"Don't say silly things. Adults can't just kiss in public, you know?"
Xu Mengyao pinched Lin Xiaoxi's little cheek and said, "Play nicely with Yiyi and the others. You'll be going to your dad's place soon, and you won't see them for a while."
"Sister Song, I'll be leaving now."
Song Sisi nodded.
She felt somewhat puzzled. Xu Mengyao seemed to have a decent relationship with Lin Chen, but Lin Xiaoxi was now living with Lin Chen elsewhere, while Xu Mengyao was still living here.
If their relationship was good, why were they living separately?
It didn't make sense that Lin Chen's house was far from Xu Mengyao's company. With Xu Mengyao's financial resources, why would that be a problem?
She could easily buy a place near Lin Chen's company.
Soon, Xu Mengyao left.
Xiaoxi continued playing with Yiyi.
"Lin-ge, how did you teach Xiaoxi? She's changed so much compared to before. I'd like to pick your brain."
While the two little ones were playing, Song Sisi asked sincerely.
Lin Chen: "How was Xiaoxi before?"
Song Sisi thought for a moment and said, "Xiaoxi is a smart child, but she used to be quite introverted. Even when playing with familiar children, she wasn't very proactive."
"Her speech wasn't as fluent as it is now."
"Yiyi is a few months older than her, and Yiyi used to speak more fluently. Now, Xiaoxi is like a little adult, and Yiyi is clearly a step behind her."
"Do you have any secret techniques?"
Lin Chen muttered inwardly, I have a system that can carry Lin Xiaoxi to new heights.
Any of his skills reaching Grandmaster Level, or even Legendary Level, could give Lin Xiaoxi some level of improvement.
"I wouldn't say I have any secret techniques."
"Xiaoxi spent most of her time with a nanny before, and for safety reasons, the nanny might have restricted her."
"When I'm with Xiaoxi, I encourage her to try things boldly."
Song Sisi nodded, "It seems it's still because Xiaoxi is smart, it's just that it wasn't properly brought out before."
Lin Chen smiled, "Every child is a treasure. We, as parents, need to learn how to excavate them."
"A child's poor performance in studies doesn't mean they aren't intelligent."
"In the natural world, all kinds of animals have their strengths. It's wrong to consider speed as the only standard."
Song Sisi nodded gently.
"Lin-ge, what industry are you in? Maybe we'll have a chance to cooperate in the future."
Lin Chen thought for a moment. He currently earned money mainly from fairy tale creation.
He also knew calligraphy and painting; would that make him an artist?
"I'm in the art industry, I suppose," Lin Chen said with a smile.
"Dad, can you teach Yiyi and me to play ball?"
Lin Xiaoxi ran over and said in a milky voice.
"Of course, I can."
"But what do we do since we don't have a ball right now?"
Lin Chen squatted down and asked.
Lin Xiaoxi thought for a moment: "We can go back and get one."
Song Sisi asked, "Xiaoxi, what kind of ball do you want to play? Auntie can call someone to bring one over."
"Basketball! Dad is the best at basketball."
Lin Xiaoxi said with a little smugness.
Her little friends all had fathers, but she hadn't before. She wanted her friends to know she had a father now.
And her father was the most amazing father.
Song Sisi quickly made a phone call.
Soon, someone delivered a basketball.
Lin Chen started teaching the two little ones basketball. Gradually, the two little ones became three, then four.
Lin Xiaoxi's friends all came out.
Lin Chen earnestly played with the little ones. He was enjoying it, and he gained quite a bit of experience every second.
His basketball skills were now at Grandmaster Level. Coupled with his powerful physique, his level was top-tier globally, but in terms of pure technique, he wasn't yet at the world's top level.
"Lin Chen's skills seem even better than a basketball coach."
"He's very serious when he's with the kids."
"It's a shame he's President Xu's husband. We can't afford a coach like that."
Three mothers were gathered together, discussing.
"Daddy, I'm a little tired." "Daddy, can you tell us a story?"
An hour passed, and Lin Xiaoxi looked up and said.
"Sure."
"You all, go sit over there."
Lin Chen smiled.
Soon, he began to tell Lin Xiaoxi and the others a story, vividly describing it. The stories were all in his mind; he didn't need a book at all.
With his Legendary Level fairy tale creation skill, his storytelling was captivating, and Lin Xiaoxi and the others listened very intently.
Song Sisi and the others watched from not far away.
They were amazed.
"Daddy, I want to hear another story."
"Uncle, I also want to hear another one."
After a story finished, Lin Xiaoxi and the others chimed in.
Lin Chen smiled and began to speak again.
"I understand why Xiaoxi has changed so much; Lin Chen's companionship has been of high quality."
"Indeed."
Unknowingly, it was already evening.
Xu Mengyao returned, coming home much earlier than usual.
As soon as she opened the door, Xu Mengyao smelled a fragrance.
A warm current surged within her.
"Mom!"
Lin Xiaoxi ran over happily.
"Xiaoxi, did you have fun today?"
Xu Mengyao picked up Lin Xiaoxi and kissed her.
Lin Xiaoxi said joyfully, "Mom, I had so much fun today. Yiyi and the others all know I have a dad, and my dad is the very best!"
"What did Dad do with you?"
Lin Xiaoxi bent her fingers: "We played basketball, Dad told us stories, taught us to sing, and Dad also taught us to draw."
"I drew the best, hehe."
Lin Chen walked out of the kitchen, smiling. "Xiaoxi just dragged me out today to show off in front of her little friends."
"I almost had everything I knew wrung out of me."
Xu Mengyao said, "She used to envy others who had fathers. Xiaoxi, you don't envy Yiyi and the others anymore, do you?"
Lin Xiaoxi shook her head repeatedly.
"I don't envy them anymore."
"Because I have the best dad in the world."
Lin Xiaoxi said sweetly, "Mom, are you working tomorrow?"
"I'm not working tomorrow, what's up?"
Lin Xiaoxi's eyes lit up. "Mom, can I invite Yiyi and the others tomorrow? Let them come over for a meal?"
Xu Mengyao said, "You should ask Dad. Because Dad's the one cooking, it'll be a bit tough on him if you invite your little friends over."
"I already asked Dad."
"Dad said it's okay."
Lin Xiaoxi said.
Xu Mengyao said, "If Dad agrees, then of course you can."
She looked at Lin Chen, "Lin Chen, do you think we should just invite Xiaoxi's friends, or should we invite their mothers too? It'll be a lot of people if we include the adults."
Lin Chen said, "Invite the adults too. Today Xiaoxi showed off her dad, tomorrow let you show off your husband."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
Her face flushed slightly, and she chided, "What's there to show off?"
Lin Xiaoxi: "Mommy, Daddy is the best."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "You two go wash your hands and eat."
Xu Mengyao: "Lin Chen, would you like some wine? My dad called last night and asked me to bring you two bottles of the best."
Lin Chen chuckled and said, "I usually don't drink, but since my father-in-law has been so thoughtful, of course I have to try it."
"Hmph."
Xu Mengyao snorted softly.
Her dad wasn't Lin Chen's father-in-law, not yet anyway.
They hadn't even had a wedding.
