After eating, the two of them took the two little ones out.
Su Jinxiu seemed to have figured something out, and her mood appeared to be very good.
Gu Gu, on the other hand, was very nervous, constantly looking around. Even though Little Carp was holding her hand, her face was still full of panic and unease.
Liu Nanfeng naturally knew why. Considering all the suffering she had endured and how long she had been confined in the laboratory, even an adult would find it difficult to adapt to the outside world upon arrival, let alone a child as young as Gu Gu.
Fortunately, Gu Gu had already folded her wings and looked almost no different from an ordinary little girl, so she didn't attract much attention.
Liu Nanfeng stepped forward and picked them both up, one in each arm.
Gu Gu clung tightly to Liu Nanfeng's neck, her expression one of relief.
Little Carp, however, restlessly stretched out her body, reaching for the leaves above.
Although the weather was a bit hot, a gentle breeze rustled through the trees, and walking under their shade felt quite comfortable.
Sunlight filtered through the treetops and fell onto the ground, shimmering and rippling like the surface of water with the gentle breeze.
The "amusement park" Su Jinxiu mentioned was actually just some recreational facilities within the park, not a true amusement park.
Liu Nanfeng lifted Little Carp slightly with one hand, allowing her to pick a leaf.
Following behind, Su Jinxiu watched them, reaching up to brush a stray strand of hair from her temple as the breeze blew, a smile playing on her lips.
She loved children very much, and so did Liu Nanfeng. Could there be anything more perfect, any more perfect reason?
"Wow, it's so hot."
Little Carp stuck out her tongue, like a little puppy.
They had already walked out of the shade and into the sunlight.
Gu Gu also shielded her forehead with her hand, squinting as she looked ahead. A giant Ferris wheel was slowly rotating.
"It'll be better soon," Liu Nanfeng said.
They were already nearing the park entrance. Once inside, there would be more shaded areas.
"So many trees."
Little Carp's face lit up with surprise as she looked at the lush park.
"Are we going there?" Little Carp asked, pointing at the park.
"Of course. Why else would we come here?"
Upon hearing this, Little Carp wriggled with joy.
Although she had always lived in water, it didn't mean she had never seen so many trees. After all, the Yangtze River was vast, and there were countless trees along its banks.
However, she had never walked among them. That's why she was so excited to hear they were going into the "forest."
The park was free to enter. The park's revenue came from its entertainment facilities. On holidays, parents from nearby would bring their children to play.
However, it was the afternoon, and not a holiday, so there were not many people in the park. Only a few elderly people were strolling leisurely.
But this was good; at least there would be no queues or crowds when playing on the rides.
Upon reaching the park, Liu Nanfeng set them both down.
Seeing how beautiful and quiet the park was, and more importantly, how few people there were, Gu Gu let out a sigh of relief and showed a hint of happiness.
"Gu Gu, Gu Gu, look, such a big leaf."
Little Carp pouted her little bottom, picked up a leaf, and excitedly showed it to Gu Gu.
"Gu Gu..."
Gu Gu made a sound and lowered her head to search for leaves she deemed beautiful.
At this moment, Little Carp suddenly took off running ahead with her short legs.
Gu Gu thought she had found a beautiful leaf and hurried to follow.
But just then, Little Carp, with her little bottom sticking out, picked up a coin from the ground.
"Do you know what this is?" Little Carp proudly showed it to Gu Gu.
Gu Gu certainly knew, as she used to beg for money on the streets every day. Although this coin looked a bit different, she still recognized it.
"This is money. You can buy things to eat," Little Carp exclaimed excitedly.
Gu Gu nodded gently.
"We'll go buy some delicious food later. I'll treat you," Little Carp said triumphantly, hands on her hips, walking forward with a waddle.
Gu Gu really wanted to say that one coin couldn't buy much, but only a soft "gu gu" escaped her lips.
Liu Nanfeng watched the two little ones in front of him, crouching down, bending over, and then running and jumping, and his mood seemed to lift with them.
Just then, he felt a hand slip through his arm, drawing his elbow into an embrace.
Liu Nanfeng turned his head. It was Su Jinxiu, of course.
Looking at Su Jinxiu, whose face was alight with joy, Liu Nanfeng asked, "You seem to be in a very good mood?"
"Of course. When I'm out with you, my mood is always good," Su Jinxiu replied. She then stood on tiptoe and lightly kissed Liu Nanfeng on the cheek.
Who wouldn't love such a woman?
Liu Nanfeng lowered his head to kiss her gently, but she dodged him, releasing his arm and running ahead.
"No, the children are here!"
Liu Nanfeng: ...
What was that supposed to mean? She could kiss him, but he couldn't kiss her?
Su Jinxiu placed her hands behind her back, turned, and asked Liu Nanfeng, "Husband, do you love me?"
"Of course. Do I need to ask?"
"Then will you do anything for me?" Su Jinxiu pressed on.
"Hmm?" Liu Nanfeng felt a pang of doubt. This was not like Su Jinxiu's usual demeanor; she would never ask such questions.
But Liu Nanfeng still nodded.
"Of course."
Upon hearing this, Su Jinxiu turned away and walked forward joyfully.
Liu Nanfeng scratched his head in confusion, even having a thought to look at the text above her head. It was indeed Su Jinxiu, not Su Huamei in disguise or someone else impersonating her.
Su Jinxiu had a very good figure. With her hands behind her back, her curves were even more pronounced. Her hair, though tied in a simple ponytail, was black and smooth, trailing down her back and swaying with her movements, making her appear very lively.
"Goo goo goo..."
A burst of happy laughter from Little Carp drifted on the wind. Following the sound, he saw that she had found a dry branch and was holding it high above her head, declaring it her horn and that she was now a big evil dragon, roaring "awoo, awoo" to eat a bird.
"Gu gu..."
"Husband, we'll have a child, won't we?"
"Of course," Liu Nanfeng replied with certainty.
Although it wasn't possible now, he believed it would be in the future.
"Having a child makes a family complete," Su Jinxiu said with a smile.
Liu Nanfeng nodded, remaining silent.
"When we went back last time, Mom quietly asked us when we were going to have a child and told me to persuade you to have one sooner."
"You don't need to pay attention to them," Liu Nanfeng said.
He didn't want his parents' words to burden Su Jinxiu.
"Actually, I think what they said makes sense. If we can have a child sooner, the better, because who knows what will happen in the future."
Liu Nanfeng's heart grew more puzzled. Why was Su Jinxiu suddenly bringing this up today?
Thinking of her unusual behavior when they returned at noon, Liu Nanfeng suddenly felt he had an answer.
He wasn't stupid and had a vague inkling of what was happening.
He looked up at Little Carp and Gu Gu, who were running ahead.
Then, he said softly, "Then let's have one."
"What?" Su Jinxiu turned around and asked in confusion.
He didn't know if she hadn't heard him or if she just wanted Liu Nanfeng to repeat himself.
"It's nothing. Hurry up and catch up," Liu Nanfeng said, striding forward to follow Little Carp and the others.
Watching his retreating figure, Su Jinxiu pursed her lips, the earlier joy completely gone.
