By the corner of his eye, Fu Qingli quietly sneaked a glance at the woman next to him. The radiant streetlight flushed away her icy aura. Her eyes captured tenderness when she stared at her daughter, making his heart skip a beat. It was a strange electrifying feeling. It was a noisy environment, yet he felt calm. It was as if there were only three of them in the world. With weird tingles spreading from his core, he could hear his thumping heartbeat. Perhaps Xixi and the rest were right. He should try to give the relationship a go or better, woo her. He did not hate the feeling. More so, he was happy when he was with her. Lu Li glanced over and met the man's dark and lean eyes that carried a rare gentleness. It was hard to stop her racing heart when a man with such stunning looks gazed at her with such tender and loving eyes. She had to admit that he had a face that could take anyone's breath away. The handsome family of three were head-turners. The passers-by gave them friendly and envious looks. Getting prouder by the minute, Lu Guoguo leaped and jumped like a penguin in delight. One kid in the front was flying high in the air with his parents lifting him by the arms. Lu Guoguo thought it was interesting and fussed about wanting the same too. "You'd get hurt." Lu Li stood firm on her ground, not wanting her to be injured. "Fine. I don't want it then." Lu Guoguo lowered her head and bit her lip in disappointment. She gave Fu Qingli a puppy dog look. Feeling sorry, Fu Qingli tried to convince Lu Li. "How about if it's just a while?" His voice softened. Furrowing her brows, Lu Li watched the other family of three walking by before solemnly refusing, "No!" How could he horse around together with Guoguo? Kids had fragile limbs. What if she got hurt? "Just a while." Fu Qingli continued to get Lu Li to come around. Lifting her head, Lu Guoguo gazed at Lu Li while biting her lips with anticipation written all over her doe eyes. Lu Li looked at the adult and child duo, taken aback by Fu Qingli's behavior. In the end, she gave in. "Just a little while." Fu Qingli curled his lips in glee. Lu Guoguo turned her head around and gave Fu Qingli a sneaky smile. It was adorable. Lu Li had a feeling that the father and daughter pulled a fast one on her. Having gotten her way, Lu Guoguo asked for more after one flying jump. Her melodious laughter was infectious to the people around. A handful of the crowd at the amusement park went to watch the performances. Shen Xi's group took Lu Zhen to try out a few attractions that were favorites among boys; thrilling and kid-friendly at the same time. They nearly played the night away, yet Lu Zhen's eyes were still wide and bright past eleven o'clock. He still wanted to have more fun. However, Fu Qingli called Shen Xi to meet up at the entrance. It was time for the kids to go home. Lu Zhen's relationship with Shen Xi and Song Wenye hit a breakthrough in the course of one night. Compared to other members of the family, the little man was already very fond of Shen Xi, to begin with. As for Song Wenye, she was the life of the party and loved to put a smile on children's faces. Anyone could feel at ease with her, be it an adult or child. Lu Zhen was no exception. Li Yuan and Yu Yuanxi gave Lu Zhen horsey rides, so the little boy had a major change of attitude toward the pair. It appeared that Lu Zhen had opened up to them. Fu Qingli was going to drive Lu Li and the two kids home. At departure, Lu Zhen was the one who was reluctant to leave as he clung onto Shen Xi's arm. Letting go in hesitation, he waved them goodbye while expressing the dismay in his eyes. "See you next time." Shen Xi waved at him. "Lil' Zhen, when are your holidays? I'll take you to the TV station and recording studio. How about that?" Song Wenye did not want the little man to leave. The kid might not say much, but he was sensible and adorable. He would grow up to be a heartthrob and sweep many girls off of their feet for sure. "January the fifteenth." Lu Zhen gave her a specific answer. "Okay." Song Wenye nodded. "I'll look for you then. Give us a call or a video call if you miss us. We'll contact you via video call too. You better not reject our calls." Lu Zhen earnestly bobbed his tiny head. "Sure."

"I want to go too. Is it fun?" Jumping out, Lu Guoguo raised her hand and shyly asked. Song Wenye replied, "It's fun. It's really fun. I'm a superstar. You can go home and watch my shows. You should be able to watch it on TV." Lil' Zhen was very smart. He knew a lot without being taught. Song Wenye was about to show him the ropes when he whipped out a phone and began searching for her shows. "Mommy, can brother and I go have fun with Aunty?" Dying to go, Lu Guoguo asked Lu Li in anticipation. Raising her hand, Song Wenye gravely promised, "Ms. Lu, I'm good with the kids. My group members love children too. I promise we'll take good care of them." "They'll bother you." Lu Li could tell that her son was fond of them. Although the boy was an oddball, he was intelligent and able to tell the good from the bad. Lu Zhen returned kindness with kindness. The Fu family were nice people. She was grateful that they treated her daughter and son well. Over the years, there were not many who were genuine to them. Although Lu Li tried to keep the children away, the kids would soon find out a lot of people in society were malicious and judgmental sooner or later. These people were the reason why Lil' Zhen hid in his shell. Lu Li was out of alternatives to have him enjoy an innocent and a happy childhood like other kids. "No, not at all. Get Xixi to bring them if you're not free." Song Wenye smiled brightly. "But it's better if all of you can make it." Lu Li could not say no to Song Wenye's kindness and enthusiasm. She nodded and uttered with a smile, "Sure. We'll drop by." The Glitzy Girls was a popular girl group in China. Lu Li knew about the group despite not paying much attention to the entertainment world. After all, their adverts and endorsement posters were plastered everywhere, including in malls. They seemed like a group of adorable girls.
