Zan Guiying has never seen a dimple before. When that big brother smiled a small dent appeared on his left cheek.
What would be that? She wondered.
"You can call him big brother Jun." Grandpa De said to her.
"Can I?! Grandpa!?" She asked again.
"Yes."
"Then big bwother Jun, what is the hole in your cheek?" She asked her most important question to Longjun.
"What!!" Touching his left cheek, Longjun exclamed. "A hole!?!!"
"Ha ! Ha! Ha!!..." Hearing her question, elders around them began to laugh.
"Yingying, it's not a hole!! It's called dimple." Grandpa Zan explained to Zan Guiying.
"Oh!! Is it?!!! But why don't yingying have a dimple?" She asked.
"Only some people would have dimples". Bo Ehuang explained.
"Big brother Jun!! You look so cute."
De Longjun coughed.
"Is it because you have dimples?"
"I am not cute." De Longjun said angrily.
Hearing this Zan Guiying got afraid, and ran and hid behind her father.
"De Longjun!! Don't get angry at her." Grandpa De reminded his son.
Longjun turned silent and watched the kid who was hiding behind her daddy's leg.
"Sorry.."
"It's okay big brother Jun." She smiled.
"Now kids, go to the playground. We adults have something to discuss."
"Okay grandpa." Longjun replied to his grandfather. And beckoned Zan Guiying.
She looked at her father and he hummed to her.
Hearing her father's response, she stretched out her hand. Longjun grabbed her hand.
He felt her soft and small hands in his palm. And he looked at her. And they began to walk towards playground, hand in hand.

"So De Yuze, where are your other grandkids? How is your son and his wife?"
Grandpa Zan continued their conversation.
"They have gone to London for vacation."
"But why your elder grandson is still here?"
Grandpa Zan continued asking questions.
"Oh, it's that I had some works to do. Also he needs to study it. He is our family heir." Grandpa De pointed.
"I thought why he looked serious. Now l know the reason why." Zan Tengfei said.
"He looks serious. But he has a heart of gold". Grandpa De smiled.
"Now De Yuze, are you going back to Japan?" Grandpa Zan asked.
"No. We are going back to our family home in City A."
"The De bunglow! Is it?" Grandpa Zan.
"Yes." Grandpa De.
"Ha! ha! So we can meet all the time. Is it?"
"Yes. I hope our families become connected too."
Grandpa De turned towards Zan Tengfei and said.
"Also send your daughter to our house. She is so cute. My grandchildren could get friends with her."
"Yes Mr. De." Zan Tengfei gave his consent.
"Now you husband and wife should meet other guests." Grandpa De said to Bo Ehuang and Zan Guiying.
"Yes. You should. Let us elders talk." Grandpa Zan nudged his son and wife.
They both bowed their heads and walked towards other guests.
"May I ask one thing?" Bo Ehuang asked to Zan Tengfei while they were walking.
He looked at her.
"I heard that name before. De. But I couldn't place it. Who are they! Really?" Bo Ehuang asked.
"They are the world most richest family." Zan Tengfei replied.
"WHAT!! But they are so lowkey!! How? It's a wonder." Bo Ehuang gasped.
"You should not talk loudly. Zan Tengfei shushed her.
Hearing that she covered her mouth with her hands.
Zan Tengfei continued. "Yes. They are very lowkey. Some people doesn't even know De's existence. They have to be in the most elite circle to know about De's. We should be grateful that they acknowledge us."
"Okay. I will not talk about them." Bo Ehuang replied.
They continued their walk towards guests and started to exchange pleasantries.
