Book 1: Chapter 10: Let’s Go to the Amusement Park!

“Thank you.” Sirin looked somewhat embarrassed. freewebnov(e)l

“Do you like these clothes?”

“Yes, I like them. They give me a special feeling when I look at them.” Sirin nodded vigorously.

“Since you dressed up like this, we can’t go to the night market anymore. Let me think. Where shall we go? Oh! Let’s go to the night amusement park! Then, we can go to the night market for supper. It would be a pity if we dirtied such beautiful clothes.” It is currently about seven o’clock. It takes about 15 minutes to reach the amusement park by car. The amusement park closes at ten o’clock, giving us about two hours or so. After that, I can bring Sirin to the night market to get supper. The amusement park we are going to is the one Sirin appeared at. This is fate.

“That’s fine.” Sirin did not express any objection.

Chen Heng brought Sirin out. However, he did not go toward the estate’s entrance. Instead, he went to the neighboring house. He could not get a taxi; that would never happen, as it would be impossible for taxis to appear near Fantasy Sea Villas’s entrance. Furthermore, it was already seven o’clock. It would be difficult to get a taxi anywhere, so he could only trouble the chauffeur of Mo Qingtong’s family.

Ding dong! Ding dong!

“Coming! Please wait a moment!” It was Raven’s, the maid’s, voice. Mo Qingtong and Chen Heng usually address her as Elder Sister Raven.

“Oh! It’s Little Heng. What’s up? This must be Young Mistress Sirin, right?” Raven appeared before Chen Heng, wearing a traditional maid outfit that showcased her exquisite figure. She had short gray hair and red pupils.

“Elder Sister Raven, can you send us to Vast Sea City Amusement Park?”

Mo Qingtong’s residence in this Vast Sea City estate was just temporary. Under normal circumstances, her family stayed at a mansion in the suburbs. With the college entrance exams imminent, their entire family had moved to Fantasy Sea Villas half a month ago in preparation, as it was close to Vast Sea City First High School.

Raven held a secondary job as Mo Qingtong and Chen Heng’s chauffeur. Mo Qingtong’s parents would drive themselves.

“Please wait while I ask Master. Come in first.” Raven invited the two in and closed the door.

Mo Qingtong’s home was different from Chen Heng’s. Her entire family was staying together here. They also had a capable maid like Raven. The decorations and furnishings were much better, giving the house a sense of warmth.

“It’s Little Heng! I heard you skipped afternoon classes?” Mo Yun, Mo Qingtong’s father, sat on the sofa reading the newspaper. Liu Yunxian, Mo Qingtong’s mother, was currently watching a…culinary livestream.

“How could I be skipping? Uncle Mo, didn’t I go to pick up Sirin? Sirin, come here and greet Uncle. Uncle Mo is our father’s good friend. He has taken good care of me.”

“Uncle, how do you do?”

“Good. This is Little Sirin, right? She is gorgeous. Uncle did not know you were coming and did not prepare any gifts. I’ll get Raven to prepare a nice greeting gift for you tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Uncle.”

“Little Heng, Qingtong said you’re pretty good at cooking.” As mentioned previously, Liu Yunxian loved to cook, so she was very curious about Chen Heng’s excellent cooking.

“Well, I practiced for several days to give Little Sirin a nice welcome. Perhaps I have some talent in this area? How about I come and show off my skills someday? You and Uncle Mo can taste it, and you can give me some pointers after that.”

“That’s great. Darling, Little Heng wants to cook for us. Just agree. We are not outsiders anyway. You can give him some pointers too.” Mo Yun quickly agreed before Liu Yunxian could say anything.

“That’s fine.”

“By the way, why is Little Heng here?”

“Master, Young Master Heng would like me to send him and Young Mistress Sirin to Vast Sea City Amusement Park.”

“That’s fine. Go on, then. Don’t tell Little Tong. She is still reviewing upstairs. Little Heng’s studies are excellent, so you don’t have to worry about the college entrance examinations. As for Little Tong… Hah… she will have to work harder if she wants to enter Jindu University.”

Chen Heng had previously mentioned that cultivators and ability users usually had excellent memories. This was the same for Mo Qingtong. However, she did not do great in the science and humanities subjects—at the very least, she scored less than Chen Heng.

“Dad! I heard that!” Before Chen Heng could say anything, Mo Qingtong rushed down aggressively.

“Little Tong, have you finished today’s mock exams?” Liu Yunxian made her stand.

This stopped aggressive Mo Qingtong cold. “Nope!”

“Then, why aren’t you finishing them now?”

“But it’s the weekend tomorrow!”

“Little Tong, focus on your studies for this half month. After the college entrance exams, you can do whatever you want.”

“Alright.” Seeing her father’s stance on this, Mo Qingtong submitted. “I’ll go back to my room first.”

“Qingtong, I’ll go anywhere you want with you after the college entrance exams.”

“Is that true? You’d better not be lying to me!” Mo Qingtong immediately perked up at Chen Heng’s words.

“It’s a promise!”

“It’s a promise! I’m returning to my room first!” Mo Qingtong clearly became much more spirited.

“Hah… A grown girl can’t be kept at home.” Liu Yunxian shook her head. “Raven, send Little Heng and Little Sirin to the amusement park.”

“Alright, Mistress.”

“In that case, Uncle Mo, Aunty Liu, see you tomorrow.”

“Alright. Travel safely.”

“Got it, Master.”

The Mo Family had two cars. One was used for chauffeuring Mo Qingtong and Chen Heng around and for Raven to purchase necessities, so that was not expensive. The husband-and-wife pair used the other one, which was more expensive—a Maybach. After all, as government officials, they could not drive a car that was too expensive. However, a cheap car would not reflect the Mo Family’s status, either.

[TL Note: Maybach is a German luxury car brand that is currently a part of Mercedes-Benz. Here is the Wikipedia entry on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maybach.]

“Hah… I don’t have to cook for Master’s family. Now, Little Heng no longer needs me. My only value is cleaning and driving,” Raven complained bitterly after entering the car.

Raven could be considered a perfect maid. She was capable of doing all housework and was good at cooking. She also looked very pretty and possessed an excellent figure. However, her only value now was to clean and drive Mo Qingtong around.

“You can’t say that. After Qingtong takes the college entrance exams, won’t you be moving back to the big residence? At that time, Aunty Liu would only cook occasionally.”

Only Mo Qingtong, her parents, and Raven stayed in Fantasy Sea Villas. That was why Liu Yunxian cooked every day under the glorified excuse of providing nutrition for her child, letting her child feel a mother’s deep love. She would only cook occasionally in the Mo Family’s large residence. After all, she was the lady of the house. How could she cook every day?

“After returning to the Mo Family’s large residence, it would not be my job to cook. I was employed to serve the young miss especially.”

Raven was Mo Qingtong’s personal maid. When Mo Qingtong was born, the Mo Family picked an eight-year-old girl to train as a maid. This girl was Raven.

Only Raven and Chen Heng chatted during the journey. Sirin simply sat beside Chen Heng, not saying a word.
