Chapter 13: Taking the Child to the Company

Chengcheng stared with her big, dark, round eyes at Old Mrs. Chi, eager to see if she could glean anything from her expression.

Instead, she heard Old Mrs. Chi say to Chi Wenting

"You have to admit, even though Chengcheng isn't our own flesh and blood, she’s truly beautiful and fits in well with our family."

"In the future, if we tell people she and Tiantian are twins, no one will doubt it." After all, both children were so beautiful that no one would question them being twins.

Chi Wenting nodded in agreement, his large hand pinching Chengcheng’s chubby ear. "This little brat is decent-looking, I suppose."

Big eyes, long lashes—she looked just like a doll.

"But not as pretty as my Tiantian."

After all, praising Tiantian was the same as praising himself; he was a handsome man, after all.

Chengcheng: "..."

So, Grandma hadn't figured out at all that she was a Chi family child? She only wanted her to be part of the family out of pity?

Chengcheng couldn't help but sigh, her little head drooping in discouragement.

It seemed the "not knowing her true identity" setting wasn't going to change anytime soon.

She would just have to wait until she grew up to see if she could get a paternity test.

Seeing her little slumped figure, Chi Wenting flicked his index finger against her chubby, strawberry-patterned diaper.

The force wasn't great, but the insult was immense.

Chengcheng pouted, let out a "Waaah," and started to cry.

"Wuu wuu~~ Nei nei nei~~"

So angry!

Old Mrs. Chi immediately felt her heart ache. She picked her up to soothe her. "Oh, oh, don't cry, don't cry. Your daddy is too mean; Grandma will hit him for you."

As she spoke, she glared at Chi Wenting. "Are you looking for a beating?"

He was so old, yet still so childish, bullying a little baby.

"If you act like this again, I won't let you hold her."

Seeing Chengcheng cry, Tiantian immediately pursed her little lips, ready to cry too.

With both children about to wail, Old Mrs. Chi felt a headache coming on.

Chi Wenting remained unruffled. He took Chengcheng into his arms and negotiated with her face-to-face. "If you stop crying, I'll buy you toys tonight. If you keep crying, I won't take you to the office later."

Chengcheng’s sobbing paused, and sure enough, she stopped crying.

She didn't really care about the toys; she mostly wanted to go to the office with Chi Wenting to take a look.

In her past life, there had been a mole in the Chi Corporation, which had once pushed the company into a crisis.

Now that she had been reborn, she absolutely could not let a mole harm the Chi family business again.

Seeing her stop crying, Chi Wenting assumed she just wanted toys. He rubbed her head, his tone softening just a little. "Alright, wipe your nose, we're leaving."

Old Mrs. Chi was relieved to see he actually knew how to coax her.

She placed both children in the stroller. "Take them for a walk, then let Auntie Fang bring them back. I'll be home waiting for them."

Chi Wenting was amused by his mother’s lack of trust in him.

"No."

With that, he pushed the stroller away.

Old Mrs. Chi pointed at his back for a long time, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to say a word.

After all, he was her own son; scolding him was like scolding herself, so she had to let it go.

Fortunately, Auntie Fang followed along to help look after them.

The two children sat in the baby seats in the back, one on the left and one on the right, with Chi Wenting sitting in the middle.

Auntie Fang sat in the front, carrying a large diaper bag.

Chi Wenting was in a great mood, the corners of his mouth turned up the entire way, as if bringing children to work was a joyous occasion.

When the car arrived at the office, Chi Wenting got out. Just as Auntie Fang was about to put the two children in the stroller, Chi Wenting said there was no need.

"I'll carry them."

He said this while picking up both children at once, one in each arm.

He exercised year-round and had strong arms.

Holding two chubby babies was no problem at all.

Tiantian wrapped her little hands around his neck, afraid of falling.

Chengcheng, however, mischievously grabbed his ear.

If he shook her, she would pull his ear.

Seeing her smug little expression, Chi Wenting guessed the little girl was deliberately retaliating against him.

He glanced at Chengcheng with his dark eyes, warning her, "If you pull my ear off, I'm changing your diaper to the poop-patterned one."

Chengcheng, who had just been about to pinch his ear, silently lowered her little hand, not daring to pinch anymore.

She could accept wearing a strawberry-patterned diaper, but she really couldn't handle a poop-patterned one.

Seeing her know when to back down, Chi Wenting curled his lips in satisfaction.

The girl wasn't good at much, but her ability to read the room was something he found satisfactory.

In high spirits, Chi Wenting carried the two children into the company.

The front desk staff were stunned the moment they saw him carrying two cute, mixed-race-looking babies.

"Is... is that our CEO Chi??"

"Am I seeing things?"

"It’s definitely CEO Chi, but what do those two children have to do with him?"

Chi Wenting had always been quite famous throughout the office building.

First, because of his deep family roots. Second, because of his high competence, deep facial features, and great proportions; for years, he had been the favorite board member among the company's female employees.

Plus, he hadn't been involved with any women over the years, so everyone assumed he was single, making them covet him even more.

No one expected Chi Wenting to suddenly appear carrying two cute babies, causing everyone to cast sidelong glances.

"Good morning, CEO Chi."

A male employee greeted him first, though he didn't dare look too closely.

The other female employees followed suit.

"Good morning, CEO Chi."

Chi Wenting gave a calm "Hmm" and carried the children to the private elevator.

The group of female employees stomped their feet in excitement as they watched him enter the elevator with the two adorable babies.

"Oh my god, I just got a closer look, those two babies are just too cute, their looks are off the charts, I’m going to faint from the cuteness~"

"I know, I saw them too, those babies are so beautiful, their eyelashes are longer than the ones I’ve had grafted."

Although Chengcheng and Tiantian were wearing baby masks, their eyes were so beautiful that they were stunning at first glance.

The female employees were incredibly excited and hurriedly asked in the company's small group chat.

"To those on the upper floors, remember to check if the two babies the CEO is bringing up look like him. Those two babies are just too cute~"

The employees on the upper floors were confused. "What babies? Why would the CEO bring children to the company?"

In their impression, Chi Wenting had always been stern and humorless.

Not only was he humorless, but he was also extremely strict. Any mistake in a document would result in a harsh reprimand.

Therefore, the admiration the female employees on the 53rd floor had once felt for Chi Wenting had turned into fear; they didn't dare think about him in any other way.

They couldn't imagine the scene of the "headmaster-like" CEO bringing children to work.

Just as they were talking, the elevator "dinged" and opened.

The female employees looked up and saw Chi Wenting actually carrying two doll-like babies to work, and their eyes widened instantly.

"My god, this..."

Two female employees whispered, "No way, is the CEO really bringing kids to work?"

But whose children were they?

"I haven't heard anything about CEO Chi getting married?"

The female employees couldn't guess and didn't dare ask, so they could only sneak peeks at the children's faces.

"I think the baby with the big double eyelids looks quite a bit like our CEO. The smaller one must look like the mother, right?"

Because Chi Wenting and Lan Jiaojiao were in a secret relationship, no one knew he had a secret lover.

Chi Wenting was aware of the female employees' gossip. He looked back and swept a cold glance over them. "If you want to look, look openly. These two are my daughters."
