"Let's use this side, it's the shortcut. We just need to walk twenty steps before we reach the Mansion," Yifeng spoke. Yang Zi turned and stared at him in awe.

"If the path at the backyard is closer to the Mansion than the one we took yesterday, then why did you choose the long way instead of the shortcut?" Yang Zi asked inquisitively.

​​

"You are good at guessing, so why don't you guess why I did that?" Yifeng challenged as he walked towards the back of the building. Yang Zi pursued him.

"Are you seriously jealous of our kids?" Yang Zi asked teasingly when they reached the Mansion.

"Why won't I be when you love them more than you love me?" Yifeng said. "As much as they need your love, I also need your love too. In fact, I need your love more than they do," Yifeng said, staring at her.

"They are just our kids and you are jealous of them, so tell me how will you cope if I hang out with men? Don't tell me you will beat them up just because I hang out with them?" Yang Zi asked curiously.

"Beating them up is not a bad idea if they dare covet my woman," Yifeng said proudly.

"You need to change your attitude. With how beautiful and capable your wife is, I won't be surprised if you sleep in the police station every day because of your jealousy," Yang Zi said seriously. She walked towards the exit afterwards.

Fifteen minutes into their journey, Yang Zi brought up a new topic.

"I noticed earlier that you ran out of groceries, I was thinking we should go for grocery shopping in the supermarket," Yang Zi said meekly, her gaze focused on Yifeng, who was driving.

"Ok, we will do just that," Yifeng replied care-freely, his gaze on the busy road.

"Mi Er normally accompanies me out for grocery shopping. She will be very upset when she learns that I went for grocery shopping without her," Yang Zi said.

"She loves shopping with me so much. Mi Er said, going out for shopping with me always makes her happy. We get to spend quality time together," Yang Zi said, smiling when she recalled how happy Yang Mi always is whenever they go for shopping.

"You will spend quality time with her like you normally did because when you were fast asleep earlier, I called Yuan Quan and told him to bring them to MV supermarket. They should have arrived there," Yifeng said, his gaze still on the road. He wished he could turn around and stare at her, but with how busy the road was, he couldn't.

How did he know that I was gonna suggest that we go out for shopping? How did he also guess that I would love to shop with the kids?

Yang Zi thought, throwing Yifeng a suspicious glare.

"We are also gonna shop for clothes and shoes afterwards," Yifeng said, smiling.

"Thank you for this. This is my first time going out for shopping with Chen. It means a lot to me," Yang Zi said, hugging him as he drove.

"Seeing you happy makes me happy, so I should thank you for making me happy," Yifeng said, as he momentarily stole a quick glance at her. They kept on talking until they reached the parking lounge of MV supermarket.

MV supermarket, a very enormous building where varieties of foodstuffs are sold. It is the biggest supermarket in Queen City.

"Feng, I can't find our kids. Do you think they have already gone inside?" Yang Zi asked, as she scrutinized the parking space for the third time in search of Yang Mi and Li Chen.

"Don't worry about them. You won't be the one to find them but they will be the one to find....," Yifeng did not finish talking before they saw Yang Mi racing towards them in excitement.

"Mum...," Yang Mi screamed in excitement, hopping onto Yang Zi's body.

"Good afternoon, Mum and Brother Feng," Yang Mi said, trying to catch her breath.

"How are you, my baby?" Yang Zi and Yifeng chorused. They both turned and stared at each other when they realized that they both said the same thing.

"I am fine," Yang Mi said, giggling.

"I missed you so much, mum. I wanted to call you last night but mummy stopped me saying that the both of you were busy during that time," Yang Mi said innocently. A dry cough escaped from Yang Zi's mouth, understanding what her mum meant by they were busy.

"Mum, why are you blushing so hard?" Yang Mi asked curiously, as she took turns in staring at blushing Yang Zi and Yifeng.

"What are you saying Mi Er? Mum is not blushing," Yang Zi quickly denied.

"But you are! Your face is so red. Is it because I said mummy said you and Brother Feng were busy last night?" Yang Mi asked ignorantly. Yifeng chuckled when he saw Yang Zi fanning her blushed face with her right hand. He wished Mi Er was not there, he would have teased her until he got satisfied.

"I... I...," Yang Zi could not find any excuse to give as to why her face suddenly turned red when Yang Mi mentioned about them being busy last night.

"Mi Er, your mum is having naughty thoughts that is why her face is red. Let me carry you or she might unconsciously drop you down," Yifeng smiled naughtily, as he stretched his hands and collected Yang Mi from her.

"Having naughty thoughts?" Yang Mi asked in confusion. "Brother Feng, what does it mean to have naughty thoughts...?" Yang Zi's dry cough prevented Yang Mi from speaking further.

"Mi Er have pity on mum and stop asking questions or she might die from embarrassment," Yifeng teased, his smile becoming more visible.

"You both are ganging up on me. It's not fair," Yang Zi said, faking a painful expression.

"Mi Er, where is Chen?" Yang Zi asked curiously, as she stared at the direction Yang Mi came from earlier.

"Oh, here he comes. I know Chen would have defended me from the both of you if he was here," Yang Zi said, as she went to meet Chen.

"Even though he was here, you know he can't win the two of us," Yifeng said proudly, as he followed Yang Zi instantly. Yang Zi pretended as though she did not hear his last sentence.

"Hi, Chen, how are you feeling now? I hope Mi Er took perfect care of you in our absence last night?" Yang Zi asked, hugging him.

"I feel much better today. Mi Er took good care of me. I guess the major reason she did that was because of the praises and reward you and brother Feng promised her," Chen replied, responding to Yang Zi's hug. He pulled out of her embrace soon.

"Although I was looking forward to receiving lots of praises and rewards from you and brother Feng, the major reason I took optimum care of him is because I love him. I want him to get better quickly," Yang Mi spoke adorably.

"But you repeatedly told me you wanted Sister Zi Er to praise....,"

"Shh... You can't talk while your elders are talking!" Yang Mi quickly cut him short before he could complete his sentence.

"Your time as my elder sister is up, so stop putting on the act. I won't listen to you with Sister Zi Er around," Chen spoke up firmly.

"You guys are at it again. Maybe it was a bad idea for me to have told Yuan Quan to bring both of you here," Yifeng said, acting as though he was unhappy with all their bickering.

"Sorry, we will behave properly," they both chorused at the same time.

"Mi Er, you did an excellent job by taking care of your sick brother. I am so proud of you, my baby," Yang Zi said, as she patted her hair.

"Chen, I know how hard it must have been to put up with your little sister's bossy attitude. I am proud of you too for bearing with her," Yang Zi said. She hugged Chen instead of patting his hair since he hates being treated like a baby.

"The both of you deserve a big present for not disrupting the important date your mum and I had. Tell me what you want and I will buy it for you," Yifeng said seriously.

"Hmm....," Yang Mi thought aloud as she tried to think of what to ask of him.

"Mi Er, remember what I have always taught you when...,"

"Let her ask whatever she wants. Don't scold her today, Ok?" Yifeng said, knowing too well what Yang Zi wanted to tell the little girl.

"Brother Feng, I want you to make a family painting of me, you, mum, Chen Chen, Grandpa and mummy just like the one you made for mum on her birthday. A happy family painting is what I want," Yang Mi said, beaming.

Her request stunned, Yifeng, Yang Zi and the quiet Yuan Quan. People who didn't know the meaning behind her request would have thought that little Mi Er was speaking gibberish not knowing that Yang Mi's request meant that Yang Zi and Yifeng should get married.

"If that is what you want, that is exactly what I and your mum will give to you," Yifeng said, patting her back. He felt so proud of his naughty but brilliant soon-to-be daughter.

"What about you, Chen? What do you want as your gift?" Yifeng asked, his attention now on Chen.
