"Mother, you forgot about Xiaoran as soon as Father came back. And Father, you only care about talking to Mother and ignore me."
"Really?" Qiu Yan gently patted Gu Xiaoran's head, the little rascal's words full of jealousy.
"Xiao Ran, you're overthinking it." Gu Qian's eyes never left Qiu Yan as he spoke.
Qiu Yan's eyes were fixed on the man in front of her.
Having lived two lives, this is the first time she has had a man she truly loves. This feeling is something she has never experienced in her previous life.
"Mother is mine." Gu Xiaoran clung tightly to Qiu Yan's sleeve, not wanting to be an abandoned child.
"It's clearly his." Gu Qian suddenly found the brat in front of him a bit of an eyesore.
"Xiao Ran, Daddy will hold you." He stretched out his arms and picked Gu Xiao Ran up high. "You've grown up. You'll get married and have your own wife. So, Yan Yan is Daddy's."
"No, I will never get married. I want to stay with my mother forever. My mother's cooking is so delicious. I want to stay with her forever."
As Gu Xiaoran spoke, she reached out and climbed onto Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan... she doesn't owe these two men anything.
"Xiao Ran, you're just thinking about my cooking skills. When you grow up, you won't think that way anymore."
"No, it won't." Gu Xiaoran nodded firmly.
No, I won't. "Even when I grow up, I won't leave you."
Gu Qian shook his head. Had he created a rival for his love?
He reached out and pulled Gu Xiaoran from Qiu Yan's arms into his own.
"Xiao Ran, you'll be five years old soon. From now on, you can't be this close to my wife anymore."
"No way." Gu Xiaoran frowned slightly, but quickly regained her smile. "Father, can you take me with you this time you leave?"
...In the mountains and forests, Qin Susu and Qiu Ling'er, responding to the swishing sounds of swords, quickly found Bai Lu, who was practicing her swordplay alone.
Seeing Bai Lu's powerful and graceful movements while swimming, Qiu Ling'er felt a pang of envy.
She clapped her hands together and praised them repeatedly.
"Sister Bailu is so amazing..."
"Bai Lu, do you even know that you're pregnant?" Seeing Qiu Ling'er's adoring gaze, Qin Susu said she was not convinced.
It's just swordplay, anyone can do that.
She rubbed her small fists together, smiled, and stepped forward to begin sparring with Bai Lu.
The two exchanged words, but stopped short of reaching a conclusion.
Qiu Ling'er became increasingly envious, and unable to resist the urge, she joined in the exchange.
However, she either nearly flew backwards or got slapped on the buttocks, and the pain brought tears to her eyes.
With her final strike, Bai Lu aimed straight at Qiu Ling'er's face.
Qiu Ling'er was startled and before she could cry out, Bai Lu had already turned her wrist and struck Qin Susu with a palm...
Chest.
Qin Susu's attention was originally focused on Qiu Ling'er.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her breasts and sat down on the ground, stopping the fight.
She is highly skilled in martial arts and is absolutely no less than Bai Lu in a one-on-one fight, but she always suffers losses because she is not focused enough.
She was annoyed.
"Bai Lu, you wouldn't be thinking I'm Ling Qi, would you?"
She nodded; that must be it.
Upon hearing Ling Qi's name, Bai Lu's movements became swift and rapid.
She swung her sword, lunged forward, and struck Qin Susu's neck.
"Bai Lu, stop! Are you serious?" The usually nonchalant Qin Susu had to be on high alert to deal with Bai Lu's fierce attacks.
"Wow, Sister Bailu is so amazing." Qiu Ling'er still looked at her with admiration, which made Qin Susu jealous.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Bai Lu pleadingly and bowed slightly to her, "Sister Bai Lu, may Ling'er become your disciple?"
