Nan Yuan'er's eyes lit up, her heart filled with surprise, but she felt it was too precious, so she quickly waved her hand to refuse.

"This is too precious, Auntie can't accept it."

Upon hearing this, Mengmeng immediately pouted, put her hands on her hips, and looked like she was about to get angry if he didn't accept it.

"No! Auntie must accept it!"

Gu Jingsi patted Mengmeng's head and said with a doting smile, "Alright, Yuan'er, accept it. Mengmeng is so thoughtful."

Nan Yuan'er smiled helplessly, looking at the expectant eyes of Gu Jingsi and Mengmeng, and had no choice but to accept the spirit butterfly, saying gratefully, "Then Auntie won't be polite, thank you Mengmeng."

Gu Jingsi raised his eyebrows smugly, turned his head to glance at Xie Beiling standing to the side, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

"Heh, I have a Psylocke now, so I'm not any worse than that guy, right?"

Xie Beiling understood the implication in his words, but only glanced at him indifferently.

He seemed lost in some deep thought and had no interest in paying attention to his comparisons.

Gu Jingsi, as always, doted on Mengmeng gently, asking her softly if she had eaten enough, and carefully serving her food, his eyes full of tenderness.

Nan Yuan'er sat quietly to the side, watching her husband interact with the little girl, feeling a warmth in her heart.

She thought that if Gu Jingsi could have children, he would definitely be a very, very good father.

"Auntie, you should eat too!"

She spoke sweetly and even picked up a spoon and handed it to Nan Yuan'er, her innocent little face full of naivety.

Nan Yuan'er suppressed her bitter smile.

He affectionately patted Mengmeng's curly hair. "Thank you, Mengmeng."

Gu Jingsi looked at them, his eyes sparkling with warmth.

At this moment, he showed absolutely no signs of psychological problems and appeared to be full of happiness.

Gu Shiyu and Nan Yuan'er exchanged a quick glance, both of them having the same question in their minds: how could Gu Jingsi have such an emotional breakdown?

The two tacitly reached a consensus: they must secretly observe Gu Jingsi's condition tonight.

On the other side, Xie Beiling appeared somewhat gloomy.

He watched in silence the sweet interaction between Gu Jingsi and Nan Yuan'er, a dull ache in his heart.

Xie Yumin's matter had been lingering in his mind, and the happy scene before him felt more like a sting.

Mengmeng keenly sensed Uncle Ling's disappointment.

She adorably picked up a slice of beef with her chopsticks, handed it to Xie Beiling, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Uncle Ling, you should eat too! Don't be sad."

Looking at Mengmeng's innocent smile, Xie Beiling felt a little less gloomy.

Although a trace of sadness remained in his eyes, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you, Mengmeng."

The night was deep,

Mengmeng had changed into adorable fox-patterned pajamas and was quietly nestled in Nan Yuan'er's arms.

Nan Yuan'er hummed a nursery rhyme softly, her gentle voice like a summer night breeze brushing against her cute little face.

Her gaze was full of tenderness, as if she were coaxing her own daughter.

Mengmeng gradually drifted off to sleep, emitting soft snores, curling up into a tiny ball, looking incredibly cute.

The room of Gu Shiyu was eerily quiet, and his heart was filled with unease.

He stood by the window for a long time, but Gu Jingsi never appeared. Just when he thought everything was over...

Gu Jingsi went up to the rooftop again, his shoulders trembling, and he cried silently.

Gu Shiyu felt a surge of tension, his heart filled with complex emotions.

He rushed out of the room and hurried towards Mengmeng's room.

Pushing open the door, you are greeted by an unusual tranquility.

Nan Yuan'er stood by the window, her back view thin and lonely. The moonlight shone on her, making her look even more fragile.

Gu Shiyu approached gently and saw her raise her hand to cover her mouth, tears streaming down her face as she tried to suppress her sobs.

Outside the window, Gu Jingsi still had his back to them, as if surrounded by endless pain, seemingly blending into the night.

“Aunt…”

Gu Shiyu called softly, and Nan Yuan'er turned around, her face covered in tears, her eyes filled with pain and helplessness.

Her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but tears and sorrow rendered her unable to speak.

Nan Yuan'er's cries echoed softly in the room, carrying a deep sense of helplessness and pain.

She and Gu Shiyu sat on the edge of the bed, both lost in their own thoughts.

I feel sorry for Gu Jingsi's years of hidden suffering.

Nan Yuan'er finally broke the silence and confessed, "Xiao Yu...it's not that I don't want to have children...it's him, Jing Si...who is infertile. I didn't want to put pressure on him, so I always took the responsibility upon myself."

Gu Shiyu was stunned and stared at her in shock.

He never imagined that there would be such hidden pain between his uncle and aunt.

"Does my uncle...do he know about this himself?"

Nan Yuan'er gently shook her head, tears streaming down her face again.

He doesn't know, and I've never told him. I don't want him to suffer because of this...

But after all these years, I'm tired, and I won't run away anymore.

I want to face this with him, even if the outcome can't be changed, I want him to know he's not alone.

Gu Shiyu nodded, his tone gentle yet firm.

“Auntie, you can be honest with Uncle. The medical standards in China are very high; we can try other methods…”

Nan Yuan'er took a deep breath, a hint of determination appearing in her eyes.

Neither of them noticed Mengmeng on the bed. Although the little one seemed to be asleep, her eyelashes trembled slightly, indicating that she was clearly awake but was just pretending to be asleep.

After Gu Shiyu and Nan Yuan'er left the room, Mengmeng quietly opened her eyes.

She sat up and reached out to pat the little white fox that was dozing off beside her.

"Xiaobai, Uncle can't have children, what should we do? I see Auntie crying so sadly, it breaks my heart..."

I want to help them so they can have their own babies too.

Little White didn't even open its eyes, wrinkled its nose, and squeaked, "Mengmeng~~ I'm just a lazy and greedy little fox, I can't help humans have children. Why don't you go into the space and ask the little elf? Maybe it has a way."

Mengmeng entered the space and called out a few times.

The elf's voice seemed to float down from the sky, carrying a light, ethereal echo.

She asked anxiously, "Little elf~~ Uncle can't have babies, but he and Auntie really want a child. How can I help them?"

The little elf smiled and reminded her, "Mengmeng, your space contains many fruits and vegetables nurtured by the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon. These vegetables have a magical healing effect on the human body and may be able to help your uncle recover his health and regain his fertility."

Mengmeng's eyes lit up, as if she had been enlightened.

She ran quickly towards the fields, where an endless expanse of farmland stretched out before her, the aroma of vegetables and fruits filling the air.

The lush, juicy Chinese cabbage and bok choy, the smooth, plump eggplants, the crisp cucumbers, the sweet tomatoes, the bright red peppers, and the tender lettuce...

She stood in this bountiful field, her eyes sparkling with excitement, her heart filled with unwavering conviction.

Uncle will become healthy and strong after eating these vegetables, and he and Aunt will have a beautiful and lovely baby together!

----

Early the next morning,

In the garden of the Gu family castle, a scene unfolded that left everyone speechless.

Rows of vegetables and fruits grew abundantly in every corner of the garden, including Chinese cabbage, winter melon, eggplant, tomatoes, and green beans... It was like a vegetable extravaganza!

What's even more peculiar is that these vegetables are far larger than usual.

The winter melon was half a person's height, the cucumber was as thick as an adult man's arm, and the cabbage emitted a unique and refreshing fragrance...

Attracted, Xie Beiling stepped forward, picked up a tomato that was as big as two fists, wiped it briefly, took a bite, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"These tomatoes are so sweet! They're even juicier than peaches!"

In just a few bites, he finished the tomato.

I was surprised to feel a sense of openness in my lungs and chest, as if all the blockages in my body had been cleared away.

Gu Jingsi also curiously broke off a cucumber and gave half to Nan Yuan'er.

After taking a bite, they exclaimed in unison, "This cucumber is so fragrant! So fresh!"

After eating, they all felt much more relaxed and energetic.

What's most incredible is that these vegetables weren't there last night, yet they sprouted from the ground overnight, growing so huge and robust—it's simply unbelievable.

At this moment, Gu Shiyu led Mengmeng out of the castle.

Seeing the scene before him, Gu Shiyu was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly guessed the answer.
