Fortunately, after a thorough examination, it was found that, aside from Sheng Xia’s minor muscle strain, there was nothing major.

The production team and everyone else sighed in relief, and then, exhausted, returned to the villa.

The cameras had all been turned off by now. It wasn’t until then that everyone had the energy to discuss what had happened earlier.

Yi Yangyang and Yin Qinya clearly knew they were in the wrong. So, when Sheng Xia had them stand in the front, receiving the scrutiny of everyone, even though they felt embarrassed, they obediently followed her instructions.

Their faces were completely red, extending down to their necks. Standing at attention, hands neatly pressed to the seams of their pants, chest out, stomach in, eyes staring straight ahead, they had a somewhat heroic and resigned look.

Seeing their comical appearance from head to toe, even if the adults were still a bit annoyed, they couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing.

“Alright, I’m ready.”

Sheng Xia sat in the middle, comfortably leaning against Feng Yan. Occasionally, she ate the fruits handed to her by Tao Rou and Le Chuxin. She said, “Yangyang and Yaya, you can start telling your adventure story now. It must be quite exciting, right?”

The two children: “… Wuwu, not exciting at all.”

It turned out that after enjoying the activities at the seaside park, the production team arranged for the children to collect seashells as a surprise gift for their parents.

Unexpectedly, Yi Yangyang and Yin Qinya both spotted a beautiful orange seashell at the same time and started arguing over it, neither willing to give in.

Unable to determine a winner, they decided that whoever collected the most seashells in the end would get the orange one.

They kept a watchful eye on each other, even when scolded and educated by Feng Jingxu and the staff, continuing to make faces at each other defiantly. They even took advantage of distractions to sneak away to the beach.

Unknowingly, they ran farther and farther until they realized the tide had risen and trapped them on the rocks.

After gloomily finishing their confession, their faces were now red with shame. They bowed to the adults, apologizing voluntarily, “Sorry, it’s our fault. We shouldn’t have argued and wandered off like that.”

“Uh, is that it? Did you leave out something at the end, like after the adventure story, a real hero unexpectedly appeared to rescue them from danger?” Sheng Xia’s eyes gleamed, hinting playfully. “Maybe someone truly heroic saved them?”

The two little adventurers: “…Yes.”

Knowing this was the perfect time to bond with the children, Sheng Lanqiu kindly spoke, “Alright, now that the kids know they were wrong, let it go, Sister. Believe that they won’t make the same mistake again in the future.”

She sighed with a hint of reluctance, “This experience was quite terrifying for them, repeatedly recounting it might make the kids even more frightened.”

Although she said that, she couldn’t help but glance at the worried expressions of Yin Qinya and Yi Yangyang. Their eyes revealed a sense of satisfaction.

Thankfully, her own child was becoming more well-behaved, unlike those two little troublemakers who could do such things.

Back then, the online comments criticized her, saying she couldn’t educate children and accused her of exploiting and traumatizing them psychologically. Now, hasn’t it been proven that her parenting style was correct?

However, just as she was feeling triumphant, her stepson, who appeared calm and obedient, suddenly raised his head and said, “But Mom, this isn’t right.”

Sheng Lanqiu was taken aback, then heard him earnestly say, “Yangyang and Yaya did make a mistake this time. They should apologize and get Aunt Xia Xia’s forgiveness.”

Surprised by her stepson’s straightforward contradiction, a surge of anger rose in Sheng Lanqiu’s heart. Considering Shiyu Lin was nearby, she forced herself to maintain a composed expression, suppressing her emotions.

She had sensed it correctly before – when did Shi Yue become so disobedient?

“You’re right. Easily forgiving them will make them think it’s no big deal. They need to genuinely realize their mistake to avoid repeating it in the future.”

At that moment, Bai Jing couldn’t hold back and interjected, rolling her eyes at Sheng Lanqiu, “How come you’re less sensible than a child? You’re acting confused at a time like this.”

Just as Sheng Lanqiu was about to say something, Shi Yulin pressed her shoulder and whispered with a slightly impatient tone, “Enough, Lanlan. Don’t say anything more. This isn’t something you should get involved in. Know your boundaries.”

Understanding boundaries? Since when did Shiyu start speaking like this?

Not understanding what had happened, the once familiar individuals seemed to gradually slip out of her control. The situation began spiraling out of control, turning into a mess.

Sheng Lanqiu felt panic and anger rising within her. She dug her nails into her palm, the sharp pain clearing her mind a bit.

Taking a deep breath, she bit her lip and apologetically said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that way. I neglected Sister’s feelings. Sister, you won’t hold it against me, right?”

“Of course not! I’m so generous and tolerant. How could I possibly hold a grudge against a living Bodhisattva like you?”

Leaning against Feng Yan, Sheng Xia smiled and spoke with a hint of teasing, “But, sister, it’s been hard for you to come down to earth. Listen to your sister’s advice and go buy a plane ticket back to Leshan. There’s a big Buddha there. Let him go, and you can go back to your place. I think that would be nice.”

Sheng Lanqiu: “…”

After the ungrateful person finally shut up, the two little adventurers enthusiastically concluded their “hero saves young warriors” story, using every bit of praising language to repeatedly commend Sheng Xia and Feng Jingxu’s heroic deeds.

They praised Feng Jingxu so much that his face turned distortedly red with embarrassment. Unable to bear the shame, he wanted to leave, but Sheng Xia finally called a halt, not wanting to let go of the topic.

Then, after a while, Sheng Xia asked with a satisfied smile, “Will you still embark on adventures in the future?”

“Of course, if you want to adventure again, feel free to tell me about your brave deeds, Yaya and Yangyang.”

The two children suddenly shivered, shaking their heads as if playing a tambourine, fearing she wouldn’t believe them. They solemnly raised their hands and swore, “No more! We promise!”

—”Absolutely! No more!!”

Later, because everyone was tired, they hastily had dinner and returned to their rooms, waiting for the next day’s departure.

It wasn’t until they returned to their rooms that Sheng Xia looked at the man who had silently entered. She realized he hadn’t said a word since leaving the yacht.

She tilted her head, belatedly realizing: Oh, is Mr. Feng angry?
