It surprised the woman when she notices someone familiar amongst the group. When she realized who it was, she was taken aback and became flustered. She turned around to avoid facing the man.
"Why did he come all of a sudden..." she mumbled to herself.
Yun Shen notices the girl's expression, his lips slightly twitched about to smile.
'Silly girl, why are you hiding your face from me all of a sudden.'
Madam Yun was surprised to see the gentle expression written all over his son's face. She was completely dumbfounded and wonder if his son has really fallen for the girl.
'Dear Lord, has Shen really fallen for the girl. She is indeed an amazing girl, but right now that old man won't approve of her... Despite, she has a promising career, she is someone inferior in the man's eye...'
The children run to their guardians and parents, as they showed them and told them stories of how they picked the different vegetables.
"Mother, did you know I dug the potatoes myself? There were even worms coming out of the ground, but I wasn't scared at all."
"Grandfather, you have to try the tomatoes. They're so sweet and we washed them already so you can eat it right away."
The woman slowly turned around and was startled to see the man standing behind her already. Before she could react, the man pushed aside some of her hair behind her ear revealing her beautiful face.
Yun Shen then grabs the basket of vegetables from her. "Let me carry that for you..."
Everyone saw what just happened, and they became all excited that they couldn't contain themselves.
"Oh my, he is a good husband indeed. He cares so much for his lovely wife."
"Honey, why aren't you like that to me. When I'm working in the kitchen and cooking, you never check on me."
"How I wish my son-in-law would also treat my daughter like that."
The woman felt like burying her face to the ground. Even though they weren't too close to where everyone was standing, she can still clearly hear what they were talking about. Just thinking about it makes the girl flustered as her face soon turned into a tomato.
'What were the elders thinking? Me and Chairman Yun... Have they've completely lost it. Uh... I can't take this anymore.'
Little Yan grabs hold of the woman's hands, as the three of them walked back to the group together as they placed all the ingredients down the table.
"Auntie let go and catch some fish now."
"Auntie I want to come with you too."
The parents and elder didn't mind leaving their children under the woman's care. Since they have witnessed how well she handled all of them.
Despite her timid personality, the little girl bravely joined it with the other kids.
Seeing the little girl was getting along so well with the other children at the same time was interacting with them, she felt proud like a mother. She didn't ponder on what the elders were saying and shouted.
"Alright then. Let's go!"
...
They followed the owner of the farm again to the fish pond where they farm and cultured fish. There were two ways of catching the fish one pond where you need to use a rod while one where you need to use your bare hand. They all decided to go for the bare hand...
"Alright everyone don't be scared, okay... Just follow Auntie and remember I'm right behind you."
As the children went inside the fish pond, they soon felt the fish swimming around their feet. They soon started running around, trying to catch the fish as the elders just watch from the corner.
"Haha, come one Ling you can do it. Just a little more..."
"Jinjin, don't be afraid... Your Auntie is with you, make sure to catch a big fish okay."
The elders encourage their children and cheered for them as they took pictures and videos of them trying to catch a fish. Amongst them was Madam Yun secretly taking pictures of her granddaughter bonding with the woman.
...
Moments later, each child was able to catch a fish.
"Auntie, I caught one."
"I did too..."
"Auntie, it's so slippery."
Even Little Yan was able to catch one with the help of her Auntie Li Zi.
Everyone was satisfied with the result, the fact that each child was able to catch a fish by themselves.
Before they left the pond, they all gather together and took a picture.
Madam Yun was glaring at his son telling him to go in the fish pond so she can take a picture of the three of them.
It surprised everyone when they saw the man removed his shoes at the same time rolled up his pants. He then went inside the pond, grab the little girl and stand beside the woman.
"Don't move..." Madam Yun beamed please of his son's obedience towards her.
The woman was utterly shocked to see the man suddenly standing by her side, seeing everyone was watching them. She ignored it for now and smile as if they were indeed a family.
Madam Yun had teary eyes, seeing the picture she took, her heart felt so warm seeing how cozy his son and granddaughter was towards the girl.
Yun Shen got out of the pond first with Little Yan in his arms. He then helps the children out one at the time.
When it was the woman's turn, he reached out his hand to her and just like a prince, he said, "Give me your hand..."
The words that came out of the man's mouth struck the girl directly in her heart as it started racing again and butterflies in her stomach flying around.
The woman reached out her hand to the man whilst averting her face from him. She could no longer take the man's ridiculous romantic affection being displayed.
'Chairman Yun, what are you doing? The elders are all looking at us, your mother is even here yet you dare do and say something so outrageous. Are you out of your mind?'
Yun Shen notices the woman's worn-out expression. He felt like laughing seeing how stressed out she is because of him.
'I'm sorry to have pain you, but you have caused me so much pain as well, you just don't know it yet...'
