The leopard was indignant; it was the first to notice Mengmeng was in a bad mood and get the details out of her. On the other hand, Little White, who was with Mengmeng every day, hadn't noticed it first.

"If she dares to bully Mengmeng, I'll bite her!" The leopard bared its fangs at Xiaobai.

"It's just an empty shell!" Xiaobai scoffed, then turned to Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, will the leopard be living with us from now on?"

"Yes!" Mengmeng's voice was filled with joy. "That way, Leopard won't get kicked out of the Gu family!"

Not always.

Little White watched as Mengmeng played with the ball and the leopard, then silently slipped behind them and left the room.

The corridor was quiet, and Xiaobai went straight to Tiantian's room.

When it reached the door, it scratched at it with its paws.

"My sweet baby~" Ruolan lay on her side on the bed, hugging Tiantian with one arm and gently patting Tiantian's chest with the other.

Xiaobai saw this scene from the doorway and felt indignant on Mengmeng's behalf.

Humph, no conscience!

Xiao Bai turned her head and bumped into Xiao Hei, who was coming out of the room.

The cat and the fox exchanged a glance and walked toward each other at the same time.

"Were you eavesdropping?"

Xiaobai ignored Xiaohei and continued walking towards Mengmeng's room.

In the brief moment it paused at the doorway, it clearly detected a sweet smell. It needed to figure it out quickly to prevent Mengmeng from getting hurt.

Upon reaching the door, Xiaobai turned back to look at Xiaohei, who had followed her. "What are you doing following me?"

“Just like you, I’m going to go take a look,” Xiao Hei said.

Like Xiaobai, after seeing the child Ruolan brought back, its feline intuition told it that something was amiss. So it decided to investigate and prevent Gu Shiche from getting hurt.

"You also feel that something's not right about her?" Little White asked, surprised that an animal would give it the same answer.

Xiao Hei nodded.

Although both were brought back from outside, Tian Tian didn't give Xiao Hei the same good feeling as Meng Meng.

"Looks like she really does have a problem," Xiaobai said, as she heard the sounds of Mengmeng and the leopard playing inside the room.

Mengmeng is so innocent; she is easily hurt by those with malicious intent.

Xiaobai was saved by Mengmeng back then, so it wants to stay by Mengmeng's side and protect her even more.

It opened the door and went into the room.

"Xiaobai, you're going out?" Mengmeng heard the voice and saw Xiaobai walking in from the doorway.

Little White didn't respond, but wriggled and nestled into Little White's arms. It was a tiny little bundle, taking up space in Mengmeng's embrace.

The leopard wanted to too, but it was too big. Forcing its way into Mengmeng's arms would easily hurt her.

It lay quietly in front of Mengmeng, watching her.

In the middle of the night, Mengmeng was sleeping in bed, with Xiaobai in her arms on her left and Huabao on the ground on her right.

The next morning, Tian Tian, ​​dressed like a princess, came downstairs with Ruolan.

Looking at Gu Shiyu at the dining table, Tian Tian felt a little afraid. He usually had a blank expression and seemed indifferent to everything, but when he really got down to business, he was more ruthless than anyone else.

"Mom, sister, you're up!" Mengmeng excitedly stood up from her chair and greeted them warmly. "Aunt Ping prepared steamed egg custard. Sister, would you like to try some? It's delicious."

What's so great about steamed egg custard? She's been with the Gu family for so long, yet her tastes are still so limited.

Ignoring Mengmeng, Tiantian said to Ruobai, "Mom, I want to eat the congee with preserved egg and lean pork that you cooked yesterday."

Century egg and lean pork congee is very troublesome to make. If you make it now, it will take at least three hours before you can eat it.

“Okay, baby, if you want to eat it, Mommy will make it for you.” Ruolan immediately agreed.

Gu Shiyu put down his chopsticks and looked back at Tian Tian. "Next time, you can tell Aunt Ping what you want to eat. You don't have to wait until they've already made a whole table of breakfast before you tell them what you want to eat."

Ruolan had already gone into the kitchen to get busy, leaving Tiantian standing there awkwardly, unsure of how to respond.

Seeing her embarrassment, Mengmeng came to her side and took her hand, saying, "Sister, sit here."

Sweetie vented all her frustration with Gu Shiyu on Mengmeng.

She forcefully flung her arm away and arrogantly walked to the center of the table. She pulled out a chair and plopped down on it.

Gu Yinshen came downstairs and saw that the seat that belonged to the head of his family was occupied. He frowned and looked at Tian Tian in the chair.

Is this child really hers and Ruolan's?

No matter how you look at it, their demeanor and mindset don't seem to fit the Gu family's style.

His gaze fell on Ruolan, who was busy in the kitchen, and he let out a long, helpless sigh.

"Dad!" Mengmeng couldn't care less about her upset. When she saw Gu Yinshen walking over, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"My darling, how did you sleep last night?" Gu Yinshen walked over and picked Mengmeng up from the ground.

The leopard snores loudly at night, but thankfully, Mengmeng has a bright and clear mind, so she doesn't notice the noise.

Mengmeng affectionately hugged Gu Yinshen's neck, "Very good, where's Daddy?"

As she finished speaking, she noticed the dark circles under Gu Yinshen's eyes.

It seems that Dad didn't sleep well last night because of something.

After breakfast, she needs to prepare some herbal remedies for her father. Otherwise, he'll be very tired going to work.

Lost in thought, Mengmeng didn't realize until Gu Yinshen had carried her to the kitchen.

"Mengmeng, is there anything you want to eat? Mom will make it for you." Ruolan held a knife in her hand and was chopping up the whole, smooth preserved egg and putting it into the pot.

Gu Yinshen glanced at it and asked, "What does she want to eat?"

"I made congee with preserved egg and lean pork for our little one yesterday, and she thought it was delicious. Now she wants to eat it this morning too," Ruolan said with a happy smile.

"This congee with preserved egg and lean pork is so troublesome to make, let Aunt Ping do it." After Gu Yinshen finished speaking, he turned his head and called to Aunt Ping.

Upon hearing this, Ruolan immediately objected, "No need, I have nothing to do this morning, how could making congee with preserved egg and lean pork tire me out?"

Seeing that she was determined, Gu Yinshen gave up.

"Ruolan, I have something to do at the company later, so I can't stay home with you today."

"It's okay, we have our treasure here."

Ruolan's thoughts were all on Tiantian, so Gu Yinshen stopped talking and left the kitchen with Mengmeng in his arms.

Of the entire Gu family, only Ruolan currently puts Tiantian first. She got off the chair and walked towards Gu Yinshen, "Dad."

She looked up at Gu Yinshen with longing eyes.

"Hmm." Gu Yinshen responded calmly, walked past her and placed Mengmeng on a chair.

When he turned around, Tian Tian thought Gu Yinshen was going to come over and hug her, and waited expectantly.

She had already raised her hand, but Gu Yinshen pulled aside the seat next to Mengmeng and bent down to sit down.

"Shi Yu, will you be taking Mengmeng to school later?"
