Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

After leaving Qianqian's place, Su Yan paused briefly, gathered her thoughts, then turned and headed toward Yan Jie's room.

Yan Jie was already up by this time, and had quickly packed his belongings.

He sat at the desk, yet his heart was full of hesitation. He very much wanted to go see Qianqian, but felt he had already grown up and should observe proper boundaries between men and women.

This conflicted mood left him sitting there, at a loss for what to do.

Just as Yan Jie struggled internally, Su Yan gently pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing her, Yan Jie hurriedly stood up and called with a smile, "Auntie, good morning!"

Looking at the well-behaved Yan Jie before her, Su Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of affection. She smiled and replied, "Jie'er, good morning! How did you sleep last night?"

Yan Jie hastily answered, "I slept quite well, Auntie, thank you for your concern."

Su Yan nodded, then said, "Qianqian is already awake. If you've finished packing, you can go find her to play."

Hearing this, Yan Jie's heart instantly leapt with joy. He said gratefully, "Thank you for telling me, Auntie. I'll go find Elder Sister right away."

Su Yan smiled, "We're all family, no need to be so polite. Remember to come have breakfast with Qianqian later; it's not too late to set off after eating."

Yan Jie nodded repeatedly, responding, "Mm-hmm, I understand, Auntie."

Seeing Yan Jie so sensible, Su Yan felt very relieved. She didn't say anything more, turned and left the room, leaving Yan Jie alone there, full of joy as he prepared to go find Qianqian.

Meanwhile, in the dining hall at this moment, it was peaceful and harmonious. Bai Yu had arrived early, his mood somewhat excited, because last night a thought had lingered in his mind — whether Yan Jie was truly his biological grandson. This idea made him toss and turn, unable to sleep.

Originally, Bai Yu still worried he might not wake up this morning, after all he had fallen asleep quite late last night.

However, unexpectedly, he actually dreamed that Yan Jie truly was his biological grandson, which made him overjoyed and he laughed himself awake.

After that, he could no longer fall asleep, so he simply got up, washed, and came to the dining hall.

Simultaneously, Bai Zi Ang had gone to bed earlier last night because he had to go out today. Plus Su Yan also rose early, so the two met in the dining hall and waited together for the others to arrive.

Not long after, Su Yan also walked in. She said softly, "Father, Husband, I've already informed Qianqian and Jie'er. They'll come to the dining hall for the meal once they've finished packing."

Bai Yu smiled and replied, "Yan'er, you've worked hard. Sit down and rest a while; there's nothing else for now."

Seeing this, Bai Zi Ang immediately stood up and pulled out a chair for Su Yan so she could sit comfortably. Bai Yu watched this scene, feeling very satisfied. He smiled and nodded, expressing approval of Bai Zi Ang's behavior.

After another while, the dining hall door was slowly pushed open, and Bai Zihang and Wei Shengsheng walked in together.

Surprisingly, both their faces bore obvious dark circles, as if neither had slept well last night.

This gave Bai Yu a big fright. He stared at the two with a face full of shock and asked, "What did you two do last night? Why do you look like you didn't sleep?"

Wei Shengsheng yawned as she walked slowly to her seat, plopped down, and replied listlessly, "Oh, we packed too late yesterday, and lying in bed I was too excited to fall asleep no matter what."

Bai Yu listened and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Then if you get sleepy later, catch a nap in the carriage."

Hearing this, Wei Shengsheng instantly widened her eyes and retorted, "How can that do, Father! I'm the daughter of the Wulin Alliance Leader, how can I ride in a carriage? That would be too embarrassing!"

Bai Yu gave her an annoyed glare and said irritably, "That's still no excuse for fatigued driving. Safety first!"

Seeing her father's attitude was firm, Wei Shengsheng could only reluctantly mutter, "Fine..."

Just then, Qianqian and Yan Jie walked in together. The moment they entered, they first bowed respectfully to Bai Yu and greeted, "Grandpa Bai, good morning. Uncles and Aunties, good morning."

Seeing this, Bai Yu hurriedly smiled and called, "Sit quickly, children. Let's eat!"

Hearing Bai Yu's words, Su Yan immediately instructed the servants to start serving dishes. Before long, a sumptuous spread filled the table.

Wei Shengsheng's gaze fell on Qianqian's hair. She saw that today Qianqian had styled an exquisite bun, looking exceptionally fresh and lovely.

Wei Shengsheng couldn't help but exclaim, "Qianqian, your bun looks so pretty today! No matter what hairstyle you wear you're beautiful, but still, it's not as pretty as the one I did for you yesterday!"

Qianqian heard this, smiled faintly, and replied modestly, "That's because Second Auntie's skill is superb. It's not something ordinary people can compare to!"

Hearing Qianqian's words, Wei Shengsheng felt delighted inside; the smile on her lips simply couldn't be suppressed, harder to hold back than an AK.

As they spoke, one exquisite dish after another was brought to the table. These were all common morning foods, light in flavor: rice porridge, steamed buns, shrimp dumplings, scallion pancakes, and the family's own pickled vegetables.

Everyone was already starving. Seeing the food served, they all picked up their chopsticks.

Just as everyone was eating with relish, Bai Yun Lan walked in unhurriedly. The moment he stepped through the door, his gaze landed on his parents who were eating.

Though he felt some impulse, he still restrained himself, greeted everyone first, then walked unhurriedly to the table and sat down.

The moment his bottom hit the seat, Bai Yun Lan couldn't wait to ask, "Father, Mother, where did you two sneak off to last night? Look at those dark circles, black as pandas!"

Hearing this, Wei Shengsheng instantly flared up. She glared at Bai Yun Lan and scolded, "You little brat, don't go looking for a beating first thing in the morning!"

However, Bai Yun Lan didn't take it to heart, still looking at his mother with a playful grin. Bai Yu saw this and quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Alright alright, you — one day without making your mother angry and you're uncomfortable all over."

Hearing his grandfather's words, Bai Yun Lan chuckled, didn't talk back further, and obediently sat down to eat.

Right then, Qianqian suddenly realized Bai Yunzheng hadn't come. Her gaze involuntarily drifted to Bai Yunzheng's seat, and a trace of doubt rose in her heart.

Su Yan, sitting opposite Qianqian, was sharp-minded and immediately noticed Qianqian's oddness.

She followed Qianqian's gaze and instantly understood her thoughts, so she smiled and explained, "Zheng'er got up very early today and went up the mountain."
