In the end, they arrived at KMAN menswear store, a top-tier Chinese streetwear brand that had extended an olive branch to Jiang Chi when he first debuted.

At this moment, Chaochao had a bag of candy on her lap, a small bag on her back, and was sitting on the leather sofa in a daze, holding a freshly squeezed pomegranate juice that the shop assistant had gently handed to her.

"Chaochao, wait here for a bit, your brother will be out soon." The shop assistant looked at the soft and cuddly little dumpling, her heart melting. "Little one... Chaochao, just tell your big sister if you want anything."

Chaochao took a sip of the sweet juice from her cup and nodded seriously, "Mmm, I know."

The fitting room door was pushed open from the inside.

How about this one?

Jiang Chi wore a dark-colored, modern Chinese-style two-piece suit, with long sleeves and trousers, an exquisitely patterned front opening, and silver buttons that gleamed coldly. A few strands of black hair were casually hidden in the high collar, which accentuated the young man's long neck and fair skin.

[Ahhh, my love for Jiang Dingliu is back! He's so handsome!!!]

Putting everything else aside, my brother's face is absolutely top-notch in the industry.

[Only children make choices; I want both the older brother and the younger sister!!!]

Chaochao put down her juice cup and gave a thumbs up: "Brother is super handsome!"

The young man smiled broadly, clearly in high spirits.

Then.

The door opened. "What about this one?"

Sitting on the sofa, Chaochao clapped loudly: "That's so cool!"

Where is this white hoodie?

After finishing the last sip of her juice, Chaochao exclaimed, "It looks good too!!"

"My brother looks good in everything he wears!!!"

Chaochao, who accompanied her brother shopping, would start showering Jiang Chi with compliments whenever he appeared, probably praising him to the skies.

The system couldn't help but reflect on the little dumpling's actions.

...So why is Chaochao able to perfectly portray the role of a married man accompanying his wife shopping?

Netizens were laughing so hard they almost died when they saw this.

Jiang Chi is so narcissistic, hahaha.

How did their group manage to create an art style that's completely different from the others?! Think about what your task is, for crying out loud!

“This one—this one, wrap up the whole row.”

Shop assistant: "We can deliver these to you from our store."

"No need, just normal spending."

Jiang Chi finally chose the white casual sweatshirt that was easy to move in. When he swiped his card to pay at the counter, he glanced up at the little dumpling on the sofa.

The little dumpling, who had been staring blankly out of the shop, seemed to sense her brother's gaze and turned around abruptly, blinking her almond-shaped eyes at Jiang Chi.

New clothes will be delivered to your address by a dedicated person.

Jiang Chi leaned closer to the little girl and pinched her bun. "Wait for me."

Chaochao tilted her head back and asked, "Brother, where are you going?"

Jiang Chi casually gave an excuse: "I'm going to get a haircut."

"Then brother must come back quickly..."

Jiang Chi asked the accompanying PD to take good care of Chaochao, and then went straight out of the store.

He glanced back one last time and saw two security guards mingling among the passersby near the Cman menswear store. Completely relieved, he quickened his pace and hurried towards his destination.

Chaochao sat alone on the sofa, chatting with the girl from time to time. After eating all the snacks in the store, she was about to start playing house, taking on two roles at once.

The smartwatch suddenly lit up, and the green answer button slid open.

Grandpa Huo's face appeared on the small, square screen.

"Chaochao, why are you all alone here?"

Old Master Huo, who was following the live stream closely, knew that Jiang Chi had left unexpectedly; he had come to confront him.

This kid actually dared to leave Chaochao alone in the store. He has no sense of propriety at all. His grandfather should make a video call to keep an eye on her so she doesn't get kidnapped.

Chaochao was very surprised: "Grandpa, how did you know I was all alone?"

The little dumpling raised her watch and showed it to the girls around her: "There are still so many people here."

Old Master Huo: "..."

The cameraman wanted to move to the back to record the little boy's smartwatch as well, but Director Zou stopped him immediately: "Just record some sound, don't film people!"

Zou Shilin wiped away his cold sweat. Oh my god, he almost exposed Old Huo.

"My brother went out to do something and told me to wait here for a bit," Chaochao said happily to her little watch. "Grandpa, I played in a really big building. I rode the rocking horse, ate candy, and even helped a big bear pick up its head!"

The helpful little dumpling is especially proud, and a single word of praise is enough for her.

The last sentence, "What do you mean, 'picked up a head'?" was extremely eerie. If the old man hadn't known the situation, he would have thought there had been a murder in the mall.

After a long string of praises, Grandpa Huo said, "It seems Chaochao had a lot of fun..."

They barely spared Jiang Chi's life.

“Of course,” Chaochao chimed in, then drifted off into thought. “We already have Big Bear and Little Bear… so how about we call the older bear… Little Bear Three…?”

While Chaochao was ranking, she suddenly saw Pei Yushen unexpectedly appear in the frame behind Grandpa Huo and immediately greeted him with delight: "Oh, Brother Yushen, you're here too! Let me tell you, this place is so much fun, do you want to come and play?"

The boy remained silent for a long time.

The nanny answered for him, "Young Master Pei is not coming after all. Miss Chaochao, I hope you have fun."

Although Chaochao was a little disappointed by the answer, she wasn't too disappointed. "Okay, it's alright. I bought you some candy and I'll be back soon!"

The PD girl gently reminded him, "Chao Chao, there's a... bear looking for you at the door."

When Chaochao peeked out, it was Xiong San!

"Grandpa, Brother Xiong San is here to see me, so I have to talk to you now."

After hanging up the video call, Chaochao curiously ran to the door, wondering what Xiong San wanted to see her about...

In the living room.

Pei Yushen stared at the innocent and adorable little dumpling on the TV screen, and the teddy bear that was squatting down to talk to her.

The boy's dark eyes were tinged with a sickly gloom.

Do you still want to take her away from me?

The words that were not spoken during the call were finally uttered at this moment.

"Can."
