Mu Lan finished her dinner in the kitchen before anyone could taste the meal. Afterward, she went to the living room to see her sons. The rice balls took a good nap with their mother and were very energetic after waking up. They turned the whole living room into a zoo. She could hear their laughter from the second floor.

In the corridor, she met Osiris. He must have woken up a few moments ago. His sleeping gown slid down from his shoulder and revealed his muscled chest. His long, silk, straight, white hair was loosely hanging on his shoulders. He yawned and asked, "Baby, do you have a moment?"

"What is it? You don't look good." Mu Lan noticed his pale face.

"Of course, I'm not fine. My beauty sleep was snatched by your third child." Osiris said dramatically. Droplets of pearl-like tears rolled down from his like and sparkled in the light. "He is in my room, creating havoc. If I want to scold him, he gives such puppy looks… Ah! I'm tormented. I feel like I'm in hell being punished by God. He must be testing my patience. I must not fail. But I can't take it anymore. I'm so sleepy. Baby, please do something about your child."

Mu Lan sighed. "I understand. I'm sorry that you couldn't sleep but can you stop being so dramatic?"

"What are you saying?" Osiris looked hurt. Tears brimmed in his eyes.

"Alright, alright, I'll take him. Just stop crying." Mu Lan walked to Osiris' room and when she entered, she was shocked. The whole room was rampaged by rice ball number three. No wonder Osiris cried out like that! He liked to stay neat and clean.

The third rice ball didn't see his mother and continued playing around. Mu Lan put her hands on her waist and tapped his right foot on the floor without a word.

When rice ball number three turned to pick a book from the floor, only then he noticed his mother looking at him chillingly. It wasn't sure if he understood whether he realized that his mother was angry at him or not; he stopped being naughty and stood in front of his mother and raised his small hands. He called out happily, "Mam…ma…. Mam…ma…"

However, it didn't melt Mu Lan's heart. She kept gazing at him without emotion. Only then did the rice ball discover that his mother was unhappy for some reason. He showed his infamous puppy look.

'Did you think my invented medicine would work on me? Too bad that I won't melt like your father.' Mu Lan raised an eyebrow. She asked, "What do you think you are doing?"

Rice ball pursed his lips. He never saw his mother so angry before. He felt hurt. His eyes welled up and his nose turned red. His small hands tugged her overcoat.

Mu Lan said, "Do you think disturbing others is good? When did I allow you to do such a thing?"

This time, the rice ball was really frightened. He started weeping.

Osiris clutched her clothes from behind. "Baby, is it okay to scold him like this? He isn't even one year old. He doesn't understand whatever he is doing is right or wrong. Don't be like this. Look at his pitiful face. It's breaking my heart."

Mu Lan glanced at him speechlessly. And for whom she had to come here?

"What's going on here?" Mu Liang came inside. He was looking for Mu Lan when he heard the cry of rice ball number three and followed the sound. Seeing that the rice ball was crying in front of his mother and the room was massacred, he didn't need two seconds to understand what was going on.

Mu Lan didn't say a word and kept looking at the rice ball. The rice ball saw his father and cried out loudly.

Mu Liang's heart ached. It felt like little Lan was crying. He asked, "Does he really need to be punished like this? He doesn't understand anything." He repeated Osiris' words.

Mu Lan gave him a look and it shut him up. 'Wife is more important.' Thinking that he looked coldly at the rice ball number three.

Seeing that his father took his mother's side, he bawled even more loudly. It attracted more people. Carlo was walking on the third floor and heard the rice ball's loud scream. He frowned and came inside Osiris' room. "What a mess! But why is he crying?" Noticing the mood of the couple, he scolded them, "Look at you! Why are you punishing this kid like this? If he understood that disturbing someone is wrong, he wouldn't do anything in the first place."

Mu Lan was furious. "Rice ball number one and number four are so obedient. Why will rice ball number three become so naughty?"

"If you think he will be like your first and fourth child, you are mistaken. Not everyone's personality is the same. If you tell me, I say he is definitely like you. Since you became a mother, you have to endure things like that. Who told you that being a mother is easy? You don't have to wash your children. After living like a princess, you totally forgot how to treat a child." After lecturing the couple, Carlo carried rice ball number three and wiped his tears. "Alright, don't cry anymore. I'll take you outside."

Mu Lan shook her head. "It's no good for children to be indulged like this. He will turn into Li Sheng at this point."

Osiris was about to say, "But you still shouldn't-"

Mu Lan interrupted him saying, "Don't tell me how to teach my children. If I let them go now, they won't listen when they grow up. Then they will become inhuman. I've seen with my very own eyes how can a child be destroyed by spoiling. My cousin Mei is a great example."

Hua Mei was indulged by presents and no one ever scolded her. She was so pampered that she never tried to understand others and always thought that everything was at her mercy.
