Most of the messages in the group were from Old Master Fu, with Fu Nanshan occasionally giving a brief reply or two.
Fu Yunting was amused as he read them.
Fu Yunting: Well, look who's here. Number Five, you actually know how to use a phone.
Fu Nanshan: ...
He simply disliked using his phone. He wasn't some old fossil, much less an idiot!
Having arrived at the company, Fu Yunting stopped checking his messages and strode into the office building carrying the little girl dressed as a red panda.
"President Fu."
"Good morning, President Fu."
Employees passing by stopped to greet him respectfully when they saw him.
Fu Yunting was in a good mood and occasionally returned their greetings.
But although everyone was greeting him, their eyes landed on the fluffy little bundle in his arms.
Qin Yan slept so soundly that she was oblivious to everything, completely unaware that people were watching her.
Fu Yunting had the classic looks of a tough guy, and he was very tall.
Against his large frame, Qin Yan looked especially tiny.
With her fluffy red panda outfit, she was clearly an adorable little thing.
The big man and tiny child were two extremes.
Yet together, they looked strangely harmonious.
Even Fu Yunting looked considerably gentler beside her.
It was almost unbelievable that the word "gentle" could be applied to Fu Yunting.
Fu Yunting keenly noticed the employees looking at him.
This would never have happened before.
Everyone was rather afraid of him.
Although Fu Yunting could sometimes be down-to-earth and was always pulling outrageous stunts, no one could handle him when he went wild. He was vicious when he chewed people out, with a tongue so poisonous that one lick of it could poison even himself.
They often complained about him in private.
When he reached the elevator, there were already people inside.
This elevator was reserved for the company's senior management.
There weren't many people inside, just five.
All five turned their eyes toward him at once, their expressions shifting from calm with a trace of nervousness to shock.
"President Fu!"
After greeting him, they watched with peculiar expressions as he walked in carrying a child.
"Morning."
The elevator fell quiet for a moment before someone, overcome with curiosity, asked the question on everyone's mind.
"President Fu, is this... your child?"
They hadn't heard that he was married.
And he had even brought a child to work.
Fu Yunting said, "No, my niece."
"Oh, your niece."
Wait... wasn't there only one daughter in the Fu Family? And she had...
But no one asked about it. Everyone familiar with the Fu Family's circumstances knew that Fu Qinghuan was a taboo subject no outsider dared casually mention.
So this little girl was Fu Qinghuan's child? Why hadn't they heard about her?
Curious as they were, no one asked anything further.
Qin Yan woke up. Still groggy with sleep, she first hugged Fu Yunting's neck and nuzzled him like a kitten.
Only then did she open her eyes, her little face blank with confusion.
Since Fu Yunting stood at the front, the way he held Qin Yan allowed everyone at the back of the elevator to see her waking up.
An exquisitely beautiful little face came into view. She looked soft and sweet, without much of a temper, with large, lovely eyes and thick, curled lashes that countless women would envy and covet.
She looked like an impossibly beautiful figurine that didn't belong in this world, except this figurine had been given life and come alive!
A female manager at the back immediately covered her mouth, afraid she would scream.
So beautiful, so adorable. She wanted her so badly!
Why wasn't this her baby?!!!
The other male executives also instinctively broke into smiles, not only because they were afraid of frightening her, but also because she was their boss's little one.
"Had enough sleep?"
Qin Yan still hadn't grasped what was happening and lay dazed against her uncle's shoulder.
Only at her eldest uncle's voice did she gradually come to her senses. Then she shyly clutched the fabric at his shoulder and ducked her fluffy head, hiding herself.
Everyone in the elevator found her reaction unbearably cute.
Ding...
The elevator had arrived.
Fu Yunting strode out with his little niece in his arms as the others watched reluctantly.
"If you haven't slept enough, you can sleep in my office."
Qin Yan buried her head against his chest and shook it.
"I'm not sleeping anymore."
Her soft, babyish voice reached Fu Yunting's ears.
Quietly and curiously, she slowly raised her head again.
Then she saw several secretaries and assistants who had already arrived for work.
They were all looking at her too.
Qin Yan: ...
S-so many people.
The shy, timid little baby tucked her head away again.
Once Fu Yunting brought her into his office, there were finally fewer people around.
Only his assistant followed them inside.
Meanwhile, outside in the secretarial office, the secretaries came to their senses and began whispering excitedly.
"What a beautiful angel baby!"
"When she looked up just now, I thought I'd traveled to another world. How can someone so little be so beautiful?"
"Oh my goodness, those eyes! Those eyelashes actually exist!"
"Our President Fu looks like a dad."
"Is the baby President Fu's daughter?"
"I wonder if she'll come out."
The baby they were discussing was currently accepting milk from the assistant.
"Thank you, big brother."
Assistant Shen flashed a perfect smile, unconsciously pitching the voice higher.
"You're welcome. Is there anything else you want, sweetie?"
Fu Yunting asked, "Got something stuck in your throat?"
Assistant Shen: ...
You don't understand, boss. The baby looks like such a beautiful kitty, the kind with long white fur all over, a soft little lion cat with a delicate voice.
Who wouldn't put on a sweet voice and call "Here, kitty, kitty" when they saw a kitten like that?
There was nothing Qin Yan wanted.
Holding her milk, she followed at her eldest uncle's feet like an exceptionally clingy, beautiful kitten.
Assistant Shen really envied the boss.
How could someone be so lucky? He was already so rich, and he even had such a beautiful, clingy, well-behaved baby at home.
Qin Yan waited for her eldest uncle to tell her what to do.
"If you aren't going to sleep, go sit on the sofa over there."
"Assistant Shen, bring a tablet and put some cartoons on for her. Get a little blanket to cover her legs too, and some fruit..."
With her instructions received, Qin Yan took tiny steps toward the sofa, holding her milk with Tuantuan perched on her head.
Then she huffed and puffed as she climbed up and sat properly.
Assistant Shen immediately brought over a small table.
Holding the tablet, the assistant asked what cartoon she liked watching.
Qin Yan said, "I want to watch Goat and Wolf."
It was the cartoon she watched on television at home.
Assistant Shen quickly found it, started playing it, and set the tablet on the little table.
Then the assistant went to fetch a fruit platter.
Qin Yan was soon engrossed in the cartoon.
Even while eating fruit, she didn't forget Tuantuan.
Fu Yunting was very busy. After working in his office for a while, he had to go to a meeting.
Before leaving, he called in a secretary.
"Yanyan, this is Secretary Lin. Uncle's going to a meeting. If you want or need anything, ask her."
Qin Yan nodded obediently, hopped off the sofa, and followed him to see him out of the office.
"Uncle, come back soon."
The little baby gazed up at him eagerly.
Fu Yunting crouched down and pinched her pretty little cheeks, which had grown plump with good care.
"Got it." They felt so nice.
After watching her uncle leave, Qin Yan turned around and discovered several pairs of eyes fixed on her.
Startled, she darted back into the office.
