"Daddy, Mommy~"

Mengmeng got out of the car and ran into the living room.

The lights were on, but no one was home. Even Aunt Ping and Aunt Xue, who usually tidied the living room, weren't there.

With a puzzled look on her face, Mengmeng searched for them in the room on the first floor.

"Aunt Ping? Aunt Xue? Are you home?" Mengmeng called out their names as she walked.

Gu Shiyu entered and looked up at the second floor.

"Brother, they're not home," Mengmeng said dejectedly.

They couldn't have gone anywhere else at this time. Could something have happened at home before they came back?

"Little White?" Mengmeng called out again.

Strangely, even Xiaobai wasn't home.

Gu Shiyu looked towards the kitchen. The table was clean, with no signs of cooking.

There are currently two possibilities: First, the family members left in the afternoon. Second, after dinner, they cleaned up and went back to their rooms to rest.

To verify whether it was the second possibility, Gu Shiyu went upstairs.

He and Mengmeng lifted their feet at the same time, and the two entered the second-floor corridor one after the other.

"Brother, are Dad and Mom already resting?" Mengmeng asked softly, afraid of disturbing Gu Yinshen and Ruolan who were 'resting'.

Arriving at the door, Gu Shiyu reached out and knocked.

knock knock!

"Mom and Dad, are you resting?"

Mengmeng stayed quietly to the side, worried that Gu Shiyu's knocking would disturb their rest.

A moment later, there was no response from inside the room.

"Brother, it seems they really aren't home!" Mengmeng exclaimed belatedly.

"Mengmeng, you've had a long day, go back to your room and get some sleep," Gu Shiyu said.

Mengmeng felt a little sleepy, but she didn't know where they had all gone, so she was reluctant to go to sleep.

"Brother, can you call Dad? I want to know where they went," Mengmeng pleaded.

Let alone a phone call, even if you asked him to go out and find someone right now, Gu Shiyu would do it immediately.

He took his phone out of his pocket, but there was no call from Gu Yinshen. It seemed they were in a hurry to leave and didn't have time to inform him.

But why are you in such a hurry to leave?

Gu Shiyu couldn't understand it at all, even Gu Shiche wasn't home.

The phone was dialed, but no one answered for a long time.

Suddenly a roar came from the backyard.

"Brother, that's the sound of a leopard!"

Mengmeng excitedly ran towards the back garden.

"So cute~"

"Leopard, why are you the only one here? Where are the others? Do you know where they went?"

The only person we can ask now is the leopard.

The leopard lay down on the ground and rubbed its head against Mengmeng's legs, "They went out."

"When did they go out? Why did they all go out?" Mengmeng was really curious.

It's normal for Mom and Dad to go out; even Little Whitey went out.

"Your dad made up with your mom, and then they went out. Humph, Little White insisted on coming along and didn't want to stay home and play with me!" Leopard complained to Mengmeng, then looked pitiful and snuggled into her arms.

Hearing the news that the two had made up, Mengmeng was overjoyed.

"Great! Mom and Dad are finally back together! Dad won't sigh and sit alone at night anymore. Mom can keep Mengmeng company now!" Mengmeng clapped her hands excitedly.

Mengmeng is happiest and most carefree right now, after a whole night.

Gu Shiyu couldn't help but take out his phone and snap a picture of Mengmeng's smiling face. He then typed the message and clicked send.

[So cute!]

When are you going to bring Mengmeng to the Lu family home to play?

I'm coming to your house tomorrow, it's the weekend.

Lu Rongsheng left a message for Gu Shiyu in the comments section of his WeChat Moments.

Since Mengmeng was kidnapped and nearly died, it has been difficult for outsiders to see her.

Because of Tian Tian's situation, Lu Rongsheng couldn't easily visit the Gu family to look for Mengmeng. But tonight, after seeing Gu Shiyu's post on WeChat Moments, he could no longer suppress his longing.

If the adoption at the orphanage hadn't been a mistake, he would be the one taking pictures of adorable moments with his phone right now.

He tapped on the picture, zoomed in with two fingers, and gazed at the smile on Mengmeng's face with great interest.

……

"Yin Shen, don't let Meng Meng know about the trip to pay respects. I'm worried she'll misunderstand and be upset."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Inside the car, Gu Yinshen had his arm around Ruolan's shoulder.

The misunderstanding between the two was cleared up in the afternoon, and Gu Yinshen had already prepared the cenotaph he had been making for their deceased child.

With the anniversary of their deceased child's death just a few days away, Ruolan begged Gu Yinshen to take her to prepare some items for the memorial service.

Ruolan rolled over in her arms, thinking to herself: Mengmeng wouldn't be petty and jealous. You're all just worrying unnecessarily!

Feeling the soft fur of the little white dog, Ruolan stroked it back and forth with her hand.

The car stopped in front of the Gu family's house, and Gu Yinshen got out first to open the car door for Ruolan.

Seeing that they had arrived home, Xiaobai snuggled in Ruobai's arms, broke free from Ruolan's embrace, and jumped to the ground.

"Little White!" Ruolan called out, and Little White had already run back home.

Just then, Mengmeng returned to the front yard from the back garden. She sensed Xiaobai's presence, and a fluffy white snowball rushed into her arms.

"Little White~" Mengmeng affectionately rubbed her chin against Little White's forehead, "Where did you go? I missed you so much!"

"Sisi~" Little White made a sound, "Mengmeng, I went shopping with your mom and dad."

"Buying things?" Mengmeng was about to ask for clarification when Gu Yinshen and Ruolan walked over.

Their fingers were intertwined, and Ruolan nestled half of her body in Gu Yinshen's arms.

Mengmeng was overjoyed when she saw this.

Mom and Dad have really made up!

"Mengmeng, did you have a good day at school?" Ruolan asked with concern.

She and Gu Yinshen had been arguing these past few days, and she had neglected Mengmeng. Now that she thinks about it, she shouldn't have done that.

Mengmeng skipped and hopped over to the two of them, "Mom and Dad, Mengmeng is very happy today!"

"Really?" Gu Yinshen bent down and picked up Mengmeng with one hand.

On one side is Ruolan, and on the other is Mengmeng; the scene is so warm and happy.

Gu Shiyu watched without feeling jealous.

"Yes, I hope every day can be as happy and joyful as today," Mengmeng said.

Gu Yinshen smiled and coaxed her, "Okay, my Mengmeng, you must be happy every day."

Hearing this, Mengmeng giggled.

Lying in bed at night, Xiaobai nestled against Mengmeng's forehead. "Mengmeng, do you know where your mom and dad went today?"

"What?" Mengmeng rolled over to face Xiaobai.

"They bought offerings and are going to pay respects to their deceased child in a few days. Your mother was worried that you would be sad if you knew, so she asked your father to keep it from you. Mengmeng, are you sad?"

"Why be sad? Xiaobai, I'm very happy right now."
