"Daddy, is Liangjingjing staying at our house today?"

Holding a steamed bun, Xiao Anman tilted her little head up and looked at Gu Tingxiao.

Looking at Zhong Jiayi, who was holding her daughter's little hand, Gu Tingxiao's eyes were a little serious.

If Xiao Anman had just returned, and considering the need to take care of her feelings, Gu Tingxiao would most likely not agree to let Zhong Jiayi stay overnight.

Yes, Gu Tingxiao would not tolerate anyone who might try to deceive his sweet and lovely daughter.

We must nip any potential problems in the bud.

However, considering that Xiao Anman had been "frightened" outside these past few days (this was mainly Gu Tingxiao's own thought), it would be good for her to have someone with her, so Gu Tingxiao agreed.

"Great! Daddy, can Sparkling sleep with me?"

"Can."

Gu Tingxiao gritted his teeth, and while agreeing, he didn't forget to glance at the little blue-eyed boy next to him one last time.

Awesome!

I successfully invited a child to my home for the first time! Although objectively speaking, Zhong Jiayi came to my door on her own, it didn't stop Xiao Anman from being happy about it for a long time.

After the big meal, Xiao Anmanpei arranged for her to take a bubble bath.

An'an had originally planned to bring Liangjingjing and Doubao along.

However, no matter which one he brought, his father, Gu Tingxiao, refused him without hesitation.

No way, Gu Tingxiao would ever agree to that.

Xiao Anman didn't understand the vast chasm between men and women, but she was always an easy-going person.

So Xiao Anman put down the steamed bun and obediently followed her aunt to take a bath.

Helian Min needed to treat Doubao, so she picked Doubao up and left the living room.

The remaining tall Gu Tingxiao and Zhong Jiayi exchanged glances. Gu Tingxiao, realizing his own identity, had some snacks prepared for Zhong Jiayi and then went to his study.

Aside from Xiao Anman, Gu Tingxiao had never coaxed any other children, and their interactions felt a little strange.

So Gu Tingxiao simply gave up on staying with his friend Xiao Anman.

Ahem, in Assistant Zhou's heart, President Gu, who has become a super dad, is still the same President Gu. Only Xiao Anman is an exception.

Zhong Jiayi hadn't expected his brother to leave him here.

However, Zhong Jiayi actually wanted to spend more time with Xiao An, since she was his friend who had just come back after such a big incident, and he was still a little worried about her.

For Zhong Jiayi in particular, Xiao Anman was his first true friend.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Anman huddled in the closet with him during the thunder that day, or perhaps it was because Zhong Jiayi discovered his fear of thunder, knowing something but saying nothing.

Or perhaps it was even earlier, on the day they first met, the day the kindergarten dealt with the fight, when Xiao Anman shared that sweet candy with him.

Anyway, if you asked Zhong Jiayi to count his friends on his fingers, Xiao Anman would definitely be number one.

Xiao An, enjoying a bubble bath, clung comfortably to the edge of the tub. White foam floated on top of colorful bubbles the size of a palm, accompanied by a row of little yellow ducks. Her chubby arms, like lotus roots, splashed in the water, and her eyes were narrowed into slits as she blissfully enjoyed the hot bath.

As Zhang Ma helped bathe Xiao Anman, she looked at her adorable little face and couldn't help but feel a surge of affection.

The hot water made her little face flushed, and whether it was wiping her back or washing her face, Xiao Anman obediently let her do as she pleased.

She has an incredibly good temper.

From the time Xiao Anman entered the Gu family until Gu Tingxiao began to pamper her, Xiao Anman never showed any signs of being spoiled or arrogant.

Perhaps in Gu Tingxiao's heart, she would prefer the child to be raised a little more spoiled, but her nature has always been kind, so she did not change in any way because of the change in environment.

Helian Min shaved Doubao's fur, on the spot where it was injured, about the size of the bottom of a wine bottle.

In Helian Min's view, he was saving Doubao's life; it was just shaving, nothing serious. Besides, it wasn't like the fur wouldn't grow back.

But when Xiao Anman finished her bath and went to Helian Min's place to pick up Doubao, the first thing she noticed was the bald patch on the side of Doubao's abdomen.

What's going on?

An An blinked, almost doubting whether this was her own Doubao.

Human, what's wrong with you? Why do you make that face when you see me?

Thanks to Helian Min's miraculous healing, Doubao, who was almost fully recovered, jumped in front of Xiao Anman and cried out, "Awoo~"

The more this dog howled, the more it started to resemble a husky, for some reason.

"Doubao, your tummy..."

Stomach? What stomach? What are you talking about, human?

Are they jealous of my good looks?

The lively and energetic Doubao, who can run around everywhere, has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

Seeing Xiao Anman's puzzled look, Helian Min naturally explained it to him.

Is Doubao injured?

Xiao Anman hadn't noticed the problem before, but when she heard Helian Min say that, she quickly squatted down and picked up Doubao, the 'wounded' who was jumping around happily in front of her.

Hey human, are you trying to strangle me?

The sudden loving bear hug caught Grandpa Doubao off guard, and he howled and whimpered in Xiao Anman's arms, trying to assert his presence.

I'm so frustrated! You want to go find another dog? Humph! I won't let you have your way.
