Chapter 462: Chapter 423: What Is the Real Purpose Behind This Sudden Warmth and Intimacy?

"Beep beep~"

With the crisp sound of the car horn, the bus finally slowly drove into the picturesque Xuanmen Bay sightseeing park after more than an hour of smooth driving.

The children curiously craned their necks, looking out the window...

At this moment.

Many luxurious buses were already parked near the entrance of the park, lined up neatly, their bodies glistening in the sunlight.

Obviously.

Not only were the children from Dorami Kindergarten here for an autumn trip today, but kids from other kindergartens also chose this scenic spot as their autumn outing destination.

As for which kindergarten they were from, the children weren’t concerned.

Their attention was entirely captured by the novel scenery in front of them.

"Wow, are we there yet?"

"Look, there’s a butterfly flying over there!"

"See, there seems to be a place to play over there, can we go there later?"

"..."

Seeing the children so excited, Miss Yang lightly clapped her hands and said, "Children, please quiet down!"

In an instant.

The cheerful chatter in the bus vanished without a trace.

To the kindergarten children, all the teachers have more authority than their parents. Many naughty kids are little tyrants at home, but in front of teachers, they are filled with awe.

So obedient!

Of course.

There are still some fearless troublemakers who don’t even listen to the teachers. These kids are often the most troublesome in kindergarten, but such cases are not common at Dorami Kindergarten.

Plus, with the temptation of food rewards, the children still listen and follow the teacher’s instructions!

Once all the children focused their attention, Miss Yang continued: "Children, we have arrived at Xuanmen Bay sightseeing park. But before we get off the bus, the teacher wants to remind everyone once more to follow the rules, line up and follow the teachers and accompanying parents, don’t run off by yourselves. Also, do not litter in the park, protect the environment, and keep it clean..."

She spoke for several minutes and finally raised her voice to ask, "Have you all remembered?"

The children from Class (4) responded in unison, "We remember!"

"Very good!"

She smiled encouragingly: "Additionally, remember to enjoy the fun of this autumn outing, observe the surrounding natural beauty, learn new things, and most importantly, prioritize safety. Safety is the premise of our activities, everyone must keep it in mind."

The kids nodded earnestly.

"Driver, please open the door..."

Miss Yang smiled and nodded to the driver, signaling him to open the door.

As the door slowly opened, she turned around with a smile and said, "Alright, children, let’s bring our curiosity and spirit of exploration to discover the beauty of Xuanmen Bay!"

"Yay~"

Amid cheers, the children’s faces beamed with an excited and expectant smile, as they lightly hopped off the bus one by one.

"Daddy~"

Upon stepping onto the ground, Qingqing and Weiwei simultaneously turned around, waving their little hands excitedly, calling out to their dads behind them with the purest summons, eyes alight with the desire to march alongside.

"Hey!"

Huang Jun approached upon hearing their call, crouching down to align his view with the little ones, full of affectionate reminders: "Qingqing, Weiwei, remember to stick close to Miss Yang and the other children, don’t wander off and become little wanderers, okay~"

Qingqing and Weiwei: "゛(’◇’)?"

What does that mean?

Does it mean Daddy is leaving and can’t stay with us?

A hint of confusion flashed in Qingqing’s eyes, but soon her big eyes sparkled with expectancy as she eagerly asked, "Daddy, are you really not going to play with us?"

Qingqing curiously and slightly disappointedly asked, "Yeah, Daddy, why can’t you stay with us the whole time?"

Huang Jun understood their thoughts all too well.

They wished fervently for his company throughout, but as the head chef at the kindergarten, he also had other responsibilities today, making it impossible to stay with them the entire time.

He felt a bit uneasy inside, but more than that, he felt guilty towards the children.

He reached out to rub the little heads of the two kids and gently explained, "Daddy can walk with you guys for a while first, but afterward, Daddy needs to prepare some delicious food so everyone can enjoy some tasty treats. But don’t worry, once Daddy’s done, he can be with you for the whole afternoon. So, you must be good and join the activities with the teachers and other kids, okay?"

"Okay!"

Qingqing and Weiwei nodded obediently. Though they felt a bit reluctant, they also understood their father’s work.

"Good girls!"

Huang Jun kissed Qingqing’s small face, leaving a kiss full of affection.

"Ah!"

Surprised by the unexpected kiss, Qingqing made a sound of exclamation, feeling more joy and happiness.

"Daddy, what about me? What about me? I want one too! I want one too!"

Seeing her sister receive a kiss from Daddy, Weiwei’s eyes were full of envy. She stretched out her little face eagerly, looking forward to Daddy’s kiss.

"Don’t worry, I won’t miss you out!"

Huang Jun chuckled and gave a firm kiss on her little face, causing Weiwei to let out a long string of giggles.

"Okay, go line up quickly!"

Huang Jun stood up straight, patted the shoulders of the two kids, and pointed towards the already lined-up queue, encouraging them to join the upcoming autumn excursion activities.

"Mm hmm~"

Hand in hand, Qingqing and Weiwei bounced towards the queue.

"Qingqing’s dad, don’t worry, I’m here!" Yang Yuxi smiled as she walked over,

"With Miss Yang here, I’m not worried." Huang Jun turned around to face Yang Yuxi and said sincerely, "Oh, by the way, I’d like to ask you for a favor!"

"Go ahead!"

Yang Yuxi’s beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise, curiously waiting for Huang Jun’s follow-up.

He expressed his request, "Later, could I ask you to help take more photos?"

"Oh, that’s all!" Yang Yuxi covered her mouth with a light chuckle and nodded, "Rest assured, even if you didn’t ask, I’d take more photos of Qingqing and Weiwei anyway."

"Exactly, Qingqing’s dad, don’t worry, we’ll also take more photos of Qingqing and Weiwei." Lin Weilin volunteered, expressing his support.

Other accompanying parents also pitched in eagerly, expressing their willingness to help, "Yes, there’s us too! Even if my kids aren’t in the photos, we must capture Qingqing and Weiwei’s wonderful moments."

Good gracious!

You all are truly the parents!

Huang Jun found it both amusing and touching, thanked them, and then accompanied Qingqing and Weiwei as they entered the picturesque park.

They followed the winding path, passing through stunning flower clusters and lush greenery, moving towards the activity area.

Suddenly.

A voice unexpectedly rang out, "Chef Huang, what a coincidence to meet you here..."

This sudden call made Huang Jun subconsciously look over, and his gaze quickly landed on Li Huizhen not far away.

Thoughts of that line of impressive and orderly luxury buses crossed his mind, and he swiftly realized the current situation, "Director Li, it seems we really are destined, your kindergarten also chose this spot for the autumn outing!"

Just when Li Huizhen was about to establish a connection with Huang Jun, Liang Yinqiu came over with a gentle smile, slyly positioning herself between Huang Jun and Li Huizhen, interrupting their conversation, "Oh my, Director Li, the world is indeed full of wondrous connections. It’s both surprising and delightful to encounter each other here today."

Li Huizhen gazed at Liang Yinqiu’s amicable smile, yet her heart involuntarily rippled.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that Liang Yinqiu’s smile was—concealing a hidden agenda!

Just as she attempted to grasp this unexpected turn of events and the deeper meaning behind Liang Yinqiu’s smile, Liang Yinqiu naturally took her hand, and in a manner leaving no room for refusal, said, "Director Li, as the saying goes ’an impromptu meeting is better than a planned invitation.’ Since fate has arranged for us to reunite here today, why not take this rare opportunity to head over there and find a quiet spot for a good chat?"

With that, Liang Yinqiu gently held Li Huizhen’s arm, guiding her gently towards a more tranquil area...

Li Huizhen: "..."

Director Liang, this sudden warmth and intimacy, what purpose does it truly hold?

Is it purely for old times’ sake, or is there another motive attempting to hinder my further interaction with Huang Jun?

This answer is likely self-evident...

Surely, it’s the latter without a doubt!

Director Liang, you’re treating her like a thief now...
