Chapter 361: Super Dad is online, Mr. Xiao changes diapers

Ever since this delicate little princess came into the family, Xiao Xuezheng's life has completely gone astray, from that of a strategizing overlord of a business empire to that of a flustered novice dad.

His priceless study is now filled with various parenting books, from "Illustrated Guide to Infant and Child Massage" to "Neonatal Psychology Analysis", which are thicker than the financial statements on his desk.

That afternoon, Shi Runrun had just taken a nap in the bedroom when she was awakened by a burst of noise coming from the baby's room.

She put on her coat, walked over, pushed open the half-open door, and the scene before her almost made her laugh out loud.

The man who usually looked so noble and arrogant, with his clothes not wrinkled even during meetings, was now half-kneeling on the soft carpet in an extremely awkward posture.

His white shirt sleeves were rolled up high, his tie was askew, and his handsome face was full of seriousness and confusion, as if he was facing a difficult negotiation involving tens of billions of dollars.

The person he was "negotiating" with was their little daughter, who was only a few days old and lying on the changing table.

The little princess seemed to have no face for her domineering father at all. Her two short legs were kicking restlessly and she was making "yay" sounds of protest from her mouth.

"Don't move!" Xiao Xue Zheng frowned and lowered his voice to a very low level, trying to use the aura he had when he was in a board meeting to intimidate this little guy who was not even as long as his forearm.

"Dad is carrying out a very important task for you. Please cooperate."

As he spoke, he held a small diaper in his hand and gestured left and right, but he didn't know where to start.

Sister Li and the confinement nanny next to him wanted to go forward to help, but they were stopped by his look that said "Don't move".

He insisted on doing it himself.

This was his daughter's first time, and he had to be there in person.

Shi Runrun leaned against the door frame and watched him clumsily tear open the Velcro of the diaper. He used too much force and with a "swish", he almost tore the thin diaper in half.

He fumbled for the wet wipes again, but ended up pulling out a whole stack at once, spilling them all over the floor.

The whole process can be described as a disaster scene.

Shi Runrun finally couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

The laughter startled the man who was concentrating on "scientific research".

Xiao Xue Zheng raised his head and saw his wife leaning against the doorway, laughing so hard that her whole body shook. His handsome face instantly turned red, and a trace of embarrassment and anger flashed in his eyes.

"What are you laughing at!" He growled stubbornly, his ears red as if they were about to bleed. "Have you never seen someone change a diaper?!"

"I've seen it before," Shi Runrun said, smiling as she walked over and took the crumpled diaper from his hand. "But I've never seen anyone change a diaper like they were defusing a bomb."

She skillfully wiped her daughter's little butt clean, and then quickly changed it into a clean diaper. The whole process was smooth and took only a dozen seconds.

The little princess felt comfortable and stopped making a fuss immediately. She even waved her little fist at her mother and spit out a bubble of milk.

Xiao Xue Zheng stood aside, watching as the thing he had been struggling with for almost ten minutes was easily solved by his wife. His face turned pale and blue, and he felt that his dignity as a domineering boss was challenged like never before.

"I...it's my first time and I'm not familiar with the business." He argued stubbornly.

"Yes, yes, our President Xiao is very talented and will definitely learn it next time." Shi Runrun coaxed her daughter and smiled to soothe his fragile self-esteem.

She picked up her daughter, and the little one immediately rubbed against her arms, looking for the familiar warmth and milky scent.

Xiao Xue Zheng looked at this heartwarming picture of mother and daughter, and the slight sense of frustration in his heart was instantly replaced by a great sense of satisfaction and tenderness.

He walked over, gently put his arms around Shi Runrun's waist from behind, and held both mother and daughter in his arms.

His chin rested on her shoulder, and he looked at the small, soft, milk-scented little person in his arms with eyes so gentle that they could drip tears.

"She looks just like you," he whispered, his voice barely audible.

"The eyes look like yours." Shi Runrun also answered softly.

The little guy seemed to understand that they were discussing him. He blinked his big eyes like black grapes, opened his little mouth, and yawned delicately.

That adorable look instantly melted the hearts of the two new parents.

"By the way, you haven't named your daughter yet." Shi Runrun suddenly remembered this.

This question instantly allowed Mr. Xiao to find an area where he could regain his strength.

He immediately let go of her, and his expression returned to that confident look of being in control of everything.

"I'm ready." He cleared his throat and spoke slowly in a tone as if he was about to announce a major plan.

"I consulted all the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign classics, combined with the I Ching and Eight Diagrams, the Five Elements, and astrological fortune, and selected 108 names."

"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, I will hold a family meeting and use a PowerPoint presentation to explain in detail the meaning and origin of each name, as well as its strategic impact on her future life."

"You can vote then."

Shi Runrun: “…”

Sister Li and the confinement nanny: "..."

It's just a name for a child, why make it like a presidential campaign?

This man is really hopeless.

At nine o'clock the next morning, the luxurious reception room in the Xiao family villa, which was usually used to receive distinguished guests, was filled with a solemn and eerie atmosphere.

On the huge LCD screen, a line of bold black characters was clearly displayed - "Seminar on the naming strategy for the fourth generation core members of the Xiao family."

Shi Runrun was holding the little princess who was still sleeping soundly in her cradle, sitting on the sofa in the main seat. Looking at the man opposite her who was dressed in a suit and tie, with his hair combed meticulously and sitting upright, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Next to her, the three little ones, Weilai, Fengfeng and Yanyan, were also sitting on small stools in an orderly manner, with juice and snacks specially prepared by Sister Li in front of them. They were waiting for the meeting to begin with serious faces.

Xiao Xuezheng cleared his throat, picked up the laser pointer and pointed it at the screen.

"Okay, family members, the meeting begins now."

He spoke seriously, his expression as if what was about to begin was not a family meeting, but a summit that would influence the world's economic landscape.

"First of all, on behalf of myself and our family, I would like to once again extend my warmest welcome to the new member."

As he spoke, he even led the applause in a serious manner.

Fengfeng and Yanyan immediately followed suit and clapped their hands, not knowing why. Only Weilai crossed his arms coolly, with an expression that said, "Is my dad crazy?"

"Ahem." Xiao Xue Zheng seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. He coughed again and quickly got to the point.

The PPT turned to the second page.

"The core guiding ideology of this naming is to combine the four principles of 'beautiful meaning', 'cultural heritage', 'international vision' and 'commercial value'."

When Shi Runrun heard the words "commercial value", his eyelids twitched again.

Does this man have an occupational disease?

"Based on the above principles, I provide you with three series of alternative plans."

Xiao Xue Zheng pressed the remote control in his hand, and the first series appeared on the screen.

"Option A: Use the family's generational naming system with the character 'qi'. For example, Xiao Qiya, Xiao Qixuan, and Xiao Qiyu. The advantage of this option is that it can highlight family heritage and strengthen the sense of identity. The disadvantage is that it is a bit traditional and lacks flexibility."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yanyan was the first to raise her hand.

"Dad, I don't want it! The word 'Qi' doesn't sound nice. My sister is a little princess and she doesn't want to be called such a boy's name!" The little girl pouted and was the first to vote against it.

Xiao Xuezheng nodded: "Yanyan's opinion is very pertinent. Let's record it. Then, let's look at plan B."

Screen switching.

"Option B: Quote from classics and use poetic naming. This series of names is a selection I made from the Book of Songs, Chu Ci, and Tang and Song poetry."

He began to introduce them one by one.

"The first one is Xiao Yao. It's taken from 'A graceful lady is a good match for a gentleman.' It means that my daughter will have outstanding appearance and elegant temperament in the future."

"The second one is Xiao Peijiu. It's taken from the poem "Li Sao" 'Holding the jade in my arms, I don't know what to show you.' Jiu means a beautiful stone like jade. It implies that the daughter has noble character, as pure as jade."

"The third one is Xiao Qingcheng. I don't need to explain this in detail. One smile can conquer a city, and another can conquer an entire country."

Shi Runrun listened to these names and thought they were all pretty good and very meaningful.

But before she could express her opinion, the future, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke coolly.

"It's too complicated," the eldest son said succinctly. "Writing my name has too many strokes and it's tiring."

This reason is very powerful and practical.

Xiao Xuezheng glanced at his eldest son approvingly. "This is a very forward-thinking plan. Very good. Now, let's move on to my personal preference: Plan C."

A mysterious and confident smile appeared on his face, and he pressed the last option.

Several large golden characters suddenly appeared on the screen.

“Option C: Strategic Forward-Looking Nomenclature!”

An extremely ominous premonition arose in Shi Runrun's heart.

Xiao Xue Zheng began his explanation in a tone full of pride and expectation.

"The first alternative is Xiao Airun. Ai means admiration. Run means you, Shi Runrun. This name simply and directly announces to the world that she is the fruit of the love between me, Xiao Xuezheng, and you, Shi Runrun."

Shi Runrun's cheeks instantly became hot.

This man... why is he so straightforward!

"The second alternative is Xiao Weiyi. It means she is my only one and the only princess in our family."

"The third alternative..." Xiao Xue Zheng paused, took a deep breath, and announced the best answer in his mind in a tone that was almost declarative.

"Xiao! Sheng! Yi!"

"Victory?" Shi Runrun was stunned for a moment.

"Yes." Xiao Xuezheng's eyes were shining. "Nine out of ten things in life are not as you wish, but I hope that my daughter's life can surpass everyone's expectations in everything. I want her to succeed in everything and have a smooth life, unmatched by anyone!"

His domineering explanation silenced everyone present.

Even in the future, a hint of emotion flashed in those cool eyes.

Shi Runrun looked at his eyes that were full of expectation and fatherly love, and the softest part of her heart felt like it was hit hard by something, feeling sore and soft.

This man always expresses his deepest love in his own domineering and clumsy way.

He condensed all his best wishes for his daughter into this name.

"I like this." Shi Runrun held the little guy in her arms, her voice as gentle as water, "Let's call him Xiao Shengyi. Nickname... let's call him Yiyi."

"Yiyi..." Xiao Xuezheng repeated the name in a low voice, the light in his eyes becoming brighter.

He walked over and carefully took the little guy from Shi Runrun's arms. The little guy seemed to understand that he had a name and was smacking his lips.

He lowered his head and placed a precious kiss on the pink forehead.

"Hello, Xiao Shengyi."

"Welcome, my Yiyi."
