Every time when this happened, he really wanted to hold the girl in his arms and love her, but he thought of the doctor's instructions and held back.
After getting in the car, Lao Wu handed over a mobile phone: "The hospital's phone number."
Xi Xiangdong mysteriously walked outside the car to answer the call.
Shen Ke was waiting for him in the car with Duoduo in his arms. When he saw him getting in the car, he asked, "Are you sick? Why do you want to go to the hospital?"
His words were vague: "It's okay, it's just a minor problem. I'm just going to get some medicine."
Shen Ke believed it to be true.
Xi is always a busy person. After a short drive, he saw that he had answered several calls. One of them asked him to go back to the company to sign a bonus settlement. It involved the livelihood of employees and could not be delayed, so Shen Ke said: "It's all my fault." Okay, I made a big fuss and called you out, please go back and do your work."
He looked at his watch: "There's nothing to do. Just wait for me and we'll have dinner together in the evening."
Shen Ke wanted to refuse, but the cunning Mr. Xi had already gone to seek help from his little compatriots: "Duoduo, let's have dinner with my uncle tonight. Can we discuss what kind of show we should perform in the parent-child competition?"
Mr. Xi can coax his opponents into coaxing at the negotiation table, but he can't coax a child easily.
Shen Ke had no choice but to follow him back to the company.
It happened to be off-duty time, and people were coming and going at the elevator entrance of the office building. When Xi Xiangdong was holding a four-year-old girl with a pink jade bracelet carved in his hand, he immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Duoduo is a cheerful child, with big round eyes. When she sees someone teasing her with a smile, she smiles and blinks back, which makes a bunch of adults feel happy.
Xi Xiangdong pushed open the office door, and Shen Ke said, "Duoduo and I will wait for you at the door."
After all, it is a place of work.
Xi Xiangdong disagreed: "What's the difference? It's just a signature and it won't disturb me."
Entering the office cubicle, Shen Ke was stunned.
Most of the people in the entertainment company were running around outside during working hours, and not many stayed in the cubicle. Now all the female employees were wearing serious work clothes, still in the style of tops and trousers, and they could no longer see black stockings. Short skirts are gone, and even professional white-collar attire is gone.
I couldn't help but think of the last time I complained about Mandy's black stockings in the public relations department. Looking at the seats in the public relations department, the woman named Mandy was long gone.
Shen Ke bit his lip, wondering if he deliberately brought her back to the company for "acceptance", so he had to pretend not to see it and followed him into the president's office silently.
Xi Xiangdong carried Duoduo to the sofa and gave her an iPad to play with.
Shen Ke declined: "The child is so young, how can he play?"
"Who said that? Don't underestimate today's children."
As soon as he finished speaking, Duoduo raised his little face, pointed to a rope-cutting game inside and said, "This little girl's father taught her how to play this game when he came to pick her up last time."
Xi Xiangdong touched the child's head: "Can you let mommy teach you how to play?"
The secretary came in to bring tea, and Xi Xiangdong specifically asked the child to give him a glass of juice, adding: "Heat it."
Shen Ke felt that he had truly regarded Duoduo as his own. But there was no problem between him and her. They all wanted a child of their own.
Xi Xiangdong sat down at his desk and began to read the report. Shen Ke held Duoduo in his arms and taught her to play the game one by one.
It was late spring in Beijing, with light snow falling outside. Xi Xiangdong occasionally raised his head from the report table. Just one glance at the mother and daughter made the whole office feel warm.
