Mommy, the wealthy daddy has come to propose again.

The first point alone is enough. As long as I can be with my mommy, it doesn’t matter where I am.

The little guy nodded: "Okay. Then I want to sleep with Mommy tonight, okay?"

He asked with his little face tilted up, his innocent puppy eyes revealing a hint of pleading.

"But Mommy has to go back to grandma's house to sleep and can't stay in the hotel."

Bai Ning said softly, "Ningning, please sleep with Dad tonight. I will come to play with you tomorrow. Grandma is not in a good mood and will beat the children when she gets up. When she is in a better mood, Mommy can bring Ningning to live with us, okay?"

In fact, it was Shen Ruxue who knew that Lan Shining had come to Yuncheng. With her mother's personality, she would definitely force the little guy to be brought back to the Gong family to be raised.

Bai Ning didn't want that. Shi Ning was free, not someone's appendage. It was pointless to fight over him, making him like a trading commodity.

The little guy agreed sensibly: "Okay, I'll listen to Mommy."

Instead of going to his grandmother's house, he would rather stay with his father. After all, he did not have a deep relationship with the Gong family, but he was the child raised by Lan Qichen.

Bai Ning reluctantly said goodbye to the two and returned to the manor again.

It was quiet all around, with only the light in the living room still on, indicating that someone was still awake.

"Ningning, you're back."

Shen Ruxue was the only one in the living room. When she saw Bai Ning coming back, she quickly stood up to greet him.

"I made you some black chicken soup to nourish your body. Remember to drink more."

Even though Bai Ning had already eaten and didn't feel hungry, he still drank two bowls of soup because it was cooked by his mother.

"Mom, why are you still awake so late? Are Grandpa and uncles still in the hospital?"

Bai Ning asked with concern. When she left, Yang Yiran had just woken up. Gong Chenxuan and others were still in the hospital to take care of her, fearing that something might happen.

"No," Shen Ruxue shook her head and said, "Your grandfather is not feeling well and has gone to bed a long time ago. Your father has an appointment tonight and hasn't come back yet. Xiaoming and Xiaoyu are still in the hospital. After all, your aunt has just escaped from life-threatening danger and her condition is still very critical. Someone needs to stay by her bedside to take care of her."

The two brothers Yang Yiran and Gong Ming and Gong Yu were originally from the eldest wife, so it was normal for their family members to stay. The second wife, namely Gong Chenyun's family, left early.

"Oh, so that's it!"

Bai Ning got a general understanding of the situation and felt a little tired. He was about to go upstairs to wash up when he was stopped by Shen Ruxue.

"Ningning, come here, I have something to tell you."

The mother did not choose to talk to her in the living room, but pulled her to her room, closed and locked the door mysteriously, and her frown finally relaxed.

Bai Ning felt that her mother was acting strange today, very different from usual, and asked in confusion: "Mom, just say whatever you want to say. We are at home, and there are no outsiders around. You don't have to be so alert."

The Gong family usually seem to get along well and have a good relationship, and they don't seem like any of them are cunning people.

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Shen Ruxue covered Bai Ning's mouth in fear, and listened vigilantly to the movements outside the door with her ears perked up. She let go only after she was sure that there was no sound.

"Hush! Keep your voice down. Walls have ears."

Bai Ning was even more confused. Was there anything that family members couldn't say directly? Did they have to be careful about others hearing it?

"Mom, what happened?"

Shen Ruxue sighed, took Bai Ning's hand, looked embarrassed, and said helplessly: "Ningning, I should have told you this a long time ago, but I was afraid that you couldn't accept it, so I kept it from you for so long."

Bai Ning stared at his mother's face, did not interrupt, just listened quietly.
