Mr. Bear

"And if my money's all gone?" Jin Mingze asked.

She huffed, "As if those billions can disappear just like that."

"In other words, you won't love me if I'm not rich, huh?"

"You still have your good looks."

He chuckled lightly, "Unbelievable."

"To be honest, I really look up to you, Jin Mingze." Chen Rui said as she turned her gaze ahead.

He was truly an amazing person. Even if there were people who wanted him dead, the fact that he was such a remarkable person isn't going to change anytime.

Jin Mingze smirked, "Is it because you're short?"

"..." This man... she was praising him and yet the urge to choke him right now was great.

"We should have our lunch first before going to the zoo." Chen Rui said as she crossed her arms.

"You still haven't eaten your lunch?"

"We're going to eat outside as a family you know." She looked at Yanyan who was busy with the tablet. "Sweetie, what do you want to eat?"

Yanyan raised her head and looked at her mother with a grin, "Cupcakes!"

"Cupcakes for lunch? Shouldn't we eat something healthy first?" Jin Mingze asked.

"The healthy food is for mans! The womans eat cupcakes!"

Chen Rui ended laughing softly, "You heard her, darling."

...

After having their lunch together, Jin Mingze drove them to the zoo. He parked the car in the parking lot before he took off the seatbelt from the side. "We're here."

Yanyan who was busy playing games on the tablet since earlier shot her head up, she was looking excitedly at them, "We're here?!"

Chen Rui chuckled, "Yes, we are, sweetie."

They went off the car and went to buy entrance tickets for them.

Yanyan was holding her mother's hand as they entered.

While they were walking, Chen Rui was looking at her husband's hand as if wanting to hold it.

Jin Mingze seemed to notice the glances she was giving on his hand which made him smile. He reached out and held her hand, "Don't let go, or else you might get lost."

She scoffed lightly, "You should tell that to Yanyan." Although her heart fluttered when he held her hand.

Chen Rui liked this side of Jin Mingze... the Jin Mingze who was initiating such sweet gestures.

He looked at Yanyan and smiled, "Yan'er, never talk and follow a stranger whenever you're outside, okay?"

"What if they have a baby goat, daddy?" Yanyan asked, turning her bright eyes to her father.

Chen Rui ended up laughing lightly, "I'll definitely follow that stranger if he has a baby goat."

"Right? Baby goats are cute! Especially when baby goats are wearing pajamas!" Yanyan happily said.

Jin Mingze sighed helplessly at the mother and daughter duo, "I don't think that's ever going to happen."

"It's called 'what if', daddy." His daughter said as she pouted. When she turned her head, her eyes sparkled when she saw the monkeys behind a protected space. "Monkeys!"

Yanyan released her mother's hand before running towards it.

"Yanyan!" She quickly followed her.

"Don't go running away just like that." Chen Rui scolded as she crossed her arms.

Yanyan pouted, "Okay..." She turned to the monkeys and her pout instantly faded, "They're so cute! Oh, look! Over there is Mr. Bear!"

Yanyan was about to run towards the bear but stopped and looked at her mother, she reached out her tiny hand to her. "Come, come."

Chen Rui sighed helplessly, she held her daughter's hand and followed her to to the area where the bear was.

"Mommy, aren't these animals supposed to be in the wild?" Her daughter asked as she looked at her mother.

"That's uh..." Chen Rui paused, not really knowing what to tell her. She turned to Jin Mingze who was quiet the whole time.

He blinked a few times when he saw how his wife looked at him. "That's..." He turned his gaze to his daughter, "Hunting illegally is serious in this country, also in other countries. If these animals are in the wild, they'd be instantly killed for some trophy so it's better if they are in a protected space to help their species stay alive."

Upon hearing what he said, Chen Rui was all agape. What he said was entirely true but she never thought of that even once back then.

The little girl turned to the bear who was busy eating some berries, she sadly pouted, "If there are no bad people then Mr. Bear can return home, right?"

"Yes." Jin Mingze said as he patted his daughter's head.
