水蜜桃实验室

After spending nearly half an hour in Guohui Business and Trade, Song Qi, accompanied by Tongtong, finally placed a pile of big and small shopping bags on the counter.

She had intended to buy just one item to wear, but once she started, she couldn’t stop. Eight or nine items, including various little skirts, tank tops, backpacks, and hats—enough to dress up Tongtong three times over.

Xu Fan took out his black card and smiled as he went to check out at the counter.

Song Qi had wanted to pay, but Xu Fan gently stopped her.

Having someone to accompany Tongtong while picking clothes had already saved her a great deal of worry; money was something Xu Fan was definitely not short of.

The pile of items totaled nearly one hundred thousand yuan. After Xu Fan calmly paid the bill, he thanked Song Qi and carried the bags to his Audi, tossing them into the trunk.

Tongtong had now changed into an exquisite, light pink dress and wore a diamond-studded hair hoop. With her delicate features, she looked like a little princess who had stepped right out of Fairy Tale World.

Xu Fan buckled Tongtong snugly into the car seat, then nodded to Song Qi as he said goodbye and drove straight to Xinghai Entertainment Company.

Song Qi stood on the roadside, watching Xu Fan’s car slowly drive away, her face revealing a touch of infatuation and reluctance. She then collected her emotions and headed towards the Hilton Hotel.

Xu Fan drove swiftly, and in no time, arrived at the Xinghai Media building.

“Mommy is up there, we’re going to find Mommy.” Tongtong kicked her little feet and excitedly yelled to Xu Fan from inside the car.

“Okay, Tongtong will see Mommy very soon.” Xu Fan opened the car door, lifted Little Tongtong, and affectionately kissed her forehead.

As Xu Fan carried Tongtong through the entrance of Xinghai Entertainment, he saw a receptionist approaching him.

After all, Xinghai Media was a media company—its employees were exceptionally presentable. Even the receptionist who came over was very pretty, with a beauty comparable to that of average second-tier stars.

“Sir, may I help you with anything?” the receptionist asked Xu Fan gently.

“I’m looking for someone!” Xu Fan nodded and told the receptionist.

“Sister, Tongtong wants to go upstairs to find Mommy,” said Tongtong, who was aware that Xu Yixue was upstairs and could hardly wait. She spoke to the receptionist in her babyish voice.

“Little sister, who is your mommy?” The receptionist, finding Tongtong adorable, asked playfully.

“Sister, my mommy is Xu Yixue, she works here.” Tongtong said to the receptionist with an earnest expression, craning her neck and looking around as she spoke.

“What? Miss Xu?” The receptionist was almost stunned; although Xu Yixue had just joined the company, she was breathtakingly beautiful and exuded a commanding CEO aura, quickly becoming a goddess in the eyes of everyone at the company, regardless of gender.

To suddenly discover that the goddess had a young daughter, even the usually composed receptionist was somewhat taken aback by the revelation.

“Is Xu Yixue upstairs right now?” Xu Fan asked the receptionist calmly.

“Miss Xu is here,” the receptionist nodded slowly, thinking to herself that she had never heard of Miss Xu getting married. Otherwise, all the top Zhonghai rich heirs who sent flowers and asked her out for meals were doing so to win over the beauty, weren’t they?

The man in front of her, could he be using this little girl as a shield to get close to President Xu? In today’s society, there are all kinds of people. If she let him go up to see President Xu, that might be a minor issue, but if he tarnished President Xu’s reputation, she wouldn’t be able to bear that responsibility.

With this thought, the receptionist’s expression gradually turned icy as she stiffly said to Xu Fan, “I’m sorry, sir, you need to make an appointment if you want to see our President Xu. You can’t go up directly without an appointment.”

“This Xu Yixue really puts on airs,” Xu Fan muttered, thinking that Tongtong had just tried to call Xu Yixue and she hadn’t informed the staff downstairs to let him in, truly a petty woman.

In the surveillance room, Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning were glued to the screen, observing Xu Fan’s flustered appearance.

“Yixue, it’s about time someone put him in his place. He thinks just because he knows martial arts and medicine, he doesn’t have to respect women!” Ye Xiaoning said, filled with satisfaction as she watched the screen.

“Look at you, you’ve still got the heart of a child. He’s with Tongtong. What if he upsets her and makes her cry? Just let him in quickly,” Xu Yixue said without taking her eyes off Tongtong’s figure on the screen.

“Fine, since you’re family, I suppose I have to be the outsider to go down and fetch them both,” Ye Xiaoning said with a hint of sourness, shaking her head.

Just as Ye Xiaoning was about to leave, Xu Yixue suddenly grabbed her and said reproachfully, “There’s no need to go down now, look at the screen.”

Ye Xiaoning turned her head and saw Tongtong on the screen already dialing a number with the phone in her hand.

At that moment, Xu Yixue’s phone started ringing in her pocket as well.

“Mommy, mommy, Tongtong is at mommy’s workplace, but the pretty sister here won’t let Tongtong and daddy go upstairs. Please come and get Tongtong,” Tongtong’s milk-sweet voice came through the phone.

“Oh, Tongtong got here so quickly. Mommy will have them let you up right now,” Xu Yixue nodded and replied into the phone.

Seeing Tongtong’s adorable little face, she could hardly keep it together, yearning to hold Tongtong in her arms and kiss her sweet-smelling little face as soon as possible.

“Mommy, Tongtong misses you, Tongtong is coming up,” Tongtong told Xu Yixue, then promptly hung up the phone with a click.

“This child, she hung up before I even finished speaking, she must have learned that from that detestable Xu Fan!” Xu Yixue clutched the phone and said bitterly.

“I should still go down and get them, to prevent any misunderstandings,” Ye Xiaoning said considerately to Xu Yixue and then stood up, opening the door and heading to the stairway.

Downstairs, after Tongtong had hung up, she lifted her little face proudly and said to the receptionist, “Sister, my mommy told me to go up, so we can go up now, right?”

“Umm! Little friend, you still can’t go up,” the receptionist quickly stretched out her hand, blocking the path of Xu Fan who was about to step forward.

“You still won’t let us go up after making a call?” Xu Fan asked, somewhat surprised.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t hear the content of your conversation, so I can’t verify it. I can’t let you go up, please wait here patiently for a little longer,” the receptionist told Xu Fan warily.

“What if I insist on going up?” Xu Fan’s tone became stern as he firmly picked up Tongtong, ready to vault past the receptionist using his speed.

“Heyah, who dares to make a scene in our Xinghai Media reception hall!” A security guard at the door, hearing Xu Fan’s words, swaggered in with his shoulders rocking.
