Night Tour of New Moon Mountain

A beauty who can bring down nations and cities needs no makeup; those who need makeup to become beautiful aren't true beauties.

Speaking of makeup, Ziyan got annoyed and said irritably, "You have the nerve to say that? I usually only wear light makeup, and I only use high-end international brands. Is that why you won't let Mengmeng kiss me? What do you mean by that!"

Seeing that Ziyan was about to unleash her fury, Zhang Han shook his head helplessly. He didn't want to argue with a woman, so he said indifferently, "Let's eat. After dinner, we'll go to the amusement park on the mountain."

"Hmph!" Ziyan snorted and began to eat the delicious food in front of her.

Ocean Park has two main amusement areas: the one at the foot of the mountain is the Marine Park, and the one on the mountain is the Summit Park. After dinner, the three of them took the sightseeing cable car to the mountain and spent the afternoon at the Summit Park.

As dusk began to fall, the family of three left Ocean Park.

Overall, today's outing was very enjoyable, and Ziyan's nerves, which had been tense from her demanding work, were finally relaxed.

"You already have a car as soon as we arrive in Hong Kong. It seems your life isn't as bad as I thought," Ziyan mumbled from the back seat, holding the tired Little Princess in her arms.

"The car is rented," Zhang Han replied. After a moment's thought, he said, "I'll take you back."

"Don't be ridiculous! Are you expecting me and Mengmeng to take a taxi?" Ziyan said irritably.

"I mean I'll take you back, and Mengmeng will come with me," Zhang Han clarified.

Hearing this, Ziyan frowned, and her tone turned cold, "What do you mean?"

"You're busy with work and don't have time to take care of Mengmeng," Zhang Han thought for a moment and said, "What I mean is, let me take care of Mengmeng. You can come see her when you have time."

"Okay, Mengmeng wants to be with Daddy," Mengmeng said, and even though she was tired, she raised her hands and cheered twice. Of course, she'd rather be with Daddy than be looked after by Wang Juan.

"No!" Ziyan refused without hesitation, her tone firm.

"Why not?" Zhang Han raised an eyebrow.

"Mengmeng is mine!" Ziyan glared at Zhang Han, refusing to back down.

Zhang Han looked at Ziyan, who was fiercely protective of her child, and couldn't help but chuckle. His tone softened as he said, "I'm not trying to take Mengmeng away. Mengmeng has always been your daughter. I just want to make some nutritious meals for her so she can grow up healthy and happy. And I've already prepared most of it."

"Mommy, can we stay with Daddy together?" Mengmeng, wise beyond her years, seized the opportunity and pleaded with Ziyan from her arms.

"You just want to cook for her?" Ziyan asked.

Her tone was already hesitant now, and seeing Mengmeng's expression, she felt a pang of sympathy.

She really didn't have much time, and wouldn't be able to spend much time with Mengmeng, especially with the upcoming MV filming and the possibility of traveling.

She also felt that it would be better to have Zhang Han look after Mengmeng than Wang Juan, but she was afraid. She was afraid Mengmeng would become too dependent on her father and leave her.

"Mm," Zhang Han responded.

"That's not right!" Ziyan's eyes widened. "You're lying again. Anyone can make nutritious meals."

"When have I ever lied?" Zhang Han was slightly taken aback.

He had never lied his whole life; he always said what he meant, and there was no such thing as deceiving someone.

However, Ziyan's response made him want to laugh and cry at the same time.

"Didn't you lie to Mengmeng about the paradise last time? And now you're saying you'll make nutritious meals. Can't Aunt Wang make nutritious meals?" Ziyan snorted.

"Daddy lied? There's no paradise?" Mengmeng blinked her eyes, looking a little sad, on the verge of tears.

"Yes, there is. How could Daddy lie to you? Don't you believe me? I'll take you to see it right now, okay?" Zhang Han quickly said, giving Ziyan a slightly reproachful look.

"Huh?" Mengmeng's expression quickly changed from gloom to sunshine. "Really?"

"Really, Daddy will take you to see it now, okay?" Zhang Han said with a smile.

"Yay!" Mengmeng became happy again instantly.

Ziyan was slightly stunned by this, her heart filled with doubt:

Seeing his confident demeanor, could it be that there really is some kind of paradise?

Watching Zhang Han drive towards New Moon Bay, Ziyan felt like he had actually come up with something.

"Where are you taking us?" Ziyan finally couldn't resist her curiosity and asked.

"To, to the paradise!" Mengmeng answered first.

"Hehehe," Zhang Han chuckled and shook his head. "You'll know when we get there."

"Hmph, stop being so mysterious!" Ziyan pouted and looked out the window.

Zhukeng District was not far from New Moon Bay, only about a twenty-minute drive.

As the car passed New Moon Bay and headed towards New Moon Mountain, Ziyan wanted to ask again, her lips moving slightly, but she ultimately didn't.

She knew it would be useless to ask; this stubborn man wouldn't tell her.

They arrived at the foot of New Moon Mountain, and the car stopped.

"We're here. Let's get out," Zhang Han said, clapping his hands.

"No way! After all that, you're just taking us to this godforsaken place?" Ziyan's eyes widened.

"You'll know when you get down."

Zhang Han gave a mysterious smile and got out of the car first.

Ziyan curiously hugged Mengmeng and followed him. After walking for two minutes, they reached the edge of New Moon Mountain.

The sky had grown late, and the bright moonlight spilled onto the ground. Even without other lights, one could clearly see the surroundings, but the jungle ahead was shrouded in darkness.

The trees were dense and numerous, blocking out the moonlight. The pitch blackness made Ziyan feel a little apprehensive.

"What are we going to do?" Ziyan asked, a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"Go up the mountain!" Zhang Han replied curtly.

"Up the mountain!" Mengmeng exclaimed excitedly. However, she was also a little afraid of the dark. Looking at the jungle ahead, she said in her milky voice, "Daddy, it's too dark up ahead. Mengmeng is scared."

"Come here, Dad will hold you, and you won't be scared anymore." Zhang Han took Mengmeng, who was reaching out her little arms, from Ziyan's embrace.

Ziyan had held her for a few minutes and was indeed getting tired, so she directly handed Mengmeng over to Zhang Han.

"Shall Dad call out a playmate for you?" Zhang Han asked, holding the Little Princess with a smile.

"Okay, what kind of playmate?" Mengmeng asked with a cute expression.

At this moment, even Ziyan was a little curious, not understanding what Zhang Han was planning to do.

Zhang Han took two steps forward and called out, "Xiao Hei!"

"Woof woof woof..."

A dog's bark echoed from New Moon Mountain.

"A dog?" Ziyan was slightly taken aback.

In less than two minutes, a rustling sound came from the grass in front.

Suddenly, a black shadow darted out at high speed!

Xiao Hei was as large as an adult Tibetan Mastiff. Ziyan couldn't see clearly for a moment, her eyes widened, and she let out a startled cry: "Ah!"

"Wow!" Mengmeng, hearing her mommy's scream, also cried out in her nervousness.

"Awooo... woo!"

The two sharp screams startled Xiao Hei, making it halt its hundred-and-eighty-mile-per-hour dash. It stopped abruptly, its body prostrating on the ground, a hint of grievance still visible on its face.

If it could speak, it would surely say:

"What's the matter? I came here to greet you kindly, and you made such a dog-scaring noise!"

"What, what kind of dog is this?" Ziyan asked, her hands gripping Zhang Han's sleeve.

"An Iron-clad Golden Emperor Dog," Zhang Han replied softly.

"Emperor Dog?" Ziyan blinked.

"Wow, what a beautiful dog," Mengmeng said, her eyes full of little hearts. "Daddy, can I pet it?"

"Yes, go ahead and pet it." Zhang Han bent down, allowing the Little Princess to reach Xiao Hei.

Seeing this, Xiao Hei wagged its tail happily, stood up, lowered its head slightly, and nuzzled closer.

"Mengmeng, you can't touch it!" Ziyan said. "We don't know if it bites yet, and dogs have a lot of germs on them. You can't touch it."

Although Ziyan also liked fluffy dogs, the fact that dogs carried germs was undeniable, and children should especially not get too close to them.

"It's okay," Zhang Han said with a faint smile. "His name is Xiao Hei, and he drank the same water you did before. He doesn't have those germs on him now, he doesn't shed, he doesn't have any strange odors, and his breath doesn't even stink. Feel free to play with him, Ziyan. You can pet him too."

As he spoke, Mengmeng, in Zhang Han's arms, patted Xiao Hei's head several times.

"You're lying again. What kind of dog is like that in the world?" Ziyan scoffed lightly.

There was a hint of feminine charm in her tone, which she herself didn't notice.

"Why would I lie to you?" Zhang Han said, feeling somewhat speechless.

"Alright, I'll believe you this time," Ziyan said, giving Zhang Han a rare slight smile. She reached out and petted Xiao Hei's head a few times, finding its fur very soft and pleasant to the touch.

"Okay, let's go up the mountain. Xiao Hei, lead the way," Zhang Han said.

Hearing his master's command, Xiao Hei puffed out its chest, held its head high, wagged its tail and hindquarters, and strutted forward.

It walked slowly, step by step, leading the way for the family behind.

Zhang Han, carrying Mengmeng, with Ziyan gripping his sleeve, entered the dark jungle.

It felt dark from the outside, but once inside, they found it wasn't as dark as they thought. The trees ahead could still be seen clearly by the faint moonlight.

After walking for five minutes, the area suddenly opened up.

Ziyan and Mengmeng became the first guests of the New Moon Mountain territory.

"Wow, what a beautiful place," Ziyan said with slight surprise.

From here, they could see the scenery of the front mountain, lush green grasslands, and the fresh air. It made Ziyan yearn for such a pastoral life.

However, it was rather dark, and she couldn't clearly see the patch of flowers on the other side. If she could have seen them, Ziyan's mood would likely have been several times more excited, as women are very fond of the beauty of flowers.

"Wow, wow, what a beautiful place!" Mengmeng said exaggeratedly, mimicking Ziyan's tone. Suddenly, the Little Princess's gaze fell upon the magnificent Thunder Sun Tree at the summit!

"Daddy, Daddy, look there! What a huge tree!" Mengmeng said, pointing forward with her little arm.

"Huh?" Ziyan's gaze followed, and she let out a surprised sound. "What kind of tree is this? It's so strange."
