Qin Qiao'er stood on the bustling street with the kids, but Xu Xunling was nowhere to be seen in the passing crowd.
"Aunt Qin, what should we do?" Xi Yu asked worriedly. She was usually quite attached to Xu Xunling, and the girl already looked a bit anxious.
"It's okay. With so many of us, we'll definitely find her." Qin Qiao'er said as she stroked Xi Yu's head.
Xi Jin held Xi Yu's hand, silently giving her strength. Xi Yu stared at the crowd with red - rimmed eyes. The girl was holding back her tears, looking truly heart - wrenching.
"This stupid woman! She's so unreliable!" Qin Qiao'er silently complained.
"Let's look around." Zhao Youting said as he gently patted Qin Qiao'er on the shoulder.
"Okay." Qin Qiao'er nodded. The two of them took the four kids and searched the whole street for Xu Xunling, but after half an hour, there was still no news.
At this moment, Xu Xunling was in front of a large shopping mall. She had been wandering around alone and didn't know where she was. Now she was afraid of going further away, making it harder for them to find her. The woman was pacing back and forth anxiously in front of the mall.
"Sis!" Suddenly, a familiar voice came. Xu Xunling instantly felt as if she had been saved!
"Jiang Chen!" Xu Xunling waved her hand excitedly.
"Ouch! Sis! What's going on with you? How did you just disappear?" Jiang Chen said a bit anxiously.
"I didn't do it on purpose. When I looked up, you guys were all gone!" Since Xu Xunling knew she was in the wrong, she only whispered in defense.
"Alright, alright! I'll call them and tell them not to look anymore." Jiang Chen said as he scratched his head.
Xu Xunling was a bit more obedient this time and let Jiang Chen make the arrangements.
Qin Qiao'er, who was still wandering around, suddenly let out a sigh of relief when she received Jiang Chen's call.
"How is it? How is it?" Xi Yu asked expectantly.
"It's okay, it's okay. She's been found. Let's go back!" Qin Qiao'er said with a smile.
After hearing Qin Qiao'er's words, Xi Jin and Xi Yu also let out a sigh of relief. Having such an unreliable mother really worried them.
They returned to the previous place. When Xi Jin and Xi Yu saw Xu Xunling, they rushed towards her.
"Mummy! You almost got lost! I was so scared!" Xi Yu said in a low voice and couldn't help crying.
Qin Qiao'er felt sorry for Xi Yu. "You should be more careful in the future!" Qin Qiao'er said to Xu Xunling.
"Got it, got it. Alright, alright, stop crying! Mommy won't get lost." Xu Xunling picked up Xi Yu and patted her on the back.
"You should stay close to us in the future." Shi Xinyan said gently from the side.
Xu Xunling nodded. She knew she was wrong. She felt that today was like a nightmare for her.
"Why was your phone turned off when we called you?" As they continued walking, Qin Qiao'er asked.
"Um... I was playing with my phone last night and forgot to charge it." Xu Xunling said with her head down in embarrassment.
"..." Qin Qiao'er rolled her eyes helplessly.
As they chatted while walking, they soon arrived at their accommodation, a seaside villa. The house had three floors, and through the window, one could see the vast blue sea.
As usual, they first chose rooms to rest for the night and would start the recording the next day.
This time, Qin Qiao'er still chose a room on the second floor. The woman was quite satisfied with the huge French window in the room.
"Do you like it?" Zhao Youting asked, standing behind the woman.
Qin Qiao'er, who was looking out of the window, was startled. After reacting, she quickly said, "Yes, I like it! It's very beautiful, and the design here is also great." Qin Qiao'er nodded in satisfaction after saying that.
"I'm glad you like it." Zhao Youting said with a smile.
Qin Qiao'er looked at Zhao Youting in confusion. What did he mean by saying she liked it? What did it have to do with her?
"Go to bed early. Chenchen and Wanwan must be sleepy." The man said in a deep voice. His voice was very soothing.
"Where will Uncle Youting sleep?" Wanwan, who heard her name, quickly ran over and asked.
"I'll sleep next to your room. If you need anything, you can call me!" Zhao Youting said as he squatted down and hugged Wanwan.
"Okay, good night, Uncle Youting!" Wanwan said and kissed Zhao Youting on the cheek.
"Good night!" Zhao Youting said with a smile.
After saying goodbye to Qin Qiao'er, Zhao Youting returned to his room alone. The man tidied up his things and then worked late into the night.
Qin Qiao'er sighed as she looked at the window next door that remained lit. Being a CEO was really not easy, she thought, and then fell asleep.
In her dream, she saw Zhao Youting. The man stood behind her and slowly hugged her. Zhao Youting rested his head on her shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Marry me!"
Qin Qiao'er woke up slowly and sighed. Why did she have such a dream?
"Mummy! Good morning!" Chenchen and Wanwan were already awake and playing in the room by themselves.
"Good morning, babies!" Qin Qiao'er said as she kissed Chenchen and Wanwan.
While changing clothes, Qin Qiao'er smelled the aroma of food. Without even thinking, she knew it must be Shi Xinyan making breakfast for them!
When Qin Qiao'er came downstairs with Chenchen and Wanwan, she saw Shi Xinyan cooking as expected. The woman was really so virtuous.
"Do you need my help?" Qin Qiao'er asked from the stairs.
Hearing Qin Qiao'er's voice, Shi Xinyan turned around and said, "No, it'll be ready soon. We can have breakfast in a while."
Seeing Zhou Yuxun helping Shi Xinyan, Qin Qiao'er nodded and didn't insist anymore. She really wasn't good at cooking.
Zhou Yuxun's personality was the opposite of Jiang Chen's. Zhou Yuxun seemed like a mature and steady uncle type. Of course, this only referred to his personality. He wasn't old, but his temperament seemed to match Shi Xinyan's.
"Good morning! You guys got up so early! Xinyan is making breakfast for us again. We're so lucky!" Xu Xunling said as she came downstairs.
"Good morning." Qin Qiao'er nodded.
Xu Xunling sat next to Qin Qiao'er with Xi Yu and Xi Jin. The four little friends got together again and played their own games.
After breakfast, they followed Uncle Hong to the task location as before, but this time they were on a bustling street.
"Welcome everyone! Today we're going to start a new challenge. Are you all happy?" Uncle Hong said with a smile.
"Not happy!" Xi Jin squatted on the ground and said very 'unhappily'.
Everyone was amused by little Xi Jin. Seeing Wanwan laughing so hard, Xi Jin lowered her head shyly.
"Even if we're not happy, we still have to do the task. Our task today is to find passers - by on the street, ask them to taste our Chinese food, and stick a 'thumbs - up' label on them. In the end, the one with the most thumbs - up wins."
"As usual, the winner gets to choose lunch first!"
After hearing Uncle Hong's words, everyone dragged themselves onto the street. This task was still a bit difficult.
