The engagement is over, but the black-bellied president won't let go

Chenchen's eyes lit up after hearing his father's suggestion, and he immediately found two small building block figures and placed them at the entrance of the castle. "Dad, look, doesn't this look better?"

"It's so beautiful, Chenchen is so smart!" Xiao Yichen replied with a smile.

Qiao Chu watched the interaction between the father and daughter, and her heart was filled with warmth and emotion. She also began to perfect her work. She wanted to build a castle full of gardens and paths to echo the castles of Chenchen and Xiao Yichen.

The family of three was immersed in their own creations. The only sounds in the living room were the collision of blocks and occasional quiet discussions. The sunlight shone on them, outlining a beautiful and warm picture.

After a while, Chenchen's castle was finally completed. This castle not only has tall walls and pointed roofs, but also beautiful gardens and guarding soldiers. Chenchen stood in front of his work, his hands on his hips, his face filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Dad, Mom, do you think my castle is the most beautiful?" Chenchen's voice was full of anticipation.

Xiao Yichen and Qiao Chu put down the building blocks in their hands and carefully admired Chenchen's castle.

"Chenchen, your castle is not only beautiful, but also full of imagination. Mom thinks it is a unique castle in the world." Qiao Chu exclaimed.

Xiao Yichen also nodded in agreement, "Yes, Chenchen's castle is the best. Even Dad's castle can't compare to it."

Chenchen jumped for joy after hearing his parents' praise. "Who won our game?"

Xiao Yichen and Qiao Chu smiled at each other, "Of course Chenchen wins, baby."

Chenchen clapped his hands excitedly, "Great, I won!"

……

After playing for a while, Chenchen's excitement gradually faded, and her little body began to show signs of fatigue. Her little hands, which had been flexibly fiddling with the building blocks, slowly stopped, and she leaned against Qiao Chu's warm arms. Her eyelids seemed to be hung with heavy lead blocks, and they began to droop constantly. Her cute little appearance made people feel pity for her. After all, she got up more than three hours earlier than usual today, which was a huge drain on the energy of this growing little baby.

"Baby, take a nap if you're sleepy." Qiao Chu said softly, her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, afraid that a little louder voice would disturb Chenchen's sleep. Qiao Chu gently patted Chenchen's back, the rhythm was slow and regular, like the most gentle lullaby. She hoped that Chenchen could take a comfortable nap in this warm comfort.

Chenchen seemed to have found the safest harbor in her mother's arms. Soon, she began to breathe evenly and gently, and fell into a sweet dream. Her slightly raised mouth corners seemed to be still recalling the happy time of building blocks.

Seeing Chenchen fast asleep, Xiao Yichen stood up very gently and carefully lifted Chenchen from Qiao Chu's arms. Every movement he made was full of fatherly love and care, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world. Chenchen's little head rested on Xiao Yichen's shoulder, mumbling a few unclear words in his sleep.

Xiao Yichen carried Chenchen into the bedroom, taking every step steadily, fearing that a slight bump would wake up his daughter from her sleep. He gently put Chenchen on the bed and covered her with a soft quilt. The cute cartoon patterns embroidered on the quilt seemed to be protecting Chenchen's sweet dreams. Xiao Yichen carefully tucked the corners of the quilt to ensure that Chenchen would not catch a cold. Finally, he bent down and left a gentle kiss on Chenchen's forehead, then gently closed the door, fearing that there would be any sound.

Back in the living room, Xiao Yichen sat next to Qiao Chu, stretched out his hand, and held her hand tightly. "My dear, you have worked hard recently." His eyes were full of sincere gratitude and deep heartache. He looked at Qiao Chu, and the tenderness in his eyes seemed to turn into water.

Qiao Chu responded with a smile, which was as warm and bright as the sun. "As long as our family is together, nothing is hard." Her eyes were firm and gentle, as if they could tolerate all the storms and difficulties in the world. Her eyes fell on Xiao Yichen's face, which showed trust, dependence, and deep love.

Xiao Yichen was moved when he heard Qiao Chu's words. He embraced Qiao Chu in his arms and held her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body and never separate. "I will work harder to give you a better life." His voice was low and powerful, and it rang in Qiao Chu's ears, like an eternal vow.

Qiao Chu leaned in Xiao Yichen's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling extremely relieved. "I believe you, Yichen, I am very happy now." Her voice was full of expectations and longings for the future.

Xiao Yichen gently let go of Qiao Chu. At that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped for their warmth. His eyes were gentle and ardent. He looked intently into Qiao Chu's eyes and said affectionately, "By the way, the weather is nice today. How about we take Chenchen to the amusement park this afternoon?" His eyes were shining with excitement, and that light seemed to have reflected the warm scene of a family of three having fun in the amusement park, with Chenchen's cheerful laughter, Qiao Chu's happy smile, and his own satisfied expression.

When Qiao Chu heard this proposal, a happy smile immediately spread across her face. Her eyes sparkled like two bright stars. "Okay," she responded cheerfully, but soon, a trace of concern appeared in her eyes, and she turned her gaze to Xiao Yichen, "But you were on night shift last night, so you won't be very tired today, will you?" Her voice was gentle, full of worry, as if Xiao Yichen was a precious and fragile treasure that needed her careful care.

Xiao Yichen laughed heartily when he heard Qiao Chu's concern. That smile was full of sunshine and confidence, just like the warm sun penetrating the clouds in winter, which could dispel all the haze. "How could that be? Don't worry, your husband is in good health. Although he was on night shift yesterday, he was able to rest except for making rounds." In order to reassure Qiao Chu, he stretched out his arms and showed his strength. The strong arms seemed to tell Qiao Chu that he had enough energy to spend a wonderful afternoon with his family.

Qiao Chu was amused by his appearance, and her worries were alleviated a little. "That's good, then we have to prepare and bring Chenchen her favorite snacks and water." As she spoke, she began to think about what she needed to prepare.

Xiao Yichen nodded, his eyes full of expectation, "Yes, and wear a sun hat, don't let the baby get sunburned."

The two began to discuss their plan to go to the amusement park in the afternoon with great interest. Their words filled the entire living room like cheerful notes.

"We need to bring that pink jacket for Chenchen so he can wear it in case it's windy in the afternoon." Qiao Chu said seriously.

"Well, also bring her favorite little doll. Maybe she can hold it and rest for a while when she gets tired of playing." Xiao Yichen added.

"Oh, yes, I have to charge my phone and record our beautiful moments." Qiao Chu's face was full of anticipation.

"Haha, I can't wait to see Chenchen having fun on the carousel." Xiao Yichen said with a smile.

Their laughter echoed in the living room, full of anticipation for the upcoming happy time, as if they had already felt the laughter and happy moments in the playground in advance. At this moment, the bedroom door was gently pushed open, and Chenchen rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out in a daze.

"Baby, did you sleep well?" Qiao Chu hurriedly walked forward, squatted down, and asked gently.

Chenchen nodded, his voice still a little soft as if he had just woken up, "Mom, I dreamed that we were playing in the playground."

"Then let's go to the amusement park in the afternoon to realize your dream." Xiao Yichen said with a smile. He walked up to Chenchen and gently touched her little head.

"Okay! Thank you, Dad. I'm so happy!" Chenchen's eyes suddenly lit up, his sleepiness disappeared instantly, and he jumped up excitedly.

Qiao Chu looked at Chenchen's cute appearance and said with a smile: "Baby, go wash your face first and wake up, then we will get ready to go to the amusement park together."

Chenchen nodded obediently and ran to the bathroom happily.

Xiao Yichen and Qiao Chu smiled at each other and continued to discuss the details of going to the amusement park.

"When we get to the amusement park, how about letting Chenchen ride the train first? She has always loved it." Xiao Yichen suggested.

"Okay, then let's go play on the carousel. Girls all like that dreamy feeling." Qiao Chu responded.

"And there's the inflatable castle. Chenchen can jump around in it to his heart's content." Xiao Yichen became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Yes, but you have to watch over her and don't let her fall," Qiao Chu warned.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Xiao Yichen patted his chest.

After a while, Chenchen came out after washing his face. His little face was white and clean, so cute.

"Mom, Dad, I'll go get ready!" Chenchen said impatiently.

At noon, the sun shines through the window onto the kitchen tiles, reflecting warm light. Xiao Yichen is busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, and his figure looks particularly tall and reliable. Soon, waves of tempting aroma waft out of the kitchen.

Xiao Yichen personally cooked a sumptuous lunch, and the table was filled with delicious dishes. There was Qiao Chu's favorite sweet and sour spareribs, which were bright red and sweet and sour; there was also fresh steamed fish, which exuded a faint aroma of green onion and ginger; and green stir-fried seasonal vegetables, which looked very refreshing.

While eating, Xiao Yichen kept picking up food for Qiao Chu, his eyes full of concern and love, "Eat more, dear, you've lost weight recently." His voice was gentle and mellow, as if it could melt people's hearts.
