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: “…”
