Today was the day to go to the Fairy Tale Kingdom amusement park. Those who usually have trouble getting up were all ready before seven o'clock, and they were in great spirits, completely without the usual feeling of helplessness when going to work.

Mu Hua and Ni An were going to get their car underground, while Du Xiaoruo and Xia Qing took the children and came out of the elevator on the first floor first.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw in the lobby that someone seemed to be moving; there were many packing boxes scattered around the usually clean and spacious lobby.

Du Xiaoruo's gaze fell on a little boy standing next to a large takeout box that was about a meter tall. He looked somewhat familiar, yet also somewhat unfamiliar.

After taking a closer look, Du Xiaoruo remembered that the little boy was the one who pushed the small book around; his name seemed to be Zhang Jiafeng. The reason Du Xiaoruo hadn't recognized him at first glance was entirely because the boy's demeanor was completely different.

He used to be arrogant and domineering, with a rebellious look in his eyes. Now he is weak and helpless, standing timidly next to the big box, and his eyes dart away when he sees Du Xiaoruo and the others.

"Zhang Jiafeng, Lalamove is here. Could you help me move the little thing over there first?"

The boy's mother, Zhang Hui, came over shouting. When she saw Du Xiaoruo and the others, she was startled and looked timid. She even gave Du Xiaoruo and the others a slight bow.

Du Xiaoruo gave a slight bow in return, "Are you moving?"

"Ah, moving, moving." The woman seemed afraid of them, her eyes darting around and her voice weak.

Du Xiaoruo wasn't good at talking to people she didn't know well, so she quickly greeted them and then led the children out.

Everyone stood by the roadside waiting for the nanny van to arrive. Xia Qing whispered in Du Xiaoruo's ear...

"That family must have been dealt with by Mu Hua."

Du Xiaoruo pursed her lips, thinking that it shouldn't be that bad, since Mu Hua usually seemed quite gentle and open-minded.

Absolutely.

Xia Qingye's tone was quite confident.

"You don't know what's going on in the entertainment industry. People are like wearing shells. What you see on the surface is just a persona. As for what's inside, only they know. After a while, they probably won't be able to tell either."

Du Xiaoruo nodded and didn't say anything more; she really didn't know anything about the entertainment industry.

When the van drove out, the cameramen sent by the production team to follow them also arrived.

As soon as the camera was turned on, a large number of netizens flooded into the live stream.

Wow, Lele in pink is so adorable! Her curly hair and pink outfit are just so cute.

[Xiao Shu, hahaha, Xiao Shu's black T-shirt, black sunglasses, and the scar on his forehead make him look like he's about to venture into the world.]

The car was about to leave. Lele stood in front of the van, anxiously glancing back towards the lobby.

Why isn't Dad coming out yet?

Oh right, now everyone remembers that Qiao An also said yesterday that she wanted to go to the amusement park together. Could she have overslept?

Lele took out her phone and dialed Qiao An's number, but the phone rang from the lobby. Everyone looked up.

Qiao An wore a light pink custom-made T-shirt from the program team, paired with white knee-length casual suit shorts. A striped jacket was loosely draped over her shoulders, and square sunglasses from L's brand were the finishing touch, adding a cool and mysterious feel to the casual look.

[OMG, that's incredibly handsome! I'm seriously, I'm getting a nosebleed!]

Having gotten used to seeing Ha Zong in a sharp suit, I almost didn't recognize him at first glance, thinking he was some idol causing a scene.

[No wonder their main job is in the clothing industry; I absolutely love this outfit.]

[Mr. Ha, with sunglasses on, you don't care about anyone.]

Joanne strode towards them with light steps, walked up to the van, and snapped her fingers with her right hand.

"Am I incredibly handsome? You know I'm handsome, so wipe your drool."

Mu Hua: "...You'd better not say anything, that way I can love you for three more minutes."

[Haha, Mu Hua and Qiao An are quite funny, are they best friends who are always bickering? Did they know each other before?]

[We didn't know each other before. Mu Hua said on his social media account that he met Qiao An through participating in Bei Bei Restaurant. He is grateful for Qiao An's contributions to Bei Bei Restaurant, but hopes that Qiao An can speak less in the future.]

[Hahaha, Mu Hua is right. When Qiao An isn't talking, he's a cold and aloof CEO, but once he starts talking, he's like a silly little husky.]

The van headed towards the amusement park. It wasn't the weekend, so there weren't many cars on the road and no traffic jams. It took about half an hour to reach the entrance of the amusement park.

Mu Hua used the electronic code provided by the program team to redeem eight package tickets at the self-service ticket machine. The package tickets included all the rides in the park, as well as a lunch and an afternoon tea.

After confirming that they wouldn't be tricked by the production team this time, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and cheered as they ran towards the amusement park.

At the entrance gate, there is a huge pirate ship with 36 seats, with a few tourists sitting on it.

Park staff greeted them, "Would you like to ride the pirate ship here? No need to queue, we're setting sail right away."

"Sit down, sit down." Mu Hua quickly raised his hand to indicate, and then explained to the others, "When you come across a ride in an amusement park that doesn't require queuing, go for it as soon as possible to save time."

"Children, sit in the front."

Under the guidance of the administrator, everyone boarded the pirate ship one by one.

"I want to sit in the back." When it was Lele's turn, he raised his hand and obediently said to the attendant, "Uncle, I'm over 1.2 meters tall, I want to sit in the very back."

"Good, that's a brave little boy." The administrator gave him a thumbs up and reminded him, "Be careful and fasten your seatbelt."

Lele chose the last seat, and as his parents, Du Xiaoruo and Qiao An naturally sat in the same row as him.

Du Xiaoruo has never been to an amusement park. When she was little, her aunt was very busy and didn't have time to pay attention to these entertainment activities. As she grew up, coupled with her personality, she rarely went to such lively places, so she has never been to an amusement park.

After sitting down, Du Xiaoruo was a little nervous. "Is this the only horizontal bar that can block it?" She mustered up her courage and asked the staff to confirm. She was determined not to lose her life here because of a careless mistake.

"Yes, it's very safe, don't worry." The administrator answered her question with a smile, then turned to greet other tourists.

Lele saw that Du Xiaoruo was a little scared, so she whispered some words of comfort.

"Mom, don't be afraid. According to the laws of circular motion, the second half of the motion will not deviate from the track. So although you may feel weightless, due to the centrifugal force, you will never be thrown off. So it is actually very safe."

Hearing their conversation, Joanne silently offered her arm.

"You... um, if you're scared, just grab my arm."

Once aboard the pirate ship, the guests were all wearing head-mounted filming equipment, with cameras shooting in front of them. (Netizens...)

Xiaoruo must have saved the galaxy in her past life to have such a sensible son and such a charming and gentle husband in this life.

[A stepmother saving the galaxy? I'm dying of laughter! And she says Joan is charming and gentle? How many rich kids are good people? I'm waiting for her downfall.]

[Upstairs, are you Qiao Qingchuan? Speak from the main page.]

[Hahahaha, what the hell is Qiao Qingchuan? I'm dying of laughter.]

After everyone was ready, the administrator checked the safety bar again to make sure there were no problems. Then, the administrator pressed the button, and the pirate ship slowly started moving.

At first it was fine, it felt like swinging on a swing, but with each sway, the pirate ship got higher and higher, and when it reached the top, Du Xiaoruo felt like she was about to fly out.

The pirate ship paused at the top for a moment, then plummeted downwards at breakneck speed, followed by a terrifying feeling of weightlessness.

Lele closed his eyes, letting the wind blow his curly hair backward, as if he was enjoying the feeling of weightlessness.

Du Xiaoruo was a little scared when she first fell, but after two or three times, she gradually got used to this unfamiliar feeling and began to feel a kind of thrill of disregarding life and death, which she found inexplicably enjoyable.

Just then, a scream came from the side. Du Xiaoruo turned around and saw Qiao An gripping the horizontal bar tightly with both hands, screaming in fright.

His looks were so striking; even with his features all over the place, he was still breathtakingly handsome. Du Xiaoru stared at him for two seconds and then blushed.

In the live stream room,

[Hahaha, Mr. Ha, I never expected you to be like this! Didn't you tell people to grab your arm if they were scared? Turns out, you're the one who's scared the most.]

[Xiao Ruo is so cute. She blushed and secretly looked at President Ha, but then didn't comfort him. Hahaha.]

Xiaoruo: "My fears are all other people's; all I see is my handsome husband."

Stepping off the pirate ship, Joan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she felt as light as if she were walking on cotton.

When everyone reached the giant swing, he clung tightly to the lamppost in front of him, refusing to get on. Judging by his stance, if anyone dared to force him onto the swing, he'd smash his head against the lamppost and die, just like someone forcing a woman into prostitution in ancient times.

Mu Hua laughed until he was shaking, and after a long while, he pointed at Qiao An.

“Perfect timing. Xiaoshu and Xiangxiang can’t ride the pendulum ride, so you can take them to ride the carousel.”

Joan leaned against the lamppost, looking weak, helpless, and angry.

As the music of "Happy Birthday" played on the carousel, Joan sat quietly on a little white horse, with Xiangxiang and Xiaoshu riding little brown and little dappled horses beside her.

Thinking back, she even thoughtfully took a lollipop from her small backpack and shared it with Qiao An.

Qiao An, lollipop dangling from his lips, bobbed up and down with the rhythm of the little white horse, his face serene and content, but his heart was filled with despair. He regretted coming; why had he chosen to embarrass himself like this? He could already picture Secretary Jin and the others mocking him in their group chat.

Screams came from the roller coaster. Du Xiaoruo and Lele sat side by side, their big hands tightly clasped together, screaming loudly as they felt weightless. This was a moment of relaxation that Du Xiaoruo had never experienced before.

Du Xiaoruo and her friends went on the drop tower, roller coaster, giant swing, and log flume. They tried all the exciting rides in the amusement park that morning.

Qiao An, along with Xiangxiang and Xiaoshu, rode the carousel, the sightseeing train, the spinning airplane, and the Ferris wheel, and was thoroughly ridiculed by netizens for the entire morning.

At noon, we had a fast food meal at the amusement park restaurant. Mu Hua suggested that we all go to the haunted house in the afternoon, and the three little ones immediately said they wanted to go too.

As she munched on a chicken leg, she complained in a soft, sweet voice, "I want to go to the haunted house too! I don't want to play with my uncle, he's so childish."

Joanne put down her coffee cup and spoke earnestly.

"Think about it, watch your words. I didn't call it childishness. I was just kind and willing to spend time with kids. Get it straight."

Thinking about it, I stuck out my tongue and said, "It's just childish."

Little Shu stretched out his chubby little arm and pointed at the Ferris wheel outside the window, "When we first rode the Ferris wheel, Ha Zong even asked the uncle who was driving it if he could go slower, hahaha, he's such a coward."

Joan said, "You're the coward! You're so childish!"

The little book says, "Mr. Ha is the most childish, hehehe."

Joe, who is less than six months old: "You are the most childish person in the world."

Little Book, "more mature than you."

"Alright, alright." Everyone started trying to mediate, "Say less, everyone. We're all here to have fun."

In the live stream room,

[Hahaha, how come a six-month-old is already arguing with a little book?]

[I'm dying of laughter! And the others are seriously trying to mediate, hahaha, how hilarious!]

[When I saw Ha Zong's incredibly cool entrance this morning, I thought he was some kind of gaming legend. Turns out, he didn't even graduate from kindergarten.]

After having lunch and resting for a while, everyone headed towards the haunted house.

The theme of the haunted house in the amusement park is [□□]. The NPCs are dressed as characters from fairy tales, but in a scary version, such as Rapunzel whose head falls off, a frog prince who lays eggs, Cinderella's stepsisters whose toes have been cut off, and Snow White who is covered in bruises from being poisoned by a poisoned apple.

The NPCs at [□□] are said to be very realistic, which has drawn criticism from many parents who say they are ruining childhood memories. However, the amusement park organizers have not canceled the attraction. On the contrary, many people are coming to visit, and its popularity is growing.

As we approached the eerie castle gate, the mottled marks on the walls and the faint traces of red blood made us feel a chill even before we got close, and everyone felt a little uneasy.

Mu Hua suggested, "Let's hold hands and encourage each other."

Du Xiaoruo happened to be standing between Lele and Qiao An. When Mu Hua said to hold hands, she held Lele's hand with her right hand and Qiao An's hand with her left hand.

Lele is a child and has had a lot of contact with Du Xiaoruo, so holding hands with him didn't feel like anything. But when Du Xiaoruo touched Qiao An's slightly cool fingertips, her heart started pounding wildly and her face felt hot and flushed.

Du Xiaoruo secretly glanced at Qiao An's hands. They were white and slender, with a fair and warm jade-like skin. His hands were as perfect as jade carvings. Now, holding his hands in those hands, which were comparable to those of a hand model, Du Xiaoruo felt her face flush and her heart race just thinking about it.

Because she was too shy, Du Xiaoruo had no time to pay attention to her surroundings.

Entering the main hall of the castle, the mottled and ancient hall is full of ruins. The huge crystal chandelier seems to be about to fall down at any moment, making a creaking sound in the empty space.

Holding hands, they cautiously groped their way forward in the dark space. Suddenly, a blonde princess rushed out from a dilapidated king's chair directly in front of them. She was wearing tattered clothes, and there was congealed blood on her head and face, making her look terrifying.

She ran wildly toward the crowd, and the sudden turn of events made everyone scream in fear.

"Waaaaah..." The princess let out a terrifying whimper, "I've been trapped in this damned castle every day, surviving by drinking human blood. I've been starving for so long..."

As the princess approached them, Xiangxiang was so frightened that she hid in Xia Qingye's arms. Xia Qingye was so frightened that she hid in Ni An's arms. Ni An hugged Mu Hua directly. Mu Hua couldn't tell who was who. In short, everyone was huddled together in a mess.

Lele gripped Du Xiaoruo's hand tightly, her voice trembling. "Mommy, I'm scared."

Du Xiaoruo remained completely unmoved. Her entire attention was focused on the hand that Qiao An was holding. His fingertips were slightly cool, but his palm was dry and warm, which felt so comfortable. She could also faintly smell the familiar woody perfume scent, a scent that Du Xiaoruo often smelled in Qiao An's car.

Joan didn't notice the scary princess either. Anyway, no matter how scary the princess's appearance was, she was just an NPC and wouldn't cause any harm.

He felt that the hand in his palm was very soft, delicate and white, as if it would break if he squeezed it hard, which made his heart flutter.

The terrifying princess said, "I will drink your blood."

Lele: "Mom and Dad, I'm scared, let's run!"

Du Xiaoruo and Qiao An held hands for the first time; it felt so magical.

Princess, "Blood sucking..." Forget it, I'm not sucking anymore. Damn it, I've encountered two idiots. She turned around and left.

In the live stream room,

[Hey, hey, hey, why did she leave? Holy crap, what's going on? Why did the female ghost leave?]

[Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard I'm crying! Mr. Ha, you two can't stand anyone else, can you? Not even a female ghost?]

[I'm so sorry, I was scared half to death while my parents were busy dating.]

Because the Rapunzel adventure failed at the start, the subsequent strange NPCs didn't really resonate with the group. After teasing the NPCs for a while, it was almost time for everyone to leave the castle.

At the entrance of the castle stood Director Kang, who was all smiles.

"Oh my god!" Mu Hua exclaimed, "What are you doing here? That's scary!"

Director Kang remained as calm and composed as ever.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Congratulations on having a great day. Today's recording will be over soon. We have a break before the third mission begins. For the next week, we will be live streaming your daily lives at home."

"So that means I don't have to go to work at the restaurant anymore?" Ni An asked.

"Yes, everyone can just livestream from home. We'll arrange for someone to install cameras in your homes later. If you go out, there will also be cameramen filming you."

"Phew..." Ni An breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally rest for a week. During this time, he felt like he had been marinated in hot pot.

Xiangxiang looked up at her mother and asked, "Mom, should we go home too?"

Xia Qing understood her worries. "We're going back to your grandparents' house. That will be our home from now on. Grandma has even prepared a pink princess room for you. Go and see if you like it."

Xiangxiang's expression instantly brightened. "That's great!"

In the live stream room,

[Qiao Qingchuan, that scumbag. If he weren't such a jerk, how happy he would be.]

Why isn't that scumbag Qiao dead yet? If it's hard to get evidence against Han Nianwei, surely there's evidence of him breaking into a house with a knife, right? Why isn't he punished? Does the Jin family really have so much power over everything?

[Was the Kim family involved in this despicable affair? Holy crap.]

Although there's no explicit evidence, Kim Hee-jin is, after all, the Kim family's daughter. The Kim family can't just sit idly by, can they? Anyway, all crows are black.

After announcing the upcoming recording schedule, Director Kang smiled and said goodbye to everyone, "Everyone, go back and get some rest. See you at the next recording."

Everyone came in the nanny van this morning, and now they all have to go back to Chenxiang Apartment to pick up their luggage, so Mu Hua will drive the nanny van back together.

Upon reaching the entrance of the amusement park, Qiao An said,

"Our family won't be joining you. My secretary has brought the car over, so let's say goodbye here."

"Okay." Mu Hua patted Qiao An on the shoulder. "I'm off now."

Little Shu nestled in her father's arms and made a face at Qiao An, saying, "You're the most childish."

Qiao An smiled and tapped his nose, then said to Mu Hua, "Drive slower."

Mu Hua and the others got into the nanny car and left. Only then did Du Xiaoru realize that her current situation was a bit awkward. When she first transmigrated, she lived in the Qiao family's manor. After she started recording the show, she had been living in the dormitory. Now that she could no longer live in the dormitory, she realized that she didn't have a place she could go back to at any time.

Logically, she should be living in Qiao An's current home now, as she is now Qiao An's wife. However, they had stayed at Qiao An's home before when there was noise from upstairs. Although it was a large single-level apartment of over 400 square meters, it was probably a temporary arrangement, as there was only one bedroom with a bed.

Du Xiaoruo felt a little lost and inexplicably disappointed. It was only then that she realized she was also a rootless person in this world.

The Bentley stopped at the entrance of the amusement park, and Secretary Kim rolled down the window and smiled at them.

Joanne drove to the back seat, turned around, and decisively ordered, "You two get in the car."

Then he opened the passenger side door and got in.

Lele climbed into the car first, sat down, and fastened her seatbelt. Du Xiaoru hesitated for a moment, then got in as well.

As Qiao An had instructed beforehand, Secretary Jin drove the car to the largest furniture store in Wencheng.

"Dad, are we going to buy furniture?" Lele asked curiously after getting out of the car, seeing the store sign.

“Mm.” Joan answered naturally, “The house we’re in now is just a temporary one. I didn’t expect you to move in, so we need to furnish it with some more furniture, like a bed and a desk. You can choose whatever you want later.”

Lele was visibly happy to hear that she was going to get new furniture.

He skipped and hopped along beside his parents, then asked, "What about Mom? Does she need new furniture?"

Du Xiaoruo pretended not to pay attention to their conversation, but actually pricked up her ears, waiting for Qiao An's answer.

“Mom doesn’t need it,” Joan said.

Du Xiaoruo's heart skipped a beat. The previous marriage of convenience was a sham by Qiao An to lower Qiao Qingchuan's guard. Now that he had broken ties with the Qiao family, the marriage of convenience was meaningless. Someone as shrewd and self-serving as Qiao An would naturally choose to end this relationship that had lost all value.

Just as Du Xiaoruo was lost in thought, she heard Qiao An say,

“My mom and I share a room, so we don’t need to buy anything new.”

Du Xiaoruo stopped and went over Qiao An's words in her mind before she understood what he meant.

What does it mean to share a room?

Why should we share a room?

This obligation wasn't mentioned in the agreement.

Qiao An noticed that Secretary Jin was pausing to look at a reclining chair for the elderly, quite a distance away from them, so she leaned close to Du Xiaoruo's ear and whispered something.

"If we don't share a room, the live stream will be exposed."

Du Xiaoruo nodded in relief; Qiao An was indeed very thoughtful. She pursed her lips and replied softly,

"Don't worry, I promise I won't touch you."
