While Bai Miaomiao was still in utter disbelief, Luo Yun had already placed the umbrella in Bai Miaomiao’s hand.

With that, Bai Miaomiao was forced to open the umbrella.

Luo Yun took out a sunblock spray from her bag and sprayed it on her face. “This place is honestly too big. I feel like I’ve been walking for so long that I’m about to melt from the sun.”

Bai Miaomiao was puzzled when she heard Luo Yun complaining about being exposed to the sun. “If you hate being in the sun for so long, then why didn’t you go through the long corridor of flower racks?” That corridor leads directly to the main hall, and you won’t be exposed to the sun throughout the path.”

“I forgot.” Luo Yun then asked calmly, “Bai Qihan, why didn’t you remind me? Did you also forget about it?”

“Didn’t you say you wanted to see the koi fish?” Bai Qihan sounded helpless.

Bai Miaomiao’s eyes flickered. From Bai Qihan’s words, she was quickly able to infer that it had been her fourth sister-in-law who wanted to see the koi in the pond, and her fourth brother then had to endure the heat and accompany her as they took the longer route. However, she was surprised to hear her fourth brother, who had always been cold and indifferent and spoke little, sounding like he was doting on her fourth sister-in-law.

“It’s too hot right now. It would be better to simply wait and come back here at night. There will be light here at that time anyway, so you will still be able to see the koi fish,” said Bai Miaomiao. She did not want them to watch the koi fish on a hot day and show off their love while she held an umbrella for them. She looked at Bai Qihan and said, “Fourth brother, little aunt and her family are here today. Second brother is still on the way, but he should be here soon. It’s been a long time since the house has been so lively. But I know that you don’t like such occasions that much, would you rather I send you upstairs through the side entrance?”

“Since we’re already here, it would be a waste to just avoid everything.”

“Alright, then let’s go to the main hall.”

As Luo Yun listened to Bai Miaomiao’s words, a memory popped up in her head. In the original book, this aunt that Bai Miaomiao had mentioned was described as spoiled, willful, and loose-tongued. She had even said the following lines to Luo Yun, [If this were the ancient times, you would be a servant girl who is bringing fortune to our family through a “warding-off” wedding. However, don’t grow complacent; it seems that you do not even know how to greet your elders when you see them. Did nobody in your family teach you proper manners?]

[Nevertheless, do not think that there is no hope for you in this life. If you give birth to a son with the fourth young master, you will be able to turn things around. However, I have no idea if his body can still even help give birth to a child.]

[You’re so thin and have a bitter face. You don’t look likable at all. Those who don’t know better might think that our Bai family has mistreated you! You truly are lucky that you can marry into the Bai family…]

In the original book, the aunt’s sarcastic remarks about Bai Miaomiao in the later stages became increasingly outrageous. However, she did not dare to do so now.

While she was dwelling in her thoughts, they had already reached the main hall.

“Hey, look at who’s back? So it’s the fourth young master.” Aunt Bai Caiying’s voice rang out. “Little fourth, your legs are no longer working, yet you still came all this way. It has really been hard for you. Seriously, you should know that it’s fine even if you had not come. Everyone knows what your situation is like. No one would blame you if you did not come.”

Bai Qihan said calmly. “It isn’t often that second brother comes back. Moreover, aunt is back as well, so how could I possibly not come?”

Bai Caiying bit her lip and looked at Luo Yun. “It seems that little fourth’s wife is the same as before. It’s as if her lips are stuck together. She does not even greet people when she meets them.”

Luo Yun was the only person here who was not a member of the Bai family, or rather, she was the person on the outermost ring. Because of that, she was naturally the one who ended up being targeted.

When Luo Yun heard this, she made her way to Bai Caiying. She then bowed and greeted her in a standard manner, “Hello, aunt.” She then turned to look at the middle-aged man sitting awkwardly at the side and said, “Hello, uncle.” After that, she patted the head of the child beside them. “I only haven’t seen you for a few months, yet you’ve already grown so big?”

The child slapped her hand away and said unkindly, “Hmph, don’t touch me.”

Bai Qihan’s expression changed slightly when he saw this.

Luo Yun, on the other hand, continued smiling. “It’s normal for boys to have a bit of temper. Anyway, I remember that you’re still in primary school, right?”

“Third grade.” Bai Caiying said arrogantly.

Luo Yun smiled. “You look smart. Your grades must be very good. ”

Hearing her precious son being praised, Bai Caiying surprisingly expressed some humility, “He’s doing alright. He’s only tenth in his grade.”

“Is that so?” Luo Yun said exaggeratedly, “I thought that he would have taken the number one spot. Well, it’s already good enough that he’s in the top ten. Although there are still nine students who are better than him, there are a lot of students in his grade, so the top ten is already quite impressive. He can probably work a bit harder and strive to get in the top three. I see him quite optimistically.”

Although the words were clearly compliments, Bai Caiying could not help but feel uncomfortable when hearing them. She felt that something was off, but she could not find a way to retort. She could only smile and say, “It seems that little fourth’s wife likes children very much. You’ve been married to little fourth for over a year. When are you planning to have children? ”

“We’ll have a child when we have one.” Luo Yun smiled gently.

She answered with an answer that did not seem like an answer.

Bai Caiying did not give up and continued to make snarky remarks.”The daughter-in-law of the Wang family next door has been married for over a year and is already pregnant with a second child.”

“If she has already given birth to one, then isn’t it normal for her second pregnancy to be her second child?” Luo Yun said gently.
