Beloved One of the Prestigious Household

Three-and-a-half-year-old little girl, also known as Ann, lived a life of scarcity and hardship in an orphanage, where even a single steamed bun could lead to beatings and scoldings from the headma...

Chapter 26: Of course, I want to be with Daddy

Qin Haochen thought about how Ann could understand the language of the big white goose, so he approached the door with a skeptical mindset.

To his surprise, Ann was not mistaken; it was his assistant, He Yan, walking back and forth outside.

He Yan suddenly snapped back to reality and immediately resumed his professional demeanor, saying, "Sir, these documents require your immediate attention as they are quite urgent."

Qin Haochen nodded, gesturing for him to come in.

He Yan quickly entered the president’s office, neatly placing the documents on the desk.

After finishing his tasks, He Yan turned around and saw Ann sitting obediently on the sofa, blinking her round eyes at him.

He Yan was almost overwhelmed by Ann’s curious and adorable expression. His voice couldn’t help but soften, adopting a refined tone, "Ann."

"Uncle He!" Qin Sui’an pursed her lips, her childish voice sweetly praising, "Uncle He looks handsome in his new clothes!"

He Yan’s first reaction was to lower his head and look at his own clothes.

He was extremely surprised and looked back at her, "Ann, how did you notice that I changed my clothes?"

His clothes were mostly white shirts, sometimes paired with a black suit jacket.

Sometimes even he himself almost forgot which ones were clean and which ones were not yet laundered.

"Uncle He’s clothes in the morning were a little wrinkled!"

Qin Sui’an replied in her sweet and childish voice, raising her little hand and pinching her thumb and pinky together, making a cute gesture indicating "a little bit".

Then, she shook her little head and pointed to the clothes He Yan was currently wearing, "Now Uncle He is wearing these new clothes, they won’t be wrinkled!"

He Yan became even more astonished. He slightly opened his mouth and took a while before sincerely saying, "Ann, your observation is meticulous. You noticed even the slightest changes. Ann is truly amazing!"

Upon hearing Uncle He’s praise, Qin Sui’an happily curved her round eyes and patted her little tummy, saying, "Ann is a little bit amazing!"

Qin Haochen watched the joyful appearance of Ann and couldn’t help but smile along.

He Yan no longer disturbed the president’s work and reluctantly bid farewell to Ann before leaving the office.

Qin Haochen approached Ann, but before he could speak, he heard her small voice saying, "Daddy is going to work, Uncle He said it’s urgent."

Qin Sui’an’s expression was very serious, her childish voice sincere.

Qin Haochen’s steps halted, under the stern gaze of Ann, he didn’t dare to take another step forward.

Helplessly, he chuckled and indulgently said, "All right, Daddy will go to work, and Ann can play by herself. If you need anything, just find Daddy."

Qin Sui’an nodded vigorously, "Yes! Ann will play by herself! Daddy, go to work!"

Being "dismissed" by Ann, Qin Haochen didn’t feel the slightest displeasure. On the contrary, he felt a sweet and joyful sensation.

He approached his desk, sat on the office chair, and first glanced sideways at Ann sitting obediently on the sofa not far away.

Seeing that she didn’t show any negative emotions, he began to attend to his work.

Qin Sui’an blinked her big eyes, looked around, and seemed a bit restless.

She wiggled her bottom and asked softly, "Daddy, can Ann take a walk?"

"Of course, Ann can go wherever she wants."

Qin Haochen immediately stopped and responded to her with a gentle gaze.

"Great! Ann will just walk around Daddy’s office, not going anywhere else!"

After saying this, Qin Sui’an used both her hands and feet, wiggling her bottom as she slid down from the sofa to the floor.

Her small body landed safely, and she happily patted her little tummy, praising herself in her childish voice, "Ann is great!"

Qin Haochen secretly paid attention to the movements of Ann.

Seeing this, he silently smiled.

Qin Sui’an took small steps, her skirt swaying gently with her tiny strides.

She walked to the large French window, holding onto the clean transparent glass with her little hands.

Her face was almost pressed against the window, her round eyes filled with astonishment as she gazed at the scenery outside.

Tall buildings, bustling traffic, and numerous people walking on the streets, all of this was a sight Ann had never seen before.

She blinked her round eyes, standing in front of the French window, occasionally turning her little head to glance at her daddy, as if confirming that her daddy was working well.

Qin Haochen quickly dealt with the urgent documents, picked up the phone on his desk, and dialed He Yan’s office number, asking him to come and take them away.

Then, Qin Haochen slowed down, handling other matters while keeping an eye on Ann.

From his perspective, the back of Ann’s head was round and adorable, as she obediently looked outside, appearing cute and lovely.

Daddy and daughter, one working and the other enjoying the view, not disturbing each other but caring for one another.

The atmosphere was particularly harmonious and warm.

During this time, He Yan entered the office twice.

Once to take the documents and the other time to bring some snacks for Ann.

Qin Sui’an had already eaten the snacks, her tummy was not hungry, and the view outside the window was constantly changing.

There were people walking, cars passing by, and various shapes of white clouds in the sky.

She couldn’t get enough of it.

After Qin Huoran finished his official duties, it was already past eleven o’clock in the morning.

His slender fingers grasped the pen, and he signed his name on the final document before closing it.

Eagerly, he immediately stood up and walked towards his little girl of joy, speaking to her in a tone of reporting to his superior, saying, "Ann, Daddy has finished his work."

Qin Sui’an turned her little head and revealed an adorable smile, her voice filled with childishness as she praised, "Daddy is amazing!"

Qin Huoran couldn’t help but smile, walking up to her and crouching down, gently embracing her tiny body.

He asked softly, "Ann, would you like to continue enjoying the scenery?"

Qin Sui’an glanced at the window, then at Daddy, seemingly making a decision.

In the next moment, her round eyes curved, and she happily replied, "No need to look anymore!"

Once her daddy was done with work, she could stay with him!

Qin Huoran lifted Ann in his arms and said, "Then let’s go have lunch."

"Okay!" Qin Sui’an’s sweet and tender voice sounded, leaning happily against Daddy’s embrace.

Considering that Qin Sui’an would need to take an afternoon nap, Qin Huoran didn’t take her to a restaurant outside but instead took the elevator to the employee cafeteria of Qin Corporation.

The employee cafeteria was located on the sixth floor of the corporate building, occupying an entire floor with different sections for Chinese, Western, and buffet-style cuisines, allowing employees to choose according to their preferences.

Qin Huoran was worried that Qin Sui’an might not be accustomed to other types of food, so he brought her to the Chinese food section.

Each dining area had a private and secluded booth, perfect for privacy, exclusively reserved for Qin Haochen and Qin Sui’an.

Thus, he didn’t have to worry about anyone disturbing their mealtime together.

However, there always seemed to be someone who liked to go against the norm.
