After setting the date for the fruit-picking trip, the whole family started preparing for it.
Charles Yin unconditionally agreed with his beloved wife's decision.
So, everyone happily decided to go to the county for fruit picking.
A lot of people are going this time.
Because both Yina Yin and Ethan Yin are going, there's a whole group of bodyguards and nannies tagging along.
Why so many bodyguards?
Well, yes, the bodyguards' job isn't just to keep the two safe—it's to make sure they don't cause trouble for anyone else!
Yina Yin is still manageable—she's just over three, so there's a limit to the chaos she can cause.
But then there's her troublemaking older brother: Ethan Yin!
Lately, Yina Yin practically worships her big brother.
Why?
Obviously, it's because Ethan Yin, with his custom-designed mini silent bomb, single-handedly broke through the Yin Family warehouse defenses and stole the coral castle someone gifted Yina Yin for her birthday—then set it up in her room.
Seriously, no one pampers his little sister like Ethan Yin does.
What makes Yina Yin both jealous and admiring is that Ethan Yin got away with it!
If little A hadn't caught the database anomaly in time, the family would never have known the warehouse was hacked!
Because of this, Ethan Yin got a harsh lesson from Cecilia Gu—she threw him into the judo training room, where a dozen coaches teamed up to give him a brutal workout.
Yina Yin was so scared, she nearly lost her soul.
No one dared to plead for him!
Even Charles Yin couldn't help!
If you make Mom angry, no amount of pleading will work.
In the end, it was Grandma Yin who shamelessly stepped in, and only then did Cecilia let Ethan out.
The moment Ethan was released, he was practically in tears!
Seeing the light of day again is just pure happiness, seriously!
Mommy is so scary when she’s mad, seriously!
No matter what, don’t mess with Mommy—this is a lesson learned the hard way, seriously!
From now on, if something goes wrong, just don’t let Mommy find out, seriously!
But after all this, Yina’s admiration for her big brother shot up to cosmic heights.
As long as Ethan said something was fun, Yina would absolutely join in, no questions asked!
So Charles and Cecilia had to sit Ethan down for a talk, telling him he absolutely could not lead his little sister astray!
That’s why, for this fruit-picking trip, Charles and Cecilia kept reminding Ethan over and over.
No matter what, Ethan had to set a good example!
Absolutely no more getting Yina into trouble!
Ethan promised sincerely, but who knows if he’d forget as soon as he turned around!
So Charles and Cecilia brought a whole group along just to keep an eye on these two kids.
Besides them, Charles’s cousin Simon also brought a bunch of people.
Aside from Violet Wei, his soon-to-be fiancée, even Jane Zhang blended in with the staff and tagged along.
Since it’s an event, the more friends the better, right?
Except for Lana Mu and her husband who couldn’t make it, everyone else who could came along.
Even Ethan Jiang brought his newlywed wife Molly Yun to join the fun.
So yeah, the whole group was pretty impressive.
When the convoy set out, it was truly a spectacular sight.
Okay, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but honestly, there were over a thousand people in the convoy this time.
The fruit-picking spot was in the county suburbs, not exactly close to Newport City, and they brought a lot of kids along.
So, the trip was slow-going.
With Cecilia around, the kids were all on their best behavior.
Seriously, in front of the Director, no one dared act out!
Didn’t you see Ethan and Yina being all well-behaved?
They’re basically the king and queen of the kindergarten and elementary school!
If even the little tyrants are behaving, who else dares rebel?
Everyone knows Prince Ethan is famous for being a filial son.
So, in Cecilia’s eyes, all the kids were gentle little angels, every one of them with wings and pure souls.
But in the eyes of the kindergarten and elementary school teachers, this was a pack of little devils—angels on the outside, but hiding wicked souls!
Why do they say that?
Ever since Ethan and Yina started school...
There’s seriously never a dull moment!
Don’t be fooled by their angelic looks now—when they cause trouble, they’re total little demons!
And so, the big group made their way to the county outskirts.
This area is full of rolling hills, all planted with fruit trees. It’s boosted the local economy and attracted plenty of people for photos and fruit-picking.
All these hills are actually part of the Yin Family’s business empire.
Some parts of the business are open to the public for sightseeing and picking, but some areas are strictly off-limits.
Most of these areas are planted with high-value crops or used for hybrid breeding.
That’s why it’s a confidential zone—no outsiders allowed.
Of course, besides those secret areas, there’s another section set up just for the upper-class crowd.
After all, those society elites don’t come here just to pick fruit—they’re here to talk business.
It’s just like hotels or massage parlors outside—really just a place to discuss work.
So this place even has simple meeting rooms and top-notch dining, rivaling a four-star hotel.
Today, Cecilia brought the kids here for a little vacation.
The area was cleared out early, all set to welcome the big boss, his wife, and their crew.
As soon as Cecilia arrived, someone came forward to greet her.
The manager quickly welcomed Cecilia and Charles into the hall and gave a brief introduction.
Mr. Wang and Mrs. A went off hand-in-hand to arrange the rooms.
The kids followed their teachers to the playground set up just for them.
Simon followed behind Charles, with Violet Wei by his side.

Jane Zhang blended in with the staff and followed behind.
Listening to the manager’s introduction, Cecilia smiled at Violet Wei and said, "Violet, didn’t you say you love this kind of natural lifestyle? You can really enjoy yourself this time."
Violet Wei looked both flattered and surprised: "I was just saying, but Madam still remembers!"
Simon laughed and said, "Sister-in-law has always had a great memory. When you officially marry into the Yin Family, she’ll treat you even better."
Violet’s face instantly turned red.
Jane Zhang, who was behind them, heard their conversation and her eyes darkened.
Violet took the initiative to hold Simon’s arm, and Simon didn’t refuse.
Jane’s eyes grew even darker.
After the manager finished the introduction, he asked Cecilia, "Madam, would you like to rest first or take a walk?"
Cecilia smiled and said, "I’m not tired, let’s walk around. You don’t all need to follow us, it’s safe here. Charles and I will just stroll by ourselves."
Charles immediately nodded, "Alright, everyone go do your own thing—couples can go date, and if you’re bored, find something to do. Most importantly, don’t follow us!"
Everyone couldn’t help but smile.
The CEO and his wife’s relationship is seriously enviable!
The kids are already so big, but the CEO is still super attached to his wife!
No matter where she goes, the CEO is always by her side.
After giving his orders, Charles took Cecilia’s hand and walked away. With rare free time, of course he wanted to spend it with his beloved wife, enjoying their little world together.
Cecilia laughed as Charles dragged her away, barely having time to wave at everyone before she was whisked off.
The two of them wandered through the fruit trees, admiring the bounty and feeling inexplicably happy.
Charles squeezed Cecilia’s fingers and said, "You came out this time with a lot of intentions, didn’t you?"
Cecilia looked up at him.
Time hadn’t left a mark on Charles’s flawless face. Even in middle age, he was as handsome as ever.
"As expected, nothing gets past you," Cecilia sighed. "Charles, do you think what I’m doing is right?"
Charles casually picked a fruit and placed it in Cecilia’s palm, smiling gently: "If you like it, it’s right. If you don’t, it’s wrong! The Yin Family, and I, Charles Yin, give you that privilege."
Cecilia chuckled softly, "You can’t say that—I have to be responsible for other people’s happiness, too. If Simon doesn’t really like Violet, I can’t force him."
"He doesn’t seem to dislike her," Charles’s eyes twinkled. "And he seems to be planning to marry Violet. That girl hiding in the crowd—do you think Simon hasn’t noticed? He’s just pretending not to see."
Cecilia exclaimed in surprise, "How do you guys know?"
Charles sighed and tapped Cecilia’s nose, "You—your kids are so big now, and you’re still this adorable."
Cecilia was speechless for a moment.
"If Simon was really that clueless, do you think I’d let him join headquarters?" Charles said dotingly. "But you, it’s fine to be a little silly—it just makes me look smarter! Your intelligence is plenty for running Danni Corporation."
Cecilia shot him a look, "We’ve been married for so many years, and you still tease me like this."
Charles suddenly hugged Cecilia and kissed her, "Because your little pouty face is just too cute!"
The two of them cuddled in the woods, while everyone else was busy elsewhere.
After Charles and Cecilia’s luggage was sent to their room, Mrs. A said to Mr. Wang, "Looks like there’s going to be some drama these next two days."
"You think so too?" Mr. Wang and Mrs. A were perfectly in sync as a couple. "But since Madam likes it, let’s just enjoy the excitement with her."
"Yeah." Mrs. A smiled, "I’m not worried about Madam, and the young master and young miss will be fine too. I just hope things don’t get out of hand. If something really happens, we’ll have to put the big picture first."
