#7 - Chapter 7: Mom, you have to call me hubby!

"Beep!"

Lin Chen's phone rang.

The caller ID looked a bit strange, so he hung up directly.

But soon, the other party persistently called again.

"Hello—"

Lin Chen answered the phone this time.

Xu Mengyao's voice came from the phone: "Lin Chen, it's me. How is Qianqian? Is she doing well with you?"

Lin Chen: "She's doing great."

"Let me have Xiao Qian answer the phone."

He muttered to himself, didn't Xu Mengyao say not to call him unless it was important? Does she miss Xiao Qian? She called so quickly.

"Xiao Qian, wait a moment, don't draw anymore. Mommy is calling."

Lin Chen put the phone on speaker and handed it to Lin Xiaoqian.

Lin Xiaoqian held the phone with both hands and happily said, "Mommy, where are you? Qianqian misses you so much."

Xu Mengyao's nose tingled on the other end of the phone.

"Mommy misses Qianqian too."

"Qianqian, are you doing well with Daddy?"

Lin Xiaoqian giggled and said, "Mommy, I'm very good. Daddy's cooking is delicious. Daddy is so awesome, so awesome."

"Even more awesome than Yangyang's daddy."

"Mommy, come quickly, let's sleep together. That way, when Qianqian wakes up, she can see Daddy and Mommy at the same time."

Xu Mengyao's face turned slightly red.

Although she had a relationship with Lin Chen and had a child, she was drugged that night, and her memory was very vague.

Lin Chen secretly gave Lin Xiaoqian a thumbs up.

Good daughter!

"Lin Chen, are you nearby?"

"Can you go a little further away? I want to chat with Qianqian."

Xu Mengyao said.

Lin Xiaoqian said in a childish voice, "Mommy, other mommies call their husbands 'husband,' you should call him 'husband' too."

Lin Chen quickly said, "I'm going to the bathroom, you guys chat."

Soon, he walked away.

"Qianqian, Mommy and Daddy's situation is a bit special. You can't say things like that again in the future, understand?"

Xu Mengyao instructed.

After saying that, she found it a bit funny herself.

Lin Xiaoqian is only two years old, can she remember?

"Qianqian, are you happy with Daddy? If you're not happy, Mommy will have Aunt Qingqing pick you up."

Xu Mengyao said.

Lin Xiaoqian said anxiously, "Mommy, I don't want to leave. I like Daddy, Daddy is the best daddy in the world."

Xu Mengyao sighed inwardly.

As expected, blood is thicker than water.

Lin Xiaoqian has become so attached to Lin Chen in such a short time.

"Qianqian, Mommy is a bit busy and might be late getting back. You have to listen to Daddy and eat properly, understand?"

"Don't worry, Mommy, I'm a good baby."

"Okay, okay... Qianqian is the best."

After chatting for a while, Xu Mengyao hung up the phone. She wasn't in the mood to chat too much right now, as her mother had just entered the operating room.

"Mengyao, is Qianqian alright?"

Xu Mengyao's father, Xu Guofeng, asked.

He also missed Lin Xiaoqian, but he didn't want to speak up, otherwise Lin Xiaoqian would definitely want to talk to her grandmother, and her grandmother wasn't available right now.

"Qianqian is fine."

"Lin Chen is Qianqian's father after all, and Qianqian is very close to him."

Xu Mengyao said.

Xu Guofeng nodded: "Lin Chen is Qianqian's father, and you are her mother, but you must maintain your distance. You and Lin Chen are from two different worlds."

"Dad isn't looking down on him, it's just that your social classes are too far apart. You would be wronged if you were with him."

Xu Mengyao nodded slightly.

"Dad believes you will definitely find your ideal match."

Xu Mengyao remained silent.

The events of that year left her with psychological trauma, and she had no intention of finding another man or entering into marriage.

"Dad, if Mom's surgery is successful this time, will you be able to return to the country and regain control of the company?"

Xu Mengyao asked.

Xu Guofeng shook his head: "Even if the surgery is successful, she will definitely need to rest for a few months. How can we rush back to the country so quickly?"

"You just keep managing the company, it's good like this. Anyway, the family's company will eventually be under your control."

Xu Mengyao: "..."

"Dad, you didn't say that at the beginning. You initially said to let me manage it for three to five months, but it's been over a year now. Are you trying to retire before you even turn fifty?"

Xu Guofeng coughed lightly: "Dad can't help it. Your mother's condition is serious, and I have to be with her."

"The facts prove that you're doing a great job."

Xu Mengyao frowned and said: "But I'm too busy. Managing the company, I don't have much time to spend with Qianqian."

Xu Guofeng said: "Mengyao, just manage it for another half a year. In another half a year, your mother should have recovered almost completely."

"Half a year... alright."

"I only plan to have Lin Chen take care of her for a maximum of half a year. When Qianqian starts kindergarten, I'll have to spend more time with her."

Xu Mengyao said.

"Okay."

Xu Guofeng nodded.

...

"Daddy, have you and Mommy divorced?"

Lin Xiaoqian asked in a childish voice.

"Huh?"

Lin Chen looked at Lin Xiaoqian, "Qianqian, do you know what 'divorce' means?"

Lin Xiaoqian nodded: "I know. Yuanyuan's mommy and daddy divorced, she said her daddy doesn't want her anymore."

Lin Chen picked up Lin Xiaoqian.

"Qianqian, Mommy and Daddy will never abandon you. Mommy and Daddy are not divorced, don't think nonsense, okay?"

Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoqian.

If they want to divorce, he and Xu Mengyao have to get married first.

"Qianqian, can you write your own name?"

"Daddy will teach you, okay?"

Lin Chen asked.

"Okay, okay."

Lin Xiaoqian's attention was quickly diverted.

Lin Chen prepared paper and pen and started teaching.

Five minutes passed.

"Host, your calligraphy skill is starting to improve. Practice for ten hours to reach Grandmaster level, twenty hours to reach Great Grandmaster level."

The system's voice sounded.

A faint smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.

As expected, teaching Lin Xiaoqian to write will improve his calligraphy.

His original handwriting was very ordinary, and he didn't know how to write with a brush at all. Improving his calligraphy will improve both his pen and brush skills.

He will be able to write in various styles from different dynasties with ease.

"Daddy, my name is so hard to write."

"Can I just be called Lin Yiyi in the future?"

Half an hour passed, and Lin Xiaoqian said with a sad face.

Lin Chen kissed her little face: "Qianqian, that won't do. How can we give up because of such a small difficulty? Our Qianqian is the best."

"Don't worry, Daddy will definitely teach you."

Lin Xiaoqian nodded.

Lin Chen continued to teach her for another half an hour.

Lin Xiaoqian is so young, it's great that she can persevere for an hour.

"Qianqian, what do you want to do next?"

Lin Xiaoqian said expectantly: "Daddy, I want to go to the amusement park. I've been to the amusement park with Mommy, the amusement park is so fun."

Lin Chen touched her little face and smiled: "Then we'll go to the amusement park, but Qianqian, we've agreed, we can't go often, you still have to study, right?"

"Okay, okay."

Lin Xiaoqian nodded obediently.

An hour later, Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoqian arrived at the amusement park.

"Daddy, I want to play that one."

"Mommy took me to play that one too, hee hee."

Lin Xiaoqian pointed to the carousel not far away.
