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

Tomorrow morning?

Can't we do it now?

Mengmeng looked puzzled. "Mom, can't we ask Sister Tiantian now? If Sister Tiantian goes, we can prepare double the things."

"No rush," Ruolan said. "Are you hungry? Mom made your favorite snacks this afternoon."

"Really?" Mengmeng raised her hands high and cheered excitedly.

After tasting the pastries made by Ruolan, she tacitly agreed that Ruolan's pastries were the most delicious in the world.

Upon entering the house, a plate of snacks was placed on the coffee table in the living room.

Gu Yinshen sat on the sofa.

"Daddy~" Mengmeng called out sweetly and quickly walked to Gu Yinshen's side.

Before she even got close, Gu Yinshen opened his arms to welcome Mengmeng.

Nestled in Gu Yinshen's arms, Mengmeng looked up and asked, "Daddy, have you tried the snacks Mommy made?"

A plate of snacks was placed in front of them. Gu Yinshen stroked Mengmeng's cheek and said, "Not yet. We're waiting for Mengmeng to come back so we can enjoy them together."

Ruolan looked at the close 'father and daughter' with a look of satisfaction on her face. She stepped forward, bent down and picked up the plate of snacks from the coffee table, "Give me your feedback."

"My wife made this; you can tell it's the best dessert in the world even before you taste it," Gu Yinshen praised with a smile.

The adorable baby in her arms wasn't going to be outdone and immediately started showering her with compliments, "Mom's cooking is the best ever! Once you take a bite, you'll never forget the taste."

Ruolan, who was being coaxed into happiness by the two of them, forgot what Tiantian had said to her at the door.

On the second floor, Tian Tian stared intently at the scene below with a sinister look.

Praise?

She was adept at using these little tricks!

She looked away and turned to leave.

After dinner, Mengmeng thought it over and decided to tell Tiantian about the class's outing the next day before going to bed.

After organizing her thoughts and calming herself down in her room, she went to Sweetie's room alone.

"Are you looking for me?"

The voice came from behind her. Mengmeng turned around and saw Tiantian standing just a few steps away.

"Sister, our class is going on an outing tomorrow, do you want to go?" Mengmeng asked sweetly.

“Go.” Sweetie replied as she walked towards her.

After receiving the answer, Mengmeng's anxious heart finally settled down.

Before she arrived, she thought Tian Tian wouldn't want to participate, and might even be verbally abusive towards her. After all, Tian Tian hadn't even eaten dinner that night, and when she returned, Tian Tian was still yelling at Ruolan.

With her fear gone, Mengmeng's face lit up with joy. "Sister Tiantian, go to bed early tonight, so we can go to school together tomorrow morning."

"Mmm," Sweetie replied, but her impatience was palpable.

Having finished what she needed to do, Mengmeng decided not to stay any longer. She said goodbye, brushed past Tiantian, and hummed a little tune as she walked towards her room.

Gazing at Mengmeng's departing figure, Tiantian's thoughts were pulled back to an hour earlier.

At dinner time, she deliberately threw a tantrum and refused to eat. She wanted to wait for Ruolan and the others to come upstairs and coax her down, but unexpectedly, instead of them, she encountered Daoist Ziyang.

Upon learning that the school would be organizing an outing for them the next day, Master Ziyang came to the Gu family home and assigned tasks to Tiantian.

Bringing her thoughts back, Tian Tian entered the room without looking back.

……

"Mengmeng, wear a hat, it's very sunny outside."

"Mom, we don't need a hat. Teacher Yue said yesterday that the school will provide hats."

"What about the water glass?"

"Hmm, I think I can bring it with me."

The conversation between Ruolan and Mengmeng echoed throughout the entire Gu residence.

In no time, a small hill had formed on one corner of the sofa.

Gu Shiyu came downstairs, looked at this scene, and asked curiously, "What are they going to do?"

“Extracurricular activities have been banned at Mengmeng’s school,” Ruolan said.

"Extracurricular activities?" Gu Shiyu pressed. "Where are you going? When are you coming back? Will you need to stay out overnight?"

After a series of questions, Ruolan and Mengmeng looked at Gu Shiyu with blank expressions.

“Brother, Teacher Yue Liang didn’t say anything,” Mengmeng replied after thinking for a long time.

The school offers many outdoor activities, which Gu Shiyu has participated in. While generally safe, there are still potential dangers involved.

Gu Shiyu was worried about Mengmeng going alone.

"I'll take you to school in a bit."

"Shi Yu, Mom is taking Mengmeng and Tiantian to school together today."

"Together."

Gu Shiyu came to Mengmeng's side and looked down at her. "You must always be vigilant when you're out. Don't trust anyone. If there's any problem, tell your teacher immediately and have them call us."

"Mengmeng has remembered everything her brother said."

"Yes, no matter what happens, you must call me immediately."

Gu Shiyu took his phone out of his pocket and then put it in Mengmeng's hand.

The heavy phone screen still displays a cute photo of Mengmeng laughing happily.

Looking at it, Mengmeng turned to Ruolan and asked, "Mom, can Mengmeng bring her phone to school?"

“It’s fine to go out today,” Ruolan said. “Alright, we’re almost ready, let’s go. Let’s not be late.”

Sensing something was wrong, Mengmeng looked around and exclaimed, "Sister Tiantian hasn't come down yet!"

I haven't seen her since I had breakfast this morning.

After Mengmeng mentioned it, Ruolan suddenly remembered. She glanced at the time, then looked at Mengmeng and Gu Shiyu in front of her.

"Shi Yu, you take Mengmeng to the car first, I'll go up and check on her."

"okay."

Gu Shiyu bent down, picked up Mengmeng's schoolbag from the sofa, and led Mengmeng outside.

Just as Ruolan stepped onto the stairs, Tiantian came down from upstairs.

"Sweetie, are you all ready?"

"All right."

Sweetie came down empty-handed, without bringing anything with her.

I was only focused on preparing for Mengmeng back then, and now seeing Tiantian looking so cold and forlorn, I can't help but feel a little guilty.

"Sweetie, don't you need to bring anything?"

"Need not."

Sweetie's response was still a cold two-word reply.

Having been met with a cold shoulder, Ruolan nodded dejectedly, "Alright then. Mengmeng has plenty; you can ask her for them if you need them later."

This time, her words received no response, but instead garnered a sweet and resentful look.

Just one glance was enough to send a chill down Ruolan's spine.

"it is good."

After a long while, Tian Tian spoke.

Ruolan felt uneasy. Before she could figure out how to ease the awkward atmosphere between her and Tiantian, Tiantian had already walked past her and downstairs.

Despite his small size, he exudes the air of an adult.

The two came out one after the other, and Mengmeng greeted them warmly, "Mommy, Sweetie!"

Once inside the car, Tian Tian immediately crossed her arms over her chest and closed her eyes.

She had a "do not disturb" attitude, so Mengmeng, who wanted to talk to her, didn't dare to go up and bother her.
