." Faced with such a picky little fox, Li Ruoyao was completely at her wit's end. She even began to wonder if she knew how to feed small animals at all. Even more perplexing was that this little fox refused to even use the designated pet food bowl. The beautiful bowl, which Li Ruoyao had carefully selected and purchased online, now lay alone in the basement, completely abandoned.

Li Ruoyao, for example, even bought a super cute pink den for her new fox. Not only is the den adorable on the outside, but it's also lined with thick, plush fur that feels incredibly warm and soft. Even more amazingly, it's self-cleaning, easily handling the fox's poop and pee, and automatically adjusts to the ideal temperature for the pet based on ambient conditions.

However, what was unexpected was that when this exquisite fox den appeared before his eyes, Bai Yu only glanced at it indifferently. Then, with a sudden swish of his enormous tail, he leaped like lightning, directly onto the large, minimalist gray-white bed in the bedroom. He quickly tucked himself into the quilt, his head tilted slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he fell asleep, as if the outside world had no concern for him!

And, surprisingly, as long as Bai Yi's natural sleep time hasn't arrived, no matter what's happening around her, she'll continue to sleep soundly. Li Ruoyao once arranged for intelligent monitoring to observe her, and found that Bai Yi's sleep time is exactly eight hours, accurate to the last minute or second.

What truly worried Li Ruoyao was Bai Yu's health. Since arriving at the house, the little fox hadn't even ventured past its designated den to relieve itself. This left Li Ruoyao with a profound mystery: where it went to the bathroom.

Is it because she hadn't eaten much that she couldn't go to the bathroom? Or is it because she didn't know where she went to the bathroom and didn't notice?

Li Ruoyao was very confused.
