"How did Mengmeng sense it?" Gu Jingsi was extremely curious.

He would interact with Nan Yuan'er's belly and the baby every day, but it always felt like he was acting out a one-man show, getting no response at all. Sometimes, he would only receive laughter from Nan Yuan'er.

Mengmeng reached out and took Gu Jingsi's hand, moving it closer to the center of her stomach. "Uncle, can you feel it?"

Touching this spot is no different from touching the side. Gu Jingsi was not giving up, so he pressed his palm slightly harder on his stomach.

"Ah~"

Suddenly a cry of surprise rang out in front of her, and Nan Yuan'er instantly leaned back, supporting her waist with both hands.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jingsi hurriedly removed his hand from her stomach and helped her to sit down on the sofa.

Mengmeng also summoned the little butterfly immediately.

The little butterfly flew to Nan Yuan'er and landed on her stomach, its antennae touching her skin through her clothes.

Gu Jingsi stood motionless to the side, worried that he would affect Xiao Hudie.

Everyone in the living room cooperated, remaining quiet and not moving an inch.

"Little Butterfly said that Auntie is fine. It was Uncle who touched Auntie's belly too hard, and the baby inside was disturbed and got angry," Mengmeng recounted.

The tension eased, and everyone turned to look at Gu Jing as he began his lesson.

"I...I was trying to communicate with them through Nengneng's method." Gu Jingsi explained his actions with a shameful expression, like a naive young man.

Nan Yuan'er shook her head helplessly, "If you keep acting like this, the child will be wary of you after birth, and may even be discussing how unreliable you are as a father while still in the womb!"

"No!" Gu Jingsi became anxious. "Mengmeng, please pass on a few words to them. Tell them that I will do everything in my power to protect them and their mother."

One second there was a false alarm, the next a vivid confession.

Seeing so many people around, and Gu Jingsi saying such things right away, Nan Yuan'er shyly reached out and nudged his shoulder.

Gu Jingsi not only didn't back down, but instead directly pulled her into his arms, saying, "Yuan'er, I'm telling you the truth. If you marry me, I'll make sure you're happy every day."

He did exactly what he said he would do.

In the first few years after her marriage, Nan Yuan'er didn't want to lose her career because of it. So, on her wedding day, she made Gu Jingsi promise her that she could continue working. Later, as her career flourished, she postponed her plans to have children.

So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Gu Jingsi has never complained to her. On the contrary, he has always supported her every decision. Even when he encounters setbacks or falls ill, he doesn't want to tell her about it and make her worry.

Looking into Gu Jingsi's eyes, which were full of affection, Nan Yuan'er reached out and gripped his palm tightly. "Given your excellent behavior in this life, I'm prepared to marry you in my next life too."

"They're showing off their love," Ruolan teased from the side.

Nan Yuan'er was surprised to hear these words from Ruolan.

Over the years of their marriage, although they are sisters-in-law, they only nod to each other and rarely have any verbal exchanges, let alone sit face to face and joke with each other now.

Ruolan felt the gaze and realized she had overstepped her bounds, so she quickly apologized, "I didn't mean anything by it. I just saw how loving you two were and, out of envy and good wishes, I teased you a little to liven things up."

“Sister-in-law, I understand. But it’s fine to liven things up, but don’t be envious.” Nan Yuan’er raised her eyebrows, mimicking her expression from earlier. “Who doesn’t know about your relationship with my brother? Apart from you, every other woman is no different from a man in front of him.”

Ruolan, who had just been casually teasing him, now blushed as red as a monkey's bottom. She waved her hand and said, "Alright, let's stop teasing each other."

Nan Yuan'er smiled happily.

Compared to the cheerful atmosphere downstairs, it was rather quiet upstairs.

Gu Yinshen entered Tian Tian's room. The tightly closed curtains made the room dark and without any light.

The first thing he did upon entering the room was to draw back the curtains, letting the sunlight stream in.

A beam of bright light pierced through, and Tian Tian, ​​who was lying flat on the bed, felt uncomfortable and wanted to furrow her brow.

Damn it, he came in and immediately drew back the curtains. Was he trying to force her to open her eyes?

Sweetie screamed inwardly, her hand under the blanket pinching her inner thigh hard, preferring the pain to showing the discomfort her eyes felt from the light.

Gu Yinshen came to the bedside, bent down and waved his hand over Mengmeng's eyes, then bent down and sat on the edge of the bed, taking out his phone from his pocket.

Tick-tock~

After unlocking the screen, Gu Yinshen found Xie Beiling's WeChat account.

With a click, Gu Yinshen sent a photo of Tian Tian lying flat on the bed to Xie Beiling.

A short while later, Xie Beiling called.

Gu Yinshen didn't shy away from Tian Tian's existence. He answered the phone and asked directly, "The general situation is what I sent on WeChat. How can we determine if she is really possessed by something evil?"

Xie Beiling has never believed in ghosts or gods, but Mengmeng has indeed done many extraordinary things, which makes him suspect that in addition to people like Mengmeng who use their superpowers to help others, there are also people with evil intentions who use their divine power to harm others.

Therefore, after such a bizarre incident occurred in the Gu family, Xie Beiling decided to investigate thoroughly and find out the unspeakable secret.

"I'm already on my way, and I should be able to reach the Gu residence in about five minutes." Xie Beiling looked at the green light that was about to turn on ahead.

He took samples of all the food from the Gu family's dining table last night and took them to the research lab to retrieve the components from the food.

Before the results were even out, Gu Yinshen's photo and information were sent over.

"Okay, see you in a bit." Gu Yinshen hung up the phone, put it down, and noticed Tian Tian's eyelashes trembling slightly out of the corner of her eye.

Do eyelashes move when a person is asleep?

Having never noticed this problem before, Gu Yinshen immediately picked up his phone again and searched for the answer on Baidu.

Looking at the answer, he put away his suspicions again.

He didn't realize it until he checked: when a person is asleep, their eyes move, and their drooping eyelids cause their eyelashes to tremble.

Gu Yinshen stood up from the bedside, looked around, and his gaze fell on the wardrobe in the room.

For a fleeting moment, he felt something in the cabinet was drawing him closer.

Gu Yinshen did not hesitate and walked straight towards the wardrobe.

Just as the hand was about to fall, Tian Tian on the bed stirred and groggily opened her eyes.
