"Wow, Daddy, you're so amazing! You can hug me and Mommy too!" Suddenly, a child's sweet, innocent voice rang in my ears.

This startled the two people who were flirting, and they both took a step back, somewhat embarrassed.

Mingpeng, unaware of their thoughts, leaned close to Yang Zhi's ear and whispered, "Dad, Uncle Hu asked me a lot of questions just now."

To avoid embarrassing Bai Xi, Yang Zhi casually asked, "Oh? What did you ask? Tell Dad."

When Mingpeng heard that his father wanted to hear a whisper, he excitedly said, "Just now, Dad Hu asked me if I had seen Dad and Mom holding hands."

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhi became interested and asked his son with great enthusiasm, "So, what was your answer?"

Yang Mingpeng, like a little adult, said seriously, "Of course the answer is no! I didn't even see Dad and Mom holding hands!"

Yang Mingpeng seemed to suddenly realize something, quickly covered his mouth, and said nervously:

"Dad, you can't tell anyone what I'm telling you, okay? Dad said this is a secret between me and him, and whoever doesn't keep the secret is a little puppy. I don't want to be a little puppy."

Clearly, he didn't treat Yang Zhi like an outsider at first; he only remembered to give his father instructions after he finished speaking.

Bai Xi, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but laugh when she saw her nervous son. She teased him on purpose, saying:

"Isn't your father an outsider? Why did you tell him?" Bai Xi asked her son, feigning distress.

"Ah~" The chubby little face was stumped by her mother's question.

"Can't I tell Dad? Dad is Dad, he's not a stranger."

"So Dad isn't an outsider, but Mom is? Why don't you tell Mom?" Bai Xi said, deliberately turning her head away and pretending to be sad.

Seeing his mother was sad, Mingpeng quickly comforted her, "Then I'll tell Mom too, okay? Mom, don't be sad."

Bai Xi turned her head in surprise and said happily, "Really? Mingpeng doesn't treat Mom like an outsider?"

The little one seemed genuinely afraid of upsetting his mother, nodding repeatedly to show his approval.

People nearby, watching the interaction between the family of three, said enviously, "Your child is so well-behaved. How old is your little brother? He seems so sensible."

Hearing her son being praised, she felt proud of his fair complexion, and couldn't hide the smile on her face.

But he still humbly said, "My son is 6 years old. He's curious about everything right now, so he talks a lot. He's just a child, and he doesn't understand anything. I hope I didn't bother you?"

The passerby shook his head, "I didn't disturb them, I just found the child very endearing."

Even passersby knew that "fair-skinned" was just a polite way of putting it; if he were to actually point out anything wrong with the woman's child, she would definitely be the first to point her finger at him and yell at him.

But who would have thought that such a young girl would have such a big son? He was really surprised.

However, he wouldn't ask people casually, since they didn't know each other and it wasn't appropriate to ask too many details.

Bai Xi is a typical Chinese parent; she habitually denies any praise others give to her child.

Yang Mingpeng was not happy to hear his mother say that, and immediately retorted, "Mom, I am very sensible, okay? I sweep the floor at home."

Fair-skinned and beaming, she feigned surprise and said, "Really? My son is amazing! Come here, can Mommy give you a kiss?"

Before Mingpeng could even react, Bai Xi had already cupped his little face and kissed him repeatedly.

Yang Zhi, who was holding Yang Mingpeng, didn't wait for Mingpeng to refuse before quickly bending down, using his fair skin and height to make it easier for her to kiss her son.

The family of three was having a great time here, while Hu Qiaosheng had been squeezed out of sight.

After the crowd subsided, the three of them continued walking forward.

Seeing the sparkling jewelry, each piece was studded with rhinestones and shimmered under the lights.

Fair-skinned, she looked at this and that, and when she saw a pair of beautiful earrings, she bought them and was about to take the money out of her bag.

Yang Zhi acted faster, and Bai Xi quickly waved her hand. "I can buy it myself, you don't need to spend any money."

Yang Zhi didn't think so. He leaned close to Bai Xi's ear and whispered, "You've already agreed to be my girlfriend, so it's only natural for me to buy you these things. From now on, all my money is yours to manage."

The proprietress thought they were a couple. Seeing the pretty female customer trying to save money for her husband, she smiled and said, "Beautiful lady, your husband is so willing to spend money on you, so don't worry about saving. Buying this is already a bargain."

Bai Xi didn't explain much to the proprietress, and in the end, Yang Zhi paid the bill.

They went to a clothing stall and saw many children's clothes. They picked out several items for their child, but none of them were expensive.

Summer clothes are all about buying the cheapest ones, and throwing them away when they're worn out without a second thought.

Yang Zhi wanted to buy Bai Xi some better quality clothes and wanted to take her to a store. The clothes in the store looked to be of better quality, but the colors and styles were not as varied as those at the street stalls.

But Bai Xi directly refused, preferring to buy clothes from street stalls, where there are many styles and patterns, and the prices are affordable.

However, you have to know how to bargain, otherwise you won't even know if you've been ripped off by the shop owner. They might ask for more than eighty yuan for a piece of clothing.

If you bargain down to thirty or forty, you can probably get it; it just depends on how good you are at negotiating.

Bai Xi had learned her lesson the hard way. She bought a sundress that cost over sixty yuan, but when she finally saw the same style, the shopkeeper initially asked for a higher price, but Bai Xi managed to bargain it down to forty yuan, and the shopkeeper readily agreed.

Originally, Bai Xi just wanted to ask about the price to see if she had overpaid for the clothes she bought.

Who knew the shop owner would be so easy to talk to? I felt too embarrassed not to buy anything, so I ended up buying the same style in different colors.

In the end, I felt so bitter inside. Sigh, I can only blame myself for being too thin-skinned.

Seeing that Bai Xi wasn't in high spirits after buying clothes, Yang Zhi suggested, "We've been shopping for so long, we're getting a little hungry. How about we check out the food stalls?"

Bai Xi was indeed a little hungry. "Then call Hu Qiaosheng and ask him to come and have dinner with us. We haven't run into him yet, and we don't know where he went."

Yang Zhi: "I don't have his number."

Seeing this, Bai Xi had no choice but to take out her phone and call Hu Qiaosheng herself.

After agreeing on a meeting place with him, they headed from there to the food stall.

As soon as they arrived at the food stall, they saw Hu Qiaosheng looking around, clearly searching for them.

As soon as Hu Qiaosheng saw the three of them, he chattered like a little sparrow, complaining to Bai Xi, "What's wrong with you guys? You actually left me all alone? You didn't answer my calls, and I couldn't find you anywhere. It's so annoying!"

Hu Qiaosheng became increasingly angry as he spoke, feeling that the three of them had deliberately shunned him.

Bai Xi wasn't buying his act and retorted directly, "The night market is so noisy, there's no way you could hear it with your phone in your bag! I only saw the missed call when I called you just now. Besides, it's such a big place, how could someone your age get lost?"
