Chen Hansheng left Silicon Valley in the morning. After about three hours of flight, he slowly landed at JFK Airport at noon.
However, only his sister, Chen Lan, accompanied him. The poor secretary was left at the meeting in Silicon Valley because she had to help Director Feng record the contents of the meeting. When Li Xiaokai came, she also had to help draft some agreements.
In addition, as Secretary Dong of the company and Chen Hansheng's most trusted subordinate, she stayed to supervise him to a certain extent.
Chen Hansheng did not have any luggage. After getting off the plane and walking through the exit, he saw a few familiar figures from afar.
The first was Xiao Rongyu. In July, the temperature in the Bay Area of the United States was more than 20 degrees. Little Yu'er was wearing a white dress, which looked quite elegant. However, there was a ribbon tied around her slender waist. She tied it in a bow style, which made her look a little playful.
If it was before she became a mother, Little Yu'er would have worn a pair of white leather shoes, which made her look playful and youthful.
But then again, if it was before the outbreak of the Asura War, Little Yu'er would have run up to Chen Hansheng, who she had not seen for a long time, and jumped into her boyfriend's arms, shyly and intimately telling him how much she missed him.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
Now, Xiao Rongyu was not wearing a pair of shiny leather shoes. She was only wearing a pair of white flats, which made it more stable for her to hold the baby.
Of course, she did not jump over. She just stood at the exit calmly and stared at Chen Hansheng.
The wind in the airport was always blowing, and Xiao Rongyu's long hair was often blown up. A few strands even stuck to Chen Zipei's face, who was in her arms. She raised her chubby little arms and grabbed her "mother's" soft black hair.
The younger sister had a gentle personality. Occasionally, the older sister would pull the ends of Shen Youchu's hair, and the younger sister would just gently twirl it around her fingers. However, when she pouted her little face, she was simply a miniature version of Shen Youchu.
"Sister-in-law!"
Chen Lan couldn't wait to call out.
Facing Chen Lan, Xiao Rongyu finally broke into a smile. The familiar dimples reappeared on both sides of her mouth.
Chen Hansheng knew very well that Little Yu 'er wasn't here to pick him up. She just had an appointment with Chen Lan.
Besides Xiao Rongyu and Chen Zipei, Zhu Saiwen was also there to pick them up.
Chen Hansheng trusted his personal secretary. While Chen Lan and Xiao Rongyu were hugging, he walked over and asked, "How is it?"
This sentence didn't have a subject or a verb, so it sounded a little strange. However, the smart Seven knew what his boss wanted to ask, so he replied in a low voice, "Everything is fine. Aunt Liang is cooking at home, Professor Sun is in good health, and Director Xiao is in a good mood recently, but …"
"What happened?"
Chen Hansheng furrowed his brows.
"The baby doesn't know how to greet people yet," Seven said helplessly.
"She's been nine months, but she still doesn't know how to speak. Aunt Liang often holds Chen Zipei in the yard and teaches her over and over again."
"Don't worry."
Chen Hansheng smiled and said casually, "My daughter is an introvert. She's slower than her elder sister by a month. She can greet people if she wants to, but if she doesn't, just let her be."
Zhu Saiwen nodded silently. Chairman Chen was really patient with his biological daughter.
"Oh, Lan, you can't kiss her like that."
At this time, Xiao Rongyu's voice sounded. It was Chen Lan. She rushed over and kissed Xiao Rongyu passionately. Xiao Rongyu's smooth face was covered with saliva.
However, the baby had already forgotten about her aunt, so she resisted very obviously. Not only did she push Chen Lan away helplessly, but her eyes were also filled with tears. It seemed that she was going to cry at any time.
The little silly bun was usually very obedient and rarely cried. Xiao Rongyu's heart ached as he chased Chen Lan away. He held the little bun in his arms and comforted it softly.
Chen Hansheng also walked to his younger daughter. When he passed by Chen Lan, he knocked on her head. "Don't bully Chen Zipei!"
"I didn't!"
Chen Lan covered her head. She turned around and saw that there were no elders around. She decided to write it down first and tell her aunt about it later.
However, in front of Chen Hansheng, Xiao Rongyu, who was smiling just a moment ago, suddenly became cold. She was neither sad nor happy, as if the person standing in front of her was a stranger.
Zhu Saiwen slightly turned her body sideways. As a subordinate, she should pretend that she didn't see this embarrassing moment for her boss.
Chen Lan didn't need to avoid it, but she didn't know what to say in such an awkward situation.
However, Chen Hansheng was Chen Hansheng. He could definitely break the awkward situation by himself. He coughed slightly. "Well … Why don't you wear a high ponytail these days?"
"What?"
As expected, Xiao Rongyu raised her head. From her expression, it could be seen that she was a little surprised.
Normally, Chen Hansheng would choose not to say anything and directly carry his daughter over. In that case, Xiao Rongyu wouldn't stop him. After all, he was the baby's biological father.
He might also say something like "Long time no see" or "Thank you for taking care of our daughter", and Xiao Rongyu would continue to ignore him.
To her surprise, Chen Hansheng didn't play by the rules. He actually started the conversation with "high ponytail". It felt like they were still a couple.
"I think a high ponytail suits your temperament very well."
Chen Hansheng said with sincerity.
"It's not convenient to take a child with me."
Xiao Rongyu was struck dumb for a second, then found an excuse to reply.
"Oh, I see."
Chen Hansheng suddenly understood. He held his daughter in his arms and said to himself, "Look at how much your mother has given up for you."
Xiao Rongyu pretended that she didn't hear it. Originally, she didn't want to say a word to Chen Hansheng, but this man always had a way to strike up a conversation, and she was always forced to respond.
Chen Hansheng took advantage of her, so he stopped when he was ahead. He held his daughter and walked to the parking lot. He said intimately, "Sweetheart, do you miss me?"
Maybe this was the blood relationship. Chen Hansheng had left them for a while, but they didn't forget that this was their "father".
Chen Zipei stared at Chen Hansheng for a while, and finally recognized him. She obediently put her head on Chen Hansheng's shoulder and put her arms around her father's neck to increase her sense of security.
Smelling the milk fragrance on his daughter's body, Chen Hansheng felt a burst of satisfaction in his heart. No words could describe it.
… ….
After returning to the villa, Chen Hansheng saw his mother.
Liang Meijuan hadn't seen her son for a month. It would be a lie if she said that she didn't miss him. But after a few minutes, she started to dislike him.
"Chen Hansheng, don't hug the baby like this. Chen Zipei is only nine months old. You are hugging her so tightly. She will feel uncomfortable."
"Stay away from your beard. The baby's skin is so tender. Be careful not to poke her."
"Also, why didn't you bring any clothes? You always buy whatever you lack. You have a lot of money, right?"
"Chen Lan, don't laugh. Where is your luggage? You don't learn the good things from your brother. Instead, you have a lot of bad habits."
… ….
Empress Dowager Liang was used to nagging. Chen Hansheng smiled and didn't refute. Empress Dowager Liang was the only person in the world who could nag and criticize the famous "Fruit Shell Chen".
"Professor Sun."
Chen Hansheng greeted Professor Sun Biyu.
"Yes."
Professor Sun nodded. It seemed that he didn't want to talk to Chen Hansheng either.
In fact, after the outbreak of the Shuraba, Professor Sun helped Chen Hansheng a lot. But the little old lady was very proud. She didn't want Chen Hansheng to know. She just did what she thought was right.
The nanny, Auntie Lin, had already prepared the meal. Under the guidance of Chen Hansheng, Auntie Lin's daughter's income at Fruit Shell Electronics was much higher than at Shentong Express. When the mother and daughter talked on the phone, the daughter would always tell her mother that Chairman Chen was very rich and had a lot of connections. Fruit Shell Electronics was much more powerful than it looked.
As time passed, Auntie Lin, who had been working at Chen Hansheng's house for more than a year, felt a little restrained.
During lunch, the atmosphere was a little cold. Because there were fewer people here, and Xiao Rongyu and Professor Sun Biyu didn't talk to Chen Hansheng, only Liang Meijuan and Chen Hansheng could chat with each other.
But it couldn't go on like this. In the end, Zhu Saiwen, Chen Hansheng's personal secretary, opened her mouth and said, "Boss, I recently saw that our QQ group has been talking about Happy Base Camp. Is there any cooperation?"
"Yes, there is."
Chen Hansheng breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "In order to coincide with the release of 'Blue and White Porcelain' and the third-generation console, Old Chui spent money to buy an episode of 'Happy Base Camp'. He will also select a few highly educated handsome men and beautiful women from the factory to appear on the show."
"What?"
Chen Lan, who was playing with her phone while eating, heard it. She immediately felt annoyed and said, "Brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? I also want to go to the scene of Happy Base Camp."
In 2007, domestic variety shows were still very monotonous, and there were fewer of them.
Lucky 52 and Walk of Fame always invited the same few crosstalk and skit actors to go on stage. Chen Hansheng didn't know why. Maybe it was because of CCTV. They had to keep up with the standard.
Grandpa Zhao Zhongxiang and Aunt Ni Ping retired, and Zhengda Variety Show lost its popularity.
Celebrity interviews like Very Quiet Distance were good, but they weren't considered serious variety shows.
Therefore, Happy Base Camp was very precious. It was currently the most popular variety show. Almost all young people liked it. Otherwise, Cui Zhifeng wouldn't have spent money to go on the show.
Therefore, the entertainment industry was really a good thing. When they talked about these things after tea, the dining table instantly became lively. Chen Hansheng also happily bragged, "Nutshell Electronics went on Happy Base Camp because they gave them face. But He Jiong is still good. It's just that there's a host who doesn't have a presence. She's called Wu Xin?"
"No, no."
Chen Lan refuted her brother, "I think Du Haitao has the least presence."
"What? Who's Du Haitao? "
Chen Hansheng was surprised and asked.
… ….
This originally awkward lunch ended with all kinds of celebrity gossip, and Chen Hansheng also gradually integrated into it.
Because of the bad things he had done, whether it was Xiao Rongyu or Shen Youchu, they would feel a sense of repulsion at the beginning.
In the afternoon, Xiao Rongyu planned to take Chen Lan shopping in the downtown area to buy some clothes for her.
Chen Lan was really a capable girl. Not only did she win the love of Xiao Rongyu and Shen Youchu, but she also won the favor of Luo Xuan.
It wasn't easy. Luo Xuan was quite hot-tempered.
Needless to say, Shang Yeonyeon treated Chen Lan as a friend. Although she didn't have much contact with Chen Lan, she didn't forget to bring expensive small gifts for Chen Lan when she went on a business trip.
Among these sisters-in-law, only Xiao Rongyu and Shen Youchu often reminded Chen Lan to study hard.
First, everyone had different personalities. For example, Luo Xuan didn't care about these things at all. Second, Xiao Rongyu and Shen Youchu saw Chen Lan as their sister-in-law, and they had the responsibility to take care of her.
Chen Lan was very clear about this, so she always followed Xiao Rongyu around. Even when Xiao Rongyu coaxed Chen Zipei to take an afternoon nap, she wanted to stay in the bedroom.
Little Silly Bun had just finished eating and was teased by everyone for a while. Now, she was lying in her "mother's" arms. Her breathing was steady, and her little hands were clenched subconsciously. Because of her chubby hands, there were four obvious little dimples on the back of her hands. She looked very cute.
Chen Lan sat beside her happily and playfully poked her little niece's chubby cheeks. Xiao Rongyu slapped Chen Lan's playful arms. "Do you still want to buy things? If you wake her up, I won't have time to take you out."
"Then I won't disturb her."
Chen Lan stuck out her tongue. She thought that Little Yu'er's feelings for Chen Zipei were probably the same as Chen Zijin's feelings for Chen Youchu.
The Asura Arena has really been slowly smoothed out by my brother.
The sun outside was a little hot, but the temperature in the bedroom was just right. Chen Zipei breathed lightly. Her "mother" and aunt were staring at her.
"Lan."
All of a sudden, Xiao Rongyu asked in a low voice, "Chen Zijin is asleep. She's like this now, right?"
"What?"
Chen Lan was struck dumb. "Don't you video call Chen Zijin every day?"
Before she could finish her sentence, Chen Lan suddenly realized that Chen Zijin was always awake when they video called each other. In fact, Little Yu'er's sister-in-law hadn't coaxed Chen Zijin to sleep for a long time.
Thinking of this, Chen Lan, who had just praised her older brother, felt sorry for him. After all, they were biological mother and daughter.
"When Chen Zijin is asleep, she's not as well-behaved as Chen Zipei. She often rolls around on the bed. Youchu's sister-in-law often gets up in the middle of the night to confirm Chen Zijin's position."
Chen Lan tried her best to describe those scenes to fill Xiao Rongyu's imagination.
When Chen Lan mentioned Shen Youchu, she hesitated for a while, but still called her "sister-in-law" in the end.
"Zijin does like to move around."
Xiao Rongyu didn't care about this title at all. Her eyes were full of memories. "When she was with me in the past, she was very difficult to take care of. Shen Youchu must have worked very hard for her."
"You've worked very hard too, Little Yu'er's sister-in-law."
Chen Lan was as smart as her older brother. She listened to Xiao Rongyu's tone and analyzed her sister-in-law's current emotional state. She took the opportunity to flatter her. "Actually, you've worked very hard. Both of you are very cute. I've already thought about it. When the babies grow up, I'll take them to eat all over the world!"
Chen Lan said excitedly. Xiao Rongyu also smiled. After Chen Zipei fell asleep, Xiao Rongyu carefully put the babies on the bed and got up to change her clothes.
In the bedroom, one was a baby, and the other was her sister-in-law. Xiao Rongyu didn't hide it. Besides, she only changed her dress into sportswear.
"Sister-in-law!"
Chen Lan looked at Little Yu'er's bare back as she changed her clothes. She said with envy and pride, "You have such a good figure. Among all the people I've met in real life, you have the most well-proportioned body."
"Really?"
Xiao Rongyu was a little amused. She glanced at Chen Lan. "You've been sleeping with Shen Youchu recently, haven't you? Have you ever praised others with this sentence?"
"Yes, I have."
Chen Lan was exposed, but she didn't panic at all. She said frankly, "But I've never said that Youchu's body is well-proportioned. I've only said that she has big breasts."
"Haha!"
Little Yu'er, who was always lively, was amused by Chen Lan's words. Chen Lan struck while the iron was hot. "Sister-in-law, I want to sleep with you tonight."
"Sure, but you can't snore, or you'll disturb the babies."
Xiao Rongyu changed her clothes and patted Chen Lan's head. "Let's go. We'd better come back before Chen Zipei wakes up."
"Otherwise, she won't cry for you."
Chen Lan asked.
"Chen Zipei rarely cries. I want to come back early because …" Gu Ning said.
Xiao Rongyu bent down and kissed Chen Zipei's cheek. "Because I'll miss her."
"Oh!"
Chen Lan nodded obediently. Before she walked out, she grabbed the rubber band on the bookshelf and asked, "Sister-in-law, aren't you going to tie your hair?"
"What?"
Xiao Rongyu turned around and looked at her smart sister-in-law. "Do you want me to tie your hair?"
"I suggest you tie it up."
Chen Lan said with certainty. "Sister-in-law, I also think a high ponytail suits you best."
"Well … I'll have a chance in the future."
Xiao Rongyu smiled and turned to leave the bedroom.
"Fine."
Chen Lan pouted and put down the rubber band regretfully.
… ….
Xiao Rongyu went to Liang Meijuan's room first. She would occasionally go to the nearby library to look for information. It was inconvenient to take the babies with her at that time, so she had to tell Empress Dowager Liang in advance. In short, she had to make sure that there were adults around the babies.
Coincidentally, Chen Hansheng and his mother were chatting. After all, Empress Dowager Liang rarely went out of the province, let alone abroad. It was the first time in her life that she had been away from her husband for so long.
After Xiao Rongyu explained the reason, Chen Hansheng said in surprise, "You're going out? I want to talk to you about something."
Xiao Rongyu didn't say anything, but her bright eyes turned to Chen Hansheng as if she was asking for his opinion.
"Ahem."
Chen Hansheng coughed. Liang Meijuan understood and stood up. "I'm going to take care of the babies."
After Empress Dowager Liang left, Chen Hansheng said, "Well … the milk tea shop lost the first trial. You know about it, right?"
"Yes."
Xiao Rongyu's expression didn't change. She seemed to know, but also seemed to not know.
"The second trial will probably be the final trial."
Chen Hansheng said carefully, "Bian Shishi agreed that Rongsheng Law Firm will represent her during the second trial."
In fact, the reason why Bian Shishi agreed was that Chen Hansheng persuaded her to accept it. However, in his words, it became Bian Shishi's initiative.
"Since Shishi agreed, she will arrange it."
Little Yu 'er's answer was flawless. After she finished speaking, she was ready to go out.
"What I mean is …"
Although it was a little rushed, he couldn't give up halfway. Chen Hansheng said straightforwardly, "Why don't you take charge of the milk tea shop's second trial?"
"Why?"
Little Yu 'er asked calmly.
"Why …"
This really confused Chen Hansheng. Yes, why did Little Yu 'er take charge of Shen Youchu's case?
Was it because Shen Youchu fed and took care of her daughter?
Or was it because they had already let go of their grudges?
Chen Hansheng couldn't tell Little Yu 'er the truth. If she helped the milk tea shop win the lawsuit, it meant that she and Shen Youchu had completely reconciled. If so, he, Chen Hansheng, could sit back and relax in the future.
Just when Chen Hansheng was in a daze, Xiao Rongyu left quietly. After a while, a sigh came from the bedroom.
… ….
Xiao Rongyu and Chen Lan went out at around 2 pm. As they said before, they were very fast. They drove, went shopping, and went back home before 4 pm.
It was the first time for Chen Lan to go shopping abroad. She bought so many clothes. She surrounded Little Yu 'er and acted like a spoiled child.
Unfortunately, Xiao Rongyu only cared about Chen Zipei. When she came back, the bed in the bedroom was empty.
Although there were so many people at home and the baby would be fine, Xiao Rongyu was still a little nervous. Professor Sun Biyu walked out of the study with reading glasses and said, "After Chen Zipei woke up, she was blowing bubbles quietly. However, Chen Hansheng insisted on bathing the baby. Liang Meijuan couldn't stop him."
"I see …"
The sound of water splashing could be heard from the bathroom. Only then did Xiao Rongyu feel relieved.
"My brother is like this in Jianye!"
Chen Lan complained. "As long as he has time, he will bathe Chen Zijin. Maybe it's fun to pinch her chubby little arms."
"Humph!"
Xiao Rongyu knew the brother and sister very well. She snorted and asked, "Since you know so much, do you pinch them too?"
"Haha!"
Chen Lan made a funny face. "That's because the baby is so cute. His little arms are like Michelin tires."
"I knew it."
Xiao Rongyu followed Chen Hansheng and gently knocked Chen Lan's head. It was a "punishment" for rubbing Little Yu 'er.
… ….
In fact, there was no need to worry about Chen Hansheng bathing the baby because he was her biological father and a real slave to her daughter.
However, Xiao Rongyu still wanted to see it in person. Fortunately, Chen Lan was here, so she signaled her to go to the bathroom and followed behind.
Chen Lan immediately agreed. She would probably choose her brother when it came to important matters, but she could be easily bought over when it came to trivial matters.
"Creak!"
Chen Lan pushed open the frosted door of the bathroom. Immediately, a wave of heat hit her face. It was because the bathtub was on.
Although it was already July, Chen Hansheng would rather be steamed until he sweated profusely than let his daughter catch a cold. The little silly bun lying in the bathtub was chubby all over. Chen Hansheng supported her back with one hand and poured water on her head with the other.
Chen Hansheng didn't drink bathwater anymore. Four months ago, every time he helped her bathe, she would drink a lot. Chen Hansheng was worried sick about this silly girl.
Seeing how gentle Chen Hansheng's movements were and how doting his gaze was, Chen Lan requested loudly, "Brother, can you help me wash my hair in a while? Can you?"
"No."
Chen Hansheng refused without hesitation. "Except for those who give birth to me and those who give birth to me …"
At this point, Chen Hansheng glanced at Xiao Rongyu and added, "Of course, there's also the one I love. I don't serve anyone else."
Little Yu'er ignored him and bent down to bathe Chen Zipei. Seeing her "mother", the little silly girl waved her little arms happily.
"Brother, don't you love me?"
Chen Lan was still pestering her brother. "I just told Little Yu'er that sometimes I feel that no one loves me except for my family."
"Ha-ha!"
Chen Hansheng forced a smile. "Lan, why do you think we love you?"
"Chen Hansheng, you've gone too far!"
Chen Lan reached out to pinch Chen Hansheng's neck. In fact, the siblings often played like this, but the little silly girl didn't know anything. She looked at her father and aunt in a daze, then turned to her "mother".
Xiao Rongyu suddenly realized that his daughter, who was always thought to be a little simple-minded, actually had a hint of "worry" in her eyes apart from the usual curiosity, as if she was worried that her father would be strangled to death by her aunt.
"She's really grown up."
Xiao Rongyu sighed. Chen Zipei was already nine months old. Normally, she would have all the emotions she should have, such as anger, fear, happiness …
In that case, the little silly girl wasn't actually a little silly. She was just lazy and didn't like to express herself.
In addition, she should be able to call her "mother".
Her sister, Chen Zijin, had already learned how to call her 'mom' a month ago. She could still hear her childish voice calling out to Shen Youchu during the video call.
Xiao Rongyu was happy but sad at the same time. She didn't expect that Chen Zipei would speak in the blink of an eye.
"When will she be able to call me that?"
Xiao Rongyu was looking forward to it, but she was also a little nervous.
Chen Zijin had called out "Mom" unintentionally when she went downstairs to play. She didn't know under what circumstances Chen Zipei would call out that.
… ….
After Chen Hansheng bathed his little daughter, he found a bath towel and wrapped it around her. Then, he patiently wiped her body, put on her clothes, and applied baby cream. Chen Zipei sat on the bed obediently and let her father rub her body.
However, Chen Hansheng was also bored. He combed his daughter's hair into a slicked-back hairstyle and muttered, "If you want to have a good life, put your hair back. Xu Wenqiang's hairstyle in the movie 'Shanghai Beach' was like this."
"No, no."
Chen Lan who was even more bored immediately said, "That's a style from the last century. Nowadays, it's popular to have short hair on both sides and long hair in the middle."
After saying that, Chen Lan still wanted to cut her niece's hair. Xiao Rongyu wouldn't let them fool around. She turned around and invited Empress Dowager Liang, the "bane of evil".
Before long, there was the sound of pillows hitting on the body in the bedroom. Chen Hansheng and Chen Lan begged for mercy. At the same time, there was the sound of the little silly boy babbling.
Xiao Rongyu stood outside the bedroom. When Chen Hansheng couldn't see her, there was a smile on her oval face.
This man had only been here for half a day, but this villa felt more and more like home.
However, when the wind blew in the corridor, Xiao Rongyu's long hair still fluttered in the wind.
… ….
The process in the evening was very simple. Dinner, cleaning, and washing up. However, Xiao Rongyu still ignored Chen Hansheng on the surface.
At around 9 o 'clock, Xiao Rongyu turned on the computer and prepared to video call Shen Youchu. However, Chen Zipei wasn't lying on the bed as usual.
She wasn't with grandma either. Xiao Rongyu's heart skipped a beat. Maybe this was how mothers were like. They had to see the baby from the corner of their eyes at all times.
When Xiao Rongyu found Chen Zipei, she found that she was sitting in the courtyard with Chen Hansheng. The father and daughter were enjoying the cool air while "chatting".
The little silly boy didn't know how to talk. It was mainly Chen Hansheng talking to himself. Xiao Rongyu didn't make a sound. There was no one else in the courtyard. It was quiet and beautiful.
The moonlight was like fine sand quietly spread on the lush shrubs, leaving a jagged and mottled reflection. The leaves swayed with the wind and the stars twinkled brightly. In the midst of the croaking of the frogs, a harmonious melody of light and sound was intertwined.
"Baby."
Chen Hansheng pointed at the silver disc in the sky. "That's the moon. What's it called in English? Moon, yes! Moon, repeat after me. "
"Oh ~"
Chen Zipei raised her head and opened her half-closed little mouth. It seemed that she wanted to repeat the pronunciation of "moon" with her father, but she didn't make a sound.
"The moon is very beautiful, just like your Little Yu 'er's mother."
Chen Hansheng said with emotion.
Xiao Rongyu didn't say anything. Xiao Chen was too cunning. He might have deliberately said some words for her to hear.
However, Chen Hansheng's next sentence made Xiao Rongyu give up this idea.
"Daughter."
Chen Hansheng shook the little girl in his arms and said gently, "Actually, you have an older sister. She is Little Yu 'er's mother's biological daughter."
Chen Zipei didn't respond because she didn't understand at all.
Xiao Rongyu didn't respond either because she wanted to hear how Chen Hansheng would introduce her to the baby.
"You're all the most precious to me."
Chen Hansheng's tone was full of hope and happiness. "I hope you can get along well with your older sister. It's very happy to be a younger sister because you have an older sister than your older sister. It's also very happy to be an older sister because you have an older sister than your older sister …"
Xiao Rongyu couldn't help laughing when she heard such a "Matryoshka doll" answer. A faint happiness lingered in her heart. She didn't care about this father and daughter who had a harmonious relationship. She went back to the bedroom and opened a QQ video call.
After the call was connected, Shen Youchu and Chen Zijin appeared on the computer screen. Xiao Rongyu adjusted her emotions and explained, "Chen Zipei won't video call us tonight, but it's okay. Shen Youchu, let's not watch the baby tonight. I want to talk to you about the lawsuit of the milk tea shop in detail …"
… ….
The video call tonight was longer than usual. At around 10 pm, Chen Hansheng wanted to send his daughter who was dozing off back to her room. He didn't expect that the bedroom was locked.
"Do you want to sleep with me?"
Chen Hansheng thought for a while and gave up. The two sisters were weaning recently, and it was safest for them to sleep with their mother at this time.
After a while, Xiao Rongyu opened the door and took Chen Zipei into her room. Through the gap of the door, Chen Hansheng saw his younger sister Chen Lan lying on the bed lazily. She was sleeping on Xiao Rongyu's pillow and covered with Xiao Rongyu's quilt. Chen Lan looked very proud.
"What a villain!"
Chen Hansheng spat with envy, then went back to his room to sleep.
The first night Chen Hansheng came to the United States was peaceful. On the second day, everyone accepted Chen Hansheng's existence and did their own things.
Chen Hansheng read his emails. He didn't have to worry about the time difference and often talked to his subordinates on the phone.
Xiao Rongyu and Professor Sun would sit in the shade of the courtyard and talk about the law firm's cases. The cool breeze blew Little Yu 'er's black hair up and down.
This scene was very beautiful, but Professor Sun felt sad.
She was her favorite disciple. Since she came to the United States, she didn't seem to have tied a high ponytail.
"High ponytail" seemed to be Xiao Rongyu's symbol. It represented both arrogance and liveliness. However, after the Shuraba outbreak, Xiao Rongyu rarely tied her hair up. She mostly let her long hair drape over her shoulders.
Although this was just an inconspicuous detail, Xiao Rongyu had another kind of beauty.
However, from Chen Hansheng to Mr. and Mrs. Xiao, from Bian Shishi to Chen Lan, and from Professor Sun, all the "small fish" and "neutral parties" wanted her to wear her high ponytail again.
It was as if the "high ponytail" Xiao Rongyu was the real White Moonlight!
Unfortunately, Little Yu 'er didn't accept it.
… ….
Chen Hansheng and Xiao Rongyu both had jobs. Liang Meijuan, who had retired, could only focus all her energy on her little granddaughter. Even if the baby was resting, she would still look at her three times an hour. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
This was very similar to Lv Yuqing's feelings for Chen Zijin. In the past, Director Lv was used to living like a princess. Now that he often carried his granddaughter, his waist muscles began to strain.
However, even if this was the case, Lv Yuqing still insisted on carrying Little Yu 'er. Chen Hansheng could only understand the love the elderly had for the continuation of their bloodline, but he couldn't personally experience it.
3 pm in the afternoon, Chen Zipei woke up from her afternoon nap and was carried by her grandmother to the courtyard to bask in the sun. Everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered around.
Human children didn't need to work or earn money, but of course, they were loved by people. Even when they gained weight, people would praise them for being cute.
Chen Hansheng carried his daughter over. The nine-month-old baby was still very small. With such a small body, Chen Hansheng could support her little butt with one hand.
"Chen Zipei, you seesee you, on our day, just lysleepsleep."
Chen Hansheng educated his daughter in Chinese English as he willingly massaged her. Feeling her father's strong and warm shoulders, the little silly girl would open her mouth and smile.
The baby's smile was very healing. Everyone took out their phones to take pictures of this scene. After Chen Lan finished taking pictures, she inadvertently glanced at Xiao Rongyu's phone album. She said in surprise, "Sister-in-law, you have so many pictures and videos of the baby on your phone."
Xiao Rongyu was a very girlish mother. Since the little silly girl was so cute, she must have taken many pictures.
"Yes."
Xiao Rongyu didn't deny it. She said crisply, "Chen Zipei has small peach blossom eyes. The pictures are very photogenic. Also, the camera on the phone is better than the computer. When she sees another version of herself on the screen, her expression will be very innocent and cute."
"Then I want to try."
Chen Lan, who was very curious, immediately put her little niece on her lap and turned the phone camera upside down to take a selfie.
Sure enough, Chen Zipei, who had no desires and was very passive, immediately opened her big round eyes and stared curiously at the phone screen. She even stretched out her small arms and wanted to snatch the phone.
"Ah ha ~"
Chen Lan "bit" her little niece's face and said with a smile, "So you were lazy before because you didn't meet something that you were interested in."
"Oh ~"
Chen Zipei seemed to be shy and turned her head to go into her father's arms.
Grandma Liang Meijuan was a little helpless. Her little granddaughter had a soft personality and was so beautiful. If she grew up in an ordinary family …
"Isn't this Shen Youchu?"
Liang Meijuan shook her head. She also missed another daughter-in-law.
In fact, not only Shen Youchu, Empress Dowager Liang also missed everything in the country. However, she had never urged her son.
This matter was about to be successful. Old Chen had already told them early on that now they had to completely hand over everything to Chen Hansheng and not disturb him at the last moment.
In the following days, Chen Hansheng had been handling business in the United States and accompanying Chen Zipei.
The relationship between the father and daughter was getting more and more intimate. Even Xiao Rongyu didn't understand. Chen Hansheng didn't take care of the children for a few days, but the two babies seemed to be more clingy to him.
In the blink of an eye, it was late July. It was already summer in Jianye. It was said that the campus of Eastern University was full of fallen gardenias, and the smell of flowers permeated the nose everywhere.
"Blue and White Porcelain" had become the most popular song. "Fruit 3" was also the most anticipated electronic product in this hot summer. Those prospective college students' "three things to go to school" one of them was the Fruit Shell third generation mobile phone.
Fruit Shell Network Technology Co., Ltd. was infinitely close to entering the Hong Kong stock market. This was a feast of capital, and also an opportunity for Chen Hansheng's value to skyrocket.
Therefore, Chen Hansheng was still relatively busy. He often held the babies in his left hand and typed in front of the computer or answered the phone with his right hand.
At around 8 o 'clock in the evening, which was also the morning in the country, Chen Hansheng and Feng Nanqi were discussing the framework of the continued cooperation between Samsung and Feng Nanqi.
Chen Hansheng's attitude was very tough. He had to make the Koreans spit out some key technologies. Samsung also had its own bottom line, so for the time being, they were still in a tug-of-war.
This was normal in negotiations. However, Chen Hansheng was holding Chen Zipei in his arms. Under the "guidance" of Chen Lan, the little silly girl was very interested in mobile phones. She wanted to touch everyone's phone when they were on the phone.
"Old Feng, you can't be polite to the Koreans. This is the key principle … Baby, don't move. Daddy and Uncle Feng are talking business."
Feng Nanqi was listening to the instructions of the big boss. Such a sentence suddenly popped out from the receiver, and he suddenly fell silent.
There were rumors about the big boss's relationship within the board of directors. Although Director Feng was not interested in these, he was still surprised to hear Chen Hansheng's personal confirmation.
"Director Chen, do you want me to call back later?"
Feng Nanqi thought for a while and said.
"No need."
Chen Hansheng didn't care at all. "It's not a secret. I'll make it public sooner or later. Let's continue to talk about work. I think the Koreans will raise other conditions. If they do … Why don't you listen to me? If you move again, I'll spank you."
Feng Nanqi listened quietly, but there was still a "click, click" sound in his ears. It seemed that there was an external force playing with the mobile phone.
"Tsk!"
Chen Hansheng clicked his tongue, and then Feng Nanqi couldn't hear any noise.
This was because Chen Hansheng had "made a move" on Little Silly Dumpling.
In fact, Chen Hansheng didn't have the heart to do that. He just patted his daughter's little butt gently. As expected, Chen Zipei was very obedient and stopped fighting for the mobile phone. She obediently lay on her father's shoulder.
This was the first time that Chen Hansheng "hit" his younger daughter. He often patted his older daughter's butt. Every time Chen Zijin complained that she wanted to see the excavator, Chen Hansheng patted her butt several times to make her quiet down.
However, Little Fishy was very lively. When she was "spanked", she would use her two little baby teeth to bite Chen Hansheng's face and leave a mouthful of saliva.
"Feng, what were we talking about? If the Koreans raise other conditions, we can't compromise in the domestic market, but we can negotiate in the overseas market. After the Android system is released, Nutshell will use this opportunity to rearrange its business."
Chen Hansheng saw that his younger daughter stopped making trouble, so he continued to talk on the phone. Before long, Xiao Rongyu walked out of the study. She was surprised for a second, then ran to them quickly.
Chen Hansheng didn't know what was going on, but before he could say anything, Xiao Rongyu directly grabbed his daughter and asked with a frown, "Why is my daughter crying?"
"Crying?"
Chen Hansheng looked at Chen Zipei with confusion.
Oh! His daughter was really crying, and she looked aggrieved.
Crystal tears slid down her chubby cheeks and fell on her clothes drop by drop. Maybe because she had just been spanked, she didn't dare to make a sound. She just twitched her mouth and sobbed. Occasionally, she would even spit out two bubbles.
Her silent and tearful appearance was too similar to Shen Youchu's.
Empress Dowager Liang's two younger granddaughters were her sweethearts. When she heard "the baby is crying" in the bedroom, she immediately ran out and questioned Chen Hansheng.
"I, I …"
Chen Hansheng regretted and felt sad, but he didn't lie. He would never lie to his daughter in this life. He said with guilt, "I was on the phone with my colleague, and Chen Zipei kept grabbing my phone, so I spanked her butt …"
Hearing that, Xiao Rongyu turned around and walked away. It could be seen that she was angry.
"Chen Hansheng, do you want to die? Don't you know my daughter is soft? How can you hit her? If you want to deal with work, then don't hold your daughter. If you want to take care of your daughter, then don't deal with work …"
Liang Meijuan scolded while hitting her son with a "bang bang bang" sound.
Chen Hansheng didn't stop her, nor did he explain things like "I didn't use any strength". In his mind, he overlapped the image of Shen Youchu and Chen Zipei crying, and his heart ached so much that it felt like it was being squeezed.
"You usually don't take care of your daughter, but you hit her whenever you see her. Don't sleep tonight, and reflect on yourself!"
After scolding her son, Liang Meijuan went to the bedroom to see her younger granddaughter. After opening the door, she asked Xiao Rongyu, "How is my daughter?"
"She stopped crying."
Xiao Rongyu let her mother-in-law into the bedroom, and glanced at the living room. Chen Hansheng was rubbing his head, and he seemed to blame himself.
"He's not pretending. He's really reflecting on himself."
Although Liang Meijuan scolded fiercely, she still helped Chen Hansheng at this time.
"I know."
Xiao Rongyu nodded. They walked to the bedside. Chen Zipei had stopped crying, but her eyes were a little red and swollen.
"My sweetheart!"
Empress Dowager Liang quickly carried her granddaughter and caressed her back. When Chen Zipei began to yawn, Empress Dowager Liang dragged Chen Lan out of the room. She didn't want her to disturb the baby tonight.
When only the mother and daughter were left in the bedroom, Xiao Rongyu changed into her pajamas and lay down beside Chen Zipei.
Xiao Rongyu and Chen Hansheng were both distressed that the silly baby was beaten to tears tonight, but she still comforted her in a soft voice, "Baby, don't blame your father. He didn't do it on purpose. He actually loves you very much."
Chen Hansheng would never expect that the kind Little Yu 'er would explain for him in a place where he couldn't see.
"Oh!"
Chen Zipei looked at her beautiful and sweet mother. She kicked her legs and muttered as if she was replying.
"You said you've already forgiven your father."
Xiao Rongyu often talked to Chen Zipei like this. It didn't matter if she didn't know how to say it, as long as she translated her "oh, oh, oh" into her heart.
"But, little sister, you're too honest."
Xiao Rongyu tenderly pulled Chen Zipei closer, "You have to learn from big sister. If your father slaps your butt, bite him. That's what big sister does."
"Oh!"
Chen Zipei kicked her legs again and her little fists were clenched. Xiao Rongyu thought she was going to pee or poop, but when she touched the diaper, she found that it wasn't wet.
"Do you want to learn how to walk? But it's not time yet."
Xiao Rongyu smiled. She kissed Chen Zipei's red apple-like face and then tilted her head, "Go to bed early. Mommy loves you."
"Oh!"
This time, Chen Zipei muttered for a longer time. Just when Xiao Rongyu began to worry, two syllables suddenly jumped out from Chen Zipei's mouth.
“mama！”
Probably because it was the first time she spoke, it sounded a little vague. However, Xiao Rongyu was stunned. She was so nervous that her throat was a little dry. She bent down to look at Chen Zipei, "What did you say?"
"Mommy! Mommy!"
"Mommy! Mommy!"
"Mommy!"
After the first syllable, she became more familiar and clearer with it. Xiao Rongyu suddenly understood that Chen Zipei kicked her legs so hard just now in order to force herself to call her "mommy".
"Oh, oh, oh …"
Xiao Rongyu kept replying. She was afraid that she would miss any of the words "mommy". Her tears inexplicably fell down.
This was probably the most beautiful way to address someone in the world. At this moment, all the troubles and sadness seemed to disappear, or it could be said that all of them had been transformed into responsibility and moved.
Just because she called her "mommy", she had to protect her in the future.
"Phew!"
After a long time, Xiao Rongyu wiped her tears and lifted Chen Zipei up from the bed. She said firmly, "Mommy loves you. I love you like I love my elder sister!"
… …
The next morning, Chen Hansheng knocked on the door. He couldn't sleep last night. As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the little silly girl crying silently. Now, he wanted to apologize to his daughter.
"Kacha!"
However, when the door was opened, both of them were stunned.
Xiao Rongyu felt strange about Chen Hansheng's haggard face.
Chen Hansheng was shocked that Xiao Rongyu actually tied a high ponytail.
The high ponytail swayed in front of his eyes, and the familiar oval face and dimples made Chen Hansheng, who didn't sleep last night, very absent-minded.
It was as if those memories had never faded.
