"Awoo…" Xiao Hei wagged his big tongue and turned his body.

He lowered himself, and after Mengmeng sat on him, Xiao Hei crawled forward, wiggling and wobbling. Mengmeng didn't slide off, which made her burst into laughter.

Seeing this, Zhang Han smiled slightly. His eyes were very gentle. Wasn't this the kind of life he had always longed for?

After watching for a while, Zhang Han started working.

Transplanting seedlings meant planting young rice plants in the paddy field.

Zhang Han was also a quick learner when it came to planting crops. He knew the assembly line process and that the optimal density for producing high-quality rice was about 30 cm x 20 cm.

So, Zhang Han estimated the distance and planted the seedlings one by one.

Two hours later, the paddy field was filled with seedlings. I have to say, the seller was very specialized. After asking Zhang Han about the area, the supplies they provided were just right, only missing four or five to fill the entire field.

After finishing this, the time had already reached one o'clock in the afternoon.

Mengmeng was full of energy and was still running back and forth with Xiao Hei on the grass.

"Mengmeng, let's go have lunch first, and then we can play when we're done eating."

Zhang Han washed his feet with water from the paddy field and looked at himself, feeling both amused and helpless.

He had really forgotten something again. He should have changed clothes before coming to do farm work. But Zhang Han shook his head slightly, as if he didn't have any clothes specifically for farm work.

"Daddy, um, what are we going to eat? Mengmeng isn't hungry yet."

Even though Mengmeng was covered in sweat, she still hadn't had enough of playing with Xiao Hei.

I have to say, Xiao Hei was truly a high-level playmate. He frolicked with Mengmeng, and when Mengmeng fell, he would quickly rush over to be a cushion. In fact, later on, Mengmeng would deliberately fall a few times, or fall when she couldn't catch up to Xiao Hei.

It really made Xiao Hei freeze, but he also loved playing with his little owner very much.

"Let's go, Daddy will take you to eat Western food."

Zhang Han tidied up briefly, walked over, picked up Mengmeng, and said with a smile.

"Western food, hmm… okay, then, then we'll come back to play after we eat, right?" Mengmeng nodded obediently and asked again.

"Yes, we'll come back to play after we eat." Zhang Han smiled and kissed Mengmeng's cheek.

"Oh my, it's all drool." Mengmeng reached out her small palm and gently scratched her cheek.

Actually, it was Mengmeng's sweat. After Zhang Han kissed her, the sweat stuck to her skin, and Mengmeng felt itchy.

"Mengmeng actually dislikes Daddy, Daddy is so sad." Zhang Han pouted, putting on a sad expression.

"Uh-huh, I don't dislike you, Mengmeng doesn't dislike you." Seeing this, Mengmeng quickly brought her cherry-like lips over and kissed Zhang Han's face a few times: "Mwah mwah mwah, Mengmeng would never dislike Daddy."

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Han laughed heartily, feeling that since he had the Little Princess, it was as if a morning sun had risen in the long night, illuminating the entire world.

This darkness was like Zhang Han's five hundred years of loneliness, emptiness, and other negative emotions, while Mengmeng was the morning sun that softened his heart.

After driving for twenty minutes, they arrived at a Western restaurant called Bombana in New Moon Bay. Upon entering, the decor was luxurious, and even the service staff were tall foreign women.

"Hello sir, Welcome to Bombana, May I have a meal for two people?"

A beautiful waitress who came to greet them spoke fluent English.

"What did you say? Do you speak Chinese?" Zhang Han asked.

His English level was only intermediate. He could understand slower speech or simple sentences, but he couldn't understand fast-paced connected sentences.

Coincidentally, two local middle-aged men passed by. When they heard Zhang Han's words, a hint of mockery appeared in their eyes as they looked at him.

"You can tell he's from the mainland. This is an English-themed restaurant. He doesn't even understand the rules before coming in. Only people from the mainland would do something like this," one of the middle-aged men with short hair said to his companion in English.

"What a disgrace," his companion also mumbled in English.

The two men thought Zhang Han couldn't understand them, so they spoke unscrupulously. Even the beautiful waitress who overheard them could hear them clearly, but she just smiled slightly.

Zhang Han didn't understand, but the little one in his arms did!

Mengmeng looked angry, pointed at the two men, and said loudly in a childlike voice but with very fluent English:

"You don't bark in front of the ant deity!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of the two men froze. They blushed and quickly left.

Being overheard saying bad things about someone to their face was not a good thing, after all. Moreover, locals like them considered children who could speak English to be well-educated and would look up to them.

"What's wrong, Mengmeng?" Zhang Han asked with a slight smile.

"They're bad, bad people, they said bad things about Daddy…" Mengmeng angrily repeated the two men's words to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han patted Mengmeng's head and said with a faint smile, "Mengmeng, no matter how arrogant they think they are, they are still ants. Don't pay attention to them. Let's go eat. Mengmeng, you're amazing. Your English is so good, we'll have to rely on you to order food outside."

"Really?" Hearing this, Mengmeng immediately became happy again, feeling that she finally had a very useful role in front of Daddy.

"Of course, Mengmeng, you're the best." Zhang Han smiled and flicked Mengmeng's little cheek.

This made the Little Princess giggle. Finally, with Mengmeng's translation, Zhang Han successfully ordered a rather sumptuous Western meal.

While eating Western food, Zhang Han was already thinking that he needed to set aside some time recently to learn other languages.

English, German, French, Oppa, Yamete, Ikku Ikku, I need to learn them all.

How can mere languages challenge the renowned Immortal Lord Hanyang?

After their meal, Zhang Han brought Mengmeng back to New Moon Mountain.

Mengmeng continued to play with Xiao Hei in the grass, while Zhang Han began planting crops like wheat.

Wheat was planted on a flat area, where the soil was swept back and forth with a tool, seeds were sprinkled and covered, while corn and soybeans required furrows, with seeds planted on the raised ridges.

On New Moon Mountain, Zhang Han worked in the fields, with Mengmeng and Xiao Hei playing nearby, filling this paradise with a warm atmosphere.

Imperial Dynasty Entertainment Company, Ziyan's office.

"Sister Yan," Zhou Fei walked in from outside, sighing with relief, and said, "That old witch really gave you some face. Although the MV shooting team isn't great, they at least arranged it, and the final touches on the song are done too."

"Then let's go to the recording studio. We'll record the song these few days and then shoot the MV," Ziyan said, standing up.

"Sister Yan, do we have to be so rushed? You've been quite tired these past few days. How about resting this afternoon?" Zhou Fei raised an eyebrow.

"No, we don't have that much time. I heard Xu Ruoyu is already rushing her MV. Shooting an MV also requires post-production and promotion, so time is tight. Besides, I want to finish up quickly so I can spend quality time with Mengmeng," Ziyan shook her head slightly.

"Alright then." Zhou Fei pouted, agreeing wholeheartedly, "We should spend more time with Mengmeng. Otherwise, that heartless little girl might be snatched away by Zhang Han. Look, you didn't let Mengmeng go out today, and Zhang Han just ignored you and took her away. If this continues, what will happen?"

"Hmph!" Ziyan led the way out, humming lightly along the way, and said irritably, "I'm going to talk to him when we get back tonight. He wants to take over in just a few days? Dream on!"

"Dream on! Hehe, tonight I'll kick him out!" Zhou Fei, who always enjoyed stirring up trouble, chuckled upon hearing Ziyan's words.

Meanwhile, in a 22nd-floor apartment in the scenic building complex of New Moon Bay Huamei Residential Area.

Xue Qian sat by the window, looking exhausted. Beside him on the table were several bottles of Rioja cocktails, over a dozen in total, with six empty bottles already. A faint hint of intoxication was visible on Xue Qian's face.

"Old Xue, don't get so worked up. It's happened, and we can only think of other solutions. Since all those endorsement deals and performances are canceled, you have time to release an album. Isn't music your dream?" a square-faced man, nearly thirty, sighed beside him.

Xue Qian didn't reply. He stared blankly at the coastline outside the window, took another large gulp of wine, and sighed.

Seeing Xue Qian's dejected state, the square-faced man also sighed, feeling the hardship he was going through.

Xue Qian was a popular A-list male singer with a large fan base. His representative songs, such as "Ugly Monster," "A Few Miles Around," and "Animal World," were deeply loved by people. In the past two years, he had frequently appeared on variety shows, skyrocketing his popularity and earning him the title "Variety Prince." However, the past month had brought him a devastating blow.

He had broken up with his ex-girlfriend a year ago. They had separated due to many factors, but a month ago, his ex-girlfriend revealed some disputes from their romantic and personal lives.

These disputes wouldn't have garnered much attention between ordinary couples, but he was a hot and popular male star. Moreover, the information revealed was all unfavorable to him, instantly branding him as a "scumbag."

Within a month, all variety shows, commercial performances, and endorsements had canceled their collaborations.

Seeing Xue Qian drowning his sorrows in alcohol, his agent, the square-faced man, said indignantly, "Old Xue, that woman is too much. What's her goal in causing all this trouble? I really can't understand. Is everything she says true? And the media reporting indiscriminately, it's outrageous. Should we sue them?"

Xue Qian was stunned for a long time. After finishing a bottle of wine, he sighed and said, "There's no right or wrong in love!"

"Sigh, Old Xue." The square-faced man gave a wry smile and said, "You're too stubborn and too soft in this regard. If it were me, I wouldn't have tolerated it for a month. I would have fought back long ago! Damn it, isn't a peaceful breakup between boyfriends and girlfriends good? Why would that woman want to cut off all contact like this?"

"Alright, Li Fan, I won't continue to be depressed. I will release some information tonight, and the concert in Linhai City on the 15th will proceed as scheduled. I want to release a few new songs. Li Fan, please help me see if there are any better songs to submit," Xue Qian stood up and said calmly.

"What?" Li Fan was stunned at first, then overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
