The little girl had a very long dream. She dreamt that she was in a very cold place, and she kept calling for her mother and brother because she was so cold, but no one paid any attention to her.

Suddenly, a sun rose above her head, its rays warming her and surrounding her with blooming flowers.

Finally, she was woken up by the heat.

As soon as the little dumpling opened its eyes, it saw five people standing in front of the bed.

She blinked her big, wide eyes blankly; she didn't recognize any of the other three people besides her brother and uncle.

"Brother~" the little dumpling called out to Mu Jinnian softly.

But then she bit her lip and turned her head away.

Upon hearing the familiar baby voice, Mu Jinnian's throat tightened, and her eyes immediately reddened.

"Little dumpling, your brother is back." Mu Jinnian reached out to touch the little dumpling's face, but she dodged away.

The little dumpling rolled over, moved to the innermost part of the bed, and remained silent.

this??

The five powerful men, who had once dominated the government, were instantly stunned and didn't know what to do.

Mu Jinnian felt a dull ache in his heart; only he knew that the little dumpling was angry with him.

"Little dumpling, your brother was wrong," Mu Jinnian said slowly.

"But it's not that your brother doesn't want you anymore, it's that he's going to find our father."

"Now your brother has brought Father and his three older brothers to see you."

After Mu Jinnian finished speaking, the remaining four men also spoke up one after another.

"Yes, Daddy has come to pick up Little Dumpling from school."

"Little dumpling, you don't have to be afraid anymore, your brothers are here to pick you up."

Five men surrounded the bed, speaking softly, afraid of startling their little one.

The little dumpling's shoulders trembled slightly, and she turned around with her eyes red.

"Father? Brother?"

The little dumpling looked at the unfamiliar men and tentatively called out softly, her tone full of caution.

The moment the baby's voice rang out, the five grown men's eyes reddened, their hearts melting as if they had been touched.

"Little dumpling, my precious daughter!" Mu Ting could no longer suppress his fatherly love and reached out to hug the baby.

He dared not use force, afraid of hurting his daughter.

His beloved daughter had suffered, and from now on, he would never let anyone bully her again.

The little girl was stunned. Was this her father?

And the uncle in front of her, is he her brother?

The other two strangers were also her brothers?

Sensing the little dumpling's curious gaze, the three men wiped away tears from the corners of their eyes and spoke one by one:

"Little dumpling, I'm your big brother."

"I am the second brother."

"I am the third brother."

The little dumpling nodded, remembering them all. She threw off the thick woolen blanket and rolled over to get out of bed.

"Little dumpling, you just woke up and need to rest. Tell Daddy if you need anything."

Mu Ting was worried that the little girl would get cold, so he quickly covered her with the blanket.

The little dumpling thought for a moment and then said:

"It's a bit hot."

Mu Jinxuan slapped Mu Jinnian on the head, "It's all your fault, you've got so many charcoal braziers in the room, hurry up and remove some of them."

Are there many?

Mu Jinnian looked around the room; there were dozens of charcoal braziers, leaving almost no room to step.

Okay! That's a lot indeed.

The four sons of the Mu family quickly removed some of the charcoal braziers.

"What else does the little dumpling want?" Mu Jinchen bent down and asked.

"I want to get some water."

As soon as the little girl finished speaking, before she could even get out of bed, a maidservant brought over a cup of tea.

Mu Jinchen took the teacup, blew on it, and held it to the little dumpling's lips.

"Little dumpling, drink slowly, be careful it's hot."

The little dumpling took a sip; the warm tea was sweet and had an apricot aroma.

She rarely drank hot tea, and even less often tea made from fruit.

The little dumpling finished its drink in one gulp and then prepared to pour itself another cup.

To her surprise, the maidservant beside her had already poured the liquid and was handing it to her with both hands.

"Thank you, sister."

After the little dumpling finished thanking them, it was then that it accepted the tea.

Upon hearing this, the maid immediately knelt down on the ground with a thud.

How could she possibly deserve a thank you from the young lady of the Mu family!

The little boy was startled. When he saw the maid suddenly kneel down, he thought it was Madam Li who had arrived.

He shuddered and spilled the tea in his hand.

She closed her eyes tightly in fear and burrowed herself under the covers.

"Please, Madam Li, don't punish me, please don't punish me."

The little dumpling huddled under the covers, sobbing.

The thought of Madam Li's ferocious face and the strange look in Li the rich man's eyes made her tremble with fear.

Hearing the little dumpling's words, the five men of the Mu family felt as if their hearts were being torn apart.

Mu Ting's murderous intent suddenly arose.

Mu Jinyi quickly dismissed all the servants and maids from the room.

"Little dumpling, don't be afraid. Your brother and father are here. No one will bully you anymore."

Mu Jinnian held the curled-up little bundle in his arms and gently comforted him.

Hearing her brother's voice, the little dumpling cried even harder.

She clenched her small hands into fists and punched Mu Jinnian repeatedly.

"My brother abandoned me. My brother is a bad guy. Waaah, you big bad guy."

"Madam Li is a bad person, and so is Master Li. They both bully me."

"The little dumpling kept looking for her brother, but she couldn't find him."

Mu Jinnian let the little dumpling vent her emotions, and tears finally streamed down her face.

Hearing the little dumpling's words, Mu Jinchen finally realized what was going on.

It turns out that the little dumpling went up the mountain that day to find Mu Jinnian and her mother.

Mu Jinchen felt a pain in his throat, walked outside, and punched the wall.

“Don’t be afraid, little dumpling. Madam Li and the rich man Li have been arrested by the authorities for their bad deeds, and they won’t be seen again. Father and brother will not abandon you again,” Mu Tingzheng said.

“Let’s go home together. With Second Brother here, no one will dare to bully Little Dumpling anymore,” Mu Jinyi said.

“Third brother will also protect Xiaotuanzi, and Grandpa and Grandma are waiting for Xiaotuanzi to come home,” Mu Jinxuan said.

Hearing everyone's comforting words, the little dumpling gradually stopped crying.

She choked back tears and peeked her little head out from Mu Jinnian's arms to look at Mu Tingzheng.

"Dad??" The little dumpling stopped talking and said, "Can you help me save Sister Xiaofen? Madam Li said she's going to sell her."

Mu Ting felt a pang of pain in his heart; this child wasn't used to calling him "father" yet.

He concealed his sadness and smiled, nodding at the little dumpling.

The door was suddenly opened, and a delicious aroma of food wafted in.

Mu Jinchen instructed the servants to carry a table full of food into the room.

These meals are kept warm so that the little one can eat them as soon as he wakes up.

Mu Jinchen took out the gold-inlaid jade necklace and personally put it on the little dumpling.

He ordered people to repair it overnight and even engraved the little dumpling's name on it—Mu Jintuan.

From now on, this necklace will belong exclusively to his sister.

The little dumpling touched the necklace with delight, its eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter.

This was taken away by Madam Li, but unexpectedly, her uncle—no, her older brother—found it again.

The little baby, who had been looking worried, finally smiled, and the five men of the Mu family felt a little better as well.

Mu Jinchen reached out his hand to the little dumpling and said, "Big brother will carry the little dumpling to eat."

The little dumpling nodded and happily snuggled into Mu Jinchen's arms.

Her tummy started growling when she smelled the aroma of the food.

The second and third sons of the Mu family looked at their eldest brother's back with resentment.

The eldest brother beat them to it; they haven't even held the little dumpling yet!

The table was laden with delicacies, many of which the little girl had never tried before. Her father and brothers patiently introduced each dish to her.

Eight-treasure wild duck, fish slices in cream sauce, stir-fried squid strips, braised pigeon in a casserole, fried scallops... Little Dumpling couldn't finish it all with just her little mouth. In the end, she ate until her belly was round and full, snuggled in Mu Jinchen's arms, and burped, which made everyone laugh.

Before finding their little dumpling, they never knew that eating a meal could bring them such happiness and joy.

After finishing their meal, the little dumpling drank the medicinal soup that Mu Jinyi and Mu Jinxuan personally fed her.

Before long, the little guy, having eaten and drunk his fill, became sleepy and started to take a nap.

The five men of the Mu family looked at the little bundle of joy on the bed, their eyes filled with tenderness.

Their little baby looks so adorable when he's asleep, it's impossible not to love him.

Mu Ting ordered several maids and guards to stay in the room, and then quietly withdrew with his four sons.

As soon as they stepped outside, the five people, who had just been all smiles, immediately turned cold and walked toward the backyard with murderous intent.
