Shen Chuli smiled and praised, "You've already said you'd move out of the courtyard house, so of course we have to agree. Little sister, you're really ambitious." He even gave her a thumbs up.

Just then, Qian Ying, carrying her daughter, entered the house. Upon hearing the words "courtyard house," she asked with a puzzled look, "What courtyard house?"

"It's nothing, it's just that my little sister said she wants to buy a courtyard house so the whole family can live together." Shen Chuli said as she got up and took Nannan from her, and said gently, "Nannan, look who's here? This is Grandma, and this is Auntie."

"Oh, let Grandma hold you!" Li Yi eagerly reached out to take the baby, her face beaming with a wide smile, her mouth stretched wide, almost revealing her teeth. After all, this was the first child of the Shen family's grandchildren, and she was especially adored.

After being held in Li Yi's arms, Nannan neither cried nor made a fuss. She just stared at Shen Chumo with her big, round, bright eyes, her little hands reaching out towards Shen Chumo, and her short legs kicking incessantly. It seemed that she really wanted to jump into Shen Chumo's arms.

"Auntie, Auntie, hug me."

The two-year-old was quite strong and pounced on Li Yi. Li Yi almost couldn't catch her, but Shen Chumo reacted quickly and pulled Nannan into his arms.

The little girl was completely unaware of the terrifying scene that had just transpired. When she saw her aunt hug her, she laughed happily and kept repeating, "Auntie, hug me."

Shen Chumo gently held Nannan in her arms and teased her softly, "Nannan, you are so cute." Nannan looked like she had grown up in love, being pampered and chubby, like a little dumpling.

Nannan let out a silvery laugh, grabbed Shen Chumo's hand, and kissed him.

Qian Ying watched from the side and said with a smile, "This child really likes her aunt." Although Nannan is not a shy child, she has never been so enthusiastic towards others before.

Looking at the scene before him, Shen Chuli felt a pang of sadness and muttered softly, "Nannan has never kissed me on her own initiative." His tone revealed a hint of disappointment.

His words were overheard by Shen Chumo, who smiled smugly and replied, "Of course, Nannan is just as close to me!"

Just as the two were talking, Nannan suddenly clapped her hands and excitedly shouted, "Auntie, it's beautiful!"

Her voice was clear and melodious, full of childlike innocence. Hearing Nannan's praise, Shen Chumo's mood became even more cheerful.

Shen Chuli, with a hurt expression, pretended to be sad and asked Nannan, "Nannan, is Daddy not handsome?"

Seeing this, Qian Ying couldn't help but laugh and tease, "Honey, although you're good-looking too, you're definitely not as good-looking as Chu Mo."

By Qian Ying's standards of beauty, even those once-popular Hong Kong actresses would pale in comparison to Shen Chumo. She herself sometimes finds herself lost in thought when gazing at Shen Chumo, let alone Nannan.

Li Yi laughed along, remarking, "This child, at such a young age, already knows how to distinguish between beauty and ugliness."

Shen Chumo gently tapped Nannan's little nose and said tenderly, "You're such a looks-obsessed girl at such a young age. When you grow up, you'll have to be more discerning when you look for a boyfriend, so you won't be easily fooled."

After saying that, Shen Chumo picked up Nannan and spun her around the room, eliciting bursts of joyful laughter from the little girl. Li Yi watched from the side, her face full of affection.

Shen Chumo was also unusually relaxed, as if at this moment she was the original owner, just an ordinary little girl who was loved by her family.

After having lunch at home, the family decided to go out for a good stroll. In the afternoon, the sun shone brightly on the streets and alleys of Beijing. The family decided to visit a famous park in the capital.

They strolled along the lake, where the water shimmered and sparkled with golden light under the sun. The weeping willows along the shore swayed gently in the breeze, their tender green branches dancing like nature's own.

Shen Chumo held Nannan in her arms and pointed to the ducks in the lake, saying, "Nannan, look, those ducks are swimming." Nannan excitedly waved her little hands and made "quack quack" sounds, as if she was greeting the ducks.

Shen Chuli rented a small boat, and the family boarded it and slowly rowed towards the center of the lake. A gentle breeze caressed their faces, bringing a touch of coolness.

The boat sailed to a lotus pond, where lotus flowers were in full bloom, some pink, some white, all delicate and beautiful. Li Yi said, "These lotus flowers are so beautiful; they really lift my spirits."

Shen Chumo asked Nannan, "Nannan, aren't the lotus flowers beautiful?" Nannan's eyes sparkled, and she replied, "Beautiful, just like Auntie." Everyone was amused by Nannan's words.

On another boat, a girl was admiring the lotus flowers when she caught a glimpse of Shen Chumo's face out of the corner of her eye. She gasped in surprise and tugged at the sleeve of the man next to her, saying excitedly, "Brother, look! There's a stunning beauty over there! My goodness, I've never seen anyone so beautiful before!"

The man looked in the direction his sister pointed and saw Shen Chumo holding Nannan, smiling. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes curving into two crescent moons, and the corners of her mouth curving upwards in a beautiful arc. Her smile was like the most radiant flower blooming in the spring breeze. That smile spread from the depths of her eyes to the tips of her eyebrows, and two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks.

Her hair shimmered softly in the sunlight, nestled close to her daughter's adorable little head, creating a heartwarming and beautiful scene.

Li Jingze felt his heart skip a beat, and his eyes were filled with only Shen Chumo's figure. When Li Muwan saw her brother's silly look, she burst out laughing, clutching her stomach. "Haha, brother, you look like a pervert."

Li Jingze snapped out of his daze, his face flushed slightly, and tapped Li Muwan on the forehead, "You still dare to talk about your brother?"

Li Muwan was tapped and covered her head, saying, "Brother, you really are my brother. No wonder you're twenty-three and still can't find a girlfriend."

However, an unexpected incident occurred. Just as Shen Chumo and his companions were slowly moving along the lotus pond, a small boat suddenly rushed straight towards them.

A blond man dressed in a slick style saw Shen Chumo, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly swerved the boat, ramming it into Shen Chumo's boat.

The two boats collided with a dull thud, and the boats rocked violently. Shen Chumo held Nannan tightly, afraid that she would be frightened or fall into the water. Li Yi and Qian Ying also grabbed the gunwale in a panic.

Shen Chuli tried her best to keep the boat steady, but the man preemptively accused her, shouting, "Hey, how are you rowing? You almost knocked us into the water! You have to pay for it!"

Shen Chuli laughed angrily, "You clearly bumped into me on purpose, and you're trying to scam me?"

The blond-haired man who had been picking a fight glanced at Shen Chuli and said arrogantly, "Who saw us hit him? Do you have any evidence? You deliberately hit me, but I'm not going to bother with you."

He suddenly revealed a lewd smile, "How about I forgive this rude lady if she has a meal with me?"
