Thunder: "Let's donate money too, let's spread love to the world."
Anning: "Thunder, I've thought of a better way than donating money."
Thunder: "What?"
Anning: "You inspired me. Our family has Lei's Congee House in China. I want to open a charity bakery on the border of North Patriotism. However, there are many procedures to open a charity abroad. I am not a citizen of North Patriotism, so I can say that I can't realize any other ideas except donations."
Thunder: "I also have the status of a baron. I can use this status to open a bakery in the name of the royal family and to start a charity in the name of the royal family. The employees can be from baking schools, and I can supply half of the ingredients."
An Ning: "Wow, how come I didn't think of that? Thunder, you're amazing!"
Lei Ting: "I called Liao Qian and told him about this, asking him to help me."
An Ning: "Okay."
Lei Ting called Liao Qian to tell him about An Ning's good intentions. Liao Qian also thought it was a good thing, as it both upheld the dignity of the royal family and allowed them to do some good deeds. Liao Qian would find an opportunity to talk to Gals about it at the charity gala. After hanging up the phone, An Ning had a slight smile on her face.
Thunder: "Alright, my baby, cheer up. Flowers that bloom in hardship are especially beautiful."
Anning: "I feel sorry for those children who were displaced in the war. They did nothing wrong but lost their homes and became victims of power struggles."
Thunder: "I don't know what to say. I feel sorry for them too. Everyone is born with a different mission and has to endure different kinds of pain."
Anning: "Okay, I'd like to feel the breeze along the Thames River as I walk home."
Thunder: "Okay, I'll go with you."
The driver dropped them off by the Thames River. Anning sat on a bench, gazing at the distant archipelago where flags were raised. Taking a deep breath, she said regretfully to Leiting, “When we visited the archipelago, we passed a tiny island nation. In the blink of an eye, the flag on the island had changed. I witnessed many people jumping into the sea to follow their country. I could only watch, unable to do anything. The archipelago, only a few hundred miles away, is a completely different story. The people there live in peace and prosperity, their faces beaming with smiles. There are people diving and surfing. I was happy then too, but I felt that behind this joy lay endless ruins, tinged with a sense of desolation.”
Thunder: "Our country was also reborn from the ashes of war. Our country is now very prosperous and we are not afraid of any war."
Anning: "Bei Aiguo has signed ten-year peace agreements with several large countries around it. Now more and more countries are signing peace agreements, but why is there still war and displaced people?"
Thunder: "I don't know how to answer that. Fortunately, there's no war right now."
An Ning: "No, the most terrifying war is the one without gunfire. Sigh, I guess I'm being a bit of a worrier."
Thunder: "Let's take a walk and feel the river breeze..."
Thunder escorted Anning along the banks of the Thames, where many people were kissing. As they neared the courtyard gate, Anning spotted a particularly adorable little girl ahead, her red bun bouncing around. Thunder looked closer at the little girl; it was Rabelle, Lucy, and Joyce, lost in their passionate kiss by the railing.
Thunder: "Why are these two so protective of the child?"
Anning: "The Northern Irish royal family's nobles will not be lost anywhere in the world. As long as they are alive and living in populated areas, the royal family can find them."
Before Lei Ting and An Ning even reached them, Rabelle saw them. An Ning opened her arms and Rabelle ran over and into An Ning's embrace.
An Ning: "Haha, little guy, do you recognize me?"
Rabelle: "I've seen you in my mother's paintings."
Anning: "Your mother drew a wedding portrait for me and called me Aunt Anning."
Rabelle: "Okay, Aunt Anning's husband is really handsome."
Thunder: "Haha, let Uncle Thunder give you a hug, and Uncle will take you to eat ice cream."
Rabelle: "Okay."
Thunder carried Rabelle and led Anning to the pastry shop, where he bought Rabelle an ice cream. Lucy and Joyce didn't notice that Thunder had already taken Rabelle away. Thunder watched them through the glass window, wondering when those two lovebirds would realize their child was missing.
Anning: "Rabelle, have some ice cream."
Rabelle: "Thank you, Aunt Anning."
Rabelle is so cute eating ice cream with a spoon! Her chubby little face and adorable big eyes are simply melting Anning and Leiting's hearts.
Anning: "Wow, Rabelle, you're so cute."
Thunder: "Rabelle, we really like you. Would you like to come visit us in the backyard sometime?"
Rabelle: "The courtyard? No."
Anning: "Why? Why don't you want to come to the courtyard?"
Rabelle: "I have a suitor living in the courtyard, but I don't like him; he's too annoying."
Anning: "Huh? You're not even three years old yet, and you already have suitors? Hahaha..."
Rabelle: "I have a lot of suitors around me, from all over the world, which is very annoying."
Thunder: "Haha, I understand your worries, sweetie. What kind of boyfriend do you want?"
Rabelle: "A dashing and heroic Eastern man like you."
An Ning: "Haha, then I'll let you have him, okay?"
Rabelle: "No good."
Thunder: "Why? Didn't you say you liked me?"
Rabelle: "You're too old. I might consider your son."
Thunder: "Hahaha, hahaha... hahaha..."
