Chapter 999 Tomorrow Street

If you were to ask what the most worthwhile place to visit in the Metropolitan Area is, it would undoubtedly be Tomorrow Street, the most bustling commercial district in the metropolitan area.

The name of this street reveals that the Metropolis, the City of Tomorrow, named it after its own title, demonstrating the high regard the Metropolis holds for this street.

Tomorrow Street is home to many scientific research centers. The technology centers of large companies such as Wayne Technologies and Stagg Corporation are built here, bringing together almost all the crystallization of human technology on Earth. It truly deserves to be called Tomorrow Street.

However, Tomorrow Street contains far more than that; it is also the most prosperous commercial street in the metropolis, with clothing stores, luxury stores, jewelry stores, restaurants, beverage shops, food trucks, and everything else imaginable.

As the locals at the Metropolitan City say, Tomorrow Street will never disappoint.

Yang Le naturally chose this place for shopping. Walking from one end of Mingri Street to the other would be the perfect family time for any family.

Cassandra wasn't the only one excited; Diana's smile never faded either. Normally, she felt overwhelmed dealing with both her ordinary human and superhero identities, even as a demigod. Now, being able to relax with someone she loved was a rare treat, and she was naturally overjoyed.

“Perhaps you could quit your mortal job,” Yang Le tried again to persuade the Amazon princess. “You know we’re not short of money, so you can just be a hero during the day and a wife at night.”

Although the two haven't held a wedding yet, their relationship is already established.

Diana smiled and shook her head, saying, "I don't work for money, but to experience the lives of ordinary people, which helps me complete Wonder Woman's mission."

Yang Le knew this; Wonder Woman's job wasn't that of a traditional crime-fighting superhero, but rather just one of the tasks of Wonder Woman's role.

Diana seemed to be enjoying herself, so Yang Le didn't say anything more and cleverly shifted the topic to Cassandra.

"Don't you think our little princess needs a new dress?"

"Another one? Honey, Cassandra already has a whole wardrobe full of dresses, and Cassandra doesn't even like wearing dresses."

Just as Diana said, although Yang Le had given birth, he had never raised a child. In addition, Cassandra was a child with a tragic fate, which made him even more unable to help but pour more love into her.

The most direct manifestation of this was that Cassandra had far too many clothes, so much so that Diana and Yang Le even had to clear out a room to use as her walk-in closet.

Diana even complained about Yang Le, saying that her wardrobe didn't have as many clothes as Cassandra's, and that Yang Le's own clothes were barely enough to fill one closet, not even a fraction of Cassandra's.

There were so many clothes that Cassandra, who was still growing, couldn't possibly wear them all. Before she could even try them all on, Cassandra had grown too big to fit into them anymore.

There was no other way. Only after obtaining Cassandra's consent did Diana take out most of her clothes to donate, most of which were dresses. Judging from Cassandra's expression, if she wasn't worried about upsetting Yang Le, she would have donated all of her dresses.

Therefore, when this topic came up, not only did Diana disagree with him, but even Cassandra, who had been holding their hands, pulled her hand away and made a big X.

Diana's mother had taught her that buying unnecessary things was wasteful, and Cassandra, understanding the meaning of waste, disliked this behavior. Pouting, Yang Le reluctantly suppressed his urge to buy. Cassandra was very opinionated; if Yang Le forced her to buy the dress, he probably wouldn't be able to tell the little princess a bedtime story for the next week.

This was torture for both Cassandra and Yang Le, since in their eyes, they had long been father and daughter.

Yang Le felt sorry for Cassandra, who longed for her father's love. For the sake of the little princess and himself, he decided not to do anything unnecessary.

However, this still made Yang Le feel a little down. Cassandra's material desires were too low, and he didn't know how to satisfy her.

"No need for that, darling." Diana couldn't help but cover her mouth, finding Yang Le's low spirits over this kind of thing quite endearing.

"Cassandra is content as long as you are by her side; she doesn't need anything material to sustain her."

Cassandra nodded emphatically. That was exactly what she thought. Although Yang Le’s father buying her gifts made her happy, having these useless things sitting at home always made her feel empty, as if she were neglecting her father’s gifts.

This made Cassandra very upset, so when Diana suggested giving these things to those in need, she agreed, no matter how painful it was. Rather than letting them gather dust in her possession, it was better to give them to others to make full use of.

"I know, but..."

Yang Le sighed. This was a difference in values. When he was little, he would be happy for a long time if he received a gift from his parents.

Cassandra is so sensible it's heartbreaking. Oh no, the more I think about it, the more I want to punch David Cain, the kind with a nuclear fist.

Just as Yang Le was pondering this, he felt someone tug at his clothes. Looking down, he saw it was Cassandra, who was tugging at his clothes with one hand and pointing to the right with the other.

Following Cassandra's finger, you can immediately see a bookstore. Through the sparkling clean glass, you can see all sorts of colorful picture books displayed on the bookshelves near the entrance.

These picture books are mostly for children aged six to ten. However, due to the development of the times, various household appliances have recently entered homes, especially things like smartphones, tablets and game consoles.

These once expensive appliances can now be bought at relatively low prices, and as a result, they have replaced storybooks, picture books, and board games as the favorites of today's children.

However, Cassandra is an exception. She prefers books to appliances, so she always pesters Yang Le and Diana to teach her to read and write. Because of Cassandra's exceptional talent, she can now complete the most basic reading and writing tasks on her own.

For Cassandra, having her parents sit around her teaching her to read and write is her second favorite thing, but her favorite thing is still the story time before bedtime.

Because of these two hobbies, Yang Le's study bookshelves are now filled with all sorts of storybooks and picture books, which is the only thing Cassandra would ask Yang Le to buy for her.
