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

“Since you’re going back, I’ll have the driver take you home,” Gu Shiyu said, standing up from the sofa and heading in the direction of Tian Tian.

Lin Ling was surprised that Gu Shiyu would be so harsh on Tian Tian. She paused for a few seconds, then awkwardly let go of Tian Tian's arm.

“Auntie, since she wants to go back, forcing her to stay won't work. The Gu family's driver has also been outside the whole time, just in case she suddenly wants to go home,” Gu Shiyu said again.

His words gradually dispelled Lin Ling's confusion, and she tacitly accepted that Tian Tian was naturally introverted and would feel uncomfortable in unfamiliar places.

"Then Auntie will take you out to catch a ride." Lin Ling bent down, still affectionately holding her hand in front of her.

Sweetie didn't mean to leave, but now, because of Gu Shiyu, everything has been forced upon her, and there's nothing she can do about it.

She walked out reluctantly, giving Gu Shiyu a fierce glare before leaving.

On the contrary, after saying those words, Gu Shiyu sat back down on the sofa and continued talking to Tang Yibai.

“Tian…” Lin Ling turned around, her gaze meeting Tian Tian’s fierce eyes. A chill ran through her; she couldn’t understand how a child could suddenly reveal such a terrifying look.

Tian Tian ignored Lin Ling, stepped down the stairs, and strode out. Before Lao Zhang could open the car door, she had already opened it in one go, gotten into the car, and then slammed the door shut.

Lin Ling and Lao Zhang both looked at each other awkwardly as the car door was closed without any attempt to conceal it.

Old Zhang nodded to Lin Ling, bent down and got into the driver's seat, and quickly drove away.

As she watched the car disappear around the corner, the inexplicable pressure in Lin Ling's heart vanished instantly. She exhaled and turned to walk back into the house.

"Mom~"

Tangtang led Mengmeng downstairs and happened to run into Lin Ling who was coming in from outside.

A smile returned to Lin Ling's face as she opened her arms to catch Tangtang, who pounced on her. "Are you two little ones hungry?"

"Gululu~"

Mengmeng's belly made an untimely sound. Her face flushed red with embarrassment, and she awkwardly lowered her head to stroke her little belly.

Lin Ling said with a smile, "Wait three more minutes, and we can eat. Tangtang, take Mengmeng to wash her hands first, and then sit down at the table."

“Okay, Mom!” Tangtang turned around, took Mengmeng’s hand, and pointed ahead, “That’s the bathroom on the first floor of my house. I’ll take you there now.”

Mengmeng nodded, absentmindedly looking around for Tiantian's figure.

Didn't Sister Sweetie come down?

Her eyes met Gu Shiyu's, and she immediately called out sweetly, "Brother~"

Gu Shiyu stood up, and Tang Yibai, who was next to him, also stood up from the sofa as he watched Lin Ling busy in the kitchen.

"Tangtang, take your brother with you to the bathroom."

"it is good."

Tangtang looked at Gu Shiyu, and a shy expression immediately appeared on her face.

"Brother Shiyu, my bathroom is just up ahead. You can come with me and Mengmeng," Tangtang whispered.

Gu Shiyu nodded and walked behind Mengmeng.

After washing my hands, I returned to the living room, where a beautiful and abundant meal was already laid out on the table.

"Come on, it's all ready," Lin Ling said, gesturing with her hand.

Tang Yibai came out of the kitchen with bowls and chopsticks, saying, "Don't stand there, everyone."

Gu Shiyu walked towards the dining table, glanced at the food, and politely said to Tang Yibai and Lin Ling, "Thank you for your hospitality, Uncle and Aunt."

"This child, you're being too polite." Tang Yibai smiled and patted Gu Shiyu on the shoulder. "Thanks to your sister Mengmeng, my leg was able to heal. If we're talking about gratitude, I should be the one saying thank you."

As Mengmeng sat down in the chair, she listened to Gu Shiyu's words and said, "Uncle, it was just a small favor, no need to thank me."

"Yes, yes, no need for thanks, Uncle. In Uncle's heart, she's just like our Tangtang." Tang Yibai's eyes smiled and turned into crescent moons.

Lin Ling chuckled and teased, "Alright, the food's getting cold. Mengmeng's been starving for ages, let's all start eating!"

"Look at me, I've been so busy talking." Tang Yibai slapped his forehead, picked up his chopsticks, and gestured for everyone to start eating.

Before Mengmeng could decide what to eat, a chicken wing landed on her plate.

"Mengmeng, these are honey chicken wings that Mom made. They're even tastier than cola chicken wings. You'll definitely love them," Tangtang said.

After chewing a small bite, the sweetness of honey filled her mouth. Mengmeng's eyes lit up, and she took another big bite, stuffing her mouth full. Then she gave Lin Ling a thumbs up, "Delicious! Auntie's chicken wings are so delicious! Can I eat several today?"

"Of course." Lin Ling smiled and pushed the plate towards her. "If it's not enough, Auntie will make more later."

"Mengmeng, it's not just chicken wings that are delicious, try this too."

In no time, Mengmeng's plate was piled up into a small hill because Tangtang had put food on it.

Mengmeng was holding chopsticks, unsure which piece to pick up first.

Tangtang was still eating when Gu Shiyu, who was standing next to her, reminded her, "Wait until she finishes eating before you put more food in her bowl."

Tang Yibai and Lin Ling then noticed the situation on Mengmeng's plate.

Feeling apologetic, Lin Ling quickly stood up from her chair and went into the back kitchen to take out a new plate.

"Tangtang, please stop putting food on Mengmeng's plate. She can hardly finish it all," Tang Yibai said.

Lin Ling placed the newly taken-out plate in front of Mengmeng, "Put these aside for now and use this plate."

"It's okay, Auntie, I can finish it all." Mengmeng glanced at the plate and started picking up food from the top.

Tangtang's unease dissipated after Mengmeng started eating.

After dinner, Tangtang reluctantly held Mengmeng's hand, "Are we going back so soon? Can we sleep at my house tonight? We can go to school together tomorrow morning."

Mengmeng looked at Gu Shiyu.

"You can see each other tomorrow at school." Gu Shiyu didn't explicitly refuse, but the meaning behind his words was quite clear.

Lin Ling pulled Tangtang away, "Tangtang, Mengmeng's parents are still waiting for her to come home. We'll invite her over to play next time after school."

Seeing the disappointment on Tangtang's face, Mengmeng stepped forward and took her hand. "Tangtang, come visit me at my house next time."

"Is it okay?" Tangtang looked at Gu Shiyu.

Following her gaze, Mengmeng also looked at Gu Shiyu.

"Sure. You can come over anytime," Gu Shiyu said, catching their expectant gazes.

After receiving an accurate answer, the two children cheered and hugged each other.

Tang Yibai and Lin Ling exchanged a glance. He put his arm around Lin Ling's shoulder and looked at Mengmeng and Tangtang with happiness.
