Chapter 1186: First Meeting with Tong Lei's Daughter

"Daddy, if you miss Xi'er, please come home soon, okay?"

As she spoke, Xiao Zhixi brought the phone closer to her ear, tilting her head slightly and looking expectantly into her big eyes.

Lin Lang saw this scene through the [View Sharing] instant video, and his heart melted as he listened to his daughter's sweet, childlike voice expressing her longing.

"My darling Xi'er, Daddy is going home to be with you and Mommy right now. What do you want to eat? Daddy will buy it for you."

Little Zhixi blinked and replied playfully, "I want a strawberry lollipop, and I also want Daddy to hold me, lift me up high, and spin me around!"

Tong Lei watched from the side and couldn't help but reach out and rub her daughter's soft hair. Little Zhixi snuggled into her mother's arms, her delicate and beautiful appearance was extremely cute.

Hearing his daughter's soft voice, Lin Lang felt a sweet warmth in his heart and couldn't help but reply indulgently, "Okay, Daddy will buy you lots and lots of snacks to take home later. What toy do you want?"

Little Zhixi wiggled her little feet back and forth, squinted her eyes, and smiled sweetly, "I want a Barbie doll."

Lin Lang replied indulgently, "Okay, Daddy will call your third uncle right now and have him devise a plan to acquire the Barbie brand and go to the United States to acquire Mattel Toys."

Tong Lei, who was holding Xiao Zhixi, quickly took the phone and said, "Honey, don't spoil the child like this! Xi'er only said she wanted a Barbie doll, and you immediately sent people to acquire the parent company of the Barbie doll brand."

Lin Lang replied arrogantly, "My precious daughter, if I don't spoil her, who will?"

"That's settled then. The first thing we'll do after successfully acquiring Mattel is to have the Barbie designers create a limited-edition Barbie doll exclusively for Xi'er."

"Alright, honey, once you've made up your mind, no one can change it." Tong Lei smiled wryly.

Little Zhixi shouted into the phone, "Daddy, come back soon! Xi'er and Mommy miss you so much!"

The little guy's sweet, childlike voice, filled with affection, was clearly transmitted to Lin Lang's ears through the speakerphone, enough to melt anyone's heart.

Lin Lang readily and gently agreed, "Okay, okay, Daddy will go buy you a Barbie doll and some yummy treats right now. You play with Mommy for a while, and Daddy will be home soon."

"Okay!" Xiao Zhixi giggled sweetly.

During the call, Tong Lei gently asked, "Honey, what would you like to eat for dinner? I'll cook it for you myself."

Lin Lang asked affectionately, "Xi'er, what would you like to eat for dinner?"

Little Zhixi replied in her childish voice, "Xi'er wants to eat sweet and sour pork with pineapple made by Daddy. I want to eat meat."

Tong Lei pinched her daughter's chubby cheeks and said with a smile, "Little one, you even ordered food? What little girl loves meat so much?"

Xiao Zhixi pouted and said, "No, I want to eat meat."

Tong Lei said with a sigh, "There's really nothing I can do, honey. Your precious daughter can't live without meat and is a picky eater. She doesn't like vegetables except for the ones wrapped in fillings."

Lin Lang smiled after hearing this and said affectionately, "What child isn't a picky eater? Just give Xi'er more vegetarian dumplings or small vegetarian buns for her main meals to balance out the meat and vegetable diet."

Looking at her adorable and mischievous daughter in her arms, Tong Lei said helplessly, "There's no other way, this is all we can do!"

"Xi'er, say goodbye to Daddy. I'm going to buy you a Barbie doll now." Lin Lang's voice was so gentle.

Little Zhixi said in her childish voice, "Goodbye, Daddy!"

Tong Lei handed the phone to her daughter and coaxed, "Xi'er, give Daddy a flying kiss."

"Pop..." Little Zhixi gave her own little hand a quick kiss, then moved her hand away to complete the flying kiss gesture. It was incredibly endearing.

"Haha..." Lin Lang laughed and hung up the phone.

After turning off Tong Lei's "View Sharing", Lin Lang's mind was filled with the innocent and adorable image of Xiao Zhixi.

This deep bond of blood ties is the most precious connection, and Lin Lang regards it as the most valuable treasure in his life.

Because there was no Barbie flagship store in Shanghai in 2005, Lin Lang snapped his fingers and summoned three clones.

The first clone used the [Space-Time Mass Teleportation] skill to travel to the Toys "R" Us chain store in New York, USA, and bought hundreds of Barbie dolls for Xiao Zhixi, storing them in the shared personal space.

The second clone used the wall-penetrating technique to leave the Tomson Riviera mansion and headed to the nearby Zhengda Plaza to buy various snacks for Xiao Zhixi and store them in the shared personal space.

The third clone went to the nearby seafood market to buy vegetables, seafood and other ingredients to satisfy Xiao Zhixi's craving for Lin Lang's sweet and sour pork with pineapple.

It has to be said that Lin Lang really dotes on his and Tong Lei's daughter, Lin Zhixi.

After getting up and dressing, Lin Lang used an odor removal technique to get rid of the lingering scent of Yang Mi on his body.

Then, Lin Lang walked towards the bathroom and, through the frosted glass door, listened to the sound of the showerhead and said, "Honey, I have to go now, bye!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi, who was taking a shower, immediately turned off the showerhead, and the water stopped.

The next second, she opened the bathroom door a crack and shyly kissed Lin Lang goodbye.

After a sweet kiss, Lin Lang bid farewell to Yang Mi.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Lang used the [Lover's Gravity Instant Teleport] skill, and in the blink of an eye, he "whooshed" back to Tong Lei and her daughter's side.

Colorful building blocks were scattered on the living room carpet. Little Zhixi sat cross-legged with her little bottom slightly sticking up, her chubby little hands clumsily stacking the blocks into a crooked "little house".

Her head was bowed low, her long eyelashes fluttering like two small fans, and she muttered softly, "Barbie's house should be piled high, like a princess's castle."

When the third layer was built, the blocks collapsed with a "crash".

Little Zhixi didn't throw a tantrum. She just wrinkled her small nose, poked the scattered building blocks with her chubby fingers, and muttered softly, "The building blocks are being disobedient!"

As she spoke, she picked up another pink building block and carefully placed it on top of the other one, her little feet gently rubbing against the carpet, looking both adorable and earnest.

Just then, Xiao Zhixi caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. She suddenly raised her head, and her big eyes, which had been focused, instantly lit up as if they were filled with stars. Her sparkling eyes immediately fixed on Lin Lang.

She paused for two seconds, then grinned sweetly, revealing her pearly white baby teeth.

Then, little Zhixi scrambled up from the carpet, staggered towards Lin Lang, raised her little arms high, and shouted, "Daddy! Daddy's back!"

Lin Lang's heart was instantly filled with that soft, sweet call. He quickly stepped forward and hugged his daughter, who rushed towards him, into his arms.

The little one's body was soft and had a faint milky smell.

Lin Lang couldn't resist kissing his daughter's smooth little face, leaving a warm lip print on her rosy cheeks.

He looked down at Xiao Zhixi, his eyes and brows filled with undisguised doting affection.

"My precious daughter is so beautiful! Look at her big eyes, which are just like your mommy's. Her little nose and mouth are so delicate and exquisite. She is simply Daddy's darling."

He gently pinched his daughter's chubby cheeks; they felt so soft, and his heart was filled with sweetness.

Little Zhixi giggled sweetly in Lin Lang's arms; the little one was overjoyed to see Lin Lang.

"Honey, why are you back so soon?" Tong Lei came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of washed cherry tomatoes. Seeing the heartwarming scene of Lin Lang holding their daughter, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

Lin Lang turned to the side and kissed Tong Lei on the cheek, his voice gentle and doting: "Xi'er said you all missed me, how could I keep you waiting? I wish I could fly to your side right away."

Tong Lei picked up a cherry tomato and fed it to Lin Lang, saying coquettishly, "You have such a sweet tongue."

Lin Lang smiled as he chewed the cherry tomatoes, the sweet and sour juice bursting in his mouth, the taste refreshing and crisp.

Little Zhixi wrapped her arms around Lin Lang's neck, cupped his cheeks with her little hands, gently rubbed his chin with her soft fingertips, and looked at Lin Lang with bright, sparkling eyes, asking questions in her childish voice.

"Daddy, where's the strawberry lollipop you promised to buy me?"

Lin Lang's smile deepened. He reached into the air and took out a strawberry-flavored lollipop from his personal space. The pink and white candy was wrapped in a wrapper printed with strawberry patterns, making it look particularly tempting.

He held the lollipop up in front of his daughter, deliberately drawing out the sound: "Ta-da! Here's the lollipop Xi'er wanted!"

Xiao Zhixi's eyes instantly curved into crescent moons, her mouth stretched to her ears, and she squinted her eyes, letting out a sweet "giggle" laugh, rubbing her little head against Lin Lang's chest.

"Thank you, Daddy! Xi'er loves it!" That soft, sweet voice was filled with joy, warming everyone's heart.

Tong Lei first placed the plate of cherry tomatoes she was holding on the coffee table, then smiled and took the lollipop from Lin Lang's hand.

"Come on, let Mommy help you open the candy wrapper. Be careful not to get your little hands sticky." She deftly peeled off the candy wrapper, and a rich, sweet strawberry aroma immediately filled the air.

Little Zhixi couldn't wait to reach out her little hand, tightly grasp the lollipop, bring it to her lips, and carefully lick it.

The sweet taste melted on her tongue, and she squinted her eyes contentedly, her little face flushed with happiness. She mumbled, "So sweet, so delicious!"

Lin Lang watched his daughter eat with a satisfied expression, his eyes overflowing with doting affection, and said with a smile, "Xi'er, who do you take after to be so cute?"

With a lollipop in her mouth, Xiao Zhixi smiled sweetly and mumbled, "I look like Mommy!"

Tong Lei stood to the side, unable to hide her happiness, and reached out to smooth the stray hairs on her daughter's forehead: "Oh my, our Xi'er has such a sweet mouth!"

Little Zhixi smiled and looked at Lin Lang, holding a lollipop in her hand, and asked, "Daddy, did you buy me a Barbie doll?"

Lin Lang deliberately exaggerated his expression and replied, "What if Daddy forgets?"

Little Zhixi pouted, tears welling up in her eyes. She sniffled and looked at Tong Lei in a tearful voice, muttering, "Mommy, hug me!"

Lin Lang chuckled softly, "Don't cry, baby. How could Daddy forget to buy you a Barbie doll!"

As he spoke, he freed one hand, took out a pink Barbie doll gift box from his personal storage space, and handed it to Xiao Zhixi. "Xi'er, look, do you like it?"

Upon seeing the Barbie doll gift box, Xiao Zhixi's eyes lit up immediately. She leaned forward, craning her neck to look closer, and exclaimed with a sweet smile, "Wow, I love it! Such a beautiful Barbie doll!"

Tong Lei gently pinched Xiao Zhixi's nose and teased her with a smile, "You little rascal, you have hundreds of Barbie dolls at home, and you just love to dress them up in all sorts of outfits. I just can't do anything with you."
