Before the sports meeting, Su Ruowan sent a message to Helian Chen on WeChat. “Helian, don’t forget the parent-child sports meeting this Saturday!”

Quickly, he replied, “Noted! See you then.”

“Thank you, Helian!” Su Ruowan texted back. 

Helian Chen said, “Don’t mention it. Aren’t we good friends? Besides, I’m Jiu Jiu’s Godfather.”

Su Ruowan typed, “You’re the friend for which I’m most grateful! See you tomorrow.”

Helian Chen replied, “See you.”

Three years ago, Su Ruowan had taken her daughter back to D City and met Helian Chen by chance. 

The man was nearly ten years older than her. Therefore, in her eyes, Helian Chen was mature and reliable like an older brother. 

He also had never asked her about her pregnancy or the baby’s father. Instead, he helped her keep everything a secret. Later, he publicly recognized Jiu Jiu as his goddaughter and didn’t shy away from acting as such. Over time, Su Ruowan and Helian Chen formed a strong bond with each other. No one ever doubted the nature of their relationship until Fang Yansha saw them together. Although Su Ruowan had repeatedly said that she and Helian Chen were just good friends, Fang Yansha couldn’t stop accusing her of seducing her two sons one after another. 

Thus, Su Ruowan decided not to contact Helian Chen anymore. However, Jiu Jiu was very attached to him. 

In a well-known store in the center of D City, Jing Muchen and Jing Yanxi were choosing parent-child outfits together. 

While Jing Muchen looked through some clothes, Jing Yanxi secretly pulled out his phone and sent a voice message to Su Ruowan. “Beautiful sister, what color is your outfit for tomorrow?”

“We’ll wear purple tomorrow, Yan Yan,” she replied. 

Raising his head, Jing Yanxi glanced at the tall figure who was trying on a black polo shirt and said, “Uncle Muchen, I don’t want to wear black. It’s so hot… How about we wear purple instead?”

Jing Muchen stopped for a moment. What the boy said made sense. Still, he frowned slightly. “Purple is not a boy’s color.”

As the man walked to the clothes rack, he let his slender fingers slide from left to right until he picked up a shirt. “Well, then white!”

Despite Jing Yanxi’s protests, Jing Muchen swiped his credit card and bought two white shirts. 

The boy followed the man dejectedly as he said angrily, “Uncle Muchen, you’re a tyrant! You never listen to me.”

In a dark gray suit and sunglasses, Jing Muchen walked fast and steady with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a shopping bag. His elegant and unrestrained manner attracted many looks from the women passing by. 

As he heard Jing Yanxi’s complaint, the corners of his lips raised slightly, making him look less harsh than he normally seemed. He stopped in his tracks and asked the boy, “Where did you learn that?”

Jing Yanxi shook his head and asked proudly, “Does that ugly woman know you’re such a tyrant? Do your fan girls know?”

Jing Muchen was rendered speechless. 

Then Jing Yanxi began to speak about his loved one. “Uncle Muchen, tomorrow you’ll meet the girl of my dreams. She’s much more attractive than that ugly woman you date! To me, she’s the most beautiful and gentle goddess in the world! I have no doubt that, deep down, she also thinks I’m the most handsome man she has ever laid her eyes on.”

Pursing his lips, Jing Muchen shook his head and rubbed the boy’s hair gently before they continued to walk. 

Some other day, he would have to remind Li Muchen not to let Yan Yan watch those cheesy soap operas anymore. It was too much to handle a four-year-old boy who talked like a grown-up. 

On the day of the sports meeting, Su Ruowan woke up early in the morning. 

After breakfast, she and Jiu Jiu dressed up in their purple outfits and duck patterned caps before heading to Jin Daishu Kindergarten. 

As soon as they got to the school gate, they saw Helian Chen’s car parked nearby. The man was dressed in a shirt and jeans and had a pair of golden-framed glasses on his fair face. His good looks and gentle manners attracted the attention of many female teachers who stood watching him. 

“Ruowan!” Helian Chen grinned, baring his white teeth as he walked towards her. 

Instantly, Su Ruowan thought she could hear the sound of the female teachers’ hearts breaking. 

“Daddy Helian!” After a long time without seeing him, Jiu Jiu was so happy to have him there that she stretched out her hands and rushed over to him. 

“Helian!” Su Ruowan handed him the bag with his outfit. “Would you mind changing your clothes to match ours?”

“Oh! So you got me a matching outfit too?” Putting Jiu Jiu down, he took the bag. “I must change then! Wait a minute.” The next moment, he turned around and walked towards the bathroom. 

At this time, the kindergarten’s principal announced through the loudspeaker, “Parents and kids, the sports meeting will be held at 10 o’clock sharp. Please take your children to the playground…”

“Wow! Who’s that handsome?”

“Is he a star?”

“He’s so stylish. Look at his figure!”

All of a sudden, the broadcast was drowned out by an unexpected commotion near the gate. Su Ruowan turned to look at it, but what she saw caught her off guard. 

Getting out of the black Cayenne, there was Jing Muchen in blue jeans and a white polo shirt. Although his big sunglasses covered most of his face, his extraordinary aura, tall figure, and pursed thin lips made it impossible for Su Ruowan not to recognize him at first sight. 

Before she came to her senses, the man carried Jing Yanxi out of the car. The little boy was dressed just like him. 

As soon as he was put down on the ground, Yan Yan raised his eyes and spotted Su Ruowan in a refreshing outfit.. Immediately, he ran towards her, pulling Jing Muchen as he shouted excitedly, “Beautiful sister, I’m coming!”
