After Returning Home, the Female CEO Actually Gave Me a Daughter Section 41

"This guy is really living the dream—gorgeous wife, adorable daughter, and even a VIP pass to the amusement park. I'm so jealous..."

They stepped inside the park.

Taking in the beautiful fantasy scenery and whimsical architecture.

Tang Yao clapped her hands. "Wow! Daddy's so amazing!"

With that, she stretched out her arms, looking like she was saying, "Since you're so great, I'll reward you with a hug."

Tang Chen laughed as he scooped her up, rubbing his cheek against hers, making her giggle uncontrollably.

Shen Qingyan stood to the side, watching the joyful father-daughter duo, a hand lightly covering her red lips.

Amid the laughter and cheer.

Tang Chen carried the little girl over to a signpost and asked, "Yaoyao, take a look—which ride do you want to go on first?"

Tang Yao leaned in, stared at the sign seriously for a few seconds, then turned back to Tang Chen and said earnestly, "Daddy, Yaoyao can't read yet..."

"..."

Tang Chen paused, then glanced at Shen Qingyan. They both couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Tang Yao crossed her little arms, wearing a look that said, "I'm mad, and it's not going to be easy to cheer me up."

Seeing her expression, Tang Chen found it even harder to hold back his laughter. He coaxed, "Don't be mad, Yaoyao. It's because you're so good and so smart that Daddy forgot you're only a little over four and haven't learned to write yet..."

As Tang Chen's apology turned into a string of praise, before he could even finish, Tang Yao let out a giggle and threw her arms around his neck.

"Daddy, can you read what it says up there for Yaoyao?" she asked in her soft, babyish voice, nuzzling against his cheek.

"Of course I can."

Holding her with one arm, he pointed at the sign and read, "The first line says Dream World, the second line says Treasure Cove, the third line says..."

Tang Yao stared intently at every character on the sign, listening to every word Tang Chen said, as if she wanted to memorize them all.

Thank you all for your support! Truly grateful!

: A snapshot under the fireworks! 7th chapter, begging for collections.

The first ride Tang Yao picked was Dream World, because inside it there was an attraction called the Alice in Wonderland Maze.

Alice in Wonderland was one of Tang Yao's favorite foreign fantasy movies.

"Daddy, look at the big Alice!"

"Daddy, I want to ride the spaceship, the interstellar spaceship!!"

"Mommy, Daddy, let's take a picture with Piggy Hero!"

"It's Spider-Man!"

"Piggy..."

The entire Tiny Land was astonishingly huge.

A single day wasn't nearly enough to cover it all.

After hitting a few of the little girl's favorite rides, time quietly slipped into evening. Mother and daughter were a bit tired, so they sat down on a bench to rest and, while they had a moment, looked through the photos they'd taken.

Every attraction had staff dedicated to taking pictures. The price was steep, but Tang Chen didn't mind at all.

After they were done, all the photos were sent to Tang Chen's phone.

"Mommy looks so pretty in this one!"

"And in this one too!"

"Daddy looks handsome too!"

Looking at the photos, Tang Yao kept exclaiming in delight.

"You keep praising us, but aren't you adorable yourself?" Tang Chen pinched her cheek.

"Yaoyao was born from Mommy and Daddy. Daddy's handsome, Mommy's beautiful, so of course Yaoyao is cute without even saying it!"

Tang Yao raised both hands and pressed her index fingers against her chubby cheeks.

"..."

Tang Chen and Shen Qingyan exchanged a glance, then both burst out laughing.

"I'll send you the photos."

Looking at the album filled with over a hundred shots they'd just taken, Tang Chen said to Shen Qingyan. Only then did he realize they hadn't added each other on any social apps yet, so they finally exchanged WeChat.

"Boom!"

The sky had darkened, and suddenly a loud blast rang out.

A firework exploded in the sky, lighting it up.

Then, countless more fireworks shot up into the heavens.

Brilliant, dazzling colors illuminated the entire dim night sky.

"Fireworks! Mom, Dad, look, fireworks! So pretty!"

Tang Yao pointed excitedly at the sky, hopping and cheering.

"Yeah, so pretty."

Shen Qingyan tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, the colorful lights reflecting in her beautiful eyes, creating another scene all on its own.

Tang Chen watched her profile, a smile tugging at his lips, then suddenly spotted something. He raised a hand and called out, "Hey, over here!"

He waved over a staff member taking photos for tourists.

The staff member set up the camera. Tang Chen picked up Tang Yao and stood shoulder to shoulder with Shen Qingyan.

"You two, move a little closer!" the staff member said, squinting one eye at the camera's viewfinder, raising his voice.

Tang Chen shifted a step.

Shen Qingyan shifted a step too.

They pressed against each other.

Countless fireworks burst open behind them, one after another.

Shen Qingyan turned her head to glance at the father and daughter's profiles, a smile in her eyes.

Just then, a gentle breeze brushed by, lifting the strands of hair at her temple ever so slightly.

Click!

The shutter snapped.

This moment was captured forever.

Beneath the dazzling, sky-filling fireworks, in front of the massive castle-like building.

Tang Chen smiled softly.

Tang Yao in his arms laughed, raising both hands above her head to form a pair of rabbit ears.

Shen Qingyan's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled too...

A family portrait avatar, changed in unison! Investment plan scrapped! 8th update, begging for collections.

Coming out of the seaside villa.

It was already very late.

In the back seat of the Rolls-Royce heading back to the Sheng Tang Grand Hotel, Tang Chen stared at the photo on his phone, lost in thought, a faint, amused smile creeping onto his lips.

He opened WeChat and swapped out his default avatar for this picture.

"Boss... the owner of the property at No. 33 Ding'an Road has agreed to meet with you."

Liu An sent Tang Chen a message.

And when he sent it, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. He rubbed them before he could believe what he saw.

Tang Chen, who had never used a profile picture before, had put one up on WeChat.

And seeing the beaming smile on Tang Chen's face in that family portrait, he found it even harder to believe...

That smile was way too kind!

If Tang Chen could ever be that gentle with him.

He felt like he'd wake up laughing in his dreams.

"Got it," Tang Chen replied. "How's Shen Group doing?"

"Thirty-five percent of the projects have been halted. If the shareholders hadn't fronted the funds, it'd probably be over fifty percent by now."

"Shareholders fronting funds?"

Tang Chen let out a cold laugh. "You can notify them. We're pulling our investment."

"Understood, boss."
