After Returning to China, the Female CEO Actually Gave Me a Daughter

After considering it for a moment, she finally nodded.

After all, if she did not go to the company, something major might happen.

And after their contact yesterday, she had come to understand Tang Chen a little better.

She knew Tang Chen sincerely cared for Tang Yao.

She could rest assured leaving Tang Yao in his care...

"Hello, do you have time right now?"

When Tang Chen saw Shen Qingyan calling, he had thought it would be Tang Yao. He had not expected Shen Qingyan to be on the other end, which surprised him somewhat.

"I do. Did something happen?"

"Yaoyao has a fever, and there are some problems at the company. Can you come over and take care of Yaoyao?"

"No problem. What's the address?"

"Building 21, Linhai Villa."

"I'll head over now. Ten minutes."

"Okay!"

After hanging up, Shen Qingyan let out a long sigh of relief.

The moment she heard Tang Chen's voice, her heart calmed considerably.

And as the little girl listened to Shen Qingyan's call with Tang Chen from beneath the covers, a sly smile appeared on her face...

In less than ten minutes, Tang Chen arrived. Shen Qingyan went out and brought him into the villa.

Looking at Tang Chen sitting beside the bedroom bed, rubbing Tang Yao's head, Shen Qingyan said, "The door lock password is 032815. Sorry to trouble you."

"Taking care of Yaoyao is something I should do."

Tang Chen smiled as warmly as a spring breeze. "All right, hurry and go. Leave things here to me."

"Then I'll be leaving first. Bye-bye, Yaoyao!"

"Say bye-bye to Mommy."

"Bye-bye, Mommy!"

Shen Qingyan left.

Tang Chen turned to look at the little girl lying on the bed.

Their eyes met.

Tang Chen reached into the blanket and felt around, pulling out a hot-water bottle. He lightly tapped the little girl's forehead in annoyance. "Care to explain?"

The moment he sat by the bed, he had noticed a strange heat coming from beneath the blanket.

Tang Yao stuck out her little tongue. "Sorry, Daddy."

"Why are you saying sorry?"

Tang Chen shook his head with a soft laugh and picked her up. "You never need to say sorry to Daddy."

"Daddy just wants to know why Yaoyao did this."

"Yaoyao... Yaoyao just missed Daddy..."

Hearing his daughter's words, Tang Chen felt his heart melt. Holding the little girl, he wished he could rub her into his body. He said softly, "Yaoyao, Daddy is the one who should be sorry. I was absent for four years of your life."

Tang Yao shook her head in Tang Chen's arms, then wriggled free. Her amber-like eyes stared fixedly into his as she said with utmost seriousness, "Daddy doesn't need to say sorry to Yaoyao either!"

Tang Chen was even more moved. His eyes stung slightly as he pulled the little girl into his arms again.

Daddy, why do they all call Little Raccoon crunchy noodles?

"Daddy..."

"Yaoyao can't breathe anymore!"

Tang Yao shouted dramatically.

Tang Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry as he let her go, then reached out and scraped her little nose. "Even if it was because you missed Daddy, Yaoyao mustn't do this again, okay? We have to be honest children."

Tang Yao pursed her rose-petal lips and nodded vigorously. "Daddy, Yaoyao understands!"

Tang Chen looked at her and whispered conspiratorially, "It's just the two of us today. Where does Yaoyao want to go play?"

"Hehehe..."

Tang Yao laughed at Tang Chen's teasing. She wrapped her arms around his neck, then thought seriously for a moment before saying, "Then let's go to the zoo. I want to see Big Tiger!"

"Let's go!"

Tang Chen agreed without hesitation.

"Ah! Daddy is the best!"

The little girl hugged Tang Chen's face and showered him with kisses.

Tang Chen patted her head and temporarily pulled her out of his arms, preparing to find her some clothes to change into.

"Student Tang Yao, where are your clothes?"

"In the second wardrobe," Tang Yao said.

Tang Chen opened the second wardrobe.

What came into view was entirely Shen Qingyan's underwear...

"Are these your clothes?"

"Aiya, the second one on the left!"

After eating something, Tang Chen took the porcelain-doll-like little girl, dressed in a tracksuit like a tiny adult, to the zoo.

"Big Hippo!"

"It's Big Hippo!"

"Daddy, can we feed Big Hippo a big watermelon too?"

They first arrived at the hippo enclosure. Seeing the enormous hippo eating watermelon tossed to it by visitors, Tang Yao looked at Tang Chen and asked.

"Of course!"

Tang Chen found a staff member and bought a large watermelon. Carrying Tang Yao in one arm and the watermelon in the other, he walked over to the railing.

The moment the hippo saw Tang Chen approach, it waddled right over and opened its huge mouth.

"Hey!"

The little girl symbolically exerted herself alongside Tang Chen as they tossed the watermelon into the hippo's mouth.

The hippo closed its enormous jaws, instantly crushing the watermelon into pulp. Watermelon juice splashed everywhere...

"Hehehe!"

The little girl lay over Tang Chen's shoulder, laughing with boundless delight.

After feeding the hippo.

The two of them went to Monkey Mountain.

And the moment they entered Monkey Mountain.

Tang Yao immediately burst into loud laughter.

Not just her—even Tang Chen could not help but laugh.

They saw it.

The monkeys in Monkey Mountain were all broad-shouldered, round-waisted, fat-headed, and big-eared. They squatted there, clutching the food visitors had fed them and stuffing it into their mouths...

Afraid they might eat themselves to death, Tang Chen did not add to their burden. After watching them for a while, he took Tang Yao to the next place.

The next spot was a little far away, so the two took the sightseeing cable car and arrived before long.

Looking at the raccoons in the glass enclosure and listening to the discussion around her, the little girl touched her lower lip and asked, "Daddy, why do they all call Little Raccoon crunchy noodles?"

"Because there's a brand of crunchy noodles called Little Raccoon."

Tang Chen explained, "Yaoyao, have you never eaten them before?"

Tang Yao shook her head blankly. "No."

"Then does Yaoyao want to try some?"

Tang Yao nodded. "I do!"

"Then we'll go to the supermarket later. But you can only have one bag to try, okay? Eating too many crunchy noodles isn't good for your health!"

"Okay!"

Adopt a giant panda! Can I adopt one too?

"Daddy, so this is Big Tiger!"
