Xu Mengyao smiled gently.
Lin Chen ruffled Lin Xiaoxi's nose and said, "Our Xiaoxi likes flowers too. Daddy forgot this time, but Daddy will remember next time."
"Hehe!"
"Daddy, let's pinky promise."
Lin Xiaoxi held out her little finger and made a pinky promise with Lin Chen.
"Oh, what's this?"
Shen Qing saw a card hidden among the flowers.
She reached out and took it.
"Honey, I love you."
"Mengyao, I feel a bit superfluous here."
Shen Qing read aloud from the heart-shaped card.
Xu Mengyao reached out and snatched the card back, her eyes scanning the words and the three little stick figures drawn on it.
"Lin Chen, did you draw this?"
"Your drawing skills are amazing! It's so lifelike," Shen Qing exclaimed.
Xu Mengyao glanced at Lin Chen.
The three little figures on the card were indeed well-drawn; Lin Chen's drawing skills were also extraordinary.
"Mommy, I want to see."
Lin Xiaoxi reached out her small hand.
Xu Mengyao gave the card to Lin Xiaoxi.
Lin Xiaoxi's eyes lit up: "Daddy, it's so pretty. Is this me? And is this Mommy?"
Lin Chen smiled: "Yes."
"If you like it, Daddy will draw another one for you later. Give this one to Mommy; it's for Mommy."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded.
"Mom, here you go."
"Mom, are you happy today? Xiaoxi and Dad are always so, so happy when we go out."
Lin Xiaoxi asked in a childish voice.
"Mmhmm, happy."
"Xiaoxi, Mom just got back from overseas, and there's a lot of things to handle at the company in China. Mom has to go now. How about I come see you again next week?"
Xu Mengyao kissed Lin Xiaoxi.
"Mmhmm."
"Mom, I'll be very good."
"I don't have any food preferences anymore, you know."
Lin Xiaoxi seemed a little reluctant, but still nodded.
Shen Qing chuckled, "Xiaoxi, it's because your dad's cooking is delicious that you don't have any preferences now, right?"
"Hehe!"
"I have a great dad."
Lin Xiaoxi smiled sweetly.
Lin Chen said, "Xiaoxi, Mommy's car is parked outside. We'll take Mommy and Aunt Qingqing out."
"Okay, okay."
Lin Chen and the other three went downstairs.
Xu Mengyao was holding a large bouquet of roses, and people in the community couldn't help but look at them.
Xu Mengyao felt quite uncomfortable.
But Lin Xiaoxi was very happy.
"Mengyao, drive safely."
Lin Chen, carrying Lin Xiaoxi, saw Xu Mengyao and the others to their car.
Xu Mengyao had driven her sports car.
The car was a red Porsche 911. For someone of Xu Mengyao's status, driving this car was considered very low-key.
"Okay."
"Xiaoxi, you have to listen to Daddy, okay?"
Xu Mengyao instructed.
Lin Xiaoxi nodded her little head. "Mommy, I will. Mommy, you have to come see Xiaoxi soon, okay?"
"Xiaoxi will miss you a lot."
Xu Mengyao nodded.
She was very reluctant to leave.
But she was now the group's president, with the entire group's assets totaling sixty billion. Many things required her to make decisions.
Some business still required her personal attention.
The group had grown to this size. Did she really expect to abandon the entire group just to take care of her daughter?
If it were just a six-million-dollar company, she might have let it go. But this was a six-billion-dollar company, not something she could simply abandon.
Sell her shares and take two or three billion in cash?
Without the group, without those connections, she might die very quickly, even with two or three billion in cash.
All sorts of shady characters might come knocking.
Vroom!
Xu Mengyao drove off.
The other car followed as they drove off; they weren't far behind.
Xu Mengyao's bodyguards were in that car.
"Mengyao, how did Uncle Xu investigate this before? Or was he deceived, and the investigators weren't thorough enough?"
"They didn't even discover Lin Chen's amazing cooking skills."
Shen Qing said from the passenger seat of the sports car.
"I don't know."
Xu Mengyao shook her head.
She was even more puzzled. It wasn't just his cooking skills that went unnoticed. Lin Chen was also proficient in four foreign languages; was he really just an ordinary person?
"So, Mengyao, how's the date going?"
Shen Qing asked with a smile.
She didn't know Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao had registered their marriage.
Xu Mengyao had told her that she was on a fake date with Lin Chen today, to let Lin Xiaoxi know that her parents loved each other.
Xu Mengyao said, "We're just pretending. If you want to know what a real date feels like, go find a boyfriend."
Shen Qing giggled, "Mengyao, I think it wouldn't be bad if you and Lin Chen developed your relationship further."
"To say nothing of anything else, with Lin Chen's cooking skills, you'd be eating like a queen if you actually married him."
Xu Mengyao fell silent.
Shen Qing said, "Uncle Xu's investigation showed he's quite ordinary. But he's a good cook, writes beautifully, and is also a pretty good painter. That's already very, very impressive."
"He has one more major advantage."
Xu Mengyao said lightly, "What advantage?"
Shen Qing replied, "He's Xiaoxi's father. Look at how close they are. I've spent more time with Xiaoxi than he has, but Xiaoxi is much closer to Lin Chen than to me."
"Blood ties are truly amazing."
Xu Mengyao quipped, "I understand what 'soften your mouth by eating others' means now. You've eaten two meals at Lin Chen's place, and now you're trying your best to speak well of him."
"What's wrong? Do you want to eat there again in the future?"
Shen Qing nodded repeatedly, "Of course I do. His cooking skills can't be matched even by the head chef of a five-star hotel."

"His cooking is indeed amazing."
Xu Mengyao said, "But don't sell me off for a few meals."
"Daddy, I'm so happy!"
Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoxi returned home, and Lin Xiaoxi said with delight.
"What are you happy about?"
Lin Chen asked.
Lin Xiaoxi giggled, "Daddy loves Mommy, Mommy loves Daddy, so Daddy and Mommy won't get a divorce!"
"Then I can always be with Mom and Dad."
Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoxi and said, "Don't worry, our family will definitely always be together."
"Beep beep!"
Lin Chen's phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Chen Wenhan calling.
"Editor-in-Chief Chen, what's up?"
Lin Chen asked.
On the other end of the phone, Chen Wenhan said, "Lin Chen, your book has begun printing. Send a message to your readers. There will be a purchase link on the website later."
"Also, since you don't want to hold a book signing, could we get a batch of signed books?"
"Buyers will randomly receive your signed books."
Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "Editor-in-Chief Chen, could you have someone send over a thousand books? I'll sign a thousand. Scarcity makes things valuable; too many would be overkill."
"Great."
Chen Wenhan said with delight.
"Xiaoxi, you go play on the balcony. Daddy has something to do, but I'll come and play with you soon after I'm done." (PS: Why do so many people think it's dangerous? It's not dangerous, guys. Just take a look at my house... Please ignore how messy it is) Lin Chen smiled and said.
"Okay."
Lin Chen went to the study and turned on the computer.
"Upload some more," Lin Chen muttered to himself.
He only had thirty fairy tales uploaded on the Child's Heart Website. He had another twenty stored on his computer that he hadn't posted yet.
Soon, Lin Chen uploaded ten more.
"The printed version of Lin Yu's Stories Collection is in production, coming soon."
After uploading the ten stories, Lin Chen posted an announcement.
