I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

"Ugh...?"

Caught off guard by the question, Gretchen looked up at her with some confusion. But she quickly understood what Fumizuki meant.

“???)……

The blue-haired little girl stared into an eerie silence as she looked at a cool motorcycle and a stylish car parked in the police station's parking lot.

"Heh~ So, have you made your choice?"

Seeing Gretchen's adorable stunned expression, Wen Yue couldn't help but smile, reaching out to pat her little head and saying...

"Hmm... this one will do."

After a moment's hesitation, Gretchen, under Fumizuki's expectant gaze, chose the car.

As for why the little girl made this choice, it wasn't because she disliked motorcycles or thought that Fumizuki's driving skills were too bad, but mainly because... her skirt would fly!

She couldn't even imagine herself riding a motorcycle in this knee-length white dress, especially since she had never worn safety shorts since she transmigrated...

"...Oh dear, I was so careless. I forgot that you were wearing a dress, little one."

Noticing Gretchen's gaze fixed on her skirt, Wen Yue finally realized, "Let's do it another day then. You can change into something more suitable, and Auntie will take you for a drive!"

"it is good!"

Chapter 139 Changing Clothes and Sorrow

After getting into Fumizuki's car, feeling the peaceful atmosphere in the space, Gretchen covered her mouth and yawned, then gently leaned against the person next to her and dozed off.

She wasn't doing this because she was actually sleepy; she simply wanted to take a moment to check the system panel and unlock status, and most importantly, she didn't want Wen Yue, who was beside her, to strike up a conversation or engage in a battle of wits with her.

Regardless of her identity as a little girl, she doesn't really like getting entangled with smart or cunning people. It's such a waste of time and energy, and you might easily get tricked into revealing something.

Although I'm not afraid, it's annoying. I can only say that in the current situation, being a child is really useful.

"..."

Just as Gretsch had expected, Fumizuki did not disturb her after noticing that she was "drowsy".

Not only did he not disturb her, but after giving her a slight smile, he adjusted his posture and gently draped his coat over her shoulders.

After all, who would doubt a cute and innocent little child? There was no pretense of sleeping; he was just too tired from shopping.

"Well……"

Gretchen, noticing the commotion outside, did not open her eyes. She simply muttered something softly and continued to scroll through the system panel in her mind.

Thanks to the brief interaction before and the few hours spent with Hoshiguma this afternoon, Mei's unlock progress is now more than halfway complete.

They'll probably hold hands and go out to play one more time, and the little girl estimates she'll be able to meet "Mei-neechan" soon.

Given that she hadn't seriously looked at the system panel in a long time, Gretchen didn't exit after checking Mei's unlock progress this time, but continued to browse through the character interface.

Having learned from her previous experience, she realized that her system would secretly and quietly add new things without any warning; she had to check and discover them herself.

……

As Wen Yue watched the scenery rushing past the window and noticed that they were getting closer to their destination, she gently patted the door.

She patted the little one leaning against her and said, "We're almost there. Little Gretchen should get up too. Even if you want to sleep, you should eat dinner first."

"Ugh... I understand." Upon hearing this, Greta rubbed her eyes, sat up straight, and replied in a soft voice.

"When we get there, Gretchen, don't be shy. Just make yourself at home. But later you'll meet Wei Yanwu, the guy Xiaota mentioned. Don't be afraid, and you can ignore him if you don't want to." After giving these gentle instructions, Wen Yue couldn't help but reach out and pat Gretchen's head.

"If he yells at you at night, you can come and tell your aunt, and I'll help you teach him a lesson."

"Good~"

Hearing Wen Yue mention this, Gretchen perked up, a hint of excitement flashing in her beautiful purple eyes, and she nodded quickly.

Honestly, she was really eager to see this "traditional program" of the Lungmen Governor's family. Although she already knew that Wei Yanwu was henpecked, she had never seen him in person, whether as a little girl or in any other capacity!

"Ha~"

Wen Yue naturally took in the expression on Gretchen's little face, but she just assumed it was because the child was happy that someone was backing her up. "Then let's get off the bus. The housekeeper at home made a lot of delicious food tonight. I hope you will like it, little Gretchen."

Afterwards, Gretchen followed Wen Yue into the residence. Once inside, she subconsciously began to observe her surroundings, but unfortunately, she did not see Wei Yanwu.

However, the little girl didn't care too much. After all, he was the lord of a city, so it was normal for him to be busy and get off work late.

However, Gretchen was completely unaware that Wei Yanwu was expected to return much later than usual today, and the reason was still because of her.

Because of the little girl's retelling last time, Wen Yue was worried that her husband would come home too early and scare the child, interrupting her good time. So she ordered him to work overtime today, or find something else to do if necessary.

Of course, to prevent anyone from taking this opportunity to sneak out for drinks, Wen Yue also made sure to keep Bai Xue by his side to protect him.

"Dinner will be a little while later. Auntie has prepared some gifts for you, little Gretchen! Let's take a look!" After checking the kitchen first, Wen Yue returned to the living room, looking at the cute little girl sitting on the sofa with a smile and a hint of excitement.

"Well……?"

Upon hearing this, Gretchen looked up, somewhat confused. Then, after meeting Wen Yue's gaze, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

Before she could say anything, the person opposite her stepped forward and pulled her towards a room inside the villa.

Then, very quickly, Gretchen's ominous premonition was confirmed.

"...!"

The blue-haired little girl stared blankly for a moment at the row of neatly hung dresses and clothes in front of her, then realized what was happening and shuddered, instinctively trying to back away.

However, Wen Yue had already lured the little cutie in, so how could she let her go so easily? She immediately turned around and closed the door, cutting off her hopes.

“Oh, little Gretchen, why don’t you try this on? I’ve noticed you’ve been wearing this dress the last few times. Since you’re in Lungmen, why not take a few more back with you?” As she spoke, Wen Yue suppressed the corners of her mouth from turning around, took a dress from the hanger, and looked at Gretchen.

“???)!”

Help! There's a creepy auntie here!!

In the end, the kitten—no, the little girl—couldn't escape the clutches of the furry aunt and was forced to embark on a dress-up journey.

……

Half an hour later——

"Oh dear, it's time to eat. There are still so many dishes I haven't tried yet~ What a pity."

Hearing the sounds coming from outside the door, Wen Yue looked at Gretchen, who had a look of utter despair on her face, with a hint of regret. "But, as expected, my taste hasn't deteriorated. These clothes are perfect for little Gretchen."

"Alright, it's time to eat. You can go change back into your original dress now, or you can wear what you're wearing now, since you're both very cute."

“???)……!”

Gretchen, who had changed into nearly 10 outfits in the past half hour, turned around and rushed into the cubicle to change into a dress the moment she heard Fumizuki's words.

Although the little girl doesn't object to wearing dresses, it doesn't mean she enjoys constantly changing outfits like a dress-up doll and being praised all the time... which makes her feel a bit embarrassed.

"Pfft..."

Wen Yue watched Gretchen's retreating figure, as if she were being chased by some ferocious beast, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. "Gretchen is even cuter than Chen and Ta were when they were little."

After sighing, she seemed to remember something, and her smile faded, replaced by a look of melancholy.

Although Talulah had told Fumizuki in her previous letter that everything was fine on her end, she was still a little worried. After all, many children would put on a brave face in front of their parents, especially given their relationship...

Hopefully, I can get some information out of little Greta later and then offer some help.

P.S.: I'm back, but it's a bit late. Who has good medicine that I take four pills three times a day, and it even smells a bit like cilantro?

Chapter 140 About Talulah...

"Well……?"

Gretchen sat in the dining room, first looking at the abundant and varied dinner in front of her, then at the empty seat next to Fumizuki, and couldn't help but...

She tilted her head slightly, and a question mark appeared on her little head.

"Furry... Is someone missing for dinner?"

"Little Greta refers to Wei Yanwu? Don't worry about him, he's working overtime tonight, so he won't be having dinner with us." Upon hearing this, Wen Yue smiled gently and explained in a mild tone.

"Eat quickly, or it will get cold. If you want to chat, you can do so while you eat. We don't have any strict rules about this in our family, so just relax."

"Uh-huh!"

After hearing Wen Yue's words, Gretchen didn't say anything more. After nodding in agreement, she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat in small bites.

After a couple of bites, the little girl's pretty eyes lit up. She was completely amazed by the chef's culinary skills. Although she wasn't a picky eater, she could still tell the difference between good and bad food.

Having been in Lungmen for so long, Gretchen has been shown many delicious foods, but after this battle, the top spot on the list of most delicious foods has been completely rewritten!

For a fleeting moment, she didn't even want to go back to the Reunion Movement and eat potatoes! Auntie, I'm hungry! Food!

Of course, this was just a thought; the little girl wouldn't be bought off by a meal. Rather than thinking about how to live under someone else's roof and freeload, she'd rather be thinking about poaching the chef.

After all, how could we forget our sisters when there's good food? We definitely have to find a way to bring it back! At the very least, we have to find a way to improve the food there.

Looking into the girl's bright eyes, Wen Yue used serving chopsticks to put some more food on her plate and asked, "How was dinner? Did you enjoy it, Little Grey?"

"Yes, the food at the fluffy family's house is delicious."

Upon hearing this, Gretchen nodded happily at first, then, as if remembering something, her mood shifted to one of disappointment, "But, it would be great if Tarua and the others could try it too..."

"..."

Wen Yue, who was already preoccupied with something, was speechless when she heard Gresh's words. After a moment of silence, she quickly composed herself and said with a smile, "Little Gresh, if you like it, eat more. But since we're on the topic, Auntie has a few questions for you."

"If you answer well, then the wish you just mentioned isn't something that can't be fulfilled!"

"Really???)?"

Seeing that Wen Yue, this huge fish, had taken the bait, Gretchen blinked imperceptibly, then looked at her with a serious expression, waiting for what would happen next.

"Ha~"

Unaware that she was a huge fish in Gretsch's eyes, Fumizuki couldn't help but chuckle when she met Gretsch's expectant eyes. "Of course, I'm a woman of my word... How could a fluffy creature like me lie to such a cute little child as Gretsch?"

"Hmm... then ask me, if I know."

"Don't worry, it won't be anything difficult. For example, little Gretchen, can you tell me what you usually ate at the little tower?" Looking at the adorable little girl in front of her, Wen Yue's voice softened even more.

"Ugh...")

After hearing Wen Yue's simple question, Gretchen roughly understood what the other person was thinking. She thought for a moment, then stretched out her small hand and counted on her fingers, saying truthfully, "In the camp, there are potatoes, vegetable soup, canned soup, meat soup... and occasionally fish soup or something."

"That's it..."

Upon hearing Gretchen's answer, Wen Yue's eyes flashed with understanding, and then she lovingly piled more food onto Gretchen's plate. "Has your camp ever experienced a food shortage?"
