"Look here, look here!"

At the amusement park, Shen Yi held up her camera, taking pictures of the little girl and the big yellow dog.

The big yellow dog had a leash around its neck, with the other end gripped in the little girl's hand. Standing side by side, they were almost the same height, making it seem like the little girl was leading a steed.

Strangely enough, even Su Qing sometimes got dragged around by the big yellow dog, but in the little girl's hand, this never happened.

It seemed like the big yellow dog was under some spell; sometimes it even carried its own leash in its mouth, prancing along behind the little girl, acting like a bodyguard.

"Click"

The sound of the shutter captured the beautiful scene of the girl and the dog, and Shen Yi looked at the photo, feeling quite satisfied.

Since Wen Nanqing had some errands, as the babysitting aunt, Shen Yi naturally took on the responsibility of looking after the child. Honestly, it was quite a rare experience for Aunt Shen. After all the workplace drama, occasionally taking a little one out for a walk with a dog wasn't bad at all.

"Aunty, aunty, I want some ice cream!"

The little girl hopped over playfully, with the big yellow dog in tow, pointing at the ice cream stall nearby. Unlike other kids who might throw a tantrum when their moms weren't around, she was having a blast with the dog.

Hearing this, Shen Yi was a bit hesitant. Wen Nanqing had told her not to let the girl have such treats. However, after thinking it over, she decided that rules were made to be broken when you're out having fun.

After all, it was just one day. Who cares about all that when you're out enjoying yourself?

"Alright, aunty will take you to buy some!"

Soon, at the ice cream stand stood two beautiful ladies, one big, one small.

"Here you go, sweetheart, take care!" The girl behind the counter smiled as she handed the ice cream to Wen Yun.

The little girl took a bite, and her big eyes immediately squinted in happiness. Then she glanced at the eagerly waiting big yellow dog and pointed, shouting at the shop assistant, "One for him too!"

Big Yellow: "Woof" [You're the best]

Soon, the big yellow dog was lying on the ground, holding an ice cream cone with its paws and munching away, feeling quite fulfilled.

This little girl sure knew how to curry favor—if she had something to eat, she would always share. Meanwhile, Shen Yi could only shake her head in resignation.

She had a feeling her role was simply to be the chauffeur and wallet, paying for these two companions.

Indeed, that was precisely the case. Although the big yellow dog often grumbled about Wen Yun, it was dutiful when they were together, especially outside. It fulfilled the role of a dog babysitter, and the little girl's attention wasn't always on it, so it was pretty relaxing.

"Are you happy, little Yun?"

"Happy!"

"Woof" [Happy!]

"Is aunty good?"

"Aunty's good."

"Woof woof woof" [You're great, rich lady]

"Where do you want to go next?"

"To the zoo to see pandas."

"Woof woof" [Home!]

"Alright, then we'll go to the aquarium to see the belugas."

Wen Yun: ???

Big Yellow: ???

It wasn't that Shen Yi didn't want to fulfill her wish; it was mainly because the zoo was a bit far. Going back and forth would almost take all day, and besides, going to the zoo at this hour, who knows if they might get attacked by monkeys.

Last year, during her trip to Mount Emei, she learned the hard way about the zoo's surprises. With so many animals, any unexpected danger would be troublesome. The aquarium was much safer. With this in mind, Shen Yi patted herself on the back for her cleverness, deciding on the aquarium. Plus, it was cooler there.

On the other side, Su Qing and Wen Nanqing walked into a private room Lu Yang had meticulously prepared.

The room's curtains were drawn, the lights dim, with candles and red wine on the table, even a large bouquet of roses—a scene straight out of a proposal setting.

Indeed, money can make anything happen. Outside, the sun was bright and hot on this midsummer day, but inside it was dim and cozy, giving the impression it was nighttime.

As soon as they entered, seeing the setup, Wen Nanqing's face darkened, displaying a look of disgust without restraint, especially since Su Qing was by her side, which added a layer of awkwardness.

Su Qing, on the other hand, didn't think much of it. Seeing this, he chuckled to himself. The old saying was indeed true: in a group of three, one can always learn from another.

Check out this guy's emotional intelligence. No wonder he managed to win over a wealthy girl during his college days. He's got something going on.

If Wang Xing could learn even a fraction of this, he might have shrugged off his bootlicker label long ago.

"Oh wow, it's a fancy dinner too. How impressive, ex-hubby. You really went all out. I'm truly flattered." As he spoke, Su Qing led the landlady over to the table. Under her surprised gaze, he sat her down, then called for the waiter to bring another chair.

"Come on, ex-hubby, better eat before it gets cold!" Su Qing laughed.

Hearing this, Wen Nanqing pursed her lips, stealing a glance at her ex's gloomy face. She couldn't help wanting to laugh but had to hold it in.

"What does this mean? Who invited him?" Lu Yang glared at Su Qing, speaking in a low voice.

He had gone to great lengths to arrange this meeting with his ex-wife, hoping for a heart-to-heart. After all, they were once married, and he believed there was still hope for them. At the very least, he had a last resort.

But Su Qing's sudden arrival threw all his plans into disarray, rendering many of his preparations useless.

"Hey? Didn't you invite us, ex-hubby? I was feeling a tad awkward letting you treat us, but isn't that so?" Su Qing feigned ignorance.

Seeing this, Lu Yang dropped the façade, looking at Wen Nanqing and speaking quietly, "What do you mean by involving an outsider in our private matters?"

"And you," Lu Yang looked at Su Qing, "Please leave, this is a matter between us as a couple, and I didn't invite you here."

Faced with such a weak response, before Su Qing could speak, Wen Nanqing interjected: "I called Su Qing here, he's my child's dad now, how can he be an outsider?"

"And stop with the couple talk, we've been divorced for years. I don't want to bring up the past. You called me here today, so if you have something to say, go ahead. I'm listening, if you don't want to talk, that's fine, we'll leave. But next time you want to find me, it won't be easy. You know, I have plenty of properties, I can just stay wherever I want for a while."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang clenched his fist tightly, watching Su Qing eat heartily, feeling as uncomfortable as if he'd swallowed a fly.

"Qingqing, I know I was wrong, can't you give me another chance? I think of you and our daughter constantly. Little Yun is so big now, I've never fulfilled my duty as a father. I want to make amends, I..."

Lu Yang knew such a tactic could only be used once, so he didn't care about Su Qing being there, and quickly expressed his feelings.

"My daughter can live well without a father, besides, Little Yun already has a new dad now, I hope you won't disrupt our lives again." Before Lu Yang could finish his sentence, Wen Nanqing interrupted.

Lu Yang suddenly felt a rush of anger: "Nonsense, who does he think he is, claiming to be my daughter's dad, I don't agree!"

"You can't just find someone to fool me, I'm not stupid, and I won't buy it. Also, even if you don't think for yourself, what about Little Yun? Isn't it hurtful for her to grow up without a dad?"

After all, being well-educated, how could he not discern Wen Nanqing's intent to bring Su Qing here? He absolutely didn't believe that this young guy had any genuine connection with his ex-wife.

Though the two seemed close when they entered, their actions were slightly stiff, most people might not notice, but after years of being together from dating to marriage, he knew every habit of Wen Nanqing well.

This is definitely not how Wen Nanqing behaves when in love.

Knock knock knock

At that moment, Su Qing lightly tapped the table with his finger, smiling casually:

"I say, ex-hubby, aren't you dismissing me a bit too much? I'm right here, yet you're like this. If I weren't here, would you dare use force?"

Hearing this, Lu Yang promptly retaliated threateningly:

"Kid, let me give you one last piece of advice, this doesn't concern you, and you have no place to interrupt, get lost, if you know what's good for you."

"Lu Yang, mind your words, now you just..." When she saw her ex-husband threatening Su Qing, Wen Nanqing immediately became upset, as she was the one who brought Su Qing.

But before she could finish, Su Qing interrupted: "It's fine, just have some food!"

Saying this, he placed his neatly cut steak in front of Wen Nanqing, then picked up the wine glass on the table and said with a smile:

"Ex-hubby, you already investigated me, yet you say it has nothing to do with me, doesn't make sense, does it?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I have to say, you do know how to enjoy yourself, drinking red wine in broad daylight."

With that, he flicked the glass, making a 'ding' sound, then raised his glass and suggested: "Why don't I drink with ex-hubby?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang paused and swallowed involuntarily, the red wine in front of him had already been tampered with.

Originally, he thought Wen Nanqing would come alone, if the conversation didn't go well, he planned to pretend not to bother them anymore and drink a glass with her. Knowing Wen Nanqing's character, she would never refuse.

The wine had 'Immortal Water' known as Joy Liquid, also called γ-hydroxybutyric acid, a colorless, tasteless liquid that requires only a few drops to quickly render someone unconscious.

He even booked a suite upstairs early on, not needing to go out. All he had to do was take Wen Nanqing upstairs, it was flawless, but he didn't anticipate there would be another person.

"What, ex-hubby isn't giving face, or does this wine have a problem?" Su Qing joked with feigned innocence.

That startled Lu Yang even more, he then shouted: "Who are you, why should I give you face?"

"Fair enough, then Miss Wen, you drink it. Anyway, you don't drive, don't worry, if anything happens, I'll call the police for you." With that, Su Qing reached for the wine bottle.

Seeing this, feeling guilty, Lu Yang grabbed the wine in his hand, neither drinking nor not drinking.

Beside them, Wen Nanqing looked at the two confused.

"Miss Wen, you drank quite a lot of water, didn't you just say you wanted to go to the bathroom?" Su Qing suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, the landlady was stunned. When did she say she wanted to go to the bathroom?

"No, I feel fine."

Su Qing: "I think now you should feel like going."

"No, I don't want to!"

"No, you do!"

With that, Wen Nanqing leaned over, whispering in his ear: "You want to talk to him alone about something? This person is very despicable."

Having reached this point, no matter how oblivious the landlady is, she knows what he intends to do, simply to dismiss her and confront Lu Yang on his own.

But knowing her ex-husband's character all too well, she couldn't feel at ease, especially since Su Qing still seemed like a young man in his early twenties in her eyes, how could he possibly handle someone like her ex-husband, hence her unease.

Hearing this, Su Qing also helplessly realized that the landlady wasn't cooperative, what could he do?

Furthermore, they were now very close, the warm breath from her small mouth was hitting his ear directly, tickling. This whispering behavior, he hadn't experienced in a long time.

So, his ears were visibly turning red, Wen Nanqing noticed his peculiarity halfway through talking but didn't expose him, instead she secretly snickered, truly he was a little brother, unable to resist teasing.

One wonders how Shen Yi managed, not having succeeded for so long.

Having seen the two start whispering again, Lu Yang couldn't help but speak up:

"I'll use the washroom first, care to join?"

To this, Su Qing responded with a smile:

"Doesn't matter, but I'm afraid you'll feel inferior!"
