This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Within the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel, Xu Fan looked on, torn between laughter and tears, as Tongtong put down the phone.
Tongtong flashed a mischievously cute smile and, batting her big eyes at Xu Fan, said, “Daddy, Tongtong’s got it all sorted for you.”
“Sweetheart, you made a decision without even asking your old dad’s opinion. Isn’t that a bit too hasty?” Xu Fan said, rubbing his head and feeling somewhat headache.
“Oh my!” Tongtong threw down the phone, clambered over with her little body, nestled into Xu Fan’s arms, and began coquettishly shaking his arm, “Daddy, didn’t you say you’re Superman? Mommy won’t eat you, and besides, you’ve got Tongtong here to help you. Don’t worry, I’ll be cheering you on.”
“Erm, you little rascal, I never really understood the meaning of ‘digging a pit for your father’ before, but now it’s becoming clearer and clearer to me,” Xu Fan said, shaking his head helplessly.
“Tongtong would never do that to Daddy. Everything Tongtong does is for the good of Mommy and Daddy!” Tongtong pouted, unconvinced and looking a bit upset.
Seeing his precious little girl starting to get annoyed, Xu Fan immediately felt his resistance dissipate, and while tousling Tongtong’s hair, he said, “Alright, alright, Daddy’s going, okay?”
“Hee hee hee, I knew I’m Daddy’s favorite,” Tongtong gleamed with pride, her mood instantly brightening as she joyfully leapt into Xu Fan’s embrace.
“Since we’re going, let’s quickly pack up and change clothes,” Xu Fan said, gently pinching Tongtong’s cheek with affection.
“Okay! Tongtong wants to dress up pretty and show Mommy I can be a little princess,” Tongtong declared with a flourish, excitedly shaking her head.
“Our Tongtong is already a little princess!” Xu Fan lifted her up and opened the door.
Next to the Hilton Hotel was Zhonghai City’s renowned Guohui Business and Trade, which housed various branded clothing.
Xu Fan, with Tongtong in tow, stepped off the elevator and happened to see Song Qi, who was in the middle of a shift change with a front desk employee.
“Mr. Xu, where are you heading?” Song Qi greeted Xu Fan with a warm smile.
“Pretty sister, Tongtong’s gonna buy a beautiful dress,” Tongtong blurted out to Song Qi before Xu Fan could reply.
“Yeah, we’re planning to head over to Guohui Business and Trade next door to buy some clothes for Tongtong,” Xu Fan also nodded and said to Song Qi.
“I just got off work, so why don’t I show you around? I’m quite familiar with Guohui, and besides, you, a big man, surely aren’t as good at shopping for clothes as we are,” Song Qi said with a smile to Xu Fan.
“Yay! Sister is so pretty, she’s sure to pick out beautiful dresses for Tongtong!” Tongtong chirped gleefully within Xu Fan’s arms, waving her hands excitedly.
“There’s no need to trouble yourself, we’re just buying some simple clothes,” Xu Fan replied casually.
“It’s no trouble at all. You just helped me out a lot, Mr. Xu, so consider it a way of showing my gratitude,” Song Qi said firmly to Xu Fan.
Without waiting for Xu Fan’s response, Song Qi quickly conveyed a few instructions to the opposite employee, unhooked her work badge, then turned back to Xu Fan with an enchanting smile and said, “I know Guohui well, and will definitely find a dress that Tongtong loves.”
“Alright then, let’s go together,” Xu Fan nodded, not insisting further.
Guohui Business and Trade spanned over a dozen floors, housing thousands of stores, and it would indeed not be easy to shop without someone familiar to guide them.
Seeing Xu Fan had agreed, Song Qi led them through the hotel’s internal passageway straight to the back door, taking a shortcut to the side entrance of Guohui Business and Trade. Had Xu Fan gone alone, walking from the main entrance of the hotel to the main entrance of Guohui would have taken many times longer.
Taking the elevator, they arrived at the sixth floor of Guohui Business and Trade, which was a children’s paradise. Besides various playground facilities set up, all the merchandise revolved around children’s needs.
After reaching the sixth floor, Song Qi found a person in charge, had a brief chat, and then turned around and walked back to Xu Fan.
“I just asked their person in charge, let’s go directly to the Dolce & Gabbana counter and take a look, this is already the best children’s clothing brand in all of Zhonghai,” Song Qi said to Xu Fan with a smile.
“Okay!” Xu Fan nodded and started following Song Qi toward the counter she had mentioned.
Dolce & Gabbana is an internationally renowned children’s clothing brand, originally from Italy, and many children of Yan Country’s top celebrities wear this brand.
Today, Xu Fan had helped Song Qi so much that she decided to pay herself when the time came and buy a set of Dolce & Gabbana children’s clothes for Tongtong as a way to thank Xu Fan. Even though a set of clothes here could easily cost tens of thousands, Song Qi didn’t hesitate at all; many things can’t be measured with money.
The three of them wandered around the sixth floor for a while until they finally found the Dolce & Gabbana counter.
Along the way, Tongtong, who had been dazzled by a myriad of children’s clothes, finally arrived at their destination. She hopped down from Xu Fan’s embrace and looked up curiously at the clothes in the store.
“Hello, are you shopping for clothes for your baby?” the sales associate asked Xu Fan politely.
“Yes, I want to buy a pretty dress for my daughter,” Xu Fan replied with a smile.
“Then I’ll take your wife and daughter to pick one out, you can rest for a while in our lounge area,” the sales associate said, pointing at Song Qi.
“Uh…”
“We’re not husband and wife,” Song Qi’s face flushed with embarrassment, as she clarified in a low voice to the sales associate.
However, in her heart, Song Qi felt a tinge of envy and longing. Having a husband like Xu Fan and a daughter like Tongtong would make for such a perfect family.
“I’m so sorry, who will be helping this little fairy pick out clothes?” the sales associate immediately apologized to Song Qi, but seeing Song Qi’s shy demeanor, the sales associate couldn’t help but wonder if Song Qi was the ‘other woman’.
Song Qi ignored the sales associate’s thoughts, straightened her expression, and said, “I’ll pick them out. Tongtong, come over here, sister will take you to try on some clothes.”
Tongtong scampered over with her little legs, her small hand gripping Song Qi’s larger one, and they began to carefully look through the clothes on the counters.
Xu Fan gladly took his leisure, walking over to the sofa in the resting area and plonking himself down, casually crossing his legs.
“Sister, sister, I want to wear this…”
“Okay, could you let our darling try on this one?”
“Sister, sister, I also want to wear this…”
“Here, this one, let’s get both colors.”
Xu Fan sat back lazily, watching Song Qi and Tongtong tirelessly choosing clothes, feeling a sense of relief.
Thank goodness for Song Qi, or I would have been exhausted to death!
