The two little ones stood beside Joyce, feeding the rabbits chocolate with Noah's golden cane. Joyce felt a little more at ease. Rabelle was next to him. Joyce was very satisfied with Noah's meticulous care for Rabelle. Seeing that Joyce was more relaxed, Anning let Thunder and Joyce talk. Thunder put his arm around Joyce and talked to him about some men's topics.

Anning clinked glasses with Lucy, and Lyra glanced at Noah, who was laughing so hard his eyes disappeared, and was temporarily relieved.

Noah: "Rabelle, you buttoned this button on your clothes, which means you have me in your heart."

Rabelle: "Noah, I really like your 'Guardian Rabelle'. I want to give you a gift in return."

Noah: "Oh my god, you're going to give me a present? What present?"

Rabelle: "My Star Eye System allows you to add one good friend to serve you every year. I'll start serving you today."

Noah: "Is this true? Rabelle, are you going to expose me to the public? Your Star Eye System is starting to work for me."

Rabelle: "Noah, you're my good friend, but you're not quite good enough to be my boyfriend."

Noah: "I'm so happy, Rabelle, thank you, I'm glad to be your friend."

Noah and Rabelle hugged, and Joyce immediately pulled them apart.

Joyce: "Rabelle, you can't hug boys."

Rabelle: "Dad, you're so childish. Noah and I have nothing. We're just good friends."

Joyce: "Rabelle, Daddy's holding you. You're not allowed to feed the rabbits with him anymore."

Joyce reached out to hug Rabelle, but Rabelle took a step back and looked at Thunder, hoping he would help her.

Rabelle: "Sir Thunder, please help me distract my father. I still have something to say to Noah."

Thunder: "Hahaha, good, my god, I've been laughing so hard ever since I saw you and Noah. Joyce, come to the bathroom with me, I'm going to make you admit defeat."

Joyce: "Oh? You want to convince me on this? You're exaggerating. Rabelle is not allowed to get too close to Noah. Lucy, keep an eye on Rabelle. Thunder and I will be back in a bit."

Rabelle breathed a sigh of relief. Joyce and Thunder went to the bathroom, and Noah got Rabelle a glass of cherry juice and fed it to her with a straw. Anning and Lyra Lucy's hearts melted at the sight; the two little ones were so adorable.

Rabelle: "How did you know I love cherry juice?"

Noah: "I can smell that your body scent is permeated with the fragrance of cherries."

Rabelle: "You have a really good nose. Your Zhongshan suit today is very unique. Was it custom-made based on Sir Alex Ferguson's suit?"

Noah: "Yes, I'll tell you a secret: how Sir Thunder won Aunt Anning's heart."

Noah and Rabelle whispered in each other's ears. Rabelle covered her mouth and laughed out loud when she heard what he said. Noah laughed when he saw her laughing. Anning waved her hand and a swarm of green fireflies floated over, instantly enveloping the two little ones. It was the first time Rabelle had ever seen real fireflies. She reached out and touched them, feeling very curious.

Rabelle: "Real fireflies are so beautiful. Noah, look, its tail is glowing."

Noah: "I've got a great idea. Waiter, I'd like a small, openwork silver lantern."

The waiter presented the silver paper lantern with a hollow design. Noah waved his hand, and a small firefly flew into the lantern. Noah then gave it to Rabelle, who was overjoyed to receive the lantern.

Rabelle: "Wow, so beautiful."

Noah: "Rabelle, shall we release the fireflies later?"

Rabelle: "Okay, we must respect life."

Noah: "Yes, fireflies use their lives to convey light and beauty to us, and we should respect them."

Rabelle: "Hehe, Noah, you really surprised me."

Lucy was captivated by Noah; the little boy's words were so philosophical, no wonder he was Lyra's son. Lucy and Lyra clinked glasses.

Lucy: "Lyra, I have high hopes for Noah."

Leila: "I also really like Rabelle."

An Ning, raising her wine glass, said, "I'd like to be the matchmaker for your two families. Cheers!"

Lucy: "Haha, thanks Anning, cheers!"

Leila: "Great, thank you Anning, cheers."

Seeing that there was nothing going on in the pavilion for the time being, Liao Qian and Allen relaxed a little. The pastries from the dessert team were a rare treat, and Liao Qian picked up a cup of Allen's favorite sesame custard and fed it to him. Some nobles passing by cheered for them, while others ignored them, but Liao Qian and Allen didn't care at all. They only had eyes for each other. An Yang came over with a wine glass, and Liao Qian clinked glasses with him.

Anyang: "When does Brother Liao plan to return to China?"

Liao Qian: "Why are you going back with Lei Ting and An Ning?"

An Yang: "It's nothing. I miss my sister so much. I was worried that Lei Ting would bully her."

Liao Qian: "Your sister's abilities are obvious to all. Lei Ting can't bully her, so don't worry."

An Yang looked up and saw Qi Lier and Councilor Zeus walking over with wine glasses to clink glasses with Liao Qian. Qi Lier had no intention of clinking glasses with Allen, and Allen ignored her and clinked glasses with Councilor Zeus.

Zeus: "Liao, do you like my arrangements for tonight?"

Liao Qian: "Thank you for the warm hospitality of Councilor Zeus. It was very good. The dim sum team's dim sum is so delicious that you can feel at ease just by smelling it."

Zeus: "I'm glad you like it. Your and Allen's clothes are beautiful today. I really like the olive branches and doves printed on the cuffs."

Allen: "Peace-loving people will like this design. Chiriel, do you like it?"
