"Come here, come here. Let me help you get dressed, hehehe..."
Qin Yan hugged her tiny self. The secretary's smile was a little frightening.
In the end, the little kitten put on the pretty little dress.
There was even a furry cat tail at the back.
Qin Yan tilted her head curiously to look at it, then grabbed the fluffy tail and squeezed it.
Even the little socks had two cute little ears.
Her hair hardly needed any styling; all it took was putting on a cat-ear headband.
Like a large doll, she simply stood there obediently while she was dressed and fussed over.
Secretary Lin screamed inwardly, pulled out her phone, and snapped several pictures.
How could she be this pretty? I really want to steal her away and raise her myself!!!
"All done. Come on, let's go look in the mirror."
She tried hard to act more normal so she wouldn't scare the little girl.
There was a full-length mirror over by the secretaries' office.
But the moment she brought Qin Yan out, the little girl's uncle, Fu Yunting, intercepted them.
Fu Yunting had also changed into a suit, a sedate black one.
"Uncle."
The little one called out in her sweet, babyish voice as soon as she saw him, scurrying over to his side.
Fu Yunting looked at his niece in her pretty kitty outfit, overcome by her cuteness.
He swept out an arm and scooped the pretty kitty straight into his arms.
She still carried that fresh grape scent. It smelled lovely.
The scent of that soap really lasted.
And it wasn't a scent clinging to her skin; it seemed to come from within her body itself.
"Beautiful. Just what I'd expect of my niece," he praised without the slightest restraint.
Qin Yan gave a shy smile, a lovely little dimple appearing by her lips, so cute it made people want to poke it.
"Come on, let's eat."
Holding the pretty little kitten in one arm, he headed to the cafeteria.
He cheerfully greeted everyone he met along the way.
"Take a look. What would you like?"
Although Fu Yunting was stingy, he readily paid for things worth spending money on.
For instance, he paid his employees well and was willing to spend on the cafeteria, too, so the staff meals all looked quite good.
With such delicious meals at work, hardly anyone ordered takeout.
That was also why, despite the heavy workload and frequent scoldings, everyone complained endlessly in private but never considered leaving for another company.
"Anything's fine."
Qin Yan ate everything and wasn't picky at all.
She was a kitty who was incredibly easy to raise.
But her uncle wanted to pamper her. His niece was such a fair, soft little bundle, so beautiful that she ought to be raised with tender care.
Just thinking about the life she'd led in that household made Fu Yunting's heart ache.
In the end, Qin Yan asked for shrimp, braised pork, and shredded potatoes with green peppers.
Just those three dishes were more than enough.
The woman serving the food wished she could pile Qin Yan's tray to the brim.
From the look of it, she wanted to feed the beautiful little baby like a piglet.
"That's enough, ma'am. She can't eat that much," Fu Yunting said.
Only after his reminder did the woman reluctantly put down her serving spoon.
"Sweetie, come back next time. I'll give you some extra. Look how skinny you are. You need to eat more to put on some weight."
Qin Yan nodded obediently and thanked her very politely, her little baby voice wonderfully sweet.
"Thank you, ma'am."
The woman was delighted and tucked an orange and a bottle of yogurt into her hands.
"Here, take these. Eat plenty."
Even Fu Yunting didn't get this kind of treatment when he ate here.
"Uncle, there's so much."
They found an empty table and sat down. Qin Yan sat obediently on her chair, gazing worriedly at the rice and dishes piled on her tray, her pretty little face so fair.
She rubbed her little belly.
"My tummy can't fit it all."
Fu Yunting was amused by her description.
Were all children this cute when they talked?
"Go ahead and eat. I'll finish whatever you can't."
Qin Yan nodded obediently and began eating on her own with a spoon.
A little spoonful of rice, a spoonful of food, until her cheeks bulged round.
But her appetite really was tiny.
She ate a little less than half the rice and not much of the other food.
She let out a burp, unable to eat any more.
But there was still so much food left.
Qin Yan's little face grew solemn.
Good babies didn't waste food.
She had never wasted food. Before, she hadn't even had enough to eat and had needed to find food herself.
Now she was so happy. There was more than she could finish, and it was incredibly delicious.
But her tummy felt so full.
"Full?"
Qin Yan nodded, still holding her spoon, and burped again.
"So full."
Fu Yunting simply took her food over and began eating.
He didn't look the slightest bit like the president of a major corporation should.
He had a big appetite. Even after finishing his own meal, he could easily fit his niece's leftovers in.
Qin Yan watched him with eyes full of admiration.
Eldest Uncle was amazing! He could eat so much!
"Come on, let's take a walk."
He was a little too full.
He would hit the weights at the gym in a bit.
The company had its own gym. If employees had been sitting too long or wanted to lose weight, they didn't need to go to a separate gym at all.
The company's exercise equipment was comprehensive.
Quite a few people came to the gym after eating.
Qin Yan followed beside her eldest uncle, peering around curiously and cautiously.
"Come here. Try this treadmill."
He set it to the lowest speed and lifted the pretty baby onto it.
Qin Yan stood on it and was carried away.
When she reached the end, Fu Yunting scooped her up again.
Qin Yan's eyes sparkled. This was fun!
"You're using it like an elevator," Fu Yunting said.
Qin Yan tilted her head, her eyes blank with confusion.
Fu Yunting rubbed her little head, then stepped onto it to demonstrate.
Qin Yan watched intently for a while, then nodded her little head. "I've got it."
This time, when he lifted her onto it, she moved her little legs and began walking.
Although the treadmill was set to its lowest speed, her legs were short, making her look very busy as she walked.
But she walked with incredible concentration.
A little kitty trot.
The corners of Fu Yunting's mouth lifted, overcome by her cuteness.
He began walking on the treadmill beside hers.
The other people in the gym were soon drawn to the sight of the pretty baby walking briskly, too.
They secretly took out their phones and snapped several pictures.
The little one's skin was fair with a lovely hint of pink, her face had the plump baby fat unique to children, and she wore a pretty little dress and a cat-ear headband, with a fluffy, furry tail hanging from the back of her skirt.
She was a little cat who had turned human.
Beautiful and photogenic.
No matter how they took the pictures, not one looked bad.
"She's so pretty."
"She really looks like a figurine doll."
"I want to buy her little dresses."
That was what a few women huddled together were discussing.
"She's so tiny."
"I feel like I could lift her with one hand."
"Are you trying to get yourself killed? Look who her guardian is."
"You don't know a damn thing. I'm just describing her. She's so cute, hehe... I want a daughter like that, too."
"Keep dreaming. Maybe you'll have one in your dreams."
That was what a few men were discussing.
Qin Yan heard none of it. After walking intently on the treadmill for a while, she grew tired.
Fu Yunting had been watching her the whole time and lifted her down when he noticed.
Then he took her to play with the other things in the gym.
He exercised with two dumbbells.
Beside him, the little baby held one dumbbell in both little hands and copied him.
After that, wherever Fu Yunting went, a pretty baby followed him.
Sometimes she copied his exercises, but everything she used was small-sized.
When there was exercise equipment she couldn't move, she quietly cheered her eldest uncle on from the side.
She was also especially diligent about bringing him water and holding his towel, standing on tiptoe to wipe his sweat.
More and more employees came to the gym, and many saw this scene. They were filled with envy and jealousy.
Their boss really had it all-not only was he rich, he even had such a pretty baby doting on him. They were all human, so why weren't they blessed like that?
