"Hello, Uncle and Aunt, my name is Chu Li. You can call me Lili," the little girl said politely.

Chu Heng, Chu Li's father, examined Yin Yin closely and asked uncertainly, "Are you Yin Yin?"

Yin Yin chuckled, "Boss Chu, even with all this makeup, you still recognized me?"

Recognizing Yin Yin, Chu Heng was even more surprised. "You're the Goddess of Wealth and one of the bosses of Shenghuang Entertainment. How could I forget you?"

When Su Mo heard "Shenghuang Entertainment," he finally understood. Shenghuang Entertainment was the major film and television company where Yin Yin signed during her college years, and it was one of the top three giants in the industry. Chu Heng, the CEO, was a wealthy second-generation with connections to a larger consortium.

"Dad, do you know Aunt Su?" little Chu Li asked.

Chu Heng ruffled her hair and replied, "Of course."

After some introductions, Su Mo learned that not only was Yin Yin an artist at Shenghuang Entertainment, but she had also invested in the company four years ago, holding 21% of the shares and ranking third among the bosses. Su Mo was in awe of his wife's accomplishments.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Chu was animatedly discussing makeup techniques with Yin Yin. Mrs. Chu, a quintessential white, rich, and beautiful woman, was known for her elegant and gentle demeanor. Chu Heng had fallen for her at first sight, and their arranged marriage had blossomed into a loving relationship.

As the president of Shenghuang Entertainment and a wealthy second-generation, Chu Heng had remained devoted solely to Mrs. Chu from the start. Mrs. Chu often brought meals to Chu Heng and occasionally met Yin Yin, though their encounters were infrequent due to Yin Yin's busy schedule. This meeting at the amusement park revealed that despite Yin Yin's youthful appearance, she was actually two years older than Mrs. Chu, who affectionately called her "Sister Yin."

Yin Yin discovered that Mrs. Chu's gentle demeanor masked a kind-hearted and playful spirit, which seemed to perfectly complement Mr. Chu's preferences.

"Hello, I'm Chu Heng," Chu Heng said, extending his hand to Su Mo. "Although I know Yin Yin is married to you, this is the first time I'm meeting you."

Su Mo shook his hand and replied, "Thank you for taking care of A Yin all these years."

"Yin Yin is a significant figure at Shenghuang Entertainment, so it's only right we appreciate her," Chu Heng said. "By the way, are you interested in joining Shenghuang? With your looks, you could easily become a popular young actor."

Chu Heng, though he had never met Su Mo before, knew that Su Mo was a young hunk who had briefly become famous before retiring from the entertainment industry.

Su Mo was momentarily tempted but quickly suppressed the thought. He shook his head and said, "Still... No."

He had promised Yin Yin when they married that he would leave the entertainment industry, and he wasn't willing to break that promise, even though he still enjoyed acting.

Before Su Mo could say more, Yin Yin interjected, "Actually, Mr. Chu, Su Mo is planning a comeback, and I intend for him to sign with Shenghuang. If there are any good scripts available, please let us know."

"Of course. I actually have a promising script that came in a few days ago."

Su Mo was stunned, his heart racing. Had he heard correctly? His wife was supportive of his return to acting?

"Ayin," Su Mo said, his excitement palpable as he tried to speak.

Yin Yin gently squeezed his hand and replied, "Let's talk about it when we get back." She winked at him.

"Okay." Su Mo held her hand in return, trying to calm his excitement.

"Su Yuanjin, look over there—a building block competition! Do you want to join?" Little Chu Li excitedly pointed out the event.

"Su Yuanjin, you're so good with building blocks; you can definitely do it," Chu Li encouraged. She remembered how Su Yuanjin could effortlessly assemble complex blocks in kindergarten without even looking at the drawings. Chu Li had always been protective of him, standing up for him when others made fun of his lack of a mother.

Su Yuanjin, who loved playing with building blocks, especially the challenging ones, looked up at Yin Yin, silently asking for her approval.

Yin Yin playfully poked his little hat and said, "If you want to join, let's go."

A wide smile spread across Su Yuanjin's face.

"Okay, Su Yuanjin, let's go!" Su Yuanjin eagerly followed the bouncing Chu Li.

Soon, the group arrived at the building block castle game area, where a competition was about to begin. The challenge was to build a dinosaur out of 300 blocks. Children under ten could participate, but they would only have five minutes to study the design before the drawings were taken away. The winner would be the one who built the dinosaur correctly first, with the top three receiving prizes.

"Little boy, are you sure you want to participate?" The staff member, looking at the cute but delicate child, asked hesitantly. "How old are you?"

"Three years old," Su Yuanjin replied.

Though the competition rules allowed children under ten, most participants were older, with the youngest being seven. The staff member was doubtful. "You're still quite young, and the other competitors are older. Are you sure you can keep up? Maybe you should wait until you're a bit older."

Su Yuanjin, determined, said, "I can do it. I want to win first place."

The staff member thought, Although you're adorable, you might be overestimating yourself.

Just then, Yin Yin stepped in. "Excuse me, please let my son participate. He's capable of it."

The staff member looked up and was momentarily stunned by Yin Yin's striking appearance. The mother was beautiful, and the son was so cute.

Reluctantly, he said, "Alright, then. Join in, kid. Good luck." It was hard to refuse the charming mother and her endearing child.

Soon, Su Yuanjin, holding his number, entered the competition area.

"Dudu, go for it!"

"Su Yuanjin, you can do it!"

"Come on, son!"

The others cheered him on.

Su Yuanjin sat before a pile of blocks, clenching his tiny fist in determination.

"The game begins!"

As the competition started, the children received their drawings, and the five-minute timer began.
