In the hall.
From time to time, the cheerful laughter of Gong Youbo, amused by Mu An, could be heard.
Gong Nanyan took a moment to glance at the two, a faint smile appearing on her lips.
Now the three of them felt very much like a family!
Warm! Natural! Harmonious!
As if it should have always been this way!
Of course, she didn't expect to be officially married to Mu An in the future.
As long as they could maintain this 'fake couple' relationship.
To give Youbo a complete home, and to give herself a complete home...
Then she would be immensely satisfied!
…..
"Daddy, can you tell me some stories?"
"What story does Youbo want to hear?"
"Um... how about the story of how Daddy and Mommy first met?"
The little girl rested her finger on her chin, looking full of anticipation.
"Well... I guess there's still time to tell that story!"
Mu An smiled mysteriously.
In fact, he felt he couldn't come up with any story.
To be precise, he couldn't fabricate a reasonable story!
"Huh? How can it be like this?"
"Youbo thought there would be a wonderful story in between!"
Gong Youbo pouted in dissatisfaction, feeling a bit dejected.
At that moment, Gong Nanyan gracefully walked over and playfully poked the little girl's forehead.
"What are you thinking in that little head of yours!"
"Since Daddy says the time isn't right, then when the time comes, you will have the chance to hear it!"
Hearing this, Gong Youbo snuggled closer to Mu An.
During the long time before Mu An appeared, Gong Nanyan had played both the father and mother roles.
It could be said that the little girl was somewhat afraid of her!
"Oh... so that's how it is... then when will it be the right time?"
"Youbo is really curious!"
Leaning against Mu An, Gong Youbo seemed to regain her courage.
Her big eyes sparkled, as if they contained countless brilliant stars, all filled with the word 'curious'!
[Emotional fluctuation of curiosity from Gong Youbo +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +60]!]
"The right time is... when Youbo grows a little more!"
Mu An pondered seriously.
He decided to use the legendary 'delay' tactic.
"Grow a little more? How big? Youbo is already very big!"
"However, Youbo is the most obedient child in the world, so just wait patiently for Daddy to tell you!"
Gong Youbo had a little adult expression.
She even gently patted Mu An's shoulder, giving off a vibe of 'I understand you'!
Seeing that the little girl didn't continue to dwell on it, Mu An secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all.
He couldn't just state the facts, could he?
"Alright! Stop dragging you around with questions, have you finished today's holiday homework?"
Gong Nanyan also came out to mediate, cleverly diverting the topic.
"Ah? We still have to do homework?"
"Dad just came home with great difficulty, can I do it later? I want to stay by Dad's side a little longer!"
The little girl immediately showed a bitter face, looking extremely troubled.
As expected.
Homework is always the lifelong enemy of children in their student years!
Mu An felt a bit soft-hearted upon hearing this.
But Gong Nanyan was firm, shaking her head and issuing the final ultimatum.
"Go do your homework first!"
"People usually have to endure hardship before enjoying sweetness; how can it be the other way around?"
"If you write faster, then you'll have more time to play with Dad, right?"
Faced with her mother's gentle persuasion and pressure, Gong Youbai still yielded.
She was the most obedient child in the world and had to listen to her parents!
The little girl turned back three times as she walked.
Even though she was reluctant, in the end, she honestly entered her room to study.
"Are you being too strict with Youbai?"
Mu An couldn't help but speak up.
"Children love to play; it's their nature, but they must learn to exercise restraint!"
"As parents, we need to help her shape a correct worldview at the right time!"
"We can't be too indulgent, nor can we spoil her too much! Only then can she grow up strong!"
"I don't know what kind of achievements Youbai will have in the future, but I hope she can at least become a person with a correct worldview!"
Gong Nanyan leaned against Mu An's embrace, speaking very seriously.
Upon hearing this, Mu An nodded in agreement.
"Of course, after that girl is sent away, no one will compete with me for your embrace! Hehe!"
Gong Nanyan rarely showed a mischievousness like a young girl, and she playfully winked at Mu An.
[From Gong Nanyan's small sense of triumph +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Book: About the Schemes to Compete for the Comfortable Embrace of a Loved One]!]
"..."
This reason was indeed impeccable!
But how could a mother be jealous of her own daughter!
Mu An couldn't help but feel amused.
"If only you had met me first!"
For some reason, the more she obsessed over this warmth, the sadder Gong Nanyan felt.
If time could be rewound, how she wished Youbai would be the crystallization of her and Mu An's love!
If that were the case, her life would be perfect, and she could die without regrets!
But unfortunately, it seemed that in this world, there are only results, no 'what ifs'...
Mu An tightly embraced her delicate body, softly comforting her.
"There will definitely be a chance!"
"There will definitely be... a chance?"
Gong Nanyan's beautiful eyes showed confusion as she looked up at him.
Mu An smiled without speaking.
At the same time, he secretly began to inquire with the system about some questions he was currently concerned about.
[If I use the [God-level Time Travel Device (One-Time Round Trip to the Past onsumable)] to go back to the past, what will happen to the current timeline?]
[System: The time of the real timeline will be temporarily paused until the host returns from another timeline!]
"What if I go back and change the past? Will it cause some things to disappear or interfere with everything that has happened in the present?"
After all, the so-called time paradox is indeed worrying!
[System: There is a predetermined fate in the dark! The host's existence is inherently a matter of deception! Everything you do is reasonable!]
"Speak in plain language!!!"
[System: The result will not change, but the process can be concealed through certain means! Let this result become the one you desire!]
Upon hearing this explanation, Mu An's eyes lit up.
He already had some ideas in his mind.
That's right, he wanted to go back to the past and change Gong Nanyan's fate!
"One last question, if I achieve this desired result, will Gong Nanyan and Gong Youbai still be the two people I know?"
[System: The convergence of the world line of the wish-fulfillment novel will definitely happen! The host doesn't need to worry!]
With these words, Mu An finally felt relieved.
On the other side, Gong Nanyan's fair little hand gently brushed over Mu An's solid chest, and she sweetly blew a breath in his ear.
"Let's chat a little longer!"
Mu An naturally had no objections and began to chat with her.
They talked about everything from trivial matters to significant issues.
The two shared everything.
…..
"I will give you a complete life (past)!"
Mu An carried the sleeping Gong Nanyan to bed and couldn't help but whisper.
[Using [God-level Time Travel Device], returning to Gong Nanyan's past!]
[[God-level Time Travel Device] used successfully... the host is currently traveling...]
[The time of the current timeline has stopped flowing!]
