The aroma of stir-fried vegetables filled the air, and Mengmeng’s giggles provided a soothing background melody. Zhang Han cherished these moments—they were his anchor in a world that often felt unstable.

As they sat down to eat, Mengmeng looked up at him with her big, innocent eyes. «Daddy, can we go to the park tomorrow? I want to see the pretty flowers!» Zhang Han chuckled and nodded. «Of course, sweetheart. Anything for my little princess.»

That’s my promise as your father.»That evening, Zhang Han prepared dinner as Mengmeng played with her toys in the corner of the room.
