On the way back, Gu Babu didn't say a single word. Instead, she kept staring out of the window at the scenery flying by, lost in thought. Mo Chen couldn't figure out what was on Gu Babu's mind and couldn't help but ask her, "Babu, don’t you have anything to ask me"

"No," replied Gu Babu lightly, "you’ve talked with Sis, so everything’s fine now"

"What could we possibly have" Mo Chen asked in return. Gu Babu smiled and didn’t answer. Mo Chen fell silent too. The two of them returned home without saying a word. Meanwhile, the men who had gone golfing were back as well. All the women had also come back and were chatting together in the living room. Bai Ye was proposing to build a wall since they had nothing better to do, but everyone thought it pointless. Even though they were getting older, mahjong remained their main form of entertainment during gatherings.

Shortly after Mo Chen and Gu Babu returned, Lin Lin rushed over and told her mom about how beautiful and fun the golf course was. She also praised Little White Uncle for being so handsome that everyone went gaga over him.

Seeing that the kids were happy, Gu Babu herself felt cheerful too. She sat down with a smile to chat with Lin Lin. Mo Chen took their clothes upstairs and came back downstairs again. XiXi asked Mo Chen, "Did you guys go shopping"

"Yeah," replied Mo Chen. Wu Shuang laughed and said, "Why didn’t you come with us then"

Mo Chen responded, "It’s a world for just the two of us; it’s not fun when there are too many people around."

Everyone looked down on him. Ye Feimo was the worst and couldn't help but laugh and say, "That's right, it's not fun with lots of people around; in the end you still had to ask Uncle Bai Ye for help. Looks like your idea isn’t very effective."

Everyone could see that there seemed to be no progress between Mo Chen and Gu Babu. Bai Ye immediately shirked responsibility, saying, "It’s a problem with people, not the method."

Mojin originally intended to defend Bai Ye, proving that his method was highly effective. However, upon hearing what Bai Ye said, he gave up on defending himself and huffed in annoyance at the spiteful people who were piling on.

Wenran found this rather peculiar: "Why did you guys go shopping, yet Baby only bought one piece of clothing while you bought so many"

All eyes turned to Mojing. Yes, it was only after Wenran mentioned it that everyone remembered the bags filled with almost entirely Mojing's clothes and very few of Gu Baby's. Usually when women and men go shopping together, the woman does most of the shopping while the man carries the bags. So why did Gu Baby buy just one piece of clothing, yet Mojing bought so many Did they switch roles

Mojin protested his innocence: "D*mn, why did we come back home so early"

Gu Baby explained, "I have plenty of clothes and don't need to buy any. He said he has few clothes and needs to buy more."

Initially, Gu Baby had meant to explain this for Mojing's sake, lest he lose face because while accompanying her shopping, he bought so many clothes himself. But the explanation only made people look down on him even more.

Didn't he have enough clothes already

The women were unaware that Mojing had once sought help from Bai Ye and thus looked down upon him all the more; while the men automatically forgot about the time Mojing called for Ye Feimo's assistance.

In the Mo family, it was Moyao who owned the fewest clothes, followed by Mo Xiaobai. As for Mojing, two wardrobes were full of his clothes—where did he have few It was truly embarrassing that Gu Baby still believed him.

Mojin wanted to cry but no tears came; could they not stop tearing him down for a single day He used to find it amusing watching others getting razzed while in love. Now, when it happened to him, he realized how tragic it was indeed. So it can be said that one must be decent; otherwise, like his cousin, if he watched the show of others’ lives but didn’t give them a chance to watch his, that would be true transcendence.

"Baby, would you be a bridesmaid for me tomorrow" Rong Yan said. Gu Babu was slightly surprised—be her bridesmaid Rong Yan explained, "Originally, Chu Chu and Ke Lan were supposed to be the bridesmaids, but Ke Lan ran into trouble in the Middle East and can't come temporarily. So could you take over Ke Lan’s role as a bridesmaid"

Before Gu Babu could say anything, Lin Lin clapped her hands excitedly, "Mom, Mom, you be a bridesmaid! You must look very pretty."

"Sure." Gu Babu was straightforward. Rong Yan planned to modify Ke Lan’s wedding gown for her; Gu Babu’s figure was slightly taller and curvier compared to Ke Lan’s who was younger with underdeveloped features, making her appear petite in comparison. But Gu Babu was different—thankfully she wasn’t fat, so the dress would fit after some minor alterations. This was something that Gu Babu excelled at; all Rong Yan needed to do was hand over the wedding gown and let her handle it quickly. This made Rong Yan even more relaxed.

Lin Lin said, "Mom, today when I saw Sister Wu Shuang’s wedding photos, they were so beautiful! They say that women look best as brides. When are you going to be a bride, Mom"

Gu Babu: "..."

Meng Chen looked at Gu Babu with a half-smile, and Gu Babu was speechless, imagining herself in a wedding dress, feeling rather awkward. "No rush."

"Why not They said women need to be brides first before they can have babies. Why haven’t you become a bride yet but I’m already your baby" Lin Lin asked curiously with confusion in her eyes.

Everyone thought Gu Babu would feel embarrassed, but unexpectedly, she replied calmly, "I'm a new-era woman. This is the trend."

Everyone: "..."

"What kind of trend

"The trend of the new era!" Gu Babu affirmed confidently, and Anya twisted somewhat, which reminded her of how she had educated Ningning when she was young—seemingly just as extreme. Linlin was a curious child; cleverly clapping her hands together, she said, "Okay, I'll also learn from Mommy to follow the trend."

Gu Babu said, "This is the trend for women of the new era, but you are not one of them, so there's no need for you to follow it."

Linlin felt sad that she wasn't part of this trend.

Gu Babu was headache-ridden; educating her child in front of everyone like this was a bit... well, anyway, who cared She could educate her child however she wanted to.

Shiyi secretly asked Mo Chen, "What's going on with you and Baby Why do you seem more estranged after returning from your trip"

Their eyes didn't even exchange glances.

Mochen helplessly said, "Avril just returned; I've seen her."

"Serve you right!" Shiyi threw out the remark and walked away. Mochen was extremely aggrieved—Mummy竟然不安慰他，太過分了。Shiyi thought, what nonsense about inheritance, truly bizarre.

This night was the eve of Wushuang and Kaka's wedding; Mo Castle was almost in a state of revelry, with no one sleeping through the night.

No one noticed that behind the joy lay a dark cloud.ght for a moment before saying, "But Mom said that boys' first kisses aren't worth much, while girls' first kisses are very precious."Mumu suddenly kicked SenSen with his leg, "Shut up and go to sleep...
