My baby is two and a half years old. Daddy, hurry up and make some milk!

Le Bao watched too much TV today and started blinking frequently, so Tang Wanning took her to the garden outside to look at the green plants and relieve her eye strain.

"Baby, you can't watch so much TV anymore, okay? Your eyes will get sick if you watch too much."

Tang Wanning pulled Le Bao along, explaining things to her as they walked.

Once outside, Le Bao was like a rabbit set free, unable to stay still. She struggled to let her mother hold her hand; she wanted to go into the flower bushes.

Tang Wanning didn't restrain her, and just stood not far away, watching her while talking on the phone with her best friend Lin Zhixia.

That's how things are, and I'm really conflicted about it right now.

"Tang Wanning, you've really made something of yourself! What are you still hesitating about? That's Lu Chenyue. Listen to your sister, go for it!"

When Lin Zhixia over there heard her sisters say that Le Bao's biological father was Lu Chenyue, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. A god in the business world! And the Lu family's influence was unfathomable. This was like falling into a gold mine!

"What are you thinking? Like you said, that's Lu Chenyue. Why would he be interested in me? Let's be realistic, okay?"

She was well aware of her own status; one was the bright moon in the sky, and the other was dust on the ground—a world of difference, one she wouldn't even dare to dream of.

"So what are you going to do next? What about Le Bao? Can you live without her?"

Lin Zhixia knew how important Le Bao was to her best friend, and she could never give the child to the Lu family. However, if the Lu family wanted the child, Tang Wanning had no chance at all.

"I don't know what to do in the future, let's leave it at that for now. At least we're still together. Lu Chenyue told me that Lu's Group is hiring designers, and I'd like to give it a try."

With Le Bao now in the Lu family's care, she had no worries about her safety; Old Master Lu doted on her like the apple of his eye. Taking this opportunity, she also wanted to pursue her dreams and build a career. Even if she left the Lu family in the future, she could still provide Le Bao with a secure future.

The two best friends were chatting casually over there, while Le Bao, who had already been set free, was watching ants move house.

Le Bao squatted on the ground, watching a long line of ants carrying a small piece of bread. To Le Bao, the bread was only the size of a finger, but to the ants, it was a huge object that required them to work together to move it.

So the curious little creature followed the ants' path all the way to their nest. A group of ants began to break down the small piece of bread, carrying it bit by bit into their burrow.

Just as the ants were about to finish their mission, Le Bao extended her evil hand.

Following the lines of the anthill, the little one stretched out her fingers and dug open the anthill little by little. When she got tired of squatting, she simply sat on the ground and began digging into the anthill with both hands.

The ground, which had been watered that morning, was still damp and the soil was loose, making it easier for the little guy to move around.

"Hoo hoo hoo, hehehehe."

When the little guy got tired of digging, he even took deep breaths to cheer himself up.

"Little sister, what are you doing?"

Lu Shulang, who had come out to look for his sister after watching TV, walked over.

"Pot, hole, nest."

Le Bao pointed to the hole that had already been dug out and continued to sit on the ground and dig.

"Little sister, wait here, I'll go get the tools."

Lu Shulang didn't ask his sister why she was digging up the ants' nest; he helped her unconditionally.

A short while later, Lu Shulang returned with two miniature shovels.

"Little sister, use this to dig, quick."

As she spoke, she demonstrated to Le Bao that using this was faster than digging by hand.

"Give me a hug, buddy."

The little one had been sitting on the ground for a while, and her legs were a bit numb. She couldn't get up by herself, so her brother had to pick her up.

Without a word, Lu Shulang threw the shovel on the ground and, with all his might, lifted Le Bao's pigeon coop and slowly dragged her up from the ground. Although the process was arduous, thankfully Le Bao was able to stand up.

By this time, Le Bao was a complete filthy mess, covered in mud from head to toe. Her face and head were covered in mud that she had unintentionally smeared on herself.

The two little ones stood up and started digging little by little with their small shovels.

"This needs some watering, I'll go get some."

The older Lu Shulang already knew how to come up with a solution.

Sure enough, after digging with two small balls, the underground ant nest has begun to take shape and is quite spectacular.

If a child is quiet, they're definitely up to no good.

Tang Wanning, who hadn't heard Le Bao's voice for a long time, hung up the phone and walked behind the two people hidden in the flower bushes:

"Le Bao, Shu Lang, what are you doing?"

Hearing her mother's voice, Le Bao looked up and smiled brightly at her: "Mommy, look, baby is digging."

The moment Le Bao looked up, Tang Wanning's heart sank. Where did this mud-covered monkey come from? Except for its tiny white teeth, there wasn't a single clean spot on its body. Then she looked at Lu Shulang, who was still digging in the dirt with a shovel next to it. Oh no, they'd dragged each other down with them!

"Auntie, look! We've dug up an underground palace!"

All you could see on Lu Shulang's face were his two round eyes. He was now proudly showing off the nest they had dug up.

Tang Wanning's vision blurred as she watched. In just a short while, she realized that these two little ones, who were less than 10 years old combined, had dug such a large hole in the garden.

"Le Bao, Shu Lang, come here, okay?"

She was afraid that the two little ones might accidentally fall into the pit and get hurt by the shovel in her hand.

The two of them were completely oblivious to Tang Wanning's deliberate attempt to lower her voice and suppress her laughter, while she grinned broadly.

At this moment, Grandpa Lu and Lu Yifan also came out to look for someone.

"Baby, what are you and your older brother doing? Let Grandpa see."

Lu Jianguo arrived before he even saw the whole picture.

"Um... this..."

Seeing the scene before him, Lu Yifan, who was walking ahead, didn't know whether to laugh or worry about the two little ones' bottoms.

"Big pot, look, baby's digging."

Le Bao was still showing Lu Yifan the results she had dug up.

"Brother, look! The Dragon Palace! My sister and I have dug up the Dragon Palace!"

Lu Shulang, who was standing nearby, excitedly shared his joy with his brother.

"Le Bao, Shu Lang, what are you doing... hahahahaha, you... hahahahaha."

Upon seeing the two mud monkeys, Lu Jianguo couldn't help but burst into laughter. While laughing, he also took out his phone to take pictures.

Seeing this, Lu Yifan silently took out his phone, pointed it at the two dazed little ones, and couldn't stop smiling.

"Dad, what are you laughing at?"

Lu Chenyue, Lu Feng, and Wen Xian followed them out. The grandfather and grandson had originally come out to call Le Bao and the others back for dinner, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't return. Instead, they heard his father's hearty laughter, so the three of them came out to see what was going on.

"Pfft, hahaha, baby, Shulang, did you two go rolling in the mud? Hahahaha."

Wen Xian and Lu Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight of the two little ones.

Only Lu Chenyue, who has a severe case of mysophobia, and Tang Wanning, who blushed slightly, couldn't laugh.

The two culprits saw the adults laughing and started laughing too.

"No, babies, you two stop laughing, hahaha."

When the two of them laughed, their faces were reduced to just their eyes and teeth, making them even funnier. Even Lu Chenyue couldn't help but smile.

Several adults walked up to the hole the two little ones had dug to see their masterpiece:

"Hey, you know what, this anthill is actually quite aesthetically pleasing, it's pretty good-looking."

The two little ones proudly raised their heads high.

"Alright, let's go back and eat. Have someone come and fill the hole."

After laughing, Lu Jianguo said he was going back to eat.

"Mommy, hug me."

After digging for so long, Le Bao was exhausted and didn't want to walk anymore.

"Walk by yourself, Mom will give you a bath when we get back."

"Baby, let Daddy hold you, Mommy is tired."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jianguo encouraged Le Bao to go and hug his father, Lu Chenyue. The others present immediately became interested; they all wanted to see how the germaphobic father would handle his messy child.

"Daddy, give me a hug."

Le Bao didn't stand on ceremony. When her grandfather said that her mother was tired, she walked up to her father and stretched out her hands.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Lu Chenyue took a deep breath, grabbed Le Bao's clothes, picked him up and left.

The child I was carrying was quite a distance away. Luckily, I exercise regularly and stay physically fit, otherwise, carrying such a small weight would require considerable arm strength.

"Is that even possible?" The people behind him widened their eyes.
