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

“Dad, I’m sure I wasn’t sleepwalking just now,” Sweetie retorted vehemently.

“Sleepwalking is an unconscious behavior. You have no recollection of what you did, so your behavior at that time could have been sleepwalking. Why are you so sure it wasn’t?” Gu Jingsi found her reaction too strange and couldn’t help but ask.

“I…” Sweetie hesitated.

The relentless questioning caught her off guard.

I don't always listen to her, so why did she suddenly change?

Sweetie's eyes swept back and forth between the three of them.

"Don't be nervous, Uncle didn't mean anything by it." Gu Jingsi quickly explained, realizing that Tian Tian was still suspicious of them.

Once doubts arise, they are very difficult to dispel.

Sweetie grinned, her face beaming with innocent joy, "I don't have a creepy uncle."

"That's good." Gu Jingsi said, letting out a sigh of relief, thinking that the flaw had been covered up.

However, Gu Shiyu and Gu Yinshen did not think so.

"To prevent such a dangerous thing from happening again, I'll stay here with you for the rest of the night," Gu Yinshen said, and walked towards her bed.

I can't go back to my room for the time being, so I'll stay here and keep an eye on Ruolan.

Compared to her refusal when she had just fallen asleep, Tian Tian nodded in agreement this time. It seemed that what had happened half an hour earlier was too terrifying, leaving her with psychological trauma.

“I’ll stay too,” Gu Shiyu said.

No!

In Tian Tian's mind, Gu Shiyu was more shrewd than Gu Yinshen. Coupled with the fact that he had previously sent her to the desolate mountains where she had been mauled by wolves, she was wary of Gu Shiyu.

To avoid giving herself away under their pressure in the latter half of the night, she said, "It's enough with Dad here. After all, my little bed can't sleep three people."

Gu Shiyu's gaze fell on the two-meter-long bed.

Even with Gu Jingsi on the bed, it wouldn't feel cramped.

"Let's try it first." Gu Shiyu walked to the bedside and bent down to lie down. He opened his arms, and there was still plenty of space after his arms had touched the ground.

He stood up, pointed to the bed, and explained, "Look, there's enough space to sleep."

"I'd rather not," Sweetie continued to refuse.

Gu Yinshen was worried that she wouldn't even let him stay in a while, so he reached out and pulled Gu Shiyu, who was pressing closer, "You have to go to school tomorrow, so go back to your room and get some rest."

“Yes, you shouldn’t stay.” Gu Jingsi echoed.

Of the three, the fact that only one has managed to stay is already a significant improvement.

Worried that things would get out of control, Tian Tian covered her mouth and yawned, "Ugh~ I'm so sleepy~"

"It's getting late, you should all go back now," Gu Yinshen said.

Having been out for quite some time, Gu Jingsi hadn't noticed anything and, worried about Nan Yuan'er being alone in the room, he readily agreed.

Pulling Gu Shiyu, who was still somewhat reluctant to leave, the two walked outside.

In the corridor, Gu Jingsi was trying to persuade Gu Shiyu.

"You were too hasty just now. She's smart; she must have guessed something."

"So what if she guessed? I have plenty of ways to expose her true colors!"

Seeing that Gu Shiyu was still thinking like a child, Gu Jingsi shook his head helplessly.

A three- or four-year-old child managed to turn the Gu family into complete chaos. Luckily, Mengmeng was there; otherwise, the once-powerful Gu family might have lost all its honor in this lifetime.

Sweet Room.

Gu Yinshen turned to the side, trying to avoid physical contact with Tian Tian as much as possible.

"Why are your eyes open? Weren't you sleepy just now?"

"Dad, I have something to tell you."

"whats the matter?"

Gu Yinshen perked up.

He secretly hoped that what Tian Tian said could bring them some hope.

"Daddy, I accidentally broke Mengmeng's doll today. She seemed very sad, but I didn't know what to do, so I ran back to my room." Tian Tian pouted, looking troubled.

Gu Yinshen's first reaction was to want to scold her harshly. But reason told him that he had to go along with Tian Tian and put her first.

"It's okay, it's just a doll. If it's broken, it's broken. I'll just go to the mall when I have time and buy her another one."

"But Mengmeng said that doll is very important to her, and it can't compare to any other doll."

Seeing the self-reproach in Tian Tian's eyes, Gu Yinshen continued to comfort her, "Then we'll take that doll to get it repaired tomorrow. Okay, don't worry about this anymore."

"Dad, I love you."

Sweetie was satisfied with Gu Yinshen's response, but she still needed to confirm whether his words were sincere.

She feigned excitement, reaching out to wrap her arms around Gu Yinshen's chest, and then snuggling closer into his embrace.

Before Tian Tian could even use her next trick to test Gu Yinshen, a pair of hands landed on her shoulders, pulling her away from Gu Yinshen's embrace.

It seems they were indeed deliberately acting submissive to her, hoping she would become arrogant and do something she shouldn't.

Hmph, they really have to make things difficult for them.

Sweetie didn't snuggle into Gu Yinshen's arms anymore. Instead, she lay flat on her back with her hands folded over her stomach.

The next day, as soon as dawn broke, the Gu residence came to life.

Mengmeng changed her clothes and carried the broken doll to the first floor.

Looking into the kitchen, it was still deserted; Aunt Xue and Aunt Ping had not yet arrived.

Or should we sit on the sofa and wait for them?

Mengmeng's gaze fell on the sofa. She lowered her head and stroked the doll in her arms. "Wait a little longer. Mengmeng will soon ask Aunt Xue and Aunt Ping to help you stitch up your 'wound'."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound of footsteps outside the door.

"Thank you, Uncle Xie!" Mengmeng greeted excitedly.

In the past, it was very difficult to see Xie Beiling, but now it happens one after another, even every day.

"Why are you sitting here all alone?" Xie Beiling came to Mengmeng's side.

He was unaware of what happened at the Gu residence after returning home yesterday. So, he rode his bike over at dawn this morning, solely to cooperate with Gu Yinshen and the others in quickly stripping away the hypocritical mask on Tian Tian's face.

"Mom and Dad are still sleeping!" Mengmeng said. "Uncle Xie, did you come so early for Tiantian?"

The scene at the dinner table last night was still vivid in Mengmeng's mind. Her first thought when she saw him was that he had come to see Tiantian.

Xie Beiling sensed a slight disappointment in Mengmeng's heart and reached out to touch her hair with heartache.

We can't explain it yet, so we'll just have to let her suffer in silence.

Aunt Xue and Aunt Ping entered the living room from inside the courtyard.

Upon seeing them, Tian Tian immediately ran to greet them, clutching her doll, "Aunt Ping, Aunt Xue, Mengmeng needs your help!"
