Me at two years old, a queen!

——Gu'an Hospital——

"Mr. Lu, don't worry, we've checked. There are obvious bruises on the child's arms and legs, but fortunately they are all superficial injuries and not very serious. They have been disinfected. Just be careful not to get them wet and apply the medicine on time."

Gu Yibai usually didn't have much interaction with prodigies like Lu Junxing, and he also despised the backstabbing and intrigue of the world of fame and fortune, so he rarely attended those gatherings.

However, they did know some of the rumors. Besides, they had another layer of relationship.

He only realized that the eligible bachelor in everyone's eyes had a child when he saw Lu Junxing rushing in carrying a child. To be honest, he was quite shocked to find out that Lu Junxing had a child.

After all, Lu Junxing is known in the industry for his cold personality, lack of desires, and only knowing how to work. At such a young age, he lives a life as monotonous as a monk.

Now it seems the rumors might not be true; these rich kids are all pretty much the same! It hasn't been that long, and they've already produced such a big kid.

"But I still think it's best to take the child to see a psychologist and get some counseling! After all, the child is still young, and I'm afraid it might leave some psychological trauma." The child is innocent, especially since he's such a cute little one. Isn't it because he loves children that he became a doctor?

Gu Yibai tried to coax the little cutie, but the child was nestled in Lu Junxing's arms with only the back of her head showing, completely ignoring him. Gu Yibai then suggested that the child be taken to see a doctor, worried that it might cause her psychological trauma.

"Well, thanks!"

Seeing the little girl's medical report, Lu Junxing breathed a sigh of relief, but his mood was not exactly good. Since An'an came back, his mood had been fluctuating every day.

"Hey~ It's nothing! No need to thank me! I happen to have a friend who studied psychology who recently returned to China and joined this hospital. If you don't mind, you can go and have a look. Don't worry, privacy is guaranteed."

"No need, thank you! I'll arrange this myself." Lu Junxing glanced down at An'an, who had been burying her face in his arms and pretending to be dead since entering the hospital, then turned and left.

Gu Yibai understood that this involved privacy, so Lu Junxing's refusal was expected. Most people would see a psychologist they trust, let alone a large family like the Lu family.

"That's fine. The hospitals under your Lu Group are all top-notch doctors. Just remember to apply the medicine on time for this skin injury. Children heal quickly from such a small injury."

She then turned to the little girl who hadn't shown her face and was nestled in Gu Junxing's arms, and gently squeezed her little hand that was clutching Lu Junxing's clothes: "Goodbye, An'an~, remember to apply the medicine~"

"Bye~"

When the little girl realized she didn't need a shot as she was leaving, she perked up a bit and even waved to Gu Yibai. But she still kept her head buried in Lu Junxing's arms. Although her daddy's hug was hard and uncomfortable, she felt incredibly safe—a feeling she didn't have with her mother.

Lu Junxing didn't want to delay, so he came straight from the hospital to home and had the doctors from within the Lu Group come to check on the child. Actually, if he wasn't worried about the child's injuries, he wouldn't have gone directly to the hospital near the company; he would have trusted his own family and waited for the family doctor to arrive.

"Daddy~, Daddy~" As soon as they stepped out of the hospital, the little girl slowly let go of Lu Junxing's neck, peeking out her head and curiously observing her surroundings.

"Hmm?" Lu Junxing noticed that the little girl relaxed after they walked out of the hospital, no longer tightly gripping his neck. He himself didn't even realize that his previously anxious heart had now calmed down a bit.

"Daddy~"

"Were you scared just now?" Lu Junxing stroked her messy hair, looking at her still slightly swollen eyes and her bewildered, exploratory expression towards the world, a mixture of curiosity and trepidation. For the first time, he doubted his decision. Had he made a mistake in how he treated his child before? He seemed to be just as inadequate as the parents had been.

"Scared, scared~, An'an wants to see Daddy~, see you~" The little girl seemed to recall the scene again, her little hands wrapped around Lu Junxing's neck, her little face buried in Lu Junxing's neck, as if this could eliminate the fear in her heart.

"Push! Ouch! You bad woman!"

"I'm sorry, An'an!" Lu Junxing comforted her, patting the little girl's head with his large hand, his voice deep as if he had made a firm decision.

"It's okay~"

The little girl sat in the car, her small hand tightly gripping two of Lu Junxing's fingers. Lu Junxing, unusually, didn't pull his hand away, but instead held his phone in one hand, asking Assistant Zhao about the progress of the matter. Assistant Zhao had stayed at the company to handle the Sheng family's affairs, while another assistant, Qin Feng, had driven them to the hospital. Qin Feng usually handled overseas projects and had just returned.

When An'an first saw Qin Feng, she thought his face was as dark as Boiling Sheep's, he was wearing a black shirt, muscular and strong, and his expressionless face was like a father's.

The little girl climbed down from the seat and peered curiously at him from behind the driver's seat. She had no friends around; her only friends, Amy and her family, along with the maid, were all very expressive. Her grandparents would also try to make her laugh. The only one without expression was her father, who sat motionless and silent on her bedside table. But now her father was better; he not only talked to her but also hugged her like Amy's father had.

"SuSu~, are you as magically gifted as my dad?" Are you as amazing as her dad, like someone who stepped out of a photo?

Qin Feng felt uneasy under the child's gaze. He was different; he had grown up and studied with Lu Junxing since childhood, so he knew almost everything about Lu Junxing. However, he usually handled external matters, while Zhao Chenyu always handled internal matters, so he didn't know that the young lady had returned.

Qin Feng had been quite puzzled as to why President Lu had suddenly asked him to investigate the Gu family. Now, seeing the child, he suddenly realized that something had probably happened to the Gu family, and they were covering up the news.

"No way!" Like Lu Junxing, he had never interacted with children before. Normally, the children of Lu's relatives were strictly disciplined by their own families and dared not make a sound or speak to Lu Junxing. Therefore, he wasn't sure how to get along with children.

Upon hearing the little girl's words, Lu Junxing ordered his men to quickly arrange a child safety seat, then left her alone. With the year-end approaching, there were still many things to handle.

On the other side, Zhao Chenyu was stopping the Sheng family members who knew the news. The Sheng family patriarch had even shamelessly come looking for him. The truth was, Lu Junxing was now the only one in charge at the Lu Corporation. The Lu family patriarch and his parents were all on vacation overseas. The Sheng family was incompetent; his son was a good-for-nothing, and his grandchildren were no better. Now, at his advanced age, he was still working tirelessly for the younger generation of the family. Zhao Chenyu sighed with pity.

"How come you're not fat? My dad came out like this!" An'an said anxiously. Her dad was amazing; they were the same size, so how could they not be fat?

"Get out? Get out of what?"

"It's out!" An'an exclaimed excitedly, slapping Qin Feng's driver's seat. "Didn't you come out? Why aren't you up?"

Qin Feng simply couldn't understand what the child was saying. He then looked in the rearview mirror at Lu Junxing, who was replying to an email, and asked, "Mr. Lu! What does Miss mean?"

Since Lu Junxing took over the company and I started working there, I've been calling Lu Junxing "President Lu." However, they're more casual with each other in private, without the same tension they feel at work.

"Ignore her, she's been watching too many cartoons! It's messed up her brain!" Anyway, Lu Junxing wouldn't tell her daughter that she thought his picture was of her dad, but seeing the little girl's annoying antics was much more comforting than seeing her miserable face, so he didn't tell her to shut up.

"Hmph~, bad daddy, I don't love you anymore!" The little girl had very sharp ears, and angrily put her little hands on her chubby waist, yelling at Lu Junxing, "Why is Amy's daddy so good? And my daddy is so bad!"

Lu Junxing was a little angry. He hated children making unreasonable noise, especially his own child. He saw An'an speaking so irritably, but thinking about what the child had suffered today, he held back and patiently asked the little girl...

"Then what do you think is wrong with me?" Even though he hadn't fulfilled his duties as a father since her birth, he didn't really care what his child thought of him.

"Hmph! You're saying An'an is no good!"

Look how angry the little girl is, even her words are flowing smoothly. Seeing her pouty face, her chubby cheeks puffed up like a little dolphin, Lu Junxing's anger unconsciously dissipated. He couldn't resist poking the little girl's cheek.

"Fine! You're not stupid anymore, are you?"

"Slap!" The little girl raised her hand and slapped away the hand that was messing with her face, becoming even angrier.

"Hmph! You even poked someone's face~"

"Even Amy's poop doesn't behave like this! You're a bad poop! Waaah~"

"So, what's Amy's father like?" Seeing the little girl's lips tremble as she was about to burst into tears, Lu Junxing quickly changed the subject. Before he knew it, he was chatting with the child, and he realized that communicating with people wasn't always tiring or annoying; on the contrary, he felt an unprecedented sense of ease and joy.

Qin Feng, who was driving in the front seat, observed the somewhat disharmonious atmosphere in the back, but he sensed an unprecedented relaxation in Lu Junxing and a warm camaraderie among them. Although President Lu wasn't smiling, Qin Feng saw a genuine smile in his eyes, a smile he had never seen before.

"Hmph~ Anyway, it's not like you. Amy's poop is really tall, that tall!" An'an remembered the height of Amy's poop and gestured with her little hands. After crying about being pushed down by that bad woman, she had applied medicine and didn't feel any pain anymore, so she didn't remember it much. Then she enthusiastically introduced it.

"He buys her toys and candy, feeds her, and takes her to the amusement park and plays hide-and-seek with her~"

"Keep Amy in your arms, that way she won't have to walk."

As she spoke, the little girl's eyes gradually welled up with tears, her voice grew softer, and her head drooped lower and lower without her realizing it. She realized she didn't have any of these things. She really wanted a dad like that, but it seemed her dad didn't like her that much. His face was always cold, he never smiled at her, and sometimes he was even stern.

"Amy also said that her dad tells her stories and sleeps with her."

"besides...."

The little girl became more and more upset as she spoke. Was she very naughty, which was why no one wanted to play with her?

Looking into the little girl's watery eyes, already red and swollen from crying, and seeing her holding back her tears, Lu Junxing felt a pang of annoyance. He picked her up, and she immediately wrapped her arms around his neck, sobbing. Unlike her loud crying that afternoon after being bullied, her silent weeping seemed to be a testament to his inadequacy. He stiffly raised his hand to soothe her head.

"Ugh~, I want to go to Fat Mama's!"
