Although she said no at first, she still helped him out in the end. Throughout the entire ordeal, Ding Muchen was on tenterhooks. It wasn’t until she got off the Ferris wheel and saw that the area was completely empty that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
So I was just scaring myself for nothing. There’s no one here at all. Huh? The evening is supposed to be the busiest ti, and the Ferris wheel is a popular attraction. Why is it deserted?
She didn’t have to wait long for her answer. A park manager erged from a nearby corner.
"Mr. Sun, are you satisfied with the private booking?" the manager asked.
Sun Dasheng nodded. "It was worth every penny."
"Then we hope you’ll co again!"
"We definitely will."
Sun Dasheng left with Ding Muchen. In the car on the way back, she asked, "Brother Sun, when did you book out the park? How co I didn’t know? You were with the whole ti, weren’t you?"
Sun Dasheng simply smiled without a word. Why would I need to handle sothing like that myself? A single phone call to Sun Dacheng was all it took. He had extensive connections here, loved to make friends, and got it sorted out in no ti.
Seeing that he wasn’t going to say anything, Ding Muchen didn’t press the issue.
After dropping her off, Sun Dasheng headed ho—to Wu Xiaoli’s place, where she was resting during her pregnancy.
When Wu Xiaoli saw Sun Dasheng walk in with his arms full of shopping bags, a happy smile spread across her face, though she still chided gently, "Brother Sun, I’ve told you not to buy so much every ti you visit. The house is running out of space."
"This ti, none of it is for you," Sun Dasheng said, putting the bags in the storage room. He was busy in there for quite a while before he ca back out. "I’ve organized it into different sections," he explained. "There’s one for daily necessities, one for things you’ll need during the pregnancy, and another for things the baby will need later. It’s all sorted. Everything I bought today is for our future baby."
Hearing this, Wu Xiaoli couldn’t hide her beaming smile. She gently caressed her belly and spoke to the baby inside. "Baby, did you know? Even before you’re born, your daddy has already prepared everything for you. You have the best father in the world."
Sun Dasheng smiled at her words and squatted down in front of her, placing his hand on her barely-there bump. "And the baby has the best mother in the world," he said softly.
He then stood up, pulled her into a gentle hug, and stroked her back. "How have you been these past few days? Is the morning sickness any better?"
Wu Xiaoli rested her head on her lover’s shoulder and said blissfully, "Much better. The prescription from that traditional Chinese dicine doctor you found for is working wonders."
"Of course it is," Sun Dasheng said. "He’s a nationally-recognized master physician, state-certified, not so quack. His fee for a single consultation runs into seven figures."
Sun Dasheng was willing to spare no expense for his child.
"Have you eaten?" Wu Xiaoli asked.
"Not yet," he replied. Ding Muchen wanted to have dinner at ho, so we didn’t eat out earlier.
"Perfect. My mother made a lot of food, and there are plenty of leftovers. I’ll heat them up for you."
Wu Xiaoli started for the kitchen, but Sun Dasheng stopped her. "You’re pregnant. You need to take it easy. Try not to do any household chores from now on."
He heated up the leftovers himself and began to eat. Wu Xiaoli sat beside him, gazing at him adoringly. Her intense stare made him a little uncomfortable.
"What is it? Are you hungry too?" he asked.
"Heh heh," she chuckled. "It’s not my stomach that’s hungry... it’s sowhere else," she hinted suggestively.
Once a woman has a child and becos a mother, her words can beco even bolder than a man’s.
Sun Dasheng gave her an exasperated look. "For the safety of the baby, you’d better just endure it for now."
"Fine," Wu Xiaoli said, looking a little dejected.
A pregnant woman’s mood swings are perfectly normal. He spent the night holding her and whispering comforts until she fell asleep, which finally soothed her negative feelings.
「The next day.」
During breakfast, Wu Xiaoli brought up work. Sun Dasheng cut her off, "Just leave work matters to your deputy. You shouldn’t be worrying about that stuff right now."

A notification popped up from the long-silent system. Sun Dasheng quickly converted the points and withdrew the cash to his personal account, which was just about to run dry. He pulled up his system panel:
Protagonist: Sun Dasheng
Occupation: Investor
Level: 3 (1,000/10,000) Gray
Experience Points: 0
Withdrawable Value: 0
Personal Cash: 62.5M

The conversion rate this ti was an astonishing 88%. He checked the supporting character panel. Sure enough:
Supporting Character: Wu Xiaoli
Occupation: Chain Internet Cafe Manager
Bond Value: 88
The Bond Value had jumped to 88. Becoming pregnant with his child had raised it by a huge margin.
After breakfast, he got a call from Xiang Yiren. She said sothing had co up and asked him to head to the gym.
"What’s wrong?" Wu Xiaoli asked with concern.
"Just a small issue at the company that I need to handle," Sun Dasheng said, getting to his feet.
"Then you should go, don’t let it wait. Drive safely." Wu Xiaoli fetched his coat, helped him put it on, and walked him to the door.
Sun Dasheng leaned down and gave her a quick kiss. "You just stay ho and rest. Take good care of yourself."
「The gym.」
The mont his car ca to a stop, the passenger door was pulled open from the outside. "Brother Sun, you’re finally here!"
It was a very anxious-looking Xiang Yiren.
"What’s the rush? Why are you so flustered?" Sun Dasheng asked as he got out of the car.
Xiang Yiren grabbed his hand. "There’s no ti! Just co with , I’ll explain on the way."
Oh? This sounds like a tricky situation. For her, at least.
DING!
The system was triggered again.

Convert, he thought.

He then withdrew the funds to his personal account, bringing his cash balance to a new milestone: 119.3M.
