After Returning to China, the Female CEO Actually Gave Me a Daughter — Part 5

Tears rapidly welled up in Tang Yao's eyes, visibly filling her sockets.

Her little hands clutched Tang Chen's clothes tightly. Her lips trembled nonstop, then she buried her face hard against his shoulder and began to sob...

Her crying was suppressed and low.

But as she cried, it seemed she remembered that this was her father's shoulder—that she had a father now and no longer had to swallow her grievances. Her sobs gradually grew louder, turning into hysterical wailing...

Through her choked sobs, she said, "Yaoyao knew it. You had to be my daddy..."

"Daddy just hadn't seen Yaoyao for too long, so he didn't recognize Yaoyao..."

"Yaoyao knew Daddy would definitely come back. Daddy would never abandon Yaoyao..."

Looking at his grief-stricken daughter in his arms,

the hands of the man at the helm of the Shengtang Group, whose wealth rivaled that of nations, began trembling uncontrollably...

Tang Chen's voice was heavy. "Yaoyao, I'm sorry. It's Daddy's fault. Daddy came back too late!"

Tang Yao lay on Tang Chen's shoulder and kept shaking her head. "It's not too late. Not at all. Yaoyao doesn't blame Daddy..."

At that moment,

something incomparably important filled Tang Chen's empty heart.

It was tens of millions of times more important than the entire group!

The father and daughter had already drawn plenty of attention.

When they suddenly embraced and wept, all the passing pedestrians stopped and gathered to watch...

The doll-like little girl rode on the handsome young man's shoulders. As they walked along, passing pedestrians kept turning to look.

"What an adorable little girl. I'd be willing to be her mom!"

"Get lost. Don't think I don't know you're Little Bridge, Flowing Water!"

"The little girl is so adorable. I really want to hug her dad..."

On Tang Chen's shoulders,

Tang Yao, whose legs Tang Chen held securely with both hands, wrapped one arm around his head while holding his phone to her ear with the other.

"Hello, Mommy! It's Yaoyao!"

"I'm with Daddy, Mommy. Don't worry!"

"Okay, bye-bye, Mommy!"

In the backseat of the Mercedes-Benz,

Shen Qingyan, pale as a sheet, finally let out a breath and slumped into her seat.

When the kindergarten had called to say Tang Yao was missing, her heart had dropped straight to the bottom.

Thank goodness nothing had happened...

As for her being with Tang Chen...

Shen Qingyan was not all that worried.

After all, no matter what, Tang Chen was the little girl's biological father!

Tang Yao had just called Tang Chen Daddy.

That meant Tang Chen had confirmed that Tang Yao was his daughter.

And the father and daughter had already recognized each other...

Just then,

the kindergarten called again.

"Yaoyao's mother, is there any news about Yaoyao?" Tang Yao's teacher asked.

"She has been found, Teacher Li. There's no need to worry," Shen Qingyan said.

"It's good that she's been found..."

Teacher Li on the other end of the line let out a long breath of relief.

She had also broken out in a cold sweat from lingering fear.

But unlike Shen Qingyan,

she was afraid that if anything happened to Tang Yao, she would have to bear joint responsibility as well!

"Sister Lin, Yaoyao has been found. Let's go to Qinghewan."

"Yes, President Shen."

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class turned around once more...

"Daddy, I want to ride the carousel!"

"Daddy, I want to ride the roller coaster too!"

"Is it too dangerous? Okay, then..."

"Daddy, you're so handsome... so can I have an ice cream?"

The father and daughter's laughter echoed throughout the amusement park.

As the sky gradually darkened, Tang Chen put the little girl on his shoulders again and walked out of the amusement park.

At that moment,

a Rolls-Royce had already been waiting outside the amusement park for quite some time.

Tang Chen got into the car with the little girl. She still held a vanilla ice cream in her hand, happily eating it.

"Good evening, Mr. Tang."

A familiar voice rang out from the driver's seat.

The driver was none other than Gao Fei, Tang Chen's driver back in New York City.

A tough-looking man in his early thirties.

"Liu An still managed to drag you back," Tang Chen said with a shake of his head and a smile.

"It wasn't dragging. I applied for the transfer myself. I was worried you'd be uncomfortable riding in someone else's car, Mr. Tang," Gao Fei said with a smile.

Just then,

Yaoyao cried out, "Oh no! The ice cream dripped onto the seat!"

"It's fine. Just wipe it off."

Tang Chen affectionately rubbed Tang Yao's head, took out several wet wipes, wiped the seat, then wiped her little hands as well.

Seeing this through the rearview mirror, Gao Fei found it somewhat unbelievable.

In all these years, this was the day he had seen Tang Chen smile the most.

And he had even shown such an expression...

"Mr. Tang, this little girl is so pretty. Is she your..."

Gao Fei asked tentatively.

Tang Chen picked up the little girl and pressed their faces together. With a light smile, he asked, "What do you think?"

Tang Yao immediately put on an adorable smile as well.

Looking at the two remarkably similar smiling faces, one big and one small,

Gao Fei's hand could not help but tremble...

: What if he takes Tang Yao away and disappears for another five years? Please bookmark

Although Qinghewan Residential Complex was not on par with the villa district at Seaside Villa Estate, it was still one of the most luxurious upscale residential communities in all of Magic City.

"What?! You ran into that scumbag?! And Yaoyao was taken away by him?!"

Xu Nan sprang up from the dining table as if she had stepped in dog shit.

"Shen Qingyan, have you lost your mind? Yaoyao was taken away by that scumbag, and you can still sit here so calmly eating? Aren't you afraid that scumbag will hurt Yaoyao?"

"He... wouldn't."

Shen Qingyan shook her head.

"He could disappear for five years and abandon you and your daughter for five years. What do you think he wouldn't be capable of doing?"

Xu Nan snatched Shen Qingyan's chopsticks away.

Shen Qingyan finally raised her head.

Looking at the best friend before her—the only one who had stayed by her side when she gave birth, the one person in the world who would never treat her badly or harm her—she took a deep breath and said, "He didn't know I was pregnant, and we... didn't know each other at all. So he didn't abandon his wife and daughter."
