Chen Hai's eyes instantly reddened. He hugged Qiaoqiao heartbrokenly, "Dad will always be your dad, that will never change, understand? Dad could never abandon Qiaoqiao. Whatever you want, Dad is willing to give it to you."
"Okay~"
Ye Shuang watched from the side, momentarily at a loss for words.
When parents argue, the most innocent child gets hurt.
Chen Hai was actually a total doting father. Hearing this, his tough-guy facade completely crumbled.
At that moment, An Shiyu, who was nearby, spoke up, "Seems like being a scumbag isn't so easy either."
"Shh." Ye Shuang immediately covered An Shiyu's mouth.
Chen Hai roughly wiped his eyes, then asked softly, "Qiaoqiao, will you come home with Dad tonight? Your grandparents miss you so much."
"Really?" Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up.
"Mhm, Dad will make you lots of delicious food. You can eat whatever you want. How about we fill your room with all kinds of snacks?"
"Okay!" Qiaoqiao nodded her little head repeatedly, even drooling a bit with anticipation.
But soon, as if remembering something, she immediately shook her head, "No."
"Why?"
"What about Mommy?" Qiaoqiao counted on her fingers, "Dad, you have Auntie, Grandpa, and Grandma with you. But Mommy only has me. If I leave, Mommy will be all alone. No, no."
Chen Hai fell silent.
"Qiaoqiao, how about Uncle helps your dad talk Mommy into coming back?" Just then, Ye Shuang suddenly said with a smile.
"Okay!" Qiaoqiao's eyes sparkled again.
"Ah Ye, what are you planning?" Chen Hai was taken aback, seemingly not understanding Ye Shuang's intention.
Ye Shuang said slowly, "You don't want Qiaoqiao to go hungry either, right? It's better to persuade your wife to return to the estate."
"Or do you really plan to marry Zhou Min?"
"I... that's not what I meant." Chen Hai sighed. "I've actually come to realize something. My wife might be fierce sometimes, but she has cared for me too."
"Running away forever isn't the solution. No matter what, it's better to sit down and talk. I'll have Chen Qin come over tonight too," Ye Shuang said, as it happened Chen Qin had told him she was free in the afternoon.
Chen Hai didn't say anything. He looked at his daughter beside him and tacitly agreed.
All for his daughter's sake.
"Qiaoqiao, how about you come to Uncle's office later? Your dad still has to work, you can't stay by his side," Ye Shuang asked Qiaoqiao with a smile.
"Then I can't stay by your side either, right? You have to work too," Chen Qiaoqiao said sensibly.
"It's okay, I can sit on the front steps. There are lots of steps there to sit on."
"Sitting on steps will make a child stop growing tall and give them pimples on their bottom," An Shiyu chimed in from the side, her tone deadpan.
"Huh? Then, then I won't sit."
An Shiyu looked very much like a mischievous adult teasing a child.
And so, as the lunch break ended, Ye Shuang took the little girl back to his office.
Along the way, many people glanced over curiously.
This girl...
Is she President Ye's daughter?
"Assistant An, is this girl President Ye's daughter?" A colleague who had chatted with An Shiyu before asked quietly.
Hearing this, An Shiyu put on a blank-eyed expression and said, "Yes, we have a child together."
Colleague: Huh? ↗
"Just kidding. She's his friend's daughter."
"Oh oh oh, you scared me. I thought he really just casually... you know... with his secretary," the colleague said, then realized she had spoken out of turn and scurried away sheepishly.
Meanwhile, Ye Shuang had brought Qiaoqiao back to the office and settled her in.
"Kou Kou, this is my friend's daughter..." Ye Shuang also explained to Kou Kou, "Could you keep an eye on her for a bit?"
"Of course, President Ye."
"It's okay, Uncle Ye, I'll just do my homework here," Chen Qiaoqiao said. She had brought her backpack. After sitting on the sofa, she took out her homework from her bag.
Such a sensible child.
"Qiaoqiao, would you like something to eat?" Ye Shuang asked.
"Really? I want chocolate!"
"Chocolate..." Ye Shuang thought for a moment, remembering there were quite a few snacks in the employee break area, and asked Kou Kou, "Is there any chocolate in the break area?"
"I don't think so. It's mostly snacks like potato chips, spicy strips, and various drinks," Kou Kou replied. She was a regular at the snack area herself and knew what was available quite well.
"Is that so." Ye Shuang then turned his gaze to An Shiyu beside him. "Do you have any snacks?"
"Uncle, how can you ask a girl for snacks?" An Shiyu said with some disdain, "Especially such a cute girl."
"So, do you have any or not?"
"Nope, that stuff is too sweet."
"President Ye, we could order delivery," Kou Kou suggested at that moment.
"That's true... Then could you order some snacks for Qiaoqiao?" Ye Shuang smiled.
"Oh, okay, sure." Kou Kou nodded, though in her mind she was wondering if this could be expensed.
After all, she was just an employee; save where you can, spend where you must.
But it felt awkward to ask, it was just some chocolate.
The next second, Kou Kou's phone chimed. She looked and saw a transfer from Ye Shuang—
Transfer: 500
"Oh, President Ye, this is..."
"For Qiaoqiao's chocolate. Try to get some good quality ones, and buy some other kinds for her to snack on while she does her homework."
"Okay, okay, on it right away," Kou Kou said with a smile.
It's so nice to have a boss like this.
"Uncle Ye, I actually have money too," Qiaoqiao said.
"How could we spend Qiaoqiao's money? You keep yours to buy things for yourself," Ye Shuang said.
"Alright, thank you, Uncle Ye."
After a while, Kou Kou went downstairs to get the delivery. Since you needed a card to enter the building, you had to pick up deliveries from the first floor.
"Wow, so much food! Thank you, big sister."
"No need to thank me, President Ye arranged it."
Seeing Qiaoqiao munching away while doing her homework, Ye Shuang got up and went a little further away to return Chen Qin's call, as she had already replied to his message.
Seems she was on break now.
"Hey, Ah Ye?" Chen Qin's voice came through the phone.
Ye Shuang briefly explained the situation with Qiaoqiao and mentioned going together that evening to see Chen Hai's wife.
"Sure, no problem." Chen Qin happened to be on her way back to the company. Going with Ye Shuang later to handle this matter was perfectly fine—although she didn't want to deal with Chen Hai's mess, she was very concerned about Qiaoqiao's situation.
Even though Chen Hai's wife had a fiery temper, to be honest, Chen Qin's relationship with her was actually quite okay, with no real conflicts. As for that Zhou Min, Chen Qin found her disagreeable in every way.
Out of female intuition, Chen Qin had always felt Zhou Min's motives weren't pure, especially regarding her getting Chen Hai into the group.
However, she had looked into Zhou Min's background before and hadn't found anything particularly odd.
