"His father and mother both died because of me."

Yang Yan said lightly.

This sentence was directed at Zhou Hanyun, who had just sat beside him and poured him a cup of tea.

Zhou Hanyun didn't speak, she just sat there quietly, listening to Yang Yan's confession.

"It was a tragic accident. Now, whenever I close my eyes, the resolute expressions of both of them appear in my mind."

"Forget it, let's not talk about those things. Overall, Heaven hasn't been too harsh on me. At least it allowed me to meet her, giving me a chance to make amends."

"However, looking at her, it's as if she's mysteriously gained a few extra years. But that will have to be investigated slowly later."

Zhou Hanyun looked at Yang Yan quietly, knowing that this man had thousands of words he wished to say to someone, but he couldn't find the words.

But at least one thing is certain, this little girl named Dawn is very important to him.

So she had silently made up her mind to do everything she could to take good care of her.

"Let's go, let's go out shopping, to buy some decent clothes for Dawn."

Zhou Hanyun stood up and said.

Upon hearing they were going out shopping, Ruyi was the most excited.

She pulled Cai'Er and Dawn along, running towards her room.

Of course, Zhou Hanyu wasn't to be outdone, and hurriedly went back to her room to change clothes.

This time they were quite efficient, and soon came out in new clothes.

Additionally, Miss Zhou Er had even put on a delicate light makeup.

Dawn followed behind Ruyi and Cai'Er, without speaking.

However, you could tell she was very envious of Ruyi and Cai'Er.

"Let's go!"

Zhou Hanyun picked up a bag, slung it over her shoulder, and held Dawn's hand, saying.

Now there was another person, so Yang Yan went directly to the hotel to rent a business car.

Of course, Zhou Hanyun was still the driver.

This inevitably earned a sidelong glance from Zhou Hanyu.

Yang Yan somewhat awkwardly said:

"Why don't we just go buy a car? Since we've bought a house here we'll need a car anyway."

Zhou Hanyun considered for a moment and nodded:

"Hmm, okay. Otherwise, taking taxis all the time is indeed a bit inconvenient. But in the Imperial Capital, getting a license plate might not be so easy."

"No problem, I'll handle that. Let's just buy two cars, if a jewelry store opens in the future, we'll likely need to go out for social events. We might as well buy a Bentley or something to show off."

They immediately took action, this was Yang Yan's style.

A group of six people drove straight towards the "Great World" here.

This "Great World" was also Hao Jian's business.

However, compared to the Eastern Great World in the East Sea, the name here was slightly changed to Northern Great World.

Hao Jian mentioned to him when he learned Yang Yan was coming here, that if Yang Yan needed anything, he could just give orders here directly.

Although the name of Northern Great World differs from Eastern Great World, its scale is equally large.

There are all kinds of shops open here, you can buy clothes for Dawn or buy cars all at once.

As soon as she walked in, Dawn couldn't help but curiously observe everything around her.

She had never been to a place like this before.

Although not all of them are upscale consumer places, they were beyond her means.

In the previous years, when her grandmother was still in good health, she used to do small jobs with the old lady, and although they worked hard, their income was barely enough to live on.

Though life was hard, it was very joyful.

But good times didn't last, after her grandmother fell ill a year ago, she had to go out by herself to scavenge, barely making a living for both of them.

Later, by chance, she was noticed by an old employee at a housing agency who felt sorry for her and found ways to feed her.

Initially, she learned those housing agency things from this old employee, and with his care, her income was quite stable.

Unfortunately later, due to issues at home, this old employee resigned, and other people started to bully her in various ways.

Although she still got eight hundred yuan a month, she was made to do cleaning work with hardly any commission.

When she met Yang Yan that day, it was her grandmother's birthday, and seeing Yang Yan struggling to find anybody, she gathered her courage and took out previously organized materials to try to earn some money for a proper birthday for her grandmother.

Who knew that things would end up like this?

"Dawn, don't be nervous. Tell Daddy what you like, and Daddy will buy it for you."

Yang Yan smiled at Dawn and said.

Upon hearing Yang Yan's words, Dawn shook her head lightly, saying nothing.

Yang Yan furrowed his brows slightly, wanting to say something, but was stopped by Zhou Hanyun.

She took Dawn's hand, leading the little girl to wander around the mall aimlessly.

"Dawn, how old are you this year?"

On the side, Zhou Hanyu took the opportunity to ask in a low voice.

"I... I'm twelve years old this year."

Dawn hesitated for a moment and then said immediately.

Hearing this, Yang Yan couldn't help but furrow his brows.

In the Hidden World, this girl was only two years old.

However, she was sent away seven years ago.

So normally, she should be nine years old.

That means this girl had grown three extra years.

Yang Yan thought about it, this seemed somewhat similar to how Xu Yi lost several years.

Except one gained more years, while the other lost.

But the specific reason remains unknown for now.

The products of the "Northern Great World" were just as numerous, so much so that Dawn's eyes were dazzled.

Along the way, Dawn was always looking at the items in the cabinets, her expression full of curiosity.

Of course, there was a hint of excitement.

Occasionally, she would stop for a longer time to look inside.

It's clear she liked them very much.

Unfortunately, every time Zhou Hanyun offered to buy them for her, she stubbornly refused.

Seeing Yang Yan look worried all the way, Zhou Hanyun softly comforted him:

"Don't rush, take it slow. She should be fine after some time together."

Yang Yan sighed lightly, looking at Dawn's frail figure:

"Hopefully! I don't know how to express my feelings now; I want to give her my very best, but yet I don't know how to give it."

If Yang Yan's feelings for Cai'Er and Ruyi were compassion, then for Dawn, he felt more guilt.

"Take it slow."

Zhou Hanyun patted his arm and continued silently following behind Dawn in this shopping endeavor where they only looked but didn't buy.

Finally, the three little girls stood in front of a small store selling cotton candy, all of them eagerly eyeing the cartoon cotton candy inside.
