Lu Qingfeng watched as his two-year-old twin daughters chased one another at the local park with their bodyguards scattered around discreetly, making sure not to get unwanted attention from the others. However, he was oblivious to the look women were throwing his way as they mumbled to each other.

'He must be looking after his friend's kids, what a good friend he is.'

'Or maybe they are his nieces? He looked at peace while looking at them.'

Xiao Yue and Yanyan were giggling and squealing in delight as they took turns tagging each other. He was glad to see how well they were developing. They could run and jump with ease and their sense of thinking was better than most kids their age. The girls were able to express themselves though they weren't so articulate yet.

Although he supposed that the two had never been disregarded for too long. Whenever he and Su Xiaofei were occupied with work, their family and friends would easily volunteer to look after Xiao Yue and Yanyan, and Lu Qingfeng had lately been thinking of how to make sure their girls wouldn't grow up spoiled rotten and expecting everything to fall into their hands as they wished.

Lu Qingfeng's attention was suddenly diverted when he heard Yanyan calling for him.

"Dad!" Yanyan hurriedly went to the bench where he was seated and placed her small hands on his thigh. Her cheeks flushed red from the exertion of running around.

The women who'd been checking him out gasped behind their hands when they heard what Yanyan called him. It seemed like they were surprised to hear that he already fathered two children at such a young age. He looked like he was still in his early twenties, usually an age where one was just starting to build a career.

Lu Qingfeng never thought that there would be a day he would have a child on his own. Well, Su Xiaofei didn't just give him one, but two adorable girls who won his heart at first sight.

"What is it, Yanyan?" He asked his daughter affectionately.

Yanyan pointed her small finger towards the playscape at the center of the play park.

"Jiejie stuck. Can't get out!"

Lu Qingfeng rose from his seat and held Yanyan's small hand and followed her over to a series of tunnels that were twisted and turned around the playscape. He then heard a sniffling and low crying sound somewhere until they found Xiao Yue, with her hand stuck on a mesh screen.

He looked at the slightly tangled mesh then to the tear stained face of his eldest daughter. Although it pained him to see her in distress, Lu Qingfeng knew that Xiao Yue needed to learn how to calm down first and deal with the problem at hand. The mesh wasn't tangled that much and with a little effort, he knew that Xiao Yue would be able to free herself, only if she would cease her crying and work to free her hand.

"Dad, help please." Xiao Yue turned her glassy eyes towards Lu Qingfeng, looking at him with despair.

Lu Qingfeng inwardly sighed and forced a smile on his face.

"It's alright, sweetheart. You can get your hands out on your own."

His daughter gave him a startled and confused look, something Xiao Yue inherited from their mother. Su Xiaofei used to give him this kind of look when they were younger.

"But I'm scared…"

"I know, Yue, but there's nothing to fear when Daddy is here."

That somewhat calmed his daughter, much to Lu Qingfeng's relief. Xiao Yue then started looking at her left hand, stuck in the mesh and then slowly pulled and turned her wrist until she freed herself. She then began looking around to find a way to get out, taking in her option before deciding where to go.

Lu Qingfeng watched his daughter intently and a wave of pride washed through him. He followed the twisted tunnels with his eyes and went to the other side where a small slide was the only way to exit the playscape.

The two of them waited for a long moment before Xiao Yue emerged as she pushed herself down the smile. She then immediately ran towards her father and Lu Qingfeng lifted her up in his arms, taking in her wide grin.

"Dad! I did it! I did!" She squealed loudly.

"That's my girl." He murmured. "In the future, Mom and Dad will teach you and Yanyan how to solve riddles and problems like this, so don't easily cry, alright?"

Xiao Yue nodded and upon being reminded by her mother, she looked around but didn't find her.

"Where's Mom? I want to see Mommy."

"Right here, darling."

The trio turned their heads and saw Su Xiaofei walking towards them. She was wearing a three piece black business suit with her hair tied near her nape.

"How did it go?" Lu Qingfeng asked after receiving a peck on his cheek from his wife.

"It's over now." Su Xiaofei replied.

Three days ago, they heard of Ye Mingyu's sudden passing in her detention cell. The police announced that Ye Mingyu suffered a sudden heart attack after receiving the verdict on her case, but Lu Qingfeng and Su Xiaofei knew that wasn't the case. Someone came and made sure that Ye Mingyu wouldn't sell information out to the authorities.

Since Ye Mingyu didn't have family members left aside from Su Haoran, who was detained in another facility, Su Xiaofei was asked to oversee and arrange the funeral for Ye Mingyu. Today was the day they put Ye Mingyu's remains in its resting place next to her mother's.

"So how do you feel now?" He asked once their daughters chose to resume their play, leaving them in each other's company.

Su Xiaofei hooked her arm with his and rested her head against him.

"At peace." She started. "But more than anything, I'm pleased that I proved her wrong. That I'm worthy to be loved and to be happy."
