THE MOMENT SHE STEPPED ON INSIDE

Tianyu POV

(Head of the Gu Family)

I stood in my bedroom, adjusting my cufflinks for the third time.

It wasn’t often that I felt nervous—but today was different. I was about to welcome my new wife and daughter into the Gu family.

My phone vibrated.

Yunxi: We’ve entered the estate.

My heart tightened.

I opened the wardrobe and took out the clothes I had prepared long ago—neatly ironed, untouched. After changing, I sprayed a light layer of perfume, combed my hair carefully, and took a deep breath before heading downstairs.

The boys were in the living room.

Earlier, I had already mentioned that we would soon have a meimei, but I didn’t want to ruin the moment with unnecessary explanations. Instead, I walked past them calmly.

“They’re almost here,” I said lightly, hoping they would understand.

Then I stepped outside to wait for my laopo and nu’er.

A few minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance.

When they stepped out, graceful and composed, I couldn’t help but smile.

Yunxi looked stronger than I remembered.

And the girl beside her—

My chest softened.

Xiaomei POV

After leaving the Lin family for good, I asked the system to help me plan my future.

It told me that only by earning favorability points could I unlock new functions and strengthen myself.

That was fine.

I would earn them—one by one.

When we entered the Gu estate, Ama called my new Abba to let him know we had arrived. It took us nearly five minutes just to reach the front of the mansion.

When I finally looked up—

I was stunned.

The building was massive, elegant, and imposing. A place that truly felt like… home.

A man stood waiting for us.

Uncle Gu.

I quickly asked the system to check his favorability.

80%.

I froze.

That number was shockingly high.

Memories flooded my mind.

In my past life, when I had nowhere to go—when I was kicked out in the pouring rain, burning with fever—it was Uncle Gu who took me to the hospital. He paid my medical bills. He saved me when no one else would.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

Before I could stop myself, I ran forward and hugged him tightly.

“Abba…”

My voice broke.

I vowed silently—

this time, I would make sure this family never fell into misery again.

Yunxi POV

The moment Xiaomei moved, I felt it.

Her voice echoed in my mind again—clear, emotional, filled with memories that weren’t mine.

I turned sharply toward Tianyu.

He had heard it too.

As he stepped forward to embrace her, his body stiffened, eyes widening in shock. I subtly shook my head, signaling him to stay silent.
