Zhong Li Feiyu was confused. Was Lu Wanqing going to secretly steal Xiao Yi? How could that be possible!
"It shouldn't be. You don't need to worry," Zhong Li Feiyu said, seeing the butler Xiao's worry.
Putting aside their time together, he felt that Lu Wanqing's character wouldn't allow her to do such a thing. Besides Xiao Yi, there were also Mu Lan, Yu Shu, and the Wei family's daughter. Lu Wanqing couldn't possibly take only Xiao Yi and leave the other children.
If she were to abduct Xiao Yi, would she not intend to see the children from the other families again in this lifetime? Otherwise, upon her return, she would surely be discovered and apprehended!
Butler Xiao hesitated, but on second thought, he also felt that Miss Lu wasn't that kind of person.
"Forget it, don't think too much. Let her take whatever she wants. She naturally has her own considerations," Zhong Li Feiyu said, lifting his head.
Although he found it strange that Lu Wanqing was taking those things, this was Lu Wanqing. It seemed alright. Her thoughts were unique, and she often acted according to her own ideas. She arranged everything and wouldn't make mistakes.
Butler Xiao was slightly stunned, but on reflection, he nodded in agreement. "Yes."
Lu Wanqing was unaware of Butler Xiao's inner thoughts. She waited all night and finally collected all the items she had ordered. Piece by piece, categorized, and all stored in her spatial storage.
So many things made her feel very secure. Even if she encountered an accident like last time, she could ensure that she and Xiao Yi would live comfortably.
It was getting late. Lu Wanqing had booked a spaceship ticket to the Ancient Earth Film City for the next day. After taking a shower, she went to Xiao Yi's room to tell him a bedtime story and coax him to sleep.
After finishing a story, Lu Wanqing leaned down and kissed the child's forehead, saying gently, "Sleep early. Goodnight. Wake up early tomorrow, and we'll go out together."
Little Zhong Li Yi's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Okay!"
Lu Wanqing smiled, gently tucked the child's blanket, then stood up and turned to leave.
Lu Wanqing reached the doorway and looked back to turn off the light. She saw Xiao Yi lying in bed, his eyes shining as he looked at her.
"Goodnight~" Lu Wanqing said.
"Goodnight, Mommy too," Little Zhong Li Yi quickly replied, feeling very happy.
Lu Wanqing smiled, turned off the light for the little one, and then left.
Back in her own room, Lu Wanqing couldn't help but feel excited. Ancient Earth Film City... She knew it was all fake, but the thought of the buildings in the videos she had seen, almost identical to 21st-century cities, even with familiar merchant trademarks, made her heart pound uncontrollably. She was very happy.
Lu Wanqing lay down in bed. After a long period of excitement, she finally fell asleep.
The next morning, as dawn was breaking, Lu Wanqing woke up. She checked the time; it was still very early. Perhaps she could go downstairs and make breakfast for everyone?
Lu Wanqing's thoughts made her happy. Breakfast wasn't difficult, and she could definitely make it.
Speaking of which, when she was at the Mu family before, she would get up early every day to make delicious breakfast for Lan Lan. But since coming here, because the children had to train every morning, and with Song Yan's involvement, she hadn't had a proper chance to make breakfast for the children.
With this thought, Lu Wanqing immediately got up and went downstairs.
Butler Xiao had just woken up and was surprised to see her up so early. "Miss Lu, why are you up so early today?"
Lu Wanqing smiled and said, "I just woke up. I'll go see what's in the kitchen. Maybe I can make breakfast for everyone today."
Butler Xiao was surprised to hear this, then quickly became happy. "That would be wonderful. The Marshal will be very pleased when he hears about it."
"What would I be pleased about?" Zhong Li Xing's voice came from upstairs just as Butler Xiao finished speaking.
Lu Wanqing and Butler Xiao turned around together and saw the impeccably dressed Marshal Zhong Li coming down the stairs.
Butler Xiao was slightly stunned, then quickly turned to salute the Marshal. "Good morning, Marshal!"
The word "good morning" was actually learned from Lu Wanqing. It was something Lu Wanqing had casually said during a greeting. Later, everyone understood its meaning and found it nice, so they started greeting each other this way.
"Marshal Zhong Li, good morning," Lu Wanqing quickly chimed in.
"Good morning~" Zhong Li Xing said with a smile, looking at them kindly. "What were you just talking about me?"
Butler Xiao was delighted and quickly said, "Marshal, Miss Lu just came down and said she's planning to make breakfast for everyone today."
Although Lu Wanqing rarely cooked at the Zhong Li family's home, she had cooked before. Butler Xiao hadn't tasted it before, so he didn't know how delicious Lu Wanqing's cooking was. But he had eaten it several times already, so he had a deep impression of how delicious it was!
Marshal Zhong Li's eyes lit up at this. He immediately turned to Lu Wanqing. "Really? You're planning to cook today?"
Lu Wanqing: "..." Why did she suddenly have a bad premonition?
Despite feeling that it wasn't ideal, Lu Wanqing hesitated for a moment before admitting, "Yes."
"Then let's do it together. I was too bad last time. You can teach me properly," Marshal Zhong Li said excitedly.
Lu Wanqing's expression remained unchanged, but she felt a knot of nervousness in her heart. Could this be taught?
However, whether she taught or not, she had to. Lu Wanqing could only agree. "Alright."
Lu Wanqing took Marshal Zhong Li to the kitchen. Not long after, Zhong Li Feiyu and Little Zhong Li Yi likely woke up. The father and son knew that Lu Wanqing and Marshal Zhong Li were making breakfast in the kitchen, so they both came over.
Zhong Li Feiyu was nervous and a little scared. He remembered his father's cooking last time and had a bad feeling!
Little Zhong Li Yi, on the other hand, was excited. He immediately took a step and was about to run towards the kitchen. However, after a couple of steps, the little one suddenly remembered something. When they were at the Mu family last time, Uncle Mu cooked for Mommy, which left a deep impression on the little one. Especially what Mu Lan had said: his dad studied cooking so hard, he would snatch Mommy away, and Mommy would agree to marry Uncle Mu!
"Dad, you should learn to cook too! You need to learn quickly, better than Uncle Mu, so Mommy won't be snatched away by Uncle Mu!" Little Zhong Li Yi turned back to look at his father and said nervously.
Little Zhong Li Yi suddenly remembered that this was important. If Dad couldn't learn to cook, Mommy might be snatched away by Uncle Mu!
"Dad, you must learn to cook, and you must make it tastier than Uncle Mu!!!" In the last sentence, the little one emphasized, looking determined.
Zhong Li Feiyu: "???"
"What do you mean?" Zhong Li Feiyu was bewildered, looking at his son blankly.
How did the topic shift to him? Why did he need to learn to cook, and even better than Uncle Mu... Mu Sijie?
Zhong Li Feiyu pondered and belatedly realized. Mu Sijie learned to cook? Was he planning to use his cooking skills to trick Wanqing into marrying him?
