After the woman got off the car, a middle-aged chubby man followed suit, holding a baby in his arms.

The baby didn't cry; instead, it opened its eyes wide in the chubby man's embrace, curiously glancing around the world.

"Sir, Madam, congratulations!"

The butler, seeing the two alight from the car, quickly offered his congratulations with a beaming smile.

The middle-aged chubby man chuckled, acknowledging the butler's wishes. Without saying much, he played with the baby in his arms, wearing a proud smile on his face.

The woman giggled and looked at the middle-aged man. "He actually called me Madam, it's so funny. I'm only seventeen this year."

"Now that you are my wife, and he is our steward, calling you Madam is only appropriate," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

The woman tilted her head, contemplating, seemingly finding some truth in his words. Her previously slightly naive face now carried a more subdued smile, accompanied by a mix of enjoyment and pride in her gaze.

"I really like it when you call me that, truly," the woman said to the butler with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the butler promptly bowed again, saying, "If Madam likes it, then it's good. If Madam likes it, then it's good."

Guided by the steward, the three entered through the iron gate and stepped into the villa.

All three were happy, their faces adorned with smiles, but the sources of their joy were different.

The butler was happy because he had finally seen the middle-aged chubby man settle down and start a family, with the addition of a child.

The middle-aged chubby man was happy because he had become a father, and his heart was particularly light.

As for the woman, her happiness stemmed from successfully marrying into a wealthy family, becoming the wife of the Zhong family, the only wife.

Her husband was not only wealthy but also an orphan, the kind of person she had always envisioned as an ideal marriage partner. Now that her wish had come true, how could she not be happy?

"Sir, has the name for the young lady been decided?" The butler, leading the way, asked with a smile.

Regarding the matter of naming the child, the middle-aged chubby man laughed and said, "I've already thought of one. Her mother's name has the character 'rain,' so I named her Siyu. I want her mother to know that her old man is always thinking about her."

Here, the middle-aged chubby man looked at the woman beside him. However, her attention was entirely absorbed by the villa, and she didn't notice the affectionate gaze or hear his words.

The middle-aged chubby man chuckled, a hint of disappointment mixed with embarrassment. However, the butler, being perceptive, quickly intervened with a smile.

"Zhong Siyu, what a good name! Sir has chosen a great name for the young lady!"

Whether the butler's words were sincere or not, the middle-aged chubby man didn't mind. Regardless of the sincerity, hearing those words made him happy.

"I always wanted a daughter, and unexpectedly, the first child I had was a daughter. Sir has been too good to me! Haha!"

The inner joy made the middle-aged chubby man unable to contain his laughter again, and the butler continued to offer congratulations.

The arrival of the woman and Zhong Siyu added two more masters to the Zhong family villa.

Initially, there were no significant changes to the Zhong family villa due to their arrival. However, as Zhong Siyu grew up, the changes in the Zhong family villa became more apparent, becoming livelier.

Zhong Siyu was lively, and the whole villa revolved around her, with everyone, young and old, circling around their elder sister, putting all their energy into her.

Due to business obligations, the middle-aged chubby man was seldom at home, frequently traveling. Yet, what he cared about the most was his wife and child at home.

Although he was wealthy, he was principled and never indulged in outside affairs. He did what needed to be done, avoiding what shouldn't be done. All this was because he deeply cared for his wife and child.

If he could, he wished to be with his wife and child all the time, never leaving their side. However, to provide a better material life for his family, he had to choose to work hard outside.

In life, one must sacrifice to gain. To obtain something, one must give up something. The inability to be by the side of his loved ones at all times was a sacrifice the middle-aged chubby man made.

For a man, as the pillar of the family, he was helpless about this. He could only silently endure while trying to squeeze out as much time as possible to spend with his wife and child.

The middle-aged chubby man did this quite well. Whenever he had a little time, he would find a way to rush home, never indulging in outside distractions. This was his way of increasing the time spent with his family.

He had done everything he could, thinking that it would earn him more understanding and support from his family. However, things didn't unfold in the direction he had imagined.

That year, Zhong Siyu turned ten.

Due to his busy business, he couldn't attend her birthday and celebrate it with her.

To compensate for his feelings of guilt and regret, after settling business matters, the middle-aged chubby man not only bought a gift for his daughter but also prepared one for his wife. He then secretly rushed home, intending to surprise his wife and daughter.

Returning to the villa, Zhong Siyu was playing with the steward and the household servants, displaying her mischievous and lively ten-year-old self. She was especially playful, showing no signs of the quiet demeanor typically associated with girls, but rather resembling a mischievous boy.

The sudden appearance of the middle-aged chubby man delighted Zhong Siyu.

"Daddy!"

With a face full of surprise, Zhong Siyu pounced towards the middle-aged chubby man, her expression radiating pure joy.

The middle-aged chubby man chuckled, lifting Zhong Siyu into his arms. As he looked at his daughter, who was increasingly resembling her mother, he couldn't help but feel genuine affection.

However, there was still a faint worry in his heart. He feared that his daughter might become too beautiful, attracting unwanted attention from other children at school.

Although this situation might not occur immediately, considering Zhong Siyu was only ten years old, it was a concern that could become a reality in a few years. In anticipation of this, the middle-aged chubby man felt he should make some preparations in advance. Regardless, he couldn't allow his daughter to be at a disadvantage.

He kept these thoughts to himself, watching his joyous daughter in his arms. He released his hands with a smile and took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from his pocket.

Seeing the gift box her father produced, Zhong Siyu's eyes sparkled. She grinned and asked, "Is this my gift?"

The middle-aged chubby man nodded confidently and said, "This is a carefully chosen gift from Daddy. Open it and take a look."

"Thank you, Daddy!"

Zhong Siyu, brimming with joy, kissed the middle-aged chubby man on the cheek. Then, eagerly, she tore open the wrapping, revealing an exquisite pendant inside.

Within the pendant was a family photo of the three of them, their faces beaming with happiness, especially Zhong Siyu, who looked exceptionally cheerful.

Observing the pendant in her hands, Zhong Siyu's face displayed a mischievous expression. She giggled and said, "The pendant is just ordinary, but this photo is quite nice, especially me in the picture. It enhances the beauty of the entire pendant. My spirit is the soul of this pendant. Without me, it would be just mediocre."

Watching Zhong Siyu playfully boasting, the middle-aged chubby man not only didn't get angry but burst into laughter. His daughter's liveliness brought him immense satisfaction, dispelling the weariness from his business endeavors in that moment.

For the middle-aged chubby man, home was a warm harbor. Returning here not only swept away his fatigue but also allowed him to experience a happiness that outsiders couldn't provide.

"Siyu, Daddy has decided to buy villas in several cities he frequents. When Daddy goes somewhere, both of you can come along, and we won't be separated anymore, okay?" the middle-aged chubby man asked with a smile.

"Okay! But... but Mom seems to really like it here. Trying to convince her might not be easy," Zhong Siyu replied with a smile.

The middle-aged chubby man chuckled, then said, "Yes, your mom seems to have a special fondness for Lecheng. Convincing her won't be easy, but it's alright. Daddy will make an effort this time. By the way, where is she? Why haven't I seen her?"

"She went out. She left last night and hasn't come back yet," Zhong Siyu casually replied, playing with the pendant in her hand. She didn't think much about it and responded directly.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged chubby man's face changed slightly, and his brows furrowed. It was already afternoon, and his wife had been gone for nearly a whole night!

While he was somewhat puzzled, worry dominated his thoughts. The middle-aged chubby man feared that his wife might have encountered some trouble outside.

[Heartfelt thankyou for the support! BokuBoku]
