Nonsense! How could my adopted son be a villain?

Lan Jian's eyes flickered, and she stared at Xu Lingguang for a long while before looking away, taking his hand, and giving a soft "hmm".

The two went ahead hand in hand to find Youyu and the others, but before they had gone far, they saw the backs of several little cubs.

Youyu walked at the front, holding a small Qilin in her arms, with a chick on her head, and dragging a seemingly unwilling Muyun along in one hand.

The little ones hurried along, not noticing their older brothers behind them.

Even as she was being dragged along, Mu Yun continued to grumble and complain, "Why are we walking so fast?!"

"Manager Zhuang isn't going to run away!"

As she spoke, she recalled what she had just witnessed and looked at Youyu suspiciously, asking, "Do you know what Xu Lingguang and the others are doing?"

The little kid started spouting nonsense with his limited vocabulary: "They're not doing anything shady, are they?"

Otherwise, why would Youyu drag them away so fast!

Mu Yun was talking complete nonsense, but unexpectedly, it hit the mark. Xu Lingguang, who was about to speak, turned completely red in the face after hearing this.

He said he had just heard some strange noise!

The little one must have seen it when he came looking for them!

Xu Lingguang glared at Lan Jian in anger and embarrassment. He had told her not to do it in the garden, and now look what happened, the little brats saw them.

How am I supposed to explain this to the kids?

Xu Lingguang was completely unprepared to give the little ones a sex education lesson.

He stopped, glared angrily at Lan Jian, and said in a low voice, "Go and explain to them."

Lan Jian gave him a strange look, thought for a moment, then took his hand and strode after the little ones.

Without trying to conceal the noise any longer, the little ones in front immediately heard the footsteps and turned around.

Yu first saw his elder brother and Xu Lingguang striding over, and then quickly noticed their clasped hands. He paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up as he looked at Lan Jian.

He suspects he's about to have a sister-in-law!

The other cubs were completely oblivious to the change in the relationship between the two adults. Upon seeing Xu Lingguang, they jumped off Youyu and excitedly rushed towards him.

Xu Lingguang squatted down and caught them one by one, picked them up to weigh them, and then hugged them in his arms and gave them a good rub.

Mu Yun lay on its back with its four paws in the air, holding Xu Lingguang's hand to prevent him from tickling its armpits.

Xu Lingguang then went to stroke the tangled feathers on the chick's head, and then gently pinched the little unicorn's ears.

Mu Yun's round eyes followed his hand as it moved around, and after staring for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "What were you and Lan Jian doing on the road just now? I saw you hugging each other."

The little kid doesn't understand adult matters and doesn't feel any shame when talking about them.

His big, round eyes were full of straightforward curiosity and doubt.

Xu Lingguang was speechless for a long time, his face turning red. He couldn't help but glance at Lan Jian and give him a meaningful look.

He should just say it!

The little one will definitely ask!

Lan Jian received his curious gaze, cleared her throat, pursed her lips with great restraint, and said in a controlled voice, trying not to show too much emotion, "I'm with your brother Ling Guang now, and he'll be your sister-in-law from now on."

Yu: !!!

As the first little one to react, Youyu was the happiest. Her red eyes had never been so wide open before. She looked at Xu Lingguang with joy and whispered shyly, "Sister-in-law."

Xu Lingguang blushed even more after being called out by him, suspecting that Lan Jian was doing it on purpose.

Lan Jian was indeed doing it on purpose; such a joyous occasion naturally had to be shared with the little ones.

Not just the little one, but everyone else should know this too.

With that in mind, Lan Jian's thoughts began to race.

The other chicks, however, were a bit confused. The chicks weren't quite familiar with human terms of address and asked in bewilderment, "Sister-in-law?"

The little Qilin let out a loud "Aow!" but it was clear it didn't understand.

Mu Yun, however, rolled her eyes twice and asked, "So, will we be living in Ailao Mountain from now on? Will we have to move when we go back? Will you get married? When will you have the wedding?"

As a well-informed treasure-hunting rat, Mu Yun has a good understanding of the relationships between humans.

For example, the little one knows that when two people get married, they have a wedding ceremony and live together.

Although everyone used to live on the same mountain, they didn't actually live together.

Mu Yun quickly considered the options and found that the mountain in Lanjian was very large, and the clan's territory was also very large. He liked it very much, and when they returned to Ailao Mountain, he was willing to move there with Xu Lingguang.

Thinking this, the little boy became even more eager and started gesturing and planning: "When the time comes, we can move the whole cabin over there."

After thinking it over, he realized that although the cabin was small, he really liked the flowers, trees, and toys in the yard, and he couldn't bear to leave any of them behind, so he decided to just move the cabin along with the house.

Xu Lingguang: "..."

Mu Yun's calculations backfired spectacularly. Xu Lingguang poked his chubby double chin speechlessly: "You're quite the schemer!"

They've even figured out how to move.

Mu Yun thought he was praising her and felt very pleased.

He jumped down and spun around twice, even more eager than Xu Lingguang, almost impatient: "Should the wedding be held in Fufeng City or in Ailao Mountain?"

He counted on his fingers and said, "It's best to finalize this as soon as possible. I need to send invitations to my uncle, and to my grandfather too... and to other relatives as well. It would be best if they all came!"

Speaking of her disappointing uncle who is still single, Mu Yun sighed with a sense of frustration.

Xu Lingguang's sense of shame dissipated amidst the little boy's rambling. He pinched the boy's chubby cheeks, both amused and exasperated, and said speechlessly, "It's still early. I'll definitely let you know in advance if that day ever comes."

Lan Jian, who was standing nearby, had indeed taken Mu Yun's words to heart and said thoughtfully, "It's not that early, we really should make some plans."

Xu Lingguang was taken aback and turned to look at him: "What's the plan?"

Lan Jian replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it's about getting married."

Xu Lingguang: "..."

His gaze swept between the self-righteous Lan Jian and the enthusiastic Mu Yun, and he sighed speechlessly, saying, "Please, have some mercy."

Who starts thinking about how many tables to have for their wedding as soon as they start dating?

Seeing that he didn't respond, Lan Jian felt a little uneasy. She looked at him persistently, her stiff, dark eyebrows furrowing: "You don't want to?"

Xu Lingguang tried to explain: "This is not a matter of whether we want to or not; it's too early to talk about this now."

He was completely unprepared for getting married so young!

Lan Jian didn't seem to have listened, still frowning. After staring at Xu Lingguang for a while, she finally hummed in agreement and didn't continue the topic.

Xu Lingguang glanced at him and, seeing that he didn't seem unhappy, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around and seeing the culprit, she couldn't help but pull the little one's chubby cheeks to the sides, muttering, "You always have so many ideas!"
