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

Without turning his head, he strode towards the castle, his eyes revealing an undisguised possessiveness.

"Mengmeng, how was your day?"

He lowered his head and asked, his voice still cold and aloof, but the concern in his eyes warmed people's hearts.

Mengmeng nestled in Gu Shiyu's arms, feeling her brother's warmth, and said with a grin, "I'm so happy today! Second brother played with me, Xiao Hei, and Xiao Bai all day long!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shiyu's lips curled up slightly, but he still maintained an indifferent demeanor and gave a soft "hmm".

As I continued walking, I felt at ease because of Mengmeng's happiness.

Mengmeng smiled sweetly in Gu Shiyu's arms and began to share her day in her childish voice.

"Brother, Uncle Si is so cool! He took me on an airplane ride! We flew so high!"

Flying in the sky, the houses and cars below look so small, like toys!

The wind is so strong! Little White is so scared he's hiding in my arms. Hehe, Little Black is so brave, protecting his second brother!

She gestured with her hands to show what an airplane looks like when it's flying.

Her little face was beaming with excitement, and her eyes sparkled like tiny stars, radiating pure and innocent light.

As she spoke, Mengmeng turned to Gu Jingsi, smiling sweetly and softly:

"Uncle Si, you're so good to Mengmeng! Mengmeng likes Uncle Si!"

When Gu Jingsi heard Mengmeng sweetly say that she liked him, a smile immediately spread across his face.

Just as he was basking in this joy, Gu Shiyu suddenly rolled his eyes at him, as if warning him not to be too smug.

Gu Jingsi felt a little uncomfortable under that glare and gave an awkward laugh.

He shrank back slightly, looking like he was obediently admitting defeat.

He rubbed his nose helplessly, muttering to himself, "Sigh, even an uncle can't beat this sister-protecting maniac."

Seeing her brother's expression, Mengmeng quickly explained, "Brother, Uncle Si is very nice to me! He wants me to be his little princess, but I don't want to go to Europe. I want to stay with you and everyone else."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shiyu's expression immediately turned cold, and a hint of murderous intent even flashed in his eyes.

Uncle wanted to kidnap Mengmeng the very first day he got back! He's so audacious!

He tightened his grip on Mengmeng's hand, his tone tinged with jealousy.

"Stay away from them, Mengmeng!"

Seeing Gu Shiyu's jealous expression, Gu Jingsi smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.

"There's nothing I can do, Mengmeng is just so cute. Xiaoyu, if you were me, you might also want to kidnap Mengmeng."

Xie Beiling snorted coldly, his tone filled with disdain: "The dignified Second Master Gu has done something as shameless as kidnapping a child."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingsi calmly revealed a faint smile.

His eyes, which held a touch of aristocratic arrogance, stared at Xie Beiling with amusement.

"Shameless?"

"Beiling, you're being too harsh."

I was just sending my little niece to Europe for a vacation so she could experience the life of the aristocracy.

How can that be considered kidnapping?

His voice was soft and gentle, with a touch of elegant flirtation.

With a slight lift of his eyelids, Gu Jingsi glanced at Mengmeng, who was holding the little white fox, and his tone softened even more.

"Besides, Mengmeng likes me too."

...Gu Shiyu, listening to the conversation, had veins throbbing on his forehead.

Gu Shiyu never expected that the two of them would know each other and both fall in love with Mengmeng.

These two are both super big shots in their respective fields, usually cold, ruthless, and dignified, but now they're like two childish kids vying for attention, circling around Mengmeng.

Gu Shiyu felt a surge of indescribable speechlessness and impatience.

Unable to bear watching the two uncles' battle for his affections, he picked up Mengmeng and walked even faster.

However, Gu Jingsi's words made him stop in his tracks instantly.

"Mengmeng kissed me today! Has she ever kissed you?!"

Gu Jingsi's voice was filled with pride and smugness.

Mengmeng was watching her two uncles bickering and smiling sweetly when she suddenly felt a cold gaze.

Turning her head, she saw Gu Shiyu standing in front of her with a dark expression.

She pursed her lips and asked in a soft, babyish voice, "Brother? What's wrong?"

"Mengmeng, did you really kiss him?"

His tone was displeased, his voice low yet questioning, as if he couldn't believe it.

Mengmeng blinked her big, innocent eyes and nodded honestly.

"Yes, we kissed."

Gu Shiyu's face immediately darkened, and he glared coldly at Gu Jingsi, his gaze almost freezing him.

He lowered his head and said to Mengmeng gently but with a hint of warning, "Mengmeng, you can't just kiss other people."

His tone was unmistakably serious.

Mengmeng was completely confused by her brother's words. Her little face was full of confusion, and her voice was sweet and childlike.

"But doesn't a kiss mean you like someone?"

She looked up at Gu Shiyu innocently, completely unaware of what she had done wrong.

Looking at her innocent appearance, Gu Shiyu felt helpless and gently rubbed her head.

Despite being filled with jealousy, she finally sighed and softened her tone.

"You can only love someone if you like them! From now on, you can't just give kisses to anyone without your brother's permission!"

Mengmeng nodded, a little confused. Although she didn't quite understand why, she knew her brother wouldn't lie to her, and she would listen to him and not give kisses so easily in the future.

Inside the castle

Gu Shiyu was playing with building blocks with Mengmeng.

Gu Jingsi and Xie Beiling sat not far away, eagerly waiting for an opportunity to get closer to Mengmeng.

However, whenever they got even a little closer, Gu Shiyu would narrow his eyes slightly, giving them a cold glance with a warning look in his eyes.

It's as if it's saying, "Don't even think about taking my Mengmeng away."

After waiting for a long time, the two finally took the opportunity to sneak up next to Mengmeng when Gu Shiyu went to the kitchen.

They rushed to get close to Mengmeng, afraid that she would get there first.

"Mengmeng, are you tired? Do you want me to massage your shoulders?"

Xie Beiling reacted quickly, reaching out his hand in a gentle tone that softened anyone's heart.

Not to be outdone, Gu Jingsi immediately took out the prepared candy box and smiled ingratiatingly:

"Mengmeng, Uncle brought you lots of delicious candies, do you want to try some?"

Before Mengmeng could answer, the two had already started competing. Xie Beiling's outstretched hand was blocked by Gu Jingsi, and Gu Jingsi's candy box was almost snatched away by Xie Beiling.

"Don't bother me while I'm taking care of Mengmeng."

Xie Beiling's tone was somewhat impatient as he glanced at Gu Jingsi.

Gu Jingsi narrowed his eyes. "You'll take care of her? Mengmeng is my niece. Who gave you the right to do that?"

Mengmeng tilted her head and watched the two cool and handsome uncles arguing like children, which she found a little funny.

However, before the two could reach a conclusion, Gu Shiyu came out of the kitchen carrying a cup of hot milk.

Upon seeing this scene, his eyes instantly turned cold.

Upon hearing the commotion of Gu Shiyu's return, Gu Jingsi and Xie Beiling instantly recoiled as if struck by lightning, distancing themselves from Mengmeng.

A look of panic and embarrassment crossed his face.

Gu Jingsi hid the candy box behind his back, shrank his neck, and looked around nervously.

Xie Beiling stood up stiffly and said awkwardly, "Oh, Shi Yu, you're back."

Gu Shiyu's hand holding the milk cup was slightly red, and his knuckles were taut.

She secretly pondered how to deal with these two big shots who wouldn't let Mengmeng go.

He thought that Gu Jingsi had lived abroad for many years and was used to a Western-style diet, while Xie Beiling had severe rhinitis and was particularly afraid of spicy food.

Perfect timing! One of Mengmeng's little wishes is to eat spicy hot pot.

Thinking of this, Gu Shiyu smiled meaningfully.

He gently stroked Mengmeng's head and whispered, "Mengmeng, how about I have hot pot with you tonight? The spiciest kind, really."

He deliberately emphasized the words "hottest".

In his mind, he could already picture Gu Jingsi and Xie Beiling sweating profusely and looking disheveled from the spiciness.

"Wow, great! Mengmeng likes spicy food~~ Thank you, brother! You're the best!"

Mengmeng jumped up happily, her eyes sparkling.

Completely unaware of the cunning glint that flashed in Gu Shiyu's eyes.

Gu Shiyu chuckled inwardly, finally having a chance to properly "treat" these two uncles and let them taste authentic spicy hot pot.

The restaurant was warmly lit at night.

At the dining table, each person had a small, exquisite hot pot in front of them.

The red oil in the pot was bubbling and boiling, and the bright red broth was filled with a spicy aroma that made one's mouth water.

The table was laden with ingredients: the Wagyu beef had a clear and delicate marbling, the abalone exuded the fresh aroma of the ocean, and the lobster was tender and translucent...

Gu Shiyu sat next to Mengmeng, carefully cooking meat for her, and picking out perfectly cooked tender beef for her.

He served Mengmeng food and lovingly fed her milk.

He glanced coldly at Gu Jingsi and Xie Beiling not far away.

The steam from the hot pot swirled around his face, but it couldn't hide the smug smirk in his eyes.

"Brother, this hot pot is so delicious!"

With meat in her mouth, Mengmeng's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she excitedly waved her arms and legs, her smile as radiant as a little sun.

The voice was muffled, yet filled with immense satisfaction.

As she ate, she shared the meat with Little White and Little Black, and the two little guys wagged their tails happily, their mouths greasy from eating.

However, Gu Jingsi and Xie Beiling, who were sitting at the other end, were not so lucky.

Gu Shiyu secretly added a large amount of ghost peppers to their hot pot base and dipping sauce.

The two big shots were completely unaware of the situation. After taking a bite, they were immediately scalded by the spiciness, their faces turning red and tears streaming down their faces. Their lips swelled up like sausages.

However, for Mengmeng's sake, they still endured the pain and gritted their teeth to persevere.

Gu Jingsi wiped his sweat and laughed, "Mengmeng likes to eat it, so I'll keep at it!"

He tried his best to maintain his elegant aristocratic demeanor, but the spiciness was so intense that he was on the verge of collapse.

Xie Beiling was not to be outdone. Even though his mouth was swollen as if it was about to burst, he still clenched his teeth and looked stubborn.

"Yes, I like what Mengmeng likes too!"

Seeing them holding back their words, Gu Shiyu felt a sense of crisis.
