Jiang Shaoqing took his hand: "You'll know when you come with me."
Mu Jiuchen, half-believing, followed him to earn money.
Meanwhile, Meng Yuan returned to her room and covered herself with the quilt.
Thinking of yesterday's scene, she couldn't calm down.
After separating from Jiang Nuan, she received the address from He Mingrun and drove there alone.
He Mingrun had booked a high-end restaurant. This time, he wasn't waiting for her downstairs, but in a private room.
As soon as she entered, a bouquet of delicate, vibrant roses was handed to her.
Immediately after, He Mingrun's cheerful voice followed: "Miss Meng Yuan, congratulations on regaining your single status."
She was taken aback and looked at He Mingrun. He was smiling brilliantly, looking very happy, as if he was particularly pleased that she was single again.
She also smiled and took the roses, their faint, fresh scent filling her nostrils.
This was the first time she had received real roses; last time it was sugar flowers that had sweetened her for days.
During dinner, He Mingrun was more of a gentleman than a gentleman, serving her food and pouring her soup, being several times better than a boyfriend.
When they went to watch a movie, it was already a very good romantic film, touching and captivating. As the relationship between the male and female leads reached its peak, several couples nearby were kissing.
Shy, she hid in He Mingrun's arms.
The moment she lunged into his embrace, she clearly heard a delighted laugh from above.
It was light and gentle, causing her heart to tremble slightly.
He smelled faintly of perfume, a scent she couldn't quite place, but it was pleasant and subtle, almost imperceptible if one wasn't paying attention.
His silk shirt was thin, and as her face pressed against it, she could clearly feel the warmth radiating from him.
She clearly felt He Mingrun's body stiffen momentarily, then quickly return to normal. His hand also rested on her waist.
This made her even more shy than seeing the couple next to them kissing.
She suddenly looked up at He Mingrun, only to find him looking down at her, his dark, gentle eyes glinting with an indescribable, predatory intensity.
As they gazed at each other, a subtle, unspoken affection began to spread between them.
He Mingrun said nothing, simply watching her, his hand on her waist feeling warm against her skin.
Her face instantly flushed as red as fire, and she abruptly pulled away from his embrace.
At that moment, she felt so shy that she wanted to disappear on the spot.
He Mingrun seemed to sense her awkwardness and remained silent, his hand still resting on her waist.
Later, after leaving the cinema, she still felt the atmosphere was subtle.
This subtle atmosphere continued in the car and all the way to her doorstep.
Only when she got out of the car did He Mingrun look at her and say, "Yuan Yuan, thank you. I had a wonderful evening. See you again soon!"
With that, he drove away, even thoughtfully arranging for his assistant to bring her car back.
She returned home in a daze, wondering if she and He Mingrun were actually starting to date.
The moment the thought of dating crossed her mind, her heart skipped a beat.
Ahhh...
This feeling was killing her!
"Yuan Yuan."
"Ah..." The voice from the doorway startled Meng Yuan.
Her scream also startled Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan walked towards her and asked, "Why are you so jumpy?"
Upon hearing Jiang Nuan's voice, Meng Yuan instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
She had tossed and turned all night and only woke up now.
"No, Nuan Nuan, what's up?" Meng Yuan slowly emerged from her covers, her eyes half-closed as she looked at her.
Jiang Nuan observed her meaningfully: "Yun Yun is coming back today. Go pick her up. I have something to do this afternoon."
Meng Yuan nodded, "Okay, I'll go pick her up later."
Jiang Nuan looked curiously at her tired face and asked with a smile, "Yuan Yuan, was your date yesterday smooth? You look exhausted."
At the mention of this, Meng Yuan's face instantly turned red. "No way, it wasn't a date at all. Just go handle your business, I'll go pick up Yun Yun."
Jiang Nuan gave her a deep look. Wasn't this the state of being too excited from a date to sleep?
And her covering herself with the quilt just now, wasn't it because she was shy remembering a certain moment?
Jiang Nuan didn't expose her. At this moment, Meng Yuan needed her own space to shrink herself into a turtle.
She went downstairs and saw some fruit and a tablet. She paused for a moment, wondering who had been there, or if the three children had bought them.
Looking around the house, there was no one.
Kuo Bao had gone to the company for a signing, and Xiao Hu Li had gone shopping. So, where was Xiao Jin Li?
Seeing the three tablets and the fruit on the floor, Jiang Nuan was truly puzzled. She took out her phone and dialed Xiao Jin Li.
However, she called twice without an answer.
Jiang Nuan looked at her phone, lost in thought. Where had this little one gone?
Meanwhile, at Red Star Plaza, in the children's play center, an event was underway.
Many parents had brought their children to play games, and the sounds of laughter were heartening.
The first-place winner of the game would receive a prize of two hundred yuan and a set of figurines, which Jiang Shaoqing particularly liked, and they were quite expensive.
On the stage, on the red carpet, parents and children had their feet tied together. The host on stage was loudly cheering them on.
"Dear moms and dads and little ones, the competition is about to begin. Go! Go! Go!"
Jiang Shaoqing looked up at the clumsy Mu Jiuchen.
He said, "Dad, hurry up later. See that set of figurines? I must get first place today and earn that two hundred yuan."
Mu Jiuchen looked down at his son. He had seen such parent-child activities at company carnivals before and envied those parents who brought their children to play in the amusement park.
He had never dreamed that he would one day be able to participate in such parent-child games with his own child like other parents.
His eyes felt a little warm, and he nodded, "Shaoqing, we will definitely get first place."
Jiang Shaoqing smiled and nodded, "Dad, cheer up!"
Mu Jiuchen smiled and replied, "...Son, cheer up!"
"Alright! All the little ones and moms and dads, please get ready. Our event is about to begin. Three laps, and the first-place winner will receive this year's most popular children's figurine."
Mu Jiuchen looked down at his son, "Xiao Jin Li, are you ready?"
He was very happy that his son had brought him here.
It gave him a chance to grow up with them.
Jiang Shaoqing grinned and nodded vigorously, "Dad, you have to cheer up. Get mom to marry you sooner, and our family can be reunited sooner. In the future, Dad and Mom will accompany us to play in these parent-child activities together."
"Mom is too busy and doesn't have time to bring us to the amusement park." Sometimes he envied the children who could come to the amusement park with both their parents.
"Okay!" Mu Jiuchen nodded heavily. With his son's support, how long until he could win the beauty's heart?
At this moment, the host's voice rang out again, "Alright, on my command, the competition begins!"
