"dad!"

As soon as Lin Chu got home, Mai Mai, who was playing with toys in the living room, immediately heard the sound, turned around, got up, and happily rushed over to him.

Upon seeing her lively and adorable daughter, Lin Chu felt all her fatigue disappear.

She immediately smiled and half-squatted down, opening her arms to catch her daughter, asking her questions with affectionate tenderness and concern.

Did you have fun today?

"Where did Aunt Ge Lan take you?"

"Were you being naughty?"

Because he had to deal with Su Lin and the case with Wang Yang, and also cooperate with the police investigation, he hadn't been home for the past two days.

Similarly, he didn't want his daughter to know the devastating news that her mother had hired someone to kill her father, so as not to cause any impact on the child's young mind.

So he used a business trip as an excuse to hide for two days, and at the same time kept the news that Su Lin had been arrested by the police from the child.

When the child is older and more capable of learning, we can wait until they are older.

Find a suitable opportunity and method to gradually tell her the truth.

Lin Chu hugged Mai Mai and gently patted her little head.

At the same time, he looked up and cast a grateful glance at Ge Lan, who had stood up in the living room, and nodded slightly in thanks.

After they parted ways at the hot spring hotel, ski instructor Glen has been taking care of MaiMai.

Although she has been married for many years without having children, she has developed a special fondness and doting affection for Mai Mai after spending these few days with her, treating her like her own daughter.

With the help of Aunt Chen and the other nannies at home, nothing should go wrong.

Mai Mai had only just accepted the reality of her parents' divorce and her mother no longer coming home, and suddenly she was separated from her father for several days, which made her feel somewhat wronged and scared.

When she doesn't see her father, she can still act happy and carefree.

But the moment she saw her father come home, the emotions she had been suppressing inside her instantly erupted.

She had only run two steps with a smile when tears immediately started flowing uncontrollably.

She threw herself into Lin Chu's arms with a sob in her voice.

But all these negative emotions have now been dissolved by Lin Chu's warm embrace.

Lin Chu gently comforted Mai Mai for a few moments, then smiled and wiped away the tears that were welling up in her eyes.

He then coaxed her back to the living room.

During the two days he was away, he spent almost all of his time with his legal team, meticulously arranging all the subsequent case handling and matters concerning Su Lin.

This includes Su Lin's subsequent criminal conviction and divorce property division, as well as the backup plan left for her family, namely the several houses in their hometown.

Everything has been arranged.

There's no need for Lin Chu to get involved anymore; everything can be handled by the legal team.

Now that I'm home, I'm completely free.

He immediately handed over the work issues to Wang Yang and then began discussing with Ge Lan and Huang Yiyi the preparations for their upcoming skiing trip abroad in a few days.

Passports and visas for several adults and children, as well as various flight and transportation arrangements and hotel accommodations.

Every single detail could spark their excited discussions for ages.

Perhaps it's because all three of them had their true nature completely suppressed in their past marriages, so they all longed for this first vacation full of freedom after their divorces!

After all the details were finalized, Lin Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled as he looked at Huang Yiyi in the video call.

“In a few days it will be the school’s Parents’ Day. Mai Mai’s teacher asked me through her child if I could participate in the performance at their school’s Parents’ Day party.”

"I have already agreed."

"If there's time, I'd like to invite you all to MaiMai's Parents' Day."

"Do you have time?"

Upon hearing Lin Chu's words, Ge Lan, who was sitting on the other side of the living room sofa, also understood and was the first to smile and agree.

"Okay, okay, I've got nothing to do anyway. You guys have all gotten pretty good at basic skiing these past few days, so you can take a break."

"MaiMai and I are inseparable now, we depend on each other."

"I'm definitely going to Parents' Day!"

"I'm practically Mai Mai's parent too!"

Huang Yiyi was perceptive and understood the significance of this Parents' Day from Ge Lan's reaction. She immediately agreed with a smile without hesitation.

From Lin Chu's subtle expression of relief in the video call, Huang Yiyi was once again certain of her guess.

Both being single-parent families, she understood all too well the significance of Lin Chu's request.

After all, what happened to Mai Mai's biological mother, Su Lin, is still a real issue. Even though Lin Chu's legal and public relations teams are trying their best to calm the online rumors, it will definitely have some negative impact on reality.

For adults, their minds are already mature enough that it doesn't matter.

But children are emotionally fragile, and on Parents' Day, a day that requires parents to cooperate with their children and create a warm atmosphere, MaiMai really needs the presence of a female elder.

Even she and Ge Lan couldn't completely make up for Su Lin's lack of a mother figure.

However, this can minimize the impact of adult divorce on children.

Just as the three of them finished discussing their plans for Parents' Day, Lin Chu suddenly heard the long-absent notification sound from the system.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on achieving your life goals and reaching a new stage in life after ending your marriage, and diligently fulfilling the responsibilities of a single father!]

[Ding! Please accompany your child to a perfect Parents' Day event, ensuring a happy and unforgettable childhood!]

Lin Chu was taken aback when she heard about the system task.

Have I achieved my pursuit of a better life?

Looking back, after all the ups and downs and the torment and pain he has endured, it seems that he has finally managed to break free from the torment and devastation that Su Lin and his marriage of the past ten years had inflicted on him, and has successfully secured a new life for himself!

The arrangement of Parents' Day is a way for him to gradually adapt to being a good single father.

I no longer worry or agonize over marriage.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, muttering to himself, filled with emotion.

"In life, you must look forward!"

After figuring everything out, he felt completely refreshed and full of hope for the future!

Perfect timing! Completing this task will allow me to unlock all the lyrics and sheet music for the wildly popular parallel world single, "Legend."

Perhaps it can be used as a performance item for my daughter's parents' day gala.

Mai Mai's kindergarten is a well-known elite kindergarten, and the parents who attend the parents' day are all from wealthy and influential families.

There's a good chance you'll run into some big names in the music industry, and they might just help you promote your new song "Legend"!

While things were going well for them, in their rented apartment in the suburbs outside the Third Ring Road, Su Lin's adoptive parents were anxiously making phone calls one by one, seeking help.

"Hello? What? You said your house back home has been seized? What happened?"

“Su Lin and Su Yao have both been arrested by the police, and we were kicked out by that unscrupulous lawyer. We don’t even have tens of thousands of yuan left!”

"You can't just abandon us. We're all relatives. We helped you out a lot back then, didn't we?"

"Hey! Hey!!! Say something!!"
