Chapter 331: 336 Stirring Up of Fatherly Love_1

Zhou Ziqing bit her lower lip. "He’s not back yet, is he!"

"What about when he comes back? Or you move in and get married to your boyfriend?" Qin Muchuan asked.

"Then naturally... I won’t come looking for you!"

Qin Muchuan let out a light huff. "Do you want to find me, or does Duoduo want to find me?"

Zhou Ziqing hurriedly spoke up. "Of course, it’s Duoduo!"

"Exactly, Duoduo is not you. She won’t read facial cues and won’t know when she can look for her father and when she can’t! She will look for him now and continue to when your boyfriend shows up. She won’t consider whether or not she should!"

Zhou Ziqing spoke in an aggrieved tone. "I understand what you mean, and I know it makes sense. But Duoduo is so young, and I really hope she can enjoy as much fatherly love from you as possible during this limited time. Qin Muchuan, I am also aware of your close relationship with Lin Xiangwan. I know you won’t abandon your two children for Duoduo..."

Qin Muchuan squinted his eyes, feeling a little infuriated. "You’re wrong. I definitely did not choose Tongtong and Ranran because they were healthy, and it’s not that Duoduo is unhealthy and I don’t want her!"

Zhou Ziqing’s nose tingled, and she asked in a slightly aggrieved voice, "Then why can others call you ’Dad’, and my Duoduo can’t?"

A look of pain and helplessness crossed Qin Muchuan’s face. Without a doubt, he owed Duoduo a debt he would carry for a lifetime.

He spoke in a low voice. "You should know why."

Zhou Ziqing quickly suppressed her grievances and apologized. "Qin Muchuan, I don’t blame you. I know I’m at fault. Forget everything I’ve said. I just... lost control and felt upset! Continue with your business. I’ll take care of Duoduo!"

"Hmm."

"Goodbye!" Zhou Ziqing hastily ended the call.

"Sister Ziqing, why are you crying?" A younger coworker asked.

"When did I cry? Which eye of yours saw me crying?" Zhou Ziqing glared with wide eyes.

"Oh... I must have seen wrong. Apologies!"

The two junior colleagues left quickly.

Zhou Ziqing stood in front of the restroom mirror, harshly wiping her face with a tissue and re-applying her makeup.

To achieve the desired effect, she’d really cried. However, those were truly false tears.

She forceful stared at herself in the mirror, confidently telling herself, ’Zhou Ziqing, you will win over Qin Muchuan. Patience is key!’

After so many times, she had reevaluated her actions. If she’s too pushy, it won’t achieve a good outcome. What she needed now was to act pitiful, calm, and show some patience.

Then, standing in front of the mirror again, she continually reminded herself. ’Don’t be impatient, don’t get angry, don’t offend Qin Muchuan. She doesn’t need to be direct now but needs some tactics!’

..............

After all, he is a father and Duoduo is such a child!

Although Qin Muchuan had rejected Zhou Ziqing sternly earlier, he still managed to find time to visit her in the afternoon!

When Zhou Ziqing saw Qin Muchuan’s unexpected arrival, she had to fight back tears. "You came? Duoduo, Duoduo, see who’s here to see you? It’s your daddy!"

On seeing Qin Muchuan, Duoduo, who was lying in bed, flailed her limbs and laughed joyfully.

Zhou Ziqing urged her. "Quickly call him daddy, call him daddy!"

"Da...da... da..." The child’s words were blurry, and it was an effort for her to utter them.

Qin Muchuan stood by the bed, smiling at the child and gently touching her little face. "Duoduo!"

Like all children, Duoduo got even happier, waving her tiny hands more excitedly in the air.

As a seasoned father, Qin Muchuan knew that she wanted to be held.

He did not refuse, but bent down to lift the child who had been lying in bed for so long.

Finally able to leave the bed and being held upright made Duoduo even happier. "Ah... ah..." she kept laughing.

"Duoduo, don’t let daddy carry you. Lie down by yourself!" Zhou Ziqing quickly suggested.

Qin Muchuan held his daughter as delicately as if he were holding Tongtong for the first time, even more carefully and attentively. "Duoduo!"

"Muchuan, put her down. You’ll get your clothes dirty!"

"It’s alright, go mind your own business!" Qin Muchuan dismissed Zhou Ziqing without looking at her.

Zhou Ziqing withdrew to one side, watching them with tears welling up and secretly wiping them away.

She played out her endurance, grievances, and kind gentleness to the fullest.

Seeing Zhou Ziqing like this only increased Qin Muchuan’s guilt.

Even though Zhou Ziqing was overeager and clingy, he couldn’t help feeling guilty about her struggles.

Duoduo... wouldn’t it be right for him to treat her well too?

A sense of responsibility welled inside him, leading him to blurt out, "From now on, I’ll come to see Duoduo more often!"

"Da...da...da..." Duoduo cried out happily as if she understood her daddy’s promise!

This time Zhou Ziqing didn’t show immediate joy but gently declined instead. "Qin Muchuan, it’s enough that you remember Duoduo. I really don’t want to disrupt you and Xiangwan. It wouldn’t be good if Xiangwan finds out!"

"That’s not for you to worry about!" Qin Muchuan replied softly.

Zhou Ziqing wiped away her tears. "If Duoduo wasn’t my daughter, I wouldn’t care. But since she is my daughter, I don’t want her presence to impact anything. I mean everything I’ve said, Muchuan!"

The more she said this, the more he condemned himself. "We’ll see how it goes!"

Qin Muchuan picked up a small pastry he’d just bought and fed it to Duoduo.

After Duoduo happily ate a piece, she ate another.

Zhou Ziqing stood at the side, watching the scene with a mix of excitement and sentiment. "Muchuan, do you know, I’ve always imagined this day. But I’ve been afraid of it too. Actually, I’ve wanted to tell you about Duoduo’s existence for a long time, but I feared you would resent Duoduo!"

Qin Muchuan glanced at her. "Don’t think like that!"

"...In any case, I really appreciate it!"

"Duoduo is my daughter!" Qin Muchuan emphasised once more.

"Alright!" Zhou Ziqing nodded and wiped away her tears. "You seem to know well what kind of flavors children like. I haven’t bought these for Duoduo yet!"

Qin Muchuan picked up another small piece and brought it to his daughter’s mouth. "These are all Tongtong’s favorites. I assumed little girls’ tastes would be the same!"

"Oh..." A wave of resentment settled in Zhou Ziqing’s heart. So, her daughter was being fed leftovers from his other daughters?

Although she didn’t like Duoduo, she believed the dignity of the owner should be respected even when beating a dog. This was not just about the children!
