Butler Mu was stunned and quickly refused, "No, no, Ms. Lu, you should eat it yourself. Don't worry about us."
Lu Wanqing said, "It's fine. Everyone has left. I made so much, I can't eat it all by myself."
Butler Mu hesitated. He had seen Lu Wanqing make the wontons this morning and felt they would be truly delicious.
But...
"No, Ms. Lu, we have rules. The butler and maids are not allowed to dine with the master," Butler Mu suppressed himself and said sternly.
Lu Wanqing saw that Butler Mu didn't seem to be lying. She hesitated, thinking they might really have such a rule, and forcing him to eat would be too much to ask.
"Alright then," Lu Wanqing compromised helplessly.
So much breakfast was actually made. Lu Wanqing couldn't help it. She ate her portion, and the rest was left for Butler Mu to handle.
After breakfast, Lu Wanqing was still worried about Lan Lan. After much thought, she opened her communicator and sent a message to Mu Sijie, asking about the little one's condition.

Meanwhile, Mu Sijie, with little Mu Lan, was indeed at the hospital. They had to go all out with the act. Since they said they would take the child to the hospital, they naturally had to.
However, they weren't at the hospital for no reason. Little Mu Lan wasn't sick, but Mu Sijie had to inquire clearly about Lu Wanqing's situation.
In the hospital independently invested by the Mu family, the hospital could absolutely keep their situation confidential and would do their best to meet their needs.
Mu Sijie handed the hair he had secretly collected from Lu Wanqing to the doctor for testing.
Lu Wanqing sent a message asking about little Mu Lan's condition. Mu Sijie hesitated for a long time before replying.
"It's not a big problem. You don't need to worry too much," Mu Sijie replied.
At home, Lu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the message from Mu Sijie. After reading it, she couldn't help but ask, "How is Lan Lan now? Is he feeling very uncomfortable?"
Lu Wanqing thought, and then sent another message, "Why don't we ask for a day off from kindergarten, and let Lan Lan rest at home for a day?"
At the hospital, Mu Sijie looked at the message from Lu Wanqing. His heart felt a warmth. Whether Lu Wanqing was a zombie or not was still uncertain, but judging by her behavior these past few days, she was a very capable mother and treated Mu Lan very well.
"No need," Mu Sijie thought, his tone softening considerably. He messaged Lu Wanqing, "I will specifically inform the teacher about his condition and ask the teacher to pay extra attention."
Lu Wanqing looked at the message from Mu Sijie and thought about little Mu Lan's condition that morning. It didn't seem very serious.
"Okay," she said, reassured and nodding in agreement.
"I will take him to kindergarten directly later. You don't need to worry," Mu Sijie messaged Lu Wanqing again.
Lu Wanqing looked at the message and replied, "Okay."
Mu Sijie was Mu Lan's father. Moreover, he had taken good care of their child for the past four years while she was away. Lu Wanqing felt she could trust Mu Sijie.
All the necessary questions had been asked, and there was nothing else to inquire about. Their chat ended. Putting down her communicator, Lu Wanqing suddenly felt idle. Her mind was a little blank, and for a moment, she didn't know what to do.
But she quickly remembered the star net pod. She had borrowed Mu Sijie's star net pod to go online yesterday, so she should buy one for herself today.
Lu Wanqing's mood brightened as she thought about it, and she hurried to ask Butler Mu.
Butler Mu was also surprised when he heard that she wanted to buy a star net pod, and then became happy. Just like yesterday, Butler Mu arranged for two maids to accompany her and take her shopping.
The electronics mall was completely different from the daily necessities mall they had visited yesterday. Lu Wanqing was led there and couldn't help but wander around for a whole day, her eyes dazzled by the variety of star net pods.
Lu Wanqing spent the entire morning browsing in the electronics mall before finally buying the star net pod she wanted.
It was noon. It should be time for kindergarten to have their break, right?
Lu Wanqing thought of little Mu Lan being sick. After sending the star net pod home, she messaged Mu Sijie, asking about the child's condition and if there were any dietary restrictions.
Meanwhile, Mu Sijie had waited at the hospital all morning and finally received the hospital's examination results.
The doctor said that Lu Wanqing's biological identification was not significantly different from a normal person. She should be alive and not toxic, and there was no situation of living dead or zombies as depicted in movies.
Relieved, Mu Sijie returned to his company to continue working. Upon receiving Lu Wanqing's message, he replied briefly and did not intend to prevent Lu Wanqing from interacting with the child anymore.
Lu Wanqing was unaware of the undercurrents at play. She received Mu Sijie's message, learned that the little one's illness was simple and had no dietary restrictions, and then went to the kitchen herself to prepare a nutritious lunch for him.
She wanted to visit him at kindergarten. Since he was sick, his mommy should take more care of him.
At the kindergarten, Lu Wanqing brought her homemade lunch, along with some fruit and snacks. She gave some to the teachers and then waited. When the children's class was over, the teacher brought little Mu Lan over.
The children at the kindergarten were extremely curious and especially envious of Mu Lan. His mother had come to see him at noon, which was wonderful. Their mothers never came to see them at kindergarten.
In the rest room, Lu Wanqing's eyes lit up when she saw little Mu Lan being brought by the teacher. She immediately went over, bent down, and scooped the little one up.
Little Mu Lan, once again hugged by his mother, remembered his promise to his aunt and instinctively wanted to pull back. However, Lu Wanqing was too fast, and by the time he reacted, he was already in her arms.
Lu Wanqing held the child, couldn't help but lean down to kiss him, then turned and placed him on a stool in the rest room. She reached out and touched his forehead.
"Are you still feeling unwell?" Lu Wanqing asked with concern.
Little Mu Lan looked at his mother, and he felt his heart beating wildly in his chest again. His mother was nothing like the zombies in the movies. Zombies were ugly and scary, but his mother was beautiful and gentle.
"No," little Mu Lan replied honestly, shaking his head.
Lu Wanqing touched his forehead and felt no signs of fever. The child wasn't coughing or having a runny nose, and his complexion was rosy, looking very well.
Lu Wanqing smiled, raised her hand, and affectionately ruffled the child's soft hair. Then she took out the fruit, snacks, and lunch she had specially brought.
"Mommy brought you lunch," Lu Wanqing said with a smile, her voice very gentle.
