Chapter 2 I Just Have a Cold

Shen Chong handed the trophy to Xin Xin with a smile, saying cheerfully

Seeing her behave like a little adult, Shen Chong felt a sense of joy in his heart

But our people can bring ... ...

The Phantom is a Phantom-class Ghost, valued at over 5 million, and just one wheel of that car is worth more than this small, shabby apartment

Jiang Yu interrupted him, saying, "After all, you are Xinxin's father, and there are some things I don't need to say. It was not easy for General Manager Lin to agree to let her stay with you for a few days, so you must be careful not to let her get sick."

What about the last time before last time before last time

From beginning to end, Shen Chong was unable to see the woman who gave birth to his daughter, Lin Zhishu

His memory remains somewhat hazy; he only knows that Xinxin's mother, Lin Zhishu, comes from a prestigious family and currently holds a high position in a large company

Mr. Lin, I have already handed Xin Xin over to Shen Chong, but the conditions here are truly inadequate, and I am worried...

Jiang Yu said irritably: "Fine, if Xin Xin says it's good, then it's good, really."

Xin Xin broke free from Shen Chong's embrace and ran back to the TV cabinet, picking up the trophy whose base had already come off the ground. In an instant, she became tearful, and tears were about to stream down her face

"Be well! Father must not fall ill, and neither can Xin Xin."

Xin Xin puckered her lips and pressed them against Shen Chong's cheek

I can't remember at all

I am just... a little under the weather

The precious daughter immediately stopped crying and smiled, carefully taking the cup with both hands, gently placing it back on the TV cabinet, and then blowing on it twice, saying, "Little trophy, I’m sorry, it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt! From now on, Xinxin will be more careful!"

This is not the end; she turned back and gave Shen Chong a thumbs up, "Dad is really amazing! He is a master of magic! Awesome!"

Xinxin, who was playing with the trophy on the TV cabinet that had already developed a patina, saw this and dropped what she was holding to run over, saying, "Dad, don't hit your own head! Aunt Jiang said that hitting your head will make you stupid!"

From time to time, she timidly lowered her head to look at the cup in her hand and the base on the ground, feeling a hundred times more ashamed than Washington when he chopped down the cherry tree

Shen Chongyi embraced Xinxin and gently rubbed the porcelain doll's face, saying, "Alright, Daddy won't hit anymore."

While watching the child, he is also slowly organizing his memories in his mind

As for how the two first met and how Xin Xin came to be, those memories seem to have been hidden away

Before she could finish her sentence, Xin Xin in Shen Chong's arms began to argue, "Daddy, this place is great! Xin Xin really likes it!"

Even if he is a tech enthusiast and a genius, when faced with a situation where he has zero skills and experience yet is expected to confront a major boss, he will still be at a loss.

This sense of achievement and happiness, he could never comprehend in his past life, yet it comes so easily now

How to have her is simply not important at all

Not far after driving out, Jiang Yu stopped by the roadside to call the mother of her child who was far away in France. It was almost nine o'clock in the morning on her side, and the meeting had not yet started

Damn it, my nose is starting to feel sore again

Recently, Shen Chong happened to be on leave for a few days, so he simply invited Xin Xin to come and stay with him for a few days, after all, the father and daughter had not seen each other for more than half a year

Shen Chong felt a bit of a headache and instinctively tapped his head

I have investigated, and about 80 to 90 percent of the residents in the tenement building are outsiders renting here. The situation is quite chaotic with people from all walks of life. Should I discreetly arrange for a few individuals to keep an eye on things

I said it's not needed anymore, I don't believe Shen Chong can't even be a good father, the world isn't that chaotic, it's just a matter of a few days

Although they have just met, the thought that Xin Xin will be taken away in four days makes him feel both reluctant and unwilling, not knowing when they will meet again.

Shen Chong pressed the cup body onto the base, then applied force to push it inside, and with a click, it was secured again

There is no need to worry about this matter. Shen Chong, despite his current situation, was once a professional athlete, and no one in the security department possesses better skills than he does. If he cannot handle it, sending more people would be futile

Standing by the door of the ghostly car in the courtyard, Jiang Yu lingered for a moment after descending the stairs alone

Shen Chongsheng was afraid that she would fall, even more so that she might encounter a power strip or any sharp objects. He anxiously followed the little one around, and whenever he saw something that needed to be tidied up, he quickly picked it up and placed it out of reach.

Three years ago, when Xinxin had just turned two and returned from abroad, she caught a distant glimpse of her daughter for the first time, accompanied by Jiang Yu.

After the novelty of the reunion wore off, the little one began to play by himself

At this moment, Shen Chong smiled apologetically at Jiang Yu

Xin Xin's shoulders finally stopped trembling, her eyes wide open as she stared intently at the trophy in Shen Chong's hands, the "Corpse".

Xin Xin has basically been raised by herself since birth, yet she is closer to her father, whom she has only met a few times. This is truly frustrating

Clearly, it was she who made the mistake, and she herself feels sorry for her father; yet, she is the one who is the most heartbroken.

Xinxin jumping out of such an environment and moving into her own place is akin to descending from the resplendent heavenly realm into a muddy pit

Then let's leave it at that, I have a meeting to attend, so I will hang up now

He understands the reasoning, but he does not know how to express it verbally

Approximately, when I was only a few years old, my parents took me to experience this feeling as well

At this moment, Shen Chong over there is actually quite confused in his mind

Jiang Yu is so angry

What about the time before last

Shen Chong recalled that seven months ago, during her summer vacation, she had taken her to Happy Valley for an afternoon of fun

Watching Xin Xin excitedly jump up and down on the 1.2-meter bed, Shen Chong silently thought that it seemed impossible to catch up with the conditions of the child's mother’s family in a short time, but things at his father's place would not always be like this

I know this, so rest assured, if I am ill, Xin Xin cannot be ill either

What matters is the result, I have a precious daughter

He was sweating profusely and coaxed for several minutes, finally managing to calm his precious daughter down a little, though her shoulders still trembled slightly

This time she truly cried

Sister Jiang, I know you are puzzled as to why I arranged for Xinxin to stay at his house. I am also reluctant, but before the winter vacation, Xinxin's classmate boasted about going on a trip with her father. As soon as Xinxin came back, she kept asking me where her father was and wanted to see him. She cried all night; what could I do? I can't just hire an actor to play her father, can I

Well, sigh

Jiang Yu rolled her eyes and said, "I'm leaving, I'm leaving"

On the phone was the voice of a refined woman, with a calm tone, yet possessing an undeniable presence.

Shen Chong was flustered and quickly comforted, "Xin Xin, don't cry, it's alright, if the trophy is broken, then it's broken."

Shen Chong felt a bit awkward, "It is somewhat unfortunate, but after a while, I will strive to change to a better apartment, and by then..."

Shen Chong suddenly had a flash of inspiration, forcing a smile on his face. He took the cup from Xin Xin's hand and picked up the base from the ground, saying: "Here, Daddy will perform a magic trick for you"

Having spoken, she truly dropped her suitcase and turned to leave

How could someone with such a foolish and clumsy personality have managed to win someone over in the past, even to the extent of being willing to bear a daughter for him

A year and a half ago, when Xinxin was three and a half years old, I took her to fly kites for half a day

Jiang Yutan sighed, "I originally came to take a look, otherwise I wouldn't feel at ease. Alas, the conditions here are truly too poor."

Indeed, we do not fall ill; when we do, we must receive injections, which are quite painful

Sigh, that is also true

It was not until Xin Xin's little face appeared at the window, waving at herself, that she reluctantly left

Unexpectedly, Xin Xin, who was nestled in Shen Chong's arms, immediately smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, goodbye! Aunt Jiang, goodbye! Dad, Dad, let's hurry inside, it's so cold outside."

Daddy is really good. Blow it, oh, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt

Homebodies are inherently not skilled in social interactions, let alone the exceedingly challenging task of engaging with children.

He remembers that Gust is the Rolls-Royce in this world

Jiang Yu looked at the affectionate appearance of the father and daughter, feeling an indescribable envy

Ah, Dad, I broke your important trophy! Yes... I'm sorry...

Shen Chong felt that this rental apartment was extremely oppressive, while the little one seemed to find everything fresh and new, eagerly looking around, glancing here and there, and asking about anything unfamiliar he encountered, inquiring what it was and whether it was fun

This time, Lin Zhishu decided to send Xinxin over, stating that President Lin was going abroad for official business and would be away for four to five days. Coincidentally, Xinxin had just started her winter vacation, while her grandparents were unable to leave Beijing and Ping.

If there is nothing else, I will take my leave. Xinxin, is Aunt Jiang leaving?

Even now, he is unable to recall Lin Zhishu's appearance, and can only infer from Xinxin's brows and eyes that her mother must also be a beauty with large eyes

Shen Chong could only ascertain that the process was not particularly aboveboard, and his former self was even ashamed to recall it

The trophies earned from competitions are very important to Shen Chong, as they represent one of the few remaining memories of his time as an athlete

In his previous life, he had never even been in a relationship, let alone taken care of a child

Is it really that straightforward

These are all fateful ties, ultimately one is an outsider and cannot manage too much

Fortunately, children do not understand these things

When was the last time I saw Xin Xin

Jiang Yu struggled a bit unwillingly; in the past, when she took Xin Xin to her grandparents' house, she always felt a bit reluctant to leave each time.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu turned back reluctantly, a bitter smile appearing on her face, and drove off again

Shen Chong also stood by the window, watching the car shadows gradually recede below, feeling somewhat embarrassed

"Dad, you just said that the trophy is as important as the certificate the teacher gave me. I really didn't mean to, I'm sorry, Dad! Wuwuwu!"

Shen Chong was utterly at a loss; the more he tried to comfort, the more she cried joyfully. How could he possibly stop this

Xinxin stretched out her little paw to cover Shen Chong's mouth, "Daddy is not allowed to be sick either"

Forget it, don't think about it; you will gradually remember it sooner or later

In the hearts of children, a place with both a father and a mother is home

But for him now, all the trophies combined are not worth a single smile from his precious daughter

Sister Jiang, you need not worry too much; Xinxin is not that delicate

Looking at her delicate and tender little face, along with her expression of deep concern for herself, Shen Chong held her even tighter

Ding ding ding ding! The trophy has come to life again! Dad's magic has succeeded!

Well, accompanied by the eight bodyguards sent by Lin Zhishu
