Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Workaholic Dad 3
Qin Jin was rarely upset. He held Zhuozhuo's back with one hand to prevent her from falling, and with the other hand he reached for his cell phone to find the paternity test report sent by Qin Xi, and saw the name on it: Qin Zhuo.
The childish voice that came from the phone that morning immediately rang in his ears, "Dad, it's Zhuozhuo!" A strange emotion surged in his heart.
"Zhuozhuo, your name is Zhuozhuo." Qin Jin held Zhuozhuo in his arms and said seriously, "Dad was wrong because I didn't pay attention to Zhuozhuo's name before. I didn't even remember to call you by your name after being together for so long. Dad didn't care about Zhuozhuo enough and it hurt Zhuozhuo."
He gently wiped away the tears on Zhuozhuo's face, "Zhuozhuo, I'm sorry, can you forgive daddy this time?"
Zhuozhuo's shoulders shrugged from crying. After hearing this, she pouted in grievance, "Then you must never forget Zhuozhuo's name in the future."
"I'll never forget it."
"Okay, I forgive you this time." Zhuozhuo was still a little angry, but he took the initiative to lean towards Qin Jin, put his arms around his neck, and rested his little head on his shoulder, looking very intimate and dependent.
The tender skin and warm breath made Qin Jin's heart surge again. He had never thought that he could call himself "Dad" so easily and even made such a promise as "for a lifetime". But children are really like angels and demons. It seems that they are born with the ability to manipulate adults with tears.
Qin Jin didn't feel like he was being manipulated, but he was also willing to cheer Zhuo Zhuo up. He patted Zhuo Zhuo's back and said, "I also want to apologize to Zhuo Zhuo. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called Zhuo Zhuo a little fool, even though you're so smart. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you just to refuse to admit my mistakes. This is compounding my mistakes."
After hearing this, Zhuozhuo laughed happily, held Qin Jin's face, and kissed him, "I forgive you for admitting your mistakes. I love you so much, Qin Jin Daddy!"
Qin Jin's heart felt as if it were illuminated by the sun, and warm blood pumped through his body. He thought, if children had ranks, Zhuozhuo would definitely be the king. She could easily influence the moods of adults without even crying.
She is worthy of being his daughter.
When Qian Wei brought in lunch, he noticed that the father and daughter, who had been strangers to each other twenty minutes ago, were now surrounded by a warm atmosphere that no outsider could intrude upon. He opened the package and was about to hand the children's cutlery to Zhuo Zhuo when he saw Qin Jin already picking up a cat-head meatball and feeding it to Zhuo Zhuo.
Zhuozhuo chewed and swallowed it, "Delicious! Daddy wants some too!"
But the children's set meal was small in quantity but varied in variety. There was only one cat-head meatball, so Qin Jin picked up a rabbit-head meatball and ate it. "Hmm! It's delicious. Zhuozhuo, have another one."
Qian Wei: "..." Mr. Qin, do you still remember that you have mysophobia?
Zhuozhuo ate another one and wanted Qin Jin to have another. Qin Jin pointed to the one next to him and said, "Dad has some too. I'll eat after you're full."
Zhuozhuo stopped talking and started eating. After finishing a children's meal, Zhuozhuo patted his stomach and said, "I'm full!"
Qin Jin ate his meal with the chopsticks and spoon that Zhuo Zhuo had used. After he finished, he found Zhuo Zhuo, who had been sitting obediently on the sofa, slouching with his head drooping, his eyes almost closed due to sleepiness. He picked him up and placed him on the bed in the lounge. Just as he was about to leave, the child sat up drowsily and called out, "Qin Jin, Daddy."
Zhuozhuo rubbed his eyes, stood up, and staggered towards Qin Jin.
Qin Jin was afraid that she would fall, so he walked over and hugged her, "Why don't you sleep?"
Zhuozhuo hung on Qin Jin's arm, his little baby voice so cute, "Daddy won't leave."
"Okay, Dad won't leave." Qin Jin lay on the bed with Zhuo Zhuo. After she fell asleep completely, he waited for more than ten minutes before pulling his arm away.
After leaving the lounge, he saw Qian Wei, ready to leave with the documents, but then turned back. Qin Jin coughed lightly and said before Qian Wei could speak, "Keep quiet, Zhuozhuo is sleeping."
So, for the whole afternoon, everyone who came to the office to report on their work lowered their voices, as if they were meeting with underground party members.
Perhaps it was because of Zhuo Zhuo, who could wake up at any moment, that Qin Jin processed his work twice as fast as usual, finishing all the backlog of work from the morning, afternoon, and evening by five o'clock. Qian Wei, following the swift pace, had a subtle expression. Raising a child would affect work speed—was that the effect?
Zhuozhuo hadn't woken up yet, but Qin Jin was already a little worried. He didn't know if it was normal for a three-and-a-half-year-old to take a nap for more than two hours. He unconsciously began searching online, clicking on related words and links one after another, only to find that there were so many things to pay attention to when raising a child.
By the time he heard the crisp "Dad", Qin Jin had already followed more than a dozen public accounts, joined two groups for parents, and ordered more than 40 parenting books.
Qin Jin quickly pushed open the door of the lounge and hugged Zhuozhuo who was about to jump out of the bed. He touched her forehead and back, and used his newly learned knowledge to make sure that she had slept well, without sweating or being cold.
Zhuozhuo pointed to the window and said, "Dad, the sun has gone home."
The afterglow of the setting sun was like a gorgeous coat that the sun put on the earth before going home. Qin Jin nodded in a good mood, "We will go home soon too."
Zhuozhuo reacted a little slowly, "I need to go home and have dinner with my grandma and aunt!"
Qin Jin took Zhuo Zhuo to wash his face, "That's not necessarily true."
Zhao Xian and Qin Xi might initially just want to see if Zhuozhuo can get Qin Jin home, but after knowing that they have spent a day together in harmony, they will definitely want more. They hope that Zhuozhuo can improve Qin Jin's workaholic nature and awaken Qin Jin's family affection.
Only when you have children will you understand the kindness of your parents.
At this time, why would they stay at home and disturb the father and daughter's time together?
Zhuozhu looked at Qin Jin with puzzled eyes. Qin Jin smeared her face with a wet towel and said, "Little pig, you can eat and sleep well."
Zhuozhuo laughed heartily and hummed like a pig in cooperation.
The safety seat was already installed in the car. Qin Jin looked at the instructions, then fastened Zhuozhuo firmly to the seat and drove home.
At this moment, news of Qin Jin's early departure spread rapidly among the M&W staff. Although he had only left three minutes early, Qin Jin had rarely left work before eight o'clock unless he had social engagements or banquets. Combined with the inside scoop from the security guards and female employees, everyone knew that Qin Jin had left work early for his daughter!
The messages in the spam group were flooding my screen, and I had no time to read them until a long-ago thread started by exploited employees was dug up: JJ novel law: the workaholic CEO will turn love-brained when he meets the heroine. Will Boss Qin do the same? Someone, come and bully him!
After a minute of silence, the group started to refresh messages.
Employee A: I don’t know if a workaholic president will become love-brained after falling in love, but I can expect him to become a daughter slave, right?
Employee B: You really dare to think that you can become a love-brained person with the help of man's instinct, and become a daughter-slave with pure selfless dedication. Is our boss such a person?
Employee C: Although, B, what you said makes sense.
Employee D: I don’t care if my boss becomes love-brained or daughter-slave, as long as I don’t have to work overtime, I’m happy.
Immediately, a row of “+1”s lined up below.
When they got home, Qin Jin carried Zhuo Zhuo out of the car. The housekeeper came over with a smile and said, "Master, the mistress and the young lady went on a trip abroad this afternoon and are uncertain about their return date. Did you and the young lady have a good time together today?"
Qin Jin ignored the housekeeper's wrinkled face and walked inside with Zhuo Zhuo in his arms. Zhuo Zhuo twisted her little body in his arms and waved, saying in surprise, "Grandpa Housekeeper, we meet again!"
The butler also waved, "It's nice to see Miss Zhuozhu again."
Qin Jin frowned, "When did my mother bring Zhuo Zhuo back home?"
"Miss Zhuozhuo was brought to the door at 7:35 this morning, along with a USB drive." The housekeeper handed Qin Jin a document and a USB drive. "Four years ago, you were in a car accident and hospitalized, and a nurse secretly took your sperm..."
Qin Jin covered his scorching ears and looked at the housekeeper with dissatisfaction.
The housekeeper looked guilty. "These are all on the USB drive. You can check them out later. The files are the results of the investigation by the Madam and the Young Lady. Miss Zhuozhuo's biological mother originally wanted to ask for the identity of Madam Qin, but she was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. As she nears death, she acts kindly. She only asks that the Qin family raise the young lady and not take her anger out on the child."
Zhuozhuo leaned in Qin Jin's arms, looking curiously at the housekeeper, then at Qin Jin, and asked 9972 in his mind, "What are they talking about?"
[As for your identity in this world, it's all fake, set by the system, baby, don't worry about it.]
"What is the setting?"
9972 didn't know how to explain this to a three and a half year old, so he changed the subject. "What do you think of Qin Jin?"
Zhuozhuo leaned his little head against Qin Jin's neck and rubbed it, "Dad Qin Jin is good, he looks like my dad."
9972 finally let go of the worry in his heart and bound himself to Zhuozhuo. Since the missions always failed and there was no hope of success, he decided to just give up and bind a poor little girl. If she could get lucky and succeed in resurrecting half a world, he could help her revive.
However, 9972 was also genuinely worried that Zhuozhuo would be harmed by the mission target, and that Zhuozhuo wouldn't be able to adapt. Now, it was only a matter of time before Qin Jin accepted Zhuozhuo, and Zhuozhuo was adapting well to his new family in this new world. It was a harmonious scene that 9972 hadn't even imagined.
Qin Jin quickly finished reading the documents and carried Zhuozhuo upstairs to change clothes. After taking two steps, he asked, "Do you have clothes for Zhuozhuo?"
"No. Madam and Miss didn't buy anything either. Master, do you need someone to send some over now?"
"Send it. And Zhuozhuo's toiletries and tableware," Qin Jin suddenly asked Zhuozhuo, "Do you still drink milk?"
Zhuozhuo said loudly: "I like drinking milk! Drinking milk will make you grow taller!"
Qin Jin smiled. "Also, I'll give you some bottles and some milk powder. It depends on what Zhuozhuo likes. Can Aunt Zhang make baby food?"
Aunt Zhang, who had been paying attention, quickly said, "Yes, I have a certificate, a senior infant and toddler food supplement certificate. But the little girl looks three years old and can eat normal children's meals."
Qin Jin nodded. It seemed that the parenting knowledge he had learned before leaving get off work was far from enough. "Make a children's meal for Zhuozhuo. She likes shrimp, pumpkin, and cucumber. Make more of the other foods as well."
"Oh, okay."
The housekeeper asked, "Master, what would you like to eat tonight?"
There are three kitchens in the villa and two full-time chefs. Aunt Zhang prepares children's meals, and James, who is good at Western cuisine, can prepare Qin Jin's dinner.
Zhuozhuo leaned on Qin Jin's shoulder and said in surprise, "Grandpa Butler, there's already a lot. If we make more, we won't be able to finish it. We can't waste food."
Qin Jin said, "Okay, no waste. No need to prepare mine, I'll eat what Zhuo Zhuo has left."
The housekeeper was shocked: "Ah, okay, young master."
Did you hear that, ladies? The young master is spoiling her too much! Is this still the cold and aloof young master? He can't stand this kind of drastic change!
