Chapter 82

"Swish, swish." There was a rustling sound on the child's bed, the flat quilt bulged up, and after a while a little head popped out from the quilt.

The curtains in the room are only half drawn, allowing people to sleep comfortably without being scared by the darkness.

The little girl sleeping on the bed rolled her eyes around and realized that she was the only one in the room. She pursed her lips but did not cry. Instead, she rubbed her eyes and sat up.

There was a rag doll on the bedside. She reached out and took it, kissed the doll's cheek, and then tried to tie up the doll's hair. However, the hair became more and more tangled and could not be tied up properly. The little doll sighed and said to herself, "Don't cry. I will tie it up for you when I come back tonight."

After saying that, he put the doll back to the side of the bed, turned his body, leaned his belly against the edge of the bed, supported the bed with his two little hands, and slid to the ground with his two short legs shaking.

After she stood firmly, she tiptoed towards the door. With a creaky sound, the door, which was left a gap, was opened by her. The little person stretched out his head, looked left and right, saw no one, and walked out on his little feet.

When she walked into the living room, she heard voices in the kitchen. She stopped walking, stood there thinking for a while, then turned and went to the table in the living room.

Standing on tiptoe, he grabbed the can of milk powder on the table. His chubby little hands tried hard to hold the can, his face flushed from holding his breath, as if he was exerting all his strength.

Finally, she caught the can of milk powder and it rolled towards her. The little girl hugged the can, opened her mouth and smiled happily, drooling.

In the kitchen, Song Shu and Chen Zonghao were making lunch. Today the nanny had to go home for some business, so they had to cook lunch.

Over the past few years, Song Shu has become very skilled at helping out. She washed a few tomatoes, looked at her watch and said, "The baby should be waking up soon. I'll go check on him."

Chen Zonghao was stewing sweet and sour pork ribs. He picked up a piece and handed it to her, "Try it first."

"Ah." Song Shu habitually opened her mouth and ate the ribs with his chopsticks, giving a thumbs up while eating, "It's still so delicious."

Chen Zonghao pinched her nose and said, "As long as it tastes good, go check on the baby."

"Okay." Song Shu finished the ribs in her mouth, wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen.

Just as she walked out of the kitchen door, a little ball suddenly ran towards her. Halfway through, it noticed her, suddenly stopped, turned around quickly, and ran towards the room on its two short legs, giggling as it ran.

Song Shu quickly said, "Baby, run slower." She looked at her daughter in confusion as she saw her daughter running back as if she had seen a wolf, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace to catch up with her.

But after passing the living room with an unconscious glance, Song Shu stopped immediately, and saw that the table, the floor and even the sofa in the living room were all covered with white milk powder, and an empty milk powder can rolled under the table.

Looking at the messy living room, Song Shu held her forehead with a headache, "Chen Zhinian."

Chen Zonghao heard the sound and walked out of the kitchen, "What's wrong?"

Song Shu pouted and pointed at the living room, "Look, these are all your daughter's masterpieces."

Chen Zonghao glanced at the messy living room, his face full of helplessness, "Baby is awake?"

"She's awake now, but she's still a little brat. When she saw me coming out, she ran back to her room quickly, knowing that she had done something wrong." Song Shu found it funny when she thought of her daughter's frightened look when she ran away when she saw her just now. She wondered why she ran so fast, it turned out that she had done something bad.

When Chen Zonghao heard her description, the corners of his mouth curled up, with a somewhat proud expression on his face.

Seeing him look proud of his clever daughter, Song Shu glared at him unhappily, "Your daughter is very naughty now, a little troublemaker, all because of your pampering."

Chen Zonghao didn't dare to refute and touched his nose, "I'll go see her. I'll clean up the living room later."

＊

"Baby?" Chen Zonghao pushed open his daughter's door and called out, but no one answered him. It was obvious that the little girl had hidden herself.

Chen Zonghao looked around the room and soon found the little person hiding under the curtain. She had one chubby little foot on top of the other, and the curtain was shaking from time to time as she pulled on it.

Chen Zonghao almost couldn't help laughing when he saw his daughter's cute face. He coughed and said, "Hey, baby, where is daddy's baby? Are you playing hide-and-seek with daddy? Daddy is here to look for you, baby."

"Hehe." The little guy laughed like a silver bell, "Dad, come find me quickly."

Chen Zonghao almost couldn't hold back his anger after hearing what his daughter said. He held his forehead and thought, this is not as smart as Ah Shu said, "Okay, Dad is here to look for you, where is the baby?"

Chen Zonghao asked as he pretended to look around the room.

When he asked, the baby would answer him in a baby voice, "Dad, I'm not there."

Finally, Chen Zonghao looked around before walking towards the curtain. He opened the curtain with a "swish" sound, looked down at the baby, and said, "Found it."

"Hehe." The baby laughed excitedly when he was found, and rushed over to hug his father's legs.

Chen Zonghao looked at the baby who was covered in milk powder and had turned into a snow-white dirty baby. He controlled his legs and thought to himself that this was his biological daughter. He looked down at her helplessly, "Baby, how did you get so dirty?"

The baby looked up at him and giggled, raising his hands, "Hold me, I want a hug, Dad."

Babies over three years old can already speak a lot of words, their pronunciation is becoming clearer and clearer, and they can express their ideas well.

Chen Zonghao looked at the dirty baby and hesitated for a moment even though she was his own daughter.

The little guy may have noticed his hesitation, his mouth twitched, his eyes were watery and he looked like he was about to cry, "Daddy, I want a hug."

Chen Zonghao's heart softened immediately and he could no longer think of anything else. He quickly bent down and held the baby in his arms, patting her back and coaxing her, "Okay, Daddy will hold you."

When the baby was picked up by his father, he immediately started giggling again, but he still looked like he was about to cry.

Seeing her like this, Chen Zonghao said lovingly and helplessly, "You really are as cunning as your mother said."

At this time, Song Shu also walked in. Seeing her daughter covered in milk powder in Chen Zonghao's arms, she deliberately said with a stern face, "Chen Zhinian."

The little guy seemed to sense the anger in his mother's words. He rolled his eyes, opened his mouth wide to reveal a row of small teeth, and said to his mother sweetly, "Mommy, hug me."

Song Shu looked at her with pretended disdain, "You dirty child, mommy doesn't want to hold you."

When the baby saw his mother's disgust, his mouth twitched and he was really about to cry.

Song Shu quickly reached out and hugged her, "Okay, Mommy doesn't mind you anymore, hug me."

"Mommy." The little guy hugged her neck tightly and rubbed his head against her shoulder.

"Oh, the milk powder is all over mom." Song Shu touched her head and also felt a hand full of milk powder. She looked helplessly at Chen Zonghao's clothes which were also stained with milk powder. "Well, now the three of us are dirty together, and no one will blame anyone."

"Hehe." The little guy laughed and his body shook, and the milk powder on his body fell off.

Song Shu couldn't help but yelled "Chen Zhinian."

＊

By the time Song Shu finished bathing her and Chen Zonghao fed her lunch, it was already afternoon.

In the afternoon, Song Shu had an appointment with a client, so Chen Zonghao had to be the only one at home to look after their daughter. However, she had nothing to worry about, as he usually took care of the children more.

"Then I'll go to the company?" Song Shu said to the father and daughter before leaving.

"Go ahead, and drive carefully." Chen Zonghao carried his daughter to the door and gave her some advice.

"Yeah." Song Shu nodded and pinched her daughter's nose. "Baby, listen to your daddy at home, okay?"

"Okay, baby, be obedient." The little guy leaned back from his father's arms, hugged his mother's neck, and gave her a sticky kiss, "Mommy, goodbye."

Song Shu also kissed her daughter's little face, "Okay, goodbye, baby."

The man next to her raised his eyebrows at her, "What about me?"

Song Shu glanced at him coquettishly, then stood on tiptoe and gave him a kiss on the face, "Let's go, take good care of our daughter, and don't give in to her in everything."

One shortcoming of Chen Zonghao's child care is that he is too indulgent towards his daughter. As long as it is not a matter of principle, he will unconditionally agree to any request made by his daughter.

Chen Zonghao nodded with a guilty conscience, "I understand, wife."

Seeing that he had agreed well now, Song Shu also knew that he would be completely bewitched by her daughter's coquettishness later, so she snorted, "It's best this way."

Then the father and daughter looked at her with the same innocent expression. Song Shu shook her head in amusement and said, "No more talking. Let's go."

"Goodbye, Mommy."

"Goodbye, honey."

＊

In the living room, Chen Zonghao was leaning against the sofa with a picture book in his hand. The baby was lying on him, listening to her father's low voice telling her a story, while her hand occasionally grabbed her hair, and Chen Zonghao followed her.

The afternoon sun shone in through the window. The father and daughter sat on the sofa, talking to each other, with an indescribable warmth.

At this moment, there was a "ding-dong" sound, and the cell phone on the table started to buzz.

The little girl was startled and trembled. Chen Zonghao didn't care to answer the phone but patted her on the back and coaxed her softly: "Oh, baby, don't be afraid, it's the phone ringing."

The little girl turned from her father's arms, pointed at the mobile phone on the table, and then made a phone call gesture, "Dad, answer the phone."

Seeing that his daughter was no longer frightened, Chen Zonghao stood up with her in his arms and picked up his phone, "Okay, Daddy will answer the phone."

Chen Zonghao glanced at the incoming call and pressed the answer button, "Hello."

When the baby saw his father answer the phone, he pulled his father's hand, leaned his head towards the phone, and opened his eyes wide as if he was concentrating on listening to the phone.

Chen Zonghao looked at his daughter's adorable face, curled up the corners of his mouth, and turned the phone to his daughter's side.

"Brother Hao." A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. "The American client came earlier and is now in the office. Brother Hao, do you want to come over now or let the client go back first?"

Chen Zonghao was about to refuse outright and ask the customer to come back tomorrow, but he suddenly met his daughter's bright eyes. He paused and lowered his head to ask, "Baby, do you want to go out?"

The little guy clapped his hands and nodded, "Dad, I want to go out."

"Okay, Dad will take you out." Chen Zonghao touched her head.

Ah Wen heard their conversation and realized that it was Brother Hao who was taking care of the child, so he said, "Brother Hao, how about I let the client go back first?"

"No need. I'll go to the company now." Chen Zonghao said, and then hung up the phone after giving a few more instructions.

"Come, baby, help daddy pack up the things that need to be taken out." Chen Zonghao carried his daughter to her room.

Hearing about packing her things, Chen Zhinian struggled to get out of her father's arms, then took out her own small bag and started to rummage through the things she usually took with her when she went out, "Dad, I want all of these."

"Okay, Dad will clean it up for you."

Ten minutes later, Chen Zonghao went out holding his daughter in one hand and a little bunny bag hanging in the other.

＊

With a "ding" sound, the elevator arrives.

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

"Mr. Chen."

Chen Zonghao walked to the office holding his daughter. The employees he met greeted him respectfully, and when they saw him wearing a suit, holding his daughter in one hand and holding a cute bunny bag in the other, they couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise.

Only after the man walked away did she dare to speak to the people beside her: "The one who just walked by was our CEO Chen, right?"

“Is that so?” The other employees were also shocked and a little uncertain. They had never seen the usually stern and domineering CEO Chen acting like a father. How could they not be surprised?

"Wow, I didn't expect President Chen to be like this." The employees were amazed.

"It's not surprising. I've always heard that Mr. Chen is very family-oriented." An employee who has worked in the company for a long time spoke up.

"Wow, is that true? There are really men like this nowadays, who have money and still take care of their family." Some people said enviously.

"Don't even think about it. Mr. Chen's wife is also an outstanding person."

…

"Mr. Chen."

When Chen Zonghao pushed open the office door, Awen was waiting inside with a client. When he saw him come in, Awen stood up, walked over and spoke.

Awen was already used to seeing Brother Yuhao holding a child. When he saw his lovely niece in his arms, wearing a princess dress and with two little ones in her arms, he couldn't help but reach out his hands, "Baby Chinen, it's been a long time since we last met. Come here, Uncle Awen, give you a hug."

But Chen Zhinian turned her head and put her hands tightly around her father's neck, "No."

Awen covered his chest pretending to be sad, "Chinian, don't you remember Uncle Awen, even though we haven't seen each other for more than a month?"

"Okay, I'll take Zhinian to the lounge first." Chen Zonghao said to the customer, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Allen."

Allen stood up and said politely, "Mr. Chen, don't worry. Is this your daughter? She's very cute." After all, he had come early this time, and it was a great thing for him that Mr. Chen could entertain him, so he didn't mind waiting for a while.

"Well, thank you for the compliment." Chen Zonghao only said this and then carried his daughter to a lounge in the office. He didn't want to talk about his daughter with others.

Mr. Allen, looking at the tall back of the man holding the child, couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect Mr. Chen to have such a warm side." They, the businessmen, usually only saw his decisive side in the business world.

Awen, who was standing next to him, just smiled and said nothing after hearing this. He thought to himself, you haven't seen how Brother Hao behaves in front of Second Sister-in-law. That's what it's like to be gentle and soft.

＊

Chen Zonghao's office moved to a new floor and expanded its space. In recent years, as his and A Shu's business grew bigger and bigger, they each bought half of the office building.

Chen Zonghao placed his daughter on the carpet in the lounge and turned half of the lounge into a play area for his daughter.

He took out the water cup from his bag and fed her a few sips of water. He then took out a tissue to wipe her mouth. Then he placed her toys on the carpet and started to negotiate with her, "Baby, play here first while Daddy talks to other uncles in the office. Okay? After the talk, Daddy will take you to find Mommy."

The little man picked up a small puzzle and nodded, "Okay, Dad, I'll go find Mom later."

"Well, I'll go find mommy later." Chen Zonghao patted her head and agreed, "Daddy won't close the door. If you have any problems, just call daddy."

"Uh-huh."

Chen Zonghao took out the toys for her and gave her a few instructions before leaving the lounge again.

"Sorry, Mr. Allen, I've kept you waiting for so long." Chen Zonghao said as he sat on another sofa.

Allen waved his hands quickly, "It's okay, I was the one who disturbed Mr. Chen today."

But Allen couldn't help but be anxious. After Chen Sheng's company developed the PHS mobile phone this year, it caused an earthquake-like shock in the global mobile phone market.

The emergence of the PHS phone has changed today's mobile phone market. Now it is 1992t, and previous mobile phones were still bulky devices that could only be used to make calls and send messages, and the signal was not very sensitive.

The mobile phones developed by Mr. Chen's company, in addition to the functions of making calls and sending messages, have developed a new system that allows mobile phone calls to be answered through wireless networks, so that traditional landline phones are no longer fixed to a certain location. In addition, the functions of mobile phones have been greatly increased, with the addition of the functions of taking pictures, listening to music, and sending MMS.

It can be said that mobile phones are no longer just a communication tool, but are moving towards entertainment electronic tools.

These patents are firmly in the hands of the person in front of us. It can be said that almost most of the new mobile phone market in the world is in his hands.

Which businessman would not want to have a share of such huge profits? Therefore, Mr. Allen had no choice but to shamelessly approach us for cooperation in advance. Being one step faster than others may allow him to gain more benefits.

"Mr. Chen, the American market is also a very large market, and our Allen family has a very comprehensive sales channel in the United States. I wonder if Mr. Chen..."

When seeing Mr. Allen off, it was already past five in the afternoon. Chen Zonghao declined his invitation to dinner and went back to the lounge.

In the lounge, the little girl was sitting on the carpet and playing with a puzzle. She had almost finished the puzzle.

Chen Zonghao walked over and sat on the carpet, watching his daughter play the puzzle silently.

The little girl didn't know where to put one of the pieces, but there was no anxious look on her face. Instead, she compared them seriously.

Chen Zonghao didn't rush her, nor did he help her without her asking for help.

Time passed by, "Dad, I've finished the puzzle." The little man pressed the last piece of the puzzle in heavily and said happily.

"Well, let Dad take a look." Chen Zonghao looked at the puzzle carefully and did not give her a perfunctory answer. "It's really all done. Baby is awesome."

When little Chen Zhinian heard her father's praise, she cupped her face with her little hands and said happily, "I am such an amazing baby."

Chen Zonghao was amused by his cocky look, "Well, baby, you are really amazing. Daddy will prepare it for you and show it to mommy later, okay?"

"Okay, show it to mom."

Chen Zonghao helped her carefully put the puzzle together, then put all her things back into her bag and picked her up. "Let's go downstairs to find Mom."

＊

Song Shu sat in the office drawing designs; she would have a fashion show in Paris next month.

Now the clothing brand of her studio is becoming more and more famous, not only in Asian countries, but also in other European and American countries.

The clothing brand's stores are not only located in other Asian countries, but also in other European and American countries.

As my business continues to expand, my work becomes increasingly busy.

Just then there was a knock on the door, and Song Shu replied without even looking up, "Come in."

However, the door opened but no one spoke. Song Shu looked up in confusion and saw the person smiling. Then he stood up and walked over. "Why are you two here?"

The baby stretched out his arms anxiously for his mother to hold him, "Mommy, hug me."

Song Shu hugged her and kissed her little face, "Baby, you miss mommy so much."

After working for an entire afternoon, I now feel revived as I hold my daughter in my arms and smell the milky scent on her body.

"Mom, baby misses you too." Chen Zhinian was kissed on the cheek by her mother, and she kissed her back in a sticky way, but her mother's face was covered with saliva.

Chen Zonghao looked at the affectionate mother and daughter with a smile on his face. He took out a tissue from his bag and wiped off his daughter's saliva on Song Shu's face. He explained, "I had something to do at the company just now, so I brought the baby here with me."

"Oh, baby, are you being obedient?"

Before Chen Zonghao could say anything, the little girl sitting in Song Shu's arms hurriedly held her mother's face with her little hands and retorted: "Mommy, the baby is very good. Today the baby finished a puzzle by himself."

"Wow, the baby is so amazing." Song Shu looked at her daughter as if the baby was really amazing.

"Very impressive." The little guy nodded affirmatively.

Song Shu couldn't help but laugh at her cocky look, "Well, the baby is amazing."

As if afraid that she wouldn't believe it, the little girl leaned over and patted Chen Zonghao's arm and urged her father, "Dad, show Mommy the puzzle I made."

Chen Zonghao listened to his daughter's instructions and carefully took out her puzzle and placed it on the table beside him.

Song Shu walked over with her daughter in her arms and sat on the sofa. When she saw the completed puzzle, she shook the little one in her arms and praised her, "Mom saw it. Baby is so amazing that she can complete the puzzle by herself. Come, give me another kiss."

The little boy was amused by his mother and laughed. He hugged his mother's neck, looked at her with his round eyes, and said in a baby voice, "Baby is so amazing. Can mommy buy a small cake for baby later?"

How could anyone refuse such a cute look? Song Shu nodded, "Okay."

I sighed in my heart that I never thought my daughter would ask for rewards. I feel relieved and emotional that my daughter is growing up slowly. I still remember that she was just a tiny baby in my arms three years ago, but in the blink of an eye, she has grown into a little sweetheart.

Thinking that Song Shu loved her daughter even more, he lowered his head and rubbed his forehead against hers, "We'll go buy a small cake for the baby later, but let's go pick up Sister Jiahui first."

"Pick up Sister Jiahui, I'm going to pick up Sister Jiahui." Hearing about Sister Jiahui, the little girl was happier than hearing that someone bought her a cake. She hurriedly got down from Song Shu's arms, holding her mother's hand in one hand and her father's hand in the other, and walked out the door anxiously, as if her sister Jiahui would run away if she was late.

"Okay, go pick up the baby, Sister Jiahui."
