Mingyao squatted down and looked at him helplessly: "Okay, okay."

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door.

The nanny knocked on the door and asked softly, "Ms. Su, I'm sorry."

"The lightning caused a problem with the electrical box. Repair crews are working on it now, and power will be restored soon."

Mingyao turned to Pei Siyu with a smile: "The power will come back on soon."

The nanny had just left when another set of footsteps sounded.

Mingyao didn't pay much attention, but then the other person suddenly opened the door.

Mingyao looked at the person standing at the door with a puzzled expression, her brows furrowed.

Judging from her figure, she looks like Su Xueya.

Before Mingyao could even ask, the figure suddenly rushed over at top speed.

Without warning, she suddenly grabbed Mingyao's arm and cried out, "Waaah, I'm so scared."

Mingyao: "?"

Su Xueya is so brave, when did she ever become afraid of lightning?

With a snap, the dark room suddenly became bright.

Su Xueya looked up with tears streaming down her face, her expression extremely affected.

When she saw Mingyao's face, Su Xueya's expression froze.

She looked at the arm she was holding in her arms, then at Mingyao, and exclaimed, "Ah!"

Su Xueya's voice was extremely shrill, as if glass had been pierced into her ear.

Mingyao looked at Su Xueya with obvious disdain and said unhappily, "Why are you suddenly yelling like that?"

She pulled her arm away and felt nauseous looking at the tears on it.

Su Xueya covered her head and screamed incessantly.

"You, didn't you go out?"

Mingyao was completely confused and didn't understand what Su Xueya was talking about.

"My husband and I are sleeping, why would I go out?"

Su Xueya was devastated. She had always thought that the person she was holding was Pei Siyu. Who would have thought it was Ming Yao?

Her screams woke up both Grandpa Su and Grandma Su.

Suddenly, many people flooded into the empty room. Everyone stared at each other, not knowing what was going on.

"What happened?"

The first person to break it was Grandpa Su.

Su Xueya lowered her head, her face burning red.

She wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground right now. Before she could explain, Mingyao said with a forced smile, "Grandpa, my sister was so scared that she accidentally wandered into our room."

"She was just clinging to my arm and wailing, and after the call came in, I don't know what she saw, she suddenly started screaming."

Su Xueya glared at Ming Yao with resentment, her sharp, knife-like eyes seeming to want to tear Ming Yao to pieces and devour her.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Su Xueya up and down to look her over.

"It's good that everyone is alright, it's good that everyone is alright."

Grandpa Su's questioning gaze swept across Su Xueya's face, and he asked coldly, "Did you really come to the wrong room because you were scared?"

Su Xueya's heart jumped into her throat. She looked away from Old Master Su's penetrating eyes, her heart pounding with anxiety.

Grandpa Su had seen countless people, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through all her thoughts.

To hide her guilt, large tears rolled down Su Xueya's cheeks as she murmured, "Grandpa, it's all my fault."

"Waaah, I was so scared, I only did it in a panic..."

The old lady couldn't bear to see Su Xueya cry, so she quickly came over to comfort her.

She glared at her husband with displeasure: "The child was just frightened, why are you scaring her like this?"

Grandpa Su frowned, dismissed the nanny, and told Mingyao and Pei Siyu to get some rest.

The next day.

Mingyao and Pei Siyu got up early to have breakfast. Halfway through their meal, a tired-looking scholar named Su came downstairs.

She rubbed her temples, her face and neck still bearing the marks left by Mingyao yesterday.

Mingyao suddenly remembered Su Qiqiang's words and looked at Old Master Su.

"Grandpa, Pei Siyu and I want to stay in our hometown for a while longer."

The old lady's eyes lit up, and she said with great joy, "Great!"

"With you and Xiaoxue here, your grandfather and I won't be too lonely."

The old lady first served Mingyao a dish, then served Su Xueya a dish, but glared at Su Xiu with displeasure in her eyes.

“Your aunt and uncle are rarely home, sometimes for ten days or half a month. If it weren’t for the two of you coming back, who knows when they would have returned.”

Su Xiu took a sip of congee and said with dissatisfaction, "Mom, my brothers and I are so busy with work, how can we have time to come back?"

She pinched Su Yao's cheek and asked, "Is it Yao Yao?"

Su Yao was eating obediently when Su Xiu pinched him, and his eyes visibly reddened.

Su Xiu panicked, "Did I... pinch too hard?"

She panicked and hurriedly tried to comfort Su Yao.

No one could figure out Su Yao's temper, and the old lady couldn't help but start nagging Su Xiu.

"You, you can't do anything right except work."

Su Xiu felt wronged but didn't argue. She tried her best to make Su Yao happy.

But Su Yao, as if in a fit of pique, lowered his head and remained silent.

Su Xueya volunteered to comfort Su Yao, but before she could even open her mouth, Su Yao burst into tears.

Su Xueya was very annoyed, but dared not show it, so she could only coax Su Yao.

"Yaoyao, come here, this is your favorite cream bun."

"If you eat the cream bun, you'll stop crying, okay?"

When everyone was at a loss and didn't know how to comfort Su Yao, Ming Yao put a cute pig-shaped cream bun on Su Yao's plate.

Su Xueya glanced at Mingyao sideways and said disdainfully, "Sister, do you even know how to coax a child?"

"Su Yao is having an attack; how could a cream bun possibly soothe him?"

However, to his annoyance, Su Yao immediately burst into laughter after picking up the cream bun.

He carefully ate the cream bun, and a smile returned to his face.

Mingyao wiped Su Yao's face with a tissue and looked at Su Xiu: "Auntie, Yao Yao has mysophobia."

"You touched Bai Zhou's hand and pinched him, which made him feel very uncomfortable, so he was unhappy."

Su Xiu: "..."

She quickly wiped her hands clean and apologized to Su Yao.

Su Xueya's smile froze; her smile looked worse than a grimace.

She had just said that Su Yao didn't like cream buns and that he was having an episode, but she was proven wrong so quickly.

After Su Yao finished eating one, Ming Yao gently placed another one on his plate, adding carrots and cabbage, which Su Yao disliked the most.

Both Mrs. Su and Mr. Su looked at Su Yao.

Su Yao used to absolutely avoid these two vegetables, even if they were chopped into a paste, he would spit them out if he accidentally took a bite.

Grandma Su and Grandpa Su tried many methods, but even inviting Su Yao's favorite psychologist didn't help.

"Yaoyao, remember to eat vegetables after you finish your cream bun."

"Eating vegetables can provide more nutrients."

Su Yao didn't resist at all and obediently finished eating the carrots and cabbage on the plate.

Not only that, he wanted to eat more after he finished eating.

When Grandma Su saw this, she was so moved that she almost cried.

"Yaoyao has grown up and is no longer a picky eater."

She looked at Mingyao with great surprise, and her opinion of her changed dramatically.
