In the room.

Luo Chenxi hugged the little dumpling and managed to make her stop crying after some intense coaxing.

The little dumpling"s eyes were red as she hugged Luo Chenxi"s neck tightly. She pouted her lips as she said, “Big Sister, Tang Tang only wants Big Sister. I don"t want Grandma and Auntie anymore! They are all bad people!”

Luo Chenxi hugged the little dumpling when she saw the little dumpling"s pitiful look.

She comforted the little dumpling in a low voice, “Alright, Alright, we"ll do as you say.”

The little dumpling blinked her big eyes and said, “Then, Big Sister must always be with Tang Tang, forever and ever.”

“Err…”

Luo Chenxi hesitated for a moment when she heard this.

"I"m only the subst.i.tute bride of the Mu Family which is meant to be temporary.

"I might have to leave very soon.

"So, it would be unrealistic to say that I would always be together with Tang Tang."

When she saw that Luo Chenxi didn"t say anything, the little dumpling"s big eyes became misty again. “Uwuu, Big sister doesn"t like Tang Tang anymore.”

“No, of course not!”Luo Chenxi could only hug her tightly. “Big Sister will always stay with you, okay?”

The little dumpling"s tears instantly stopped and a brilliant smile appeared on her face.

She had stopped her tears so quickly that anyone would wonder if she was faking it just now.

She raised her chubby hand and stretched out her little finger.

“Then let"s pinky swear!”

“Okay, pinky swear.”

Luo Chenxi also stretched out her little finger and hooked it with hers.

“We"ve pinky sweared, so if Big Sister lies, you"re a little dog,” said the little dumpling with a serious expression.

“Okay, the person who lies is a little dog!”

Luo Chenxi hugged the soft little body in her arms and suddenly felt a little stuffy in her heart.

"Mommy"s surgery is probably going to be scheduled very soon.

"When that happens, I"m definitely going to have to leave the Mu Family.

"However, I really can"t bear to part with the little dumpling! What should I do?

"Moreover…"

A peerlessly handsome face suddenly appeared in her mind.

Whenever she thought that she would not be able to see that exquisitely handsome face anymore, she actually felt a burst of heartache.

"D*mn me and my tendency for liking handsome looks!

"I should be content with being able to admire a model husband, it"s impossible for him to become my husband exclusively."

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Someone knocked on the door.

Luo Chenxi put down the little dumpling and turned around to open the door.

Mu Yichen"s handsome and cold face showed up behind the door.

Luo Chenxi"s face was a little red when she thought about how she was just thinking about this man just now.

Mu Yichen glanced at her and said, “It"s time for dinner, bring Tang Tang downstairs.”

Luo Chenxi frowned when she thought about Tan Yueru and the others.

She was not afraid of what Tan Yueru would say about her. Instead, she was worried that they would s.n.a.t.c.h the little dumpling again and make her cry.

Mu Yichen saw through her worries and explained, “My dad is back in T City to attend a cla.s.s reunion, that"s why my mom"s here as well. She won"t be staying for more than a few days. Besides, I"m Tang Tang"s dad.”

What he meant was that he had the final say about matters related to the little dumpling.

Luo Chenxi felt a little relieved. “That"s good. Right, about what happened downstairs just now… Thank you for believing me and helping me out.”

She thanked him sincerely.

Mu Yichen"s eyes flashed with a strange look. He grabbed her wrist and turned around, pressing her against the door.

“I don"t know if I should believe you…”

Luo Chenxi raised her eyes in surprise as she was suddenly wrapped in the man"s embrace.

Mu Yichen looked at her clear and innocent eyes. His gaze gradually deepened, as if he was trying to see into her heart.

“I"m able to believe now that you"ve really changed. You"re different from how you were three years ago. However, I will only trust you once. If you lie to me…”

The man"s last words were deep and meaningful.

Luo Chenxi"s heart skipped a beat.

"I really did lie to Young Master Mu, plus it isn"t just a small matter!"
