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

Mengmeng stood in the sunlight, gazing at the small flowerpot containing ice stone seeds.

The flowerpot gleamed slightly, and her small hand gently stroked its edge.

He silently vowed in his heart, "Mom, wait for me, I will definitely save you."

Even though she promised her brother she would go to kindergarten, she would still make time to take care of the seeds.

I hope it will sprout soon and bloom into the flower that saved my mother.

During this period, the Gu family was immersed in a depressing atmosphere. Nan Yuan'er took on most of the Gu family's affairs and cared for each of the Gu family's children. Every day, she would try to come up with different ways to make food to supplement everyone's nutrition.

Although she was very busy, she felt very fulfilled and relaxed, and she felt much more comfortable than on the catwalk.

Just then, Nan Yuan'er walked in with a smile, carrying a bowl of fragrant bird's nest soup, and handed it to Mengmeng.

"It smells so good! Thank you, Auntie!"

Mengmeng took the bowl, took a sip, and then tilted her head to look at Nan Yuan's stomach with a slightly puzzled expression.

She looked up and asked Nan Yuan'er, "Auntie, why is there movement in your belly? Are you sick?"

Nan Yuan'er and Gu Jingsi exchanged a glance, their expressions instantly turning tense.

Gu Jingsi's heart skipped a beat. He was already sick, and he didn't want Yuan'er to suffer from illness as well.

Nan Yuan'er nervously touched her stomach...

Gu Jingsi immediately took out his phone and called the driver, "Let's go to the hospital for a check-up right away."

The two left in a flurry of activity, and returned just as quickly.

Gu Jingsi rushed into the living room first, grinning from ear to ear, and announced to everyone:

"Yuan'er is pregnant! We're going to be parents!"

Nan Yuan'er's face was filled with surprise, her eyes brimming with tenderness and joy.

Gu Jing excitedly lifted Mengmeng high in the air, and Nan Yuan'er laughed and spun around with her.

"Mengmeng is amazing! She could even tell that her aunt is pregnant!"

The Gu family sat around the dining table, and the somber atmosphere of the past few days was brought a touch of joy by the news.

Nan Yuan'er hugged Mengmeng in her arms and couldn't help but kiss her forehead, her voice full of gratitude.

"Mengmeng, it is because of you that we have this little life."

Gu Yinshen patted Gu Jingsi's arm and sincerely said, "Congratulations."

Seeing Gu Jingsi and Nan Yuan'er's happy appearance, he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes...

Then, Gu Yinshen didn't eat, but turned his wheelchair and walked towards the ice room, his heart still preoccupied with Ruolan.

Gu Shiyu and Gu Shiche also congratulated their uncle and aunt, their eyes filled with genuine joy.

Gu Shiche gently stroked Xiao Hei's fur and said with a smile, "No wonder Xiao Hei has been sticking to Auntie these past few days and likes to lie on her belly. It turns out it could hear the baby's heartbeat a long time ago. Animals really have a keen sense of perception."

Holding Nan Yuan'er's ultrasound report, Mengmeng tilted her head and looked at it for a long time. She gently pointed to the little sprout on it and asked in a soft voice, "Auntie~~ Is this the baby? Why does it look just like the little sprouts that grow on the vegetables I planted?"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at her innocent words.

Gu Jingsi couldn't help but rub her little head and nodded with a smile: "Yes, baby is just like this little sprout now."

Mengmeng excitedly jumped and climbed onto Nan Yuan'er's belly, pressing her little face tightly against hers, and listened attentively for a while.

She asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Did Xiao Hei really hear the baby's heartbeat too?"

Little Black meowed and proudly raised its head, "Of course I heard you!"

However, because the Gu family has been concerned about Ruolan recently, this cat hasn't said much.

Mengmeng blinked her big eyes and asked Nan Yuan'er in confusion, "Auntie, won't the baby be lonely? Won't he be bored in my belly?"

Nan Yuan'er smiled and touched Mengmeng's little face, saying, "No, Auntie talks to the baby every day, so he won't be lonely."

Mengmeng then asked, "So what does he eat every day? Does he eat the same food as me?"

Nan Yuan'er smiled and explained, "The baby is still small and can only eat the nutrition from Auntie's belly. When he grows up, he can eat with Mengmeng."

Mengmeng frowned, nodded as if she understood, and had a hint of envy in her eyes.

"Then I will talk to my baby every day, so he can recognize me when he is born!"

Her adorable appearance warmed everyone's hearts.

The Gu family members looked at each other, and long-lost smiles appeared on their faces.

Mengmeng gently lay on Nan Yuan'er's belly, whispering softly.

"Mother……"

The tiny sound silenced everyone in the room for a moment.

Mengmeng seemed lost in her own thoughts, her eyes becoming hazy.

She thought of Ruolan's mother in the ice room, and also of her biological mother whom she had never met.

A faint trace of melancholy appeared on her tender little face, making one's heart ache beyond words.

Gu Shiyu's eyes narrowed, and he quickly stepped forward to hug Mengmeng, gently comforting her.

"Mengmeng, don't be sad, we will always be with you."

Nan Yuan'er stepped forward and hugged Mengmeng, whispering, "Mengmeng, if you'd like, Auntie can be your mother, okay?"

Upon hearing Nan Yuan'er's words, a smile immediately appeared on Mengmeng's adorable little face.

She nodded vigorously, wrapped her arms around Nan Yuan'er's neck, and snuggled against her happily as if she had found someone to lean on.

Gu Shiyu watched this scene quietly, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

He realized that, with their warm companionship, Mengmeng occasionally revealed her longing and doubts about her biological mother.

Mengmeng has never met his biological mother, and he has never even bothered to investigate her background.

Gu Shiyu secretly made up his mind that perhaps he should learn about Mengmeng's past.

The only person who might know the truth is the headmistress.

When she returns from the capital, perhaps she can explore this long-buried memory and help Mengmeng rediscover her lost family ties.

night is deep,

Gu Shiyu gently coaxed Mengmeng to sleep.

Mengmeng carefully selected a pretty little dress and placed it on the bedside table to prepare for her first day of kindergarten tomorrow.

"Brother, should we bring some gifts for our friends tomorrow?"

Mengmeng's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and her little face was adorned with a soft, sweet smile.

Gu Shiyu thought for a moment and gently patted her head.

"Sure, we can make some pastries together, like rose petal cakes, which are sweet and fragrant."

Upon hearing this, Mengmeng's little face immediately lit up with a satisfied smile, and she nodded happily.

"Okay! I'll get up early tomorrow and do it with my brother!"

"Okay, I'll wake you up tomorrow morning."

Gu Shiyu softly agreed and sat down on the edge of the bed to read her a bedtime story.

As Mengmeng listened to the story, she gradually closed her eyes and began to snore softly.

Gu Shiyu gazed at her quietly. Mengmeng's little face was peaceful and innocent. The little white fox beside her had also crawled into the quilt, resting its head on Mengmeng's arm, revealing its fluffy little head.

This heartwarming scene filled Gu Shiyu's heart with warmth.

He took out his phone and captured the moment in a photo.

Gu Shiyu looked down at the photo he had just taken on his phone. In the photo, a cute little face was buried in a soft pillow, long eyelashes were slightly lowered, and a serene smile was on her lips.

She held the blanket tightly in one small hand, and under her other hand, a fluffy little white fox rested its head on her arm, its little head slightly close to hers, sleeping soundly with its eyes closed.

The two little faces nestled together, like a scene from a fairy tale.

As Gu Shiyu looked at the photo, a gentle smile crept onto his lips, and he couldn't resist setting it as his phone's screensaver.

Then, with a smile, he quietly left the room.
