She saw Little Treasure standing far away at the door, Ning Xi waved at the little guy. Little Treasure, come here.

Little Treasure pursed his lips, his hands by his side tightened into fists. Then, he walked slowly to Ning Xi.

Ning Xi rubbed the little buns lowered head. Whats wrong, baby? Why did you hit Chi Shuai? Did Chi Shuai do something wrong?

On the side, Chi Shuai almost started crying from being wronged. Aunty, I didnt! Aunty, I was even praising you! But Master suddenly hit me!

Uhh When Chi Shuai said that, Ning Xi found it even odder. You even praised me?

Haha Fatty Chi! How did you praise her? From behind them came Lu Jinglis chuckle.

Chi Shuai shot Lu Jingli an angry look. Dont call me Fatty Chi! I really praised Aunty. I said she was beautiful!

Lu Jingli looked at Little Treasure, then turned back at Chi Shuai again. Oh? How did you say it?

Chi Shuai tried to recall. I said I said to Master Your stepmother is so beautiful! Right, I said it like that!

Pfft Lu Jingli sighed and shook his head. Fatty Chi, you deserved to be hit! Who told you to jab the babys heart?!

Chi Shuai was still confused. He only felt better when Yan Ruyi brought some snacks over to console him.

Ning Xi seemed to have realized something, so she pulled Little Treasure to a corner. Why did you hit Chi Shuai? Can you tell Mommy?

Little Treasure jumped into Ning Xis embrace all of a sudden. Mommy

Im here!

Mommy!

Hmm.

Youre not not stepmother! Youre Mommy! The little guys clear eyes were filled with stubbornness.

Ning Xis heart felt like it was being chewed on by a green fly as she felt dense pain. She patted the little guys back softly and her voice was extraordinarily gentle. Mmm, Im Mommy.

Inside the study room.

Lu Jingli ran to tell Lu Tingxiao what had happened. Ah, Fatty Chi said something wrong. He said stepmother and jabbed his heart, so in the end, he ate Little Treasures fist. Now, hes run to Ning Xi for caress and comfort.

By the looks of it, Little Treasure still minds. I think the little guy hasnt been in too good of a mood recently, but what can we do? When Ning Xis identity goes public, there will be even more talk like this. In the eyes of other people, Ning Xi is Little Treasures stepmother

When Lu Tingxiao heard his brothers opinion, he looked up from the pile of documents and seemed a little dazed.

Moments later, Lu Tingxiao spoke in a low and raspy voice, Hows the investigation of that matter coming along?

Lu Jingli looked solemn. Bro, you predicted it correctly. The security footages from years ago were indeed tampered with, thats why I was puzzled how could there not be a single trace left behind. I investigated until I was about to go crazy. It turns out that person had sneakily edited a few minutes in the middle. Ive now found a group of experts to recover it the best they can. It shouldnt be too huge of a problem. Its just a matter of time.

Okay.

Lu Tingxiao hesitated for a moment, then he asked, Then Bro, when the thing with Little Treasure is clarified, are you going to tell the truth to Sis-in-law? About Little Treasures history, and that it was you

A long while after, Lu Tingxiao nodded indistinctly. Mmm.

Time flew past and very soon it was Lu Tingxiaos birthday.

This time, the birthday banquet was organized at Imperials top private venue, Heavenly Spring Resort. In fact, preparations had long begun since a few months ago.
