Meeting update:2022-07-11 16:41
He had lived for more than twenty years and this was the first time he got slapped in the face. If she didn’t call him daddy again for the sake of this slap, Mu Chen would think that he didn’t get what he was supposed to get.
The little thing was annoyed from the noises and turned around, spitting out a word milkily, “Daddy……”
Mu Chen’s mumbling paused and his lips curved upwards at it.
*
As he carried the little thing back home, he saw Special Assistant Zhao and Liu whispering to each other there.
Mu Chen snorted coldly. Did these people really think his home was a shelter for refugees?
If those two dogs’ assistants came, it would only get noisier in the future.
The man looked down and the little thing rubbed her eyes, slowing waking up.
He put her down and Ye Sang swayed her little head as she wanted to find her other two daddies, but she didn’t find them after glancing around the room.
She pouted slightly and looked upset.
Mu Chen saw her disappointed face and felt jealousy taking over him. He pulled a fake smile and said, “You don’t want them to leave that bad?”
“They just went out,” he sneered, “It’s not like they won’t come back.”
Because Mu Chen’s voice was full of jealousy, it was hard for the little girl to not notice.
She tilted her head to the side, “Uncle……”
“W-What’s wrong?”
Mu Chen smiled and breathed deeply, then replied two words clearly while staring at her innocent face: “I’m sour.”
Ye Sang: “???”
The little thing was still confused, “W-Why are you sour?”
Mu Chen didn’t want to talk to her anymore and replied unkindly, “Because uncle is a lemon!”
Ye Sang: “.……”
Why so mad?
The little thing humphed and walked away.
Because she couldn’t find the other two daddies to act cute, she swayed the strand of hair on her head and ran to Special Assistant Liu and Zhao.
“Uncle……”
Her milky voice was sweet.
Mu Chen: “.……” He felt even unhappier now.
This brat calls everyone uncle.
He was literally nothing to her.
“We are going.” He suppressed the urge to curse and picked up the little thing that was at the center of attention.
She swayed her legs and whispered unhappily, “Uncle is a lemon.”
Although she didn’t understand what it meant, it didn’t stop her from saying it.
Mu Chen choked and clenched his teeth, “Shut it.”
The little thing puffed her cheeks and widened her cat eyes a little, “You cursed at me.”
The man paused for a second. He remembered what those people from the research institute said and he couldn’t help but smile.
Mu Chen: “You really……”
He forced his smile down, “Do look like a meme.”
Ye Sang’s strand of hair shot up on her head and puffed her face furiously into a ball. She doesn’t look like a meme!
*
When Huo Yao and Shen Chuchen came back together in the afternoon, the big one and the small one were staring at each other in the living room.
“Daddy!” When she heard footsteps and wanted to throw herself into one of them, someone stopped her.
Huo Yao frowned and studied her carefully, then he noticed the cream on her palm.
The wound wasn’t big.
But it made his chest feel stuffy.
Shen Chuchen smiled and kissed her cheek, “Tell us, how did you get bullied again?”
He said “again” and obviously, she was bullied more than once.
Villains didn’t need good values and these two didn’t even bother to ask what happened.
She was their child and even if someone was wrong, it would be the other person who was wrong.
Ye Sang nudged into Huo Yao’s arms and looked down lazily, “She pushed Sangsang……”
The man hugged his chubby daughter and flickered her forehead lightly, “I’ll hit her back for you next time.”
Ahem.
Although he already did.
But it doesn’t matter.
Who said he could only do it once?
Mu Chen’s eyelids twitched at the sight of two grown-up men teaching their little friend screwed up values.
Very well.
He finally understood why she was so strange.
Because her fathers were.
The cozy atmosphere between the three made Mu Chen look exceptionally out of place.
“Since you are all asking about how she is, shouldn’t we have a think of what we are going to have for dinner tonight huh?”
The only person who would ruin the atmosphere was Lemon Mu.
But his question was a true question too.
Housekeeper Mu didn’t know how to cook and the person who was in charge of cooking left in the afternoon, and all the other maids left continuously by evening.
There were only these few familiar people left.
And the thing was that none of them knew how to cook.
Shen Chuchen took the child over and ordered sloppily, “Special Assistant Liu, you can go cook.”
Special Assistant Liu: “.…… Do I look like I know how to cook?”
Before his boss had a child, he was a big character here.
And now……
His bosses had all fallen and busy with raising a child, they didn’t even have time for other things anymore.
Shen Chuchen’s glance shifted to another person, “.…… Special Assistant Zhao, you?”
Special Assistant Zhao smiled awkwardly, “I can’t cook either.”
The man looked back slowly.
Fine.
Everyone sank into a long period of silence.
“Let’s order something.” Special Assistant Liu suggested.
And of course, no one had objections. ……
The process of waiting was always a long one. The little thing played with building block toys while Huo Yao and Shen Chuchen thoughtfully scrolled through the WeChat group chat for parents.
To be honest, it was their first time being a parent and they were unfamiliar with things like this.
[Ms. Liu: Please change your name in the chat for those parents who haven’t.]
[Huo Yao: ?]
What’s that?
[Shen Chuchen: ? I just got internet at home]
These two never paid any attention to the group chat and now that they were free, they checked it and found out…… they understood nothing.
Ms. Liu said these two’s names and her forehead throbbed as she explained weakly:
[Ms. Liu: change it to XXX’s parent]
Huo Yao, Shen Chuchen: Ah.
The two discussed together and decided to make it number one and number two.
And this made the other parents shocked.
All the children at the kindergarten were from big and wealthy families, even the group chat for parents was gathered with big characters.
And quite a few people recognized them.
When they saw the name change, the same question popped up in their head at the same time.
Damn.
These two have kids now?
He-tui!!
Why is their child the same person? ……
Shen Chuchen and Huo Yao had no idea how shocked others were.
They thoughtfully clicked into the list of test results the teacher sent in the chat.
Shen Chuchen: “.…… Maths, 58?”
When he questioned it, three fathers all looked at the little thing who was playing with toys at the same time.
Ye Sang: “.……”
Chapter 179: Three Villains Teaching Their Daughter (Part 1)
Ye Sang: “.……”
Why are you all looking at me?
The little thing pouted and hid herself a little as she opened her dark and soft cat eyes.
Mu Chen already had an idea of her vicious result.
Since he saw her suffocating result from a while ago, he thought that the idiom ‘children couldn’t be taught’ was right.
The two newly appointed fathers exchanged a glance at each other and then continued to look at the result list.
“Literature and language, 76,” Huo Yao spoke up this time. He raised his voice and he glanced at Ye Sang lightly, “Barely a pass.”
He frowned tightly and looked at Ye Sang without expressions, “Give us your test and let us see.”
To be honest, he never thought that he would be so fallen that he’d have to teach a child how to do her homework as a big villain.
The little thing’s dimples showed from pursing her lips together as she dawdled in her spot.
No.
She wanted to stay alive.
She can’t give it to them.
Ye Sang tried to protect the last bit of her pride as someone with bad grades and looked up while shaking her head, “Nah……”
Huo Yao raised an eyebrow and smiled. “I don’t repeat my words twice. Give it to me.”
Ye Sang shook her head. She saw her daddy’s gloomy expressions and she was afraid that he would die from fury once he saw it, so she put her hands behind her back and refused to give it to him no matter what.
She was doing this for his sake.
But what a shame that none of these three cheap daddies understood her.
Mu Chen raised an eyebrow and sounded exceptionally impolite as he sneered,
“What? Your test paper spent a week in your hands and you’ve bonded now? And don’t want to show us?”
The little thing’s eyes lit up and nodded smoothly, “That’s right.”
Mu Chen choked.
Doesn’t this brat understand human language?
“.……” Shen Chuchen was obviously not as mean as the other two.
He watched the two’s education method; one was mocking and ridiculing her, one was gloomily threatening her.
These two were definitely defined to be alone for the rest of their f****** life.
“Here, come to daddy.” The man’s gorgeous and soft voice sounded like it was spinning on the tip of her heart and his peach blossom-like eyes were filled with love.
This is what a kind father should be like!
What the hell were the other two?
They were appalling compared to him.
As expected, the little thing hesitated and slowly threw herself into Shen Chuchen’s arms.
Shen Chuchen looked down and patted her little head, then smiled through a snort as he glanced at the other two, “What’s wrong with failing? Who hasn’t failed once before?”
“It’s her first time, can’t you two stop attacking her?”
Mu Chen: “.…… Haha.”
Excuse me.
But he actually never failed a test before.
Huo Yao couldn’t comprehend it, “Is maths something that needs to be taught?”
Shouldn’t she know it as soon as she was born?
Shen Chuchen looked at the lifeless little thing and felt amused by her expressions, he looked up leisurely and lazily replied, “Nah, I’ve never passed any of my tests since I was young.”
He guided without expressions, “So it’s not a huge deal that you failed once.”
Look how scared she is.
What’s wrong with being bad at maths?
It’s not a big problem.
Huo Yao smiled expressionlessly, “I remember that you’ve skipped grades until your graduation in primary school and you got full marks for every single subject.”
Ye Sang humphed and buried her face into Shen Chuchen’s arms, feeling even more unhappy.
She grew up under these daddies’ halo.
Other parents would say, “look at XXX’s child.”
But for her, it was, “look at your dad XXX.”
Shen Chuchen noticed that she was getting traumatized, so he rubbed her little head and decided to comfort her a bit.
The man whispered next to her ears in a low voice, “Does Sangsang know why she is bad at math?”
The little thing dragged her voice on and replied seriously, “Because I’m stupid.”
Huo Yao shot a side glance at her and clapped, “Good, you know yourself well.”
Shen Chuchen: “.…… Get lost.”
Was he addicted to discouraging her?
The man turned her face to him and blinked while replying gently, “No.”
“You are bad at math because you inherited it from Su Ye.”
He rubbed his chin and pondered, “I don’t think he was ever good at math.”
The little thing felt comforted.
“But……” She looked at him with round eyes: “Who’s S-Su Ye?”
Shen Chuchen didn’t dare to say it in front of the other two, he lightly tickled the little thing’s chin, “Sleep with me tonight and I’ll tell you then.”
He almost forgot that the little girl’s unreliable grandpas didn’t tell her anything about her other daddies other than Huo Yao.
If he wasn’t here, both sides would still be confused.
Ye Sang nodded and pointed her fingers together, “Then the parent-teacher conference……”
It was a new question now.
Huo Yao saw those two “whispering” and didn’t speak, he replied directly in the chat.
[Ye Sang’s father 1: I’ll go to the parent-teacher conference]
Shen Chuchen saw it and smiled coldly as he replied too.
[Ye Sang’s father 2: I’ll go too]
If one was going, it wouldn’t hurt to make it two.
There was no way they could miss out on their daughter’s parent-teacher conference.
Plus these two new fathers were curious about how the little thing was doing at kindergarten.
Everyone in the group chat: “.……”
Great.
There’ll be drama to watch.
Two big shots attending a parent-teacher conference. For those who didn’t know, they’d think that it was a huge contract that both sides needed to show up to sign.
Shen Chuchen hugged the soft little thing and lazily rested his chin on her shoulder, “Let Sangsang sleep with me tonight.”
He didn’t sound like he was trying to discuss this anyways.
They were all villains, they didn’t have to compromise with each other.
He had experienced life and death situations, he would just fight them if anyone had objections.
Huo Yao breathed deeply and forced down the urge to fight his daughter over as he showed the same hypocritical villain smile, “Sure.”
Shen: “.…… Tsk.”
He agreed so quickly.
He must have something planned.
Huo Yao spoke coolly, “Sangsang needs to go out with me tomorrow.”
“For what?” Shen Chuchen hugged his daughter tightly and narrowed his eyes as he began to make assumptions from a dark point of view, “Are you going to sell my daughter?”
Huo Yao couldn’t tolerate him anymore. “Get out.”
He replied, “I need to go on a blind date tomorrow.”
Huo Yao’s face became even darker at the thought of dealing with those women.
Shen Chuchen: “Woah.”
He sounded like he was ready to watch the drama.
“Sure.” He replied lazily and blinked, “We’ll watch you go on your blind date from the room next door.”
Shen Chuchen straightened his back a little and continued with an encouraging tone of voice, “Fighting! We all have your back.”
Chapter 180: Three Villains Teaching Their Daughter (Part 2)
“.……” We all have your back?
Huo Yao smiled coldly and decided to mute his mic.
There was nothing Mu Chen could talk about with these dogs.
Their daughter had nothing to do with him anyway.
And naturally, he couldn’t experience their happiness.
The man sat coldly on the side and together with Huo Yao. They were like moving air conditioners emitting out cold air no matter where they went.
Special Assistant was pleased as he looked at the person next to him.
See? That’s the difference between having high EQ and low EQ.
Head Huo still looked like he was still a loner.
Special Assistant Zhao: “.……”
His boss wasn’t good enough for her.
“Come.” Shen Chuchen tapped the tabletop lightly and he was ready to skip dinner. He lazily crossed his legs, “Let’s teach Sangsang first.”
The man rubbed his forehead and pondered, “We need to work on her math, but her literature isn’t any better.”
Although he hasn’t seen her test yet, he could more or less guess the strange logic she had.
“Teach.” Huo Yao squeezed out a word through clenched teeth.
What a joke.
How could his daughter be bad at math?!
He didn’t want those teachers to think so, he wanted himself to think so.
His daughter must be the best.
Mu Chen, who’s been through the hardship: “.…… Haha.”
To be honest, he experienced life and death since he helped this brat correct her test last time.
Although he was jealous of the current situation, he still didn’t want to teach the brat.
But——
It would’ve been better if he didn’t smile coldly in disdain. Once he smiled, the other two shot death glares at him.
Shen Chuchen asked gloomily, “Do you have any problems with my daughter?”
Huo Yao also pulled a fake smile, “Good brothers should bear through difficulties together. I remember you graduated from University Q with a doctorate degree in math and science?”
“It was only a certain level of math.”
They were all legendary geniuses and if they couldn’t even successfully teach her, they would be losing their own faces and their reputation.
Mu Chen tsked, “Sorry.”
“But a doctor might not be enough to teach her.”
The man recalled the difficult night and his voice even started to float, “Maybe……”
Mu Chen replied with difficulty, “Maybe we can only succeed if she had her number one grandpas teaching her.”
He really didn’t mean to make fun of her.
He really wasn’t good enough!!
Who knew what the hell he had been through after teaching her for the whole night.
At this moment, these two new and defensive fathers couldn’t understand his pain.
Shen Chuchen narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, “What? You are underestimating my daughter?”
It’s only math, cant she learn it?
Huo Yao was strangely confident as he hugged the little thing who was playing with toys and confidently promised, “Give me one night.”
“You will find out tomorrow that……” He paused. Before he could finish his words, Mu Chen gloomily took over him as he already experienced the hardship, “That you will earn dark circles from staying up all night.”
But no matter what Mu Chen said, these two didn’t plan to stop this.
They even brought Doctor Mu Chen.
The three of them sat in a row and stared at her.
Honestly, it was quite scary.
Ye Sang pursed her lips together until her dimples showed and shrank her neck. When she obediently passed her test paper to him, she even sobbed and asked lifelessly, “D-Don’t hit Sangsang.”
Mu Chen heard her words and glanced at her. He imagined that these two would be chasing after her to beat her up and his lips curved up slightly.
He almost laughed.
Sorry.
But it was too funny to watch this kid getting beaten up.
He didn’t have a heart.
He just wanted to watch her get beaten up.
Huo Yao looked at literature while Shen Chuchen looked at math. Mu Chen already saw everything and his heart was as calm as still water right now.
Huo Yao looked up, “What is love?”
“Something that makes one want to vomit???” He widened his eyes in disbelief.
Is this how you are supposed to write a poem?
Shen Chuchen looked at the test in his hand in silence.
He straightened his back and narrowed his eyes. He looked at Ye Sang while smiling, “You have 300 marshmallows, 500 lollipops. You ate 200 marshmallows……”
He tried to control himself, “Hmm……what do you have left?”
Ye Sang was energyless from all the scoldings.
When she heard this, the little thing subconsciously looked up and started to question herself, “Can I-I eat 200 marshmallows?”
Could she actually?
Shen Chuchen smiled, “.…… My question was, what do you have left?”
Ye Sang shrank her neck and thought that he was too scary.
The little thing dragged her voice on replied joyfully, “I’ll have diabetes!”
Shen Chuchen: “.……”
Huo Yao turned her face over and breathed deeply at the random answers on the test as he continuously taught her without giving up.
The two gathered together in a heated discussion, even Mu Chen got dragged into it when he was watching the fun from the side.
“Why does four plus eight equals thirty-two? Ye Sangsang, you math teacher need to crawl out from her grave and have a talk with you.” Huo Yao pinched her meaty cheeks and felt exhausted.
Why was it so tiring being a father?
After Huo Yao failed, the next one walked onto the stage.
“Hong jumped three times. She jumped an average of one meter every time, how many meters did she jump after three times?”
Mu Chen closed his eyes and then stared at the thirty meters written on the test, forcing a fake smile on his face.
“Newton’s going to break out of his coffin.”
Ye Sang: “.……”
“Move, let me try.” Shen Chuchen had searched up a bunch of content for how to teach children math and breathed deeply. He spread some small wooden sticks on the table and tried all of them.
Without a doubt, all of them failed.
Mu Chen chugged some water furiously and grinded his teeth, “Don’t let me know who invented math.”
Too hard, it was just too hard.
Huo Yao closed the little girl’s homework notebook as he was sidestepping back and forth on the verge of losing his mind, “Mu Chen, you do it. Doctor of science and math, I believe in you.”
He couldn’t even bother with the hostility he felt before and even gave Mu Chen an encouraging glance.
Mu Chen: “.…… No need for that.”
His voice started to sound airy and weak as he glanced at Shen Chuchen. He obviously forgot about the resentments from his previous lifetime and spoke without a change in expressions, “I remember Shen Chuchen lived overseas and used to be a professor. It’s only a child’s homework, it must be a piece of cake for you.”
Shen Chuchen, who forcefully carried the heavy responsibility on his shoulders: “.……”
“It’s nothing.” The man waved his hands, gesturing that he could still hold on.
He breathed deeply and calmly, “If I don’t kill her from teaching her, then I’ll scare her to death.”
His daughter’s math must not be inherited from that dog Su Ye!!
She barely inherited any good points from them, what the hell is this?
But……
Half an hour later——
Shen Chuchen, who used to be a university professor overseas laid on the ground with an exhausted heart and body, started to mumble lifelessly, “I’m not teaching anymore.”
“Let me die……”
Chapter 181: Going On a Strange Blind Date With Daddy Huo Yao (Part 1)
“Let me die……”
His lifeless speech made everyone fall silent.
These men who disliked each other now exchanged a glance with each other and felt mutual sadness.
Reality proved that it wasn’t easy being a father.
They didn’t only need to know how to work and cook, but they needed to know how to teach their child.
“You do it, I can’t do this anymore.” Shen Chuchen trembled, “I need a break.”
He can’t do this anymore.
Damn it.
Don’t let him know who she inherited this from.
Too hard, it was just too hard.
Huo Yao was forced to take over. He dragged his legs and walked over, turning the little thing’s face expressionlessly, You……you……”
Nope.
He couldn’t even talk anymore.
Mu Chen pulled her over and exhaled deeply as he locked his eyes on the little thing, “Good girl, let’s go to sleep.”
“It’s only maths……” The man continued with difficulty, “I pray to forgive my ignorance, but I really can’t teach her.”
He finally understood it now.
Only her number one grandpas were good enough to teach her.
Damn it.
Her grandpas must be gods!!
Special Assistant Zhao covered his face. Three highly intelligent villains took turns to teach her yet they ended up like this.
How miserable.
Ye Sang swayed her head and looked at the table with bright eyes, “.……Then let’s go eat.”
Shen Chuchen climbed up from the ground stubbornly and mumbled to himself, “This is too scary……”
When were they ever stuck in a situation like this before?
They used to be a bunch of villains, then they happily became a father.
Damn……
Huo Yao muttered as he questioned his life, “Sometimes the only distance between you and a normal person is a kid.”
No matter how calm and strategic they were, they all broke down with a child like this.
Don’t villains need to teach their children?!
Reality proved that they needed to.
The three of them obviously realized this and Mu Chen started to chant the Great Compassion Mantra silently in his heart as he lost his mind.
Calm down, calm down.
She’s a child. I can’t hit her.
Or those two would beat him up together.
Damn it.
Shen Chuchen opened his mouth with difficulty, “I’ll go and research some more methods on how to teach math.”
He didn’t believe this.
Huo Yao felt dazzled as he glanced at Shen Chuchen, who was still persistent on teaching Ye Sang and he has never had so much respect for someone. The man sounded airy as if he hadn’t recovered from it, “Sorry.”
“Dog Shen,” Huo Yao continued, “I shouldn’t have looked down on you before.”
He started to confess his mistake, “I shouldn’t have thought that you were toxic and a dog.”
Shen Chuchen: “.……”
Mu Chen couldn’t help but to confess too, “I also shouldn’t have thought that you were a despicable person and a trash who should be beaten up.”
To be honest, Mu Chen’s impression of him in his previous life stopped at Shen Chuchen was despicable and arrogant trash.
Now that he thought about it, how could he be trash for having so much perseverance in teaching Ye Sang?
These two dogs made different confessions.
Shen Chuchen: “.……” Wow, thanks guys.
On this day.
Three villains who disliked each other established a revolutionary friendship through teaching Ye Sang.
Special Assistant Zhao watched everything speechlessly.
Is this how fast men build up their friendship?
After a session of not-so-pleasant teaching, the three of them separated while doubting their existence.
The little thing happily pulled Daddy Shen and ran outside the mansion.
After Shen Chuchen slowly calmed down, he rubbed the little thing’s head and followed behind her.
It was quite nice to take a walk at night. Especially when the soft little ball skipped, she looked so silly and adorable.
Adorable……
“Little baby, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?” The man yawned as he walked, still pondering how he could teach her math.
The little thing swayed her head as she tried to stretch out her hands to hold her daddy’s hand, “Daddy.”
“Mhm?” Shen Chuchen pinched her hand lightly with a smile and followed her steps leisurely.
Ye Sang tilted her head to the side and couldn’t help but to hug his thigh. A million stars seemed to be carved into her big and bright eyes, “D-Do you all dislike Sangsang?”
Shen Chuchen stopped in his tracks and blinked with her clear eyes, smiling lightly, “Why do you think so?”
He couldn’t help but sigh.
She was so sensitive.
The man’s voice was soft and sounded teasing, “I thought a big child like Sangsang who has a line of people who want to hug you wouldn’t have to worry about something like this.”
It was true that rarely anyone disliked her.
Shen Chuchen didn’t think that she would think like this.
The milky little ball looked down like a rice tangyuan [1]and replied earnestly, “B-Big child has worries too.”
Shen Chuchen: “.…… Alright.”
It looks like it was time for his big child’s psychological education too.
He grabbed the little ball who was hugging his thigh tightly and tickled her chin while smiling.
“Your two dads don’t have good tempers.”
Shen Chuchen picked her up and continued to take a stroll.
“But—” The man changed the topic and smiled, “Do you know what they were like before they met you?”
The “they” naturally included Shen Chuchen too.
“They did all the bad things in the world, they had distorted values, and their favourite thing to do was throw stones at someone who had fallen down a well. They even implemented the thought of cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots, they bankrupted all the companies they annexed.”
Honestly speaking, they never thought that someone like them could have a daughter one day.
Shen Chuchen pondered and pinched her soft cheeks. His eyes smiled and whispered, “Don’t let your imagination run wild.”
He leisurely said, “We are indeed bad people, but we are all trying to become better after meeting you.”
They were all trying to get used to the role of a father.
The little thing blinked and the little tail wagged behind her as she hugged her daddy tightly, “Sangsang’s daddy isn’t bad.”
“Mhm.” The man gently continued after hearing her words, “Those two……perhaps they aren’t as warm and gentle as other children’s dads.”
“But Sangsang needs to know that no one loves them more than you in this world.” Shen Chuchen kissed her cheeks and smiles filled his eyes.
Heartless villains like them rarely had anyone they cared about.
And the little girl in front of his eyes was the only exception and bias they had.
Ye Sang nodded in half understanding, “Then daddy……”
She looked up and earnestly asked: “After the parent-teacher conference, could you…… could you not beat me?”
Shen Chuchen was amused. “.…… You still remember that?”
He wouldn’t hit her.
But he couldn’t promise that on behalf of Mu Chen and Huo Yao.
Those two mental people obviously belonged to the type that thought “only I can beat my child up”.
