After Returning Home, The Female CEO Actually Gave Me A Daughter Section 22

Tang Chen glanced at Shen Qingyan, and they both found it a bit amusing and exasperating.

After explaining things to the little girl, her sharp mind quickly grasped the principle. Then Shen Qingyan took Tang Yao to the bedroom to change clothes, while Tang Chen headed to the small bedroom in the suite.

Before long.

All three had changed into thick ski suits and headed toward the ski slopes.

One door apart.

Inside, it was warm as spring.

Outside, heavy snowflakes drifted through the air!

Tang Yao, already wearing a padded ski jacket, stared at the swirling snow, her little face brimming with excitement.

"Snow!"

"Dad, this is snow!"

"It's so pretty! Way prettier than in the phone!"

The reason Tang Yao was so eager to go skiing was that she had never seen snow since she was born.

Even though the snowflakes were artificial, they looked almost identical to real snow, fulfilling one of Tang Yao's dreams.

Tang Yao ran through the snow all the way.

Soon.

The three arrived at the beginner slope.

Tang Yao's athletic genes must have come from Tang Chen. After strapping on her snowboard, it didn't take long before she could control her balance and stop falling, and her skill was visibly improving.

The little girl, like a porcelain doll, rode her snowboard with her cheeks flushed red as she glided down the slope, looking incredibly cool, drawing countless stares as people pulled out their phones to take pictures.

Shen Qingyan and Tang Chen also took out their phones to capture Tang Yao's beautiful moments.

As for Tang Yao.

Shen Qingyan's situation was a bit less fortunate.

She had just taken a photo of Tang Yao with her phone and hadn't even put it back in her pocket yet.

Her snowboard uncontrollably started sliding downhill, making her face drain of color in panic.

"Dad, don't worry about me, go save Mom!" Tang Yao shouted, pointing at Shen Qingyan.

Tang Chen sped up directly, charging toward Shen Qingyan as she slid out of control.

Just as she was about to crash into the safety net, Shen Qingyan had already resigned herself to it. But at that moment, she suddenly felt a hand steady her waist. She turned her head sharply and saw Tang Chen's handsome profile right next to her.

: Five years without exercise, and he still keeps in such good shape! 7th update, begging for collections.

In that instant.

Shen Qingyan, who had been in despair, felt a surge of overwhelming safety fill her heart.

"Turn your body sideways and brake with the edge of the snowboard..."

Tang Chen's voice sounded in Shen Qingyan's ear, making her instinctively follow his instructions.

His support had already slowed her down.

A slight tilt of the board, and she came to a successful stop.

"Wow! Dad is so cool!"

Seeing Shen Qingyan stop safely, Tang Yao clapped nonstop.

Shen Qingyan should have been shaken.

But when she looked at Tang Chen, who was steadying her, her heart inexplicably became incredibly calm.

She looked up at Tang Chen, her red lips pressed together: "Thank... thank you!"

"For what?"

Tang Chen smiled. "I'll teach you."

"But Yaoyao..." Shen Qingyan glanced worriedly at Tang Yao.

"Yaoyao can already ski on her own, she'll be fine," Tang Chen said.

"That's right, Mom, Yaoyao can ski by herself now, look!"

Tang Yao swooshed over.

She made a funny face at Shen Qingyan: "Mom, learn fast, and then race with Yaoyao!"

"Alright..."

Shen Qingyan nodded. "But Yaoyao, don't go too far from us."

"I'll stay close to Mom and Dad!"

Seeing Shen Qingyan agree.

A sly, knowing look appeared on Tang Yao's face, as if she were a little adult.

"I might be a bit slow—sorry for the trouble."

Shen Qingyan looked at Tang Chen, who was within arm's reach, and said with some embarrassment.

"There are no slow students, only slow teachers. Don't worry, I'll definitely teach you." Tang Chen said with a light laugh.

Then.

Teacher Tang's ski lesson began.

But soon.

Tang Chen kind of wanted to take back what he'd just said.

Shen Qingyan's athletic talent was so poor it was beyond imagination...

Her comprehension was fine.

But her body just couldn't keep up...

"Have you not exercised in a long time?" Tang Chen asked.

Shen Qingyan was also a bit embarrassed by her own clumsiness, her cheeks flushing red as she nodded. "I basically haven't exercised since I got pregnant."

Back then, Shen Qingyan used to insist on jogging every morning.

But ever since she had Tang Yao, she rarely exercised.

It wasn't laziness.

She just genuinely had no spare time.

"No wonder!"

Tang Chen nodded.

Five years without exercise—Shen Qingyan's body was practically rusty.

Getting it moving again wouldn't happen overnight.

Still, Tang Chen was a bit surprised.

After five years without exercise, Shen Qingyan's figure was still so well-maintained.

He'd supported her by the waist.

That slender waist could truly be called a handful...

Tang Chen said, "No matter how busy you are, you still need some daily exercise, or your body won't hold up eventually."

"Mm..."

Shen Qingyan nodded, then said in a somewhat downcast voice, "Tang Chen, don't bother teaching me anymore. Go have fun. I'm too slow—I'll never learn."

Tang Chen shook his head without a second thought and said softly, "Don't rush. Practice makes perfect. Take it slow, and you'll definitely get it."

"I..."

Shen Qingyan wanted to refuse again.

But just then, Tang Chen took both of her hands.

Even through the gloves, Shen Qingyan could still feel the scorching warmth of Tang Chen's palms...

Asking for flowers.

: Hot springs! Swimsuit Shen Qingyan, snap out of it, Dad! 8th update, asking for collections.

Thanks to Tang Chen's persistent teaching efforts.

Shen Qingyan finally reached the point where she could glide freely on the beginner slope.

Embarrassed and upset by her own clumsiness and inability to learn, she gradually broke into a smile.
