Chapter 197: Chapter 52 Mom, why are you fighting with Uncle Sun in the room?
Wang Manman’s eyes darted away for a moment before she said earnestly, "I’m taking Nan Nan to the amusement park today. I’ve promised her several times and never followed through."
"Then what’s in the bag you’re carrying? Do you need to bring so many things just to go out and have fun?"
The bag Fang Fan mentioned was filled with their daughter’s clothes. She was somewhat reluctant to part with all the beautiful outfits she had bought for her daughter over the years. Although plenty of new clothes had been prepared for her daughter in the new house, she was still worried the girl wouldn’t be comfortable in them.
With no other choice, she could only glare at him before putting the bag back in the room.
"There, happy now? The bag is full of Nan Nan’s clothes. I’m taking her to the amusement park, and I brought them as spares in case she gets her clothes dirty while playing. You’re so suspicious about everything. Honestly, Fang Fan, you’re hopeless."
"Uh..." Fang Fan was now thoroughly at a loss for words.
He couldn’t just act shameless and say he wanted to go with them. In his current state, he was too embarrassed to even ask.
After all, a man has his pride. At home, he could throw his weight around and act tough, but outside, he had to maintain his image.
While he was still in a daze, Wang Manman walked out carrying her daughter.
Once they were downstairs and settled in the car, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Brother Sun, you were right. I didn’t listen to you, brought a few extra of Nan Nan’s clothes, and he got all suspicious and cornered me at the door."
Sun Dasheng sat calmly in the back seat, waiting for them. Hearing this, he comforted her, "It’s all right, as long as you’re out now."
Then he noticed a pair of cute little eyes staring intently at him, and he smiled at her.
The shy little girl nestled into her mother’s arms and asked, "Mommy, who is this pretty uncle?"
Her words made everyone in the car laugh. Who uses the word "pretty" to describe a man? Only a child would say something like that. Of course, pop idols were an exception; they really were pretty.
Sun Dasheng gave a quiet command, and Da Yong, in the front seat, started the car.
Holding her daughter, Wang Manman whispered, "How about this handsome uncle takes you to the amusement park today?"
"Really?" The little girl was so happy she nearly jumped up. "Thank you, handsome uncle." Her pair of cute little eyes stared at Sun Dasheng again. It was as if she wanted to commit his face to memory.
Disneyland was so big they couldn’t get through many attractions in a single day. But for Nan Nan, it was the happiest day of her life. All she knew was that Mommy and the handsome uncle had taken her to play with so many fun things. Her favorite was the bumper cars, where everyone got to drive around and crash into each other.
Seeing how much she loved it, Sun Dasheng deliberately bought several more tickets so she could play to her heart’s content. As a result, her fondness for this handsome uncle shot up from zero to a hundred.
「In the fast-food restaurant with the golden arches.」
She finally got to eat the fried chicken and french fries she had been craving.
Seeing her eat with her mouth slick with grease, Wang Manman wiped her lips and told her to eat slowly. But the little girl paid her no mind and ate with abandon. It wasn’t that she had stopped being afraid of her mother or no longer listened to her. Rather, she had discovered that as long as the handsome uncle spoke up for her, Mommy wouldn’t scold her.
This little discovery made her ecstatic. Someone who could make Mommy listen had finally appeared! And he was always on her side.
「Later that evening,」
She returned to her new home.
The new house was a little unfamiliar, but she adapted quickly. Her room had been specially decorated and filled with all her favorite dolls and toys. Even the soft pink bed from her old home had been "brought" over.
"Nan Nan, do you like this room?" Wang Manman asked as she led her daughter inside.
"Wow! It’s so pretty! Thank you, Mommy! Nan Nan loves it."
Little girls are such visual creatures. She was won over in an instant, falling in love with her new home.
After lulling her daughter to sleep, Wang Manman went back out to the balcony and hugged Sun Dasheng from behind as he gazed at the scenery. She pressed her face against his back and said, "Thank you, Brother Sun."
"Have there been any problems at the restaurant since you’ve been away these past two days?" Sun Dasheng asked, his eyes on the city’s nightscape.
"No worries. I hired a new manager to handle everything, so I won’t have to go in as often anymore.
"I’ll just need to pop in for inspections occasionally," she explained.
Wang Manman moved to stand in front of him, rose onto her tiptoes, and pressed her lips to his.
Several minutes later, they finally broke the kiss. Flushed from holding her breath, Wang Manman looked up at him. He seemed completely unaffected by their long kiss, as if it had been nothing at all.
"What’s your lung capacity?" Wang Manman asked.
Sun Dasheng pinched her rosy cheek. "Never measured it. Want to help me test it?"
"How would I do that?"
The next second, his mouth covered hers again. This time, the kiss lasted much longer. He only released her when she was about to run out of air.
"That’s how," he said.
She stared at him, panting for air, while he looked as though the test had been far too easy. His expression was completely untroubled.
She pounded his chest with her small fist. "You’re such a freak!"
Then, the "freak" she spoke of scooped her into his arms. There on the balcony, against the backdrop of the city’s countless lights, they began to make love.
"Someone might see us," she gasped, moving up and down in his arms.
"It’s fine," he explained. "This is the tallest building in the area. And I had the balcony glass specially replaced for you—you can see out, but no one can see in."
His explanation helped her relax.
「After their workout,」
They went back to the bedroom to sleep. Going to bed early meant waking up early, but waking up too early had its own side effects. For Sun Dasheng and Wang Manman, it meant starting another round in bed.
