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

Europe

When Gu Yinshen came out of the ice room, his expression was blank, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.

Ruolan lay quietly in the cold crystal coffin, and no matter what he did, he could not pull her back from the brink of death.

That sense of loss and despair had long since cast a deep shadow over his heart.

Just as he stepped out of the corridor, the butler approached and whispered a message.

"Young Master, the Old Madam wishes to see you."

Gu Yinshen paused for a moment.

He slowly turned his head, his voice cold: "I have nothing to say to her."

The butler lowered his head, not daring to say more. After a moment of silence, he added softly, "She said... she knows you hate her, but before she dies, she still wants to see you one last time, just as a plea on her part."

Gu Yinshen did not respond immediately, his gaze fixed on the air, his heart churning with turbulent emotions.

His mother, the woman who was once high above him and controlled his life, is now approaching the end of her life.

But she was the culprit who drove Ruolan away, causing him to lose his beloved.

A complex emotion flashed across Gu Yinshen's eyes, but in the end he only coldly uttered two words.

"not see."

He glanced intently at the dark door leading to the ward.

Pushing the wheelchair, he boarded the helicopter parked inside the castle without hesitation.

The Spirit Butterfly couldn't save Ruolan; he had no time to linger.

He had to return to China to keep a close eye on Xie Beiling's research progress and try to find a way to revive Ruolan as soon as possible.

The helicopter started up, and the sound of the rotor blades echoed over the ancient castle...

Gu Yinshen's gaze was fixed on the distance, resolute and calm.

at the same time,

A black sedan sped up and stopped in front of the castle gate.

A woman wearing a black cloak, her face hidden in the shadows, hurriedly got out of the car, her black high heels making a crisp sound on the cobblestone street.

The woman walked quickly, her cloak billowing in the wind.

She revealed the fairy butterfly trapped in the glass dome in her arms.

She would occasionally glance down at the Spirit Butterfly, whose light was dim, like the light of a star about to fade away.

The woman quickened her pace, afraid that if she hesitated any longer, the butterfly in her arms would completely lose its last bit of life.

Soon, the day arrived when Gu Shiyu was supposed to meet with the dean.

Gu Shiyu and his group brought Mengmeng to the entrance of the botanical garden.

From afar, Mengmeng spotted the headmistress.

She instantly became excited and, like a little bird, rushed into the arms of the headmistress.

Grandma opened her arms wide, her wrinkles smoothing out as she smiled, her eyes filled with love and contentment.

"Grandma, Mengmeng misses you so much!" Mengmeng said in her childish voice.

"My adorable baby, Grandma misses you too!"

Your face looks a bit fuller! Looks like you're doing well at home!

As the headmistress stroked Mengmeng's head, she marveled at the changes in her child, her eyes welling up with tears.

The two embraced tightly, like long-lost relatives reunited.

Mengmeng looked at the headmistress gratefully: "Thank you, Grandma, for taking care of me all these years. I'm so happy now, with my dad, brother, uncles, aunts, and other relatives who love me!"

The headmistress's eyes also reddened, and she gently patted her back.

"Your happiness is my peace of mind."

As they entered the botanical garden, the surrounding scenery began to change in a peculiar way.

Wherever Mengmeng went, the plants seemed to be affected by some magical force, growing exceptionally fast.

The leaves swayed, the flowers bloomed in competition, and even the vines began to spread, all seemingly moving towards the direction of Mengmeng.

Suddenly, as if it had a mind of its own, a vine gently wrapped around Mengmeng's wrist.

Mengmeng was taken aback.

Before she could react, the vines tightened their grip around her.

Gu Shiyu's face darkened, and he immediately stepped forward.

He quickly pulled a small knife from his waist and neatly cut the vines.

The vine snapped with a snap and drooped limply down.

Mengmeng stared at this scene in surprise, her face full of confusion.

"Brother, the vine... it seems to be kissing me?" Mengmeng said innocently.

Gu Shiyu frowned, held her hand and checked it over to make sure she wasn't injured, then sighed softly.

"Whether it's 'kissing' you or not, it's not okay if it gets all over you."

Gu Jingsi and Xie Beiling noticed the situation and rushed over to check on Mengmeng. They were relieved to find that she was alright.

Afterwards, Gu Jingsi gently wiped Mengmeng's sweat with a towel, while Xie Beiling carefully handed her a water cup, afraid that she might be thirsty.

The two argued over who should give Mengmeng water.

Gu Jingsi said seriously, "I'll do it! I'm her uncle."

Xie Beiling, not to be outdone, immediately chimed in, "So what if she's an uncle? Mengmeng is practically a member of the Xie family now!!"

"And he's my little apprentice too..." Xie Beiling muttered under his breath.

The two exchanged words, their atmosphere tinged with subtle sparks.

Gu Shiche, carrying a cute little backpack and holding a cute little white fox and a little black cat in his arms, silently protected her, occasionally giving her a gentle smile.

Nan Yuan'er quietly walked behind Mengmeng and gently put a delicate pearl-embellished tulle sun hat on her head.

Her movements were gentle and careful, as if she was afraid of hurting Mengmeng.

"Wear this hat and the sun won't burn your little face."

Mengmeng looked up at the family members surrounding her, smiled sweetly, and felt warm and content.

The headmistress watched this heartwarming scene with a look of relief, tears welling up in her eyes.

She was happy for Mengmeng, who now truly had a home and a group of family members who genuinely loved and doted on her.

A giant bird circled in the sky.

It was enormous, its wingspan resembling a canopy, its ink-black feathers shimmering with a bluish-red luster. With each flap of its wings, ripples of spiritual energy rippled through the air, carrying an aura of deadly power.

His eyes were like two burning flames, his sharp gaze piercing through the clouds and fixed on Mengmeng on the ground.

A soft spiritual light emanates from Mengmeng's body, the purest spiritual energy in the world. Every time it senses the fluctuation of Mengmeng's spiritual light, the ancient bloodline within its body will ignite, as if it has found its destined home.

"Is she the one I've been searching for for ten thousand years?" Bi Fang asked himself in a low voice, his heart surging with emotion.

The botanical garden is filled with the sweet fragrance of plants.

However, none of this appealed to Sweetie.

She came to the botanical garden because her younger brother, Niannian, had been clamoring to come. On the surface, Tiantian doted on Niannian, but in her heart, she had already grown distant from him.

Sweetie's gaze inadvertently swept over a group of people in front of her.

The crowd surrounded a little girl dressed in a luxurious princess dress and wearing an exquisite princess hat. Everyone around her gazed at her with doting eyes, as if she were the most important person in the world.

Sweetie's heart suddenly tightened.

That little girl looks so much like Mengmeng.

A sense of panic welled up inside Tian Tian.
