"Daddy's toys?" He Yan frowned slightly. What did that mean?
He clearly didn't understand the little joys between the mother and daughter.
Xiao Hua pulled Kang An in front of He Yan: "Kang An, call him Dad!"
Now that she has made the decision to let Kang An acknowledge He Yan, she should act generously in the following matters, instead of being hesitant and unwilling to let the child call He Yan "Dad".
Kang An is still young, and doesn't have many complicated thoughts in her little head. She just does whatever her mother tells her to do.
The incredibly cute little girl tilted her head back and sweetly called out to He Yan, "Daddy."
That "Dad" filled He Yan with excitement and emotion!
He half-squatted down, his hands trembling as he touched Kang An's shoulders: "Good child, my good girl, it's all my fault." He gently embraced the child, his eyes slightly moist.
Seeing him like this, Xiaohua thought that he might really be able to become a good father.
She questioned herself inwardly, "Isn't it good to have another person love the child?"
There were some grudges and grievances because of the child, and those that needed to be ended should be ended. However, there wasn't much of a grudge between him and He Yan. In fact, the child was conceived by the original owner of the body, Xiao Hua, through a scheme against He Yan.
Now that He Yan is willing to accept the child despite past grievances, it shows that He Yan is a decent person.
As for the relationship between him and He Yan, it was very simple and pure: she was Kang An's mother and He Yan was Kang An's father. They had no other relationship.
"Okay, take the kids out to play more often when you have time, and just bring them back in the evening."
After Xiaohua finished speaking to He Yan, she pulled the child aside and said to him, "Do you want to go out and play with Daddy? If you want to go out and play with Daddy, you can do it anytime. If you don't want to go out and play with Daddy, Mommy can take you out to play when she comes back."
She feels guilty towards her child, as she has been busy with her own things lately and hasn't had time to take the child out to play even for a short while.
"Mom, can this toy dad stay with me forever? Actually, I quite like him."
Xiaohua was a little worried that her toy dad might not spend much time with her.
Xiao Hua gently rubbed her little face to comfort her: "No, as long as you want, Daddy can always be with you."
Upon hearing his mother's words, Kang An immediately perked up: "Great! When Mom can't play with me, then let Toy Dad play with me!"
"Why does the child call me 'Toy Dad'? What did you say to the child?" He Yan felt that Kang An didn't treat him like a father, but rather like a toy.
Xiaohua scratched her head, a little annoyed, and made up a story: "How can a child accept a dad who suddenly appears out of nowhere? I just casually mentioned that you are a toy dad I bought. She had asked me for a dad before, so I bought her one and occasionally told her that she could just treat him as her dad. So she probably thinks that dad is like a toy. She'll understand when she grows up, right?"
He Yan not only didn't blame Xiao Hua for talking nonsense to the child, but also felt somewhat guilty, because his absence over the past few years had caused harm to the child.
Just then, a car pulled up next to Xiaohua, the window rolled down, and Zhou Musheng leaned out with a smile and said to Xiaohua, "Teacher Ye, are you free at noon?"
Upon seeing that it was Zhou Musheng, Xiaohua quickly smiled and lowered her body slightly: "Mr. Zhou, is there something you need from me?"
Zhou Musheng raised his wrist to check the time: "There is a business reception at the Hilton Hotel at 11 o'clock in the morning. If you are free, you can be my accompanying translator."
Xiaohua thought for a moment. She didn't have anything particularly important to do during the day. She did have one or two tutoring classes around four or five o'clock in the afternoon. The party at noon wouldn't interfere with her afternoon tutoring classes, so she would have enough time.
So he readily agreed: "Okay."
Zhou Musheng glanced at the man standing beside him, noticing the resemblance to Xiaohua's child, and casually asked, "Is he the child's father?"
Xiao Hua didn't hide anything and responded naturally, "Yes, Kang An's father!"
Zhou Musheng got out of the car and nodded slightly to He Yan: "Hello, Zhou Musheng."
He Yan knew this man, but didn't know his name. This was the man who brought Xiao Hua back last time, and he saw it.
But since the other person had already taken the initiative to introduce themselves politely, he couldn't be impolite.
He introduced himself: "Hello, I'm He Yan, Kang An's father, and Xiao Hua's..."
"Mr. Zhou, should I dress up for the lunch party? Or can I just wear whatever I like?"
Xiao Hua didn't want to listen to He Yan and his boss's nonsense, so she interrupted He Yan in time.
Zhou Musheng took a few steps back, distancing himself from He Yan, and stood with Xiao Hua. The refined gentleman and the beautiful lady looked like a perfect match, but He Yan felt a little uneasy.
"Do you have any suitable clothes? If not, I can take you to buy some, and I'll buy them for you as work clothes."
If Zhou Musheng said that, it means that Xiaohua needs to dress up and wear a formal dress to accompany him to the business cocktail party.
"No need, Mr. Zhou. I have two other decent dresses at home that would be perfect for a business cocktail party."
"Okay, it's still early. I'll have my driver pick you up at 10:30. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
Xiaohua smiled and saw him to his car: "Okay, Mr. Zhou, take care."
After Zhou Musheng left, He Yan questioned Xiao Hua with a grim expression: "You don't need to work for him. I can give you money if you need it. Do you think it's appropriate for a married woman to get too close to a gay man?"
Xiaohua glanced at him speechlessly with disdain: "It's suitable, how can it not be suitable? Besides, our marriage is just a formality. You don't need to introduce me to anyone outside, and I won't either. We're just Kang An's dad and mom."
"Why are you so afraid of other men finding out you're married?"
He Yan was somewhat angry and jealous.
"What, you really want other men to know that I am your legal wife? Is this your possessive desire as a man? Even if you hate this woman, you still want to label her as your own?"
"I don't understand what you're talking about. I just want to tell you to think about the children before you do anything, and not to do anything that would shame them. After all, we're not divorced yet."
Xiao Hua rolled her eyes at him: "If you're sick, go get treatment. Don't talk nonsense in front of me. I can't be bothered to talk to you."
After saying that, she took Kang An's hand and said, "Kang An, let's go."
Kang An turned to look at He Yan: "Mom, does Dad still want that toy?"
Xiao Hua didn't even bother to look back at He Yan, and said to the child in an annoyed tone, "We don't need this broken toy today. You can play with the toys that Mommy used to buy for you!"
