TGLC Chapter 14.2

Xie Qingyu couldn’t explain how she felt.

She hoped that Duan Zihui would pay some attention to Zhuzhu, but she also didn’t want him to care too much. After all, she just wanted her daughter to be her own.

But Duan Zihui had now appeared in Zhuzhu’s life.

“You’re so busy.”

After saying this to him in a sarcastic tone, Xie Qingyu didn’t want to pay attention to him anymore and went to her room.

“Okay, go find her and cultivate your father-daughter relationship. I’m very busy and don’t have time to pay attention to you.”

Xie Qingyu had become a bit more ambitious and had been looking into financial management.

She didn’t have any particular desire to double her assets, but she still wanted to understand some basic things, otherwise, her daughter wouldn’t know how to praise her when she grew up.

After sitting down in the room, she thought of her two poorly managed stores and felt that she should run them well so that she could at least make some money. When Zhuzhu praised her in the future, she could proudly say that she opened those two stores.

Xie Qingyu took out her books on shop management and read them again.

As she read, she began to feel sleepy.

Duan Zihui went back to find Zhu Zhu.

Little Zhuzhu was drawing in her room, her lips pursed, as if she were angry about something.

Seeing her father approach, she raised her head and said in a somewhat unfriendly voice, “What are you doing here?”

The little girl was still willing to talk to him.

Although she sounded a bit fierce, Duan Zihui felt quite comforted.

He said in a good-natured manner, “What’s wrong? Are you mad at Dad?”

Zhuzhu lowered her head, holding her paintbrush, and continued painting, muttering, “Who’s angry? You’re not worthy of my anger. Come if you want, or not. It’s fine if you don’t come. I’m especially happy if you don’t.”

She was clearly angry.

And she was angry because he didn’t show up?

This fact comforted Duan Zihui.

He dragged a cute pink stool over, patted the little girl’s head with a smile, and said, “Zhuzhu, if you miss Daddy, just ask Mommy to call me.”

Speaking of this, Zhuzhu got even angrier.

“Yes, Mom has already called you.”

Duan Zihui lowered his eyes, suddenly remembering that this had happened, but he had been so busy at the time that he had overlooked it.

His tone was filled with guilt: “Sorry, I’m too busy. Dad originally wanted to come over when I was free, but I didn’t expect it to take so long.”

Zhuzhu snorted coldly and turned her head away, still not wanting to pay attention to him.

Zhuzhu felt very angry when she thought about how she had boasted to the other kids, only to have her father never show up to pick her up, and how everyone laughed at her.

She didn’t look at her father, her cheeks puffed up with anger.

“I haven’t decided to forgive you so quickly. Anyway, I don’t want to care about you yet. Go and reflect on what you did wrong.”

During his lifetime, someone actually asked him to reflect on his mistakes.

And she was just a four-year-old.

Duan Zihui wanted to laugh, but seeing how angry Zhuzhu was, he didn’t dare to smile. After all, if the little girl got angry, he’d have to spend time soothing her.

He continued to apologize in a very good-tempered manner: “Dad knows I was wrong. Next time, if you call once and I don’t come, just call a few more times.”

Zhuzhu: “Who needs to call you so many times? Are you the emperor? You need so many invitations? Come if you want, or not. If you don’t, forget it. I’ll pretend you’re not my Dad.”

At this moment, there was a cracking sound, and the stool under Duan Zihui’s butt suddenly cracked.

Little Zhuzhu stared in amazement at her stool’s heroic sacrifice, tears streaming down her face.

“My stool!”

Duan Zihui’s face stiffened.

Then he saw the child rushing over and trying to straighten the chair that was about to break in two, cursing, “Why are you so fat? You broke my stool! If you can’t sit on it, just don’t sit on it! Well, it’s broken now! You broke my favorite stool!”

Duan Zihui has lived for so many years and has always maintained a good figure. No matter how busy he is, he always keeps fit. In the eyes of others, he is still considered thin.

This is the first time someone has called me fat.

He was a little speechless.
