While Ye Chaoxiang was talking to the man behind the counter, some ladies were gossiping about them.

"Wow such a nice pair of father and daughter," a lady sitting at a table close to the counter admired them.

"The kid looks so cute."

"Look at those gray coloured eyes. Are they foreigners?"

"I don't care where they are from, but the man looks handsome and hot." The three women sharing the table with the first lady that spoke continued to drool at Ye Chaoxiang's manliness and Lee Ai's cuteness.

"Do you want extra toppings on your ice cream?" The man asked again. Ye Chaoxiang looked at Lee Ai whose gaze had not parted from the ice cream the man was preparing for them.

"What do you think about toppings on your ice cream, princess?" Ye Chaoxiang shook her lightly to bring her out of her fantasy.

"Do you want it?" Lee Ai answered his question with her own question. The waiter chuckled at her cuteness making Lee Ai pout to hide her embarrassment.

"I am not the one eating the ice cream, you know. So you decide."

"What? You want me to eat that alone? No fair. Besides you are the one buying it, so you decide," Lee Ai played smart. "Fine fine. We will go with the toppings please," Ye Chaoxiang decided.

"Oh my! Shawn's got a wonderful customer. Goodday mister, hello there sugar. How are you?" a lady exclaimed behind the man, Shawn.

"I'm fine," Lee Ai replied politely.

"Ah boss, good morning," Shawn immediately greeted the lady.

"Good morning. Sir you have cute kid," she said smiling genuinely at Lee Ai.

"Thank you," Ye Chaoxiang smiled lightly. They were all smitten by his little princess. He was proud.

"Shawn, add an extra scoop in this cutie's order. It's on me."

"Ye ma'am."

"There is no need for that miss," Ye Chaoxiang refused politely.

"Please I insist. It's not everyday we get such pretty and well-behaved kids at our parlor. Take it as a buy one take one promo."

"It seems I can't refuse then. Thank you."

"Thank you aunty," Lee Ai beamed. After paying for the ice cream, they left the parlor to boarded the car and zoomed off to Yang Chen's house.

*******

"Woah! Chenchen's house is so big. It looks like were fairies live in. So many trees and flowers and all," Lee Ai expressed. They had just arrived at the Yang's mansion, where Yang Chen and Yang Chenguang, his mother lived.

The driver stopped the car and opened the door for them as Ye Chaoxiang was trying to clean the mess Lee Ai had made in there car while Lee Ai ran out. When she was told that they had reached Yang Chen's home, she stood up in excitement causing the ice cream on her lap to spill.

"Little Miss don't run you might fall down," the shouted and started running behind her. Mrs Yang who just step out of the house to welcome them saw a little kid running around the mini fountain at the center of the compound and the driver trying to keep up with her. Then she saw Ye Chaoxiang stepping out of the car so she went to him.

"Good morning mum," Ye Chaoxiang greeted with a boyish smile on his face and gave her a hug. "Ooh I missed you. My you have grown so big and handsome," Yang Chenguang threw comments.

"And you still know how to sweet talk." Turning towards the little kid that was running around the compound, moving from one flower to another, Yang Chenguang asked him a question.

"So is that the little girl Yang Chen kept blabbing on about for a whole week?"

"Yeah, I guess," Ye Chaoxiang smiled at the scene playing before his eyes. Lee Ai ran towards Ye Chaoxiang with a daisy flower in her hand. It was already lifeless.

"Handsome doctor look at this cutie. It's dying. Quick treat it," Lee Ai held up the flower while pulling lightly on his trouser. How could he, a human doctor treat an already dead daisy flower? This kid has no idea of what she was asking.

"Oh no honey, that flower is already dead. It can't be treated and Chaoxiang can only treat people like you and me not plants or animals. Now throw that thing away. You will stain yourself," Yang Chenguang said.

"But the flower, it-"

"Listen to her princess," Ye Chaoxiang interrupted her. He scooped her into his arms and introduced her to Yang Chenguang.

"Mum this is my little angel, Lee Ai. Angel this is Chenchen's mummy. Say hello."

"Is Chenchen's mummy your mummy?" She dropped another question.

"She is not my birth mother but I like to call her mum because I see her as one. Do you understand?"
