Because there was nothing wrong with her, Luo Baiyun came back to the villa after an hour. When he entered the building, Sun Xumei rushed towards him worriedly. 

When she saw the sleeping Luo Lixi in the man's arms, she became worried and asked anxiously. "Where did you bring her earlier?! What's wrong with her?" 

Sun Xumei stepped ahead and tried to take Luo Lixi but Luo Baiyun avoided her approach and said without any expression, "Nothing, just got a shock. She's just sleeping. Don't wake her up." 

"What?! Shock!..." Sun Xumei was startled.

Then, the man bypassed her, went to the new bedroom on the first floor and laid Luo Lixi on the middle of the bed. 

Sun Xumei looked at her and then turned at Luo Baiyun. "Did she get an electric shock?" 

The latter ignored her and walked out with a stern face. In the bed, Luo Lixi clenched the quilt tightly and whimpered with a pale face. Sun Xumei was overwhelmed by the scene and went to sit on the bed. 

"Good girl. Mother is here. Don't be scared." Sun Xumei patted Luo Lixi's belly and murmured. After getting the reassuring words of the lady, Luo Lixi stopped making any sound and finally fell into a deep slumber. 

But even then, she would whimper in her sleep and move around. Sun Xumei didn't sleep the whole night. She continued to keep a strict check on Luo Lixi and sent back the maid who came to take care of the little one. 

"My little baby, Why is your face showing pain?" Sun Xumei whispered with confusion and then glanced at the door. Since Luo Baiyun had left Luo Lixi on the bed, the man didn't come back.

Sun Xumei's felt uncertain by the behaviour of Luo Baiyun. Not to say, he avoided her question. If she wasn't sure that he wouldn't do anything to harm Luo Lixi, she would've quarrelled right away when the man ignored her!



In the dawn.

Luo Lixi woke up and sat up on the bed with a blank expression. Her dress and hair were messed up. When she felt a subtle movement on the bed, she yawned and murmured while patting her cheeks.

"Ruming, ask the maid to give me morning tea. My head hurts." After saying groggily, she dropped on the bed again and wrapped herself with the blanket. 

Sun Xumei stared at the ceiling and then turned at the little lump beside her. 'Ruming, whose that?'



By the time morning came, Luo Lixi already forgot what she had said in her half-conscious state. Sun Xumei's motherly heart was worried for Luo Lixi and thus, she tried to stuff her with a bunch of nutritious food but Luo Lixi refused to eat. 

"Don't force her." Luo Baiyun said while looking at them. One was trying to stuff food, another was retreating her head again and again. 

"How can you act so indifferent?! She's sick! If I don't care about her, she won't recover!" Sun Xumei said angrily as she tried to grab Luo Lixi by hand but the latter slipped away again. 

Luo Baiyun couldn't unsee this anymore. He glanced at Luo Lixi and commented gravely, "Don't work up your mother. She didn't sleep the whole night."

Luo Lixi paused. Sun Xumei took this chance and grabbed her hand. "Got you! Now, say 'Aaaa~'."

"... Aaaa~" Luo Lixi opened her little mouth widely with a little hesitation and stared at her mother obediently. In the next moment, a lot of chicken meat was pushed into her mouth. When the heavy rich taste of butter assaulted her sense, Luo Lixi began to cry in her mind. 

'My grand plan of having a zero figure… is getting destroyed day by day!' With a creased face, she chewed with a lot of heartache along with headaches!

"Pfft~" Luo Baiyun couldn't control his expression and made a sound. Luo Lixi swirled her head and glanced at him pitifully. 

"Don't waste food. Finish this little bowl. Say 'Aaaa~'." Sun Xumei tugged at Luo Lixi's arm and demanded as she held the spoon filled with meat in front of Luo Lixi. 

Luo Baiyun smirked when he saw Luo Lixi's face deeming. The little face turned to her mother and she opened her mouth with difficulty, "Ah… Ahh… Aaaa~"

Sun Xumei's lips twisted by watching Luo Lixi's reluctant face. Nonetheless, she was happy and cheerfully pushed the food inside the little pouting mouth. Anyway, this all was to cherish her daughter's health thus nothing mattered as long as she ate properly.

'So… that's how I gained weight in that life...' Luo Lixi fell deep in thought as she fiddled with her tiny fingers. Her mind felt tired just thinking how Sun Xumei doted on her. 

While she wasn't watching, Sun Xumei took another big serving of chicken meat and dropped a cube of butter in the bowl. Luo Baiyun's smile broadened upon seeing this. 

Right that moment, Butler Yue came towards the dining table and announced while looking at Luo Baiyun, "Young master, Xiao Chi from the main mansion has come to take little miss."

Luo Lixi's moving mouth froze as she turned around and spotted Xiao Chi behind the butler. She didn't wait for her father and spread her arms towards the maid, "Sister, take me with you~"

"Ah? No! Not now! You didn't eat properly!" Sun Xumei didn't care about anyone as she quaked. Her motherly heart was not satisfied with just a little amount of chicken, she wanted her daughter to be strong enough to fight off sickness!

"I'm full~ How much do you want my tummy to hold?!" Staring at her mother, she exclaimed disdainfully. Then, she turned at the maid and called out cutely, "Sister, hug~"

However, contrary to her expectation, Xiao Chi didn't move to take her and glanced at her mother. Luo Lixi understood that if her mother didn't give permission, Xiao Chi wouldn't take her. 

Sun Xumei smiled victoriously and then put the spoon over her mouth and gently nudged, "Eat!"

But, how could she do it obediently when her words were ignored by others… again?! Even though her mind was that of an adult, Luo Lixi felt the great desire to go against her mother. Even she wasn't aware of that and moved her face away and showed them her back. 

"I won't!" After yelling out angrily, she went down from the chair and ran outside. Xiao Chi followed her without saying anything while Sun Xumei's face turned black. 

"Cough! Don't force her. It only makes her more stubborn…" Luo Baiyun gently said and then took the little bowl from Sun Xumei's hand. 

"What do you know?! I don't want her to become weak! Just look at her body, it's so light! I am afraid…" Sun Xumei spoke worriedly as she glared at Luo Baiyun. 

While gritting her teeth, she whispered menacingly, "Who was it that drank all my milk?! I should have stopped you! My daughter wouldn't have become so weak today!"

"Cough!" Luo Baiyun made an innocent face as he turned to his assistant and stood up, "Hong Lan, do we have any important meeting today?"

The other person nodded his head and then checked his watch, "Sir, it will start in 3 hours. So, you can take your time. I will wait here for you." The man forced out a smile and stood straight with no movement just behind Butler Yue. 

"I'm done. Let's go." Luo Baiyun spoke out hurriedly and then walked towards the entrance of the villa. Before stepping out, he turned back and shouted towards Sun Xumei, "I will accompany Xixi to the mansion. Take care!"

"Pfft~" Sun Xumei choked on her water and turned towards the entrance. With a dejected mood, she cried out, "She's sick! Don't send her there!"

"She'll be fine." While showing his back, Luo Baiyun waved and walked away. Sun Xumei clutched her clothes and then turned to look at the empty dining room. Except for the maids and Butler, she was the only one. 

'If you send her away… with whom will I spend time?...' The things she hated the most was being left alone and things going out of control, and at that moment, two things happened simultaneously. 

Sun Xumei stood with a frown and entered her new bedroom. She locked it from inside and said to the maid who was supposed to come into the room, "I'll be resting now. Don't call me."

"Yes." The maid replied and then left. 

"Huff! What to do?!" Sun Xumei whispered as she glanced around the empty room. After thinking for a while, her eyes lit up and she walked towards one corner of the room happily. 



When her steps fell on the soil of the Luo Mansion, Luo Lixi turned into a bird and ran towards the old lady standing at the entrance. 

"Grandma~" Luo Lixi called out happily. 

Madam Tang picked up Luo Lixi and hugged her tightly, she smiled and then replied "Aye, my good child. I missed you so much!" 

"Me too~" Luo Lixi replied excitedly and then rubbed her face on the cheek of Madam Tang. In return, the old lady chuckled and then turned to the man beside her. 

"Husband, don't stand here. You can go to the company with Baiyun today…" Madam Tang remarked meaningfully as she saw Luo Baiyun's car standing at the entrance. 

Luo Qintian glanced at Madam Tang and then at Luo Lixi. Afterwards, he started to walk towards the car in silence. Luo Lixi's eyes followed Luo Qintian's figure for some moments. Then, without any hesitation, she cried out happily, "Goodbye, grandfather~"

Hearing the sweet voice, all of them turned to Luo Lixi. However, she was unmoved under their heavy gazes and waved her hand at Luo Qintian cheerfully, "I will wait for you~"

After staying silent for a minute, Luo Qintian nodded at her and replied in his stern face, "Alright. I will come back earlier then."

"Okay~" Luo Lixi continued to wave at him enthusiastically. Looking at her innocent face, Luo Qintian's face softened as he added, "Good child."

When Luo Lixi heard it, her eyes subconsciously went to her father. In other people's eyes, she was still smiling but in Luo Baiyun's eyes, he saw endless smugness.

'She's definitely a ghost!' Luo Baiyun cried out in his heart! 'But, a cute ghost~'
