There were things that he failed to consider, or had hoped that in spite of the idea of the \'System\' being meant for him and possibly his Harem Members to use, there would be something for him to use in order to help a person he cared about—but there was none.

[ Current Charm Points: 70463 ]
If anything, some of the items even increased in charm points cost now that the Charm Shop increased in level. The CEO narrowed his eyes at the screen, before making a decision—
[ Deducting 5000 CP… ]
[ You Have Bought \'Harem Member Gift Set\'! ]
[ Items Will Temporarily Be Stored In The System Until Further Instructions ]
[ Host Can Choose To Take Out Item One By One ]
[ Would You Like To Check Contents? ]
It was an obvious \'Yes\' from him.
1x LSO Beauty and Facial Set
1x Picture-Perfect Perfume
1x Water of Rejuvenation (Vial)
1x Giant Pearl Storage
1x Tiny Pink Salmon (pet/consumable)
3x LoveLove Charm Talisman
3x Intergalactic Royal Jelly (consumable)
10x Rainbow Pearls Essence
25x Merfolk Dark Seaweed
The CEO stared at the contents with a mild hint of surprise and confusion, and then noticed Bao hovering above him and giving him a look. "What did you expect? It was meant for your Harem Member and you got yourself a Mermaid—it\'s meant for you to give it to her. But why the heck did they even include a fish? That\'s weird, even for me, but other than that everything else is concerned about beauty and appearances, huh?"
He paid half-attention to it talking, because Li Yang\'s attention was focused on one item alone.
[ Water of Rejuvenation ] (Rare)
A vial filled with the purest and cleanest waters across the Earthly Plane and is said to have come from a spring still untouched by foreign manipulations from its first burst. A life-giving water that can rejuvenate an individual from various states of impurity, poison and other afflictions which can cleanse the entire body and vital energies surrounding said body.
Can be consumed.
Out of everything else included in the \'Harem Member Gift Set\', this might have been the only thing that Li Yang could see as valuable. Everything else was indeed probably what Bai Minghua herself had wanted, but this item seemed to have come out because she got injured by the Tyrannical Merfolk from before.
Perhaps the other items were out of nostalgia for a home she couldn\'t return to.
Li Yang already made a mental note not to show the fish to Taiga, but he refocused back to the vial containing the Water of Rejuvenation and his hand hovered above the screen.
"Woah, woah, don\'t tell me that you\'re going to—" Bao covered its mouth with a paw. Chunhua was looking over at them with a curious look. Taiga none the wiser as she tapped the child\'s head for them to continue their game on the ground… Taiga had pebbles with her?
Li Yang glanced back at Luo Ju Di, the woman sleeping in her bed peacefully and at a \'stabilized\' state. He then looked back at the screen which showed him an important object that would surely make her rouse up from her condition… and he hesitated.
He wanted her to wake up, but it economically made little sense for him to use something high-grade and rare just for her to wake up.
And so he didn\'t.
Thus he had to take his daughter with him, or at least convince her to do so. Li Yang knelt in front of the child and offered his hand, "Chunhua, while your mother is still resting here in the hospital, I think it\'d be best for you to stay with me until she wakes up."
The little girl\'s expression wavered, looking away from Taiga to him. An obvious look of trepidation crossed her face, even though the child knew him.
"Do you have anybody else that your mother considers as your guardian? We can contact them if you\'d like." Perhaps there were grandparents somewhere else that could take care of Chunhua, especially if she didn\'t want to go with him—but the child shook her head and chose not to say a word.
What kind of life have they been living if it was just the two of them?
A sudden mumble sounded and then Taiga looked at him. "Chunhua says she wants to stay here until her mother wakes up."
Li Yang didn\'t know if he should be relieved that the child was talking to Taiga, but he accepted it. "I don\'t think a girl your age should be left alone."
"But who\'ll take care of Mama?"
It was a good question raised—which at least spoke of the child\'s kindness and care. However, his immediate concern was her and not necessarily Luo Ju Di. "The nurses and doctors here are capable of taking her, Chunhua."
The little girl wasn\'t exactly convinced, and so he had to summon both a nurse and a doctor to assure the child. That indeed, it was a firm yes that they would be taking good care of her mother and would inform Mister Li the very moment that her mother woke up.
It took about half an hour more of convincing, the girl\'s sheer reluctance to leave and an impatient-looking Panda that had them actually out of the hospital after she kissed her mother goodbye.
Li Yang himself couldn\'t say from experience that something like that happened to him, but the man would accept all the events with no complaints. And soon they were on their way back home, and it was how he spent his morning—
A sound of grumbling erupted from the backseat of the car.
"Taiga and Chunhua are hungry, Bossman!"
It was almost like he had more than one kid at this rate.
—-—-
Author\'s Note: In the CEO\'s shoes, I don\'t think anybody would have used up the Water of Rejuvenation for Luo Ju Di, would they? It almost sounds callous when I say it now, but preparing for the Rainy Days seems like the standard choice, right? o.o Thanks for reading!
