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

"Thank you on behalf of Dad." Tang Tang's face regained its usual smile.

After Dad ate the powder Mengmeng gave him last time, he regained feeling in his legs. Now she is very much looking forward to seeing what amazing changes will occur when he eats the fruits and vegetables Mengmeng gives him.

After school, Mengmeng and Tangtang walked hand in hand toward the school gate.

Tangtang spotted her father at a glance in the crowd.

Tang Yibai sat in his wheelchair, holding a lollipop that Tang Tang loved. "Tangtang!"

"Daddy~" Tang Tang excitedly ran towards Tang Yibai.

The little body rushed into a warm embrace. Tangtang was so excited that she didn't know what to do, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Daddy, why did you come to pick me up in person today?"

Since the car accident, Tang Yibai has locked himself in his room every day. He hasn't even come out of his room, let alone picked Tang Tang up from school.

Tang Yibai looked at his daughter's joyful yet bewildered expression and stroked her hair tenderly, saying, "Daddy will come to pick up my Tangtang from now on."

"really?"

Faced with Tang Tang's questioning, Tang Yibai nodded in response.

Looking at the father and daughter snuggling together affectionately, Mengmeng felt genuinely happy for Tangtang.

"Oh, right, Dad, this is Mengmeng, the girl I told you about. She's really amazing!" Tang Tang stepped out of Tang Yibai's arms and introduced Mengmeng behind him to Tang Yibai.

Tang Yibai came today not only to pick up Tang Tang from school, but also to see what kind of child she was, who could restore feeling to his almost hopeless leg with ordinary things.

Looking at the child who was about the same age as his own daughter, he felt a sense of unreality.

"Is it her?" Tang Yibai asked.

Mengmeng nodded, and led Tang Yibai by the hand.

"Hello Uncle Tang, I'm Mengmeng. Your leg will get better soon, and you'll even have a chance to participate in the Olympics," Mengmeng said earnestly.

Olympic Games?

Tang Yibai felt that those three words were very distant. Although he had regained feeling in his legs, the idea of ​​being able to participate in the Olympics was simply unthinkable.

Faced with the children's blessings, he didn't want to dampen their spirits, so he smiled and replied, "Thank you for not only giving me hope but also taking care of my Tangtang."

The car accident left Tangtang without a finger, and she was bullied by other children at kindergarten because of it. He knew about this all along, but because of the disability in both legs caused by the accident, he could only shut himself off and not focus on anything in the outside world.

Looking back now, his cowardice betrayed Tangtang, who loved him the most.

Tang Yibai wiped his eyes with his sleeve, feeling embarrassed. "Mengmeng, come visit us at home sometime."

"Yes, Uncle, but I need to talk to my mom and dad first, otherwise they'll worry about me." After Mengmeng finished speaking, Gu Shiche got out of the car that had been parked in the distance.

"Wow! So handsome!"

"He looks like a handsome young man who stepped out of a manga!"

"Is she a celebrity? I've never seen her before."

Those present watched Gu Shiche walk in and sighed with emotion.

Little Tangtang also became infatuated and turned her head to discuss it with Mengmeng, but saw a figure quickly run past her.

"Second Brother~" Mengmeng stopped just as she was about to get close to Gu Shiche. She had wanted to throw herself into Gu Shiche's arms, just like Gu Shiyu used to greet her. But she had never been intimate with Gu Shiche before, and she was worried that it would displease him.

Seeing the little bundle of cuteness struggling in front of him, Gu Shiche smiled and squatted down to pick her up from the ground.

"Second brother?" Mengmeng looked at herself, already in Gu Shiche's arms, incredulously. "Why are you the one picking me up today?"

"You don't want to see me?" Gu Shiche asked nervously.

Gu Shiyu went to invite Master Mancang, while Gu Yinshen, due to the uninvited arrival of Old Madam Gu, needed to stay home to soothe Ruolan's emotions. The heavy responsibility of bringing Mengmeng home fell on Gu Shiche's shoulders.

Is my second brother angry because of what I just said?

That won't do! She likes her second brother, and she can't let him ignore her!

Mengmeng grabbed Gu Shiche's hand and shook her arm playfully, "Mengmeng really, really wanted to see Second Brother, but Mengmeng didn't expect Second Brother to come and take Mengmeng home. Will Second Brother come again tomorrow?"

tomorrow?

Gu Shiche was unable to respond for a moment.

He hadn't left the house in a long time; if it weren't for Mengmeng, he would probably still be hiding in his dark room, living a life of utter despair.

Facing Mengmeng's expectant gaze, Gu Shiche nodded, "Mengmeng wants me to come, so I will come to pick you up every day."

"Great, great~ Mengmeng can go home with her second brother every day~" Mengmeng happily spun around in circles.

Those around them watched this scene with envious glances.

Tangtang snapped out of her shock and cautiously tugged at Mengmeng's sleeve. "Mengmeng, is this your brother?"

"Yes! Tangtang, let me introduce you. This is my second brother." Mengmeng said, turning to Gu Shiche, "Brother, this is Tangtang, my best friend in kindergarten. That's her dad, Uncle Tang, a very good swimmer. He'll win an Olympic gold medal in swimming someday!"

As Gu Shiche listened to Mengmeng's introduction, his gaze involuntarily fell on Tang Yibai's legs.

A swimmer in a wheelchair?

Mengmeng must have misspoke; it was the Paralympics, not the Olympics.

Having experienced painful and dark days, Gu Shiche understood and sympathized with Tang Yibai's current feelings and emotions. He didn't keep his gaze fixed on Tang Yibai; instead, he politely nodded and left with Mengmeng.

Meanwhile, Tangtang was still muttering, "Daddy, Mengmeng's brother is so handsome!"

"Is Mengmeng a child of the Gu family?" Tang Yibai asked.

He knew Gu Shiche; he had seen his profile in the newspaper before. He never imagined Mengmeng was the child of the Gu family, a noble European duke. No wonder she was so accomplished at such a young age.

Back home, Mengmeng found the large living room empty. Turning to Gu Shiche, she asked, "Brother, where are Dad and Mom? Haven't they come back yet?"

"They're probably on holiday," Gu Shiche said, glancing towards the second floor.

When he went out to pick up Tangtang, Gu Yinshen was comforting Ruolan, while Old Madam Gu left angrily.

It seems some things can no longer be kept secret!

Gu Shiche withdrew his gaze, and Mengmeng beside him was already walking towards the stairs to the second floor.

"Mengmeng, where are you going?"

"I'm going to find my mom and dad."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yinshen appeared.

He looked exhausted, aged more than ten years, and stubble had grown on his chin in an instant.

"Dad?" Mengmeng called softly.
