On the way, Yan Bingxue made a call. On the other end, the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau had just arrived home. Before his car had even stopped, he immediately told the driver to turn around and head back.
When Su Chen and Yan Bingxue arrived, the director personally came out to receive them. Su Chen once again witnessed the power of capital.
There was no such thing as getting off work on time!
If the president of a trillion-dollar group wanted to get married, even a Civil Affairs Bureau that had already closed would open its doors for them!
The mother of his children really was incredible~
After they submitted the paperwork, they still needed a photo for the marriage certificate.
Yan Bingxue felt that it was important and did not want to take one casually, so she suggested going next door to the photo studio for a beautiful picture.
Thus, the family temporarily headed to the studio next door.
Girls took a long time to do their makeup, while Su Chen only needed a quick touch-up. Tuantuan and Lele also wanted to take pictures with their dad and mom. Their young skin was soft and delicate, their big adorable eyes and long curled lashes already perfect without any embellishment.
So, before long, Su Chen was waiting with his son and daughter while the mother of his children got her makeup done.
Lele was still somewhat uncomfortable around Su Chen. He looked around, then suddenly spotted an Ultraman model in a display case nearby. The little guy unconsciously walked toward it.
When Tuantuan saw her brother leave, she followed his gaze. The moment she spotted Ultraman, she happily tugged Su Chen's hand. "Daddy~ There's an Ultraman superhero over there! I want to take a picture with Ultraman~"
"Can Daddy take a picture for Tuantuan?"
Since the little princess had personally invited him, Su Chen naturally would not refuse. He picked up his daughter and walked over to the display case.
"Ding... Congratulations, host. You have signed in beside Ultraman. Reward: Beginner Mecha Manufacturing Technique."
Damn! Mecha Manufacturing Technique!
The system was being way too generous!
Awesome!
This was not some watch or luxury car. This was a genuine skill!
And mechas were cutting-edge technology that the entire Blue Star was pursuing right now. Chaofan Group was also trying to develop this field. Su Chen had looked into it before, so after comprehending the skill in just a few seconds, he immediately realized that this beginner manufacturing technique had already completely surpassed the publicly available progress of current mecha research!
Holy crap, the system was really amazing!
Tuantuan had no idea what her father had gained in that brief instant. Still excited, she tugged her dad's hand and pointed at the Ultraman in the display case. "Daddy~ Look, Ultraman!"
"Tuantuan likes Ultraman because it's super awesome and can grow really, really big!"
Seeing something he liked, Lele temporarily forgot about his issues with Su Chen and took the initiative to say, "Mom will make a real Ultraman someday!"
"I'll work with Mom too. When I grow up, I'll design a super awesome superhero—a Combat Mecha even more awesome than Ultraman!"
Su Chen looked at his son with clear approval in his eyes.
Little Lele was pretty good! He was so young, yet he already had such a clear and ambitious goal. Just like his dad!
He had had similar goals when he was little, such as becoming a scientist, or getting Ultraman's transformation key and becoming a great hero who saved the world!
Lele was only three years old, but this goal had already won over his father's heart!
After feeling proud for a while, Su Chen said to his son, "Combat Mechas are nothing to your dad!"
Tuantuan looked at him happily. Her bright black-and-white eyes sparkled as though filled with a sky full of stars. "Daddy, can you make a big mecha?"
Lele also stared at him in surprise. After a long moment, he pursed his lips and said, "Hmph, Mom hasn't even made one yet. I don't believe you."
For a moment, Su Chen wanted to pick up this tiny brat who was pretending to be so mature and give him a proper talking-to, so he would understand his father's authority.
But when he saw the way Lele looked at Ultraman, his heart suddenly softened again.
Ah, he was just a three-year-old little brat~
As a dad, he should be more understanding!
He was already a big boy himself, so he would not stoop to a child's level!
Su Chen did not say anything, but Tuantuan was unhappy. Like a mother hen protecting her chicks, she spread her arms and shielded her dad behind her, puffing out her little cheeks as she argued with her brother.
"Brother, you're bad! You have to believe Daddy~"
"Daddy is super awesome! He can chase away bad guys, and he can make big mechas too!"
"Daddy also has a super expensive car!"
"Daddy is the best! Hmph!"
Tuantuan left Lele speechless for a moment. The expression on his little face softened for a few seconds before he finally conceded defeat.
Mom had said that he was the older brother, so he had to spoil his little sister and not argue with her!
While Su Chen was talking with his son and daughter, the wind chime by the shop entrance suddenly rang, and a man in a casual jacket walked in.
He seemed to have come straight to this shop. The moment he entered, his gaze began searching for someone.
The internet was currently flooded with the romantic proposal involving four hundred drones. Cui Haoyu had been bored at home, scrolling through Douyin, only to find that more than a dozen posts in a row were all about it.
At first, he had not paid much attention. Later, he accidentally saw footage from a park angle. Though it showed only a silhouette in the darkness, he would never mistake his goddess.
Connecting it with the initials from earlier, he immediately guessed that someone was proposing to his goddess, Yan Bingxue!
He had rushed to the Civil Affairs Bureau to stop them, only to be told that he was already too late. Yan Bingxue had begun taking photos.
He hurried over without stopping. The moment he entered, he heard Su Chen say, "Combat Mechas are nothing," and thought, Damn, who was this guy? How could he be so arrogant?
Then he saw two adorable little ones beside Su Chen. Were those not Tuantuan and Lele?
Cui Haoyu immediately understood. This was the man who had overestimated himself and proposed to Yan Bingxue!
"Lele, as the big brother, you really should be more capable than your little sister~ You even know who is bragging!"
"Combat Mechas are very complicated. The entire world still hasn't developed a finished product. But Uncle believes that since our Lele is already so smart at such a young age, you'll definitely make an amazing Combat Mecha in the future!"
Lele turned around, looked at Cui Haoyu, and furrowed his tiny brows.
Sure enough, some things had to be compared.
Su Chen had felt that Lele's attitude toward him was rather cold, but seeing the disgust on his face when he looked at Cui Haoyu instantly made Su Chen feel much better.
His son really was his own son, after all!
Lele turned away and could not be bothered to respond to Cui Haoyu at all.
Cui Haoyu had been rebuffed by a three-year-old child and nearly lost his composure. He clenched his fists several times before barely managing to maintain the smile on his face.
He turned to Su Chen and said, "You're the one who proposed to Bing Xue at Central Plaza..."
"Uncle Cui, please call my mom 'Miss Yan' or 'President Yan.' My mom isn't familiar with you!" Lele said, rolling his eyes.
Su Chen secretly laughed, lowered his head, and winked at Lele.
His son had shut him down nicely!
When Lele saw Su Chen's look, he immediately shifted his gaze away.
This guy didn't think I was helping him, did he? I... just don't want anyone else thinking about Mom! Hmph, that's all! I'm firmly on Mom's side!
Cui Haoyu's mouth twitched. He gritted his teeth as he looked at Su Chen and said, "Other than being a little handsome, you look pretty ordinary!"
He gave Su Chen a distinctly hostile once-over, his gaze full of contempt.
"You got these clothes at the last minute, didn't you? The suit still has its pressing creases. Did you rent it, or borrow it?"
"A proposal with four hundred drones and a giant screen must have cost several million~ Young man, let me give you some advice: don't bite off more than you can chew!"
"There are plenty of lending platforms these days. Unfortunately, Miss Yan Bingxue isn't a woman you can win over just by taking out a few online loans!"
