"Duty-free shops at the airport have fresh milk, fries, chips, chocolate cookies, giraffe cakes…" Fu Yinxiu listed slowly.
Little Jingshi's mouth watered, "It's so cruel, talking about all this at night."
"I won't tell Tong Tong," Little Jing Shi said immediately.
Fu Yinxiu maintained a cold expression, "Oh."
Little Jingshi was anxious. How could Dad say all this and not show any reaction?
"What's next?" Little Jingshi asked urgently, feeling very hungry.
"What's next?" Fu Yinxiu asked in confusion, "What else is there?"
Little Jingshi was so angry that he sat up quickly.
He knew it—Dad was unreliable!
"I'm going to tell Tong Tong," Little Jingshi said as he got out of bed.
"What do you want?" Fu Yinxiu then asked leisurely.
Little Jingshi stopped, proudly puffing out his chest.
If he had a tail, it would be sticking straight up.
"I want them all," Little Jingshi seized the opportunity to say.
Fu Yinxiu nodded, "Got it."
Satisfied with the promise of food, Little Jingshi waved goodbye to Fu Yinxiu, "Alright, a man keeps his word. I won't tell Tong Tong, and don't forget to buy me the good stuff."
"…" Fu Yinxiu disdainfully moved his lips, "I know."
"I'm going to sleep!" Little Jingshi lay back down, making sure Fu Yinxiu saw, "Dad, look, I'm lying down again, I'm closing my eyes to sleep, definitely not telling Tong Tong. Good night, Dad."
Fu Yinxiu: "…"
He thought this kid was smart, but it must have been an illusion.
So dumb!
Fu Yinxiu ended the video call with disdain, while Little Jingshi, unaware of being disliked by his dad, happily closed his eyes to sleep.
Fu Yinxiu looked at the towel around his waist and noticed Ming Yutong didn't react to it at all earlier.
Could it be that his physique no longer had any appeal?
Reluctantly, he walked to the mirror and checked himself from all angles.
Flexing his arms and tightening his abs, his muscle lines still looked good.
Then he took a photo of himself and thought that the screen might not fully reflect his physique's advantages.
When he gets back.
He'll let Ming Yutong see it for herself.
He took off the towel and put on his pajamas again.
Thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and called Alpha Guard 1.
"Master?" Alpha Guard 1 and Alpha Guard 2 shared a room.
This way, any orders from Fu Yinxiu would be conveyed to both of them at once.
"What app do you generally use for online shopping here?" Fu Yinxiu asked.
He had been in Country M, where, to be honest, online shopping was not very advanced—slow delivery, poor after-sales service.
Moreover, if he needed something, he'd just tell the housekeeper directly and didn't need to shop online himself.
So, even in Country M, he didn't know how many online shopping channels there were.
Let alone just returning to his home country, he was even less familiar with domestic online shopping platforms.
He had never looked into it before, and now he wanted to use it, but was completely clueless.
Unexpectedly, Alpha Guard 1 and Alpha Guard 2 were well-informed.
Unlike Fu Yinxiu, who could simply issue orders and have things done, they needed to rely on online shopping for their daily necessities, given that they rarely had time off.
Since it was hard to explain everything over the phone, Fu Yinxiu had them come over.
They meticulously explained the steps, helped Fu Yinxiu bind his bank card, and entered the delivery address. They also taught him how to use keywords to search for what he wanted to buy.
Fu Yinxiu didn't make them leave right away. Instead, he used his phone to search for: "flannel pajamas Totoro."
He was pleasantly surprised to find that the exact pajamas Ming Yutong wore in the video appeared on the page.
In fact, the entire page was filled with identical sets, with slight variations in price.
Following Alpha Guard 1's advice, Fu Yinxiu chose a well-reviewed seller, checked that the pajamas were the same as those Ming Yutong wore, and reviewed the comments which seemed favorable.
He ordered a set in his size, with the delivery address set to Ming Yutong's home.
Satisfied with his purchase, he let Alpha Guard 1 and Alpha Guard 2 leave.
Fu Yinxiu then went to bed contentedly.

The next day was Saturday. During breakfast, Ming Yutong discussed with Little Jingshi whether he wanted to go to an amusement park.
Even though the weather was cold, a new indoor amusement park had opened in B City. It offered everything from regular claw machines and other coin-operated games to somewhat thrilling indoor roller coasters.
There was also a virtual 5D spaceship ride. Although the spaceship itself didn't move, the experience was immersive thanks to the three large screens surrounding the ride, creating a realistic 3D effect.
The visual effects created an illusion of flying outdoors and in the sky, complemented by the ship's movements to enhance the feeling of being airborne.
The amusement park had been open for a few months, and Little Jingshi had been eager to go.
Fu Yinxiu wouldn't take him, and Aunt Huo, being older and busy at home, wasn't a suitable option either. Little Jingshi had planned to go with Mo Jinxi, but Mo Jingsheng was always busy with work, often working late nights and rarely coming home.
Even when he did get a day or two off, Mo Jinxi was considerate and didn't want to drag Mo Jingsheng out for fun, wanting him to rest properly.
As a result, neither child had managed to go to the amusement park.
When Ming Yutong suggested the outing, Little Jingshi was overjoyed. "Can I invite Jinxi? He really wants to go, but Uncle Mo hasn't been available."
"Of course, ask him if he can go today. If he can, we'll pick him up together," Ming Yutong readily agreed, also fond of Mo Jinxi.
Little Jingshi, skipping breakfast, quickly grabbed his phone to call Mo Jinxi. The excitement was palpable, with Ming Yutong even hearing Mo Jinxi's happy squeals and laughter through the phone.
After the call, Little Jingshi finished his breakfast, changed into outdoor clothes, and picked a stylish but practical outfit for easy movement.
Ming Yutong added a down jacket, knit hat, and gloves for warmth.
Thus, Little Jingshi was bundled up so much he looked incredibly cute.
Ming Yutong and Little Jingshi headed out and first stopped by the Mo family home.
Since they were already at the doorstep, Ming Yutong thought it would be impolite not to greet them, so she and Little Jingshi got out of the car and rang the doorbell.
Soon, an elderly butler came out to personally open the door for them.
