In the days that followed, the Shen Family began a strategic counterattack, gradually regaining lost ground, and Shen Zongyuan was away from home for several days in a row.
The spacious villa often saw Wang Daniu and Fang Yuan leading Niuniu as they played and frolicked on the lawn.
"Son, be careful, don't get all muddy." Fang Yuan shouted from under a tree as she saw Niuniu splashing in a mud puddle.
But Wang Daniu kept shouting, "Son, play to your heart's content for your old man, don't listen to your mom."
"Ah, you big brute, you're so annoying," Fang Yuan said as she punched Wang Daniu with her little fists.
With a little effort, Wang Daniu pulled Fang Yuan into his arms, and the two of them fell onto the grass, wrestling and tumbling together.
"Giggle giggle giggle..." Fang Yuan, lying on top of Wang Daniu, began to laugh and it took a while for her to stop.
The two of them lay side by side on the grass under the tree, enjoying the comforting caress of the breeze.
