Yu Youxuan was deeply stunned, and even the half-eaten lollipop was stuck at her lips, without another lick.

The daze made Feng Yuning understand the stormy waves in Yu Youxuan’s heart.

But she had no choice; time was tight, running more often, and Yu Yuanshen would find out sooner or later. How could she have the leisure for romantic moments with Yu Yuanshen?

So, Yu Youxuan didn’t answer.

Feng Yuning leaned forward, gathering courage, "Youxuan, Auntie knows we’re not familiar yet, and asking you to change how you address me so suddenly is not appropriate, but there’s always a first time, right? I know you’ve always wanted a mom, but your dad hasn’t found you one. Coincidentally, I’ve always wanted to find a husband, but your dad always hesitates because of you. So, how about we make a deal?"

"You like my dad?" Unexpectedly, Yu Youxuan interrupted before Feng Yuning finished.

The question left Feng Yuning momentarily confused, and she nodded, "yes, maybe..."

Once again, Yu Youxuan interrupted before she could finish speaking.

Yu Youxuan asked again, "How much do you like him?"

"Uh..." Feng Yuning pondered, "It’s immeasurable. I can only say that I’ve never met a man as passionate and heartwarming as your dad in my life. From the day I first saw him, I’ve thought about him every day. I want to kiss him, be with him, and maybe one day give you a little brother or sister, okay?"

After saying this, Feng Yuning felt a little anxious.

After all, she wasn’t used to lying, and her way of speaking had a bit of an American mindset. But she hadn’t even settled things with the eldest child and already planned for another, this...

Feng Yuning felt she was too straightforward, said the wrong thing, or maybe her phrasing was wrong.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Yu Youxuan called out without much thought, "Mom!"

This time, it was Feng Yuning’s turn to be stunned, her face of astonishment watching the second hand on the wall tick for 15 seconds, some things were happening so quickly that she was caught off guard...

A tumultuous storm in her heart.

She looked at Youxuan, trembling, "What... what did you call me? Say it again?"

Feng Yuning thought the child didn’t understand and was playing house.

"Mom!" Surprisingly, Yu Youxuan called out again and even looked back at the grandmother who was coming over with the cake.

She then whispered to Feng Yuning, "But since you haven’t won over my dad yet, I can only call you that privately. Once you’ve completely won him over, then I’ll officially change what I call you, okay? I’ll help you, from grandpa to grandma, no problem. But don’t let me down, hurry up and win over my dad..."

In an instant, Feng Yuning didn’t know if there were devils in the world, but looking at the Yu family’s quirky and doll-like pretty girl, she was sure she saw an angel!

Happily leaning forward, Feng Yuning gave a series of smacking kisses on Youxuan’s face.

"I will treat you like my own daughter for a lifetime! I swear!"

Finally, as Zhang Jing came over with the cake and a smile, Feng Yuning was already standing up straight.

Zhang Jing naturally didn’t hear what they were whispering about.

But from that moment on, Feng Yuning was smiling like she’d just eaten honey for the entire day.

When it was time to leave, Feng Yuning and Youxuan’s reluctance to part was so sweet that even Mr. and Mrs. Yu squinted their eyes with joy...

...

Feng Yuning texted Feng Yuxi.

At the moment Feng Yuxi received it, he finally let out a long breath of relief.

Seeing that it was already five in the afternoon, Feng Yuxi inwardly cursed at Feng Yuning: Why don’t you just stay at the Yu Family for dinner too!

On the surface, though, he put on a smile.

Turning his head, Feng Yuxi looked at Yu Yuanshen and said, "Uncle Yu, it’s already five in the afternoon. You treated me to lunch, shall I treat you to dinner?"

Yu Yuanshen paused, put down the newspaper in his hands, and glanced at the time on his watch, only then realizing it was this late.

He shook his head with a smile and stood up, "No need, you just graduated and aren’t earning yet, how would you treat me? Besides, I’m good friends with your uncle. He often invites me to events with him, so you don’t need to worry about it. Go home and eat; I guess they’re preparing dinner at the Feng Mansion by now."

Yu Yuanshen spoke gently and kindly, his movements as he donned his wool coat were gentlemanly and uniquely charming.

Feng Yuxi was genuinely captivated by Yu Yuanshen’s demeanor and felt guilty for tricking him.

But thinking of his sister...

Feng Yuxi swallowed once and still chuckled, "Alright then, when I get into GIO Investment Bank and start earning, I’ll treat you to dinner, Uncle Yu."

Yu Yuanshen was stunned to hear that.

After all, to use the money he provided to treat him...

He paused, amused by Feng Yuxi’s way of resolving awkwardness and also slightly admiring the Feng family’s sharp and outstanding characteristics from top to bottom.

Smiling, Yu Yuanshen nodded and said, "Alright," then led Feng Yuxi downstairs, seeing him off to the parking lot.

When Feng Yuxi’s car left, Yu Yuanshen got into his own car and headed home.

Heading north, Yu Yuanshen spent his day completely in the dark!

...

By the second day, things got easier with familiarity.

On Sunday, while Feng Yuxi was keeping Yu Yuanshen busy at the company, Feng Yuning drove Mr. and Mrs. Yu, along with Yu Youxuan, to the amusement park.

Moreover, to win over her future sister-in-law, Feng Yuning also made a detour to the Pei Mansion to pick up Yu Wei and Pei Cichu.

Pei Cichu, only a little over a year old, was incredibly cute with thick eyebrows and dark eyes.

However, throughout the journey, for some reason, Yu Wei’s face remained unusually calm. Even though Christmas was approaching and the streets were bustling with happy crowds, she gazed into the distance, her eyes revealing a faint melancholy.

Feng Yuning didn’t understand, but it wasn’t something she could worry about right now.

The entire weekend, she was immersed in the joy of Youxuan calling her "Mom," unable to extricate herself.

The six-year-old girl, having company, expressed her natural vivacity even better. Coupled with Feng Yuning being just twenty-five, her inner child still flourishing, the two of them together could light up half the amusement park with their laughter.

In the end, Feng Yuning even took Yu Youxuan on a roller coaster adventure.

Before the ride, Mr. and Mrs. Yu were a bit worried. After all, Youxuan was only six, was it suitable to play something so thrilling?

But seeing Youxuan’s small mouth pouted with a bit of anticipation in her eyes, Feng Yuning waved her hand and said, "No worries! I’m here, I’ll protect her."

After one ride, with Youxuan coming down flushed and squealing with excitement, Mr. and Mrs. Yu finally relaxed. Of course, seeing Feng Yuning looking slightly nauseous, they were slightly stunned but deep joy filled their eyes.

As the day went on, with lollipops and cotton candy in Youxuan’s mouth, and her head adorned with sparkling Mickey ears, a small top hat, and a little crown, Youxuan seemed to have the time of her life.

It was different from the happiness of being with Dad. When Dad took her to the amusement park, she played while Dad watched, never getting her random sweets or toys.

But when the "new mom" took her to the amusement park...

As Feng Yuning went to buy a haunted house ticket and returned with a big bucket of popcorn, Youxuan looked at her new mom, almost overflowing with happiness.

Except...

With Pei Cichu, who was a little over a year old, couldn’t play anything, watching and making cooing noises, stretching out his hands towards things thrilling and wanting to join, yet too young for any of it, stuck sitting on the rocking horse.

Even sitting like a little emperor, with a pacifier, made the scene oddly mismatched.

Banging on the rocking horse’s horn, Pei Cichu was quite unhappy today...

======== The Author’s Black Room ======

Pei Cichu: Ahhhh! Let me in! I’m not afraid of roller coasters! Not afraid of ghosts! I also want to go to the haunted house!

Hua Xi: Behave, you’re only a little over a year old, please maintain the characteristics of a one-year-old baby.

Liang Yichao: Characteristics my foot! My son, from the moment of conception, was born to be badass! Who could he fear? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
