In the nursery filled with childlike designs.
The soft autumn sunlight warmly fell on the beige crib not far from the window. Ming Jinxin picked up the exquisite red gift box placed by her stepdaughter beside her son’s pillow and asked her:
"What is this?"
"It’s a gift from a good friend for Yuyu."
The girl, dressed in soft loungewear and exuding a faint fragrance of body wash and shampoo, was gently holding the little baby and walking back and forth in the room.
In her clear eyes, affection was evident.
Her whole being was full of tranquility and harmony.
"A gift from your friend for Yuyu?" Ming Jinxin was stunned.
"Yes, when Yiyi was born, he also sent one, and before Yuyu was born, he went to the United States, but the gift was already prepared, so I brought it this ti."
"Your friend is thoughtful." Ming Jinxin slowly opened the red brocade box, inside were two auspicious locks, one silver and one gold, quite heavy.
"Just like the one for Yiyi." The girl chuckled, "He didn’t know if Auntie was having a boy or a girl, so he prepared two gifts, one is this, and the other is a jade bracelet suitable for girls. Since our Yuyu is a little boy, the bracelet beca mine."
Ming Jinxin burst into laughter, her eyes filled with uncontainable joy, "We really like this gift, please thank your friend for . When he returns from the United States, introduce him to Auntie when you have ti, and I’ll take Yuyu to thank him personally."
Whether the gift is valuable or not is secondary, the main thing is that the child is thoughtful.
More importantly, the stepdaughter is thoughtful.
...
At dinner, their newly ford family sat together, and Ming Jinxin specifically showed Ning Yi the gift they received today.
"This is a gift from Youyou’s friend for our Yuyu, look, isn’t it beautiful?"
"Is it from that kid Shi family?" Ning Yi didn’t even need to look to know who sent it.
"Yes." Ning Youguang, who was eating, nodded and took the opportunity to boost the child’s goodwill, "He said, what Yiyi has, Yuyu must have too."
With this, Ming Jinxin’s eyes smiled into crescents.
Ning Yi also laughed, "That kid seems cool, but he’s actually thoughtful."
Beside them, Ming Chao turned to look at the girl next to him, seeing her genuine smile, he couldn’t help a faint, indescribable feeling welling up in his heart.
...
On the day of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences’ freshman orientation.
Ning Yi insisted on personally taking his daughter to school, even though his assistant, Ming Jinxin, and Ning Youguang gently advised him not to.
In the morning, just before leaving.
Ning Yi suddenly said he wanted to change his clothes.
Ning Youguang sat on the sofa waiting, unexpectedly waiting for more than half an hour, and the person changing clothes hadn’t co downstairs.
Seeing her stepdaughter almost furrowing her brow, Ming Jinxin laughed and said, "Your dad definitely wants to dress up a bit, after all, opportunities like this are rare."
Recalling her husband’s excitent before bed last night, she found it amusing yet once again felt his concern for his stepdaughter.
Ning Youguang softly sighed and continued to wait, but after more than ten minutes, what she awaited was exceedingly speechless.
Only to see soone slowly walking down the stairs, dressed in a sharp tailored black suit, wearing new high-end custom-crafted Italian leather shoes, eyes shielded by enormous black sunglasses, hair perfectly styled as if about to walk the red carpet—Ning Yi.
Even prepared as she was, Ming Jinxin was still taken aback by her husband’s lavish appearance.
"So, how is it, does this look decent?" The person, pleased with himself, spun around in front of them and tidied up his pristine tie.
"..." Ning Youguang.
"..." Ming Jinxin.
Not receiving the anticipated praise for his ticulously prepared outfit, Ning Yi frowned, "What’s wrong? Is sothing off? Are the shoes didn’t match, or is the tie color wrong? Should I send a video to the stylist for advice on how to pair it better?"
Ning Youguang let out a long sigh, "Dad, are you trying to announce to everyone at school that Director Ning is bringing to school today?"
Ning Yi imagined being surrounded and fild by nurous caras and phones, his expression darkened, "Annoying."
After speaking, he then smugly pulled a black mask out of his suit pocket, the custom fashionable type, adorned with small sparkling golden stars, "I have this."
It was particularly eye-catching and stylish.
Ning Youguang looked utterly exasperated, "If you co to our school like this, you’ll be mobbed as soon as you get out of the car, believe it or not?"
Ning Yi paused and turned to his wife.
Ming Jinxin pursed her lips and smiled, "Go change into sothing more casual, this is too formal, also too attention-grabbing, no parent taking their child to the start of a school term dresses like this."
Unwillingly, Ning Yi went upstairs to change into casual trendy clothes and another pair of sunglasses.
Still striking, but much more normal.
...
The luxurious business car arrived at the front gate of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Ning Yi saw the impressive characters "University of Chinese Academy of Sciences" at the school gate through the car window, couldn’t help taking out his phone to shoot short videos, and capture photos to post on WeChat Monts.
