Me at two years old, a queen!

"Hee hee~"

The man found it amusing to see her huddled with the dog for warmth, so he pulled her off the dog and told the gluttonous girl to go home and fetch her a coat.

"Beep beep~"

Seeing that her father had let the gluttonous kid go, An'an angrily honked the horn: "Hmph~, I caught him for so long before he finally got in the car~"

"Snapped!"

The man glanced at her broken speaker. "How can it be so loud? What a shoddy product!" he thought, grabbing the troublemaker's hand and slapping it.

"Do you know you're disturbing the peace? Don't you know the traffic rules when you drive? If you honk like that in a residential area, people will complain and you'll get fined. Do you have the money?"

"Grandpa's rich!"

The man warmed her hands and poked her head: "Your grandpa doesn't work very hard these days. His money dwindles with every penny he spends, so the money he has to buy you candy is running out."

"Then I'll make Grandpa work hard at his job~, hehe~"

"You think you're so smart? Why don't you just change your clothes before going out? What's the point of carrying all these jingling things around?"

An'an quickly pulled the little rabbit jade pendant back from the man's hand. She thought about how her aunt had treated everyone to a meal yesterday, and how her grandmother and the others had all worn pretty, sparkly pendants. Now that she was hosting, it was her turn to wear one.

"I'm treating everyone today!"

"Dad, why don't you bring two too?"

An'an glanced at the man's pitiful neck, thought for a moment, then took off the cumbersome gold necklace from her own neck and was about to put it on his head: "Make me look pretty~, don't embarrass me~"

Lu Junxing, who had been in a good mood, immediately shoved her back into the car upon hearing this, strapped her to the seat, and made her raise the roof back up.

"No way! This kind of car is so cool!"

"Upgrade or not? If you don't, I'll take your wheels off!"

"Hmph~, you awful dad!"

Looking at the man's large hand, An'an reluctantly pressed a button, closing the convertible's roof.

The father and daughter were standing there on the alley. Lu Junxing wanted to beat Qin Shuo, who was delivering the stroller, to death for causing him all this trouble. He was waiting for the gluttonous girl to snatch An'an's little jacket.

The man helped her put her clothes on before he allowed her to open the convertible top. The dog absolutely refused to ride in An'an's convertible anymore, so An'an drove home with the man and the dog beside her.

The old man, who was practicing Tai Chi at the door, was somewhat surprised to see the father and daughter return: "An'an? Why are you up so early today too?"

"Tsk~, taking her precious stroller for a walk so early in the morning~"

Ms. Song Yuan was arranging flowers when she heard this. Although there were bodyguards watching over the place, she ultimately left without a word, though she did offer some worried instructions.

"You can't just wander off, okay? You have to let us know when you go out, otherwise we'll worry if we can't find you!"

Lu Junxing was also afraid that he would have to go out to look for his child every day at dawn. Now, looking at her old, beat-up car, he even wanted to secretly get rid of it.

"Your speaker sounds awful. How about I ask Qin Feng to get you a better one?"

"Really? Daddy~, can you change it to Peppa Pig's voice?"

An'an happily tugged at the man's trouser leg, trying to climb up and hug him: "Hmph~ Hmph~, just like this, you know, Daddy?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, An'an happily ate two large steamed buns, sucked on her milk bottle, and went to find her aunt to pick out pretty clothes. She and Duo Duo had made a promise to wear crystal shoes together.

Although today is supposed to be an opening banquet, it's really more of a fun occasion for the kids. The adults plan to just show up for the ribbon-cutting and dinner; the rest will be left to the children.

When everyone saw An'an, dressed in a red, strappy princess dress with a large skirt and a crown on her head, swaying her bottom as she crawled down the stairs, they were all stunned.

Lu Jing happily picked up the little one and said, "So beautiful! You look just like a queen. I'll find you a cane later and you'll look even more like one!"

"Grandpa, that's a staff, not a cane!"

"Hahaha~, alright, Grandpa will go find another magic staff for our An'an!"

"An'an? Are you going dressed like that?"

"Grandma? Is that not allowed?"

Looking at An'an, who had short, curly, tea-brown hair and looked like a porcelain doll, Ms. Song Yuan thought it wasn't impossible, but it was a bit too exaggerated. Children generally like such exaggerated styles.

"It's okay, does An'an like it?"

"I love it! I think it's really beautiful too!"

Ms. Song felt that her child's aesthetic sense might need some work, so it seemed she and Junxing would have to take the child to see how it went for an art class that afternoon.

Then, seeing Yan Zhou dressed in full armor coming downstairs, Ms. Song Yuan was even more confused, especially when she saw Jun Min coming downstairs behind him.

"Why are you all dressed like this today?"

"Auntie, children's aesthetic sense is different from ours. You'll get used to it! This is already considered restrained in its dressing."

Junmin didn't mention that An'an wanted to wear gold and silver jewelry; she hadn't missed a single item, and she wanted to arrange it for everyone. Yanzhou hadn't even brought out his Ultraman and Spider-Man toys yet.

She was especially happy. Yanzhou seemed to have become as playful and mischievous as he was when he was little. This was all because he had been back at the Lu family home and spending every day with his younger sister, An'an, and had been influenced by her.

She was also relieved that she had let go and returned to her family in Haicheng. Yanzhou hadn't been affected by the Qin family and was a mentally healthy child.

The old man was quite easygoing; as long as the children were clean and happy, that was all that mattered. He hugged the two children, looking at their clothes with amusement.

"Brother, you're so cool!"

"Little sister~, I also have a big sword. I'll have Brother Yu'an take it with him later. It'll look really impressive!"

Lu Junxing, who was waiting for someone at the door with Zhao Jingtang, saw An'an, wearing a red maxi dress, running towards him through the sunlight behind her. He looked at the smile on the little girl's face.

My heart felt warmed little by little. I knelt down and caught her: "You're so beautiful~, but can we smile a little more politely?"

The man poked her little teeth and smoothed her curly hair.

Zhao Jingtang was also itching to hug her, praising An'an exaggeratedly and even reaching out to hug her, but the man dodged her. Zhao Jingtang then coaxed, "How about riding in my car with Brother Yu'an?"

An'an was shoved into the car seat by the man, silently refusing. Qin Yanzhou, on the other hand, excitedly got into Zhao Jingtang's car carrying a gun and a large knife.
