The water bucket seemed quite heavy, and Mrs. Liu was struggling.

Auntie Huang was baffled.

“Mrs. Liu, what’s this about?”

With a clatter, Mrs. Liu placed the bucket on the ground. “My hometown is by the harbor. My father brought these back with him. I came to deliver them as soon as possible.”

Auntie Huang breathed a sigh of relief. Since the incident with Mrs. Zhou, whenever a lady visited and looked distressed, she got stressed about it.

“We’re leaving on a trip tomorrow. We can’t take this with us,” said Auntie Huang. They wouldn’t be back for ten days. Although Mrs. Liu meant well, she couldn’t accept this.

“You can keep them in a freezer. They won’t spoil for a month.” Mrs. Liu saw Lin Wan’s travel plans in the group chat, so she brought some seafood with a long shelf life.

“Maybe you can wait for Wanwan to come back and ask her. I can’t take the liberty to accept this. You can come inside. She just called and is on her way.”

If it was just some sunflower seeds or peanuts, Auntie Huang might accept them, but an entire bucket of seafood probably was of significant value. If she accepted it without permission and Lin Wan disagreed, that would be troublesome.

Mrs. Liu nodded and followed her inside. Soon, Lin Wan arrived home with Li Zexin.

When they heard the car, they all walked into the courtyard.

“Mrs. Liu?”

“Wanwan…” Mrs. Liu explained why she was here.

Lin Wan accepted the seafood. Mrs. Liu then felt reassured and went back home.

In the evening, the Li family went to a restaurant on the Peak of Yun City. Li Zexin’s desire for Sichuan cuisine was mostly vetoed because the old women and Li Zekai handle spicy food.

In the end, they opted for an exquisite Cantonese restaurant.

Guided by the staff at the front desk, they all ascended to the 66th floor.

The entire elevator was on the exterior of the building and was surrounded by transparent glass that offered a view of the city’s night lights.

Auntie Bao was shocked. She found it hard to open her eyes during the entire journey through the elevator. Her hands gripped the rails tightly.

Lin Wan and Li Yanchen stood in front of the glass and blocked her view.

Soon, they arrived at the restaurant. The elevator doors opened, and another staff member bowed to welcome them.

Even those who had seen a lot were amazed by the decorations before them.

Next to the front desk stood two golden pillars, and a chandelier taller than a person hung in the center, with marble inside that could project shadows. The walls were adorned with three-dimensional jade murals.

After taking their seats, the waiter brought the plates. Each was of a unique design. Everything looked like a work of art.

Li Yanchen ordered a family set meal and added some signature dishes.

After dinner, they relaxed for a while and returned to Royal Water Bay. It was almost midnight.

The next day, Assistant Qin and Secretary Han headed to the Li residence together to drop everyone off at the airport.

The feeling of going on a family trip was always very pleasant.

The Li family, who had taken many flights, didn’t feel anything new after boarding. However, it was the first time for Auntie Huang and Auntie Bao. They held each other’s hands, and their faces turned pale with nervousness.

Lin Wan told stories all the way to help the two elderly ladies relax.

When they arrived at Yan City Airport, Assistant Qin had already arranged for some people to pick them up. He had also rented a car so that the Li family was traveling in comfort. The car was waiting right outside the airport.

After the plane landed, Auntie Bao finally let out a sigh of relief.

She laughed at herself. “Am I really that old? I can’t believe I was so scared to fly!”

“I was scared too. My stomach was knotted into a ball. It felt like everything inside was just dropping down,” said Auntie Huang.

“I’m scared too, but I just didn’t show it,” Lin Wan said in support of the two old ladies.

“Ms. Lin, there won’t be any storytelling on the plane anymore. I’m not afraid. When we return, you can sit next to me, and I’ll protect you,” said Li Zexin.

Li Zexuan pulled his younger brother aside, “Why are you everywhere? I’m the eldest son. Naturallv. I’ll take care of vou zuvs.”

Following that, the three children engaged in a verbal battle for family status. Lin Wan smiled and remained silent.

The temperature at Yan City was indeed much higher. The watch displayed 26 0 C. The few who had taken off their clothes on the plane took a deep breath.

“It’s like two different worlds.” Li Yanchen sighed.

The people who were there to pick them up were already waiting outside. Although they couldn’t see their faces clearly, the lineup made it clear that it was for Li Yanchen’s family.

A man waved from a distance. The seven of them split into two cars and headed to the homestay they had chosen.

When they reached their destination, a dedicated butler was there to receive them. After they put down their luggage, they headed to the homestay’s restaurant.

While it couldn’t compare to the Cantonese restaurant from the previous night, this restaurant had its own unique charm. They had a small kitchen and a single table facing it.

Li Yanchen took out his phone and asked the server to take some pictures of them. He then immediately posted them to the family group chat.

The three kids saved the pictures at the same time.

Li Zexuan took a selfie and selected two of the nicest photos from the collection. He posted them on Twitter with a caption: “Yan City, family feast, not a single one missing. This year’s New Year’s Eve is special.”

Li Zexin also posted photos on his Twitter. Although he didn’t have as many fans as his older brother, he still wanted to share this beautiful memory. His caption read: “First family trip, the south is warm, our hearts are warmer. Thanks to Ms. Lin for coming up with the idea.”

Li Zekai only had a WeChat account, and he didn’t have many friends on it. He pouted. In the end, he called his buddies one by one to tell them that he was in Yan City with his whole family.

After the calls, he still felt that it wasn’t quite enough. He called his homeroom teacher, Mr. Feng, and said, “Teacher Feng, I’m Li Zekai. I’m on a trip to Yan City with my parents, brothers, and grandmothers. It’s really warm here. Teacher, I’ll diligently complete my homework.”

Li Zexin gave his brother a thumbs-up. “You’re really something. You call your teacher just like that!”

“Hahaha, is it because Jiejie doesn’t have anyone to share with, so he called them one by one,” Li Zexuan said.

“It’s not like that! I’m an elementary school student, and elementary school students aren’t allowed to play with phones. Calling to share is better, they can know what I’m doing in real-time.”

Lin Wan patted Li Zekai’s head. “Did you really bring your homework? I remember your suitcase was filled with snacks and clothes.”

Li Zekai lowered his head in embarrassment. “Well, I had to come up with a reason for calling the teacher, right? I can’t just brag about a family trip.”

Auntie Huang also video-called her son. “Huang Huang, I’ve arrived in Yan City. I’m having dinner with Wanwan and the others. It’s so warm here. There’s even an old single best friend of mine accompanying me. Look, this is Auntie

Bao, this is Wanwan, this is Yanchen… Can you see how happy we all are? Tell Xiao Yan too. You don’t have to worry about me…”

Lin Wan and Li Yanchen were speechless.

Auntie Bao was also stunned. Why was she being teased for not having a family? She dialed Yang Yiren’s number..
