“Aiya, these are all the daily essentials Qiaoqiao needs.”
Yan Mei patiently explained to Zhao Yingjun:
“Towels, bath towels, and the like, the child must use her own, can’t mix with adults’; then there are these toiletries, toothpaste, shampoo, children have delicate skin, they can’t use the adults’ ones, too irritating.”
“This suitcase and that one, all Qiaoqiao’s clothes, you have to prepare for both cold and warm weather, who knows if the weather forecast is accurate, East Sea is near the sea, what if it suddenly gets colder?
You have to be prepared with warm clothes in advance.”
“That one over there—”
“Okay, okay, that’s enough.” Zhao Yingjun, sitting behind her desk, interrupted her mother:
“East Sea isn’t a primitive society…

Whatever Qiaoqiao lacks, I can buy for her on the spot, there’s no way she will starve or freeze, you really don’t have to be so thorough.”
“How could I not!”
Yan Mei admonished:
“New clothes have to be washed properly before being worn by the child, and you must check if they are pure cotton.
Qiaoqiao has such tender skin, what if she’s allergic to synthetic fibers?”
“Alright, alright, alright.”

Zhao Yingjun’s head was aching, she conceded directly:“Then just leave them here, later I’ll have the company’s people move them to the car, and take them home.
Is there anything else you need to explain?
If not, leave Qiaoqiao here, and you guys hurry back to Imperial Capital.”
Zhao Ruihai and Yan Mei left a list of precautionary measures, 1234.
Then Yan Mei squatted down, hugging Yan Qiaoqiao with reluctance:
“Qiaoqiao, Grandma will be away from you for a while, you must behave, okay?
Grow up well.”
“Ei, no.”
Zhao Yingjun stood up from behind her desk, somewhat speechless at her own mother:
“Shouldn’t this farewell process have already been completed at home?”
“Besides, isn’t it just a few days in Imperial Capital before coming back?
Is it necessary to be this reluctant?”
She narrowed her eyes, looking at her father Zhao Ruihai:
“I have a feeling…”
“Both of you seem like you won’t come back to East Sea again.”
Zhao Ruihai huffed:
“How is that possible!
If it wasn’t because we thought Qiaoqiao was tired from traveling and needed a rest, we definitely would have taken her back with us to Imperial Capital!”
“Let’s go, we have to catch the flight.”
Yan Mei swiftly stood up, stepped out the door with Zhao Ruihai, closed it, and strode away.
Their actions flowed smoothly, done in one breath.
“…”
Zhao Yingjun looked at the tightly closed office security door.
They left quite efficiently.
Could they be feeling guilty?
Subsequently, she looked down at Yan Qiaoqiao standing silently by her side.
She noticed that Yan Qiaoqiao was dressed just like ten days ago, with a blue hairband on her head, decorated with a light pink metallic clip, both styled by her.
The clothes were the same…
That off-white, fresh-looking dress.
“Why are you still wearing this?”
Zhao Yingjun asked curiously:
“I bought you a lot of hair clips, hairbands, decorations, and clothes…
There are over a dozen dresses alone, you could have changed into another one.”
Yan Qiaoqiao shook her head:
“I like this set.”
Zhao Yingjun chuckled:
“It’s not that you like it, you just haven’t tried other styles, how do you know you don’t like something else?”
Yan Qiaoqiao shook her head again, saying softly:
“I still like this one.”
Ah.
Zhao Yingjun sighed.
Even if you like it, you can’t wear it every day…
Well, never mind.
Let her be.
She pointed to the sofa by the wall:
“Then, Qiaoqiao, sit there and read for a while, I still have a lot of work to get through, and after work, I’ll take you home, and you can play with VV.”
After speaking, Zhao Yingjun made a call asking the logistics staff to bring some children’s books from the company library to entertain Yan Qiaoqiao.
Work continued.
She’s been very busy recently, new businesses have sprung up, Rhein Cosmetics began to reach international markets, establishing channels in many countries, and of course, the accompanying tasks became increasingly challenging.
She sat behind her desk the entire afternoon, hardly stopping.
One after another, vice presidents and team leaders came to see her for signatures and work reports, then she would summon people to delegate tasks.
She spent the whole afternoon without a moment to even glance at Yan Qiaoqiao.
Finally.
A little past four in the afternoon, she finally had a short break.
She unscrewed the lid of her thermos, took a sip of now somewhat cool floral tea, and looked towards the sofa.
Only to discover…
Yan Qiaoqiao was not reading the children’s books, but had been staring in her direction the whole time.
Apparently, it wasn’t just a recent thing.
No books were placed in front of her; clearly, she had long stopped reading, and had likely been sitting there quietly for a long time, silently observing her without making a sound.
“What’s wrong, Qiaoqiao.”
Zhao Yingjun screwed the lid back on her thermos and asked:
“Don’t you like the books?”
Yan Qiaoqiao pointed outside the window:
“I want to go out and play.”
“Not now.” Zhao Yingjun, without a second thought, denied the request:
“I still have a lot of unfinished work, and I’m waiting for some documents to be delivered for signing.
Give it another hour, after one more hour I’ll take you home, and you can play with VV.”
“If you’re bored…
would you like to play with a phone?
Or watch some cartoons or something?”
Yan Qiaoqiao shook her head:
“No need, I’m fine just sitting here.”
Soon after, there was a knock at the door.
“Come in.”
Zhao Yingjun pressed the button to open the security door, letting the vice president enter to sign documents and continue discussions.
Until five-thirty.
Work was finally over.
Zhao Yingjun took Yan Qiaoqiao by the hand and they went to a nearby mall, thinking since there was still plenty of time, there was no need to rush home, and decided to take Yan Qiaoqiao for a little stroll and play.
