That sounded like a pretty sweet deal.
He rubbed Little Meatball’s head. “Good girl. Marry into our family and you’ll have candy everyday.”
“A lot of candy?” Little Meatball was drooling.
“Yes.”
“I want to marry him now.” Little Meatball had an expectant look in her eyes.
The boy went up to them with a solemn look on his face. “Your hand! Let’s go!”
“Hm...” Little Meatball looked conflicted and tried to choose between candy and her brother.
Sheng Yize raised an eyebrow. “Who the hell are you? Have I given you permission to take my daughter-in-law away?”
An Xiaxia said, “Ignore him. He’s just being childish!”
“Hmph, I can see that.” The boy snorted haughtily, looked down, and cast a stern look at Little Meatball. “Are you coming or not?”
Little Meatball sniveled, then put her little hand in his palm obediently.
“Brother, if I go with you, can I still marry their baby?” Little Meatball looked like she was going to cry.
The boy couldn’t take it anymore. “You’re way too young to consider marriage! Say that rubbish again and I – I’ll...”
He stammered, but couldn’t think of anything threatening enough.
After a long while, he finally said, “I’ll stop telling you bedtime stories!”
Little Meatball opened her eyes wide, gave it some thought, then lowered her head without saying a word.
The boy picked her up, said goodbye to An Xiaxia, and glared at Sheng Yize again before taking Little Meatball to Gu Zichen.
Wait...
Sheng Yize and An Xiaxia were baffled.
That cute meatball was his daughter?
Wasn’t Gu Zichen known for his high IQ? Why was his daughter so adorkable?
So, did that mean the mother’s IQ was as important as the father’s?
Sheng Yize gave An Xiaxia a despairing look.
“What are you looking at me for? Am I too dumb for you now?” An Xiaxia pouted. Sheng Yize hesitated a little, then nodded.
An Xiaxia was vexed. “You... hmph! I don’t like you now! Don’t talk to me!”
Sheng Yize sighed. “Let’s hope you’re having two boys. If that’s the case, I can teach them how to get girls. If they’re girls... the thought of them being tricked by some guy some day...”
I want to bang my head against the wall now.
An Xiaxia gave her husband the finger when no one was looking.

In a corner of the banquet.
Mu Li looked at the man sitting beside her and clenched her fists.
Qi Yanxi didn’t come home for a long time after that night and she worked out a plan, playing the poor wife in front of Qi Yanxi’s father. The old man was furious and made Qi Yanxi come back. He then forced his son to take Mu Li to this dinner party.
However, Qi Yanxi sat down in a corner and drank by himself as soon as he arrived. Mu Li couldn’t walk around with her heavy belly and had to sit with him.
Then, they saw Sheng Yize and An Xiaxia, who had come in late.
The couple chose another corner to sit down in. Their affectionate interaction was an eyesore to Mu Li.
She noticed that after the couple arrived, Qi Yanxi reached for more drinks.
“Yanxi... You’ve had too much...” Mu Li tried to persuade him, but Qi Yanxi acted as if she wasn’t there.
A short distance away, Sheng Yize went to talk to Gu Zichen and An Xiaxia was left all by herself.
Seeing this, Qi Yanxi was emboldened by alcohol and went straight up to An Xiaxia.
“Come with me. I need to tell you something. It’s about Brother Mo.” He made up some random excuse.
An Xiaxia believed him and followed him to the balcony.
Clenching her fists, Mu Li followed them out.
What she saw made her open her eyes wide in astonishment.
Qi Yanxi pinned An Xiaxia to the railing and said in a drunken voice, “Xiaxia... I love you...”
