  Upon hearing Jiang Zhi Zhou's words, Xia Wei's face flushed. "Isn't it kind of you to say that right after I said I'll be ignoring you for 72 hours?"

  Jiang Zhi Zhou: "..."

  "Well then, goodbye." Xia Wei resolutely closed the video call and exhaled.

  She felt rather warm.

  "Woof woof!" Sunshine pranced in circles around her, while Tangerine meowed loudly.

  Xia Wei: "..."

  There were already two sons in the family! As for daughters... we'll discuss them later.

  While having dinner with Jiang Man Man, Jiang Zhi Zhou sent a few videos to Xia Wei, trying to figure out if the other side really was going to ignore him.

  The other side really did ignore him.

  Jiang Zhi Zhou: "..."

  That evening, Jiang Man Man stayed with Jiang Zhi Zhou, playing until she passed out. Jiang Zhi Zhou picked her up gently and took her back to Jiang Cheng Yue's room.

  Just about the time he was looking for his cousin, Jiang Cheng Yue returned to the hotel. Jiang Zhi Zhou walked over with Jiang Man Man and told him: "Man Man stayed with me tonight, and is asleep now."

  Jiang Cheng Yue nodded and took Jiang Man Man into his arms. "Thank you for taking care of her."

  Jiang Zhi Zhou said: "I know that you're very busy at work and that I'm butting in here, but Man Man is your daughter. You should spend more time with her."

  It wasn't the first time Jiang Cheng Yue had heard this. He did want to spend more time with Man Man, but he merely replied helplessly, "You know how the current situation of the Jiang family is. I'm also hoping to give Man Man better living conditions. "

  "She's already living better than many of her peers, but she still isn't as happy as they are. Are you sure you really know what she needs?"

  Jiang Cheng Yue frowned, but didn't say anything. He knew that Man Man wanted him to spend more time with her, but if he didn't fight for his ambitions, he would become the stepping stone for another. And when that happened, he would no longer have a place in the Jiang family.

  "Today, Man Man told me that all the other kids in kindergarten had moms and dads, except herself."

  Jiang Cheng Yue felt an ache in his heart. No one loved his own daughter more than he. She had once had a mother to accompany her, but now...

  "I've bothered you today." Holding his daughter, Jiang Cheng Yue entered his own room and closed the door.

  A few days later, Jiang Man Man rushed to find Jiang Zhi Zhou, her entire face lit up. "Uncle, Uncle, Daddy said that he would take me to the amusement park tomorrow!"

  Jiang Zhi Zhou was quite surprised. How did his eldest cousin suddenly get his priorities straight?

  Jiang Man Man was tugging onto his hand. "Having Uncle educate Daddy really worked!"

  Jiang Zhi Zhou couldn't help but laugh. He scratched Jiang Man Man's hair and asked, "Daddy is going out to play with Man Man. Is Man Man happy?"

  "Man Man told Daddy that she would ask uncle to come play together!"

  "Do I need to go too?"

  "Mm!"

  As the two were chatting, Jiang Cheng Yue walked over. He nodded to Jiang Zhi Zhou and said, "You should come along. Thank you for having looked after Man Man this whole time."
