The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

“Mom, when I’m in my room and lying in bed, I think about waking up in the woods. As soon as I close my eyes, I feel like I’ll be taken away silently again and abandoned in a desolate forest full of weeds and bushes.”

These words seemed to transport Ruolan into the terrifying scene Ruolan described, her expression filled with heartache for her. Ruolan held her hand, patting her shoulder, and repeatedly comforted her, saying, "The terrible things are over now, don't be afraid, Mom will always be by your side."

Mengmeng's arms tightened around him again.

Gu Yinshen always felt that there was an element of acting in her behavior, but she was indeed his child by blood. His disapproval, coupled with the bond of blood, prevented him from reprimanding Tian Tian's current actions without any reservations.

"Mengmeng, let's go back to the room." Gu Shiyu looked at Mengmeng, who was standing there looking helpless, and reached out to take her hand and walk forward.

After hesitating for a second, Mengmeng grabbed the figurine she got from McDonald's and followed Gu Shiyu up to the second floor.

Back in her room, Mengmeng looked at the empty space, carefully placed the figurine on the table, and began searching for Xiaobai.

"noob?"

She went into the bathroom inside the house, opened the door, and found it empty; Xiaobai was still nowhere to be seen.

Turning my head to look at the empty room again, even the leopard was no longer there.

Mengmeng called out worriedly, "Little White~ Leopard~ Where are you? I can't see you!"

After she called out, the room remained quiet; she was all alone.

Where did they go?

Mengmeng seemed to have an idea, and quickly ran to the balcony. She braced her hands on the balcony railing and looked down towards the back garden.

Sure enough, both the leopard and Little White were there.

"Little White, Leopard!" Mengmeng waved her hands from above, greeting the people below.

Below, Xiaobai lazily raised its head, glanced at Mengmeng on the balcony, and said to Huabaobao, "Let's go back to the room."

The leopard wiggled its plump rear end and followed Little White's steps, swaying from side to side.

Seeing them coming upstairs, Mengmeng happily returned to her room, took the figurines she had obtained from the table to the bed, and neatly arranged them on it.

Downstairs living room.

"Mommy, I want the figurine that Mengmeng just got too." After her mood improved, Tian Tian looked up at Ruolan greedily and said.

Ruolan listened and hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then Mom will take you to the store to buy it tomorrow."

"Can I play with the cute one first?" Sweetie asked.

Seeing the longing in her eyes, Ruolan frowned. "Mengmeng was a gift from someone else. Whether she'll let you play with her for a while or not, you need to get her permission. Tiantian, it's time to rest and sleep soon. Tomorrow morning, Mommy will take you out to buy some more, is that okay?"

"No!" Sweetie jumped away from Ruolan's shoulder, angrily crossing her arms and shouting, "I just wanted to take a look and play with it, not take it away from her. Mom, you are clearly my biological mother, why are you favoring Mengmeng?"

These words were like a sharp weapon, piercing Ruolan's unsuspecting heart.

Is it biased?

But in her heart, ever since she came back, she had always been accommodating her. No matter what happened, her first instinct was to comfort her. Now, she was actually saying that she was more biased towards Mengmeng.

Ruolan's eyes revealed disappointment, which Tiantian noticed, and her heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, she forgot what the immortal had told her again!

She nervously rubbed her pants, then hesitated before looking at Ruolan, tentatively reaching out to touch her arm. "Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, I shouldn't have hurt you."

Ruolan turned her head away, rubbed her eyes with her fingers, and when she turned back, her eyes were already a little red.

Cried?

Sweetie felt a surge of joy inside.

"Mom, are you angry?" Sweetie pretended not to see and asked.

Ruolan composed herself and shook her head, saying, "No, why would Mom be angry with Tiantian? Alright, it's getting late, let me take you back to your room to rest."

As she finished speaking, Ruolan stood up from the sofa.

She hasn't taken her obedience pills for two days; it seems I need to find the right time to give them to her as soon as possible.

After seeing them go upstairs, Xiaobai and Huabaobao waited a few minutes before climbing the steps and returning to Mengmeng's room.

The door opened, and Mengmeng covered her mouth, yawning widely. Seeing Xiaobai and Huabaobao enter, she quickly asked, "Why did it take you so long to come up? Mengmeng was almost asleep waiting for you!"

Her yawn just now made her tears flow.

After Xiaobai and Huabaobao glanced at each other, they thought she was crying.

"Mengmeng, we didn't deliberately dawdle to get up here. We accidentally overheard your mom and Tiantian talking downstairs, so we hid behind the sofa and eavesdropped for a while," Leopard quickly explained.

Eavesdropping?

Mengmeng frowned, "But eavesdropping is wrong. Don't do it again next time."

"What eavesdropping? We just happened to be passing by, and they were talking, so we overheard a few words," Xiaobai explained, nudging the leopard.

After hearing this, Mengmeng still felt it wasn't quite right and corrected her again, "Then you should come back as soon as possible, instead of just standing there listening."

"Aren't you curious about what we heard?" Xiaobai deliberately kept Mengmeng in suspense, unconsciously trying to pique her interest.

Gossip is an innate instinct of living beings. Mengmeng stared at Xiaobai for a long time before shyly asking, "What?"

"You want to hear it?" Xiaobai still didn't say it clearly.

Mengmeng realized that Xiaobai was doing it on purpose, snorted, and put the plush toy she had received back on the table. "I'm not curious."

Seeing Mengmeng pull up her cup to lie down, Xiaobai hopped up onto the bed and said, "It's about you."

About her?

Mengmeng paused in her lying down, hesitated for a moment, then looked up and met Xiaobai's gaze.

Now it was Little White's turn to lie leisurely at the foot of the bed, humming a little tune on purpose.

Seeing Mengmeng's curious yet shy expression, the leopard under the bed said, "She wants your toy."

Little White snorted and glared fiercely at the leopard under the bed.

Sensing the murderous intent in her eyes, Leopard asked obliviously, "Little White, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Don't even mention eyes, I want to grab a knife now!" Xiaobai rolled over in annoyance.
