Chapter 253 Trapped in the Elevator
Xiao Anning pouted and looked at Shen Qingshu with a slightly helpless expression, "Do I still need to think about this kind of thing?"
Calm and slightly stunned.
"I'll definitely vote for Daddy!" Little Anning declared confidently. "No matter how handsome Uncle Jin is, he's still just an uncle. If Little Anning wants, she can have many handsome uncles in the future, but she only has one Daddy!"
Shen Qingshu was stunned.
Little Anning looked at Shen Qingshu with bright, sparkling eyes, her childlike voice clear and innocent.
“Mom, I know you and Dad had a fight and separated. Don’t worry, if it were you and Dad asking me to vote today, I would definitely vote for you without hesitation! But if it’s Dad and someone else, even if it’s my godfather and Dad, if I had to choose between the two, I would definitely choose Dad.”
Wen Jingxi: "..."
Okay, so the clown is him.
The recording ended there. Wen Jingxi put away his phone, closed his eyes, and sighed, "Baby, you hurt me. You'd better comfort me first."
"Huh?" Xiao Anning looked at Wen Jingxi and blinked. "Godfather, don't be sad. You're still a level above Uncle Jin. If it were Uncle Jin and Godfather, I would definitely vote for Godfather!"
Wen Jingxi instantly felt relieved. He thought to himself, "I knew it! He didn't spoil his daughter for nothing!"
"Great, Godfather's in a better mood." Wen Jingxi beamed and gave Xiao Anning a thumbs up. "Our Xiao Anning is right, Godfather is so proud of you!"
Xiao Anning chuckled, "Of course! With a brain as smart as mine, this little problem is no challenge for me!"
Wen Jingxi rubbed the little girl's head and said, "This is your own decision. If you regret it when you grow up, you can't blame your mother, understand?"
"Why would I regret it?" Xiao Anning blinked. "If Dad hadn't given me these shares, I wouldn't have had the chance to vote! So it's only right that I cast my vote for Dad!"
"Look at this logic and thinking, no wonder she's Fu Siyan's daughter." Wen Jingxi looked at Shen Qingshu, "Do you think she'll become a lawyer when she grows up?"
Shen Qingshu looked at her daughter with gentle eyes.
Tonight's conversation gave her the feeling that her daughter had suddenly grown up a lot.
It is said that daughters inherit more intelligence and personality from their fathers. Now it seems that Xiao Anning's intelligence is indeed more like Fu Siyan's.
Shen Qingshu patted her daughter's head and said softly, "It depends on whether she is interested or not. Whatever Xiao Anning does, I will support her."
…
It's already 9:30 pm, Xiao Anning needs to go to sleep.
Wen Jingxi said goodnight and left.
The door closed, and Shen Qingshu and her daughter lay on the bed. "We won't read storybooks tonight. Xiao Anning, how about you keep Mommy company and talk to her?"
"Okay!" Little Anning nestled in her mother's fragrant arms. "Mommy, did you not sleep well these past two days while I was at Daddy's house?"
"I didn't sleep very well. I just didn't feel comfortable without my sweet and soft little Anning to hold me."
These are words to make the child happy, but they are also the truth.
"Okay, then I won't live at Dad's house anymore."
Shen Qingshu was taken aback. How could she bear to let her child suppress their need for their father for her sake?
She lowered her head and kissed her daughter's cheek. "Mommy was just teasing you. Mommy slept very well, but I really missed you."
"Little Anning misses her mother too!"
Shen Qingshu smiled, "Have you had a good time at Dad's house these past two days?"
"I'm so happy!" Xiao Anning said, "Daddy's voice is so nice when he reads the storybook, Xiao Nian'an didn't lie to me!"
In fact, since Xiao Anning came back, Shen Qingshu could clearly see that Xiao Anning's opinion of Fu Siyan had changed a lot.
After all, they are biological children. In just two days, Xiao Anning has completely accepted Fu Siyan as her father.
"What does Xiao Anning think of that Aunt Song?"
“Aunt Song is so cool!” Xiao Anning perked up immediately when she mentioned Song Lanyin. “She’s so cool when she hits people! Xiao Nian’an even told me that she can take on many people by herself without getting hurt!”
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and pondered for a moment before asking, "Does Xiao Nian'an really like Aunt Song?"
“I like her too, but she only comes on Saturdays, and she leaves very soon.”
Shen Qingshu paused for a moment, then asked, "And what about your father?"
“Dad is home every day. There’s an Uncle Shao Qing who comes to see Dad every day. Sometimes he stays in the study with Dad for a long time before coming out. Every time Uncle Shao Qing comes, he brings a lot of books!”
Shen Qingshu knew that it wasn't a book, but rather a document that the company urgently needed Fu Siyan to sign.
Fu Siyan is working from home.
"When Daddy finishes his work, he comes to play with me and Xiao Nian'an. He draws with us and plays Ludo with us. Oh, and Daddy also teaches us to write. Mom, Daddy writes your name very well!"
Calmly relieved.
“But,” Xiao Anning said in a lower voice, “it seems like Daddy is sick?”
Shen Qingshu lowered her eyes and looked at her daughter, "How did you know?"
"He coughs a lot, and I noticed there are needle marks on the back of his hand. I asked him what they were, and Daddy said they were mosquito bites." Xiao Anning pouted, "Hmph, Daddy's lying! He thinks I'm a three-year-old who's easy to fool!"
His expression was calm and composed, though his face was clouded with complex emotions.
It seems that Fu Siyan really has a health problem.
But clearly, Fu Siyan didn't want anyone to know.
It's indeed not appropriate for people to know, given the current turmoil within the Fu family. If word gets out about his illness, Fu Siyan will be in a precarious situation.
"Mom," Xiao Anning raised her chin and looked at Shen Qingshu expectantly, "Why did you and Dad quarrel and separate?"
Children are children, especially clever and curious children like Xiao Anning. She is innocent, but she is definitely not stupid.
She didn't understand the complexities of the adult world, but she could tell that her father cared about her mother.
But she could also sense that her mother didn't want to talk to her father.
Shen Qingshu did not answer Xiao Anning's question.
She simply held Xiao Anning in her arms, her voice gentle, "Xiao Anning, you just need to remember that although Daddy and I are separated, our love for you and Xiao Nian'an is the same, and we will always love you."
Xiao Anning blinked. "I know, I love Daddy and Mommy very much, but Xiao Anning still loves Mommy the most."
Shen Qingshu pinched her soft little earlobe. "Mom knows."
"But sometimes when Dad looks at me and Xiao Nian'an in a daze, his eyes look a little pitiful!"
Shen Qingshu closed her eyes and sighed helplessly, "Xiao Anning, it's getting late, we should go to sleep."
"Oh." Little Anning closed her eyes. "Mommy, let me sing you a lullaby~"
Shen Qingshu felt a warmth in her heart, "Okay, today it's Xiao Anning's turn to coax Mommy to sleep."
"OK!"
Shen Qingshu turned off the nightlight, plunging the room into complete darkness.
Little Anning's soft, sweet voice echoed in the room: "There's only one mother in the world who's good..."
…
Three days later, the Fu family shareholders' meeting was held.
After dropping Xiao Anning off at kindergarten, Shen Qingshu drove directly to the Fu family's.
We arrived at the Fu Group at 8:40.
Shen Qingshu presented a photocopy of her shareholding certificate, which was then reported to the president's office by the receptionist.
The shareholders' meeting today has not yet yielded the final results, and Fu Siyan is still in charge of the Fu family business.
Less than five minutes later, the person who was supposed to pick up Shen Qingshu arrived.
Shao Qing walked up to Shen Qingshu and said respectfully, "Miss Shen, I'll take you upstairs."
Shen Qingshu nodded slightly and followed behind Shao Qing.
The doors to the president's private elevator slowly closed.
The elevator ascended smoothly.
Shao Qing and Shen Qingshu stood side by side, neither of them speaking.
After thinking it over for a while, Shen Qingshu finally asked, "Assistant Shao, is Fu Siyan sick?"
Shao Qing was stunned for a moment.
But he quickly recovered and calmly replied, "Young Master Fu's pharyngitis keeps coming back, sigh, it just won't get better."
Shen Qingshu didn't believe it. "Xiao Anning said he was on an IV drip."
Shao Qing's expression stiffened slightly.
Despite all our precautions, we couldn't stop the little princess's clever tongue!
As Shao Qing was pondering how to gloss over the situation, the elevator suddenly started shaking—
Immediately following a loud 'clang,' the surroundings were plunged into complete darkness!
The elevator plummeted, and a few seconds later, there was another loud 'bang'—it was stuck!
Shen Qingshu held onto the elevator handrail, not daring to move.
Surrounded by darkness, Shen Qingshu steadied herself and asked, "Shao Qing, are you alright?"
"Miss Chen, I'm fine. Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine, is there a power outage?"
Shao Qing gently reassured her, "Miss Chen, don't panic, it's probably just a problem with the elevator."
In the darkness, Shao Qing's expression was extremely solemn.
He knew very well what it meant when the elevator suddenly malfunctioned at such a crucial moment...
