Alright.

Because of the proliferation of smartphones.

Now there's gradually a trend of turning things upside down.

Elementary school students are becoming more mature.

College students are getting more childish.

Don't be fooled by Xiao Nuomi being only eleven; she actually understands everything.

While Yang Mi was in the kitchen preparing dinner, Xiao Nuomi secretly asked Sun Dasheng, "Are you my stepdad?"

Sun Dasheng: "..."

With her hands behind her back, pretending to be an adult, Xiao Nuomi sized up Sun Dasheng back and forth:

"Don't be nervous, I'm quite satisfied with you. At least in terms of appearance, you pass in my book, maybe even excel."

"Are you a celebrity like my mom?"

"Why do you say that?" Sun Dasheng looked at her curiously and asked.

"Because people as handsome as you are basically all celebrities." Xiao Nuomi said naturally.

It would be a pity not to be a star with such good looks, wouldn't it?

She truly is Yang Mi's daughter.

Has a deep understanding of the celebrity profession.

"You guessed wrong, I'm not." Sun Dasheng gave a negative answer.

Xiao Nuomi pouted, feeling a bit frustrated: "Then what do you do for a living?"

"Guess?" Sun Dasheng wanted to playfully tease this little girl pretending to be an adult in front of him.

Xiao Nuomi seemed to have guessed the truth, and with a sly smile, she said: "Could it be... you're a kept man?"

Sun Dasheng: "6"

Being considered a kept man is quite annoying on one hand, suggesting you enjoy the easy life and shortcuts; but on the other hand, it kind of flatters you, implying you have qualities others lack. As for what these 'qualities' are, that's a matter of opinion.

...

"What are you two talking about, so happily?" Yang Mi came into the dining room carrying a dish, smiling at the harmonious pair, feeling very pleased.

Her biggest fear was that her daughter wouldn't accept him.

She really wouldn't know what to do then.

The current scene was the best she could imagine.

The family of three joyfully finished dinner.

Xiao Nuomi obediently returned to her room to do homework.

Yang Mi mentioned that she would soon be advancing from elementary school to junior high, which meant her schoolwork was quite demanding.

So she had homework every night that needed to be handed in the next day.

Xiao Nuomi's homework had to be submitted the next day, but Sun Dasheng's homework had to be submitted that night and couldn't be refused, because the teacher was really anxious.

They said his grades weren't ideal and he needed good tutoring.

Sun Dasheng scoffed at Mr Yang's statement.

Humph!

You don't know how outstanding I am at turning in assignments at night, certified by many excellent teachers.

Not something Mr Yang can disparage here.

Thus, a homework defense battle began in the room.

The noise was quite loud, but because the room was well soundproofed, nothing could be detected outside.

Truly, you get what you pay for.

The next day.

Xiao Nuomi was taken to school by Sun Dasheng.

This was Yang Mi's idea, for the reason: "Cultivate the bond between you two as father and daughter."

The reason was legitimate, so Sun Dasheng couldn't refuse.

Xiao Nuomi attends a private international elementary school, where it's said the tuition is over a million a year.

Basically, it's all rich kids.

Judging from the uniform luxury cars at the school gate.

Sun Dasheng's Rolls-Royce didn't attract any attention here.

"Bye-bye, Uncle Sun." Xiao Nuomi seemed quite satisfied with her stepdad and waved goodbye with a smile.

Sun Dasheng also had a good impression of this daughter.

Regarding Yang Mi's skills in acting, he made no comment.

But her skills in raising and educating her daughter were indeed commendable.

At least to him, besides being a bit precocious, there were no other flaws.

She didn't have any of the typical rich-kid syndromes.

It was quite comfortable to get along with her.

That's thanks to Yang Mi's effort.

....

In the countryside.

With willows green and lush.

A couple was holding hands and strolling along the shaded path by the river.

"You really are quite charming."

"Why do you say that?"

"In less than a week, you managed to completely charm that little girl at my house, who secretly told me she wanted Uncle Sun to live at our home so we could see you every day."

"And what did you say?"

"Of course, I said no. I told her that Uncle Sun has his own job to do, how could he live with us?"

When Yang Mi said these words, she stared directly at Sun Dasheng.

Sun Dasheng instantly understood.

In reality, she was being contradictory.

She also wanted him to live at home.

But she didn't dare say it; instead, she used her daughter's mouth to voice it.

However, it wasn't feasible.

How could he tie himself to just one tree?

Giving up a whole forest for one tree would be truly foolish.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Yang Mi's eyes dimmed, but she quickly adjusted her mindset.

She kind of knew this would be the outcome.

She was just unwilling to give up and wanted to give it another try.

The current outcome wasn't worse.

After some walking.

Sun Dasheng was worried she might get tired since she was expecting.

They found a place to sit and rest.

Slowly, they started discussing work matters.

Besides being a devoted mother, Yang Mi's other identity was that of a workaholic.

She was still planning her career.

"I gave up so much work for the baby in my belly, you need to compensate me."

Yang Mi acted spoiled, and Sun Dasheng surrendered.

"I will, definitely."

"Don't just promise me with empty words, I want real things." Yang Mi wasn't one of those naïve girls in the industry; she knew only what she could actually have mattered.
