The Mu brothers watched An Bao and Mu Yun happily slurping noodles, unable to help but twitch their mouths.

They said that as soon as they entered, there was a strong smell, like someone had dumped several pounds of poop in the house...

After all that, it turns out these two are eating snail noodles?

When Anbao saw Mu Yunyit and the others come back, he waved his hand excitedly and shouted: “Uncle, come eat! There's still a lot of snail noodles. Anbao asked Uncle Chen to cook a lot, so you can have a good meal!”

An Bao greeted several uncles enthusiastically, while Chen the Butler on the side maintained a polite smile and slightly bowed to them, saying, “I’ll go serve you all right away.”

"????? "

"!!!"

They were all a group of industry elites, and the Mu family was also the kind that had never been poor. Which would have ever eaten snail noodles?

Does this fit their persona?

You made the domineering president, gold medal lawyer, medical genius... slurp powder?

It's utterly disgraceful!

But under An Bao's sparkling eyes...

"Well, alright. Have a little bit."

"Well, it's nothing much. I mainly just want to eat with Anbao."

The Mu brothers all sat down one after another, then looked as if they were facing a great enemy.

However, after taking the first bite, everyone's eyes softened slightly.

Mu Yun looked very experienced as he beckoned to several of his brothers, saying, “This snail noodles are delicious, and with this fried egg, it’s even more amazing!”

"Look, this egg is fried to a golden crisp, soaking in the broth of snail noodles. It's absorbed all the flavor of the broth but still maintains its crispy texture. Just one bite…"

Mu Yun warmed up one side while saying, she was operating with a fried egg in her hand. Taking a bite, the crispy fried egg burst with juice!

He couldn't help but squint his eyes, savoring every bite with a blissful expression. "Mmm, delicious!" he murmured. "The rich broth and the crispy fried egg—the combination is simply stimulating to the taste buds!"

"Oh, and we have to try this tiger's paw too, it just slips off the bone after a suck… ouch…"

Mu Yunwu seemed to have opened a food review channel, describing the dishes vividly and performing with great passion as he spoke. The Mu family brothers watched in surprise.

And Anbao couldn't find enough words to describe it. So, hearing Mu Yun's words, he nodded repeatedly and earnestly agreed, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, what Uncle Wu said is right!"

All in all, this night was destined to be a stinky one, but...

The Mu family brothers and the little dumpling were full of contentment.

All those large bowls of snail noodle soup were blinded by them!

Several people lay on the couch, their bellies full, eyes half-closed in contentment.

After a moment, Mu Yunyi suddenly spoke to An Bao, "By the way, An Bao, does Xiaofeng have to be nurtured in that dragon vein?"

When Anbao heard this, the happy expression on her face immediately vanished.

She lay on the sofa, one hand resting on the Phoenix Egg, stroking it absently and sighing helplessly: "Hmm... But even if An Bao went to speak to them, they wouldn't agree, would they?"

After all, it's a dragon vein. How could she possibly let Xiaofengfeng in so easily?

Mu Yunyi, hearing this, flashed a few calculating gleams in his eyes and smiled, "What if it's them who need you?"

"Huh?"

Anbao tilted her head in confusion, looking utterly puzzled.

What on earth were those people asking her to do?

Mu Yunyi didn't explain. He just combined the information he had gathered these days and already had some plans in mind.

He didn't continue, after all things weren't set in stone yet. It was better not to let An Bao get her hopes up prematurely.

And at this moment, the Bai family's house was also brightly lit.

The old man Bai looked at Liang Ling, whose eyes were red-rimmed, and after coaxing Bai Yelin to sleep, he sighed in the hall, “Alright, you don’t have to blame yourself. It’s good that Xiao Bao is alright.”

Li Rong stood aside and, hearing this, hurriedly grabbed Liang Ling's hand and patted it. She chimed in to comfort her: "That's right, third sister-in-law, don't feel guilty. Little Bao is blessed by heaven and has good fortune; he also had the help of noble people."

After a moment, Li Rong glanced at Bai Jinghang beside her, as if exchanging something in their eyes. She seemed hesitant about whether to speak or not.

But after some thought, she still ignored Bai Jinghang's gaze and hesitantly opened her mouth to advise Liang Ling: "It's just that this time it was pure luck. I know you, Third Sister-in-law, want to take care of the children yourself because you feel more secure that way, but..."

"You have limited energy on your own, and your third brother isn't home during the day. Xiao Bao is growing up slowly, he can only crawl now, in two months he will be walking. Then it will be even more tiring for you to take care of him. I think..."

"Maybe you could find an aunt to help take care of him? Children grow up, after all, and we have to let go eventually, don't we?"

After Li Rong finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Their Bai family was considered quite wealthy, so logically, when a child was born, they would definitely have many people helping to take care of it.

Even when Bai Yansheng and Bai Ying were young, they were almost raised by their aunt.

But Bai Yanlin was different.

Everyone in the Bai family knows that Liang Ling suffered a lot for Bai Yanlin's sake.

Moreover, the existence of Liang Ling's previous child who accidentally drowned and died made it impossible for her to trust anyone.

Therefore, after Bai Yelin was born, Liang Ling had been taking care of him all by herself, just afraid that Bai Yelin would also repeat the same mistakes as his elder sister.

But sometimes, the more careful you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, just like Bai Yelin almost got lost twice this time.

This matter is actually also a secret that the Bai family cannot speak of. Everyone is afraid that Liang Ling will think too much, so no one dares to mention it.

Now that Li Rong is talking about this, everyone feels a little nervous, afraid that Liang Ling will be too rejecting and make things awkward for everyone.

But she didn't expect Liang Ling to refuse immediately. Instead, she glanced at Li Rong and then, with a strained smile, nodded slightly: "Okay, I will consider it. Thank you, sister-in-law."

Upon hearing Liang Ling's words, everyone was taken aback. Could this be... a slip of the tongue?

Although there wasn't an immediate agreement, the fact that they're now willing to discuss it is a huge step forward!

After all, if it were in the past, Liang Ling would probably have walked away with a cold face and a flick of her sleeves.

Li Rong saw the door and excitedly pulled Liang Ling's hand, saying, "Good, good, you think about it carefully. Just so happens that my sister-in-law's aunt has a lot of experience. My sister-in-law's children are all grown up now. If you need it, I can tell them and they would probably be willing to part with it."

After everyone left, Liang Ling followed Bai Jingqi back to their own room.

The couple looked at each other in silence.

After a long silence, Bai Jingqi let out a sigh and took Liang Ling's hand, squeezing it tightly. He opened his mouth and said, "Wife, actually, the past should be left in the past. Even if Nannan was still here, she probably wouldn't want to see you like this..."

Liang Ling heard Bai Jingqi's words and couldn't help but burst into tears again.

She didn't answer, but got up and walked to a corner of the dressing room, taking out some little girl's dresses. As she took them out, she smoothed them and said, "The weather will be good tomorrow, so we can take Nannan's clothes out to dry. She used to love these dresses the most."

"Wife…"

Daji Qiao's goddaughter is four and a half years old, and she is loved to the heavens by her six uncles.
