They were alone this time because she said she only wanted to spend time with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The duo was currently sitting on the public seating, eating ice cream. Both of them wore happy faces because they enjoyed their time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Ai, do you want to taste big brother's ice cream?\" Xiao Tian put his ice cream in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Un.\" After nodding her head cutely, she tasted his ice cream. \"It's good. Big brother, taste my ice cream too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a small bite of her ice cream before finally nodding his head. \"It's good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The duo was eating their ice cream again. As they were enjoying their ice cream, two people walked closer to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo, Xiao Tian. It has been quite a while since the last time we met.\" Zhao Sheng, who was walking to Xiao Tian, uttered, \"How have you been?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian turned his head toward the source of the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Oh, it's Zhao Sheng and his grandfather.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Zhao Sheng and Zhao Chen walking toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhao Chen was in front of them, he looked at Mu Ai. \"Oh! Is she your daughter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'She is so adorable.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xiao Tian could answer Zhao Chen's question, Mu Ai said something surprising. \"Santa Claus?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chen had white hair and a beard, so he looked like Santa Claus in Mu Ai's eyes. That was why she said something like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian almost laughed after hearing Mu Ai's words. He did not expect her to say something like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha.\" Unlike Xiao Tian, Zhao Sheng could not hold back himself and laughed loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhao family was already a high upper-class family, so no one dared to say such a thing except Mu Ai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the Zhao family were not a high upper-class family, no one would dare to say something like that because Zhao Chen was a martial expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chen hit his grandson's head for laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ouch!\" Zhao Sheng cried out in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chen returned his attention to Mu Ai before finally speaking, \"I'm not Santa Claus, I'm Zhao Chen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Mu Ai's words sounded like she was making fun of him, he was not angry at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because Mu Ai was an adorable kid!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, like Xiao Tian, Zhao Chen had been charmed by her cuteness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. Mu Ai is Mu Ai.\" Mu Ai nodded her head cutely when she discovered that Zhao Chen was not Santa Claus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian and the others almost could not control themselves when they saw Mu Ai nodding her head cutely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian even hoped she would remain a kid forever because her cute face and adorable actions were like healing magic to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the reason why he really liked her and never refused her wishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, why did you come to this place?\" Xiao Tian threw a question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We want to meet my grandfather's friend.\" Zhao Sheng responded, \"Do you want to come with us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I promised to spend the whole day with little Ai, so I will pass.\" Xiao Tian refused instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\" Zhao Sheng responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They chatted for about ten minutes before finally, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Chen left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian and Mu Ai were currently strolling around the Shenro Fountain. Like before, they wore happy faces because they were thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother, I'm hungry.\" Even though she had eaten two ice cream, she was still hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let's eat now.\" he was also hungry because they had not had lunch yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's find a restaurant now.\" Mu Ai suddenly ran, looking for a restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Ai, be careful.\" He ran after her with a worried face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Bump…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at him when she was running, causing her to bump into a mature lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Ai, are you alright?\" he rushed toward her worriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mature lady managed to catch Mu Ai so she was not injured. \"Are you alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry. She di-\" he was startled when he saw the mature lady. \"Lady Xi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, that mature lady was Xi Ran, Xi Xingyi's daughter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Tian?\" like him, she was also surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I didn't expect to meet him in this place.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly wanted to know who Mu Ai was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Ai looked at Xiao Tian before finally shifting her gaze to Xi Ran. \"Big brother, do you know this big sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. She is big brother's friend.\" He gave an honest answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Ai suddenly grabbed Xi Ran's right hand and said something shocking, \"Big sister, we are going to have lunch. Let's eat together with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Tian was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he did not mind if she wanted to join them, but he believed Xi Ran would refuse because he knew her personality well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his guess was wrong because Xi Ran accepted it immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" Xi Ran was also hungry, so she agreed to eat with them immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, she did not know why she suddenly agreed to have lunch with them because, previously, she intended to eat alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let's eat together.\" Mu Ai said happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trio started looking for a nearby restaurant. When they were about to go to a lobster restaurant, they saw an interesting floating restaurant advertisement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was mentioned that customers would eat on the boat, and the boat would sail when it had enough customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, they would eat in the sailing boat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this, not only could they eat delicious food, but they could see a beautiful view from the boat too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boat would sail for about fifty minutes, and it would sail in the Dong River. Dong River was a huge river and was located not far from residential houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trio was currently sitting on chairs. Mu Ai was on his right side, while Xi Ran was on the opposite side of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was an open-air boat, the safety was good because customers were protected by an iron fence surrounding the boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that but there were ten people guarding them. They were ready to save the customers if they fell into the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother, I like this floating restaurant.\" Mu Ai said happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair danced softly because the boat had no windows. The boat was designed without windows because the wind could make the atmosphere perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after that, the boat sailed. The boat sailed at low speed because, with this, the customers could enjoy their food and the scenery around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waitresses began giving their orders. All the waitresses were beautiful and had nice bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa!\" Mu Ai was pleased when she saw her food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>​ Previously, Xiao Tian ordered many foods and six drinks. They would be in the boat for fifty minutes, so he ordered extra food and drinks for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's eat.\" Xiao Tian said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trio began to eat. They were happy because the food was delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Even though the price is expensive, but it worth it. I like this floating restaurant.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was satisfied with the food because it was worth the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the trio began to enjoy themselves in the floating boat.\u003C\u002Fp>",1219,"2026-06-06T16:28:01.574Z",1,"novelbin.me","d33ec6a49214aed31f6bbd2010fdb7b0826b8e0c61702eeaa775b1aa69e29280","illicit-relationship-chapter-1525","illicit-relationship-chapter-1523",1793,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fillicit-relationship-cover.jpg"]
