Ring & Tone.

Leo pushed the door of the store, and the doorbell chime disturbed the Mother and Daughter duo playing music. The lady looked over and smiled as she stood up to greet Leo. The young man smiled and said, "Hello, are you the owner of the store?" 

The lady nodded and replied, "Yes, I am the owner here. How can I help you?" 

Leo replied calmly, "I would like to buy a Piano, can you recommend one for me?" 

The lady nodded and waved her hand and said, "Well, there is some sound quality difference between standing piano and grand piano, whether it be price or the sound quality." 

Leo thought for a bit and said, "I would prefer a better quality one. The price is not an issue. I just wish to give my daughter the best." 

The lady smiled and then pointed towards a black grand piano. The surface of the piano was shining like a mirror. It gave off a noble aura. Leo liked the instrument and quickly made the payment. The lady did not ask much, but just when they were confirming the order, Leo said, "Do you provide maintenance services as well?" 

The lady nodded, she took out a card from the drawer and said, "You can contact me on this number and I will check the instrument. However, it would not be free." 

Leo nodded and said, "That's alright." 

After a few minutes, Leo left the store and came to the shop where he intended to get the pictures clicked. The store was called Memorabilia. 

Leo entered the shop and fixed the appointment. After a few minutes, the people did not say much and put them on the evening slot. Then Leo went back home, and streamed a session to the people, where he said, "Well, we have reached the thousand subscriber match, the ten winners in the give away are, Xiao Ting, Mel, Professor Ceramic, Big brother Stone, Madam Petal, Grimslayer, Yang Hong, Ikrar, Ramya, and last but not the least, Amilia." 

He then asked the two people to reach out to him in the inbox so that he could arrange for a shipping order and have the articles delivered to them. He said, "You all do not have to worry, the shipment can be done in the lockers of the Pack-it storage boxes and you can collect it yourself. So, you only have to tell me the contact number or the nearest storage box." 

After discussing the situation with the viewers and reaching an agreement, he disconnected the stream before he drove out again to pick up his daughter from the school. Snow also took off from work one hour early. 

They both came to the shop and the photographer took the people for make-up. The photoshoot was a big deal, Leo did not dare to take it casually, this was an important moment for him, as this would be the first time when he shares a picture with his daughter. 

They put on various dresses, Hanfu, and suits. While Lily was dressed in an attire which matched both of her parents. For the first picture, Leo was dressed in a black suit, while Snow was dressed in a white gown. They both held Lily in their arms, who was wearing a black and white dress. The family of three smiled brightly and the photographer was surprised for a moment before he remarked, "Marvelous!" 

Click! Click! Click! 

The shutter clicked continuously, and pictures piled up in the storage card. Leo was a complete daughter slave, he smiled brightly when he was looked in the eyes of his daughter and wife. Lily and Snow were the two people who were his world, and that was it. 

'Ping: Host, congratulations on clicking pictures with your daughter for the first time. You are rewarded with professional camera set up expertise. May you strive on the path of being the Almighty Father.' 

They clicked pictures for two hours and then the photographer approached Leo and asked, "Sir, your family is the best model that I have ever clicked pictures of, can I use these pictures for my advertisement? I am willing to pay you forty percent of my monthly profits." 

He was very hopeful but Leo didn't care. His good mood was ruined completely when he heard this and said, "No." 

The unhesitant tone of his voice made the photographer freeze. Leo looked at him and coldly said, "I came here to get pictures clicked, and I hope you respect my privacy. I will not disturb your peace as long as you do not bother mine." 

The photographer was shocked, and then he gulped while nodding quickly and said, "I understand, you will have the photos ready by tomorrow evening." 

Leo nodded and then he left with Snow and Lily. They were driving in two different vehicles, Lily ditched her mother again to be with her father, and Snow sighed as she said, "You better ask your Baba to eat your leftovers now, traitor." 

Leo chuckled and pecked Snow's cheeks as he said, "Come on, don't be like this. Lily loves you too." 

Lily snuggled with Leo and said, "Yes, Ma, I love you." 

Snow drove ahead of Leo and Lily. The little girl looked at her father, and said, "Baba, you know Teacher Verse has a ring on her hand and it is so pretty." 

Leo asked, "Oh, really?" 

Lily nodded and said, "I asked her where she got it and she said her husband gave it to her." 

Leo raised his brow and Lily said, "Baba, why haven't you given Mama any ring?" 

The young man shivered, and realized the meaning of this question. He smiled and said, "Baby, I will give your mama a ring very soon. It will be a good one. Don't worry." 

'Ping: Host, issuing task, propose the mother of your daughter to be your lawfully wedded wife. Time duration: twenty four hours.' 

Leo sighed but he understood the importance of this task. He said to Lily, "How about tomorrow? I will get your mother a beautiful ring, something that will make her smile brightly." 

Lily nodded with a smile and said, "Ma likes simple things." 

Leo reached out and pinched her nose gently as he said, "I know that already little princess. Don't worry. Baba will not disappoint you." 

…

The couple reached home, and Leo looked at the Living room before he said, "Snow, tomorrow, a piano will be delivered at home. Where shall we place it?" 

Snow was surprised and asked, "What is it all of a sudden? Why did you get a Piano?" 

Leo shrugged and said, "I stay at home daily, so I want to do something. I used to play it in the past and so I thought about getting one so that I can teach Lily a basic level of Piano so that she has more options to choose her future occupation or anything she wants."

Snow thought for a bit and then after looking around she pointed in a separate area, where they should be dining but they were not. 

After some discussion, they decided to utilize the space for the Piano. Lily was confused looking at the two adults and placed her hands on her hips. She sighed and spoke exasperatedly, "Oh lords, I have no idea how these older dance so much while talking." 

Leo and Snow froze, they looked at their hands, and found that their daughter was calling them dancers because they used too many hand gestures. 

The young man looked at Lily and said, "You naughty baby, wait, Baba will catch you and teach you a lesson. You dare to tease us." 

Lily chuckled and yelled, "Catch me if you can Baba." 

The two people dashed around the house. Leo did not catch her, but he pretended to be slow and missed Lily from a few inches everytime causing the young lady to chuckle. Her laughter filled the house and made the scene very cheerful. 

Snow began to cook food and called the two of them over to eat. The family had dinner, and then Leo spent one hour telling Lily a story. When he came out of the room after putting her to sleep, he found Snow leaning back on the couch frowning. 

His heart ached a little as he walked up to her and asked, "What happened?" 

Snow shook her head and said, "Nothing, I am just tired from the work." 

Leo noticed some redness on her toes and he sat down next to her. He lifted her feet and placed them in his lap, before he massaged them gently. Snow was surprised and wanted to say something to stop him when Leo said, "Don't think much. I am just doing my bit for you." 

Snow looked at him gently and nodded. While she was grateful to have him in her life, Leo was thinking how foolish he was to have not realized the fact that Snow was his girlfriend and they had yet to get married officially. 

Thinking about this, he recalled the tragedies of his life again. However, now he was used to it and his state of mind did not change much. 

He looked up and gazed at Snow and said, "I will give you the best that I can, and never let you suffer, Snow." 

Snow smiled and said, "I will do the same, Love." 

The two of them looked at each other in silence before they said, "I love you." 

It just so happened that they were in sync and then they heard a sweet voice, "I love you two too." 

The two chuckled and went to tease the little girl before putting her to bed.
