After the group finished their meal, they took a short break before reopening the teahouse. Bo Yiming, worried that his little dad might get tired, specially cleared a corner table for him to sit and keep track of the accounts. Unexpectedly, the table was right by the window, and when Wen Cishu sat there, he faced the ancient street directly. The afternoon sun cast a soft golden glow, and the bamboo blinds were lowered by a third, adding to the ancient charm. Wen Cishu, with his back bathed in the warm sunlight, focused on calculating the money.

Tourists passing by couldn’t help but stop and admire the handsome young man in blue traditional attire. Since they could only see half of his face, some even went into the teahouse just to get a better look at him. As soon as the tourists entered, the four little ones surrounded them, gently persuading them to sit down for tea and rest, and maybe take some photos. Even the usually silent Xingxing and shy Rongrong became lively under the influence of Yiming and Xiao Qi. The little ones chatted with the tourists, handling everything with ease.

The afternoon business was much better than in the morning. The four little bosses gathered together for a quick meeting and decided to close the shop early. After sending off the last table of guests, Bo Yiming shook the money bag and loudly announced, “We’re taking the money to go out and play!”

According to the plan they discussed earlier, Xingxing asked, “Uncle Zhou, can you be in charge of buying groceries?”

Zhou Xu raised Xiao Qi’s little hand and said, “Of course, no problem.”

“What about me?” Wen Cishu asked.

Rongrong tiptoed and pulled out a Hello Kitty instant camera from behind her. “Uncle, can you take pictures for us?”

Zhu Wei patted her daughter’s head and explained, “After last week, Rongrong immediately searched for the camera at home and insisted on bringing it this time. She even asked me to prepare extra photo paper.”

Wen Cishu bent down, took the camera with both hands, and squatted down to get closer to the soft little girl. “Then Rongrong, teach uncle how to use it.”

“Mm~~” Rongrong shuffled from her mom’s side to her uncle’s side, happily tugging at his clothes.

Chu Han asked her son, “Xingxing, what about me and Rongrong’s mom?”

Xingxing was a bit troubled, “Mom, you and auntie are easily recognized.”

Several tourists today immediately recognized Chu Han and Zhu Wei. Although it made the two big stars happy, they indeed needed to find a way to avoid being recognized if they went out on the street.

Chu Han was disappointed, “So we can’t go out and play?”

Zhu Wei wasn’t insistent on going out, “How about I stay and wait for Teacher Zhou to come back, and we prepare dinner together?”

Leaning against Rongrong, Wen Cishu suggested, “In ancient dramas, don’t they have veils for disguises?”

He gestured on his nose, “Do we have any here?”

“We do, I’ll go get them.” Bo Yiming remembered there were many handkerchiefs in the costume box, which he didn’t know what they were for earlier. He quickly ran over and came back, handing them to the two aunties.

Zhu Wei and Chu Han simultaneously held the slightly transparent white veils over their faces, revealing only their captivating eyes.

Chu Han instantly got into character, raising her hands in a delicate gesture and speaking in a high-pitched voice, “Greetings, sister.”

Zhu Wei laughed and returned the gesture, exaggerating her voice, “Sister, don’t be like that, you’re scaring me~”

Wen Cishu, holding little Rongrong, was amused and smiled broadly.

Bo Yiming held Xingxing’s hand, bouncing as he waved, “Alright. Let’s go. We’re going shopping!”

[Wife, that’s a great idea! The two sisters disguised as veiled beauties, so reasonable, so beautiful~ Kisses all around~]

[Chu Han and Zhu Wei have really loosened up this episode, becoming more fun!]

[Isn’t the big beauty going to disguise too? I want to see~]

[Mommy’s smile is so charming, I want to grab her and hug her~]

–

In the show.

The ancient street was bustling, and when the eight guests hit the street, they seemed to become part of the attraction. Some tourists even asked where they rented their high-quality traditional costumes.

Bo Yiming noticed that many passersby seemed to be looking for an excuse to talk to his little dad. Realizing this, he immediately moved to the outside, letting his little dad walk in the middle. He quietly glanced at the two aunties walking ahead. —He should also cover his little dad with a veil!

Wen Cishu was very interested in the antique stalls. After asking the owner, he picked up a gold-painted ink stick with plum and orchid designs to examine it.

“Yiming, why don’t you and your siblings go play elsewhere? Daddy will stay here for a while.”

“No way!” Bo Yiming nervously clung to him, “I have to protect little dad.”

Wen Cishu didn’t insist, putting down the ink stick and starting to study the tattered ancient books beside him. When he bent down and reached out, the white jade bamboo bracelet slipped a bit on his narrow wrist.

The antique stall owner immediately lit up, glancing at the exceptionally handsome young man, “Where did you get that bracelet?”

He craned his neck, looking around, “Did you buy it from our street too?”

“No.” Wen Cishu calmly withdrew his hand, pushing the bracelet back up into his sleeve.

The owner’s expression changed, smiling kindly, “Are you planning to sell it? I can offer you a good price.”

Wen Cishu shook his head with a gentle smile, “It was a gift from family, priceless in sentiment.”

Seeing his son about to speak, he subtly winked, “Let’s go, Yiming, let’s catch up with everyone.”

He nodded politely to the owner and left with his son.

The owner regretfully watched him leave, his gaze lingering on his wrist, seemingly hoping the bracelet would slip out for another look.

[Is the wife’s bracelet really valuable? The owner actually wanted to buy it?]

[In the last episode, someone analyzed it, saying it’s mutton fat jade, with each bead being identical in quality, very rare.]

[Still don’t know about Yiming’s family situation, ah! It’s driving me crazy!]

Before long, Zhou Xu had efficiently bought all the ingredients. The four little bosses discussed and decided to divide the remaining money into four equal parts, giving each family some pocket money for other purchases.

Bo Yiming handed his and his little dad’s share to him, “Little dad~ what do you want to buy?”

Wen Cishu put an arm around his shoulder, softly saying, “How about we pick a small gift for your big dad?”

“Huh?” Bo Yiming looked up, puffing his cheeks, pouting. He reluctantly said, “I thought little dad would buy me a gift.”

Wen Cishu pinched his cheek, “Being stingy? Then let’s buy two.”

Bo Yiming leaned on his little dad’s shoulder, “Hehe~ just kidding, let’s pick for big dad.”

He pointed to something not far away where Xiao Qi and the others were gathered, “Little dad, how about buying that? It’s red, big dad will definitely like it.”

“…” Wen Cishu laughed, “You’re buying big dad candied hawthorn.”

[Agreeing one second, tricking big dad the next?]

[Such a filial son, give him a good smack!]

Bo Yiming pulled his little dad forward, curiously asking questions to understand the flavors. The owner found his questions odd, “Kid, haven’t you had hawthorn before?”

Bo Yiming shook his head, “I’ve had ones with strawberries inside, and blueberries! Right, little dad? Grandma Zhong made them.”

Wen Cishu seriously recalled, seemingly never having encountered hawthorn candy before. “Buy a skewer to try.”

Bo Yiming took a bite. As he bit into it, he frowned, chewing the big hawthorn and mumbling, “Little dad, it’s so sour inside!”

Wen Cishu, seeing his expression, laughed, “Yes, the sourness is what makes it tasty.”

Bo Yiming stuck out his tongue, carefully putting the candy back into the paper bag, saying seriously, “Let’s save it for big dad.”

He winked at his little dad, mischievously smiling, “Big dad must love sour candy.”

Wen Cishu immediately thought of the lemon from that night, unable to hold back his laughter.

[Haha, all you think about is tricking big dad, huh? Truly a good son of yours.]

[Yiming, you’ve never had candied hawthorn before? Ah?! You’ve never been to any snack street?]

[Yiming’s life is too pitiful, let me live it for you, sob sob…]

[Sisters, there’s a scoop!! Yiming seems to have the surname Bo, a very rare surname.]

[Wow! Where’s the big beauty? I want to dig into this gossip.]

A single stone stirred up a thousand waves. The audience was already very interested in Yiming and his little dad, and now everyone was watching the live broadcast while eagerly digging into the gossip.

Some people on Little Sweet Potato started piecing together information about all the Bo family elites in the country based on the rare surname “Bo.”

Since Yiming is a special mixed-race child, it didn’t take long for someone to focus on the Bo family in Rong City.

[The Bo family isn’t just rich, they’re practically a financial empire, wealth beyond measure.]

[This family is so mysterious? There’s so little information online.]

[Is there a mixed-race person in the Bo family? A side branch, not the one in power, right?]

[If it’s the Bo family, why hasn’t anyone leaked anything? It’s so strange, I don’t quite believe it. Even if it’s the Bo surname, it might be a distant relative.]

[Or maybe it’s not related at all, and we’ve got it wrong.]

[Let the dust settle for a bit~ continue watching the variety show, sob sob, love the wife~~~~]

[I thought you guys would dig out mommy’s name! Keep it up, everyone! Try to find it before the show ends.]

In the comments of a highly popular post, someone shared a photo. The subject was a tall man in a black shirt and suit, wearing a black mask and glasses, walking briskly. Although his lower face was covered, through the mask’s height and the position of the glasses, you could see he had a sharply defined face and exceptionally chiseled features.

This person had an extraordinarily upright posture, standing out among the others in the picture, exuding an exceptional aura.

momo: [A big shot at an important Sino-French political and business meeting, also surnamed Bo. The photo was taken hurriedly as he was leaving. This big shot is mixed-race, and during the meeting, he switched between Chinese, English, and French effortlessly, leaving me in awe.]

[This side profile, dare to show a bit more?]

[The legs are really long, taller than the waist of the guy behind him, must be over 1.85 meters?]

momo: [The foreigners around him are about 1.8 meters, and he himself, measured on-site, is definitely 1.9 meters. Absolutely the aura of a super cold big shot from a movie, when he passed by with his entourage, none of us dared to breathe. PS: His eyes are a particularly mysterious green.]

[But Yiming’s eyes are tea-colored? Amber?]

[Can a Sino-French mixed-race have green eyes? That’s rare, right?]

[Didn’t any of you momo notice? This person wearing a black mask actually gives off a muzzle vibe? Sigh…]

[Wow, sister, you have a taste. (Thinking of the gentle smile and quiet coldness of the big beauty wife… sob, what do I do, I’m starting to ship them)]

[Help, I can’t stop shipping!! Yiming’s big dad sounds so gentle and spoiling to his wife. This muzzle handsome guy, I feel like he’s the complete opposite of spoiling his wife, okay?!]

[Muzzle handsome guy? You’ve betrayed yourself, hahaha!]

[Oops, typo, it’s mask handsome guy.]
