The small, chubby hands naturally landed on Yu Jinxiao’s shoulder as the little head tried hard to find a gap beside him, just enough to sneak a peek at the computer screen.
The business partner on the screen couldn’t help but laugh, “Mr. Yu, is this your little one?”
“That’s right,” Yu Yuanyuan eagerly answered, “I’m the little one in our family.”
“Hahaha, how cute.”
Yu Yuanyuan, already in her pajamas, looked like a fluffy little caterpillar.
Her one-piece pajamas were soft and puffy, complete with an adorable ruffled collar. Aunt Chen had specifically picked it out earlier in the day, thinking it would suit Yu Yuanyuan perfectly—and it turned out even better than she imagined.
Yu Yuanyuan looked like a little ball, round and fuzzy, waddling unsteadily like a baby penguin that hadn’t shed its down feathers yet.
“Huh? There’s a Uncle in the computer,” the little one pointed at the screen in surprise. “Daddy, is this a TV show?”
“Stop messing around,” Yu Jinxiao warned in a low voice. “I’m in the middle of business—this is a video call.”
“Video… call? What’s that?”
The man on the screen was laughing so hard he nearly doubled over, raising his hand to wave at Yu Yuanyuan. “Little one, a video call is like a phone call, but not only can we talk, we can see each other too!”
Yu Yuanyuan gasped, “Wow! Uncle is real, not in the TV, right?”
“That’s right, little one, you’re absolutely right.”
“So Uncle is chatting with Daddy?” Yu Yuanyuan shifted her little head to the right, her small hands grabbing onto Yu Jinxiao’s other shoulder, “This is so fun!”
“Alright, enough. Go play somewhere else,” Yu Jinxiao said, as he tried to remove the little troublemaker from his lap.
“Uncle, you look so…” The oblivious little one continued mumbling, “You look so…”
As Yu Yuanyuan struggled to find the right words, her tiny hands waved in the air, trying to express herself.
Yu Jinxiao felt a sense of impending doom—whatever she was about to say probably wasn’t good.
While he wasn’t worried about the business deal falling through, it wouldn’t be ideal if word got out.
Headline: “Yu Jinxiao’s Daughter Insults Business Partner’s Appearance, Deal Canceled.”
Just imagine how ridiculous that would sound!
The business partner on the screen also seemed to have a bad feeling, bracing himself for what might be an insult.
If she really called him ugly, should he get angry or not?
If he didn’t, it might make him look weak. After all, he was someone of importance in Jiangcheng.
But this was Yu Jinxiao’s daughter…
After some thought, the business partner decided that if the situation went south, he’d just pretend the connection was bad and that he didn’t hear anything.
“Uncle, you look… so… so cute!!” After much deliberation, the words finally tumbled out of Yu Yuanyuan’s mouth.
Neither Yu Jinxiao nor the business partner had expected that.
Cute?
Yu Jinxiao began to wonder if his little girl’s sense of aesthetics was a bit off.
“Hahaha! Uncle isn’t as cute as you,” the partner laughed, Such a charming little exchange in the middle of a meeting!
“Little one, what’s your name?”
“Yuanyuan, Yu Yuanyuan!”
“Even your name is adorable! Mr. Yu, your daughter is truly delightful.”
“Hehehe, Uncle, you’re adorable too!”
What on earth? This business meeting had turned into a cuteness appreciation contest!
“Alright now, good kids shouldn’t interrupt grown-ups while they’re working.” Yu Jinxiao finally grabbed the little one off his shoulders, carrying her to the door and setting her down. “Go play with your brother.”
“But my brother is doing homework.”
“Well, I’m working too, not playing.”
“But Yuanyuan doesn’t want to bother brother.”
Yu Jinxiao’s forehead throbbed.
Doesn’t want to bother her brother, but it’s fine to keep pestering me, huh?
He could feel a headache coming on
