In Hanyuan's study, Si Minghan sat on a black chair behind his desk, his rough fingertips lightly stroking the smooth cover of his watch, exuding a deep and unfathomable temperament.
Zhang Ze sat on the sofa below, holding documents to report on company affairs.
Mr. Chao Si observed his expression. Was this person unfathomable? Or was he distracted?
The phone on the desk was vibrating and buzzing, reflecting Mr. Si's obscure thoughts.
When the phone vibrated, Mr. Si's eyes fell on the phone screen for three seconds before he retracted his gaze and let the phone vibrate until it stopped.
The atmosphere in the air changed when the cell phone suddenly vibrated, and Zhang Ze could guess who was calling.
Mr. Si didn't answer the phone, but his mind was wandering...
While Zhang Ze was reporting at the same time, the study door was kicked open without any permission and six little ones rolled in.
This time, the six little ones were not wearing miniature pajamas, but animal pajamas with hoods. On the top of the hoods were animal ears, either cat, dog, or panda ears, with their round little bodies popping out one by one.
Zhang Ze calmed herself down, this is so cute!
"Who let you in?" Si Minghan, who was interrupted, asked majestically.
The six little ones completely ignored their father's ugly face and ran to Si Minghan like penguins. Xiaojun even climbed on him, and Dongdong followed behind, clinging to his legs and struggling to get up. Then, he felt top-heavy and fell down headfirst.
Si Minghan twisted Xiaojun who was climbing onto his shoulder and asked, "Are you going to climb on my head?"
Xiaojun waved his short legs and arms, struggling madly, "I need Mommy! Mommy, bring me more kerosene!"
Si Minghan's expression turned cold, "Shut up!"
"Wow! I want mommy! Daddy is an idiot!" Xiaojun cried.
“…” Si Minghan’s eyebrows were knitted.
Ji Xiao ran to Zhang Ze with the cute little chick on his head, "Ze Ze, what is my mom doing?"
Mangzi and Jingjing also came over and looked at Zhang Ze with tears in their eyes.
Zhang Ze's expression was as serious as when she was reporting on her work. "Tao Bao is working right now. It's really not easy for you little ones. If Tao Bao knew you were thinking about her so much, she would definitely be very happy. But Mommy is not here, Daddy is here, so Mr. Si is more than capable of taking care of the six of you!"
The children looked at Zhang Ze with questioning expressions, as if they didn't quite understand what he was saying.
"It's time to go to bed. How about we talk about it tomorrow?" Zhang Ze asked.
Xiaojun, who was put down, yelled at Si Minghan, "Don't sleep in! No! I want my mommy!"
Si Minghan's eyebrows twitched, and he looked at the noisy Xiao Jun with forbearance.
Dongdong, "I want Mama!"
Sniffing quietly, "Mom..."
My younger sister asked, "Daddy, where is Mommy working? Can I go find Mommy?"
"...Mom!" Mangzi.
Bob hurriedly found the study and looked at the six little ones making a fuss about Si Minghan. He said hurriedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Si. I'll take them to bed right away!"
"Don't sleep!" The six little ones stared at Si Minghan with six pairs of eyes. Xiaojun even hugged Si Minghan's legs tightly, "No! No! No!"
Si Minghan rubbed his temples and waved his hands with a headache. Bob understood and stepped back.
"Go back!" Si Minghan said to Zhang Ze, then stood up, glanced at the six little ones, and held the phone in his hand, "Come on, I'll take you to bed!"
The six little ones were stunned for a second, and then they rushed to catch up.
Zhang Ze looked at the six little ones following Mr. Si’s long legs, afraid of being left behind. They were so adorable!
But it's really refreshing to see Mr. Si put down his work and take care of the children.
The six little ones fell asleep one by one because they had their dad to accompany them and the added threat.
Lying in a mess beside me, it still looks very cute.
Si Minghan leaned against the head of the bed, holding his cell phone. The most recent call record was a missed call from Tao Bao.
She even knew to call me? For the child?
Si Minghan's dark eyes were dark and deep. It couldn't have been her. With Tao Bao's personality, she wouldn't just call and then text him if he didn't answer. Giving up so easily wasn't her style.
Zhang Ze was driving when a call came in. She answered it via Bluetooth, "Mr. Si."
"Call her and find out what's going on with the Tao family."
Zhang Ze immediately understood Mr. Si's intention and said, "Yes."
Tao Bao had just finished taking a shower and walked out of the bathroom when the cell phone on the bed rang. She stood there in a daze.
Did Si Minghan call back after seeing her missed call?
That's impossible. If Si Minghan didn't answer her call, he would just ignore it when he saw it later. Why would he call her on purpose?
Tao Bao got the phone and saw the incoming call, and it turned out not to be Si Minghan...
Answering the call, "Secretary Zhang..."
"Go to sleep?"
"I'm just getting ready for bed. Secretary Zhang, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"It's nothing, I just came out of Hanyuan."
Tao Bao tightened his grip on the phone, suppressing his emotions and calming himself down. "It's been really hard... But is there anything you want to tell me?"
"When I was working, six children were making a fuss about Mr. Si and insisted on having their mother. It was a bit pitiful to see."
Tao Bao lowered his eyes, feeling uncomfortable. When he thought of the six little ones wanting their mother, his eyes became hot.
She held back and steadied her voice, "And then?"
"Mr. Si took the child to bed."
Tao Bao was silent. "Do you want me to go back to Hanyuan? Secretary Zhang, since I didn't want to stay here at the beginning, I won't stay here now. That's the six little ones' home. They are already familiar with it. Everything will be fine in the future..."
"Have you called Mr. Si?" Zhang Ze turned around and asked.
Tao Bao thought of the previous erroneous phone call. It wasn't her who made the call, but could she say that?
If Si Minghan knew that her phone fell into someone else's hands and called him, wouldn't that touch his sore spot?
After all, not everyone can get Si Minghan’s cell phone number!
"I... called, but he didn't answer."
Zhang Ze wondered, was this the answer Mr. Si wanted? Obviously not.
But judging from Tao Bao's tone, nothing happened.
"How about you try making one phone call a day? Maybe Mr. Si will relent and let you go?"
Tao Bao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it. It's okay, I'm going to sleep."
"good evening."
Tao Bao hung up the phone, put the phone on the bedside table, and fell onto the bed.
Call Si Minghan once a day?
To be honest, making a phone call is not a difficult thing, you just have to be shy about it!
But if it really happened, what could I say? Would I compromise and live in Hanyuan?
Tao Bao knew that before Aunt Qiu's accident, she had thought of that idea, just as a way to keep the six little ones company. After that, she gave up the idea.
She couldn't let go of the hatred in her heart.
Sometimes I dream about Aunt Qiu’s tragic death in the middle of the night.
