Chapter 32 The baby claims the father's hand and grabs him (Double update combined)...
32
The God of Wealth has appeared!
Ning Ye put her hands together in prayer position.
Although she was unaware of her own apparitions and the apparitions of others.
They are not on the same level.
After returning to her room, she gulped down a lot of water and tidied herself up. By the time she took Ning Zhitao out, the alcohol in the two cups of mulled wine had almost completely dissipated.
The two of them only needed one small suitcase, which wasn't too much trouble to carry. Since she was basically free today, she could take care of the child by herself. So, after informing Bian Xun on the Little Genius app, she checked out of the hotel and left.
Tao Tao didn't know what her mother was happy about, but she was happy because her mother was happy, and she followed Ning Ye around like a little penguin.
For an ordinary worker, a windfall of 11,000 yuan is a huge sum of money.
Although the deposit and rent were refunded to Bian Xun's black card, Ning Ye wouldn't be so particular about it now that they were allies like the child's father and mother.
She initially used her own card to pay the deposit, rent, and agency fee when renting the apartment, but later, for the convenience of automatic rent deduction, the system changed the card linked to Bianxun's card, so the refund was sent to Bianxun.
Anyway, I'll continue to spend money in the future, so there's no problem keeping the money together.
After the mother and daughter left, Bian Xun slowly pushed open the door.
His expression was aloof and noble.
Human desires were briefly suppressed by money, and the CEO regained his impeccable appearance.
As soon as he opened the door, the figure that was about to dart out from the corner of the corridor was startled and retreated. The two of them almost got into a fight in a flurry of activity.
The elevator doors opened with a ding, and Assistant Zhang walked over with a heavy expression, carrying his briefcase. He had been in low spirits throughout the celebration banquet, or rather, the atmosphere had been tense since this morning. Assistant Zhang had been on tenterhooks the whole time and dared not make any mistakes at this moment.
However, when he walked over, he found the boss standing at the door. He had already spotted the suspicious person in the corner of the corridor, but he did not make a move. He just calmly glanced at him.
"Hmm?" Assistant Zhang's eyes were filled with caution and doubt.
Before going upstairs, the boss still looked like the whole world owed him a hundred million.
Why are we suddenly being so friendly to the whole world?
Bian Xun crossed his arms and listened to Assistant Zhang finish recounting the remaining itinerary in Hangzhou. He hummed in agreement and then glanced at the corner.
The two figures from before had disappeared. A moment later, as Assistant Zhang finished packing his luggage and the two headed towards the elevator, a male cleaner pushing a cleaning cart walked forward with his head down and wearing a mask.
As they passed by, Bian Xun slightly raised his finger, and the man shuddered in fright, quickly dodging to the side.
They searched but didn't pay attention.
They're all his grandfather's men, no need to look, the purpose of keeping them here is the same.
But perhaps the more than 100 million yuan brought Mr. Bian a moment of leniency, or perhaps it was some illogical clue in his heart.
In short, the well-dressed, refined man turned slightly to the side, and as the trembling "male cleaner" pushed his cart past, he knew perfectly well what was going on, and gave a dismissive smile.
It's nothing more than the old man trying to steal some samples for a paternity test. At his age, he's still acting so undignified. He wants to make trouble for himself, so why should he stop him?
…
Upon returning to the company, the next day at work, everyone heard that the president was in a good mood.
Because a new technology in the R&D department went down the wrong path, resulting in cost losses, the person in charge of the department nervously went up to report the situation and felt that the future was bleak. He had already thought about how to get n+2 leave.
After all, the boss's nearly ten million yuan investment has simply gone down the drain, and no one can take responsibility. Capitalism has no room for sentiment, especially not someone with CEO Bian's rational and detached personality.
Who knew that the person responsible would come out looking dazed, and instead of being held accountable, they were given an additional sum of money.
Assistant Zhang saw him off at the elevator, and he himself was quite puzzled.
What is the reason for Mr. Bian's sudden indifference to fame and fortune?
In the CEO's office, Bian Xun rested his hands on the thick sandalwood table, the faint scent of incense wafting in the cool air. He looked down at the recent financial statements of Wujiang and the deposits into his bank account.
Capital accumulated through legitimate channels is certainly remarkable.
But the feeling of unexpected wealth is truly captivating.
It's possible to gain 100 million yuan without working, and it's not illegal.
The most profitable method in the world is not written in the criminal law, but in Ning Ye's writing.
He closed his eyes, of course, he did have more than a hundred million.
But it's different if you get it for free.
If such ill-gotten gains could occur every day, then Wujiang's product line would become the world's leading. He wouldn't need to calculate costs; the air would fill the gap.
Cool.
So, how do we replicate it?
Assistant Zhang closed the heavy office door with a look of awe and left.
I always felt that the boss was thinking about things that ordinary people couldn't even begin to grasp.
Considering that all these changes mainly occurred after returning from Hangzhou, Assistant Zhang concluded that it was still related to Miss Ning.
Miss Ning is truly remarkable. Assistant Zhang has been by President Bian's side for several years, yet her emotional fluctuations in the last few months are far more varied than ever.
Is this the power of first love?
Separated by a wall, Bian Xun slowly opened his dark eyes.
After returning from the conference hotel, they actually grew further apart. If it weren't for the parent-teacher meeting in a couple of days, there wouldn't have been any need for them to meet at all.
Some people would grope him at night, but then stop the next day.
Yesterday we were just an inch away from kissing, but back at the company we were separated by 18 floors.
It's really inconvenient not to live together.
However, he does not yet have a sufficient position.
The extent to which a stepfather can intervene in a family still needs to be studied.
Bian Xun tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, pondering whether to buy the apartment across from Xia Lu's in the same complex. He glanced at his schedule; there was nothing for the business unit today, meaning they wouldn't be forced to meet.
Tsk.
Bian Xun got up and walked out of the office. After passing through the corridor on the 30th floor, he suddenly paused slightly when he passed the restroom, as if a thought had flashed through his mind.
This restroom is for the president's private use. It has a dark gray, concealed door, making it difficult to go to the wrong room unless you actively push it open.
Why did Ning Ye end up here when they called her over for questioning the night Bian Ziwen was arrested for absconding with the money?
What was she holding in her hand at the time?
Bian Xun's brain, like a sophisticated instrument, reconstructed the scene from that moment. His gaze followed her sleeve downwards, where she was holding a cup of hot milk, which she then spilled all over him, thus diverting Bian Xun's attention.
Was it intentional or accidental?
He paused slightly, then raised his fingertips, placing them on the dark gray wall door, and slowly pushed it open.
There was no one there.
The scent of sandalwood lingers.
The bathroom remains spotless, cleaned five times a day, morning, noon and evening, leaving it so clean that there are almost no signs of use.
Bian Xun stared at it for a moment, then slowly closed the door.
What was she holding in her other hand under her sleeve at that time?
Taken from his bathroom...?
…
Ning Ye was not at the company at this time.
After returning from this conference, the department assigned her a new important client to handle, which was an affirmation but also a new challenge for her.
This company is a well-known pharmaceutical company with a reputation both at home and abroad. The new general manager is a second-generation rich kid from a wealthy family named Gu Feng.
On her way to the other company, Ning Ye felt that the name sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.
She had arranged a meeting time with the other party's secretary in advance, and arrived at Fengyu Pharmaceutical's building on time with all the documents and data presented by Wujiang.
After confirming via internal call, the receptionist nodded and said, "Ms. Ning, Manager Gu wants you to go directly to his office."
"Okay," Ning Ye replied.
As Ning Ye passed through the lobby on the first floor, the glass exterior wall reflected a slight light. She raised her hand to shield her eyes, but through her fingers she saw a familiar black van drive away from the underground parking garage.
Ning Ye paused, then suddenly remembered.
Gu Feng is the second male lead in the original novel. As a radiant movie queen and the darling of the world, the female lead Xu Lanyi is unlikely to be solely devoted to the male lead. Other outstanding male supporting characters will appear around her, and Gu Feng is the one who can rival Bian Xun and is also the most unique among them.
Because his sexual preferences were very unusual—he preferred women who had children.
I don't know if this male supporting character was tailor-made for the female lead in a romance novel. Gu Feng is not very old, comes from an excellent family, but he just happens to like strong, gentle, resilient people who are in difficult circumstances and full of maternal radiance.
As Ning Ye ascended the stairs, she tried to recall as much information as possible. She vaguely remembered that the female lead had mentioned that the male supporting character was a womanizer because he lost his mother at a young age, but the women who could truly move him were his mothers, who had unique charm.
The appearance of that car just now indicates that Gu Feng's storyline has begun. As the darling of the world, even after becoming a mother, how could Xu Lanyi not have outstanding men vying for her attention, creating a power struggle?
In the upcoming episodes, Gu Feng will actively try to become the father of Xu Lanyi's son, competing with Bian Xun, because under Xu Lanyi's intentional or unintentional guidance and ambiguity, Gu Feng believes that Xu Lanyi's child is Bian Xun's.
So it's obvious that Ning Ye, this scheming female supporting character who harbors the secret of Bian Xun's illegitimate daughter...?
Ning Ye looked down at herself and sighed.
It turns out that she had unknowingly gotten caught up in the main storyline again.
It's conceivable that the other party's proactive approach in assigning her to handle a collaborative project with such a large company indicates that they were already aware of her special status.
Today won't be too easy.
But just because he is Xu Lanyi's second male lead, does that mean she should avoid him and give up this good opportunity to work together?
In the workplace, if you don't move forward, you fall behind. She doesn't need to waste herself on the female lead's life. Besides, she can actually make use of this information.
Once Ning Ye entered the meeting room, she immediately placed the relevant materials from Wujiang's product line—including smart safety products for young children and intelligent model systems to assist parent-child interaction—on top of the table.
"Miss Ning?" A male voice with a rising intonation rang out.
Ning Ye stood up and looked over, a pair of nonchalant eyes scrutinizing her. Perhaps not seeing any overt maternal qualities in her, those eyes quickly withdrew, losing interest.
Gu Feng and Bian Xun are clearly two extremes.
He was indeed handsome, possessing the currently popular "puppy-like" looks. Dressed in a casual suit, he even had a youthful, untouched air about him. He was warm and talkative, like a blazing summer sun, capable of offering the female lead burning warmth when she was sad.
"Miss Ning, you must hold an important position in the Wujiang Group, right?"
The other person's ill-intentioned scrutiny did not elicit much of a reaction from Ning Ye. After answering a few questions, she calmly handed over the documents in her hand.
Gu Feng took it, intending to start finding fault, but unexpectedly, a glance at the paper sparked his interest, and this one glance led him away from his original plan.
The irrationality and passion brought about by Xu Lanyi's sorrowful appearance earlier have faded considerably, and she has remembered the important matter at hand.
Although Fengyu is a business owned by the Gu family, his position is far from the power that Bian Xun had seized and completely controlled the group. At present, he only has management authority over a few major departments, and his family still needs to look at his performance. Therefore, he cannot completely disregard the cooperation with Wujiang.
This was also the information Ning Ye had analyzed when she went upstairs. Gu Feng had once resentfully told Xu Lanyi that Bian Xun's rise to power was solely due to the incompetence of three generations of the Bian family. He argued that if it weren't for the numerous obstacles from the Gu family, his own achievements would have far surpassed Bian Xun's.
Ning Ye's goal was simply to complete her work.
As for how he and Bian Xun will fight, that's not something she can control.
At most, I'll give Bianxun a hint on Xiaotiancai (a Chinese online learning platform), which can be considered as teammates helping each other.
It must be said that Wujiang's artificial intelligence data is industry-leading. Fengyu's cooperation with Wujiang is icing on the cake for Wujiang, but it is more helpful to them. This is also the reason why Ning Ye was able to remain humble and dignified.
The initial entry point was found at the right time, and the process did not follow the rhythm laid out by Xu Lanyi. Therefore, when Ning Ye proposed to upgrade the big data model of Fengyu Pharmaceutical System, Gu Feng listened to everything.
Having completed her task, she didn't linger. Though slender and petite, she was efficient and decisive. "Then I won't disturb your time any longer, Manager Gu. If you have any questions, your secretary can contact me anytime."
Gu Feng then came to his senses and realized that despite being in a clearly unfavorable situation, the other party had managed to escape unscathed.
He stood up lazily, his hair styled in a dashing manner, a hint of unruliness on his lips, and he carefully examined the young girl in front of him, feeling that she seemed a little different.
"Take care, Miss Ning."
"We'll meet soon."
Ning Ye's almond-shaped eyes remained unchanged. After a quick thought, her mind became clear.
The best opportunity for competition is tomorrow's parent-teacher meeting, isn't it?
…
Xu Lanyi sat in the departing van, gracefully wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Her acting skills are more than enough to deal with Gu Feng.
In fact, she didn't experience much of the hardships and difficulties of raising a child that she described. She had a whole private team to take care of everything for her. The greatest hardship Xu Lanyi had ever suffered in her life was giving birth to this child.
But she did indeed feel that she was strong and brave, and that Gu Feng's appreciation was not wrong.
Gu Feng is indeed a very high-quality prospect. If he were to publicly become Zixun's father, she would garner a lot of envy. However, Xu Lanyi has seen countless people and understands human nature. She knows that Gu Feng's tastes are too superficial; he could be interested in one single mother, or he could be interested in ten.
If you compare him with Bian Xun, you will almost immediately see who is better.
He is intelligent, holds a high position, is steady, and deeply affectionate.
Each of these is a rare quality.
Xu Lanyi asked Gu Feng to attend the parent-teacher meeting because of the special aspect of this meeting.
The children have to "recognize" their fathers in a game, and Zixun needs to have a "father" to participate in the game.
However, when other qualities are not visible, blood ties and kinship are not important; destiny is the guide.
With her guidance, Zixun will surely be able to find his destined father among everyone.
As for Ning Ye's daughter...
The gentle strength that once graced Xu Lanyi's face was gone, replaced by deep, unwavering eyes.
After all, the child has never lived with her father since birth, so how much affection can they possibly have?
…
The next day, all the heroes of Xia Lu Kindergarten arrived.
Ning Ye had already taken half a day off in advance, and in the morning she took Ning Zhitao to kindergarten.
For the first parent-teacher meeting of the semester, the school recommends that both parents attend.
So when they arrived at the kindergarten gate, they saw Song Hua with Zhang Sijie, and Zhang's assistant following behind.
When Assistant Zhang saw Ning Ye, he greeted her with a slight smile: "Ms. Ning, President Bian has finished his meeting and will be here soon."
Ning Ye nodded and greeted Song Hua familiarly. The two children immediately held hands and started chattering away.
Ning Ye had already reminded Bian Xun about Gu Feng last night.
Regarding this potential competitor, the president simply said: "Heh."
What is it?
Bian Xun was hurrying out of the conference room, leaving the group of executives behind him.
What is Mr. Bian rushing off to today?
The stepfather, in a hurry to attend the parent-teacher conference for his child, strode past the company, his aloof figure disappearing at the door in the blink of an eye.
Behind him, two men disguised as company cleaners could only tremble as they picked up the phone, "Sir..."
"Did you get it?"
"This, this..."
Grandpa Bian across from us was so angry that he lay down on the bed with a towel over his head, as if he were seriously ill.
Last time, they did get the child's DNA sample; they found a few strands of the child's hair in the hotel room and returned successfully.
Grandpa Bian was overjoyed and immediately ordered his servants to send it for testing.
"Inspect, inspect whose?" the two subordinates asked hesitantly.
Grandpa Bian almost collapsed, only to realize that despite all the hard work of obtaining the child's hair, there was no sample available from Bian Xun.
How do you do a paternity test?
Grandpa Bian's voice, which had been roaring into the phone, was not as strong as before, "...Go look in his bathroom! Go look in his office! If all else fails, pull it off his head!!"
“Young Master doesn’t lose hair, and besides, he’s a clean freak, the cleaning staff cleans eight times a day,” the subordinate sobbed in despair, “If we pluck hair from his head, we’ll really be in the electric chair, sir…”
Old Master Bian's eyes rolled back in his head from the effort.
In the end, they persevered thanks to the tenacity of their elders.
Recently, the children of the pharmaceutical company Gu family have been making frequent appearances in the industry. There's a family banquet coming up soon, and they'll find an excuse to invite Bian Xun over as well—his old man will personally pick the fruit.
He still wouldn't believe it, even though it was just one last step!
…
At the kindergarten gate, a ostentatious Mercedes-Benz G-Class pulled up.
On the bus, a young man in work clothes jumped off and picked up a little boy from the back seat.
To the children from low-altitude areas, the G-Wagon looked like a tank, and a chorus of frogs immediately filled the air.
"Does Gu Zixun's family own tanks?!"
"Wow!! Zixun, can you fire a cannon in your house?"
"Is that Zixun's father?"
Many children gathered around, but Gu Zixun crossed his arms and remained silent, though a smug smile played on his lips.
Assistant Zhang looked at the man driving the car, and his network of relationships immediately sprang to life. He quickly recognized him as Manager Gu of Fengyu Pharmaceutical, the youngest son of the wealthy Gu family.
How did he end up here?
Assistant Zhang keenly sensed something amiss and began to pay closer attention to President Bian.
Whether he is friend or foe is still unclear, but first and foremost, as the highest-ranking special assistant, he needs to ensure that his boss is in the highest position in all situations.
Just then, a figure wrapped in a dark blue coat and wearing leather shoes slowly approached, his cool gaze gradually lifting.
Assistant Zhang had a bad feeling. The other side had arrived in a "tank," but Boss Bian had walked to avoid traffic. Was this a lack of presence?
"Dad!"
A child who was searching for his leg was the first to discover his mark.
The sound caused a huge stir, and all the children immediately turned to look, like they were playing a game of musical chairs, creating a lively atmosphere.
"Look, it's Daddy Wang!"
"Join the Dad King competition!" "Join the Dad King competition—"
All the children in the audience gave Bian Xun the highest respect.
Bian Xun: "………………"
The long-tail effect of a donation of five million is too long.
Bian Xun coldly raised his hand: "No need for formalities."
Ning Ye paused for a moment, then covered her face, trying not to let her smile be too obvious.
Ning Zhitao didn't expect her father to appear so enthusiastically. Her round eyes widened in surprise, and she tugged at her little braid. Was she the king's baby?
As soon as the group of heroes began their kowtow, Assistant Zhang quickly left with his wife and daughter.
However, it was too late. The president had already seen his profile, which was twitching with laughter, and he was struggling to suppress his awe and the urge to laugh.
Bian Xun: "..."
Bian Xun glanced at Gu Feng out of the corner of his eye, but didn't care. He slowly walked to Ning Ye and Ning Zhitao's side and lowered his eyes.
They hadn't seen each other for two days after returning from Hangzhou.
The man stared at her with a cold, indifferent expression.
For some reason, Ning Ye suddenly remembered the touch and temperature of that night, the abdominal muscles under her clothes, and her heroic feats of becoming a mother. She quickly coughed and said, "Let's go, it's about to start."
"Um."
Bian Xun remained aloof and indifferent, his eyes lowered. As Ning Ye carried Ning Zhi Tao forward, he suddenly reached out and took her hand indifferently.
Palms pressed together, fingers intertwined, tightly clasped.
Ning Ye's heart skipped a beat. The touch was both familiar and strange. His palm completely enveloped hers, giving her a feeling of intimacy that was even stronger than when she was lying on top of him.
Ning Ye subconsciously pulled her fingertips back a little, but thinking of the person behind her, she ultimately didn't move.
Bian Xun was finally satisfied.
The moment he steps into the kindergarten, he becomes the father.
Not far away, Gu Feng also led Gu Zixun inside.
His gaze shifted slightly from Bian Xun and landed on Ning Ye, who was holding the child beside him.
...
Upon entering the classroom of Class 1, the scene had been specially arranged. All the children's desks and chairs had been removed, leaving a large open space in the middle, with high stools placed separately for adults to sit on.
Teacher Youzi stood on the podium, looking at the room full of parents. She felt a sense of awe and nervousness, realizing that even CEOs of listed companies were sitting below her. She, a preschool teacher, was bearing far too much!
"Family Bonds Bring Parents Together – Dad, Mom, and Me"
She started playing a simple, childlike PowerPoint presentation and began the interactive session: "Little ones, look who's here today! How should we greet them?"
The classroom was immediately filled with children's voices: "Hello, parents!"
"So, little ones, do you know what little games we're going to play with Mommy and Daddy next?"
"Know--!"
Assistant Zhang glanced furtively at his boss beside him and saw that he was indeed frowning clearly.
Bian Xun couldn't understand.
Why do kindergarten children talk like frogs croaking, in a continuous stream?
All the children had to answer the question in unison, drawing out their voices and speaking in a booming voice, creating high-decibel noise pollution in the environment.
His misogyny is about to flare up again.
But soon, all the children suddenly shut their mouths, their eyes shining. To avoid making a sound, Ning Zhitao covered her mouth with her two little hands.
Soon, a dozen or so special large paper cubes were pushed into the classroom. Teacher Yuzu asked all the parents to close their eyes, and then, in a quiet atmosphere where she occasionally suppressed a laugh, all the children were soon inside the paper cubes.
Parents are only now being allowed to open their eyes.
Ning Ye opened her eyes and realized that these paper cubes were actually designed. The height of each cube was about the same as that of a portable toilet outside, and the tallest one could accommodate an adult who was about 1.8 meters tall. But at this moment, a rectangular hole opened in the lower middle of the cube.
Judging from the position, it's roughly at the height of children's heads.
Teacher Yuzu: "Ready? Then come and welcome your mom or dad~"
In an instant, two bright eyes emerged from all the rectangles, like a row of little crows, and the parents present were amused by this novel sight.
This is a game played at a parent-teacher meeting, where mothers mainly identify the children!
Can a mother recognize her baby simply by looking at them, without being able to see their clothes, appearance, or facial features?
To be honest, when Ning Ye first looked at them, she really felt that every pair of eyes looked the same.
The children's eyes were all bright and mischievous, and narrow, with only a sliver showing, so you couldn't even see their eyebrows or double eyelids.
All the mothers lined up in pairs and looked at the paper squares one by one, starting from the first one.
All the mothers present had truly gone through the process of giving birth and raising their children step by step. Ning Ye, as the only mother who had only been a mother for two months, suddenly felt a little nervous.
Soon, a mother recognized her baby and pointed at the center of the baby's eye, saying, "Lele, come out!" The little one excitedly jumped out, shouting, "Mommy!"
Soon, one after another, the mothers recognized four or five children. The children whose names were called were "unlocked" and jumped into their mothers' arms.
Teacher Youzi's narration continues at the same time: "The eyes of babies see most of the hardships of mothers, and the eyes of mothers are also the eyes of the people in this world who look at their babies the most."
Song Hua quickly found Zhang Sijie in the middle, and Ning Ye, who was standing behind her, suddenly became a little nervous.
Will she be unable to find Grape?
Or did you contact the wrong person?
As she was thinking this, she turned around and saw two black grapes in the far corner, staring at her longingly.
Oh dear, how could I not find it?
Ning Ye breathed a sigh of relief, strode over, squatted down, and opened the cardboard box. "Tao Tao~"
Ning Zhitao's eyes sparkled with a bright smile as she rushed towards Ning Ye, pouting sweetly, "Mommy, I was in the last box. I thought it would take you a very, very long time to find me!"
It wasn't difficult at all.
Even if you can't see any other details, look into your child's eyes and see your reflection in her.
That's my own baby.
Teacher Yuzu: "Babies, Mommy brought you into this world, and will always watch over us and accompany us as we grow. What should we say?"
Ning Ye heard Ning Zhitao calling softly in the crook of her neck.
"Thank you, Mom!"
The mothers present all had tears in their eyes.
Standing among the fathers, Assistant Zhang watched this heartwarming scene, her voice trembling with emotion: "President Bian, this is so touching..."
He turned his head and saw a handsome face that was cold and unyielding, showing no reaction whatsoever.
Assistant Zhang silently wiped away her tears and turned back.
Neither blood ties nor kinship could move this man; no wonder he's a capitalist destined to become the world's richest man!
Bian Xun: "."
He wondered if other people had come to parent-teacher conferences with Ning Ye before.
Thinking of this, he felt a surge of anger.
The kindness brought by the 110 million has vanished.
Ning Ye led the child back to Bianxun's side, where the man's face darkened again.
Gu Feng then found Gu Zixun in the cardboard box. The little boy was clearly dissatisfied, kicking and hitting him a couple of times, then looking expectantly in Bian Xun's direction.
Teacher Yuzu shushed them, "Our game continues, little ones, are you ready?"
"Ready!"
"Then close your eyes~"
Ning Zhitao immediately covered her eyes tightly, afraid of revealing even a hint of what she was looking at; her chubby little hands were clenched shut even between the gaps.
Zhang Sijie, standing next to her, also nervously covered her eyes.
Teacher Yuzu: "Now, please, all you dads, enter the square."
"A father's hand guides his children as they grow up. Will the children be able to find their own big hand?"
Watching the dads enter the square, Teacher Youzi joked, "Of course, if the child doesn't hold hands, it means this dad might not be showing his hands enough at home!"
The mothers' relaxed laughter filled the room.
Soon the fathers were all hidden, and Assistant Zhang followed behind the boss into the square next to him.
Each square has a dotted cutout above it, from which they are to extend a hand.
Similarly, the cut is only big enough for one hand to pass through, so the color of the sleeve and the watch are not visible.
At Teacher Youzi's command, the children, unlike the adults, didn't behave as orderly and darted out like monkeys from Flower Fruit Mountain.
Suddenly, the whole room was filled with shouts of "Dad! Dad!"
Recognizing hands is actually quite difficult.
This stage is to examine the relationship between parents and children, and whether blood ties can guide innocent children—if one's own baby can accurately find the child, the father will probably be moved to tears.
Two minutes passed, and only one child had found the right father; the other children were still carefully observing each one.
Suddenly, Assistant Zhang felt her hand being grasped, and then her eldest daughter's voice rang out: "I found it!"
Assistant Zhang: "!"
The shop next door hasn't opened yet!
Assistant Zhang really didn't want to show it, but his eyes, nose, and mouth started twitching as he tried hard to control his exaggerated expression.
—The old father is so happy!
Although her daughter was spouting nonsense outside and her cotton-padded coat was letting in the wind, at this moment, Assistant Zhang felt that she was really, really, really prestigious in front of her boss!
This is much more prestigious than falsely claiming he's the company's pillar!
Assistant Zhang coughed twice towards his boss, who was separated by a piece of paper, and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'll head out now."
After saying that, he pushed open the door with a radiant face, picked up Zhang Sijie from the ground, and walked towards the smiling Song Hua.
Bian Xun stood inside the door with his eyes half-closed, expressionless.
He didn't expect a kid he'd only known for a few weeks to find him.
Although he had forcibly become their stepfather, he had never lived with the mother and daughter. Moreover, given the height difference between him and the child, Bian Xun even doubted whether Ning Zhitao remembered his complete appearance.
Let alone asking a child to find his hand, even asking him to find Ning Zhitao's hand might not be possible.
Bian Xun silently changed his standing posture.
One after another, children started finding their fathers outside the door. The fathers who were found by their children seemed to instantly receive some kind of honor. The mothers' efforts need no further explanation, but their efforts may also be remembered by their children.
Bian Xun stood outside the door with his hands hanging limply, when suddenly, his hand was gently grasped.
Bian Xun suddenly looked up.
A slight stirring in my heart.
At that moment, an inexplicable emotion welled up within me.
"Is it you?"
But the voice that came from outside the door was that of a little boy.
Gu Zixun asked uncertainly, but there was no response from inside the box, like a silent mountain. Gu Zixun immediately showed a humiliated expression, angrily shook it off and ran away.
Bian Xun's heart, which had been slightly stirred, finally cooled down.
A lingering sourness, like lemon juice flowing through the blood.
He should have known long ago that Ning Ye was only looking for him to find a better guardian for her child.
"Look, other kids also get the wrong dad," he thought sneer to himself.
Besides, he's his stepfather.
If you can really catch the right one, it's a real father and daughter who are closely related by blood.
He bet Ning Zhitao wouldn't be able to find him unless he was the child's biological father.
In the darkness, Bian Xun closed his eyes listlessly.
Just then, a pair of warm, chubby little hands suddenly closed up and grasped his hands.
Precise and certain.
"dad!"
"Open the door, it's me!"
