Just pretending not to hear what Su Yehao said.

Counting from Casino, 1997, Yin Liuli has been with him for a full decade.

Now that her daughter is old enough to attend elementary school, she has already seen through many things.

Yin Liuli may occasionally grumble at Su Yehao, thinking he spends too little time with their daughter, but she never feels that he has done her wrong in any way.

Back then, she was a down-on-her-luck girl, but now she possesses assets close to ten billion Hong Kong dollars. Her days are peaceful, her body is free from illness and disaster, and her daughter is well-behaved and sensible. What more could she ask for?

She never pursued many things in the first place.

Just now.

Yin Liuli said:

"When I went to the golf club, I happened to hear you were there, so I called Miss Yun. Hearing that you were here alone, I came to see you. I still have to take Le Yao to learn the violin later, so I'll be leaving soon."

Su Yehao shook his head and said:

"Violin lessons and such, missing one class won't matter. Stay here this afternoon and watch TV, or find a place to wander around."

"I want to go horseback riding. Mommy says horses are scary, but Ali from next door has ridden horses before."

His daughter, Su Le Yao, said.

Even if her identity hasn't been fully revealed, her social circle is what it is, and the things she's exposed to from a young age are naturally different.

Places like the Shahe Golf Club are practically the little girl's backyard. She lived there for a long time, often rides in private planes, and has been on several overseas trips.

Su Yehao still remembers when he was in high school, he also kept his own horse at Donghuang Rose High School.

He hugged his daughter and said:

"Okay, but forget about the big horses. I remember there are miniature horses, and miniature donkeys, miniature cows. When the time comes, Daddy will have them bought and sent to you. Is Ali your friend?"

Yin Liuli chuckled and said:

"You just spoil her. She's always bothering Koko at home, and if she had a pony, she'd go crazy. Ali is the child of the new neighbors in Casino. Her parents used to run a rubber business in Southeast Asia and probably have a few hundred million in assets. They seem like a nice couple."

Su Yehao just listened, let his daughter go to the yard to feed the fish, and said calmly, "It's good to have friends. At her age, she should have more contact with peers. Last time I heard you mention that Koko often has diarrhea, how is it doing?"

This struck Yin Liuli's sore spot.

She immediately sighed:

"Not good. The doctor said it's getting old. A cat's ten years is equivalent to a human's fifty or sixty years. In cats entering old age, various bodily functions will decline. Besides, Koko is so fat and has been less active lately. Its time may come at any moment."

Hearing her mention this, Su Yehao was equally moved.

He still remembers the scene from the Casino cat and dog show when he and Yin Liuli brought that super-fat golden chinchilla home.

Later, there were the Casino Koko cat cafe and restaurants, and Koko Venture Capital and other industries.

He said:

"That's just how time is, constantly flowing forward. Everyone says I'm amazing, but even if I were to go bankrupt, I couldn't stop the flow of time in society for even half a second. I can't think about these things. Thinking about it brings a suffocating despair that comes crashing down, and eventually you realize that nothing has meaning in the face of time. A thousand years from now, no one may remember me, and a million years from now, it's unknown whether humans will even exist."

"If you can't think about it, then don't. A person's life is like a firework, only that moment of brilliance."

After Yin Liuli finished speaking, she thought again of that golden chinchilla named Koko and continued to sigh, saying:

"Koko in this life, from childhood to now, has never had a hard day. It eats and sleeps every day, wakes up and basks in the sun, and then continues to eat. Because it's so likable, it probably has hundreds of descendants, so it's been blessed. It's just that I feel very reluctant."

Su Yehao took her hand and said, "After every cat dies, its soul goes to Cat Planet, and dogs go to Woof Planet. Although they can't be with you, they'll be watching you from above."

"...Koko is just old, not dead. You're making me cry. I'll go home and open a can of food for it as a treat," Yin Liuli said.

Su Yehao teased:

"That's right, it's as big as a gas cylinder, and it hasn't lost weight in ten whole years. It's more important to be happy in old age. It's like trying to persuade a ninety-year-old man to quit smoking and drinking, it would only make him suffer more."

Thinking of something.

Yin Liuli asked, "You're cooperating with the mainland to start a joint venture airline, are you really planning to set foot on the moon and build a lunar hotel on it?"

"What hotel? The plan is for a maximum of a few people, it's just a gimmick."

Su Yehao rubbed his stubble, hiccupped, and continued:

"I thought it was interesting before, but once I met an astronaut who said that when you leave the hatch and enter space, the terrifying darkness is simply suffocating, and it's only slightly better when you stare at Earth. How should I describe it? It's probably like an ant stumbling into a huge dark cave. I'm also an ant, just a slightly wealthier one. When the time comes, I may not have the strength to leave Earth and go looking for abuse."

Hearing him say this, Yin Liuli turned around and grabbed Su Yehao's hand, smiling and saying, "It's good that you know to be afraid. Extreme sports are popular now. Some people fall from high buildings, and others die in skydiving and skiing accidents. I heard you hit a rock while skiing at the beginning of the year, and it scared me to death."

Su Yehao smiled awkwardly and said in a low voice:

"Let me tell you a secret, actually, hitting a rock is a public relations story to make me seem cooler. The truth is that I was careless and accidentally stepped into an ice crevice and broke my leg. It hurt so much that I almost called for my mommy. I still feel a chill down my spine when I think about it."

He lifted his trouser leg, and the surgical scar was still there.

He had been thinking about looking for some excitement before, learning surfing, wingsuit flying, and so on, but after the accident, his thoughts immediately faded.

It's important for people to know their own limits.

Su Yehao recognizes that he is more mature than he was ten years ago, and he has also learned a lot of new knowledge, but at the end of the day, he is still just an ordinary person with a little more money. He doesn't have the courage to disregard life and death just to seek excitement.

They chatted for a while.

The topics were nothing more than how their daughter was doing, what activities she had participated in recently, and what places she had gone to.

Without material worries, there are still a lot of trivial things in life.

For example, his eldest daughter, Su Le Yao, has good grades in Chinese and mathematics, but she has no sense of language at all when it comes to English, and she gets sleepy as soon as she memorizes vocabulary. This worries Yin Liuli, who is afraid that her daughter will be lopsided in the future.

Su Yehao was a little worried at first, but then he realized that he had already donated to one university and two business schools. Since there was no need to take exams, it didn't matter if her English was poor. Anyway, there was no worry about her not being able to go to school.

He rested at home in the afternoon and watched an animated movie. It was already evening.
