Chapter 197: My Daddy Is Amazing
“...” Mu Chen didn’t reply but asked, “What’s wrong?”
If she was a little more sensitive, she would’ve noticed the change in attitude through his words.
But the little thing wasn’t the sensitive type.
She swayed her head and couldn’t help but to say, “Sangsang didn’t do any bad things.”
“...” Mu Chen looked at the brat’s timid eyes with questions written all over his face and raised an eyebrow in amusement.
When did he say that she did something bad?
“Why are you saying that?” He pinched her meaty cheeks and laughed lightly.
His gentle voice made the little thing feel even worse.
Mommy said that if something’s unusual, there must be something strange about it.
Perhaps her cheap daddy was secretly thinking of how to give her a complete childhood.
The little thing’s strand of hair shot up from her assumption.
She blinked slightly and her milky little voice trembled while mumbling, “You can tell me if I did something wrong.
Sangsang will fix it!”
The little thing straightened her back out of reflecting.
Shen Chuchen: “....”
Look what these two dogs’ education made her.
Mu Chen: “....” He finally understood what she meant.
If he translated this child’s words, it would be, if I did something wrong, you can tell me and I’ll change it.
Mu Chen fell silent.
Perhaps it was because he was too much of a dog before and traumatized her.
The man stretched out a long and cold finger to turn her face around as he reminded, “I’m your dad.”
The little thing nodded subconsciously.
Mhm mhm.
She knew that from the very beginning.
But she didn’t have any proof.
“You can call me dad.” He reminded her again.
Ye Sang: “Uncle.”
Mu Chen’s face turned dark, “I’m your dad.”
The little thing pouted, “How can you curse at me?”
Mu Chen: “...”
Table flip!!
Can’t they have a normal conversation?
Shen Chuchen intervened gloomily from the side, “Well, you made her call you uncle for so many days, she probably won’t be able to change it for a while.”
You just have to deal with the disaster that you made yourself.
Mu Chen: “...” He finally understood what “what goes around comes around” meant.
The little thing swayed her head and looked at the place not far from them curiously.
Shen Chuchen patted her little head and smiled, “Go play with them if you want.”
Children were forgetful as she already threw the unhappiness from a while ago away and skipped over to play with other children.
“Woah!”
“So pretty.”
Children’s exclaims followed one another.
Ye Sang followed everyone and it was funny to watch the strand of hair on her hair move with her.
The children crowded a young man.
The little next to him was probably his daughter.
The little girl cheered for her dad with glistening eyes, “Daddy is amazing!”
The little thing nudged over curiously.
The man flexibly played with a flower string[1], and it looked rather interesting when he made all sorts of shapes.
[1] a game played with a long string’s ends tied together, putting it on the hand and making different shapes with it, and it can be played with multiple people
All the children who haven’t seen this before widened their mouths in curiosity.
Ye Sang hasn’t seen it before either.
She glanced at the string with her quick-witted eyes and she was full of puzzlement and curiosity.
“What’s your name?” The little girl saw that she was pretty and stretched out a hand.
The little thing puffed her cheeks, “Ye Sang.”
“I’m Tingting.” The little girl replied.
Children’s friendships were always so sudden. Tingting pointed at the man who successfully joined the children’s group and introduced happily, “My daddy is amazing, isn’t he!”
Ye Sang nodded obediently.
Another boy also grinned, “My dad is a teacher, he’s amazing at math.”
“My mommy knows how to dance.”
The other children also started to boast about their parents.
Tingting saw that Ye Sang didn’t speak, so she asked her curiously with the idea of taking care of her new friend in mind, “Sangsang, what can your daddy and mommy do?”
The little thing stared blankly at the question.
She blinked and glanced at her two fathers who were talking to each other from the corner of her eye and pursed her lips together, “My daddies know how to... how to...”
The little thing opened her cat eyes, “They know how to kill people and burn them.”
Tingting: “...” What kind of skill is that?
“What about your mommy?” She continued to ask.
The little thing swayed her head and replied crisply, “My mommy knows how to convince people with virtue.”
“...” Her words made all the children confused.
The adult snapped back and couldn’t help but to smile at the children. He rubbed Tingting’s head and said: “We should go home. It’s quite late now, all of you children should go back too.”
Tingting was unwilling to leave Ye Sang. She pondered for a while and asked for her dad’s string as she generously passed it to the little thing, “I’ll gift you this.”
She waved her little hand, “I hope you see you again, Sangsang.”
The little thing also waved her hands. She watched them leave and jogged back slowly with her little legs.
Ye Sang held the string in her hand and skipped over. She passed it to Shen Chuchen and looked at the slightly drunk daddy.
“Daddy daddy! Play!”
She hinted.
But Shen Chuchen couldn’t understand her at all.
The man pressed the strand of hair down on her head and pushed her into Mu Chen’s arms while he was ready to turn around and sleep.
Ye Sang: “...”
Her heart hurts too much and she felt like she won’t feel love again.
“Play, play it.” She rushed him.
Shen Chuchen opened his eyes and took the string over. He met with the little thing’s eager face and stared blankly.
He hasn’t seen this before.
What’s so fun about a string?
Shen Chuchen didn’t know how to play with it.
Mu Chen saw it and raised an eyebrow. He smiled lightly and brazenly called out, “Little Sangsang.”
His gentle voice made the little thing straighten her back out of reflex.
Mu Chen: “...”
Was he that scary?
The man forced himself to stay in character and squeezed a gentle smile, “How about daddy teach you how to play this?”
Ye Sang slowly moved over and gave the string to him after a moment of hesitation.
Mu Chen glanced at her lightly and smiled.
He played it before.
But he just didn’t think that he would play this one day to earn his daughter’s favor.
Despite he was thinking about this, he wasn’t slow with his hands as he turned the strings into multiple shapes.
The little thing’s eyes lit up. She leaned in and wanted to watch it closely.
Her soft little body was pressing on Mu Chen’s thighs and the man’s lips curved up unnoticeably.
He felt a sense of satisfaction that he never felt before under her admiring and eager eyes.
Chapter 198: Don’t Hit Sangsang
The little girl was fascinated with it and her pretty cat eyes were full of expectations and joy.
“Daddy is amazing!”
Her compliments made Mu Chen smile even more.
He rubbed the little thing’s hand and glanced at Shen Chuchen, who had already fallen asleep.
Because Shen Chuchen helped him out of the situation, he wasn’t so immoral that he left him there alone.
Special Assistant Liu threw Shen Chuchen to the back seat and he went to drive at the front.
Being a special assistant nowadays required one to be versatile.
He had to learn how to cook and work and also fight against perverts.
...
Ye Sang didn’t feel sleepy anymore after sleeping for a while. She stared at the uncle who was driving and asked, “Uncle.”
“What’s wrong with daddy?”
Special Assistant Liu asked, “Which one are you talking about?”
Sorry.
But she has too many and he didn’t know which one she wanted to know about.
Ye Sang replied milkily, “Daddy Shen.”
Special Assistant Liu suddenly realized it and secretly lit a candle for his boss.
Luckily their miss remembered him.
It would be more heart-piercing if she was asking about another dad.
“Nothing, nothing, he’s just drunk. My boss can’t drink a lot.” He laughed and comforted the little thing.
Ye Sang leaned over slowly and poked the man who was drunk.
Shen Chuchen subconsciously pinned her wrist down but he seemed to remember something as he loosened his grasp midway and sobered up from terror.
“Ye Sangsang...” The man stretched out a finger and poked her soft face. He scooped her into his arms and rested his chin on her head, “Stay still.”
The little thing puffed her cheeks, “Fine.”
Two daddies sat next to Ye Sang and the little girl’s mood became happier. She swayed her short legs and started humming a healing nursery rhyme, “Little white rabbit!”
Shen Chuchen closed his eyes and fell asleep again under the little thing’s song.
Seeing that her daddy fell asleep, the little thing patted her hands with a sense of satisfaction and delight.
“Sangsang is amazing.”
She happily complimented herself.
Mu Chen couldn’t help but smile.
She was so narcissistic.
Who taught her that?
She probably inherited it from Su Ye.
When they were talking, Shen Chuchen was drunk and treated him like his brother. Under Special Assistant Liu’s bitter and hateful glance, the man grinned and told Mu Chen everything he knew.
He spilled everything.
Mu Chen even thought that if he asked the drunk Shen Chuchen where he hid his money or what the password to his bank card was, he would tell him without hesitation.
Well, he shouldn’t try to talk reasonably with a drunk person anyway.
“He got drunk from a beer? What a genius.” Mu Chen laughed at how lightweight he was.
The little thing swayed her short legs and glanced all around her as she fidgeted.
Mu Chen couldn’t tolerate it and pinned her in his arms whilst looking down with his beautiful eyes, “Aren’t you going to sleep?”
“I don’t want to.” Ye Sang shook her head and even the strand of hair was refusing the idea.
But, Mu Chen pressed her head down expressionlessly, “No, you want to.”
I don’t need you to think so.
I want what I think.
Ye Sang: “...”
She humphed twice and laid still in his arms like a lazy koala.
*
After they got out of the car, Mu Chen felt quite nice to have a daughter as a pillow in his arms.
Shen Chuchen also followed them out while still drunk. He yawned lazily and as a textbook-level villain, he walked with a hand in his pocket as if he was walking on the wind.
Now that he’s drunk, he looked like he was floating.
The little thing followed behind Shen Chuchen in her trembling short legs because she was scared that her daddy would trip and fall down.
His reputation would definitely be ruined then.
Mu Chen’s eyelids also twitched at the scene.
But unlike Ye Sang, he was worried that the man was too drunk to walk properly and he would fall on top of that brat.
Under everyone’s worried eyes, Shen Chuchen waved his hand and refused to let Special Assistant support him.
What a joke.
Does he, Proud Shen, need to be helped?
The moment Shen Chuchen wobbled into the mansion, everybody sighed in relief in unison.
“Daddy!” The little girl flew into Huo Yao’s arms and stared anxiously at Shen Chuchen’s direction in puzzlement.
The little thing’s five-year-old intelligence wasn’t enough to comprehend why her daddy could still walk as if he was the best in the world after drinking.
Huo Yao frowned. He glanced at the drunk Shen Chuchen and took his daughter a distance from him in disdain.
“He took you somewhere to drink?” The man asked coldly.
The little thing shook her head, “Sangsang didn’t drink.”
Huo Yao: “...” True.
If his cheap daughter drank alcohol, she would probably say: the entire city is her world after midnight.
“Sangsang.” Shen Chuchen yawned lazily, “How about you sleep with me tonight?”
The little thing shook her head and replied, “Sangsang is a big child.”
A big child should sleep in the same room with her sister.
Mu Chen, who just walked in, heard this and raised an eyebrow whilst sneering at her little arms and legs: “Do you have any misunderstandings about big children?”
Ye Sang: “...”
Huo Yao patted her little head and put his daughter on the couch.
All the other children went upstairs to sleep, the maids and assistants weren’t there either.
He looked at Shen Chuchen as he ignored Mu Chen, he also didn’t care if Shen Chuchen could understand him while being drunk.
“Her teacher...” The man paused for no reason, “She told me that Sangsang’s literature and math both need some work.”
Huo Yao: “... She also said she will scold us in particular during the parent-teacher conference tomorrow.”
Honestly speaking, did any of them ever get scolded before?
Even their parents didn’t care about them.
Shen Chuchen lazily rested his chin on his hand and replied slowly after a while.
“Parent-teacher conference, huh...”
“If you don’t want to get scolded, how about I go instead?”
It was her first parent-teacher conference and as an old father, he must be there.
Huo Yao pinched the little girl’s meaty cheeks and saw her anxious expressions. He pulled a fake smile, “You know that you should be scared?”
Ye Sang pursed her lips together and thought, of course, a cheap daddy won’t be able to understand a big child’s ears.
After you own three daddies who decide to go to a parent-teacher conference at the same time and all of them are the short-tempered type of villains who threaten you all the time...
Was she far from her three times the complete childhood?
The strand of hair on top of her head drooped down energyless as she mumbled lowly,
“Please don’t hit Sangsang...” Wuwuwu.
Chapter 199: Three People’s Parent-Teacher Conference
Of course, they had to attend the conference. Not only these two, but also Mu Chen too.
After Mu Chen threw the paternity test result to Huo Yao, he sank into a long period of silence.
He subconsciously looked at Shen Chuchen.
The man was still drunk and obviously, he wasn’t in his normal self.
Needless to think, Shen Chuchen must be the one who gave this to Mu Chen.
Huo Yao’s jaw tense and glanced at the two. Although he was feeling annoyed, he secretly sighed in relief.
After Mu Chen sees the result, at least he won’t try to hurt Sangsang even if he doesn’t fulfill his duty as a father.
Mu Chen looked at Huo Yao, who was the only sober person there, and asked in disbelief, “That brat really has five fathers?”
Although Shen Chuchen spilled everything after he got drunk, he still had a hard time digesting it.
Five?!
It was such an enormous number.
“Yes, five.” Huo Yao replied indifferently and then looked at Mu Chen pitifully while comforted like someone with experience, “Give yourself a night to calm down and you’ll be fine by tomorrow.”
Mu Chen: “...”
He turned around expressionlessly and went to calm himself down.
That brat liked him the least already, he wouldn’t even be involved anymore after she found the other two.
*
The parent-teacher conference was in the afternoon. The little thing filled her little bag with things and her two curly pigtails reached her waist.
She swayed her legs and realized that the teacher for today’s class wasn’t Ms. Liu or Ms. Xu.
Class was exceptionally quiet today, even the noisy Ye Niannian and Su Ruirui both chose to stay silent.
“Sangsang.” Su Ruirui whispered.
The little thing turned around and the boy continued to mumble, “See that? The teacher who’s going to scold us however he wants to is him.”
Ms. Xu and Ms. Liu were normal people and it was indeed difficult for them to scold a bunch of big shots in the city.
So they changed a teacher.
“This teacher is famous in our school for being unafraid of power and authorities, he loves to educate us all the time.”
He wasn’t even human.
Ye Sang hugged her bag tightly. She rested her chin on her desk and asked uncertainly, “T-Then is he going to scold Sangsang?”
“No.” Su Ruirui shook his head and replied seriously under the little girl’s hopeful eyes, “He will only scold your dad.”
Ye Sang: “...” If so, he must as well scold her instead.
The little thing could almost see her three short-tempered fathers fighting with the teacher already.
Su Ruirui mumbled. “I think he just has nothing to do, that’s why he’s going around scolding people randomly all day long.”
Shen Yao frowned when she saw the two little things whispering to each other.
Class ended just now, a few children sat together and started discussing the conference.
“Mr. Sun is hosting the conference this time, he’s so scary.”
“My Mommy knew him from a long time ago from a conference.”
The little thing swayed her legs and cupped her face while asking curiously, “And then?”
“And then?” That little friend had a tiny braid replied, “Then he scolded me about my grades in front of my mommy and my mommy beat me up.”
Ye Sang asked carefully, “How many points did you get?”
She replied, “I got 99 on literature and 90 on math.”
And she got scolded mercilessly in front of everyone.
Ye Sang: “...” It’s time to die.
The little thing counted her fingers and calculated her grades.
Her cheeks puffed and she started to worry.
“Ye Sangsang, today...” Ye Niannian moved over and hesitated, “Which dad is coming today?”
The little thing blinked and hesitated too, “Maybe three?”
Ye Niannian mumbled, “You really change a dad every day.”
First Huo Yao, then Shen Chuchen...who was the other one?
Su Ruirui was curious too.
Other than Ye Niannian and Su Ruirui, the other children haven’t seen Ye Sang’s Dad before. Although it was a kindergarten for the nobles, children there were unaware of each other’s backgrounds.
A few parents started coming in and they hugged and kissed their children. Other children came in and pinched their brat’s ears while educating them.
Ye Niannian was happily messing around with Su Ruirui but he jumped when he accidentally looked at the door.
“Holy s***, Dog Mu!!”
“Why is he here?”
Mr. Ye glared at him and pulled his ears, “Brat, did you just swear?”
“Ahhhhh dad, dad, it’s really Dog Mu!” Ye Niannian pulled his father tightly and started to wail.
Mr. Ye: “...” You embarrassing thing.
He expressionlessly pulled his idiotic son to the back.
Everyone there knew who Mu Chen was. Who wouldn’t want to win Mu Chen on their side?
However, it was a shame that Mu Chen ignored everyone.
Now that he appeared here, many parents were surprised.
But it wasn’t the end yet.
The little thing was happily swaying her legs in her chair and suddenly someone hugged her. She blinked blankly and asked in a low voice, “Daddy?”
Mu Chen froze for a second.
Then, he immediately smiled and rubbed her little head, taking her to the back of the room.
Shen Chuchen and Huo Yao had arrived too.
The two men had different styles.
One’s peach blossom eyes were filled with smiles while the other was expressionless and cold.
Huo Yao and Shen Chuchen!
The two men who could make the entire city terror-stricken, everyone in the upper class knew about them.
When they watched three men surrounding one little girl, they were all shocked.
“... What’s happening?” A woman who was dressed finely covered her mouth in shock. “T-These people?”
“Who’s that child?”
“Daughter...” Another lady mumbled too, “Are they married? Did they want a child so bad that they adopted one?”
It wasn’t impossible.
The only family with the surname Ye was Ye Niannian’s family.
If she didn’t share the same surname with any of them, she must be adopted.
“We can’t exclude the possibility that she’s Huo Yao’s kid. I remember Old Master Huo mentioning that he had a granddaughter a while ago. Tsk tsk tsk..... as for the other two, probably adoptive fathers?”
This explanation seemed to make sense.
So everyone shut their mouths.
Mr. Sun handed out the test papers with a cold face and made these parents face their children’s wrong answers while he mumbled, “This is outrageous.”
Chapter 200: Su Ye’s Photo
“Look at the test, how could any humans write down answers like these?”
Mr. Sun furiously started ranting about the test papers and saliva was flying everywhere.
Mu Chen took the test from the little thing’s hands with amusement.
The man’s hand was slim and long, making it look pretty while taking the paper away from her.
Huo Yao already knew how it went so when Mu Chen was looking at the test, he scooped the little girl into his arms and felt much better having his chubby daughter in his arms.
Shen Chuchen also thought it was unimportant.
It didn’t matter that his daughter didn’t do well.
They couldn’t even teach her after trying in turns so only her number one grandpas could teach her.
Mr. Sun was still ranting on the stage as he criticized those children with bad grades, and he didn’t even let their parents go.
“Some students are young but do not think kindergarten is unimportant because of age. All your kids of the nobles need to start building a foundation while young.”
“Look, some students have good grades, such as Shen Yao and Shen Yan’an, look at their marks.”
“Of course, Su Ruirui and Ye Niannian deserve to be complimented too.”
He ranted on and on and finally, he shifted his focus on Ye Sang, who was “a fish that escaped the net of nine years of compulsory education”.
“But some students...” He pushed his glasses up, “Just cannot be taught.”
“Where are Ye Sang’s parents?!”
After he howled, the three villains exchanged a dark glance with each other and replied in unison,
“Here.”
Mr. Sun pushed his glasses again. He didn’t know who these people were but perhaps they were just her relatives. The teacher didn’t beat around the bush and started using Ye Sang’s grades as a negative example and scolded them.
“58 for math. How did you teach your children?”
He criticized bitterly, “How did your child’s math become like this?”
Huo Yao replied calmly, “All three of us tried.”
Mr. Sun sounded even more bitter, “And none of you succeeded?”
“How unteachable is this kid?” He was shocked.
The man continued to rant on and even gave these three fathers his valuable advice, “I’ve taught children at this school for nobles for so long, it’s my first time seeing such low marks. Is this child unsuitable for this school?”
This school taught content other kindergartens didn’t and it wasn’t strange that children weren’t smart enough for it.
Mu Chen pulled his lips and half-smiled.
Now that’s something he hated to hear.
What’s wrong with his daughter having low marks?!
Huo Yao also looked up unhappily and glanced at Mr. Sun coldly.
All the people around them secretly sweated for the teacher.
They all knew that none of these three had good tempers and they might just start a fight right here.
Mu Chen humphed and pinched the little thing’s cheeks, “First time seeing such low marks? That’s your fault for not knowing much.”
“Look at my daughter more when you have time, perhaps you’ll learn something from her.”
It was Mr. Sun’s first time getting verbally attacked and he was unhappy, “How did you teach her? Look at it, look at all the wrong answers. There are so many that I don’t even know how she calculated them.”
Shen Chuchen supported his chin lazily and argued back without thinking, “My daughter can’t possibly get anything wrong, you are joking.”
Mr. Sun: “...”
He finally knew why there were so many naughty and bad children compared to the old days.
They were all spoiled!!!
Mr. Sun started getting angry too. He pointed at the test and said, “There are seven people on the bus and three people got on. It should be ten people in total.”
“Why does your daughter say nine?”
“Did you eat the last person?”
Shen Chuchen listened to his tone of voice and smiled coldly, “I don’t think the last person wants to go on the bus.”
Mr. Sun: “... You don’t think he wants to and he won’t?!”
Shen Chuchen replied, “If he dares to get on, I’ll make him get on vertically and get out horizontally.”
Mr. Sun: “...” He was going to die from this.
Huo Yao shook his daughter, who was falling asleep, and replied carelessly, “I can teach my daughter once we are home, there’s nothing to say in front of so many people.”
Shen Chuchen sat down carelessly and replied sloppily. “Anyway, it’s impossible that my daughter got these questions wrong.”
Mu Chen glanced at the two and thought that he should take the responsibility to educate her in the future.
It was a miracle that she didn’t grow up to be a strange person with twisted values.
Mr. Sun humphed angrily and felt bitter and hateful towards the three.
But he couldn’t win the argument against Shen Chuchen and he was furious.
All the others watched the teacher confront them and secretly admired Mr. Sun’s courage.
It was a one versus three yet he didn’t lose it, what a genius.
Mr. Sun was still babbling with a mouth like a torrent, and Shen Chuchen intervened in once in a while, making the conference feel somewhat funny.
The little thing rested her face on her desk and fidgeted. She pouted slightly and saliva almost dripped down as she watched a child eating a lollipop.
Mu Chen saw it and silently laughed.
Others who didn’t know would think that they weren’t giving her food.
“Wanna eat?” The man stretched out a finger and lifted the little thing’s chubby face. The coldness made her round cat eyes widen.
Ye Sang nodded, “Yes!”
Mu Chen smiled through a humph, “Call me dad and I’ll give you candy.”
The little thing hesitated for a while. She was flexible so she cupped her face and called him without hesitation, “Daddy.”
The man’s gloomy feeling disappeared at this. He lightly pinched her face and put the milk-flavored sweets into her little bag from his white coat’s pocket.
Mu Chen smiled and his eyes were gentle.
He never had things like this in his pockets before.
And he didn’t like sweet things either.
But...
He saw her smile and suddenly thought it was quite nice to have these things in his pocket.
The man put the candy into her little bag and unexpectedly found that her bag was full of things.
And he took out the photos on the way.
It was no surprise that there were his photo, as well as Huo Yao and Shen Chuchen’s photos.
The little thing was eating on her sweets. She saw his actions but continued to eat after tilting her head slightly.
Mu Chen looked at the other two photos and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
Su Ye...
Gu Cheng.
Su Ruirui, who was sitting behind Ye Sang looked up and his eyes lit up at the photo. Then he exclaimed in surprise,
“Woah, isn’t that my uncle?”
