Chapter 34 - Ah Well, She Is My Daughter (2)
Chen Mian nodded forcefully, waved at her father and said, “Daddy, I am going to bed with mommy!”
She bounced away with Ye Qing after she finished saying that.
Chen Qinyan’s face was cold. “Hang on a minute!”
The mother and daughter duo stopped in their tracks.
Chen Mian, who had just misbehaved, was anxious almost immediately. What did daddy want? Did he want to grill them some more? Would she not be allowed to play in his study anymore?
Ye Qing gently rubbed her on her head to calm her down before she turned around and asked, “What seems to be the matter?
Chen Qinyan leaned against his desk slightly. With the fountain pen that Ye Qing had picked up earlier in his hand, he said, “There’s a banquet tomorrow night. I need both of you to come with me. “
A business trip in the city?
Ye Qing nodded in a very agreeable way and said, “Okay.”
Little kiddo Chen Mian had already been to a few of these banquets. When she realized what he wanted to say had nothing to do with the fountain pen, she let out a sigh of relief and also nodded agreeably, “Okay.”
She thought about it for a little bit and felt pity for her dad that always had to work so late, so she said to him before she walked out, “Don’t work too late daddy. Go to bed soon, okay? G’nite~”
Chen Qinyan’s look softened up a little, and he said, “I will, good night to you too.”
After the mother and daughter duo had taken off, Chen Qinyan looked away from the door.
With the fountain pen that was picked up from the floor, he sat down on his office chair.
The bottom drawer of the desk has a digital lock on it. He punched in a series of numbers, and the drawer popped open.
The entire drawer contained nothing but two boxes of fountain pens.
One of the boxes contained fountain pens that had been dropped many times, and ink would go all over the place when uncapped and needed to be cleaned before the next.
The other box contained brand new fountain pens.
Chen Qinyan tossed the fountain pen in his hand into the discard box before he bent down and picked up the other pen that his daughter had kicked into a corner and also tossed it inside.
He then retrieved two more brand new ones and relocked the drawer.
Aunty Yin would periodically come and collect the fountain pens in the discard box, wash them out, and donate the salvageable ones to the grade school nearby.
They have been doing this for a while now.
He had no choice.
It’s difficult to have a daughter; even more so when your daughter was half cat.

It was getting late by the time they walked out of the study.
Chen Mian had been raised properly and could perform many tasks on her own.
Such as brushing her own teeth, washing her own face, and changing into her pajamas by herself.
Ye Qing stood around and monitored her for a little while. When she saw Chen Mian obediently climbing into the bed and laying down, she turned the light off and left.
As soon as she walked away, the little kid on the bed immediately turned into a kitten.
Chen Mian’s room was catered to her taste. There were a lot of little shelves that stuck up from the wall. They might look like a form of decoration when, in truth, they serve the purpose of a cat tree.
These shelves covered up all the walls of the entire room.
The kitten happily climbed and jumped from shelf to shelf around the entire wall. It was only when she was exhausted from her activities that she finally plopped onto the bed, rolled over, and exposed her fuzzy little belly.
