The next day, Ling Li showed Four Eyes the whole mansion. Though he was overwhelmed by the size and luxury of the entire estate, Four Eyes was not very surprised.

"Don't move Quan Ye and Murphy; let them stay in the main house." Four Eyes related to Ling Ling Li in a low voice.

Ling Li got his mind. "Sure, the house is still big enough and has plenty of rooms."

The two of them were walking back hand in hand when Four Eyes noticed several towers facing directly towards their room and having direct access to the main house.

Whoever is staying there definitely could see what they are doing at night.

Four Eyes squinted his eyes.

"What are those towers?" Four eyes asked as he stopped in his tracks; Ling Li also stopped and looked in his direction.

"Those are Pharas', Mushu's, Rocky's, and Reginald's quarters." After she answered, Ling Li started to walk again. Still, to her surprise, Four Eyes remained standing, and she noticed his angry and fiery fire coming from his nose.

'I know this look.' Ling Li thought, her heart skipped.

"Chu Yan, what's wrong? Why are you angry?" Ling Li asked with caution.

"Guess!" Four eyes replied with one word.

Ling Li's heart fluttered, and she even wanted to run away. 'Why would I even ask if I know his thoughts!'

"Honey, can you just tell me why?" Ling Li tried to calm him.

"I am not an exhibitionist!" Four Eyes angrily retorted and left Ling Li standing.

Ling Li was caught off guard by his words and followed him. "What do you mean by that? Do you mean I am?"

Four Eyes stopped and looked at her as he pointed at the towers.

"You liked being watched? I don't." Four Eyes said concisely to Ling Li as he turned around, and left hurriedly back to the main house.

Ling Li now realized why Four Eyes were ranging in a fury. She could only purse her lips.

Ren and Shun were carrying the twins into the courtyard and basking in the sun since it was still early in summer. They saw Four Eyes returning without their Mom.

"Hi, Paps! Where's Mom?" Ren happily greeted him and asked. But to her surprise, Four Eyes only passed them without saying a word.

Both Ren and Shun were dumbfounded; they looked at each other and were curious about what had happened.

Moments later, Ling Li arrived. "Mom, are you alright?" Ren asked with concern.

"Yes. Why? What happened?" Ling Ling walked towards them and started playing with the twins.

Ren could only swallow her words, not wanting to add injury to her mother.

"Madam, Miss Ren, Young Master Shun. Breakfast is ready." The Butler announced and interrupted them.

"Thank you, Butler Peng. We'll be there." Ren replied.

"Let's go." Ling Li said.

As they were heading to the dining hall, footsteps from the living room could be heard. So they went to check to see it first.

"Brother!" Ren exclaimed.

"Shi Min!" Ling Li happily called as well.

"Hi, Mom!" Shi Min replied as he embraced his mother.

"Are these our little sisters? How cute they are!" Shi Min remarked as he held the little hand of the twins.

"Big brother! I knew it was you!" Lily came running.

"Hello, little sister! Oh, you're no longer the little sister! But you will always be my baby sister." Shi Min said while pinching Lily's cheeks.

"Big Bother!" Lily exclaimed with her face flustered when she realized everyone was already present, including Four Eyes, Chatty, and Fatty, to welcome Shi Min.

"Hello, nice to see you all again." Shi Min greeted Fatty and Chatty, giving them a handshake, which surprised Lily that they already knew each other.

"How should I be addressing you now? Ha, ha, ha." Shi Min gives Four Eyes a handshake as well.

"We decided to call him Paps!" Ren told Shi Min.

"Ha ha! Paps it is!" Shi Min spoke happily.

"Madam, Masters. Breakfast is ready." Butler Peng reminded them.

"Butler Peng, it's been so long since I last saw you." Shi Min walked towards the elderly Butler and tapped his shoulder.

"Young Master, yes indeed. It's been a long time, and it's a great honor to be remembered by you." Butler Peng replied with teary eyes.

"Oh, come on, Butler Peng. I grew up but didn't lose my memory." Shi Min chuckled, giving the elderly Butler a half hug.

"You are still a charming, happy kid, Young Master. Go and have your breakfast. You had a long trip."

"Yes, I'm famished. I could eat a horse."

"Big Brother, Shun is training with Paps and his friends," Ren said to Shi Min, seated beside each other.

"I heard. Shun's training must be why you have set up your temporary office here." Shi Min responded.

"Brother, your intel is excellent," Ren replied jokingly.

"Ha ha ha ha, but Ren, you have to keep in mind that the training will take place on different grounds. You cannot be beside Shun at all times. You must support him, not drag him down. You must be his encouragement, not his worry." Shi Min reminded his sister.

When Ren heard her brother's words, they struck her and made her think solemnly. 'Am I dragging Shun? Am I making him worry about me?' She looked at Shun with her heartfelt troubles.

"Shi Min, there is a battalion run on Sunday. I'm joining. Would you like to join us?" Ling Li asked him.

"I would love to," Shi Min replied while eating his favorite chicken curry mouthful.

They all chatted during the rest of the meal. Only Ren and Shun knew about the tension between Four Eyes and their mother.

Afterward, they all went on their own ways to start their day.

Four Eyes changed his clothes, and Ling Li went to their room.

"Can we talk?" Ling Li asked Four Eyes when the couple was in the room to prepare.

"Foreign class starts now." Four Eyes replied.

"No, it won't." Ling Li said.

Four Eyes stopped and looked at her.

"You canceled the class?"

"No, I'm the teacher for today." Ling Li replied.

Four Eyes sneered. "Talk."

"About the towers." Ling Li pointed towards the window. "You might not have noticed it before, but it has been there ever since. But they are there for a reason. To protect the four master bedrooms." She explained.
