After Returning Home, the Female CEO Actually Bore Me a Daughter — Part 15

"I... I'll head over. It's not far from here anyway."

"Okay. Remember to call when you arrive. We'll come pick you up at the entrance."

"Okay!"

After hanging up, Tang Chen looked at Tang Yao again.

Tang Yao immediately understood. Wrapping her arms around Tang Chen's neck, she showered his face with kisses. "Daddy's the best! Daddy is the best daddy in the whole world! Yaoyao loves Daddy the most!"

"All right, all right!"

Tang Chen laughed. "Little flatterer!"

"Bleh!" The little girl made a face.

Not long after.

Shen Qingyan arrived.

She did not have Tang Chen come pick her up and went straight to the entrance of the Children's Paradise on the second floor.

"Mommy!"

The little girl rushed toward Shen Qingyan. That cry of "Mommy" made countless passersby clutch their hearts and begin praying.

"The goddess is already a mother?"

"Please, no!"

"She must have mistaken her for someone else! She must have..."

But reality always went against one's wishes.

Shen Qingyan crouched down, caught Tang Yao in one sweep, and lifted her into her arms, shattering countless hearts...

"Mommy! Did you miss Yaoyao?"

Looking at Tang Yao, who seemed like a little angel, Shen Qingyan's mood lightened considerably.

She smiled softly. "Of course I missed you. Did Yaoyao miss Mommy?"

"Of course Yaoyao missed Mommy too! So, so much!"

Tang Yao spread her arms wide, gesturing that it was an enormous amount.

Shen Qingyan was amused again.

"Then Mommy, did you miss Daddy?"

Tang Yao suddenly asked.

And at that very moment, Tang Chen had already walked over.

The smile on Shen Qingyan's face instantly froze. She tapped the little girl on the forehead. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Tang Yao raised both hands to cover her forehead. Her timid little expression was adorable beyond measure.

Tang Chen and Shen Qingyan could not help laughing.

"Come on, Daddy will carry you. Mommy's wearing high heels, so carrying you would be too tiring."

Tang Chen held out his arms to Tang Yao, and she promptly burrowed into his embrace.

Shen Qingyan's Hand Was Caught! Update 6, Please Send Flowers

Shen Qingyan had a slender frame and was delicate as if boneless. Carrying Tang Yao had always been difficult for her. In the period right after Tang Yao was born, she had even developed a hunchback because of it. Only after the little girl grew older and no longer needed to be carried all the time did it gradually improve.

Still, her back had been left with lingering problems. Whenever she sat for long periods, her spine would ache with a stabbing pain.

Watching Tang Chen take Tang Yao from her arms.

Waves of warmth rose in Shen Qingyan's heart.

At the same time, there was also a trace of bitterness.

In the past, no matter how exhausted or upset she was, she had to grit her teeth and endure it, never letting the little girl see even the slightest negative emotion.

But now...

She had finally experienced what it felt like to have someone share her burden...

"Let's go!"

In Tang Chen's arms, the little girl struck a Superman flying pose.

Shen Qingyan followed behind the father and daughter as the three of them headed into the Children's Paradise together.

But when they reached the entrance again, Tang Yao's attention was drawn to the claw machine once more.

She turned to look at Tang Chen, her dark eyes filled with unwillingness to admit defeat.

Tang Chen understood.

This was not about the value of the prize.

It was the little girl's stubbornness.

Then.

He returned carrying a cardboard box full of arcade tokens.

There were a full hundred tokens inside!

After inserting two tokens, Tang Yao began turning the joystick, controlling the claw inside.

The claw descended and grabbed a plush toy, but just as it was about to reach the chute, it fell again.

"Ah!"

Tang Yao cried out and inserted more tokens.

But the result was exactly the same...

Very soon.

The hundred tokens were nearly gone.

Tang Yao still had not managed to grab a single plush toy.

Looking at the last two tokens, she wilted.

She looked at Tang Chen, then at Shen Qingyan, before handing over the two remaining tokens in her hand.

"There's only one try left. Mommy, help me grab it."

Ninety-nine tries were stubbornness.

The final try was dignity!

She had already lost hope...

Shen Qingyan instinctively accepted the tokens, a confused look appearing on her stunning face with its light makeup.

Clearly.

She did not know how!

After putting the tokens into the claw machine, she tried moving the joystick a few times, but the claw did not move at all.

"Mommy, hurry and make it move! There won't be any time left!"

Seeing the small screen already counting down from ten seconds while the claw remained completely motionless, the little girl was so anxious she wanted to jump.

Affected by her emotions, Shen Qingyan also became flustered. A layer of sweat instantly appeared on her forehead.

A corporate CEO was sweating from panic because she did not know how to operate a claw machine...

If word got out, who knew how many people would be left dumbfounded.

Six seconds remained.

And just then.

Shen Qingyan felt a pair of warm, large hands close around the hand she had placed on the joystick.

Then, the claw inside the machine began to move.

"You're being too gentle. Use a little force. You won't break it."

Tang Chen's voice sounded beside her ear. Seeing his handsome profile so close at hand, she pulled her hand back as if shocked by electricity.

At that moment.

The claw machine's countdown ended.

The claw automatically descended, grabbed a plush toy, and moved toward the chute.

And this time.

The claw did not let go again. The plush toy was successfully carried to the chute and dropped in...

"Got it!"
