The Lion King, the star of the stage, came running over, constantly waving and twisting around. When he reached Mengmeng, the actor inside the Lion King costume suppressed his voice and said:
"Children, are you afraid that I'll eat you?"
"Eek..."
When Mengmeng saw everyone's eyes turn toward her, she shyly hid in Zhang Han's arms and said timidly:
"I'm not afraid, because I have Daddy."
Seeing this, the Lion King actor lowered his voice and said:
"Roar, roar, roar! Then I'll eat your daddy too!"
"No." Mengmeng hugged Zhang Han, putting on an act as if she were protecting her daddy.
Seeing this, Zhang Han smiled faintly and lowered his head to whisper a few words to Mengmeng.
Mengmeng was very obedient. She raised her head, blinked her clear, big eyes, and said to the Lion King in a childish voice:
"Hmm! You—you—you Ants, how dare you scare people in front of this honored one? Believe it or not, my daddy can send you flying with one slap!"
The people around them were stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter. Mengmeng's adorable appearance had melted their hearts.
They merely thought Mengmeng was joking around at the amusement park. Little did they know that this was Zhang Han's unique Zhang's Education.
"Hahaha, what an adorable little princess."
The Lion King said this before moving over to perform in front of some other children.
The half-hour performance ended amid laughter and cheers. After playing for more than three hours, Zhang Han was afraid Mengmeng might be tired, so he took her to a restaurant to eat and rest.
At two in the afternoon, Zhang Han took Mengmeng to Toy Story Land under Zhang Li's guidance.
The first attraction was Toy Soldier Parachute Drop. Mengmeng, who was slightly afraid of heights, became a little frightened. After leaving, they queued up at Slinky Dog Spin. Mengmeng found it less fun than the other places, so the group headed for the next area, Fantasyland.
Mengmeng found Fantasyland very fun, especially Flights of Fantasy Parade. She happily raised her little hands and cheered.
Seeing her adorable appearance, Zhang Han smiled in relief.
If this had happened before, shy Mengmeng probably would never have acted like this. But now, after receiving Zhang's Education, Mengmeng had become a little braver.
It probably wouldn't be long before Zhang Han could raise a daughter he was satisfied with.
By the time they finished playing in Fantasyland, it was almost four in the afternoon. Under Zhang Li's guidance, their route was extremely well planned.
Their next stop was Tomorrowland. Afterward, they returned to Main Street, U.S.A. They had played most of the rides, and the sky was beginning to darken. The lights at Disneyland gradually came on, making it look completely different from during the day.
It offered a different kind of scenery. After strolling around for a while and buying some souvenirs, Zhang Li brought Zhang Han and his daughter to Sleeping Beauty Castle, the best place to watch the Disneyland fireworks.
After watching the dreamlike fireworks, their day of fun came to an end.
Back at the hotel, Zhang Han first coaxed the tired Little Princess to sleep. When he came to the living room, Zhang Li had already packed her clothes.
"Brother, I'm going to work." Zhang Li watched Zhang Han's expression and spoke cautiously.
"Mm, go ahead." Zhang Han waved his hand casually.
This surprised Zhang Li.
Her brother had a rather stubborn temper. He had always looked down on working as a Bar DJ, so Zhang Li had been worried that Zhang Han would stubbornly lecture her about it.
"However..." Zhang Han's sudden words made Zhang Li's heart rise again. He continued, "Be careful in a place like that. You're not ugly, either. If anyone harasses you, kick him straight in the groin. If anything happens, your brother will shield you."
It had been a warm and caring remark, but the words "you're not ugly" ruined the entire thing!
Zhang Li's eyes widened. "Zhang Han! What do you mean, I'm not ugly? You—you—what are you trying to say? I'm the number-one beauty DJ at the bar!"
"Huh?" Zhang Han was slightly stunned, then smiled. "All right, all right. You're beautiful, okay?"
"Hmph! You have no taste!" Zhang Li rolled her eyes. Just as she was about to leave, she remembered something and said, "By the way, Brother, you're not the same as before anymore. You can't keep spending so extravagantly. This hotel costs one hundred and eighty thousand a day—it's too expensive. Don't you still have a house in Hong Kong? You spent more than two million renovating it back then. Wouldn't it be much better than a hotel?"
"I know." Zhang Han nodded. "No one's taken care of that house for years, though. I need to have cleaners go over and tidy it up first."
"As long as you know. I'm off to work, then." Zhang Li hurriedly left after saying this.
As she walked away, an involuntary smile appeared at the corners of her lips.
Seeing Zhang Han pull himself together, she was naturally delighted as his biological younger sister.
Zhang Han sat on the sofa and casually turned on the television.
The television was showing 2012.
It was an epic disaster film. In his previous life, Zhang Han had watched it at least five times. However, when he saw the completely unfamiliar male lead on the screen, he froze.
Wasn't the protagonist John Cusack? How had he become someone else?
Zhang Han remained stunned for quite a while before getting up and walking to the computer desk to search for information on John Cusack.
Yet after searching for a long time, he couldn't find any information about this person.
No such person existed?
Zhang Han frowned. His fingers flew across the keyboard as he searched through one piece of entertainment news after another.
Gradually, the astonishment in Zhang Han's eyes grew stronger.
He discovered that not only was John Cusack nowhere to be found, but several familiar big-name stars had also vanished.
It wasn't just Hollywood stars. Some of the famous stars from Huaguo in his previous life didn't exist either.
Some films and television productions had never been made, too. Although these people made up only a small portion of the enormous entertainment industry, the news pointed to one thing.
The course of development in this life had changed!
"That's right!" Zhang Han's eyes revealed deep thought. "Ziyan, the mother of my child, didn't appear in the previous life either, yet she appeared in this one. I even have an extra daughter. I should have realized this long ago."
Perhaps the altered trajectory of this life was because of his rebirth? After all, he was Immortal Lord Hanyang. It was only natural that his descent upon Earth would cause some changes!
As he thought about it, Zhang Han smiled and shook his head.
"Whether they exist or not has nothing to do with me. My task now is to be a good daddy."
A good daddy?
To Mengmeng, he was indeed a good daddy. But... if his Zhang's Education became known, he would probably be caught up in a controversy.
There was nothing wrong with doting on one's daughter, but who taught their daughter to say "you Ants" whenever she had nothing better to do? In the eyes of ordinary people, Zhang's Education had some serious problems. Zhang Han didn't think so, though. But that didn't matter.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
As he was thinking, a sudden knocking sounded at the door.
It was almost nine o'clock. Who would come at this hour? Could it be... an escort coming to his door?
Zhang Han went over and opened the door.
To his surprise, a tall, alluring beauty wearing sunglasses stood outside.
She wore a Fendi down dress with a skirt. The pure-white fur was fresh and distinctive. Crystal high heels adorned her feet, and her fair, slender legs were even more eye-catching than the outfit itself.
She wore a silver-white Cartier watch on her left wrist, while her right hand carried a black crocodile-skin Hermes Constance shoulder bag with gold hardware.
Her outfit was exceptionally well coordinated. As a former rich second-generation heir, Zhang Han could tell at a glance how much everything she wore was worth.
The Fendi dress cost one hundred thousand, the shoes fifty thousand, the watch one hundred and fifty thousand, and the crocodile-skin bag four hundred thousand. Including the other jewelry, everything cost just under one million.
Uh... How much were those tempting legs worth?
Zhang Han's gaze lingered as he appraised the tall beauty's legs.
"Have you finished looking?"
A cold voice suddenly rang out.
The visitor naturally wasn't an escort coming to his door, but Mengmeng's mother, Ziyan.
Hearing this, Zhang Han pursed his lips. He took two final glances before withdrawing his gaze and looking up. "Why are you here?"
"Huh?" Ziyan was slightly taken aback.
Her appearance was like an enlarged version of Mengmeng's dazed look. Seeing such an expression and tone on this icy beauty immediately made her seem less aloof and more adorably silly.
However, in the next moment, the air around Ziyan turned cold.
"What do you think I'm here for?" Ziyan said resentfully. "I'm here to pick up my daughter!"
After saying this, Ziyan walked around Zhang Han and entered the room. Her eyes swept around as she asked, "Where's Emily?"
Zhang Han frowned slightly. He closed the door and said, "First, her name isn't Emily. It's Zhang Yumeng, and her nickname is Mengmeng. Second, she's sleeping, so keep your voice down."
Ziyan had already been resentful after going all the way to Shangjing and finding him absent. Now, hearing Zhang Han's words made her even angrier. She removed her glasses and glared fiercely at him. "You think you can change her name just because you say so? Why?"
"Because I'm her father. My surname is Zhang, so hers has to be Zhang too!"
Zhang Han was fine as long as this subject wasn't brought up, but mentioning it made him angry. Since ancient times, when had it ever made sense for one's child not to take one's surname?
The anger in Ziyan's heart grew even stronger. She walked up to Zhang Han and said stiffly, "I'm the child's mother. I carried her for ten months, gave birth to her, and raised her until now. It was already generous of me to let her meet you. What right did you have to change her name on your own? Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming to Hong Kong? Do you even care about me? Now you've got an attitude, just because you're her father—a father who hasn't taken care of either her or me for even a single day?"
The facts told us that one should never argue with a woman.
That tirade made the corners of Zhang Han's mouth twitch repeatedly. He sighed inwardly. Everything Ziyan had said was true.
When force failed, Zhang Han tried gentleness instead. His voice weakened as he said:
"Sit down and rest your feet. I'll pour you a glass of water."
"Hmph! Now that sounds like something a human would say!" Ziyan rolled her eyes at him irritably before gracefully sitting on the sofa in her high heels.
After pouring Ziyan a glass of water, Zhang Han sat opposite her and carefully examined her from head to toe several times.
Mengmeng's exquisite face, graceful brows, petite nose, clear, lively eyes, and thin, willow-leaf-like lips had almost all inherited Ziyan's excellent genes.
