Ziyan happily licked her ice cream, then frowned: "I haven't seen Mom and Dad for a long time. I wonder if they are doing well in Europe. Mom hasn't even video-called me lately... It's so annoying. Why did Dad take Mom so far away? Next time, I must make sure they bring me with them."

Mo Zijiao rubbed her little head: "Uncle Ye and Aunt Nuann have their own lives, and you also have your own friends in Longcheng. Wouldn't you be unhappy if I stayed with you?"

Ziyan thought about it, she was happy, but sometimes when she thought about it, she felt like something was missing...

Perhaps she was missing delicious food. Her mom used to cook all sorts of tasty meals for her, while Ziyáo's cooking skills were definitely below average.

Humans are impossible to be perfect in every way. Ziyān understands this very well, so she is very happy to come and eat with Xīxī's sister.

"Speaking of which, Aunt Xiaonuan hasn't video called me in a long time." Yunqingxi scratched her head, always feeling that something was amiss.

Her predictions were usually accurate, but this inexplicable feeling had never happened to Aunt Xiaonuan before.

"What if... we take a vacation to Europe and visit mom and dad?" Ziyan suggested excitedly.

Yun Qingxi:：“……”

Mo Ziyao: "..."

Night Ziyu: "..."

Three people looked at Ziyan, and they all felt that this little girl was a bit like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

Ye Mingjue took An Xiaonuan away alone precisely to enjoy a more pleasant world of two. If anyone were to intrude and disrupt their little world, heaven knows what kind of "severe punishment" they would face.

That is, she's like a younger version of An Xiaonuan. That's why she never gets scolded by Ye Mingjue. The rest don't have that kind of treatment.

"What are you all looking at me for?" Ziyan touched her nose, a little guilty. "That... that maybe we shouldn't go after all?"

"Well, maybe I won't go. Staying in Longcheng is so much better. Wolf has finally woken up, right? We could gather together and have a barbecue party or something." Mo Ziyao suggested.

"The weather is so hot, why don't we have a pool party?" Ziyan thought for a moment and said.

Before the words could even leave her mouth, they were both refuted by Ye Ziyu and Mo Ziyao.

"No!"

"No!"

Ziyan pouted her small mouth and looked at Yun Qingxi: "Xi Xi sister, Ziyue brother and Ziyao brother are bullying me!"

Yúnqíng was both amused and confused.

She knew Night Ziyu, this big vinegar jar, all too well. She knew he didn't want to have a pool party, eight out of ten because he didn't want others to see her in a swimsuit.

As for Mo Zijiao, he probably thought the same way.

Although these two people don't usually get along, their ideas surprisingly align...

"Let's have a barbecue party indoors so it won't be hot. I'll also ask the housemaid to make more ice cream for you, these flavors today, okay?" Yun Qingxi coaxed Ziyan.

Ye Ziyan then nodded: "Sister Xi Xi is still the best, ..."

Only Xixi would be as patient and gentle with herself as Mommy. Ziyu and Ziyao are simply two big pig hooves, their fierce looks are so annoying!

Mo Ziyao patted his head, feeling that he might have overreacted just now.

He didn't want anyone else to see the little girl in a swimsuit. Such a cute side of hers, of course, could only be seen by him alone.

"Humph, when the time comes, Xixi sister and I will eat, Ziyue brother, you and Ziyao brother are responsible for grilling." Ziyān said fiercely.

She doesn't know how cute she is when she acts all fierce and tough.

"Ziyan, were you raised on Hello Kitty?" Yun Qingxi chuckled.

"I was breastfed, so I'm cute because I inherited it from my mother," Ye Ziyan replied seriously.

Yúnqíng couldn't help but think, if Ziyān also inherited Yè Shushu's traits like Zǐyù and Zǐruì, what kind of cool and sassy little girl would she be?

Meanwhile, in an ancient castle somewhere in Europe.

An Xiaonuan hid in the restroom, for quite a while already.

"Madam Xiaonuan, Madam Xiaonuan, where are you?"

Outside, a servant's voice could be heard, but An Xiaonuan dared not go out.

She stared at the two lines on the pregnancy test, her heart racing. She couldn't accept this—she was… pregnant again!

Although she looks quite young, she is already in her thirties, considered a high-risk pregnancy. She is very worried about the potential dangers if she were to give birth to this child.

And she was certain that the older man would have the same concerns.

If the uncle advised her not to have the baby for her health, what should she do? Should she listen to the uncle or give birth to the child?

If left to her own devices, she would of course plan to keep the baby.

Whether they are boys or girls, they are all her treasures, just like Ziyù, Zìruì, and Ziyān.

I wonder how Ziyù, Zirui, and Ziyan, the three children, will feel. With such a large age gap between them, will they be able to accept it?

An Xiaonuan's head was a mess, she couldn't help but overthink what had happened.

Mingming's uncle paid close attention, and she did too, so how could she suddenly become pregnant?

"Little Warm Madam, Little Warm Madam…"

The servant's voice was getting closer, and he had already pushed open the door to the room.

"I... I'm here." An Xiaonuan could only utter.

The maid let out a long sigh of relief: "Madam Xiaonuan, so you're here. Why aren't you in the master bedroom? I've been looking for you for ages... Master bought your favorite croissants and told me to tell you that they won't be good if they get cold."

An Xiaonuan hummed softly: "You go out first, I'll eat in a while."

After the maid left, she stayed in the bathroom for a while, taking several pregnancy tests to confirm that she was actually pregnant and not just having a faulty test.

After she finished everything, she sighed and quietly threw all the pregnancy tests to the bottom of the trash can, covering them with several paper towels before leaving the bathroom.

Ye Mingjue was downstairs reading the newspaper. The time difference here meant that it was morning, unlike back home.

An Xiaonuan likes to sleep in. Ye Mingjue wouldn't wake her up in the morning. He wakes up very early, so he always goes downstairs quietly by himself to read the newspaper.

It's already past noon, but Xiaonuan is still asleep upstairs. So Ye Mingjue asked the servant to check on her.

In a short while, An Xiaonuan came down from the upstairs.

On the restaurant table, there were her favorite croissants, buttery and fragrant. Usually, she could eat three in one go, but today, smelling that sweet aroma made her feel queasy.

"Xiao Nuan, what's wrong?" Ye Mingjue noticed her distress and his handsome sword brows furrowed slightly.
