<h4>Chapter 546: Chapter 546 Gathering</h4><h4></h4>


    At 7 p.m., the house was already bustling with activity. Bai Ju and her husband, their three children, Bai Xiao, Li Chunhua, and Bai Song had all arrived.


    The house instantly became overcrowded.


    It was fortunate that there were many rooms and the area was spacious; otherwise, there wouldn’t have even been enough space to stand.


    Even so, Bai Yue was still regretful. Had she known, she would have bought thergest house avable back then, which even had a separate small duplex—albeit a bit more expensive—but not only was itrger, it was also more spacious.


    It was only now that she realized her foresight had beencking. Determined, the couple decided that they would purchase a house in the near future. After all, Bai Yue was the eldest sister, and with their parents gone, it was naturally her role as the eldest sister to step into the shoes of the family elder. Therefore, it wouldn’t be surprising if future family gatherings took ce at her house, and they felt they owed it to their siblings to create afortable environment for everyone.


    The only two absent from the house were Li Haiping and Li Hai’an. Currently, they were the mainstays of the hotpot restaurant; both managed different branches, with Haiping also being the main chef responsible for the broth base. All the research and development, as well as the distribution of ingredients to the branches, were credited to Haiping. After the branches closed, he would return to the main kitchen to preparerge batches of the base for the next day.


    So it was impossible for them to be there at the moment.


    Seeing the family gathered, old man Wang felt somewhat out of ce. It was like he was in his daughter-inw’s home and not his son’s, and he always felt somewhat disconnected. His wife understood this feeling perfectly; initially, she also felt ufortable in this house, as if her son didn’t hold a dominating position in it. But gradually, she came to a realization—the most important thing was for her son to feelfortable.


    Moreover, as time went by, Bai Yue treated her son with great respect. Especially the three sons, they all respected their stepfather without any resistance, and they were very polite as well.


    What more could one want?


    If they werefortable with their lives together, then other people’s opinions or thoughts didn’t matter.


    Upon arrival, Bai Xiao immediately spotted Little Tangyuan. She had heard about the little guy beforehand but had yet to meet him.


    She had even specifically bought toys and clothes for her, and the toy she was holding now was a littlemb that could sing songs and scuttle across the floor on its wheels.


    It was battery-operated, and upon pressing the button, it would light up and themb would sing and move around on the floor.


    As soon as Bai Xiao presented the toy, Little Tangyuan’s eyes immediately widened. Her big, ck eyes, so much like Bai Yue’s, blinked with thickshes, as if full of wonder.


    When Bai Xiao activated themb, it started running around the floor, singing.


    Little Tangyuan was thoroughly captivated and started patting her grandfather’s hand, wanting to get down to the ground.


    Luckily, their house had wooden floors which Bai Yue always kept polished to a shine.


    Once on the floor, the little one gave chase to themb, crawling and scampering after it on hands and knees.


    Everyone in the house watched her andughed heartily.


    Little Tangyuan finally caught up with the littlemb, reached out with her chubby little hands, and embraced the singing Xiaoyan tightly in her arms. Holding up themb to watch it sing and glow,


    she even began singing along to the melody.


    Bai Xiao adored this little girl.


    She was truly the darling belle of their family.
