"What do you mean by a few steps? Is it even a matter of a few steps? Enough nonsense, I just ordered all the figurines on this whole wall. Come over and help me get them delivered home."

Wu Yue: "!!"

Simply... outrageously extravagant...

After the boy in the black hat hung up the phone, he was about to turn around when he saw a girl who was about 1.62 meters tall standing next to him.

The boy in the black hat stiffened slightly.

Could we have been recognized?

He instinctively stepped back, creating distance.

"that……"

Wu Yue opened her mouth and said politely, "I just heard you say that you wanted to buy all the figurines on the entire wall."

The boy in the black hat looked down at her with his dark, inky eyes. He didn't speak, a stark contrast to his previous witty and eloquent manner. A faint aura of extreme coldness emanated from him.

The girl in the school uniform pointed to the third row diagonally to her side, "I've got my eye on this set of Luffy and the main characters' figures, can you let me have it?"

The girl held her head high, her soft, dark hair tied in a neat ponytail. Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate and beautiful, her eyes clear and bright, like crystal-clear water, sparkling like gemstones, even more natural and pleasing than many of the beauties he had ever seen.

"Hmm." The boy nodded slightly.

In this situation, it would be counterproductive to talk too much and be recognized.

Wu Yue said thank you and happily went to the shop owner to pick up the figurine.

The boy turned to the side and moved a little.

He pulled his black hat down even lower, the brim obscuring his dark eyes. His gaze, through his thick, long, raven-feather-like eyelashes, fell lightly on the smooth, wooden floor, an unreadable emotion hidden in his eyes.

...

...

After buying the figurines, which cost tens of thousands of yuan, Wu Yue felt a little heartache, but since she didn't use her own card, the feeling of heartache quickly passed.

Back at Mushroom Private Kitchen, both Witch Mom and Witch Dad were waiting.

The waiter brought the dishes to the table.

Mr. Wu thoughtfully scalded all the disassembled bowls and chopsticks with boiling water for his daughter.

Recalling the slightly evasive look in her mother's eyes last night, Wu Yue knew that today's meal might be more than just eating.

The system didn't provide her with much information about the Wu family, and she couldn't deduce anything in the short term.

We could only eat quietly and wait for the couple to speak.

After nearly half of the food had been eaten, Father Wu started the conversation.

"Xiaoyue, would you like to have a brother or sister?"

Wu Yue's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly stopped.

? !

Is that explosive right from the start?

As far as she knew, "Wu Yue" was an only child and couldn't possibly have any siblings. So, did her adoptive father have an illegitimate child?

Wu's parents watched Wu Yue cautiously, paying close attention to her every move. When they saw her hand holding the chopsticks pause, a look of shock flashed across their faces.

That look of utter disbelief on his face...

Should they continue talking?

The surrounding air suddenly became quiet, carrying with it a strange sense of awkwardness and eeriness.

Wu Yue slowly raised her head, her throat moved slightly, and she swallowed a piece of frog in her mouth.

"Dad, Mom, just tell me what's wrong." Logically, it should be Wu's mother who's angry about this. But judging from her expression, she doesn't seem like someone with a mistress or a child.

The father hesitated, "Xiaoyue, your father and I are afraid you'll be unhappy."

This turn of events left Wu Yue even more puzzled.

She dislikes people speaking in roundabout ways; it drives her crazy.

Wu Yue said calmly and seriously, "You said it, I won't be shocked or upset no matter what you say. Dad, you don't need to beat around the bush or speak carefully. You gave me my life. If you want to introduce some surprises or excitement into my life, I can accept it."

"Pfft, hehe..."

Mother Wu was amused by Wu Yue's expression. She playfully patted Father Wu's arm, then said seriously, "Little Yue, let Mother say it."

"Um."

Wu Yue looked up.
