Chapter 157: Chapter 157: This Is Steadiness

Qin Yuelan took the small bowl, scooped up a dumpling with a spoon, and looked at Gu Mo. “Dai Bao, do you want to eat?”

Gu Mo glanced at Yu Nuannuan, who had already started eating, and nodded. “Yes!”

There were only six dumplings in his bowl, and they were so small that even though he’d already had breakfast, he could still finish them all.

The two of them sat side by side, quietly eating their dumplings.

After they finished, Xu Shuhua asked Chen Qiaoqin to clear the bowls. She herself took a napkin to wipe Yu Nuannuan’s mouth, then grabbed the hat from the bed and put it on her. Only then did she pick Yu Nuannuan up. “Come on, the snow has stopped. Let’s go outside for a walk!”

The snow had started falling yesterday at noon and had continued all night, only stopping this morning.

Now, not only had the snow stopped, but even the sun had come out.

But the sun hanging in the sky only gave off a pale light, without any warmth.

The snow in the yard hadn’t been completely cleared away—just a few narrow paths had been shoveled for people to walk on.

Before they even reached the gate, Yu Nuannuan heard the voices of Yu Wei and the others.

Once they stepped outside, Yu Nuannuan saw that a group of children were having a snowball fight.

Kids of all ages, bundled up in thick cotton coats, were running around and laughing in the snow. Even if they fell, it didn’t matter—the soft snow didn’t hurt at all. When they got up, they’d grab a handful of snow and toss it at whoever was closest.

Watching this scene, Yu Nuannuan’s hands itched to join in.

How long had it been since she’d played in the snow?

She couldn’t remember—just that it had been a very, very long time.

But Yu Nuannuan also knew that Xu Shuhua would never let her join the snowball fight.

So, no chance this year. Maybe next year!

Xu Shuhua only held Yu Nuannuan at the gate for a little while before planning to head back into the yard.

But before she could turn around, she spotted Wang Dilai.

No one knew when Wang Dilai had shown up—she was just standing at the Gu family’s gate, staring over with a gloomy look.

To be precise, she was glaring at Qin Yuelan.

Qin Yuelan saw Wang Dilai too. Her expression stiffened for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal, took Gu Mo’s hand, and turned to head back into the yard.

Seeing this, Yu Nuannuan’s curiosity was thoroughly piqued.

She’d seen with her own eyes how arrogant Wang Dilai used to be, and how scared Qin Yuelan was of her.

These past few months, the fact that Wang Dilai hadn’t come to bother Gu Mo and his family was already surprising enough to Yu Nuannuan.

But now, Qin Yuelan actually dared to ignore Wang Dilai.

And Wang Dilai didn’t even lose her temper!

Yu Nuannuan was curious, but there was nothing she could say—this wasn’t something a baby like her could ask about.

Back inside, Gu Mo was picked up and set on the bed again, sitting face-to-face with Yu Nuannuan.

“This child, Dai Bao, is just too quiet,” Qin Yuelan said to Xu Shuhua, a little worried as she looked at Gu Mo.

But Xu Shuhua didn’t see it that way. “That’s called being steady! Our Dai Bao is different from other kids—you can tell he’s going to do great things in the future!”

Qin Yuelan felt that Xu Shuhua’s praise was a bit over the top, but she couldn’t help but smile.

After all, what mother doesn’t like hearing others praise her child?

Well, except for someone like Wang Dilai.

Gu Mo, who was destined to do great things in the future, was now slowly fishing something out of his pocket.

Yu Nuannuan watched him curiously, wondering what on earth he was working so hard to take out."
