Chapter 37: A Sense of Security! The Competing Sisters:
The middle-aged woman was stunned.
In all her years of running this stall, she had never seen anyone win the top prize. It was rare enough for anyone to win even the 2nd or 3rd tier prizes.
Now, her heart was bleeding.
She had reluctantly spent fifty to sixty thousand yuan on that music box to attract customers.
Business had been getting better, and she had been thrilled, thinking it was worth the investment. But her joy quickly vanished in an instant.
With so many people watching, she couldn’t back out.
Feeling a bit fearful, she grudgingly wrapped up the music box and handed it to Xu Hao. She realized she had met her match today. She was terrified that he might continue to win all the valuable prizes at her stall.
However, Xu Hao had no interest in the junk at her stall. He only played because his daughters liked the music box, nothing more.
He handed the music box to his daughters and said, “Here you go.”
“Th-thank you,” Xu Shiqing stammered, accepting the bag. Despite their dislike toward Xu Hao, they couldn’t deny that he had been kind to them recently. Their impressions of him had started to change. Especially since he had won the music box just for them, given his wealth, he wouldn’t have cared about such trivial things otherwise.
Both daughters expressed their sincere gratitude.

“Let’s go,” Xu Hao said with a smile. “There’s a lot more fun waiting for us.”
They arrived at a group of amusement rides, and Xu Hao asked his daughters, “What do you want to try first? The horse ride or the Ferris wheel?”
Xu Shiqing and Xu Huayi’s faces changed.
“Please. We’re in our twenties, not little kids,” they thought.
“I want to ride the roller coaster,” Xu Huayi suggested. After Xu Hao’s two displays of skill, they no longer felt distant from him, which was exactly what Xu Hao had hoped for. He then looked at Xu Shiqing, who glared at her sister before nodding.
The three of them queued up for the roller coaster.
“Ahhhhh…!”
Passengers screamed as the coaster sped by, making Xu Shiqing a bit scared. But seeing her sister’s eager expression, she forced herself to hold on. Soon, the coaster stopped in front of them, and passengers began hopping off. Some looked exhilarated, some stumbled, and some were retching.
When it was their turn to get on, the crowd surged forward.
A boy with a face full of acne tried to squeeze between Xu Shiqing and Xu Huayi, his eyes filled with desire.
The twins were so beautiful that anyone would be amazed.
Most could control themselves, but some could not.
Xu Hao wrapped his arms around the twins, shielding them from the crowd.
As Xu Hao held the soft, fragrant twins, he marveled at how similar they felt. He wondered what differences there might be between them.
Then, he struck the aggressive boy with his elbow, sending a wave of pain through him. The boy’s face twisted, and he rolled over in agony.
The sisters stiffened when Xu Hao suddenly held them. Just as they were about to pull away, they saw the chaotic crowd and realized he was protecting them. Their resentment disappeared instantly.
While they hugged Xu Hao’s broad chest, their hearts raced. They felt an overwhelming sense of security.

[Ding! Xu Huayi…]
Under Xu Hao’s protection, the twins were unharmed. They took their seats on the roller coaster.
“I’ll sit in the middle,” Xu Hao said. “That way, if anything happens, I can react quickly…”
His reason wasn’t to enjoy being between them but to be ready to protect them if needed. This gesture won more favor from the sisters.
Moved by his thoughtfulness, the twins felt a shift in their feelings. Xu Hao noticed the change and knew they’d stopped rejecting him. He just needed the right moment for them to call him ‘Dad,’ and he had already planned for that moment.
After the roller coaster ride, Xu Huayi felt refreshed and not scared at all. She noticed her sister also seemed calm and found it odd.
“Sis, you were pale before the ride. How come you don’t look scared now? Aren’t you usually afraid of these things?”
“Nonsense, I’m not scared,” Xu Shiqing retorted and gave her sister a glare.
“Oh? Then how about the pendulum ride?” Xu Huayi challenged.
“Why wouldn’t I?” Xu Shiqing glanced cautiously at Xu Hao. She had indeed been scared on the roller coaster, but when Xu Hao held her hand, she felt enveloped in a sense of security and wasn’t afraid anymore.
