Reborn in 1979: I Raised a Fortune with Four Daughters

Chapter 297 Park

Chen Runping's gaze felt like an incredibly sharp sword, capable of piercing one's soul and taking one's life.

Her already restless heart pounded wildly, like a deer's tail.

Just then, Aunt Huang came out of the shop. She immediately saw Zhao Zhaodi jumping around trying to snatch Chen Runping's wallet, which was held high above his head.

Chen Runping, on the other hand, held his wallet high with a mocking expression, and no matter how hard Zhao Zhaodi jumped, she could never reach it.

Seeing this, Aunt Huang couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying with a smile:

"Oh my, Runping, this is the first time you've brought your girlfriend to my place! This young lady, I really like her! I'm so happy, this meal is on me today! You two are welcome to come and patronize my business often!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Runping quickly replied:

"Alright, thank you, Aunt Huang! I won't stand on ceremony with you today!"

After saying that, he quickly put his wallet away, then reached out and gently took Zhao Zhaodi's wrist, pulling her along as they walked out the door.

After leaving the house, the two pushed their bicycles and slowly moved forward side by side.

Along the way, a gentle breeze rustled the leaves.

Chen Runping turned to look at Zhao Zhaodi beside him and said softly:

“Zhaodi, I’d like to take you for a walk in the park ahead. Do you remember that pavilion we went to in our first year of high school? I secretly hid something there back then, and I wonder if it’s still there after all these years. Let’s go take a look together.”

"Hmm, what exactly did you put in there?"

Zhao Zhaodi blinked her big, bright eyes and asked curiously.

Chen Runping smiled mysteriously and replied softly:

"It'll be a secret for now. You'll find out when we get there!"

After saying that, the two of them got on their bicycles and rode slowly towards the park entrance, facing the gentle breeze.

Before long, they arrived at their destination.

After parking the car smoothly, Chen Run quickly walked to the entrance and bought the park entrance ticket.

Then he turned back to Zhao Zhaodi's side and said gently:

“Zhaodi, let’s ride a bicycle in. We’ll use yours. Come on, let me ride. You just sit quietly in the back.”

After saying that, Chen Runping reached out and took the bicycle from Zhao Zhaodi's hand, and bent down slightly to make an inviting gesture, indicating that she should quickly sit on the back seat.

Zhao Zhaodi nodded with a slight blush on her cheeks, lightly jumped onto the back seat of the bicycle, and gripped the seat tightly with both hands. Chen Runping pulled Zhao Zhaodi's hands over and wrapped them around his waist.

"Hold on tight, afraid you'll fall."

After saying that, he got on his bicycle and headed into the park.

And so, the two of them rode the same bicycle leisurely along the winding paths of the park.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows that seemed to drape them in a golden veil.

Just then, Chen Runping suddenly stopped in front of a small, exquisite shop by the roadside.

He quickly got out of the car and went into the store. A short while later, he came out with a colorful, soft, fluffy cloud-shaped bottle.

He happily handed it to Zhao Zhaodi and said softly:

"Zhaodi, try this, it's so sweet!"

Zhao Zhaodi, however, muttered with a hint of reproach:

“Oh dear, I’m not a child anymore, why are you buying me this kind of thing to eat?”

Despite her complaints, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing a hint of undisguised joy.

Chen Runping looked at Zhao Zhaodi in front of him and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He reached out his finger and gently stroked the tip of Zhao Zhaodi's delicate nose, saying with deep affection:

"In my heart, you will always be that innocent, lovable, and adorable little girl."

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Zhaodi felt as if her heart had been suddenly struck by a deer, instantly losing its rhythm and pounding wildly.

She was too shy to look up and meet Chen Runping's loving and doting gaze, and she dared not look directly at his tall, imposing figure.

Zhao Zhaodi obediently moved her feet and slowly walked to the back seat of the bicycle, then carefully sat down.

Chen Runping gripped the handlebars with both hands, pushed off the pedals with his feet, and the bicycle sped forward like an arrow.

The wheels rolled on, a gentle breeze caressed their faces, and the two figures gradually disappeared into the distance.

Before long, they arrived at an exquisite pavilion.

Chen Runping gently squeezed the brakes, and the bicycle came to a steady stop.

Zhao Zhaodi quickly jumped off the bicycle.

She handed what she was holding to Chen Runping and said coquettishly:

"Here you go! Look at the candy you bought, your face is covered in sticky candy from eating it."

Chen Runping smiled and took it, then took a big bite without hesitation.

In an instant, some glistening sugar granules clung to his straight nose, making him look rather comical and adorable.

At this time, Zhao Zhaodi was not in much better shape; her nose and cheeks were also covered with specks of sugar stains.

"Come on, don't move, let me wipe off these candies for you."

Chen Runping spoke gently, while reaching out to hold Zhao Zhaodi's hand.

His gaze was focused and affectionate, with only the charming and lovely girl in front of him in his eyes.

Then, he calmly took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket, gently brought it close to Zhao Zhaodi's face, and carefully wiped away the sugar stains.

However, Zhao Zhaodi was a little shy and wanted to dodge away.

Seeing this, Chen Runping's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mischievous smile, and he said softly:

"Don't move around, or I'll have to use my mouth to wipe it for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhaodi's face immediately turned as red as a ripe apple, the color spreading all the way down to her slender neck.

She lowered her head, not daring to move an inch, and let Chen Runping carefully wipe the sugar off her face.

“I’m not the kind of person who’s all talk and no action! If I don’t step up my efforts, my beloved girl might run off with someone else! Zhao Di, my vacation time is very limited. Let’s get along well, okay? You just need to not reject my advances. Leave the rest to me. I will definitely not cross any lines before we get married.”

Chen Runping said with a serious expression.

Without a word, he took Zhao Zhaodi's delicate, smooth hand and strode towards the bottom of the pavilion, saying softly:

"Come quick, let's go see if the things that Cheng Hui and I secretly hid here when we were in the first year of high school are still lying here safely."
