Without even having a proper breakfast, upon receiving the news, she hurried to the amusement park with the children.
Around eight in the morning, the amusement park, newly opened, only had a sparse handful of children.
While the child played inside, Zhou Jinbei nervously watched the entrance alone.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes…
Finally, two familiar figures entered.
Zhan Beijue, in black sweatpants, a black t-shirt, and black sunglasses covering his face, held Jiang Nan Fang’s hand, who was in black sweatpants, a white t-shirt, and sunglasses.
The two walked towards them, like a celebrity couple, with synchronized steps and happy expressions, exuding grace.
They were just like Brad Pitt and Aniston before their divorce!
Their height, their looks, their presence – they were so perfectly matched!
If it weren't for Jiang Nan Fang’s repeated instructions for her not to reveal Zhan Beijue's identity and not to shout in front of everyone,
She would have been so excited she would have pounced on them.
She tried her best to control herself and only stepped forward to greet them when they were close.
Unsure of how to express herself, she grinned foolishly and extended her hand to Zhan Beijue.
“Hello, Second Brother. I’m Zhou Jinbei. I’m your favorite cousin. I was your assistant for a while, and we even lived together for a period.”
“You used to like me a lot, remember me? Welcome back! I’ve missed you so much!”
On the way, Zhan Beijue had already heard Jiang Nan Fang briefly mention this cousin.
He knew she was flamboyant and a carefree, funny woman.
He didn’t expect her to be so amusing.
No wonder he liked her; he had good taste.
“Even if you don’t remember the past, you’ll get to know me slowly, and you’ll like me again. Hello, my cousin.”
My goodness, it felt like Second Brother was more down-to-earth and humorous than before.
Was it just the illusion of not seeing him for a long time?
Zhou Jinbei was utterly captivated by him.
“Sister-in-law, can I hug him?”
Jiang Nan Fang was very generous.
“Of course, he’s not only my husband but also your cousin. Hug him as much as you want.”
Zhou Jinbei finally couldn't hold back and leaped, throwing herself into Zhan Beijue’s arms.
Zhan Beijue held her and spun her around twice.
“You’ve been working hard taking care of the children recently.”
“Not hard at all. It’s my honor to serve you and your wife. Shall I call the children over?”
“No need. I’ll go give them a surprise.”
Tian Tian and Ge Er were playing on the slide, climbing up and sliding down one after another.
They were screaming, giggling, and racing down, with an air of innocent joy.
Zhan Beijue looked at them with soft eyes.
“Those two girls are my daughters?”
“Yes, look how much your daughters resemble you. There’s no denying it.”
Like Jiang Nan Fang, the two girls were wearing simple white t-shirts and black casual pants, with white sneakers, their hair tied up in a simple bun.
Their outfits were casual and laid-back, but their skin was so fair, their features so defined, and their smiles so radiant.
They looked utterly endearing.
Zhan Beijue felt his heart melt instantly. He unconsciously crossed the railing and walked over in three quick steps.
“Hey girls.”
The two little ones chattered as they slid down, then turned, holding hands, and started climbing up to slide again.
Suddenly, a pleasant and familiar male voice sounded from behind them.
They quickly turned around.
Seeing Zhan Beijue, tall and burly, with a beard and sunglasses, they blinked their confused big eyes.
“Who was that speaking? Was that you? Your voice sounds like my daddy’s.”
“What if I happen to be your daddy?”
Zhan Beijue crouched down and opened his arms to them.
“Want to come over and get checked?”
“Ah—it really is you, Daddy? You’re back?”
“Ah—Daddy’s back!”
The two girls screamed and rushed into his arms simultaneously. Zhan Beijue held one in each arm, letting them pull off his sunglasses and Ge Er tugging at his beard.
While curiously examining him, they spoke in their milky voices.
“When did you get back? Where did you go? Mommy said you went to complete a very secret mission and couldn’t tell us. I didn’t believe it at first, but now it seems true!
“This is the first time I’ve seen you with so much beard, it’s so cool, like a villain in a movie. Is it real?”
“Touch it, see if you can pull it off.”
Ge Er carefully tugged a couple more times, but it wouldn’t budge. It was real.
“Daddy, you’re so handsome!”
Zhan Beijue turned to look at Tian Tian.
“And you? Do you like Daddy like this?”
Tian Tian answered truthfully.
“I don’t like it very much, but if Ge Er and Mommy like it, I like it too.”
“You seem more muscular than before. Both my hands can’t even grasp half of your arm. Can you lift us up and spin us around?”
The little girl was quite observant; she had noticed that.
Zhan Beijue stood up with them in his arms.
“Of course. Do you want to spin left or right, and how many times?”
“Can you spin left five times, and then right five times?”
“Are you sure? You might get dizzy, and you’ll lose your balance.”
“It’s okay, we won’t get hurt if we fall here anyway.”
Indeed, the ground beneath them was padded with foam, so they wouldn’t get hurt no matter how they fell.
Zhan Beijue spun them left five times and right five times, and the three of them ended up falling onto the mat.
“Hahahaha…”
The two girls burst into bell-like laughter.
Rui Rui, at a corner of the climbing wall, was successfully drawn to the commotion.
He ran to meet Jing Yu.
“Look over there. What’s going on? Someone is making Ge Er and Tian Tian happy. It’s very similar to the person we met a few days ago.”
“Let’s go take a look.”
Getting up from the mat, the two little girls excitedly asked their aunt and mother to join them, and they all started playing hide-and-seek.
The two little boys approached.
“Mommy, what have you been busy with these past few days? Why are you only back now? Who is he?”
“Hi, guys.”
Zhan Beijue had seen them the moment he stood up.
Seeing them approaching with hesitant and scrutinizing eyes, he was prepared for their reaction.
“Do you remember me? We met at the airport a couple of days ago.”
Without his sunglasses, a familiar smile spread across his face, and now they could see clearly.
It was Daddy! The person they met at the airport a few days ago was really Daddy!
“Daddy? You’re Daddy? It’s really you!”
“But why didn’t you admit it that day? Why did you wait so long to come back to find us?”
One had to admit, Jiang Nan Fang was truly gifted at childbirth.
Her two daughters were so beautiful and captivating, and her sons were equally distinguished.
With all four of them standing together, they were a breathtaking sight.
“I apologize. I still had some unfinished business that day, so I postponed the surprise. I made you wait. Can you forgive me?”
He crouched down and opened his arms.
The two little boys also rushed into his embrace.
Three manly heads huddled together.
Zhan Beijue patted their shoulders.
