Qin Xiaoran and Mang Guo discussed briefly before they agreed to call it porridge.
"Daddy, did you not get used to sleeping yesterday?" Mang Guo bit her crab and frowned.
"No, I slept very well."
"Really?" But every time I sleep there I feel so tired, or the bed at home is soft, does Mommy think so? "
"Yes." Qin Xiaoran cut to the chase.
She knew what her daughter was thinking in her heart, and she always tried to find a variety of topics to talk about in order to increase their interaction. Furthermore, she dared to be sure that the CEO would stay here for the night, and most of the credit would go to her daughter.
"Daddy, we're going to have our monthly test soon. I'm so nervous!" Mang Guo ignored Qin Xiaoran and focused on her father.
What's there to be nervous about? He had clearly heard from Xiao Budian that his grades were very good.
"Our teacher said that the top scorer for this Monthly Test will represent the school in participating in the city's primary school writing competition, but I grew up in the United States. "So I get it wrong. The teacher said to only teach me one every month, and I feel like I'm going to participate in a competition, but he's afraid he won't get first place."
"Don't be afraid, Daddy will invite a teacher to teach you."
"I don't want a home tutor. I heard that the home tutor is very fierce. Some home tutors would even have such a cute child like me, wuwuwu … "
"At that time, who was the one who said that there was no problem with it and told me not to waste money to hire a home tutor? And you really want to go to the city to participate in the tournament alone? " Qin Xiaoran could not bear to see her daughter take an inch, so she interrupted her.
After's cold voice had cut off her lies, Mang Guo was provoked. She only wanted her father to spend more time on her and Mommy to make up an excuse using her studies. Furthermore, when the time came, she could tell her teacher that she couldn't go to the tournament due to the stomachache. Who said she had to?
"If you don't want a home tutor, I can teach you." Su Lengyun's tone was so calm that it seemed as if she had not heard Qin Xiaoran's words.
"Long live Daddy!" Mang Guo's face bloomed into a smile, and he pounced towards Su Lengyun, his greasy lips puckering up against his face.
"Qin Mang Guo, can you clean yourself?" That greasy little mouth of hers wasn't something anyone could accept.
Su Lengyun, who had always been a germaphobe, was slightly startled when he saw this kind of situation.
"Daddy, I'm so happy. Being able to love my dad and Mommy so much makes me feel like I'm the happiest child …"
Mang Guo happily embraced Su Lengyun's waist, put her face close to's chest and jumped in joy.
Seeing this scene, Qin Xiaoran felt an illusion. It was as if they weren't father and daughter whom he had just met a few days ago, but rather father and daughter who had been together for these seven years and felt very good. This feeling was too strange, so strange that she felt like they were a real family of three.
She had thought of having her daughter recognize him, but she was afraid of making things difficult for herself.
After all, her worries were not superfluous. Their relationship had crystallized not because of deep affection or romantic reasons, but rather, it was the most vulgar one-night stand. Under such circumstances, how could she have the confidence that he would like his child?
Grabbing a tissue and gently wiping his daughter's mouth, a warm feeling flowed through Su Lengyun's heart through her small hands.
At this time, if he wanted to hurry up, couldn't he just wait patiently?
He needed the courage he always had, he thought.
After dinner, Mang Guo was called over to play with the children in the ward.
Qin Xiaoran was about to lie down and rest when she suddenly heard Su Lengyun's voice. "Let's get married."
The sound of his voice startled her. Her hands trembled on the bed and she almost fell off.
"You … We've already talked about it, and I don't think there's a need to go on with it. " Her face grew hot because he was so close to her at some point. His tall figure was no longer looking down on her from above, but sitting next to her. His slender and beautiful fingers caressed her hand, holding her palm.
Inhaling deeply, this was not right. They had no relationship at all, so she resolutely withdrew her hand.
Looking at her downcast face, he didn't know what expression she had on it, but he could tell she wasn't interested in it much, but this time he had thought it through and said it, he wasn't such an irresponsible person, and he wanted to be responsible, wanted to have a chance to be nice to them both.
He softened his tone. "Is there really no need? Single parent families have a great impact on the child, causing the child to lack half of family love. Growing up in such an environment is a bad effect on the child's development. "
"I don't feel like Little Mang Guo has not developed much at all. She's healthier and more lively than anyone of the same age."
Hence, right now he was simply searching for a reason or two to convince her. "After you leave the hospital, you have to go to work at the crew, and Little Mang Guo won't be able to play with her mother for five days every week. If nothing unexpected happens, she will even have to work overtime.
"I earned money from work so I could give her a better life. The rest of the time, I will give her enough love …"
"Without a father, only a mother's family, how could there be enough love?"
He was a top student and the CEO of a group of tens of thousands of people. He had a great eloquence, how could she be his match? If they continued fighting like this, she was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to maintain her confidence and would soon be defeated.
When the thought popped into his mind, Qin Xiaoran immediately tensed up. He raised his head, frowned, and looked at him seriously.
"Do you really think that's the case? In the past six years, from the time Little Mang Guo had stopped drinking to when she had learned how to walk, when had she ever had a father by her side? "Does that mean her family is incomplete?" "I don't think there's any difference between having a father and not having one. His father is the boss of tens of thousands of people, and he probably doesn't have enough time to work twenty-four hours a day. Where would he have time to care about anything else?"
"You think I can't win against my father?" He thought his job and his identity would be the source of their pride.
Qin Xiaoran turned her face away, and said calmly: "I didn't say that, I am only narrating the truth."
"Your problem isn't that big of a problem. You don't like the fact that I spend too much time at work. I can cut off half of it and spend it with you and the kids. Is that OK?" Only the heavens knew that he had already lowered himself and his status. He had never been so condescending in his life, and he was even facing a woman that had no power of attack.
"It's your business how much time you like to spend at work. I have no right to interfere, and it has nothing to do with children."
"How do you know it's nothing to do with children? She may have longed for a father. "
"So I'm in favor of you coming to see the kids and going out with them every weekend. It's enough. " She turned her face to look at him quietly. "Even if the child likes to be with you, it only represents the child's point of view. We're adults, and we know what marriage is all about. If it's just for the child, then we'll have another woman giving birth to your child. It has nothing to do with whether we're married or not."
It was rare for her to speak to the Unfaithful Man in such a reasonable and reasonable manner. One must know that a month ago, even if she was beaten to death, she would not have believed that she could calmly sit and chat with him. It was rare that he did not have a dark face, it was rare that she did not reject him.
"It does matter. I want to give the child a complete family." His tone was firm, as if there was no room for negotiation.
She didn't understand what he meant now. Even if he really did have overflowing fatherly love and wanted to make up for his child at all times, why would he marry? How long can a loveless marriage last? At that time, the child would be the one to be hurt.
Qin Xiaoran did not say anything, he was a smart guy, but he would not make any mistakes at the moment, when he thought it through, he would not be so stubborn, and at that time, what she needed to do was to ignore him, so as to not anger him, and make things difficult for him.
Putting her hands on the bed, she tried to move her body back a little, keeping her distance from him.
"If you insist on refusing to marry, we need to talk about the custody of the child."
Mang Guo's custody rights? She stared blankly for a moment, and when she recovered, she glared at him furiously.
"What do you mean? Su Lengyun, what did you promise me before? You said that you wouldn't fight with me for the right to care for a child, and now you want to go back on your word? What have you done for your children these past six years? When I was ten months pregnant, I vomited until I was as thin as a paper man. The doctor said that I was too young to eat and the children wouldn't get any nourishment, so no matter how much I vomited, I forced myself to eat the fat soup! "
When the child first learns to walk, she will stumble and fall, and every time, she will be badly beaten. I am busy looking for a job to make money for her, but at this time, have you ever encouraged her by hugging her or consoling her once? My family is not rich, so I cannot afford to hire a babysitter in the United States.
"When she was five years old, she didn't have an American hukou, so she couldn't even afford to go to a good school there. Where were you now? "I was so annoyed that my hair almost fell out. My own daughter, I didn't have a good life, but she couldn't do it, so I returned home. On the first day of returning home, I registered with her, and she cried and refused to go to school. I also wanted to accompany her, so who would go to work to earn money to support her?"
"Have you come out and shared a little at this time? Have you ever found out that your daughter needs a father? "
She … So there had always been so many grievances?
Su Lengyun looked at her and knitted his eyebrows angrily. His two black eyes were covered by a layer of mist and his originally pale face had now turned pink due to his anger, which made him look young and tender. He had never liked overbearing women and thought that a real girl should be magnanimous and gentle.
But to his surprise, he didn't seem to dislike her that much.
