Whenever Xiaxia has the chance, he will come over to his father's bed with his little pillow.
No matter how much Chu Qing emphasized to him that he was now a kindergarten student, the little guy could still argue that even if he went to kindergarten, he would still be his father's little darling.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes this morning was Xiaxia's clear and bright eyes.
Xiaxia was focused on watching her father sleep when she noticed a look of shock in his eyes after he woke up. She then rushed over and gave him a big hug.
Although his father still sleeps in as long as before, he likes his father now who unconsciously hugs him in his arms after falling asleep.
Good morning, Dad.
"Xiaxia, good morning."
Chu Qing's voice was a little hoarse from just waking up, and Xia Xia instinctively moved her cheek closer so her father could kiss her.
In the morning, Chu Qing took Xia Xia to buy some ingredients, planning to prepare some snacks to take with them tomorrow.
When I checked my phone to pay, I found that Wei Yutang had replied. He sent me the time and place and I went there to get the lollipop next to the cashier for the little kid who had been jumping on his tiptoes.
The cashier scanned it before handing it to Xiaxia.
You can only eat one.
"good!"
Chu Qing had made excellent arrangements and had already checked the arrival time of the bus.
After packing up and taking Xiaxia downstairs, we saw a familiar car parked behind the flower bed.
Before I could react, the back door opened, and Wei Yutang, dressed in casual clothes, walked over.
"The bus is crowded at this time, come on up."
The purpose was to make Xiaxia comfortable, so Chu Qing didn't refuse. Parking wasn't allowed at the zoo, so there was a bit of walking involved.
Wei Yutang naturally held Xiaxia in his arms, and took the things Chu Qing was carrying with his other hand.
The teacher sent a message in the group chat, setting a meeting point for them to gather. Xiaxia, who was getting a little impatient, was restless and struggled for a bit before Wei Yutang put her on his shoulder.
Wei Yutang was very tall, and it didn't seem out of place at all for a child to sit on his left shoulder.
This was a height Xiaxia had never experienced before, and the novelty made him stop causing trouble. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw people in the park not far away taking pictures in very pretty dresses.
"Dad, what's that?"
"They were taking wedding photos, photos from their wedding day."
"oh……"
Xiaxia nodded, seemingly understanding, and was about to look in the other direction when she suddenly remembered something else very important. With a serious expression, she asked:
"Dad, why didn't you take me with you when you took this photo with your father?"
"Is it because your father won't allow it?"

Wei Yutang: ? ? ?
Good morning, baby~
Chapter 26
Xiaxia thought that his father loved him so much that he would take him everywhere he went, but his father was different; his father was much worse than his father.
Chu Qing was stunned by Xia Xia's question. This brief moment of surprise confirmed Xia Xia's guess. She grabbed her father's hair and shook it.
"Bad father, why don't you take Xiaxia with you? Are you afraid Xiaxia is more handsome than you!"
Wei Yutang tilted his head, not daring to avoid it, and had to support the little darling with one hand for fear that he would fall. He noticed Chu Qing out of the corner of his eye.
The image of him in a tuxedo taking photos with her flashed through her mind, and her Adam's apple bobbed.
After Xia Xia finished speaking, Wei Yutang really began to look forward to that scene, and didn't forget to explain to Xia Xia.
"Your father and I have never taken any photos together."
Upon realizing she had misunderstood, Xiaxia let go of his hand, then patted him again, trying to cover it up, and whispered coquettishly:
"Then, can you take me with you when you take pictures with your dad? I want to stand in the middle!"
"Xiaxia".
"hold head high?"
Upon hearing her father's voice, Xiaxia instinctively turned her head to look. Chu Qing moved the parasol closer to him and explained:
"These kinds of photos are only taken for weddings."
"Then, let's forget about it."
Xiaxia sighed regretfully. It wouldn't be worth selling her father just because of a photo.
The children and their parents gradually arrived at the kindergarten, and the teachers used a loudspeaker to explain the itinerary to them.
Throughout the entire process, Xiaxia sat on Wei Yutang's shoulders. He could easily see the animals that the other children couldn't see because of the crowd, and he could even clap excitedly.
Especially the big lion. Xiaxia put her hand on the glass, and the big tiger walked to the glass and put its paw on it as well.
Through a thick layer of glass, hands and claws touched, and a hint of surprise flashed in Xiaxia's eyes.
"Wow."
Chu Qing stood not far away, looking at the scene in front of her. Today, Wei Yutang was dressed in casual clothes, which made Chu Qing suddenly realize that he was actually about the same age as the original owner of the body.
It's just that he usually wears a black suit and has a serious and mature demeanor, which makes people overlook this point.
Wei Yutang was playing with Xiaxia, but his attention was always somewhat focused on Chu Qing. When he noticed that Chu Qing was staring at him in a daze, he subconsciously straightened his back a little more.
After the kindergarten activity ended, many children were scolded for making mistakes or because their parents were too tired.
He followed his parents listlessly, showing little enthusiasm.
Some children noticed Xiaxia over there, and it would be a lie to say they weren't envious.
The younger children were making too much noise, so the teacher announced that the class was dismissed around noon. As they parted, Wei Yutang hugged Xiaxia and said:
"There's a banquet at my place tonight, wanna come?"
"No, I still have some work to finish. You take Xiaxia with you."
"Alright."
Wei Yutang took Xiaxia to their usual villa to change clothes, and then they went to the banquet there in the afternoon.
The banquet was to celebrate the return of one of his uncles from abroad, and there were quite a few guests.
From beginning to end, Wei Yutang never considered the possibility of looking for anyone else; if it wasn't Chu Qing, it certainly wouldn't be anyone else.
His preferred successor has always been Xia Xia, so he wanted to take this opportunity to get him used to such occasions in advance.
The hanging crystal chandelier emitted a soft glow, illuminating the entire banquet hall.
Xiaxia stayed by his father's side, calling him whatever he was told, and occasionally taking a bite of whatever his father offered him.
More than halfway through the banquet, a young man dressed casually stood in front of his father with a wine glass in his hand, a smile in his eyes and a gentle voice.
"Mr. Wei, would you like to add me in the contact information? It will be convenient if I need anything in the future."
Based on her experience as a matchmaker since childhood, Xiaxia felt that this man must have feelings for his father.
Just as I realized this, I saw my father coldly refuse.
"I don't think we would need to communicate privately about anything related to work."
After saying this, he led Xiaxia to a private room upstairs, asked a waiter to bring over a fruit platter, and fed it to Xiaxia with a fork.
Xiaxia chewed on the fruit, the sweet taste making him squint his eyes in enjoyment, while he couldn't help but mutter:
"Father, you don't seem to be very bright."
With something in his mouth, his speech was somewhat muffled, but the disdain in his eyes was clear.
Wei Yutang continued feeding him fruit, his brows slightly furrowed, and he said in a low voice:
"You really think I didn't notice?"
"hold head high?"
"I don't want to add it."
A firm refusal before the other party has made their intentions clear can put both of you in an awkward situation.
After a polite refusal, any smart person wouldn't persist.
Xiaxia was stunned for a moment, but after realizing what was happening, she wasn't particularly surprised.
After all, if a child is so smart, he should be suspicious of being a stolen child.
“Father, I suddenly realize... you're not as bad as I thought.”
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Based on Xiaxia's experience of spending so much time with him, her father is actually not bad at taking care of children. He knows how to refuse ambiguous relationships and keeps himself pure, barely passing the test.
"According to the TV series I watched behind my dad's back, this is called upholding male virtues!"
"What are we looking at all day long?"
After feeding him, Wei Yutang walked to the windowsill and saw his uncle talking to the person who had asked him for his contact information earlier.
After sending a message to his uncle's son, he took Xiaxia away from there, making an excuse that he had something to do at the company.
It wasn't the time agreed upon beforehand, and the driver wouldn't be here for a while. Wei Yutang was too lazy to wait, so he took the keys and sat in the driver's seat himself.
Xiaxia didn't bring the things her father prepared to the banquet. Now she's sitting in the back seat, opening her little backpack and taking out her sippy cup, sipping water.
Occasionally, I would peek out the window at the flashing neon lights and start thinking about what position I should use to sneak into my dad's bed without being too obvious.
Wei Yutang first took Xiaxia to the villa. He had bought gifts for both Xiaxia and Chu Qing during his business trip.
Xiaxia was given a very beautiful work of art, and she was able to successfully assemble it into a large airplane, which can cultivate children's hands-on skills.
While waiting for her father on the sofa, Xiaxia, feeling a little bored, picked up his phone to play a game, but couldn't solve it based on her own birthday from memory.
