Chapter 115

After the New Year, Xu Qingyan and Jiang Yan took Paopao abroad for their honeymoon, while He Nianzhu started filming her new drama and joined the crew. The responsibility of taking care of the cub's mother fell to Xu Niancheng.

To make it easier to care for the cubs' mother, Xu Niancheng plans to bring Xu Yirou to the villa where she works to look after her.

In front of the mirror in the bathroom, Xu Yirou held a small bear-shaped towel in her hands and carefully wiped her face and neck clean.

Her dark, grape-like eyes didn't blink. After confirming that her face was clean, she smiled sweetly at herself in the mirror.

She jumped off the stool and ran outside, shouting, "Xiao Bao, I need to put on some lotion!"

"Mom's here."

Xu Niancheng took out a box of baby cream, scooped out a small piece with her finger, and applied it to Xu Yirou's cheeks and forehead.

Xu Yirou tilted her head back, still worried, and reminded him, "Xiao Bao, be gentle, okay? Be very gentle."

The way her two sons rubbed potatoes still haunted her.

Xu Niancheng bent down, palms facing upwards, and asked playfully, "Mom, look what this is?"

Xu Yirou held her daughter's fingers, looked them over from side to side, and looked up in bewilderment: "There's nothing there."

“These are such beautiful hands, Mom, hands that have never done any housework.” Xu Niancheng said, her fingers beginning to move.

Her palms were delicate and soft, and her ten fingers were slender and tender like green onions, without a trace of calluses.

"How are you? Does it hurt?"

The cub whimpered, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt~"

"Now you know the difference, right?" Xu Niancheng took the opportunity to pinch her mother's jelly-like cheeks. "Don't compare me to my two older brothers, those two rough guys, anymore."

Being served by such pampered hands, Xu Yirou closed her eyes comfortably, feeling bubbly with happiness.

She pouted her rosy lips and gave a kiss: "Little Bao, Mommy knows, so can you help me put on lotion from now on?"

Xu Niancheng's heart blossomed with joy: "Absolutely!"

"Okay, Mom, we should go out now."

"Wait, I need to bring my little bunny with me."

Xu Niancheng helped her mother put on her little hat, took her special water bottle and small backpack, and led the baby mother out the door.

The engine's deep roar kicked up dust, and the wild, bright red sports car, unlike its usual flamboyant and unrestrained self, drove slowly like an old man's car.

Xu Yirou lay on the spacious back seat, the smooth ride giving her a sense of security, like being in a cradle, and she could fall asleep at any moment.

Xu Niancheng looked at the situation behind her through the rearview mirror and smiled.

On the first day back to work after the Lunar New Year holiday, Xu Niancheng generously gave her employees substantial "back-to-work red envelopes," easing their anxieties about resuming work.

The mother and daughter were immediately struck by the cheerful atmosphere of the office area as they entered.

The assistant, carrying a cup of coffee, noticed her sharp eyes and strode over to greet her: "Sister Niancheng, good morning! You've become even more beautiful after the New Year!"

Xu Niancheng tossed her hair and teased in return, "The red envelope wasn't given in vain; you've taken sweet talk to a whole new level over the New Year."

The assistant lowered her head shyly, then suddenly met a pair of clear, bright eyes.

Hmm, this looks familiar.

"..."

!!

"Oh my, isn't this Rou Rou baby?"

The assistant covered her mouth with one hand and made a sound of shock.

Xu Yirou tilted her head, revealing her adorable dimples: "Hello, sister, I'm Rou Rou."

The voice is exactly the same, oh my god, it really is chubby!

The assistant was so excited she almost jumped out of the water: "Rou Rou, it really is you! How did you get here!"

The assistant's voice was loud enough that everyone in the office area could hear it clearly.

Pairs of eyes turned towards them, then fixed on them, magnifying them.

"Oh, am I seeing things?"

"...Probably not, because I saw the chubby baby too."

"Oh my god, the first guest we invited after resuming work is Rou Rou?" The operations team leader was the first to stand up, looking both surprised and delighted.

Then he took out his phone and scrolled through it, looking blank: "I don't think I received any notification."

Generally, inviting celebrities to a live broadcast requires at least half a month of preparation in advance, so as to contact their teams and finalize the specific details.

This was the first time a guest had made a surprise appearance, and everyone present was caught off guard.

Xu Niancheng said casually, "Rou Rou isn't a guest; I brought her here to have fun."

Everyone was stunned.

Playing?

The assistant had a sudden inspiration, her pupils twitched, and she stammered, "Sister Niancheng, you...you wouldn't happen to be the legendary Xiaobao, would you?"

As everyone knows, Rou Rou Baby has three treasures: the eldest is the cold-faced CEO Xu Qingyan, the second is the top celebrity He Nianzhu with tens of millions in assets, and the third is skillful but has a mysterious identity.

There has been much speculation online about the true identity of the mysterious Xiao Bao, ranging from popular young actresses to obscure internet celebrities, but no one has ever officially claimed to be the real person.

With two powerful older brothers, Xiao Bao is undoubtedly a super rich and beautiful girl!

Everyone in the studio thought the assistant was daydreaming; how could such a rich and beautiful woman be hiding among them?

Which rich and beautiful woman likes going to work?

Xu Niancheng's eyebrows curved, and her eyes shone with a bright light. She chuckled and said, "Not bad reaction speed. That's right, I am the little treasure that Rou Rou mentioned."

The air went still, and you could hear the sound of someone gasping for breath.

The people who were slapped in the face at lightning speed no longer cared about whether their faces hurt or not.

The case is solved!

No wonder she can afford to use a villa as her studio, wear different designer bags and clothes every day, and drive a top-of-the-line sports car at the age of twenty. Turns out she's a super-rich heiress!

With the He family's background and status, she is definitely a socialite and heiress from high society!

The group looked at each other silently, biting their lips to try not to laugh too loudly.

What's the difference between working for a rich girl and clinging to a powerful figure? They were secretly worried about what would happen if the studio went bankrupt halfway through, but now they don't have to worry at all.

Hahaha, the happiness of working people is so simple and down-to-earth.

"Good morning everyone, my name is Rou Rou, and I am Xiao Bao's parent."

Xu Yirou couldn't understand the deeper meaning in everyone's eyes, but she sweetly stepped forward to greet them, speaking in an adult-like tone:

"Thank you everyone for taking care of my baby, you've all worked so hard~"

There were already a few Xu Yirou fans in the studio, and when they heard this, they shook their heads so hard they almost turned into propellers: "It's not hard work, it's not hard work at all!"

Xu Niancheng is very demanding of them, and it is common for them to be busy without rest. She is also very ruthless when it comes to scolding people for making mistakes at work.

—But they gave a lot.

For the same job, others get 3,000, but she gets 10,000. When she's in a good mood, she sends out small red envelopes in the group chat, and even if she's unlucky, she can still grab 300 to 500.

They offer generous social insurance and housing fund contributions, along with quarterly bonuses, year-end bonuses, and a 14th-month salary.

I heard that the employee benefits at Senming Group are about the same. If you round it up, there's no difference between working at Senming Group and working there.

With Xu Niancheng's highly valuable identity exposed, the entire studio became even more united and devoted.

Xu Niancheng led the cub's mother to the second-floor audio-visual room. After the three siblings agreed to take turns caring for the cub, she renovated the audio-visual room.

It has evolved from an initial sophisticated minimalist style to a lively and bright dopamine style.

The sofa is orange, the curtains are pink gauze, the cushions are colorful, and the TV cabinet is filled with all sorts of cute little ornaments.

The walls are covered with graffiti of well-known cartoon characters, making it look exactly like a children's room.

The moment Xu Yirou entered, she was deeply attracted by the whimsical home theater.

"Wow, it's Doraemon and Nobita!"

"Totoro, Totoro, a giant Totoro!!"

"They're my favorite characters, Big Bear and Little Bear, they're so cool!"

Although I don't understand what's so cool about two silly bears, as long as Mom likes them, that's fine.

Xu Niancheng's eyes were soft as she responded to the cub's mother while quickly preparing snacks and turning on the TV.

"Mom, I have to go to a meeting. You can watch two episodes of TV here, then do your homework. If you don't understand something, come find me next door."

Xu Yirou's attention was entirely on the wall, and she replied absentmindedly, "Xiaobao, you go ahead, Mommy will take good care of herself."

Xu Niancheng glanced at the time, tore open a small bread roll, stuffed it into her hand, and hurriedly left.

Xu Yirou was watching cartoons and eating snacks in the media room. The heating was on very high, and she soon got so hot that she took off two layers of clothing.

Wearing only a thin long-sleeved shirt, she rolled around on the sofa.

Worried that she would be bored by herself, Xu Niancheng arranged for a new intern to keep her company.

On the first day back to work after the new year, Xu Niancheng methodically arranged the work for the first month, and then ended the morning meeting with a few simple words of encouragement.

"Mom... cough, Your Highness."

Intern: Pfft.

Princess, Your Highness... that's pretty anime-like.

Interns are still at an age where they can't hide anything; their downcast, smirking manner shows a complete lack of skill.

Xu Niancheng glanced at her with a half-smile, slightly raising her chin: "Is it that funny?"

Intern: 0.0

His smile vanished, he looked down to find a hole in the ground, his mind temporarily wandering: "I... I guess so."

Xu Niancheng raised her hand and patted her gently, saying, "Then I'll try to make it funnier next time."

Intern: It shattered peacefully.

"Xiao Bao, you're back!" Xu Yirou called out sweetly, but her eyes were glued to the television.

Xu Niancheng glanced down and saw that the table was piled with scattered snack wrappers, but one thing was missing.

"Your Highness, where is your homework?"

"..."

"Your Highness, it's time to do your homework."

Xu Yirou silently turned her body and buried her head in the sofa, her round little bottom facing her daughter.

"Where did this little ostrich come from?"

Xu Niancheng was both amused and exasperated. She walked closer and patted her back: "Didn't we agree that you would do your homework after watching two episodes of TV? Do you want to go back on your word?"

The cub's voice, muffled, came from the crack in the sofa: "I hate homework, my hands hurt when I do it."

"So your eyes don't hurt when you watch TV?"

"It doesn't hurt."

Watching TV is so much fun; there's food and entertainment to enjoy.

Xu Niancheng stroked her chin, pretending to think: "I heard that overuse of the eyes can cause numbness, loss of pain, and eventually blindness."

"impossible."

Xu Yirou hurriedly pulled her head out, her hair a mess, and her sweet little voice rose: "Xiaobao, don't try to scare me. I've only watched four episodes of TV, it's only been a short while, it's normal that it doesn't hurt."

"Your Highness, have you forgotten that you watched TV all day yesterday, and all day the day before yesterday?"

Xu Yirou was speechless.

He nervously chewed on his fingers: "I've seen it many times before, and nothing ever happened."

It must be Xiaobao scaring her.

Xu Niancheng didn't argue with her. She looked thoughtful and nodded in agreement: "Thinking about it, you're right. I was just too nervous."

She patted the mother cub's head: "Then you continue watching, I'll go and get back to work."

Xu Yirou quietly exhaled and smiled broadly.

Before leaving, Xu Niancheng instructed the intern to take good care of the boss. Staring at the boss's dashing figure as he left, the intern was full of questions.

No, she just left looking so fresh and beautiful?

Are we just going to let the cubs grow up like this forever?

The intern is very concerned.

Just as Xu Yirou was taking a sweet nap around noon, and the intern was also preparing to doze off, suddenly—

A furtive figure lurked at the doorway.

Upon closer inspection, lo and behold, it's the boss!

Xu Niancheng tiptoed in, raised her index finger to signal for silence, and then, under the bewildered gaze of the intern, pulled out an eyeshadow palette and a fluffy brush.

Slowly, it reaches out towards the sleeping cub.

Through a series of stealthy actions, the chubby little dumpling was transformed into a panda with dark circles under her eyes.

Looking at her masterpiece, Xu Niancheng smiled with satisfaction.
