"Alright, Grandpa understands. Tongtong, have fun," Liu Chunsheng's demeanor completely changed when facing Tongtong. He became even more amiable and approachable, a stark contrast to the grumpy old man he was moments ago.
Upon seeing Su Wanru, Tongtong's expression turned excited. He was quite fond of his aunt.
"Auntie!"
"There, there, Tongtong, be good. Did you miss Auntie?" Su Wanru scooped him up and planted a kiss on his face, her expression brimming with joy and affection.
Tongtong nodded vigorously, "Of course, I missed you every day, Auntie!"
Su Wanru was overjoyed by his words.
"Dad, we're leaving now. We won't be home for dinner today. You absolutely must listen to Tongtong and eat dinner on time," Liu Yifeng reminded his father before they departed.
Liu Chunsheng didn't reply, merely giving his son a sidelong glance.
"How did things go with the company? Was it resolved smoothly?" Su Wanru initiated a conversation in the car, inquiring about Liu Yifeng's company matters.
She actually wanted to ask about Yun Duo'er too, but considering the child was present, it was best not to discuss such things.
"It's mostly resolved. There are still some difficult clients, but I don't think it's a big problem. These clients can exist, or they don't have to," Liu Yifeng said.
Liu Yifeng didn't shy away from discussing his work with Su Wanru. He felt her suggestions were quite insightful, so he was quite willing to share.
"That's good. The trend of big data is very much in your favor right now. I think you can seize this opportunity to further upgrade your industry. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. The specific situation depends on your plans." After her call with Liu Yifeng earlier, she had analyzed some recent big data trends.
Currently, this exposure was most beneficial to him. The negative aspects actually enhanced the credibility of the information, which was quite good.
"I will consider your suggestions. It's just that I'm not yet ready to go that far. My third uncle's crayfish business is still not mature. If there were suppliers, I'm afraid the supply would be insufficient. That's what worries me the most."
Su Wanru nodded, finding his concerns very reasonable. "I'm only suggesting. Whether you adopt it is up to you."
After that, they fell silent. Tongtong knew that children shouldn't interrupt adult conversations, so he listened quietly while also dismantling and reassembling his Rubik's Cube.
Fortunately, the awkward silence wasn't long. They soon arrived at the amusement park. Liu Yifeng had initially planned to take Tongtong directly to Su's parents' place, but it turned out Su Wanru wanted to take the child out to play.
"I feel like I'm not a very responsible aunt, so I thought of bringing him to an amusement park, a place kids love. This way, you can relax a bit too. I apologize for not discussing this with you in advance."
Upon arriving at the amusement park, Su Wanru noticed Liu Yifeng's surprise and quickly offered an explanation.
"Not at all! I think this is great. I just didn't expect you to arrange to meet here. It seems you really understand children's psychology."
"Regardless, Tongtong and I have known each other for quite some time. Although we've only recently recognized our relationship, I know what he likes and dislikes very well," Su Wanru said with a smile.
After speaking, she looked down at Tongtong beside her and asked gently, "Tongtong, do you want to play here?"
Tongtong nodded happily, "I love it! Thank you, Auntie!"
"This is what Auntie should do. If you want to go anywhere else in the future, just tell Auntie, and Auntie will take you. I'll go buy the tickets first!" With that, she went to queue for tickets.
"Daddy, Auntie is so good to Tongtong!" Tongtong said sincerely.
Liu Yifeng looked at Su Wanru. "Your aunt is indeed very good. When you grow up, you must be good to your aunt too, okay?"
Although Yun Duo'er wasn't a model mother, Su Wanru, as his aunt, was truly beyond reproach.
During their playtime, Tongtong and Su Wanru were all smiles.
However, while they were happily enjoying themselves, two hidden cameras were concealed in the nearby bushes.
Time flies when you're having fun. The morning passed quickly. They then took Tongtong to a children's restaurant for lunch. After eating, Tongtong went to the ball pit area to play with other children.
Not far away, Liu Yifeng and Su Wanru sat together, watching Tongtong play happily. They both wore smiles.
"Look how happy Tongtong is today. It's all thanks to you, his aunt. Thank you for taking so much of your time." Liu Yifeng expressed his gratitude.
"Don't mention it. I'm his aunt; of course, I should take him out. Besides, we owe the child a lot. What Yun Duo'er can't provide, I can only try to make up for," Su Wanru replied.
Su Wanru's words made Liu Yifeng fall into thought.
"I didn't mean to. I know you have a prejudice against her, but if we try to see things from her perspective, we know she must have had her own difficulties. I hope you can understand."
Su Wanru spoke cautiously, looking at the dejected Liu Yifeng. She knew she had no right to lecture him here. The fact that he accepted Tongtong and took such good care of him was already commendable. It would indeed be cruel to further burden him morally.
"I understand that as a public figure, she can't visit Tongtong. But doesn't she know that once she chose to have this child, she should be responsible for him? To abandon him like this without a word, does she know how much pain she's causing Tongtong?"
Liu Yifeng's voice rose with emotion. Whenever Yun Duo'er was mentioned, his emotions became uncontrollable. These were the feelings of a father.
He used to be able to handle anything on his own. But ever since he became a father, his child was his first priority. Even as a man, he understood this simple logic; why couldn't she?
"I can only apologize on her behalf. You've worked so hard taking care of Tongtong during this time. If you ever need our help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. I will do my best to assist you."
Su Wanru felt truly guilty. She didn't know how to discuss this matter with her sister, nor did she know what stance to take to comfort Liu Yifeng. She could only try her best to help and to help give Tongtong the childhood joy he deserved.
"Stop talking. This has nothing to do with you. It's between her and me. Tongtong is the only one who matters to me now. I can't be bothered with anything else."
