This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
It was past nine o'clock.It's time for work.
Dong Xuebing sat in his office, handling documents, flipping through them individually, signing where needed, and processing the rest.
Outside, sounds kept coming in.
“The little one is really cute.”
“Hehe, not afraid of people at all.”
“Nice, let me hold her too.”
“Shh, keep it down, don’t let Director Dong hear.”
“You guys keep working. I'll hold her since I'm done.”
Whether it was because of Dong Xuebing's status or because everyone genuinely liked Xiao Qianqian, everyone seemed to be vying to hold her. Xiao Qianqian was laughing joyfully and giggling nonstop. She seemed to be having a great time with everyone and was very happy.
Upon hearing this, Dong Xuebing didn’t mind. He indeed had a lot to do, and given his poor relationship with Fang Wenping, he couldn’t afford to let his superiors catch him slacking. So, he focused on finishing his work, not having time to care for the child. With them looking after her, he felt much more at ease.
After a while.
“Wah wah wah”
“Ah, why is she crying?”
“Let me see, oh, she wet herself.”
“The diaper? It's right here. Director Dong left them here.”
“I'll take her to the bathroom to change her. You all don't need to worry.”
Among the older ones, Zhang Lili took on the task. Only she and Luo Haiting had experience in this area. Luo Haiting was busy in the office, just as swamped as Dong Xuebing, so naturally, it fell to Zhang Lili. Han Fei was eager to volunteer, but she was a young, unmarried woman and not as experienced as Zhang Lili. No one objected.
Dong Xuebing heard the commotion inside. He didn’t trust Xiao Han, but he did trust Zhang Lili, so he continued his work.
About ten minutes later.
Zhang Lili suddenly returned, "It's bad, it's bad!"
"What's wrong, Sister Zhang?" Han Fei asked curiously, "Where's the baby?"
Zhang Lili said urgently, "I ran into Director Fang Wenping in the bathroom. She asked whose child it was, and I said it was Director Dong's relative. Then Director Fang criticized me, saying who allowed bringing a child to the workplace and talked about principles and regulations."
Han Fei was stunned, "Then what?"
Zhang Lili said, "Then Director Fang said to give her the child. She took Xiao Qianqian away. I wanted to stop her, but I didn't have the authority."
Han Fei angrily said, "Director Fang is unreasonable!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Haiting also came out of the office. "Director Fang took the child away?"
Zhang Lili nodded, "I had just changed Qianqian's diaper... it's all my fault, sigh."
Dong Xuebing heard this and pushed the door open, coming out with a very dark expression, "Where is Qianqian? In which office?"
Zhang Lili said, "I don't know. She should be in Director Fang's office."
Dong Xuebing was furious and quickly rushed out of the office despite Luo Haiting and Zhang Lili trying to stop him. Director Dong looked like he was going to settle scores. Damn it, you can give me trouble, but giving my daughter trouble is unacceptable. Don't talk to me about rules. Everyone has their issues. Bringing a child here, so what? I can't leave her on the street, can I? This is simply unreasonable!
"Director Dong!"
"Director Dong, please don't—"
Dong Xuebing had already left.
In front of the Director's Office of the Ninth Office.
Dong Xuebing didn’t even knock. He turned the handle and pushed the door open. His temper was well-known, especially when it involved his daughter. He was about to lash out, but when he saw the scene inside, the words caught in his throat, and he was momentarily stunned.
Fang Wenping was there.
Xiao Qianqian was also there.
Dong Xuebing didn't expect that Fang Wenping was holding Xiao Qianqian on her lap with a look of motherly love and affection, playing with her. Xiao Qianqian's dirty little shoes were stepping on Fang Wenping's leg, leaving footprints on her pants, but Fang Wenping didn't seem to mind.
"Yaya."
"Say 'Auntie.'"
"Yayayaya."
"Come on, say 'Auntie.'"
"Ah-ah-yi."
"Good job, almost there. Say it all together."
"Ah-yi."
She almost managed to say it.
Fang Wenping was very happy and kissed Xiao Qianqian on the forehead, saying, "So obedient, how can Auntie not like you so much?" Then she noticed Dong Xuebing, who had just entered, and her expression instantly changed to cold and indifferent. "I told you last time, didn't I? Don't you know how to knock? This is my office, not your home. Go outside and knock before coming in."
Dong Xuebing glared, "You took my goddaughter, and expect me to knock?"
"Who allowed you to bring a child to work?" Fang Wenping replied coldly. "Don't you know the rules?"
This revealed whose child Xiao Qianqian was. Even though she had been playing happily with Auntie Fang, she got upset as soon as she heard Fang Wenping scold her dad. She started wriggling and grabbed Fang Wenping's sweater, even pulling off one of the decorative buttons.
"Daddy, Daddy!" Xiao Qianqian called out.
Dong Xuebing was deeply moved. Look at that: the little one still loves her dad. He quickly took two steps forward, "Daddy's here, Daddy's here."
Xiao Qianqian waved her arms, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy."
Dong Xuebing knew she wanted him to hold her, so he stepped forward to take her.
But Fang Wenping didn't let go. She quickly said to the child, "Auntie was wrong, Auntie was wrong. Don't be upset. Can I hold you a bit longer?"
Xiao Qianqian wasn’t having it and wanted her dad.
Fang Wenping said, "Are you mad at Auntie now? Okay, okay, Auntie won’t scold your dad anymore, alright? Let Auntie give you another kiss."
Xiao Qianqian looked at her but didn’t make a sound.
Fang Wenping leaned down and kissed her cheek.
Seeing Fang Wenping like this, Dong Xuebing paused and didn't go to pick up his daughter. He suddenly found this side of Fang Wenping quite endearing, with that motherly look on her face. Dong Xuebing was a bit touched, not expecting this side of Fang Wenping.
"Say 'Auntie' one more time."
"Ah-yi."
"Good girl, hehe."
It seemed Fang Wenping liked children.
Seeing her affectionate with his daughter, Dong Xuebing's anger subsided, "Director Fang, should I take Qianqian back now?"
Fang Wenping glanced at him and coldly said, "I'll return her to you in the afternoon. Bringing a child to the office is against the rules. I'll look after her for now. You can go back."
Dong Xuebing was speechless.
Fang Wenping said, "Close the door on your way out."
