Ye Tian leaned back in his chair as the trading graphs stabilized. Everything was proceeding precisely as he had predicted. He didn't even need to interfere anymore—the system's automatic investment plan was a money-printing machine.
With a flick of his fingers, he closed the translucent interface and glanced at the clock: 3:05 p.m.
"Still early," he murmured, a rare softness in his tone. "The little ones deserve a treat."
He picked up the car keys as he went out.
Soon, Ye Tian appeared by the courtyard gate, dressed casually in a fitted grey hoodie and jeans, effortlessly stylish. Waiting eagerly at the front were his three nieces—Miaomiao, the bright and energetic one, and the quieter, gentle twin sisters, Linlin and Yueyue
[Yaya to Yueyue]
"Uncle!" Miaomiao beamed and bounded toward him. "Where are we going?"
Ye Tian smiled, ruffling her hair. "Somewhere fun. A reward for being such good girls."
The twins clutched their tiny handbags, following closely. Their big, curious eyes sparkled.
"Yay!" the three shouted in unison as they hopped into the car.

They headed to Blue Lake International Mall, the largest luxury complex in the city, a place where even elites had to make reservations for private lounges.
Inside, sunlight streamed through glass ceilings onto elegant marble floors. Fountains danced in the central plaza, and digital billboards shimmered with high-end brands. The air smelled faintly of orchids and polished wood.
The girls gasped in awe. Miaomiao took the lead, dragging Ye Tian's hand as she ran toward the children's section. "Uncle, look! They have a Disney corner!"
"Let's go!" Linlin whispered excitedly to Yueyue, who nodded with a shy smile.
They started in the clothing section. The attendants raised their brows at first—three lively kids? But once they saw Ye Tian's card and demeanor, their attitudes changed in an instant.
"Feel free to browse. If anything catches your eye, just let me know," Ye Tian said casually.
Miaomiao dashed between racks, holding up frilly dresses, pastel tops, and matching shoes. She picked a puffy white dress covered in sparkles and hugged it like a treasure. "Uncle, this one! I wanna be a fairy!"
Ye Tian chuckled. "Go ahead, try it on."
The twins chose matching lilac princess dresses, holding hands even in the fitting rooms.
When they emerged, the sight melted Ye Tian's heart. The three girls looked like they'd stepped out of a fantasy book—sparkling, radiant, full of joy.
"You three look like royalty," Ye Tian praised sincerely. "But something's missing…"
He turned and bought three silver tiaras inlaid with crystals, placing one gently on each of their heads.
"Now, perfect."
"Can we take pictures?" Miaomiao asked, eyes shining.
They spent nearly twenty minutes snapping photos in the boutique photo booth and even got custom-printed albums.
Afterward, they raided the toy store. Miaomiao grabbed a unicorn doll that sang when pressed. Xinxin found a building block castle, and Yueyue quietly reached for a miniature piano.
Ye Tian didn't hesitate. "Put them all in the cart."
They moved on to the food court—ice cream with sprinkles, chocolate waffles, and a rare imported fruit juice stall. The girls' laughter echoed in the air.
"Uncle, you're the best!" Miaomiao declared, hugging his waist tightly.
Two hours passed like a dream. They even visited the indoor aquarium, where glowing jellyfish floated in blue-lit tunnels.
By the time they returned to the courtyard house, the sun was slipping behind the rooftops, casting golden streaks across the old tiles.

The dinner table that evening was lively.
The eldest sister,second sister, and the visibly pregnant third sister had gathered. Their husbands returned home soon after, curious about the stack of bags that nearly buried the shoe rack.
"Where did all this come from?" the second in -law asked, amused.
"Uncle took us shopping!" Miaomiao proudly declared, twirling in her new dress. "And we ate sooo much ice cream and saw fishies and bought toys and—"
"Slow down, slow down," the third sister laughed.
The twins quietly lifted their skirts, showing off the frilly hems, while their tiaras sparkled under the light.
Ye Tian smiled. "They've been well-behaved lately. Thought I'd give them a little reward."
Third Sister chuckled. "You didn't hold back."
"You should've seen Uncle," Miaomiao continued dramatically. "He said we could buy anything! Even the singing unicorn!"
Laughter filled the room. Even the normally stern brothers-in-law were impressed.
The second sister went to fetch a pot of warm sweet soup. "You've worked hard too, but Tian , "You're spoiling them too much".
"They deserve it," Ye Tian replied with a wink. "Besides, they're going to school happy tomorrow."
The third sister, her belly visibly round with pregnancy, smiled warmly. "You've changed, little brother. More confident. And generous."
Ye Tian looked at his sisters, his heart swelling. These were the people who raised him, loved him, and stood by him. No matter how rich he became, this courtyard was still home.
The atmosphere softened. Glasses clinked, voices overlapped, and the cozy warmth of family soaked into every corner of the house.
After dinner, the three little girls finally ran out of energy. Ye Tian helped carry them to their beds. Miaomiao clutched her unicorn, already snoring. The twins curled up beside each other like peaceful kittens.
Ye Tian stood by the door, watching them sleep. A rare calm settled over him.
Back in his room, the moonlight spilled through the window. He gazed at the system panel
[Level 2- 5,350,000/10, 000,000]
Soon, the system will level up , then out in silence, reflecting on the day.
A notification popped up on his phone—a message from the school, reminding guardians of tomorrow's schedule.
He smiled.
