"I will not let her be spoilt."

"…"

That's because she is already on the verge of being spoilt rotten. Well, she wouldn't let that happen.

When he was done dressing up, the couple went to get their daughter. Little Jia was playing with her toys in her room.

"Happy birthday!" Wan Jia and Lu Aotian said.

The little girl's eyes were bright when she looked at them. "Mommy, Daddy! Little Jia is finally four!" she rushed up to them for a hug.

"Baby, the party will be in the afternoon. Mommy and Daddy are going for a short walk around the island, okay?" Wan Jia said.

Little Jia wanted to ask if she could go along but she changed her mind. She knew of someone who she was better off going out with. "Okay, take care of yourselves, Mommy and Daddy. Little Jia will be a good girl."

Wan Jia looked at her with a raised eyebrow. Why did that sound like something a child would say when they were just about to do something naughty?

Lu Aotian was not worried about her. He had his men watching over her all the time. She wouldn't get herself into danger.

As soon as her parents left, the little girl rushed along the corridor to Tangtang's room. Since Xu Lingxi was still too little, Kara had stayed to take care of her. Only Xu Liaowen and Tangtang would be attending Little Jia's birthday from the Xu family. The Little boy had insisted on spending the night in the Island Villa so he would be near his little friend.

"Tangtang, are you awake?" Little Jia knocked on the door.

"Uh huh. Come in."

Little Jia pushed the door clumsily. The little boy was not looking too bright. "Are you feeling sad?"

Tangtang nodded slightly. "I miss Small Xixi."

Little Jia suddenly felt sad. She missed the baby too. However, she couldn't be sad on her birthday. She went next to Tangtang and pulled his hand. "Let's go for a short walk around the island!"

It was a warm morning. Tangtang thought it was a good idea too. "Okay. I will just change into something comfortable."

A few minutes later, the pair of kids ran out with their little hands entwined. The environment looked so bright and beautiful that Tangtang was no longer sad about missing his little sister.

Little Jia had only been to an island once before. She looked around her, almost not blinking from all the beauty.

"Little Jia, can we really walk around on our own? We should have asked Uncle Shaoting to walk us around."

Apparently, the both of them had gotten so used to Lu Shaoting taking them out for fun that they had learnt to associate such activities with him.

"But Uncle Shaoting was so tired last night. We should let him rest." Little Jia said in a regrettable tone.

"Then we shouldn't go too far. We could get lost."

Little Jia thought it was possible too. This island looked very big. What if they really got lost and their parents couldn't find them? They would be very worried.

"Okay, we will only go nearby."

A few steps away from them, a bodyguard made a phone call. "Master, Little Miss seems to be going for a walk with Young Master Xu."

"Take care of them."

…

Ahead of him, the kids took turns running after each other.

"Tangtang, I am tired. We should build one sandcastle and then go back."

"Uh huh." He was tired too, so he sat down in the sand.

Little Jia looked into the distance. She frowned when she saw a familiar man walking in the distance, holding a woman's hand. She patted her little friend to show him. "That uncle over there…is that my second uncle?"

Tangtang looked over and was surprised too. "That does look like Uncle Shaoting. Who is the aunty beside him?"

"I don't know either. Do you think we should ask him?" Su Ling had stayed in the hotel too. Little Jia had not had a chance to meet her.

"Let's just build our sand castles. I'm too tired to walk."

In the distance, Lu Shaoting was holding hands with Su Ling. In the past few weeks, their relationship had improved. They were now officially dating. They had been dating for only a week now.

He suddenly leaned in for a kiss. Su ling moved away in embarrassment. "Shaoting, we are in public. Can you not do such things?"

Lu Shaoting pulled her back next to him by her hand. "Do you see anyone around?"

Well, there was no one in front of them but there could be someone behind, or even some kids in the distance. "How can you be so sure that there is absolutely no one around? It's not like they would shout out for you to hear."

"As long as they are not children, they should mind their own business." He was expressionless.

"What if there are children?"

"The kids are in the house."

"Their rooms have windows, you know."

"Are you finding excuses to evade my kiss?"

Su Ling gave up and let him kiss her.

"Is that your brother and my boss over there?"

Well, it seemed like this morning, they were not the only ones who had gone for a walk.

From Xu Liaowen's hotel room window, he could clearly see the people "taking walks" in pairs.

He wanted to take his phone to complain to Kara. My wife, they are all walking in pairs and displaying their affection. They are bullying me because you are not here. Even our son has joined them in bullying me.
