"Mom, are you still blaming me?" Sweetie asked timidly, holding her water glass.

"No." Ruolan turned to look at Tiantian. The water glass in her hand was still steaming, and her fingers supporting the bottom of the glass were slightly red. Realizing that she shouldn't ignore her, Ruolan reached out and took the water glass from her.

Sweetie looked at it and said expectantly, "Mommy, it's not hot anymore, you can drink it now."

Ruolan picked up the water glass, tilted her head back, and took a few sips. Her throat moved up and down, and the water she drank went into her stomach.

She felt something was off, so she moved the glass forward and looked at the liquid inside.

"Mommy, do you want more?" Sweetie reached out to take the cup away.

Ruolan looked down at Tiantian and asked in surprise, "Did you pour water for me, baby?"

baby?

The medicine worked so quickly?

"From now on, Tian Tian will pour water for you whenever Mommy drinks." Tian Tian sensibly took the water cup from Ruolan's hand.

Ruolan saw her small figure carrying a cup towards the kitchen, struggling to wash the cup by stepping on a footstool because she wasn't tall enough.

She was so happy that she couldn't express it in words.

As Tian Tian watched the water in her cup being drained down the drain, her anxious heart followed the water down the drain.

"Baby, do you need Mommy's help?" Ruolan walked towards the kitchen.

Upon hearing the sound, Tian Tian immediately wiped the cup clean with a kitchen paper towel, then turned around and put it back on the dining table, mixing it with the other cups.

Ruolan picked up a tissue from the table with a pained expression and quickly wiped the water stains off Tiantian's body. "Sweetie, next time leave this kind of thing to Mommy. Don't get burned."

“I like helping my mom,” Sweetie said.

"It's such a blessing for Mom to have you as her daughter." Ruolan cupped Tian Tian's face and kissed her passionately.

The sound of a car came from outside the door. Ruolan felt something was wrong. She turned her head to look at the light shining in, instantly loosened her grip on Tiantian's face, and turned to run outside.

"Mom!" Sweetie called out, trying to get Ruolan's attention back.

But her words ultimately failed to stop Ruolan's desire to see Mengmeng.

Gu Yinshen got out of the car and saw that Ruolan was wearing only thin clothes. He immediately took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. "It's cold outside. Hurry up and go inside."

"Where's Mengmeng?" Ruolan pushed Gu Yinshen's arm away and anxiously looked into the car.

"Mom!" Mengmeng stepped out from the other side of the car.

Upon seeing her, Ruolan immediately pulled her into her arms, exclaiming, "My adorable girl, thank goodness, thank goodness you're back safe and sound!"

On the way back, Mengmeng learned from Gu Shiyu that Ruolan's mother was very worried because she hadn't come home.

If it weren't for her, no one would be in such a hurry, wasting a whole night and still not being able to rest at this hour.

She looked up from under her oversized coat, glanced around, and asked, "Where's Sister Tiantian? Is she angry?"

"Angry?" Ruolan asked, puzzled. "Why would you be angry with Mengmeng? She's just as worried about Mengmeng as everyone else. She'll be so happy to see you in a little while."

Will Sweetie really be happy?

Mengmeng asked with some doubt, "Really? Sweetie, you really won't be angry with Mengmeng?"

She bought the water, but then it rained, and she ran into Aunt Yumian. She was so anxious to let Uncle Ling see Aunt Yumian that she forgot about the water.

Mengmeng turned her head and saw Gu Shiyu behind her carrying her schoolbag. She quickly walked over and took it from him. "Mengmeng bought water and has been keeping it in her schoolbag."

Looking at the two bottles of mineral water, each about half the size of Mengmeng's arm, Gu Shiyu and Gu Yinshen were both puzzled.

"Mengmeng, why are there two bottles of mineral water in your backpack?"

"Yeah, this must be so heavy in my backpack."

Ruolan looked at the mineral water bottle in Mengmeng's hand, and the words Tiantian had said came to mind.

Is it really as simple as just asking her to buy water? Why is Mengmeng worried that she'll be angry? What exactly happened in between?

The questions were piling up in her mind, and she needed answers as soon as possible.

Inside the house, Mengmeng hid behind the shoe cabinet, listening to the conversation outside.

Taking out the bottled water at this point is clearly a way of telling everyone that she didn't come home all night because she asked to buy water.

This adorable girl looks innocent, but she's actually more cunning than you.

She turned to flee the scene, but unexpectedly bumped into Gu Shiche when she turned back. The little black dog he was holding saw Tian Tian and instantly became restless in his arms.

"Xiao Hei?" Gu Shiche stroked Xiao Hei's back, wondering why she had suddenly become uneasy.

Following Xiao Hei's gaze, he noticed that Xiao Hei was afraid of Tian Tian.

"Meow~" Little Black made a painful sound.

Sweetie frowned as she stared at Xiao Hei, then looked up at Gu Shiche's face and immediately smiled, "Second brother, have you been home all day?"

Hearing the conversation outside, Gu Shiche carried Xiao Hei and walked outside.

She brushed past him, Tian Tian looking at Gu Shiche who had already walked away with displeasure.

He just left?

Stomping her feet angrily, Tian Tian turned and walked outside unwillingly.

Ruolan has already taken the pill given to her by the immortal, and now she is number one in her heart. Those who look down on her and deliberately ignore her must be punished.

He stormed out in a huff, only to run into them as they were about to come in.

"Sister Sweetie!" Mengmeng called out happily, carrying two bottles of water as she laboriously walked over. "Sister Sweetie, would you like some more?"

We're already home, why would we need a sip of water?

With other people around, she reached out and took the water, then opened her arms and hugged Mengmeng tightly. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you go to buy water by yourself. But I was worried that my brother wouldn't be able to find us when he came."

Because her body was being held so tightly, Mengmeng felt a little short of breath.

"Sweet...Sister Sweetie..." Mengmeng's little hand gently landed on Sweetie's shoulder, "Mengmeng, Mengmeng is having some trouble breathing..."

"Let go!" Gu Shiyu pushed Tian Tian away and gently pulled Mengmeng into his arms, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"

"Oops~"

Sweetie sat on the ground in a disheveled state, looking at the Gu family members standing tall in front of her.

She had already prepared herself emotionally; she frowned, and tears instantly streamed down her face.

With her face flushed, Mengmeng looked anxiously at Tiantian on the ground, "Sister Tiantian, are you alright?"

"Shi Yu, how could you push your sister to the ground?" Ruolan helped Tian Tian up with heartache and scolded Gu Shi Yu.

Everyone saw what happened just now. If Gu Shiyu hadn't pushed Tian Tian away, Mengmeng would have been strangled to death.
