"Yun Dong, come on now, get up and play with me some more!" Su Chan's voice was as syrupy sweet as honeyed rock candy, but no matter how much she pouted and cajoled, Li Yun Dong remained stubbornly sprawled on the amusement park lawn, lacking even the energy to shake his head.

Seeing Li Yun Dong unresponsive, Su Chan deployed her ultimate weapon, cooing, "Master, I want more!"

Li Yun Dong covered his face with his hands and wailed, "I can't afford it anymore! If I give any more, people will die! I don't even have the strength to sit up!"

When Su Chan saw Li Yun Dong truly couldn't move, she reached out to pull him. Halfway to sitting up, she declared, "Get up, get up! How could you be like this? You promised to come play with me, and I’m not done yet!"

Li Yun Dong looked at Su Chan with an expression of utter agony. "My little ancestor, you've been on the Space Shuttle eight times, the Roller Coaster thirteen times, the Merry-Go-Round twenty-one times, the Splash Mountain thirty-two times... I—I truly can't take it anymore. We played from morning till afternoon and skipped lunch. Aren't you tired?"

Su Chan pouted stubbornly, "Not tired, not tired!"

Li Yun Dong let out a loud cry and collapsed dramatically back onto the grass. "I am tired! As the saying goes, there are only oxen worked to death, never land worn out from plowing!"

Su Chan caught the subtle meaning in his words and burst into giggles, her cheeks flushing as she playfully slapped Li Yun Dong. "Nonsense, what are you talking about?"

Li Yun Dong grinned mischievously and wrapped an arm around the young girl's waist. "Little lady, come here. You've dragged this old man through so many stunts, but we haven't tried the grass yet!"

Su Chan laughed heartily, jumping up and hopping a short distance away. "Ugh, you're annoying! Hurry up and get up. If we're not playing, I'm starving!"

Li Yun Dong lay flat on his back on the grass, sprawling his limbs, stubbornly declaring, "Not getting up! Not getting up even if you beat me to death!"

Su Chan bit her lip, a mischievous and cunning gleam flashing in her eyes. She picked a blade of grass and began relentlessly tickling Li Yun Dong's face, giggling, "Up or not up?"

Li Yun Dong adopted a posture of utter surrender, looking ready to be abused, and declared with the stubbornness of the dead: "Not getting up! A real man keeps his word, and I say I'm not getting up!"

The two of them frolicked on the grass—the man sunny and handsome, the woman charming and delicate—naturally drawing many curious glances. Some onlookers couldn't help but cover their mouths to stifle their laughter upon hearing their exchange.

Feeling self-conscious under the scrutiny, Su Chan finally dropped the blade of grass, crouched beside Li Yun Dong, and pleaded plaintively, "Then what will it take for you to get up?"

Li Yun Dong secretly chuckled, but adopted an expression of noble sacrifice. "You've worn me out like this; you figure it out!"

The young girl looked genuinely troubled for a moment, then tentatively suggested, "I'll give you a massage?"

Li Yun Dong flatly refused, "No way! You think a small favor can buy me off? Dream on!"

Su Chan puffed out her cheeks and offered, "Then I'll carry you back!"

Li Yun Dong looked genuinely surprised. "You can carry me?"

Su Chan snorted, "Underestimating me!"

Li Yun Dong spread his arms and smiled. "Fine, the little lady carries the old man today! This old man deserves a bit of glory!"

Su Chan made no ceremony about it; she crouched down, hoisted Li Yun Dong onto her back, and managed to lift him up with surprising ease.

Li Yun Dong gasped in amazement, "Oh my goodness, you actually lifted me? Not bad!" Wanting to playfully cause Su Chan some trouble, he deliberately exerted downward pressure.

Having cultivated his Qi successfully, Li Yun Dong's energy sank, giving his weight far more than a thousand pounds. Even though Su Chan was also cultivating, she couldn't handle such a prank, and her steps immediately became unsteady.

Stumbling along, Su Chan shouted good-naturedly, "Stop messing around, or I won't be able to hold you!"

The surrounding tourists couldn't help but laugh in amazement as they watched the big, burly man being carried by a delicate, exquisite young beauty. Men with girlfriends immediately pointed at Li Yun Dong and declared, "See that? That's a real man, that’s a good wife! You all learn from him!"

Hearing this, the girlfriends immediately erupted, grabbing their men by the ear and pointing them toward the ground. "What? Squat down and carry me!" they commanded, their tone sharp and decisive, clearly accustomed to issuing orders.

The male compatriots, long subjugated by their partners' authority, could only gloomily squat down and lift their own wives. The women, for a moment, were utterly triumphant, especially when their husbands passed by Li Yun Dong; they even gave Su Chan a deliberately provocative glare.

"Oh no, they're passing us!" Li Yun Dong shouted, carefree despite being carried by a beautiful woman.

Su Chan shouted back just as cheerfully, "Stop fooling around, I'm falling behind!"

Li Yun Dong burst into laughter and stopped teasing her. He shamelessly waved his hand authoritatively: "Charge! If you fall behind, you're grounded from dinner!"

The nearby tourists shuddered in mock horror: That's too harsh! Is he treating her like a child bride? Now that is true flower-crushing brutality!!

Hearing this, Su Chan immediately panicked and took off running, sprinting forward. For a delicate young girl to run at that speed while carrying a man of Li Yun Dong's stature (five feet nine inches) was faster than the men carrying their wives, leaving the onlookers utterly dumbfounded.

Su Chan carried Li Yun Dong and ran swiftly, soon leaving everyone else behind. Li Yun Dong laughed loudly and patted Su Chan's head. "Alright, alright, put me down. If you don't put me down soon, I'm going to be ganged up on!"

Su Chan, with the playful temperament of a child, had no idea how much her actions had shocked everyone. She giggled, "I won, I'm the best!"

Li Yun Dong affectionately pinched the tip of the young girl's nose. "Yes, yes, of course you're the best! Hmm, as a reward, I’ll buy you ice cream!"

Su Chan beamed, "Great! I want the waffle cone we had last time!"

Li Yun Dong smiled. "Okay, wait for me here for a second? I'll be right back?"

Su Chan hesitated slightly. "Ah? You're leaving me alone here?"

Li Yun Dong laughed. "Are you afraid I'll lose you? I'm buying it right over there, silly girl!"

Li Yun Dong pointed toward the McDonald's not far away, and Su Chan finally relaxed, waving cheerfully at him. "Then hurry up!"

Li Yun Dong smiled and turned to leave.

Su Chan stood still, smiling sweetly. She watched Li Yun Dong intently, feeling that time spent with this young man was always filled with joy and excitement; even a second away from him felt like an unbearable ache.

The innocent little fox stood near the amusement park exit, her beauty causing passersby to stop and stare in awe. A man in a sharp suit spotted Su Chan at once and was instantly captivated. He rushed to the flower shop next to the park, bought a huge bouquet, and approached Su Chan, presenting the flowers with both hands. "Beautiful lady, you are the most gorgeous girl I have ever seen. Would you accept my flowers?"

This was the first time the young girl had ever been given flowers, and she looked up at the man in confusion. "Who are you?"

The man in the suit immediately pulled out a business card, smiling broadly. "Here is my card."

The young girl didn't even glance at it, only looking curiously at the man before her. "I asked who you are? What is this thing you're giving me?"

The man wore Versace and a Vacheron Constantin watch; his appearance immediately marked him as someone who considered himself an elite. Full of self-regard, he adjusted his collar, maintaining what he thought was a perfect smile, and said, "If you look at this, you will know who I am and what I do."

The young girl murmured an 'Oh,' took the card, and read the bold, golden lettering aloud: "Chairman and CEO of Rongwei International Finance Corporation, Rong Guofa."

As Rong Guofa listened to the young girl read his title and name word by word, he felt the surrounding gazes fill with admiration and shock. With every word she spoke, he gazed proudly to his left and right, his chin tilted high, as if proclaiming: Worship me! Come into my arms, beautiful one!

The tourists nearby watched with cool detachment, observing a scene replayed countless times in real society: the battle between money and love.

How many women in real life ultimately abandoned love for security? How many corpulent tycoons paraded around with greedy young women, flaunting their arrogance to the world?

Rong Guofa, relying on his business card and wealth, had broken down the defenses of countless beautiful young women. In his mind, there was no woman in the world that money and fame couldn't conquer!

Therefore, his smile was arrogant and impossibly self-assured.

But the next sentence from Su Chan made that smile vanish.

The young girl asked with pure, guileless innocence, "What is a Chairman? And what is a CEO?"

The surrounding tourists erupted in loud laughter.

Rong Guofa's eye twitched. He thought to himself: Is this girl messing with me?

But looking at Su Chan, he sensed her innocence wasn't feigned. He was truly astonished: No way, is there really such a purely innocent girl in this world? A rare find! I absolutely have to win her over!

Rong Guofa patiently explained the prestige associated with being a Chairman and CEO, only to hear Su Chan say with sudden realization, "Oh, so you mean the owner and the manager! Hey, why didn't you just say so!"

Su Chan finished speaking and casually slapped Rong Guofa's shoulder. "You run a business? Not bad, being both the owner and the manager. Pretty good, pretty good!"

The crowd burst into fresh roars of laughter, nearly falling over themselves.

Rong Guofa was internally furious enough to spew blood, staring hard at Su Chan. He thought: Is this girl deliberately trying to make a fool of me?

Despite his rage, he tried to maintain his composure; his smile looked incredibly strained and ugly. "W-well, it's not quite like that."

Rong Guofa choked back his anger and said, "My company is a multinational financial investment firm, managing billions in investments. It's not some simple owner-manager affair."

Su Chan nodded slowly, pretending to understand. "Oh? So what do you do?"

Rong Guofa puffed up his chest again, showing off. "Me? I don't really do much; I'm hardly ever at the company..." He started to say he did little work, but fearing Su Chan would look down on him as incompetent, he quickly added, "Well, I oversee everything—gold investment, fund investment, currency investment—I manage it all!"

Su Chan looked genuinely surprised, a look of wonder in her eyes. "You handle everything? Absolutely everything?"

Rong Guofa straightened his collar, putting on a profoundly weary expression, as if burdened by his own genius. "Yes, there's nothing I don't know how to do. So, I'm generally very busy, managing hundreds of thousands every second."

Su Chan gasped. "Wow? Doesn't that mean you handle the jobs of the owner, the manager, and the waiter all at once? A triple threat? Aren't you exhausted?"

The crowd roared with laughter, practically doubled over.

Rong Guofa was so depressed he felt like vomiting blood, staring hard at Su Chan, thinking: This girl must be doing this on purpose!
