Huo Jihan, holding a business magazine, replied, "Not really, just a little while ago."

Huo Mianmian slid off the sofa and ran over to him, lifting his chubby face to look at him.

Lin Yi smiled and patted his head: "Mianmian, what's up?"

Why so enthusiastic this early in the morning?

Huo Mianmian answered in a baby voice: "Dad, I haven't seen you in ages!"

He hadn't seen much of Lin Yi yesterday, which made him miss him very much.

Lin Yi felt guilty and instinctively glanced at Huo Jihan.

He had indeed been absorbed in dating Huo Jihan these past two days, neglecting their little one.

Lin Yi looked away and squatted down to Huo Mianmian: "Don't worry, sweetheart. I'll spend more time with you from now on, and I love you the most."

Hearing that Lin Yi loved him the most, Huo Mianmian's eyes curved into a smile: "I love Dad the most too!"

The father and son chatted warmly for a while, then held hands and went to the dining room for breakfast.

Huo Jihan, left alone on the sofa: "..."

Suddenly, the magazine in his hand seemed uninteresting.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Ji Yunchuan called to remind them it was time to leave.

So Lin Yi and the others got ready and headed out.

Since they were going to the beach, Lin Yi and Huo Mianmian dressed up specially.

Father and son wore matching short-sleeved shirts and suspenders, topped with large woven hats.

When they looked up and smiled together, they were the most eye-catching sight.

The older one had bright, flirtatious eyes that sparkled like the brightest stars when he smiled.

The younger one was adorable, with chubby cheeks and sweet dimples when he smiled.

Watching his wife and son, Huo Jihan felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.

In the past, he lacked such tender feelings, treating everything with a cool and rational attitude, making him seem distant and hard to approach.

But now, those cold and hard parts seemed to be changing, becoming more human and warm.

By one o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at the seaside scenic area.

It was breathtakingly beautiful, leaving one speechless.

Warm sunlight shone down, and a gentle breeze blew.

The azure sea, pristine sandy beach, and some coconut trees...

Many people had come. Apart from Lin Yi's family of three, there were also Ji Yunchuan and Qin Ling, as well as other young masters and ladies invited by Ji Yunchuan.

However, due to the presence of Huo Jihan, they didn't dare to get too close. After calling out "Big Brother Huo," they quickly scurried away.

After all, Huo Jihan's intimidating presence in the upper echelons wasn't just for show. Those who saw him acted like mice seeing a cat, trying to stay as far away as possible.

But this also meant fewer people to disturb them.

Lin Yi held Huo Mianmian's hand, took off his shoes, and happily walked on the sandy beach together.

Few people came to this area since it was members-only, and many were deterred by the high membership fees.

Thus, playing here was more enjoyable.
