A beautiful summer night

The anglers were fishing secretly.

Jiang Baichuan fishes openly.

The methods are still very naive.

He wasn't really fishing, nor was he really chasing; his true feelings were written all over his face. But he was cowardly and afraid of making Yunli angry, so he used the two children as a shield.

Yunli was forced to take care of the child with him for more than a week.

Chao Chao Mu Mu kept pestering Yun Li and Jiang Baichuan to pick them up from kindergarten, and the kindergarten teachers and parents quickly became familiar with them.

The teacher called out loudly, "Zhao Chao Mu Mu, your uncle and aunt are here!"

A passing parent muttered, "It's quite rare to see a couple picking up their child together these days."

"Yes, I'm so envious. They're a perfect match, and this girl is so lucky to have married such a man."

The person was muttering to herself right next to her, and it was impossible for Yun Li not to hear it: "..."

It was already awkward enough, but Jiang Baichuan added, "I'm quite lucky too."

The parents next door were surprised that Jiang Baichuan would speak up, and they quickly laughed and said, "Yes, yes, you're lucky to have married such a beautiful wife."

Yunli: "..."

Upon receiving the news, Yunli grabbed one of them and ran away.

Chaochao looked at Yunli and Mumu who were being carried away with a puzzled expression, and poked Jiang Baichuan's thigh: "Did you make your future aunt angry again?"

Jiang Baichuan resigned himself to his fate: "Right? It's alright, I'll just get a beating when I get back."

Chaochao chuckled: "My dad said that too."

Jiang Baichuan: "..."

Although I was speechless, I was in a good mood.

Being beaten is also a kind of happiness.

Xia Wanzhi also knew that Yunli was taking care of the child. Tonight was Friday, so they made an appointment to have hot pot together at Lanting Villa.

The Frost's Descent season has passed, and the weather is turning slightly cold, making it the perfect time for hot pot.

As soon as the family, who appeared to be a family of four, arrived, Xia Wanzhi opened the door and warmly welcomed them: "Oh, you've brought the whole family! No need to take off your shoes, come in quickly!"

Yunli glared at her and led Chaochao and Mumu inside.

Feeling ignored, Jiang Baichuan shrugged after meeting Xia Wanzhi's probing gaze: "She hasn't talked to me for almost half an hour."

Xia Wanzhi pointed at him: "Serves you right!"

A treacherous man.

Xie Qiyan used Xie Tan to create various opportunities back then.

It's just that Xie Qiyan's skill level is a bit higher.

And Jiang Baichuan...

It's hard to say.

Aside from not being able to tell which one is Chaochao and which one is Mumu, Jiang Baichuan is quite skilled at taking care of children. No wonder he's an uncle taking care of kids in his early twenties.

Yunli learned a lot from him.

Jiang Baichuan helped the child wash his hands and brought him to the table. Yun Li helped Chaochao tidy his clothes while scolding, "You don't need to pull your sleeves up so high when you wash your hands in the future. They're all the way up to your shoulders."

Jiang Baichuan patiently straightened Mumu's sleeves, mimicking Yunli's movements, and laughed, "If we don't pull them up, we'll have a water fight."

Yunli retorted, "Then why didn't they fight when I was there?"

Jiang Baichuan raised an eyebrow: "So I can't live without you."

Yunli: "..."

Xia Wanzhi: "Cough cough cough."

Xie Qiyan glanced at him, and was about to doubt whether he was Jiang Baichuan, but then he thought that he seemed to be the same way, so he kept quiet.

Xie Tan clapped quietly, thinking to himself that this was a double celebration.

The hot pot meal was very enjoyable.

The two men were in the kitchen. Xie Tan was playing with Chaochao and Mumu, and Xia Wanzhi took the opportunity to ask, "How does it feel?"

Yunli chuckled: "What, what feeling?"

"My heart is fluttering." Xia Wanzhi made a heart shape with her hands and mimed two thumping beats on her chest. "Even the domineering CEO's pursuit of you has made him lose his mind."

Yunli was speechless for a moment: "..."

Are you excited?

She didn't know how to describe it.

More than being moved, there's a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection), and a sense of habit.

There was also hesitation.

"I remember you and Xie Qiyan used to be at odds. How did you then realize you liked him?" Yunli put her arm around her shoulder, glanced at the kitchen, and then huddled together to whisper some intimate words.

The kitchen is open-plan, and from Xie Qiyan and Jiang Baichuan's perspective, the two of them look rather suspicious.

Xia Wanzhi blushed slightly and coughed lightly: "You'll know once you give me a kiss."

Yunli: "..."

She had no idea Xia Wanzhi was so fierce.

Xia Wanzhi suggested, "Why don't you give it a try?"

Yunli politely declined, saying, "Thank you, but it's alright."

Xia Wanzhi hugged her arm: "Trust me, this method works the most. Your body will tell you the answer directly."

Yunli held her breath slightly, her face turning pale.

She sighed softly, "No need to try, I know what I'm doing."

When a person can't help but want to get closer to another person, or doesn't reject the other person's approach, the answer is already clear.

As they left, the two of them each carried the sleeping children, Chaochao and Mumu, downstairs.

"you……"

"I……"

They both said in unison.

Jiang Baichuan chuckled: "Go ahead."

"Zhao Chao Mu Mu is quite easy to take care of." Yun Li said softly, with a touch of emotion.

Jiang Baichuan responded and began to chat with her about everyday things: "When they were one or two years old, they were difficult to take care of and always cried. When they cried, Jiang Yourong would cry too. During that time, Rongyu didn't film any movies and was busy attending training courses to study how to take care of children. Fortunately, we had many relatives and friends who helped take care of them, especially the elders in the family who spoiled them a lot."

Yunli nodded and asked, "According to you, Chaochao Mumu has quite a lot of family members, so why... was she specifically entrusted to you to take care of?"

Jiang Baichuan said with a hint of pride, "Because I like handsome guys day and night."

These two little ones are very attached to him, that's the truth.

Yunli chuckled, and after getting into the car, she asked again, "Does Chaochao Mumu's family have any objections?"

Jiang Baichuan fastened his seatbelt, looked up into her eyes, and asked, "Why do you have a problem with that?"

“You’re making a scene with the child.” Yunli met his gaze, their eyes both quite direct.

After all that buildup, it was finally her turn to speak and reveal the truth.

Jiang Baichuan suddenly unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned towards Yun Li: "This isn't nonsense, it's an assist."

Yunli was slightly taken aback.

“My family and friends all know that I’m pursuing you.” Jiang Baichuan’s gaze was sincere, and his tone was slightly serious. “Sending Chaochao Mumu to the front lines was a decision they all made together.”

"Yunli, give me a chance."
