Chapter 49: Zhao Jiaying Goes to the Bathroom  

After leaving the yellow duck specialty store, Ou Zichen and Zhao Jiaying continued shopping.  

Ou Zichen took her to a children’s clothing store. The outfits inside were all beautiful, and Zhao Jiaying tried on several princess dresses, each of which she adored.  

The princess dresses made her look even cuter and more adorable. The store clerk could not help but praise her, “You’re absolutely precious! These dresses look so good on you that they make the clothes seem even more high-end.”  

The clerk was not just flattering her—she truly meant it. She had never seen a child who could wear clothes so beautifully.

“Thank you, Big Sister!” Zhao Jiaying’s crisp voice rang out as she thanked the person who had just complimented her.  

Ou Zichen also thought the clothes looked good, making his daughter appear even more lively. So, he bought dozens of outfits in one go, leaving the store clerk completely stunned.  

Although they were children’s clothes, this was still a brand-name boutique, and the prices were not cheap. Parents who could buy dozens of pieces at once were truly a rare sight.  

Ou Zichen took out his gold card and swiped it. The clerk received it with both hands and enthusiastically said: “Alright, sir, please wait a moment!”  

After making the payment, he left an address so they could have the clothes delivered.  

After Ou Zichen and Zhao Jiaying left the store, two employees whispered among themselves.  

“Did you see that? That little girl is so adorable! I didn’t expect her daddy to be so handsome and generous. Some people just have such good lives.”  

“Ah… this is what they mean by different fates for different people. No point being envious. Come on, back to work!”  

Ou Zichen and Zhao Jiaying continued shopping for a while. Suddenly, Zhao Jiaying looked up at Ou Zichen and said: “Daddy, I need to go to the bathroom!”  

“Alright, Daddy will take you!”  

Ou Zichen held Zhao Jiaying’s hand and instinctively walked toward the men’s restroom. However, as soon as they reached the entrance, Zhao Jiaying stopped in her tracks.  

“Yingbao, what’s wrong? Didn’t you say you needed to use the bathroom?”  

“Daddy, this is the men’s restroom. Yingbao is a girl! I need to go to the women’s restroom!”  

Ou Zichen almost forgot—his child was a daughter, not a son.  

Now, this was awkward. He was a grown man and couldn’t go into the women’s restroom. But then, how was he supposed to take her inside?  

Noticing his dilemma, Zhao Jiaying said: “Daddy, Yingbao can go to the women’s restroom by herself!”  

At school, she always went to the bathroom alone, so doing it now wouldn’t be a problem.  

“Are you sure you can go by yourself?” Ou Zichen asked with some concern.  

“Of course! Yingbao isn’t a three-year-old anymore. I can definitely go to the bathroom on my own!”  

She wasn’t even four yet.  

But there was no other choice, so he had to let her go by herself.  

“Alright then, Yingbao, go ahead. Daddy will wait for you at the door!”  

“Mm!”  

Zhao Jiaying hurriedly ran into the women’s restroom.  

But before long, she rushed back out just as quickly.  

Ou Zichen was a bit taken aback. Could kids really use the bathroom this fast? But he still asked: “Yingbao, are you done already?”  

Zhao Jiaying shook her head vigorously. “No! All the toilets inside are the sitting kind. Yingbao can’t reach, so I can’t go!”  

At Saint Petersburg Elementary, all the restrooms had squat toilets, so Zhao Jiaying could squat down and use them. But here, all the toilets were the sitting kind, and with her height, she simply couldn’t get onto them.  

Hearing the words “can’t go”, Ou Zichen felt like crying. He suddenly realized that not having a woman by his side was truly a problem—he couldn’t even solve the issue of his daughter using the bathroom.  

Zhao Jiaying clutched the front of her clothes anxiously and said: “Daddy, what should I do? Yingbao can’t hold it anymore, it’s about to come out!”  

Ou Zichen felt a headache coming on. This was even harder than handling billion-dollar contracts. Was he really going to have to carry Zhao Jiaying into the women’s restroom to help her?  

Just then, two girls who looked like middle school students walked over, also heading to the restroom.  

Seeing Zhao Jiaying’s flushed face and Ou Zichen’s helpless expression, they quickly guessed what was going on.  

One of them stepped forward, speaking softly: “Little sister, do you need to go to the bathroom? Big Sister can take you, okay?”  

Seeing that someone could help her, Zhao Jiaying quickly nodded. “Okay! Thank you, Big Sister!”  

The moment Ou Zichen saw that someone could help Zhao Jiaying, he let out a sigh of relief.  

This incident made him realize something—he absolutely needed to hire a few female bodyguards for Zhao Jiaying. After all, men and women were different, and there were some things he simply couldn’t do. The first thing he would do after going back was to find someone for the job.  

The kind-hearted Big Sister carefully lifted Zhao Jiaying onto the toilet seat. Once she was done, she helped her down and even flushed the toilet for her.  

Now that she had relieved herself, she felt completely at ease. If people found out that she, Zhao Jiaying, had nearly been held hostage by her own bladder, wouldn’t they laugh at her?  

She once again thanked the two Big Sisters. “Thank you, Big Sister! If it weren’t for you, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to hold it in!”  

“It’s nothing, just a small favor. We’re happy we could help!”  

“Mm! Big Sister, goodbye!” Zhao Jiaying waved at them before walking out of the women’s restroom.  

After she left, the two Big Sisters started chatting.  

“This little girl is so cute!”  

“Yeah! Look at her big, round eyes and those long, curled eyelashes—she looks just like a Barbie doll!”  

“I think she’s a real-life version of Barbie.”  

“I think so too.”  

When Ou Zichen saw Zhao Jiaying come out, he immediately asked: “Yingbao, how did it go? Did you manage to use the bathroom?”  

“Mm! All done! I feel so much better now!”  

Zhao Jiaying didn’t want to keep shopping anymore. She was feeling a little tired, and her stomach was empty—right now, all she wanted was to eat something.  

“Daddy, Yingbao is so tired. I don’t want to shop anymore!”  

“Alright, then Daddy will take you to eat some cake and rest for a bit, okay?”  

Ou Zichen remembered that Zhao Jiaying seemed to love eating cake. Every time Ou Zilong brought some home for her, she would be overjoyed and eat it with great enthusiasm.  

“Yes, yes, yes!”  

The moment she heard there would be cake, Zhao Jiaying’s face lit up with excitement.  

Ou Zichen took Zhao Jiaying to a café, where they sat down. He ordered a slice of chocolate cake and a slice of mango cake for her—he recalled these were her favorites. As for himself, he ordered a cup of Americano.  

The cakes were ready-made, so they were served quickly. Zhao Jiaying picked up her fork and happily started eating. As she ate, she suddenly thought of Shen Linghao.  

“This cake is so delicious! It’s a pity Brother Linghao isn’t here. Otherwise, he could have eaten this yummy cake with Yingbao!”  

Ever since she met Shen Linghao, whenever she had something delicious, she always thought of him first.  

Ou Zichen felt that his position as her beloved father was at risk. He couldn’t help but feel a little jealous.
