The steamed eggs in the morning had a bit of a strange taste.

Liu Juanhao looked at her daughter’s eager eyes and couldn’t resist feeding her a bite. Who knew that just as she fed one bite, Wang Meili stopped her, "You eat it, stop spoiling the child."

"I don’t have to eat either," Liu Juanhao said.

"How can that be?" Wang Meili said angrily, "I spent the whole morning making this steamed egg for you. I also made some pastries in the pot; you can all eat them later on."

Liu Juanhao was even more surprised. Could it be that Gu Haojun’s outburst yesterday caused her to change? 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

If that’s the case, then that’s great.

"Thank you, Mom," Liu Juanhao said, feeling touched.

"No need for thanks, we’re family," Wang Meili said with a smile, "You two eat first, I’ll go check if the pastries in the pot are ready."

With that, she smiled and went to the kitchen.

Liu Juanhao stood up and looked at the sky; her daughter looked at her curiously.

That’s right, the sun rose from the east today.

If Liu Juanhao knew what would happen later, she wouldn’t have thought like this.

No matter where the sun rises, it can’t stop some people’s harmful intentions.

Soon, the pastries were out of the pot.

Judging by the aroma, Liu Juanhao thought, if they opened a pastry shop like this, business would surely be good.

"Hurry and eat while they’re hot, I made these specially for you," Wang Meili smiled as she handed over a plate of pastries.

The sweet and sour pastries were really quite delicious.

After a few bites, the discomfort in her chest seemed to disappear.

They really were quite good.

Liu Juanhao couldn’t help but take a few more pieces to eat.

Strangely, Wang Meili didn’t say anything and even encouraged her to eat more.

They were really quite tasty, and Liu Juanhao unknowingly ate several more pieces.

"Juanhao, I’m going out for a while," Wang Meili said, smiling with her purse in hand, "I won’t be back for lunch. If you’re hungry, you and your daughter can eat the pastries."

"I’ll cook for you when I get back." She patted her sleeve, gave Liu Juanhao’s room a mysterious smile, and left.

Thinking she could compete with me? She’s still too inexperienced.

Gripping the purse tightly, it contained money she secretly took from home. She didn’t feel secure leaving it at home, so she’d rely on Wang Meiqi to safeguard it for a while.

Regarding her sister Wang Meiqi, Wang Meili often thought they might truly be long-lost sisters, so she trusted her greatly.

Liu Juanhao played with her daughter at home for a while, but soon her stomach began to feel uncomfortable. She had been feeling this way recently, being close to delivery. Her belly felt tight. The doctor said it was a normal contraction reaction.

However, she was advised to pay attention. If the contractions became frequent, it might mean she was going into labor.

With less than a month to go before delivery, Liu Juanhao thought perhaps laying down for a while would help. She had felt this way yesterday and it improved after resting a bit. So she lay down with her daughter on the kang.

However, the pain grew more intense.

Until Liu Juanhao, still in a daze, was awakened by the pain.

When Gu Lingling and Yang Yunhai kicked open the courtyard door, they could hear her daughter crying loudly inside the house.

The two exchanged a glance.

They were still one step too late.

Yang Yunhai kicked open the door to find Liu Juanhao lying on the kang, nearly at a critical state, with a lot of blood on the bed.

Just like the scene in Gu Lingling’s dream.
