Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: First Meet

Exiting her room, Mu Ning realized she had stayed in the space for more than 5 hours.

She arched her brow and questioned, "System, is the time in my space faster than outside?"

[No, host. You have indeed wasted 5 hours inside.]

Mu Ning rolled her eyes at the system and wanted to pass some sarcastic remark, but held back when she saw the cute pink creature.

'Sigh! Forget it! What can a system do about my space? It's all the admin department's fault!'

Administration Department: (0_o?) We are innocent!

Mu Ning explored the mansion and sighed. To others, the mansion might seem like a magical place.

The walls had built-in lights, not visible to the naked eye, and the floor was shining like it was made from steel, while there weren't stairs, but rather floating disks. 

Many servants dressed in metallic blue uniforms were delivering either nutrient pills or daily necessity items. 

Some idle ones were using their identification bracelets to play games.

Before travelling, Mu Ning was often fascinated by the term mobile phones. But after transmigrating to various worlds, she understood why identification bracelets were made.

They are convenient, hold all the information about a person, and act like a mobile phone!

Then there were ceilings that were adorned by the beautiful look of nature; coupled with a gentle breeze, one might think that they are sitting in a grassland and looking at the sky.

When in reality, this was all a technology. In between, the ceiling would return to its normal monotone steel-like wallpaper.

Mu Ning patiently waited outside a floating disk; however, she soon realized a problem.

By some coincidence, the servants kept on crowding near the circular disk elevator. Some even tried to elbow Mu Ning.

Realizing their motives, Mu Ning smirked. Her stern voice echoed in the hall, "What are you all doing? Does your master know how his dogs are behaving?"

She upset many of the servants, but they didn't dare to oppose Mu Ning.

They had thought that by using these underhanded tactics, they could provoke her. Once she loses control, they will complain to the master, who will punish Mu Ning.

But due to some unknown reason, rather than becoming furious, she threatened them.

'What bad luck! Guess we can only use some other method to kick her out!' They all thought simultaneously.

Mu Ning ignored them and finally got on the disk. The system had already told her about her babies' room.

On reaching outside her children's room, Mu Ning could feel her heart skipping a beat. She knocked on the door, waiting patiently for her children to open the door.

According to the system, her daughter's name was Gwen Wang, and her son's name was Warren Wang.

"Who is there?" A cautious voice called out, and Mu Ning's heart almost melted into a puddle.

'My daughter! Ah! She has such a cute voice!'

"It's me." Mu Ning replied in a neutral voice. Thanks to the years of travelling, she had learned how to mask her emotions, even though she desperately wanted to rush inside.

Clack! Clack!

The sound of items shifting didn't escape Mu Ning's ears, and she narrowed her eyes. Her babies were hiding something from her... but she was in no position to ask what it was.

After 4 minutes, the door was clicked open, and two pairs of eyes stared at Mu Ning warily.

Mu Ning slowly crouched to their level, and her heart squeezed tightly when Gwen and Warren stepped back instinctively.

'Don't worry... I have time! I can slowly let them be close to me!'

"Can I come inside?" Mu Ning asked softly, and at her words, Gwen and Warren exchanged looks as if they were confused by the sudden change in Mu Ning.

Finally, Warren looked at Mu Ning with a conflicted expression and asked in a cold voice, "If we refuse, will you leave us?"

"Yes." Mu Ning nodded gently.

"Then leave, please." The words were said with venom and hatred, which made Mu Ning freeze slightly.

Her eyes flickered, and just when the sibling duo thought Mu Ning would slap or kick them, she smiled softly. "Alright. I will leave."

They waited for the familiar 'but,' and it did come...

"But..." Mu Ning stared at them. "...there is something I want to say."

The siblings tensed up instinctively, and Mu Ning continued, "I apologize for my behavior before. I acted like an irresponsible person. There is no excuse for my behavior, and I won't expect any forgiveness. Is there anything that I can do to make it up to you?"

Mu Ning's soft words stunned Gwen and Warren.

[Host, your approach is good! They might open or cry! Once they let out all their grievances, they will feel closer to you!]

'Oh, please. After getting transmigrated to so many redemption stories, I have learned a lot of psychology. 'Mu Ning snorted internally, while rage surged in her heart, thinking about all the things her baby had suffered.

However, she still wasn't prepared for the next words.

"Then divorce Dad."
