“Hello, boss!” Just after taking a shower, Da Wu heard his phone ring and quickly picked it up.
“Da Wu, haven’t you rested yet?”
“No, boss. I’ve just wrapped up work. Just a few minor tasks related to research today.”
“Alright, tomorrow, come pick me up at Belle-Laire Hotel in a business car.”
“Boss, are you in Peng City? Got it. I’ll be there early tomorrow!”
“Okay, that’s it then. Get some rest.” After saying this, Zhou Chao hung up the phone, prepared to take a shower, and then go to bed. Tomorrow might be physically demanding.
A night passed without further ado...
The next morning, Da Wu arrived at Belle-Laire Hotel’s parking lot driving an Alfa Romeo. It was already 8:30 in the morning. He took out his phone and called Zhou Chao.
“I’m downstairs.” Zhou Chao, who was about to leave, saw that Da Wu was calling and answered before making his way out of the hotel.
“Boss!” Da Wu saw Zhou Chao approaching and quickly opened the back door of the car.
“Let’s go. First, let’s head to Qiaoxiang Village.” Upon hearing this, Dawu started the car, and they headed towards Qiaoxiang Village.
After about 40 minutes, Da Wu arrived at Qiaoxiang Village. Zhou Chao got out of the car and followed the route from yesterday, heading upstairs.
“Ring.”
“Coming.” Zhou Chao pressed the doorbell of Little Mango’s home, and soon he heard Wang Wei’s voice from inside.
“Click.” The door opened, revealing a small head poking out.
“Big Brother, you’re here! Little Mango is all ready. Let’s go.” As soon as she saw Zhou Chao, Little Mango rushed out.
“Aunt Wang, I’ll take Little Mango out to play!” Zhou Chao held Little Mango and said to Aunt Wang, who was standing by the door.
“Alright, go ahead. Be careful when you’re out there.” Aunt Wang reminded them with concern.
“Don’t worry, Aunt Wang. We’re leaving. Little Mango, say goodbye to Mommy.”
“Goodbye, Mommy.” Little Mango, in her sweet voice, waved goodbye to her mother. Zhou Chao then carried her and turned towards the elevator.
“Let’s go, Little Mango. We’re heading to Happy Valley. How does that sound?” Zhou Chao led Little Mango out of the elevator, softly asking her.
“Great, Brother. 1 want to ride the merry-go-round! Hehe.” Zhou Chao saw the innocent and joyful smile on Little Mango’s face and felt much more at ease.
“Let’s go. Get in the car!” Zhou Chao opened the back door and lifted Little Mango inside.
“Let’s go!” The Alfa Romeo drove out of Qiaoxiang Village, heading towards Happy Valley.
Happy Valley was less than 5 kilometers away from Qiaoxiang Village, and it took them around 10 minutes to reach the entrance.
“We’re here, Little Mango. Let’s get out of the car.”
“Wow, we’re at Happy Valley!” Little Mango hopped out of the car, and Zhou Chao quickly caught her.
“Be careful. What if you fall?”
“I know, Brother!” Little Mango’s young face blushed with excitement.
After Da Wu parked the car, he went to buy three tickets and Zhou Chao took Little Mango into Happy Valley. The December weather in Peng City wasn’t too cold, and the sun was shining brightly.
“Little Mango, how about we start by taking a ride on the park train?” Look, there’s a red train moving slowly ahead.
“Sure, Brother! Let’s ride on the park train!” Zhou Chao noticed Little Mango’s eyes following the train’s movement, and he couldn’t help but smile.
“Alright, let’s go. We’re heading for the park train!” Zhou Chao held Little Mango’s hand and went to purchase the train tickets. It cost them a total of 90 yuan.
“Woo, woo!”
“Brother, the park train is here! Come and look!” Little Mango poked her head out, excitedly pointing at the train slowly pulling into the station.
Perhaps because it wasn’t the weekend, there weren’t too many people visiting today, so there were plenty of seats on the park train.
“Let’s go, Little Mango. We’re getting on the park train!” Saying this, Zhou Chao lifted Little Mango onto the train. Once they were seated, Little Mango looked around with curiosity, finding everything so fascinating.
“Woo, woo, clank, clank, clank!”
“Yay, the mini train is moving!” Zhou Chao and Da Wu sat on either side, while Little Mango sat in the middle, watching the mini train start moving with great excitement.
The mini train slowly moved forward, and Little Mango gazed around like she had discovered a new world. Her eyes darted from side to side, passing through floral walls, going past roller coasters, and crossing water worlds. Throughout the journey, her excitement never waned, and her face remained lit up with a joyful smile.
“Woo woo!”
“The mini train has reached its destination!” After circling Happy Valley for a full round, the mini train ride took about 40 minutes.
“Did you have fun?” Zhou Chao asked while holding Little Mango’s hand, his voice soft.
“It was fun!” Little Mango’s youthful and innocent voice echoed. She appeared a tad less energetic now, perhaps because of the exhilarating ride earlier. Zhou Chao crouched down and scooped her into his arms. n--OVElb1n
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to enjoy some delicious food!” Zhou Chao spotted the magical castle not far away, and next to it was a cotton candy cart. Holding Little Mango, he walked towards it.
“Little Mango, would you like some cotton candy?” Little Mango’s eyes locked onto the cotton candy as she swallowed saliva, then turned her head back.
“Mommy said kids shouldn’t eat candy because it can harm their teeth. Little Mango doesn’t want to have bad teeth!” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but chuckle at the adorable pouting expression on Little Mango’s face.
“Little Mango, let me tell you, it’s alright to have just a little bit. Do you want some?”
“I want. Little Mango wants to eat cotton candy!” Without hesitation, Zhou Chao bought her a cotton candy. It was unusually large, even bigger than Little Mango’s head.
Zhou Chao led Little Mango into the magical castle. They strolled around for a while, and although Little Mango finished her cotton candy, she didn’t participate in any of the castle’s attractions. Zhou Chao had no choice but to lead her towards the next amusement.
“Brother, look, look! The merry-go-round!” Shortly after leaving the magical castle, Little Mango spotted the merry-go-round not far away. Her eyes were fixed on Zhou Chao, conveying her wishes clearly.
“Sure, let’s go. We’ll ride the merry-go-round.” Zhou Chao lifted Little Mango into his arms and headed toward the merry-go-round. It seemed that the merry-go-round had a mysterious appeal to young girls.
Without hesitation, Da Wu quickly bought three tickets himself. No need for explanations, just understand that even Da Wu wanted to be part of the excitement!
“Yo-yo, mighty stallion. Brother, I want to ride the white horse.” Zhou Chao pointed at a magnificent white horse nearby. It was indeed attractive, and Zhou Chao lifted Little Mango onto it.
“Little Mango, hold on tight.” Zhou Chao mounted the horse next to her, and soon, the merry-go-round began to spin. Little Mango’s laughter sounded like tinkling silver bells.
After enjoying the merry-go-round ride, Zhou Chao took Little Mango to experience the roller coaster at the Gold Mine Town, as well as the Happy Jellyfish, and many other attractions. They played until it was dark, and only then did they leave Happy Valley.
Zhou Chao and Little Mango had a light meal near Happy Valley, and then he sent her back home. Perhaps due to the excitement of the day, Little Mango fell asleep in the car after a short while.
“Knock, knock, knock.” Zhou Chao gently tapped on the door of Ye Zhengfeng’s home. It didn’t take long before the door opened.
“Uncle Ye.” Zhou Chao greeted softly.
Ye Zhengfeng glanced at Little Mango in Zhou Chao’s arms and quickly reached out to take her.
“Uncle Ye, I’m leaving Little Mango in your care. I’m heading back now.”
“You’ve worked hard today. Get some rest too.” With a simple farewell, Zhou Chao turned and left.
“Back to the hotel!” Zhou Chao leaned back in his seat and muttered softly. He, too, felt tired from the day’s adventures.
“Alright, boss..”
