Chapter 99
When Sweetie reached three weeks old, Su Orange’s career was at its peak, she was very busy in those days, with endless meetings and errands every day.
When Zhou Guiqin called her in the morning, she was still in Beijing and North China, when she called her in the afternoon, she had already gone to C City, and when she called again, she was already in K City, she had almost become a trapeze artist, always going to different cities to talk about projects.
Zhou Yuchen saw her so hard, took the initiative to take on the task of taking care of Sweetie, told her on the phone, she just do her job, he will take Sweetie well.
Su Orange was touched, “Thank you husband.”
That “husband” caused the man’s whole body to become hot, he suppressed his voice and said, “When you come back, I’ll ask for a proper thank you gift.”
Su Orange didn’t have much time to chat with him, and ended the call after saying a few words.
The next day is Wednesday, sweet was supposed to go to school, when she woke up early, she found some fever, Zhou Yuchen took her to the hospital, the doctor advised her to rest for a day, Zhou Yuchen had a few meetings to hold today, after thinking about it and after sweet’s consent, he brought her to the company.
Speaking of which, this is still the first time sweet to go to the company, she carries her pink small schoolbag, holding a drawing book appeared in front of the crowd.
A lot of people were looking around Sweetie, asking her if she was thirsty? Is she hungry? Is she hot?
Is there anything you want to play?
They could accompany her.
Sweetie was full of vigor even when she was sick, and said in a milky voice, “Thank you, Auntie, I’m not thirsty or hungry, I want to draw.”
The female employee took Sweetie to the rest room, where it was quiet and Sweetie could do whatever she wanted.
“Where’s Daddy?” Sweetie asked.
“Mr. Zhou is in a meeting.” The female employee said, “I’ll bring you there after the meeting.”
Sweetness is a big girl, but does not have to pester her father, she shook her head, “It’s okay, I can do it myself.”
The female employee smiled and complimented, “Sweetie, you’re great.”
Sweets also politely returned, “Auntie, you’re so pretty.”
Sweetie was left alone in the break room, she took out her sketchbook and drew carefully, first drawing her mom, then her dad, and finally drawing herself in between the two of them.
The little person was adorable.
Sweet nodded with satisfaction, took the drawing book and walked out, in the president’s office Zhou Yuchen was still talking to someone, Sweet looked in through the glass window, saw her dad saying something with a serious face, stopped her forward steps, she turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
The adults were working with their heads down, exchanging words about something from time to time, no one noticed her walking by.
Sweetie came to the company for the first time, she was very curious about the place, looking left and right, and later went to the pantry, there were a lot of food in the cabinet, Sweetie took some cookies for herself and ate them.
She ate the chocolate flavored one, and after eating it, the corners of her mouth were covered with chocolate.
She stood on her tiptoes to reach the tissue paper on the cabinet, and several times she couldn’t reach it, and tried again, and still couldn’t reach it, and just as Sweetie was about to give up, someone handed her the tissue paper.
“Little friend, here.”
Sweets turned around to look, it was a beautifully dressed woman, she didn’t take it immediately, but stared at the woman for a while.
“Don’t want it?” The long-haired woman asked again.
Sweets nodded and said, “Thank you auntie.”
The long-haired woman smiled and gave her the tissue, followed by another voice, also a woman’s, “Whose family is this child? Is Gali Corporation so undisciplined in their work? How is it that employees are still allowed to bring their children during work hours.”
“You said you came to talk about cooperation, what do you care if the company is strict or not.”
“You can’t say that. I’m doing this for your own good.” The man said, “Don’t you like Mr. Zhou.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” The long-haired woman cautiously said, “This is Gali.”
“What are you afraid of, it’s not like anyone heard.” The short-haired woman laughed lightly, “This is a good opportunity today, at noon you ask Mr. Zhou to go out for dinner, and the things behind you will surely fall into place.”
Sweetie flashed her big eyes and said, “Two pretty aunts, what do you mean by “water to water”?”
Sweet looks sweet, like a doll, immediately gained the woman’s favor, the woman patiently said; “is a thing that happens naturally.”
Sweets gave an oh-so-sweet sound, “Is pretty auntie trying to get water under the bridge with the owner of this company?”
The little child’s innocent words caused both women to pause at the same time, the long-haired woman gave the short-haired woman a warning look, as if to say, I’ll let you talk nonsense, it’s all overheard by the little child.
The short-haired woman touched the tip of her nose and said with an embarrassed look, “Little child don’t talk nonsense, there is no such thing.”
“But just now aunty you are so speak ah, you said at noon to ask Mr. Zhou to eat, the latter things can be watered down.”
Short-haired woman: “……”
Long-haired woman: “……”
Someone just happened to pass by outside and called out, “Sweet, why are you here? Mr. Zhou is looking for you.”
Sweets turned into that well-behaved and obedient look again, whispering, “Auntie, my feet are numb, can you let my dad come pick me up.”
“Then wait for me to get Mr. Zhou to come.” The female employee nodded at the woman before turning to leave.
The long-haired woman and the short-haired woman were still in a state of shock, and the short-haired woman muttered in a low voice, “What kind of relationship does this little girl have with Mr. Zhou? Is it possible that she is a relative of Mr. Zhou’s family?”
Zhou Yuchen happened to come, Sweetie pushed open the door and called out, “Dad.”
She jumped onto Zhou Yuchen’s lap and pointed at the two women behind her, “Daddy, who are they?”
Zhou Yuchen picked up Sweetness, “They’re here to talk to Daddy about cooperation.”
“Does daddy like them?” Sweetie twinkled her innocent eyes and trailed off, “Do you?”
Zhou Yuchen coughed awkwardly and said, “Sorry.” Gesturing for his assistant to take the person to his office, he then answered Sweetie’s question.
“They’re just business partners, dad wouldn’t like business partners.”
“Then who does Daddy like?”
“Like Sugar and Mommy.”
“And what if that pretty sister likes Daddy too? Would Daddy like them?”
“No, Daddy only likes Sugar and Mommy.”
“Master Tai said that men’s words can’t be trusted, can dad’s words be trusted?” The Great Master was referring to Zhou Yuchen’s grandfather.
On weekends, Sweetness would go to the suburban villa to accompany the old man.
“Cough cough.” Zhou Yuchen coughed twice more, “Dad isn’t the kind of person Master Tai said, Dad’s words can be trusted.”
“Alright then, I’ll ask daddy one more time.” Sweetness was carried to the president’s office by Zhou Yuchen, the door closed, she got down from Zhou Yuchen’s arms, tilted her head up high, crossed her arms and said, “If mommy fell into the water with another woman, who would daddy save?”
“Of course save mommy.” Zhou Yuchen rubbed her head back.
“Then if mommy gets old in the future, will daddy still like mommy?” Sweetie asked with a strained neck, “Daddy won’t like a prettier and younger auntie, right?”
Zhou Yuchen didn’t know what was going on in Sweetie’s little head, but still answered seriously, “No, will always like mommy, always like mommy.”
“Pull the hook.” Sweetie stretched out her soft fingers, “Pull the hook before counting.”
Zhou Yuchen bent his knees and squatted in front of Sweetie, stretching out his hand, “Okay, pull the hook.”
The two stayed in the office for a few minutes, the assistant came to call Zhou Yuchen, and Sweetie tugged at the hem of his shirt, “Daddy is not allowed to smile at strange aunts.”
“Why?” Zhou Yuchen asked in disbelief.
“Because Daddy looks too good when he smiles.” Sweetie winks.
Zhou Yuchen was floored by Sweetie’s compliment and kissed her on her little cheeks, “Where does Sweetie want to go this afternoon, Daddy will accompany you.”
“Want to watch a movie, want to eat McDonald’s.” Sweets asked, “Daddy can accompany me?”
“Sweetie has a fever, she can’t eat McDonald’s.” Zhou Yuchen pinched her cheek, “Change it.”
Sweetie pouted, “I’m sick, can’t you promise me for once, if it was Master Tai, you would have promised me.”
Zhou Yuchen this daughter control, the most afraid of sweet sweet pouting, cut down the tip of her nose, “Good, listen to you.”
In the afternoon, sweet nap woke up, Zhou Yuchen took her to the movies, bought a drink to drink popcorn, the movie is watching the bear, sweet has been laughing.
Zhou Yuchen saw her smile, also followed the hooked lips smile.
Su Orange knew about Sweetie’s illness and sent a message to Zhou Yuchen, asking him, how is Sweetie, is she better?
ZYC: [Much better.]
ZYC: [Don’t let her mess with her food.]
Zhou Yuchen looks at the popcorn in his arms, his throat rolls, and replies:[Good.]
Orange: [She’s too naughty, if you’re not comfortable bringing her, send her to my mom’s place.]
ZYC: [No, I’ll take her.]
Orange: [Hubby, I’ve worked hard for you. I’ll make it up to you when I get back.]
ZYC: [Okay, I’ll wait for you.]
ZYC: [How’s the cooperation negotiation going?]
Orange: [It’s going well, we can sign the contract in these two days.]
Su Orange’s career is on the rise, and all the recently negotiated collaborations have been successful, [thanks to your support].
ZYC: [So, remember to thank me properly in the future.]
This “thank you” of his makes people think.
Sweetie looks at Zhou Yuchen playing with his cell phone and reminds him in a low voice, “Dad, this is not polite.”
Zhou Yuchen smiles and puts his cell phone away, “Okay, no more playing.”
Sweetie sticks out her thumb at Zhou Yuchen, “Dad, awesome.”
This is how teachers praise children in school.
Zhou Yuchen poked Sweetie’s pink cheeks, “Alright, watch.”
The two in the back kept staring at the big screen until it ended Sweetie stopped laughing.
“Was it that good?” Zhou Yuchen asked.
“Well,” Sweetie nodded, “Daddy, I think Bear 2 and Rui Rui look alike.”
Zhou Yuchen held Sweetie’s hand and walked outside, “Where is the resemblance?”
“The way they smile,” Sweetie returned, “They’re both silly.”
Zhou Yuchen reminded Sweetie, “Don’t let your godfather hear this, or he’ll get angry.”
“Why?”
“Because everyone says that Rui Rui looks like your godfather, and if you say Rui Rui looks like Bear 2, that means your godfather looks like Bear 2.”
Sweets was too smart to be confused and nodded, “This is a secret between Sweets and Daddy, we won’t tell anyone.”
“Good, this is Sweetie and Daddy’s secret.” Zhou Yuchen carried Sweetie into the car, probing his body and asked, “Besides Sweetie having a secret with Daddy, who else does she have one with?”
Sweetie tilted her head and thought, “With Master Tai.”
“Oh? What secrets do you have with Master Tai?” Zhou Yuchen also sat in the car, then raised his eyebrows to signal the driver to drive.
“Last weekend, Master Tai stole honey.” Sweets said, “Master Tai asked me not to tell Dad.”
“And?”
“Sugar also has a secret with her godfather.”
“What secrets?”
“Godfather said bad things about Daddy,” Sugar thought for a moment, “Oh, that Daddy was too mean, and Godfather wanted me not to tell Daddy.”
“And?”
“Sugar also has a secret with Rui Rui.”
“Hmm? What secret?”
Sugar hooked her finger, “Rui Rui wet the bed last Friday and he asked me to keep it a secret and not tell anyone.”
