Tang Chen stepped out of the car first.
His handsome face, upright posture, and outstanding temperament, coupled with the fact that he had just emerged from a Rolls-Royce, instantly made many young female tourists' eyes light up.
"I'm in love! What kind of perfect man is this... No, I must summon the courage of a lifetime to ask for his contact info, just in case there's a chance of something more..."
"I think you should summon the courage of a lifetime to figure out what kind of mess you are first..."
"I can't figure it out. Even if I'm a toad, I still have to go up and take a lick. Otherwise, if I miss out, I'll definitely regret it for the rest of my life!"
Many young maidens tidied up their appearances.
Then they mustered up their courage, preparing to go up and snag some contact information.
And right at that moment.
Tang Chen walked around to the other side of the car door.
Opening the door, he scooped a delicately carved little girl out from inside.
The girls who had just gathered up their courage saw their smiles gradually freeze.
Immediately following that.
A slender, jeans-clad leg stretched out from inside the car.
Shen Qingyan stepped down.
Looking at Shen Qingyan's peerless beauty that seemed to make the heaven and earth lose their luster, her proud figure...
The girls' smiles vanished completely.
Their romance had shattered into dust before it even began.
"ToT... I didn't expect my romance to arrive so suddenly, and I certainly didn't expect heartbreak to arrive even faster!"
"It's a good thing I didn't go up, or facing this woman head-on would have left me with psychological trauma for the rest of my life... How can she be this pretty, and with such a great figure too..."
"As expected, only a woman like this can match a man like this..."
"The little girl is so pretty too, such powerful genes!"
"The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, the daughter is cute, and they're rich... What kind of fairy family is this..."
Tang Chen carried Tang Yao, walked side by side with Shen Qingyan, and headed toward the main entrance of the Natural History Museum.
Naturally, they had no idea what kind of mental gymnastics the people around them were going through as they watched them.
They collected the tickets bought in advance at the ticket machine and had their tickets checked before entering the museum.
The first thing that came into view was a huge dinosaur fossil, along with rooms full of dinosaur replica models surrounding it...
"Wow!!!"
"Big dinosaur!!!"
Tang Yao looked left and right, her little mouth agape, her eyes wide open, letting out a milky, awestruck exclamation.
Tang Chen smiled and glanced at Shen Qingyan.
Shen Qingyan's eyebrows and eyes had also curved into smiles.

"Daddy, the big dinosaur is so big!"
"Daddy, are there still living big dinosaurs in the world today?"
"Daddy..."
Amidst the little darling's myriad questions reminiscent of a hundred thousand whys, the three of them left their footprints all over the entire museum...
Nightfall descended quietly.
In the back seat of the Rolls-Royce.
Looking at the photos on Tang Chen's phone—their various snapshots with dinosaur models, dinosaur fossils, prehistoric creature fossils, and so on—Tang Yao blossomed into a smile.
Watching her daughter's happy expression.
Shen Qingyan could not help but smile too.
This was what childhood was supposed to look like!
Happiness, joy...
Instead of like before.
Working hard to be well-behaved so as to avoid causing trouble for herself...
Abruptly.
Shen Qingyan saw her own smiling face reflected in the glass, and in a daze, she realized.
It wasn't just Tang Yao.
During this period of time, she herself had been this happy too.
Her gaze involuntarily shifted toward Tang Chen.
The happy smile blooming on her face deepened by a few fractions.
She knew it.
All of these changes.
Were entirely because of Tang Chen's arrival!
Knowing that not being able to eat Tang Chen's cooking yesterday was a tiny regret for the mother-and-daughter pair, Tang Chen directly had Gao Fei drive back to Linhai Villa.
Along the way, he had Gao Fei find a place to buy some groceries.
Hearing that he was being told to buy groceries.
Gao Fei didn't understand what was going on for quite a while.
It wasn't until he had forked over the money that his brow furrowed, and a possibility occurred to him.
Tang Chen...
Seemed to be planning to cook a meal himself!
Gulp...
Thinking of this, Gao Fei doubted whether he had lost his mind.
The helmsman of Shengtang Group, cooking a meal himself?
And after he got back into the car carrying the groceries, Tang Yao in the back seat started clapping and cheering!
"Yay! We get to eat Daddy's cooking again!"
Gao Fei's foot slipped as he got into the car, and he nearly tumbled right back out...
Returning to Linhai Villa.
The three of them got out of the car.
Looking at the back of Tang Chen, who was holding Tang Yao in one arm and carrying the groceries in the other, Gao Fei took out his phone and sent a message to Liu An.
"Old Liu! Major breaking news!"
"What kind of major breaking news could there be? Old Gao, don't look at how you're closer to the boss when you're outside; your speed at getting news really isn't as good as mine! So, stop making a fuss over nothing with me!"
"The boss bought groceries and is going to cook dinner himself."
"Tch, what kind of major breaking... What?! The boss is cooking dinner himself?!"
Entering the villa.
Tang Yao changed into her little slippers, ran into the living room, and flopped flat onto the sofa with a soft thud.
"Run slower!"
Shen Qingyan reminded her, while simultaneously kicking off her black athletic shoes. Her petite feet, clad in spotless pure-white athletic socks, stepped into her slippers.
Afterward, she bent down from the shoe cabinet and took out a brand-new pair of men's slippers, placing them by Tang Chen's feet.
After Tang Chen came over last time and had no slippers to wear, leading to that comical scene, Shen Qingyan had asked Lin Fen to pick up a pair while running errands the very next day.
"Is the size right?" Shen Qingyan lowered her head, looking at the feet inside Tang Chen's slippers, and asked.
"Just right," Tang Chen said with a light smile.
"As long as it's right!"
Shen Qingyan nodded, took off her yellow down jacket and hung it on the coat rack. The pure-white tight sweater underneath vividly outlined her somewhat exaggerated bodily proportions.
Tang Chen watched without blinking, though the depths of his eyes remained crystal clear.
It was an appreciative gaze.
Shen Qingyan felt a sudden wave of dry heat rush to her face as she was scrutinized by that burning gaze, and she hurried toward the sofa.
A faint smile emerged on Tang Chen's face as he walked into the kitchen and began washing the vegetables.
And before long.
