Psst! We're moving!
Liang Yan paid no attention to her chatter.
He opened his book, and as soon as Zhi Zhi noticed he wasn’t responding, she rested her head on the table and looked at him. “Brother Liang Yan, did you hear what I said?”
Liang Yan didn’t even lift his head. “I heard.”
Zhi Zhi asked, “Then why didn’t you kiss me?”
Hearing her innocent question, Liang Yan shifted his gaze from the book to Zhi Zhi and thoughtfully replied, “In the future, don’t randomly kiss others. It’s not appropriate.”
Zhi Zhi said, “I won’t randomly kiss others.”
Liang Yan added, “Even if it’s me, I’m still someone else.”
Zhi Zhi shook her head. “How can Brother Liang Yan be someone else?”
Liang Yan felt it was impossible to reason with her.
Children had their own logic. Due to family circumstances, he had a more mature personality, while Zhi Zhi, who had been doted on by everyone, was innocent.
As they were talking, crying could be heard from nearby.
The teacher walked in and asked what happened. Zhi Zhi overheard the boy crying and saying, “The pretty little sister didn’t kiss me.”
“…”
“Which pretty little sister?” the teacher asked.
The boy pointed at Zhi Zhi.
Zhi Zhi didn’t understand—she was just a girl who hadn’t even turned three yet.
After some time, the teacher realized that the other classmates had seen Zhi Zhi kissing Liang Yan, and this boy had cried out of envy.
Zhi Zhi was the most adorable intruder in the class.
After comforting the boy, the teacher walked to the back row, crouched down, and asked, “Liang Yan, is what they said true?”
Liang Yan nodded.
Zhi Zhi also nodded. “It’s true—”
The teacher sighed and said to Zhi Zhi, “Zhi Zhi, such behavior isn’t very appropriate. Do you know what inappropriate means?”
Zhi Zhi sat on her little stool and waved her hands.
“Having feelings is fine, but you shouldn’t randomly kiss others,” the teacher patted her head. “Kissing Mommy and Daddy is okay, but even teachers should be avoided as much as possible.”
“Teacher, let me tell you something secretly,” Zhi Zhi tilted her head up.
Curious about what this little imp might say, the teacher leaned closer. “Go ahead, I’m listening.”
Zhi Zhi whispered, “None of them are as handsome as Brother Liang Yan.”
Of course, she wanted to kiss the best-looking one.
Her mommy was beautiful, her daddy was handsome—she loved kissing them the most, and now there was Brother Liang Yan too.
She thought her voice was low, but Liang Yan sitting next to her heard every word clearly.
The teacher couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time. Liang Yan was the most handsome child in their school. When she first started teaching this class, the other teachers in the office envied her endlessly.
Who would have thought Zhi Zhi could be so appearance-obsessed?
But it wasn’t surprising. The only reason she managed to root herself in the older class was because Liang Yan was here.
“Even if someone is handsome, you can’t kiss them,” the teacher earnestly reminded her. “Such actions require consent from the other person.”
Zhi Zhi nodded her little head.
After the teacher left, she asked Liang Yan, “Brother Liang Yan, let me ask you something. Can I kiss you?”
Liang Yan: “...”
The teacher’s words went in one ear and out the other.
When Zhi Zhi didn’t hear his response, she assumed he disagreed and sighed like a miniature adult, resting her cheek on her hand.
Her little brain had limited capacity, and now it was completely occupied by the thought of “how to kiss Brother Liang Yan.”
Being a child was so hard, Zhi Zhi thought.
Liang Yan watched her profile, his lips unconsciously curling upward.
________________________________________
Zhi Zhi’s kindergarten life was peaceful and joyful.
After He Xingwang repeatedly reminded her and found it ineffective, he even considered switching kindergartens, but Chi Suisui refused.
“This is the best kindergarten in Nancheng. Why switch?” Chi Suisui said. “It’s just liking a little boy.”
Maybe after a while, she’d like someone else.
Their daughter was so obsessed with looks.
Chi Suisui stroked her chin. “Liang Yan is indeed quite handsome. Mixed-race kids are really beautiful.”
He Xingwang: “...”
Seeing his cold expression, Chi Suisui couldn’t help but smirk. “You know, Liang Yan’s parents are abroad, and he lives with his grandparents.”
He Xingwang hummed in acknowledgment.
He had already investigated after learning that Zhi Zhi had gone to the older class on the first day. Liang Yan’s grandfather was a renowned university professor, and his grandmother was a tea art expert. Their family belonged to a scholarly lineage.
“I estimate he’ll go abroad after elementary school,” Chi Suisui rolled over. “By then, Zhi Zhi will forget after some time.”
“Not necessarily,” He Xingwang opened his mouth.
Little did he know that his words would come true in the future.
Chi Suisui exclaimed, “Stop obsessing over this. Having such a polite friend is a good thing. Besides, I have a business trip tomorrow.”
Because the news agency was tracking a social story, she didn’t trust her employees and decided to take them on the trip herself.
This meant she’d be away from home for two days.
Fortunately, it was the weekend, so Zhi Zhi didn’t need to go to kindergarten. Before leaving, she instructed He Xingwang and the auntie to take care of Zhi Zhi.
“You can send her to my mom’s place,” Chi Suisui said.
“One day to grandma’s, one day to grandma’s,” He Xingwang said fairly, calmly adding, “Let Zhi Zhi decide.”
“And then you won’t have to take care of the child alone, right?” Chi Suisui teased him.
“I can handle it.” He Xingwang looked at her.
Chi Suisui didn’t trust men’s childcare skills, especially with a mischievous child like Zhi Zhi. She figured that once Zhi Zhi threw a tantrum, He Xingwang might give in to everything.
She left early the next morning before Zhi Zhi woke up.
When Zhi Zhi discovered her mother wasn’t around, she was being dressed by the auntie, standing on her little bed with her arms outstretched.
He Xingwang pushed open the door. “Zhi Zhi.”
Zhi Zhi laughed loudly. “Daddy, good morning!”
She was carried off the bed by the auntie and ran to He Xingwang, hugging his leg. “Why didn’t Mommy come to braid my hair today?”
He Xingwang said, “Mommy is on a business trip.”
Zhi Zhi made an “oh” sound. Being so young, she didn’t fully understand the meaning of a business trip, but she knew her mom wasn’t home today.
That meant no one would control her.
Zhi Zhi beamed and was carried downstairs by He Xingwang. She obediently ate breakfast, pretending to be exceptionally well-behaved.
“Later, Daddy will go to work,” He Xingwang solemnly asked her, “Do you want to go to grandma’s or grandma’s?”
“I want to go to both!”
Kids always wanted everything.
“Choose one.” He Xingwang strictly said, “Can you be in two places at once?”
“Probably not.” Zhi Zhi tilted her head and thought. “Can I go to Daddy’s workplace? I want to see Daddy studying.”
“It’s work, not studying,” He Xingwang corrected her.
“See Daddy working,” Zhi Zhi repeated.
“No,” He Xingwang firmly rejected.
Zhi Zhi immediately pouted, her lips forming a perfect pout. “Why not? Zhi Zhi is so well-behaved. Zhi Zhi will definitely be obedient.”
She began to boast about herself.
He Xingwang’s stern expression softened. “Being obedient doesn’t mean going to work is suitable.”
Zhi Zhi shook her head and confidently said, “Daddy is lying. Mommy went before. Auntie Miaoli said the company is super fun.”
Auntie Miaoli was Song Miaoli.
He Xingwang guessed Song Miaoli had visited Gu Nanxuan’s company, where there were smart AI systems and robots, making it more entertaining than a regular company.
“Zhi Zhi will definitely be quiet,” Zhi Zhi blinked her big eyes. “How can Daddy not believe Zhi Bao? Zhi Bao will cry for you to see.”
No one could resist her sweet little voice when she was serious.
He Xingwang was somewhat helpless about her threat to cry but eventually saw that she really wanted to go, so he decided to bring her to the company.
Zhi Zhi obediently promised, “Zhi Bao will definitely be very quiet.”
He Xingwang chose to believe her for now.
________________________________________
Zhi Zhi was a very clever child.
She kept her promise, tightly closing her little mouth during the journey and after arriving at the company, not uttering a single word.
The news of Mr. He bringing his daughter to the company spread like wildfire.
The private group chats of the company’s employees exploded.
[Ahhh, did you see Mr. He’s daughter? I missed it!!]
[I came back and only saw the back of her head—why did I go to the bathroom at that moment?]
[Little Zhi Zhi’s dress today is so pretty.]
[There was no clear view of her face. I saw Mr. He’s daughter covering the lower half of her face, but those eyes were truly beautiful.]
Unfortunately, no photos could be taken.
Everyone was too shocked upon first sight to think about taking pictures, only realizing it afterward.
Mr. He and Chi Suisui’s child had been born nearly three years ago. After being publicly revealed when starting kindergarten, this was the first time appearing at the company.
The strict filter suddenly cracked open.
No matter how serious a man was, there were moments of softness, just like God He. His wife, his daughter, his family—they were his weaknesses.
He Xingwang’s office had a separate room.
As soon as Zhi Zhi entered the elevator, she released her hand covering her mouth and said, “Zhi Zhi can’t hold it anymore.”
The assistant couldn’t help but chuckle.
He Xingwang asked, “Why cover your mouth so tightly?”
Zhi Zhi leaned on his shoulder. “Zhi Zhi wants to talk less.”
She didn’t want to disturb Daddy’s work.
After He Xingwang sat down, the assistant began reporting today’s schedule, followed by the managers coming in to report.
Zhi Zhi played on the small sofa.
When the general manager walked in, he was momentarily stunned. Although he had been informed beforehand, seeing it with his own eyes was another matter.
Zhi Zhi saw the unfamiliar uncle and softly said, “Uncle, hello.”
Her voice was tiny, like a cute little bunny.
The middle-aged general manager was charmed, glanced at Mr. He, and softly responded, “Hello, Zhi Zhi.”
It felt like an underground meeting.
Then the general manager saw He Xingwang’s glance sweep over, his neck chilled, and he quickly walked to the desk.
Zhi Zhi stayed in the office for several hours and met many people.
At first, she was excited, but later she found it boring. She got off the sofa and walked to the desk, but being too short, she couldn’t even see above it.
She had a phone in her bag that Chi Suisui had placed there. It contained some mini-games and language practice apps.
Nowadays, children were no strangers to phones.
After running a lap around the desk, Zhi Zhi heard the ringtone and rushed back to answer the call. “Who is it? Zhi Zhi is listening.”
“It’s me,” Song Miaoli asked, “What is Zhi Bao doing?”
“Auntie, Zhi Zhi is accompanying Daddy at work,” Zhi Zhi said sweetly.
Song Miaoli had already seen the news, so she called to ask, laughing, “How does Zhi Bao feel about her first day at work?”
“Zhi Zhi thinks it’s not fun.”
“Hahaha, really?” Song Miaoli almost burst out laughing. Did Mr. He know his daughter was complaining like this?
“But Zhi Zhi still wants to accompany Daddy,” Zhi Zhi added after a while.
Song Miaoli stopped laughing. As expected, every time she chatted with Zhi Zhi or saw her, the urge to steal the child never stopped.
Zhi Zhi asked, “Is Auntie working too?”
Song Miaoli said, “Auntie is accompanying Uncle Gu at work. Does Zhi Zhi want to come over?”
Zhi Zhi remembered the handsome uncle and glanced at He Xingwang behind the desk. “Zhi Zhi won’t go today.”
Song Miaoli felt sad.
After hanging up, Gu Nanxuan calmly said, “Want to have our own?”
Song Miaoli said, “Easier said than done.”
What if they ended up with a naughty kid?
After putting down the phone, He Xingwang beckoned, “Come here.”
She quickly ran over and was effortlessly lifted by He Xingwang, sitting on his lap. “Bored?”
Zhi Zhi asked, “What is boredom?”
He Xingwang said, “It’s when it’s not fun.”
Zhi Zhi blinked. “It’s fun when Daddy holds me.”
He Xingwang understood her implication, raised his eyebrows, and let her sit on him.
However, she couldn’t understand the documents he was reading. After playing by herself for a while, she fell asleep in his arms, even snoring softly.
Daddy’s embrace was the safest place.
He Xingwang heard the snoring and looked down to see her tightly closed eyes, long lashes curled beautifully—the cutest sight in the world.
He gently placed her on the bed in the rest room.
Even with all the commotion, Zhi Zhi didn’t wake up, sleeping deeply.
________________________________________
After the weekend, Zhi Zhi’s kindergarten life resumed.
Chi Suisui didn’t transfer her to the older class. Even though Zhi Zhi was smart enough, she was still a child, slightly younger in age.
Besides, the toddler class didn’t have much of a curriculum at this stage.
Zhi Zhi didn’t stay in the older class every day. She had a few classes in the toddler class and spent the rest of the time with Liang Yan.
For this reason, the teacher specially prepared a small table for her, slightly shorter than Liang Yan’s, which suited her perfectly.
From a distance, this pair—one big, one small—looked particularly amusing.
Today, Zhi Zhi arrived in the afternoon. After naptime at school and before the bell rang for class, she saw Liang Yan watching a movie.
Mommy and Daddy also watched movies.
Zhi Zhi approached and found it was something she didn’t understand again. She pouted, “Brother Liang Yan, can we watch something Zhi Zhi understands?”
Liang Yan paused the movie. “I’m studying English.”
He knew he would go abroad to live with his parents in the future, so learning the language was essential.
Zhi Zhi asked, “What is English?”
Liang Yan said, “A language.”
Zhi Zhi didn’t fully understand, but it didn’t stop her from guessing wildly. “If I learn it, can I watch movies with you?”
Liang Yan reasoned that she was only three and probably wouldn’t learn it, which gave him a perfect excuse. He nodded, “If you learn it.”
Zhi Zhi clenched her little fists. “Everyone says Zhi Zhi learns things really fast.”
Liang Yan didn’t have the heart to discourage her and instead asked, “You always call yourself Zhi Zhi. What’s your full name?”
Zhi Zhi tugged her little ears and seriously said, “My full name is He Zhiwei, nickname Zhi Zhi, Zhi Bao.”
After thinking for a moment, she whispered, “Actually, everyone calls me Baby. Brother Liang Yan, you can call me that too.”
Liang Yan was highly skeptical. “Really?”
Zhi Zhi nodded vigorously, dragging out the last syllable for several seconds to increase credibility.
As soon as she finished speaking, the classroom door opened, and the teacher walked in, asking, “Is Zhi Zhi here?”
The lie was mercilessly exposed.
