Ivy Shen's crying instantly threw the kids into chaos. They rushed over, Tiny Li scrambled to sit on her left, Tiny Xuan on her right, Little Bunny led Tiny Addie up to Ivy, and Tiny Addie dove straight into her arms.
"Don't cry, Mommy, don't cry!"
"Mom, we're sorry, please don't cry, okay?" As the eldest, Little Snowball stood behind Ivy, trying his best to comfort her. Sigh, ever since Mom started carrying Seventh Dad's baby, her mood swings have been wild. But it's no wonder—Dad says Mom's always wanted a little sister, because sisters are sweet and caring. But five years have gone by, and except for Seventh Dad's baby, all the rest have been boys.
So Mom's temper has gotten worse and worse.
"Waaaah..." Ivy ignored all their comforting words and just kept crying her heart out.
Seeing this, Noel Song got a headache, but suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "Mom, look, look! We'll put on the Legend of the White Snake for you, okay? Quick, everyone, get ready!" Then he turned and yelled at Tiny Xuan, "Fahai! Hey, give me back my husband!"
Tiny Li grabbed a stick and shouted at Tiny Xuan, "You old bald monk, give us back our brother-in-law!"
Tiny Xuan pouted miserably—ugh, this game is so childish! He's already five, why are they still playing stuff like this?
Noel glared at Tiny Xuan with clear annoyance, his look basically saying, "If you don't cooperate, just wait till I deal with you later!"
Seeing that, Tiny Xuan quickly said, "The monk is here! You two demon brats, quit messing around!"
At that moment, Ivy finally stopped crying and looked up at them.
"Wife, wife! Little Green, save me!" Little Bloom jumped onto the tree, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Haha, see? Your husband is locked in the pagoda!" Tiny Xuan pointed at Little Bloom on the tree branch and declared.
"Baldy, let my husband go!" Noel shouted, "Sis, let's take him down together!"
"Okay!" The two dashed to Tiny Xuan and started mock-beating him up, muttering under their breath, "It's all your fault! See, we've been caught, now we're all doomed!"
"Ow! Big bro, third bro, go easy on me! That hurts, seriously!"
"Enough!" Ivy Shen yelled, making everyone freeze and turn to look at her.
"You guys act nothing like my story! I've told you this a million times, and you still can't get it right. Waaah, you never listen to me!" She burst into tears again.
All the boys sweatdropped and stared. Seriously? They're all boys—this story is boring as heck!
"Waaah, you little troublemakers are always making me mad! You never let me chill!" Ivy sobbed, wiping her tears and snot all over Tiny Addie's clothes.
"Mom, it's dirty... so dirty..." Tiny Addie frowned unhappily.
"Wow, even Tiny Addie dislikes me now... Waaah..."
"What's going on?" Suddenly, Adrian Night's furious voice rang out, and five handsome men appeared, all frowning and scanning the room. "Who made your mom upset again?" Lucian Vane demanded, glaring.
"Wifey, what's wrong?" Butterfly Rogue rushed over. Just a moment ago, Ivy was playing mahjong in the garden, said she needed a bathroom break, and poof—she vanished!
"What's up with Tiny Bunny?" Liam Willow asked his son, confused.
"Dad, I don't know!" Little Bunny protested, looking innocent. "I really have no clue!"
"You tell me!" Adrian Night glared at Little Snowball, demanding answers.
Seeing this, Little Snowball hung his head. "Sorry, Dad, we made Mom angry. We were naughty."
"Naughty? Little Snowball, you're already six—you should be mature by now!" Caleb Miles scolded, then glared at his son. "And you, always carrying that abacus—who are you scheming against now?"
"Dad..." Tiny Caleb looked up at his father, pouting. "Come on, I only cheated you out of a tael, and you're still mad? So unfair!"
