An Hao didn’t reach out, instead he looked at Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian: "..." Was she that timid?

But this was Deng Ming’s kind gesture, so she smiled and nodded to An Hao.

Only then did An Hao accept the red envelope, revealing a sweet smile: "Thank you, Uncle Deng. I’ll bring you a gift when I go home, too."

"I’ll be waiting then." Deng Ming laughed heartily, filled with appreciation for An Hao. After all, kids who are so considerate these days are indeed rare.

And the most important thing was, he really wanted a gift, a gift from Luo Qianqian’s family.

"...Uncle Deng, I’ve already sent your gift, you’ll see it when you get home, so please don’t look at me like that..."

Luo Qianqian shivered at Deng Ming’s meaningful gaze, feeling speechless. Why did it feel so weird? Could it be that she was less sensible than a child?

You know, this very sensible child is from her family!

"Hehe." Deng Ming, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Deng Ming, in his military uniform, made everyone in the store fall silent, not daring to speak. After all, someone like him standing here represented certain things...

They had certainly kicked the iron plate this time.

It was this seemingly ordinary pair of siblings!

"Who dares to cause trouble in my store! Do the guys like Da Xiong just eat and do nothing?!" Soon, the store door was pushed open again, and in came a middle-aged man with an impatient face. He had two walnuts in his hand, a bracelet on his wrist that had been polished and worn over an undefined number of years.

He wore a flashy Hawaiian shirt, jeans, and incongruous dress shoes. Around his neck was a thick gold chain, so gaudily vulgar, with a pair of sunglasses perched on his head, the logo conspicuously large, making him look skyward.

But immediately, he saw the three guests in the room, recognizing the girl and the child immediately, just this uniform...

He took a look at the shoulder badge and couldn’t help but gasp.

What the heck, where did this star-crossed fellow come from?!

Such a character coming to look at animals? What an international joke is that? There’s nothing special about this zoo!

"Uncle Deng, the guys who just eat and do nothing were beaten up by me and An Hao..." Luo Qianqian blinked at Deng Ming: "Uncle Deng, you see..."

"See what? An Hao is still so young, and you let him do it? What kind of sister are you?!" Deng Ming was startled. Luo Qianqian wasn’t the reckless type! But clearly, this...

"I have to protect my sister!" An Hao quickly said.

Deng Ming looked warmly at An Hao: "Such a well-behaved good child you are."

An Hao immediately furrowed his brows, his little face full of conflict.

Deng Ming asked puzzledly: "What’s wrong?"

"Uncle Deng, it might be a bit impolite, but only my sister can call me ’good child’." An Hao looked seriously at Deng Ming: "Uncle Deng can just call me An Hao."

Deng Ming: "..." He felt a little choked.

Luo Qianqian burst out laughing, ruffling An Hao’s hair: "This kid doesn’t like being called a good child, but he’s more lenient with me, Uncle Deng can only be envious."

Deng Ming was exasperated and amused, nodding: "An Hao treats you so well and you don’t even appreciate it, I’ve never seen a sister like you."

Luo Qianqian: "..." Didn’t she care about An Hao? How could that be?! But...

"Bleh, bleh, bleh."

"Haha, it’s all a misunderstanding, it’s because the weather is too hot and the ingredients weren’t stored properly! How do you want to handle it? I’m the owner here, this is my card." The shop owner stepped forward with a smile, handed over a business card, and laughed apologetically at Deng Ming, then clapped his hands. The impeccably dressed young man behind him pulled out a stack of bills from a leather bag he carried, enough to cover the fines.

But it was clear that this person wasn’t perceptive enough to recognize who was leading among the three people in front, and the people in front didn’t care about this small amount.

An Hao calmly took out the jade pendant hanging from his neck: "Sis, last time our big uncle said this pendant is quite expensive, right? Can these buy it? If so, let’s buy one for Xiao Tian too?"

Luo Qianqian silently lowered her head, was An Hao mocking the other party? Was she overthinking it? An Hao was just a child after all...

"A mere jade pendant can be bought with..." The shop owner’s words stopped abruptly, his sight fixed on An Hao’s neck, the clear feeling full of vitality...

"Is it from Nine Heavens Pavilion..." the shop owner swallowed, hesitantly looking at Deng Ming for an answer.

Unfortunately, Deng Ming had no interest in providing an answer.

The door was pushed open once more: "Go check the back kitchen, hey, Old Deng, you’re here. I recognized that car! Oh, is this the niece you mentioned? She’s truly a beauty." A nonchalant man in a white shirt walked into the shop, gave orders to the people behind him, and then walked straight towards Deng Ming: "My brother said he couldn’t get away at the last minute, so he asked me to help, how about it, shouldn’t you thank me properly?"

Deng Ming only felt that his mental resilience needed improvement, with his forehead veins throbbing: "Get to your work, or next time you won’t get anything from us!"

Speaking of which, Deng Ming wanted to cry, last time the good stuff Luo Qianqian shared was snatched by this bunch of friends! After dividing it up, they still periodically inquired and occasionally searched the house, afraid to miss it!

"Does that mean there’s more?" The man looked excited: "Then I’ll bring my brother to your place tonight!"

"Where did your brother go? Why are you here?" Deng Ming only felt he got a raw deal this time...

"He just had a car accident right out the door, the other party hit my brother’s car then hit a wall, seriously injured and comatose. So I’m the closest, I came." The man sighed: "After all, we couldn’t imagine you actually being interested in visiting a zoo..."

Deng Ming glanced at Luo Qianqian, sighed. He was speechless at the fool in front of him.

Not recognizing Luo Qianqian aside, he acted like an elder, playfully teasing An Hao...

Need to know, those highly praised special products came from the girl in front of him!

An Hao silently leaned against Luo Qianqian, quietly asking: "Sis, he’s not an idiot, is he?"

Luo Qianqian really wanted to ask...

"I didn’t bring any gifts this time, this is for you, go play, you must have just finished the college entrance exams, right? Young people should hang out here, staying away from those chaotic places to avoid learning the wrong things."

Looking at the card before them, Deng Ming and Luo Qianqian were collectively silent.

But Luo Qianqian was quite surprised because even the primary membership card of Shangqi Club now was worth 500,000, and needed a recommendation to apply. As a gift from an elder meeting for the first time, it wasn’t light.
