We had lunch at Lin Wenfang's place.

Dai Yaozong returned just before dinner, followed by a handsome young man.

Little Rice Cake turned around, looked at Charlie who was fair-skinned and beautiful like a porcelain doll, paused for a moment, and then ran over with a scream: "Brother Charlie!"

He happily hugged the person tightly.

Little Rice Cake was moving too fast; He Tingchuan couldn't hold her back at all.

Seeing his daughter throwing herself into his arms, He Tingchuan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Little Rice Cake didn't notice her father's expression, only caring about her own happiness: "Great! I've met Brother Charlie! Did you come here especially to see me, Brother?"

Charlie blushed slightly, and nodded shyly to the enthusiastic little rice cake: "Let me go first."

"Hehe, Charlie, are you shy?" Little Rice Cake's question only made Charlie blush, not just his ears, but his face turned red as well.

Her fair face was flushed with a rosy blush, making her incredibly adorable.

Little Rice Cake laughed heartily: "Brother Charlie is blushing. Don't worry, Brother Charlie, I won't laugh at you."

Charlie was already embarrassed, and after she said it so bluntly, he didn't know how to face anyone. Feeling ashamed, he turned and left, not wanting to be laughed at by Little Rice Cake.

Knowing she had angered him, Little Rice Cake immediately chased after him, saying, "Brother Charlie, don't go! I finally came all the way to Hong Kong to see you, and I even brought you a gift!"

Charlie paused, but seeing the gift, he forgave her this time: "What gift?"

"I bought this Rabbit God especially for you. It's very pretty. Many children in Beijing have them. My mom took me to buy it, and I picked out a nice one for my brother." Little Rice Cake tugged at Charlie's sleeve: "Brother, don't you like it?"

Charlie reluctantly said, "You're not allowed to laugh at me, and you're not allowed to say I'm blushing."

To avoid upsetting anyone, Little Rice Cake nodded in compromise: "Okay!"

He Tingchuan, seeing his daughter run off with another boy, angrily looked at Yun Jin and said, "Look at her."

Yun Jin comforted the heart of the prematurely wounded old father: "They are good friends, don't overthink it. What do they know? They just happen to have some friends to play with."

He Tingchuan didn't believe it: "Is that so?"

"What else do you want? Your daughter is only six years old; she doesn't even know what smell is." Yun Jin retorted speechlessly.

He Tingchuan protected his daughter: "How could she not understand? Our daughter is very smart. She definitely knows what smells good and bad. Don't say that, or others will think our Nian Gao is not clever."

Yun Jin gave him a look, leaving him to interpret it himself.

He Tingchuan immediately tucked his tail between his legs and said, "My wife is right. I don't know whether rice cakes smell good or bad."

Yun Jin snorted coldly, and that was the end of it.

When Xiao Niangao and the others returned hand in hand, He Tingchuan gritted his teeth.

Little Rice Cake didn't notice her father's displeasure. She even took Charlie's hand and came to him, happily introducing him: "Dad, this is my good friend, Brother Charlie!"

He Tingchuan frowned as he looked at the handsome little boy in front of him, who was of mixed race. He Tingchuan nodded indifferently: "Hello!"

Charlie could clearly sense that the big man in front of him didn't like him, so he also put on a cold expression and greeted him indifferently: "Hello, Uncle, I'm Charlie, your daughter's friend."

During meals, Xiao Niangao usually sits between Yun Jin and He Tingchuan, which is how the family of three usually eats together.

Today, Little Rice Cake will sit next to Charlie.

He Tingchuan had already left his seat empty, and seeing his daughter abandon him to play with her friends, he felt a pang of sadness.

Yun Jin comforted her father's disappointed heart, moved to sit next to him, and said, "Don't worry, you still have me. I won't abandon you."

He Tingchuan: "..."

I felt both happy and disappointed.

Lunch was plentiful, mainly seafood, as well as local specialties. The dishes were mostly light and refreshing. One dish, bok choy, was particularly delicious—tender, juicy, and sweet. Even Xiao Niangao, who doesn't like vegetables, ate several bok choy.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Yun Jin chatted with them over tea. Yun Jin talked to Dai Yaozong about real estate, and Dai Yaozong happened to be in charge of this area. He told Yun Jin a lot about the industry's development prospects, which made Yun Jin secretly alarmed.

She's from another time, so she knows what will happen to the real estate market in the future.

Unexpectedly, this prediction made by a native of the area turned out to be exactly the same as what happened later.

Yun Jin had to admit that this person was quite capable.

When Lin Wenfang mentioned her plan to buy property in Hong Kong, Dai Yaozong was very supportive: "If you have time, you can go and take a look at a few properties another day. Several properties have been developed in Hong Kong recently, including one from our Dai family. If you like it, you can choose a good floor and orientation. Don't worry about the price; we'll give you a cost price."

The price made Yun Jin's heart flutter: "Okay, I have time."

He Tingchuan: "..."

I'm going back the day after tomorrow!

Honey, you won't abandon me, will you?

Yun Jin thought so. That night, she held He Tingchuan in her arms and talked to him about her future plans: "Now is the best time to buy in the Hong Kong real estate market. Even if you don't live there in the future, you can sell it. It's better to invest than keep the money in the bank."

He Tingchuan remained silent.

Yun Jin nudged him: "You go back first the day after tomorrow. I'll settle on a house first, then bring Nian Gao back to Beijing. Is that arrangement okay?"

"Can I say no?" He Tingchuan asked, somewhat reluctantly.

Yun Jin gave her a kiss in a flattering way: "Is this okay?"

He Tingchuan didn't buy it.

Seeing that the man was so difficult to appease, Yun Jin had no choice but to continue trying to coax him.
