Madam, Please Behave-Chapter 222: Seeing Through It

An Yuanyao noticed his dazed expression. She stood still for about two seconds before walking toward Liu Changqing, who was looking at the shopping bag.

Standing beside him, she asked in a puzzled tone,

"What are you thinking about?"

Her words snapped Liu Changqing out of his thoughts about buying swimsuits. His gaze flickered guiltily as he quickly glanced away from An Yuanyao's face.

He let go of the shopping bag he had been holding open and straightened up.

"Nothing. Anyway… Zhiyue, Xiazhi, you two get ready. We're heading out soon."

"Okay!"

With her arms raised high, Liu Xiazhi was clearly thrilled about this outing.

Compared to his excited sister, Liu Zhiyue was much calmer. After responding, he got up from the sofa and started preparing.

It didn’t take long for the four of them to get ready and head downstairs. Liu Changqing took the driver’s seat and drove them to their destination.

As expected of a holiday.

Whether locals or tourists taking advantage of the break, one thing was clear—the moment they parked the car, they were met with a breathtaking sight.

A sea of people.

Although it wasn’t packed to the point of bodies pressing against each other, for someone like Liu Zhiyue, who wasn’t fond of noisy environments, it still felt uncomfortable.

"Why are there so many people…"

"Well, it is a holiday. A lot of families come out to have fun."

Hearing his son mumble, Liu Changqing responded while walking toward the ticket booth.

After some effort, he got the tickets and returned to lead the group through the entrance.

Truthfully, Liu Changqing had never been fond of amusement parks.

Whether in this life or the last, he had never found such places appealing.

His few experiences had all left him with bad impressions.

Getting strapped into a roller coaster, feeling the sudden drops, the dizziness, the loss of control, and the desperate need to hold it in—Liu Changqing found it all utterly pointless.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of heights;he simply disliked these intense rides.

However, the moment he and An Yuanyao saw the flyer earlier today, his thoughts changed…

After all, at that moment, he caught a glimpse of the anticipation and curiosity in An Yuanyao’s eyes as she looked at the flyer.

"Do you want to go?"

That was what Liu Changqing had asked back then.

But An Yuanyao only shook her head, carefully folded the flyer, and held it in her hand.

"Forget it. The kids are still at home…"

Bringing his thoughts back to the present, Liu Changqing glanced at An Yuanyao beside him.

Since entering the park, she had been looking around with curious eyes.

She really was a woman who said one thing but meant another…

"Dad!"

Liu Xiazhi suddenly dashed over to his left, grabbing his arm with an excited expression.

Turning slightly, she pointed at a ride nearby.

"Let’s go on that one!"

Liu Changqing followed her finger, his expression shifting slightly.

"That one’s no fun…"

Even as he said this, he quickly looked around. Spotting a carousel not far away, his face instantly brightened.

Pointing at the carousel, he said to his daughter,

"Girls should ride something more suited to them. I think the carousel is perfect for you!"

"…"

Hearing his suggestion, Liu Xiazhi froze for a moment. Then, realizing what he was saying, she vigorously shook her head.

"I don’t want to ride that! I want this one!"

She stubbornly pointed at the drop tower, making Liu Changqing’s face darken.

This kind of ride—where you went straight up and then plunged down, with no way to back out midway—was something he wanted nothing to do with.

"Let’s pick something else…"

"Let her go if she wants. She’s tall enough anyway."

An Yuanyao spoke gently.

As she said this, she walked to Liu Changqing’s side and took Liu Xiazhi’s hand.

Smiling at him, she added,

"I’ll take her."

"You’re not afraid of heights?"

"No problem."

"…"

Perhaps noticing Liu Changqing’s reluctance, An Yuanyao took the initiative to accompany his daughter.

And so, the four of them walked toward the drop tower.

Liu Changqing and his son stood below, watching as An Yuanyao and Liu Xiazhi waited in line. It took a while before it was finally their turn.

Both father and son looked up at them with apprehensive expressions as they got strapped into their seats.

Swallowing nervously, they exchanged glances.

"This… this doesn’t look fun at all."

Liu Zhiyue looked at his sister’s excited expression and commented to his father.

Nodding in agreement, Liu Changqing felt like he had found a kindred spirit.

"Exactly! Young people these days just love chasing thrills. I think that carousel from earlier was pretty great—you can ride on it, and it’s fun too."

"Exactly!"

Sitting beside An Yuanyao, Liu Xiazhi didn’t feel a trace of fear. She was too excited. Her little face had even turned red from anticipation.

Raising both hands, she called out loudly toward her father and brother,

"Dad! Brother!"

An Yuanyao, sitting beside her, just smiled.

She truly enjoyed this kind of moment—spending time with the kids.

As the countdown ended, it was as if a spring-loaded trigger had been released.

With an incredible burst of speed, they shot into the air.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

The piercing screams rang out, loud and clear even to those standing below.

Father and son instinctively took a step back.

T-Too terrifying…

Just watching felt like experiencing it firsthand.

Liu Changqing didn’t even dare to look up.

The ride didn’t last long.

Before long, An Yuanyao was holding Liu Xiazhi’s hand as they jogged out of the ride’s exit, rejoining the two waiting below.

Excitedly, Liu Xiazhi began describing the experience to them.

"It was amazing! Whoosh—up we went, whoosh—down we came, then whoosh—back up again! So much fun!"

As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something. Looking at her father and brother, whose expressions seemed slightly off, she tilted her head.

"Dad, Brother, aren’t you going to try it?"

"…"

After a brief silence, Liu Changqing suddenly had an idea.

Handing the bags he was carrying to his son, he said,

"I’m feeling a little thirsty. You guys go ahead and play, I’ll go buy some water."

With that, he quickly walked away.

Liu Zhiyue blankly accepted the bags. A second later, he realized what was happening.

"I’ll go with him. He shouldn’t carry too much by himself."

With that, he hurried after his father.

Liu Xiazhi didn’t think too much of it, assuming they really just went to buy water.

An Yuanyao, on the other hand, saw right through them.

She knew Liu Changqing too well.

Watching the father and son walking side by side, she smiled, her heart filled with happiness.
