Ruanruan fished out a big White Rabbit creamy candy from the little pocket of her clothes, unwrapped the candy paper, and raised her little arm to feed the maid.
Her small frame wasn't tall enough, so she even stood on her tiptoes.
The maid pointed at herself with a surprised face.
"Miss, are you feeding this to me?"
Ruanruan nodded with a smile, "Yeah, thank you, pretty sister, for carrying Ruanruan earlier."
The maid felt as if happiness had knocked her senseless, blushing as she ate the milky-white candy and then holding her face to savor it.
Wuwuwu... So sweet!
Whether it was the little miss or the candy the little miss fed her, both were too sweet, sweet enough to touch her heart.
Ruanruan swiveled her little head from side to side, looking around, but there was no trash can.
She carefully folded the candy wrapper and put it back into the little pocket, planning to throw it in the trash can when she got back.
After putting it away, she took out all the creamy candies and spread them on her tiny palm. There were only a few candies, but they filled her fair little hand.
Ruanruan bowed her head slightly and began counting them very seriously.
"One for Daddy, one for Butler Uncle, one for the Auntie who cooks, one for Ruanruan, and there's still one left."
"Awoo~" Little Baibai scratched at Ruanruan's little pant leg with his paws, his little eyes looking at her.
"The last one is for Little Baibai!" Ruanruan squatted down to pet Little Baibai on the head, put back the candies she had assigned, and kept only Little Baibai's.
"Little Baibai, eat."
The little wolf cub moved in and started munching away eagerly.
Ruanruan also put her share into her mouth, the sweet taste mixed with the flavor of milk—so delicious!
Ruanruan was beaming with joy, her cheeks puffing up on one side with the candy, then shifting to the other side.
With the creamy candy in her mouth, Ruanruan and Little Baibai started strolling through Daddy's big garden.
The garden was really big, and along the wall was a row of very large peach trees. It was the season for peach blossoms, and the soft, plump flowers seemed to sway, as if they were about to fall with the breeze.
A light pink carpet of petals had already been laid out on the tender green grass.
Ruanruan and Little Baibai walked on the cobblestone path, following it forward, and they could see many beautiful flowers—some in full bloom and some still in small buds.
Each type of flower was planted in clusters, looking spectacular when blooming.
The little wolf cub seemed to really like it here; after eating Ruanruan's candy, he playfully hopped into the lawn, howling with his little mouth open and rolling several times on the grass before running back to Ruanruan with a few peach blossoms on his head and a cheerful trot.
Ruanruan also giggled and ran with Little Baibai into the lawn, where the grass was soft and walking on it wouldn't dirty their shoes.
After playing for a while, they ran over to the fountain; Ruanruan and Little Baibai both clung to the railing around the fountain, watching the water spray down from above, and exclaimed in awe with their mouths open.
"Daddy's home is so big and beautiful," Ruanruan said proudly, her little face beaming. This was her daddy's—so impressive.
After playing with Little Baibai and feeling tired, Ruanruan remembered she hadn't finished her homework for the day. She ran back to get her small backpack and sat on a bench in the garden. Little friend Ruanruan started reading a book.
While reading, she also held a pen in her hand, circling the words she didn't recognize, planning to ask her master about them during their video call.
With a thick notebook in hand, Ruanruan read with great concentration. The maid standing nearby asked curiously, "Miss, what book are you reading?"
"This is a notebook that Master left for Ruanruan, telling about many herbs that Ruanruan has seen on the mountain. Ruanruan wants to finish reading and remember it before Master comes back, so as not to let Master down."

The maid's eyes widened—was it really a medicinal book?
She craned her neck for a peek and saw a plant illustration at first glance. Even though it was drawn with black ink, it looked so real!
And the writing below—it was beautiful calligraphy, definitely done with a brush. The drawing must have been too!
She couldn't help but wonder what kind of master the young miss's tutor must be.
When the butler stole a moment from his busy schedule to check on Ruanruan, he saw her earnestly reading. Little Baibai had run off to the flower beds to chase butterflies. He didn't catch the tiny butterfly but instead rolled around on the ground several times, ending up with a mouthful of grass.
The two of them, one active and the other still, seemed to bring the empty garden to life.
The butler gestured for the maid watching over Ruanruan to come over and ask what she was doing.
In her excitement, the maid blurted out the story of Ruanruan sharing candy with her, her tone carrying a hint of bragging.
The butler "......"
Why didn't he get any!
Unable to contain his smile, the butler's mouth twitched downward as he gave the excited maid a deep look.
The young maid slapped a hand over her mouth, her eyes spinning rapidly—she hadn't upset the butler, had she?
She quickly tried to make amends, "Miss Ruanruan still has a few candies left. I saw her include you when she was sharing them earlier."
A smile of warm affection returned to the butler's face.
"Miss Ruanruan really, how sweet of her to think of me with just a piece of candy."
Despite what he said, the pleasure radiating from him couldn't be concealed.
She says one thing but means another!
The maid internally rolled her eyes, but she would never dare to say that aloud.
"Let's not tell Miss Ruanruan I know about the candy. Is she reading right now? Truly her father's daughter, so young and already able to read by herself."
The butler was extremely pleased.
The maid nodded vigorously in agreement.
"Yes, Miss Ruanruan is even reading a medicinal book, she's so amazing."
The butler was surprised—was it really a medicinal book? He had thought it was just a picture book for children, which would have been easy, but a medicinal book was quite difficult.
While he felt excited inside, he also reminded her, "Don't disturb her. Bring her a cup of warm milk, she must be tired after reading for so long."
"Yes." The maid hurried off to prepare the milk, and the butler looked over at Ruanruan lying on a lounge chair engrossed in her book, deciding not to disturb her. He continued on to supervise the work—the young miss's room couldn't be neglected.
Mu Group, with towering floors soaring into the sky, where high-rises clustered and high-end malls were plentiful, saw an unending stream of people every day.
This bustling business district was nearly all property owned by the Mu Family.
Today, the employees of Mu Group were all talking about something: their ever-punctual CEO was late!
Don't underestimate the significance of this—the employees all knew how seriously Mu Shen took his work ethic; he was practically a workaholic, always at the company early, no matter the weather, and had never been late before.
However, today their CEO was not only not early but actually late, which was a huge deal for everyone!
In Mu Shen's office, Secretary Jin stood respectfully to the side as usual, but he couldn't help stealing glances at the CEO who was going through paperwork.
