A faint scent of pine and snow wafted over, and Qin Wenjun instinctively stepped back.

Bai Yanzhang pressed down on his left shoulder.

"Wait a moment, it's fallen into the hair bun, we haven't taken it out yet."

Qin Wenjun had no choice but to stand still.

Aside from her son, she had never been so close to a man before—not counting the time in the flower garden.

I feel uncomfortable all over.

My head drooped unconsciously, and I had an urge to hide myself.

Just as she was about to pry a hole in the toe of her shoe with her toes, Bai Yanzhang took two steps back and said gently, "That's enough."

Is it really healed?

Qin Wenjun had some doubts.

She felt that her hair bun was heavier than before, as if the flower was still on her head.

But Bai Yanzhang was clearly holding a flower in his hand.

"It's probably just my imagination," she thought.

"Thank you."

She thanked Bai Yanzhang.

Bai Yanzhang chuckled: "No need to be so polite."

As he spoke, his gaze seemed to sweep over her hair, making her inexplicably uneasy.

Tianci, who had been waiting impatiently for some time, asked, "Dad, didn't you say you had a gift for me? Where is it?"

"Don't worry, the gift won't run away. Dad will take you there now."

After Bai Yanzhang finished speaking, he took Tianci's empty right hand and walked to the right.

Qin Wenjun hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to let go of Tianci's hand.

Tianci grabbed her arm and called out, "Mother, hurry up and follow me!"

"……good."

She took two steps forward and caught up with the father and son.

Bai Yanzhang led them to the stables.

Pointing to a pony with only four white legs and the rest black, he said, "This is the gift your father prepared for you."

"pony!"

Tianci's eyes lit up. He let go of the two men's hands, ran to the horse's head, and reached out to hug the horse's face.

"Great! I have my own horse now."

Qin Wenjun was a little worried.

"Tianci, you're not familiar with it yet, so don't touch it."

She then tried to carry him back.

Bai Yanzhang reached out to stop her and said with a smile, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. This horse is very docile."

Tianci hugged it for a while before letting go and asked Bai Yanzhang, "Dad, can I feed it grass?"

"Sure. But it prefers carrots."

Where can I find carrots?

"This way."

Bai Yanzhang pointed to the baskets in the corner of the stable.

Tianci happily fetched a carrot and fed it to the horse, grinning from ear to ear.

He kept feeding the horse until it shook its head at the sight of carrots before he stopped.

"Dad, what's its name?"

"It doesn't have a name yet, you can give it one."

Tianci looked at the horse's four short white legs and said, "How about we call it Four Whites?"

"sure."

"Si Bai, your name is Si Bai, can you hear me?"

Tianci called out again and again, until Qin Wenjun's ears were sore from hearing it, but he never got tired of it.

Bai Yanzhang brought over a small saddle and placed it on the horse's back.

Tianci frowned: "Dad, it's still so small, can people sit on it?"

Bai Yanzhang explained, "It's not a foal, it's a mature horse, it can only grow this small."

Tianci felt relieved and let Bai Yanzhang help him onto the saddle. They rode around the entire Bai residence several times before reluctantly returning to the stables and dismounting.

Bai Yanzhang took him and Qin Wenjun to the dining room for a meal.

The dishes were plentiful, and most of them were the mother and son's favorites.

After a moment's thought, Qin Wenjun realized that this person must have gotten information from Tianci and found out what dishes the mother and son liked to eat.

Flowers really have a lot of ideas.

If he can maintain this lifestyle, he wouldn't be a bad father.

Just as I was thinking this, a piece of garlic chicken wing appeared in my bowl.

She looked up instantly.

Bai Yanzhang looked at her calmly: "I remember you mentioned that your favorite food is chicken wings, right?"

Yes, I did say that, but that was several years ago.

It's kind of you that this person still remembers.

"Thanks."

Qin Wenjun said softly.

Bai Yanzhang smiled slightly and went to serve Tianci some food.

It was as if giving her the chicken wing was just a casual gesture, not something done intentionally to evoke her memories.

Qin Wenjun lowered her head, eating chicken wings as she thought, "Luckily, Bai Yanzhang wasn't this cunning before, otherwise I'm afraid I would have climbed over the wall to break him out of prison during that month of confinement."

After dinner, Qin Wenjun took out the cake made by Xiao Qingyin, lit the candles, and asked Tianci to make a wish.

Tianci opened his eyes immediately after closing them.

"I wish every day could be like today, with my parents!"

Qin Wenjun: "..."

Could this wish have been instigated by Bai Yanzhang?

She glared at Bai Yanzhang.

Bai Yanzhang looked completely innocent.

He patted Tianci's little head: "Daddy will try his best."

Try to marry your mother as soon as possible.

Of course, he only dared to say the second half of the sentence silently in his heart.

Otherwise, Qin Wenjun would probably have turned her back on him and left immediately.

His reasoning made a lot of sense, and Qin Wenjun wanted to beat him up as soon as she heard the first half of his sentence.

Making promises to children that you can't keep only hurts them.

She said she would serve the girl for life, and he's still here wielding a hoe, ignoring her words, isn't he?

"Mom, time for cake!"

The cry of God brought her back to her attention.

She quickly took the cake.

The comfort of the delicious cake quickly dispelled my worries.

Fine, let Bai Yanzhang try his best if he wants to.

After hitting a few more walls, he would naturally understand that her heart for the girl was as unmovable as a rock.

She'll give up on her own without her having to say anything.
