TGLC Chapter 22.2

“Dad’s name is not Zhuzhu.” Duan Zihui refuted Zhuzhu’s words.

Little Zhuzhu rolled her eyes at her father and then got to the point: “Daddy Pig, you know what? When I do something I think is really great, what do I want most?”

Duan Zi replied: “A gift.”

Zhuzhu: …That seems right. But it wasn’t the answer she was looking for.

Her face flushed with excitement as she corrected him, “It’s not a gift, but it’s a compliment from Mom.”

“Of course, it would be even better with a gift.” She added.

Duan Zihui began to think.

Zhuzhu continued her long speech: “Our teacher said that praise is extremely important to children. A child who does good things needs affirmation and praise. Praise can increase our self-confidence.”

“Although Mom is not a child, she is always very happy when I praise her. When she is happy, she wants to do it sooner, and I am also very happy.”

“Dad, think about it. When you do something and others criticize you and don’t support you, will you still want to do it?”

Duan Zihui is a man who rises with courage despite setbacks. He has faced numerous rejections in his life. Even his father thought that he would become a playboy. His family didn’t support what he wanted to do, but he always faced the challenge head-on, never afraid of risks.

After saying the first part, Zhuzhu saw that her father seemed to be still thinking and rolled her eyes at him.

“It’s such a simple truth, Dad, but you don’t understand it.”

Then she sighed with a mature air: “How could Dad be so stupid?”

“What a fool!”

Xie Qingyu watched Duan Zihui being teased by her daughter and laughed so hard that she almost spilled the tea in her hand.

When Duan Zihui heard her laughter, he turned his head to look over. Seeing her laughing so exaggeratedly, he couldn’t help but glare at her.

Xie Qingyu walked over slowly with her head held high and chest puffed out, teasing her: “Duan Zihui, you never thought that one day you would be taught a lesson by your daughter, right? Haha.”

She smiled arrogantly. Her arrogant look was beautiful and charming.

Duan Zihui decided not to argue with her and asked her about opening a shop: “Are you short of money to open a shop?”

Xie Qingyu restrained her smile, placed the jasmine tea on the coffee table, and tilted her head with a playful look in her eyes: “Why? You want to give a sponsorship?”

Duan Zi replied: “It’s not impossible.”

Xie Qingyu lightly hooked her eye: “Not missing.”

She had money in her hands, as well as what Duan Zihui gave her back, so she could just open a small beauty store, which she could afford.

Duan Zihui: …

He had planned that Xie Qingyu would ask him to pay, but he didn’t expect her not to play by the rules.

The feeling of not being able to help was not pleasant.

He said, “If you need help, you can come to me.”

After thinking for a moment, he added nonchalantly, “After all, you are Zhuzhu’s mother, and as her father, I still hope that you can live a good life.”

Although the latter sentence sounded fine, Xie Qingyu still felt unhappy. Would he die if he didn’t add that sentence?

Little Zhuzhu still didn’t get what she wanted, so she pouted in dissatisfaction: “Dad, you still didn’t listen to me.”

Duan Zi replied: “…?” What?

Zhuzhu placed her small hand on the abacus on the coffee table and said loudly, “I asked you to praise Mom! Praise her! Don’t you know how to praise, Dad?”

Zhuzhu was so fierce.

Duan Zihui was frightened by his daughter’s fierce look and knew that if he didn’t meet her demands today, she would not give up.

He began to rack his brains to think of words of praise.

“Oh, your mother opened a shop. It’s good. It’s great and excellent. Very good…”

It felt like his mouth wasn’t working. He had never praised Xie Qingyu much. The most he’d ever done was praise her beauty.

After all, in his eyes, she was just a beautiful vase.
