Ximen straightened his back and quickly shook his head. "It's an honor to look after your children."
The young wife replied with a happy nod.
Meizuo thought of himself too smart to fall for the sneaky woman. He crossed his arms and met Shancai's eyes with clear defiance. "I have a date this weekend; I don't have time to babysit."
Shancai pulled out her phone.
The F4 heard the device ping.
Meizuo frowned.
"Oh! Look at that! XiaoZi just messaged me that she already cancelled your date. She would be happy to help you out this weekend!" Shancai chirped and showed her phone's screen to everyone.
AhSi smiled proudly. His wife is really starting to learn the Daoming way. Negotiation.
Meizuo sighed dejectedly. "Just to inform you, Shancai. I'm good at looking after 'walking kids'. Not kids in diaper." He explained, remembering that the couple still has a one-year old toddler.
Shancai waved her hands. "No worries, I asked XiaoYu to take care of the diaper-changing. And of course, don't forget that my dear husband—" Looked at AhSi, who was showcasing a threatening frown at present. "—will never let a man see our daughter cloth-less." She finished with pressed giggle.
Meizuo took the given chance to get back at the couple. He sneered at AhSi and spoke clearly. "Let's see when your precious daughter starts dating. I—"
"SHUT UP!" AhSi exclaimed. "My daughter will never date. I will send her to a Buddhist temple when she turns 16. OUCH!" His wife's fist was as merciless as ever.
Shancai crossed her arms and glared up to her husband. "Stop spouting non-sense. My daughter will never be a monk!"
Lei stood up and smiled at the bickering couple. "I will take care of Fai."
"Thank you, Lei!" Shancai responded cheerfully.
"I guess, taking care of a toddler won't be too hard." Ximen said.
Meizuo stared agape at his friend. "You're saying that now? Have you ever taken care of a baby who doesn't enjoy playing and commands everyone around her like she's a God?"
Ximen shook his head slowly, wondering what his friend being too worked up for. 'It's just a baby. How worse can it get?'
AhSi clapped his hands and reached out to his friends, placing his arms around their shoulders. "Thank you guys! I promise you that me and my wife will enjoy this anniversary trip and buy you all expensive presents!!" He cheerfully said loudly.

Saturday Morning;
7AM. | Daoming Mansion Living room;
Meizuo and Ximen were standing in front of AhSi and Shancai, while the two were all set up for their trip. Shancai was wearing a white summer knee-length dress with a matching pure white sun hat on her head while her feet were covered with flat doll summer shoes.
DaomingSi, the chairman of all the Daoming Group's businesses, was being his usual self. He was wearing a plain white round neck shirt, flowy pants and a pair of comfy summer sandals.
The husband was doing a final check with their luggage and making sure that his very forgetful wife did not forget anything important.
"Love," AhSi uttered while looking at his wife's bag. "...didn't you bring that sunscreen I bought from Switzerland?"
