Me at two years old, a queen!

Chapter 16: Standing as punishment! Why?

Lu Junxing's black-themed room exuded elegance and an air of wealth. An'an entered and was placed on a wool carpet. Her eyes darted around, and finding it similar to her father's room, she lost all curiosity.

Remembering that her dad had just said he would buy her that bed, she stuck to him and followed him everywhere.

Lu Junxing was changing clothes in the dressing room when he looked down at the sticky little girl clinging to his leg and said, "Get out! I need to change."

"Why?" An'an rubbed her eyes and clung to the man's lap.

"No why! Get out!" Lu Junxing didn't know why this child was so curious. He had to ask why about everything, and once you answered one question, there would always be an endless stream of "whys" waiting for you.

Lu Junxing manually pulled the person out and made him stand in the corner: "Perfect, he can stand here as punishment!"

"Why?" An'an had been punished before for being naughty, but that was because she broke her mother's lipstick or smashed her grandmother's vase, and that's why she was made to stand in the corner.

"Why? Didn't we agree that I'd go to work and you'd stay here and play? You went back on your word! You cried your eyes out and then forgot? Huh?" Lu Junxing impatiently pulled the little girl's finger out of her mouth and wiped it for her.

"Stand still! Ten minutes!" She poked the little girl's chubby cheeks, straightened her little lamb pajamas, and then, remembering how she'd just wiped the drool from her diaper, went in to take a shower and tidy herself up.

An'an, feeling bored while standing, sat down on the floor, wondering why she was being punished. Unable to figure it out, she heard the sound of running water and immediately got up and headed towards the bathroom.

The little girl pounded on the door, "Pat pa! Pat pa!" while shouting at the top of her lungs, "Daddy! Daddy!"

Hearing the noise, Lu Junxing inside turned off the shower: "You're being punished! Go back to your seat!"

"Why? I don't want to be punished by standing!"

"Tsk~, get back to your seat and stand properly! Think carefully about why you're being punished! Why were you crying your eyes out today!"

"I'm so tired! I don't want to come out~, An'an is still a little baby~" An'an cleverly tried to avoid being punished by standing in the corner, as her legs were very uncomfortable.

"Go back and stand properly! Think carefully about why you cried today!" Thinking of her cheeky behavior, he added, "If you're naughty, I'll beat you up when I come out later!"

"Waaah~, you're a bad daddy! Humph!" Hearing that she was about to be hit, the little girl immediately crossed her arms, uttered a fierce remark, and angrily stood up straight.

She got tired quickly, glanced at the still-noisy bathroom door with her little eyes, then plopped down on the floor: "Hmph! Stinky poop! Bad poop~, I'm going to get the little fairy... to... hit... you!"

"Ugh! You mean daddy!"

"Oh dear, baby, what are you doing here?" Ms. Song Yuan had only been taking a shower when she returned and her child wasn't in her room. She guessed the child was here, knocked on the door but received no answer, and worried about her child, she came in.

"Why are you sitting on the ground! It's cold there. Come on, let's get up and play!"

"No~, no way!" An'an struggled to refuse her grandma's attempt to pick her up: "You can't~, Grandma!"

"Sweetie, let's play on the sofa, okay? Sitting on the floor will make you catch a cold!"

“No, An’an is being punished by standing in the corner.” An’an explained to her grandmother in a serious tone that she was being punished by standing in the corner and that she couldn’t beg to stop. Her mother said that was wrong, and only the person who ordered the punishment could speak up. So, unusually, the little girl didn’t whine or try to escape.

"Daddy has to make me stand in the corner as punishment, so... so Grandma can't interfere~"

Song Yuan, who had assumed the child was playing games, never expected this answer. She had gone on a business trip before even finishing her postpartum confinement, and with Lu Junxing being so outstanding, she hadn't had a chance to worry about the child at all. For a moment, she didn't know what to do: "Oh dear~, why are you being punished by standing?"

"Daddy's bad! Humph!"

"Oh dear~, how can Daddy be bad? Did you make your daddy angry?" Hearing her angry words, Song Yuan didn't forcefully pull her up, but simply told her to stand up straight and not to sit on the ground anymore.

"I'm crying... Daddy's punishing me by making me stand in the corner, An'an is wrong!" The little girl, trying to show she was being properly punished, said with a serious face, facing the white wall.

Song Yuan probably understood that the child had been crying and looking for her father today, and had broken her promise, which had earned her a scolding and punishment. Hearing a hint of confusion in the little girl's voice, he realized what was going on and explained to her, "An'an, did Daddy ask you several times today if you wanted to go to the company with him?"

"Yes, Daddy said... he wants to go to work and be CEO Lu!" An'an answered in a childish voice, pursing her lips as she recalled the words.

"So what did An'an say?" Song Yuan wasn't in a hurry. She patiently guided the child to discover the problem herself. Although she hadn't formally educated her child, she had encountered all sorts of strange people in the business world over the years.

She understood that she needed to clearly identify who was at fault before assigning blame, especially with those who were overly confident and arrogant; otherwise, there would only be endless trouble.

"I want to play in the snow... Daddy went to work, and An'an doesn't want to go... then An'an cried." The little girl hadn't consciously tried to recall what happened that day before, but with some guidance, she's starting to remember little by little.

"Looking for Daddy... Daddy, come back!" An'an's voice trailed off as she spoke, "An'an is wrong! You... you don't keep your word, that's not good! That's not right!"

"Our An'an is so smart!"
