Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Spring Blooms_1 Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Spring Blooms_1 He suddenly became as if fixed by the Fixed Body Technique, sitting motionless, with Shanshan lying on his broad chest, her little head raised, looking at his stern expression.

Mu Yingchen silently chanted the name etched in his heart, “Su—Wan—xia—”

How long had it been since he’d heard that name, so incredibly familiar, infuriatingly familiar!

“Daddy…”

He was jolted awake and looked down to see the pitifully cute little girl gazing up at him with a face full of grievance.

That moment—

His heart was hit by a tidal wave of shock, and then, it was replaced by a boiling ecstasy!

Daddy? She called him Daddy?

Looking at the little face in front of him that so closely resembled her, he couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh. The first time he saw her, he thought she looked a lot like her, but he didn’t take it to heart—after all, there are many people who look alike.

Furthermore, when he was with her, she was always on medication. He never had, nor had he ever dared to fantasize that this little girl turned out to be his and her child!

He carefully reached out his hand, wiping the tear stains off her small face, his hand feeling the vulnerable and tender skin of the child, softening Mu Yingchen’s heart.

His obsidian-like eyes swept across with a thick hue of tenderness, and the ecstatic joy inside made him unconsciously curve his beautiful lips.

This was his and her child, they had a child, they really did have a child!

The knots in his heart seemed to unravel in an instant, the oppressive mood vanishing cleanly like a whirlwind, his face as handsome as a deity now wore a stunningly enchanting smile.

He gently picked up Shanshan’s small body and rose as well, his deep eyes sweeping over the stunned onlookers, his voice lavish and magnetic as he announced, “See for yourself, this is my daughter, Shanshan—”

Then without giving another look to the thunderstruck crowd, he walked towards the door, carrying the little one in his arms.

Shanshan clung tightly around her daddy’s neck, so overjoyed she had virtually forgotten her own name.

As they passed the trio at the door, Mu Yingchen gave them a sharp glance; they actually knew before he did, the father, which was super annoying!

No sooner had the father and daughter stepped out of the conference room than one of Shanshan’s bodyguards approached with a troubled look, holding a mobile phone.

“Little Miss, a call from Miss—”

Immediately, Shanshan tensed up, covering her mouth with tiny hands, looking pitifully at her own dad.

What to do? What to do? Mommy had discovered her absence so quickly, if she were to find out she ran to find Daddy, her little behind would certainly be doomed—

Mu Yingchen’s eyes narrowed at the mention of Miss. So it was her?

His heart leapt, and under the watchful eyes of the bodyguard and Shanshan, he slowly took the phone, then hesitated a moment before putting it to his ear.

“Shanshan! Mommy is warning you, if you don’t come back, believe it or not, Mommy will spank your little behind until it blooms!”

“Little girl, start talking, how dare you sneak out like this, you really think Mommy won’t spank you, huh?”

The familiar voice rang in Mu Yingchen’s ear—exasperated, furious, yet to his ears, there was no hint of threat; it sounded rather willful, a bit petulant, and even—a bit cute.

In his arms was his precious daughter, and on the phone was the woman he’d been craving night after night, searching for across the world.

At this moment, he felt as if his world had blossomed into spring, his heart no longer cold, filled with an undissolvable warmth.

He smirked, his voice low and gentle, “I quite fancy the idea of spanking your little behind until it blooms…”

This woman, not only had she abandoned him again, but she’d also hidden in a place he could never seem to find.

What’s even more infuriating is that they had a child, and she didn’t even tell him, just kept hiding from him, avoiding him!

This despicable woman!

When he sees her, he must give her a thorough scolding!

The Su Wanxia on the other end of the phone was instantly stupefied. The phone clattered to the ground, and she stared blankly at the phone lying there, eyes wide with shock, heart pounding wildly–

Her face full of disbelief, she just couldn’t understand how that person’s voice could possibly come from the other end of the phone!

“Wanxia… what’s wrong, what happened to Shanshan? Is there any problem?”

“Yeah, Xiaxia, please talk, what exactly happened to Shanshan?”

“Wanxia, stop zoning out, hurry up and tell us what happened?”

Mu Yingchen squinted his eyes as he finished listening to the voice on the phone, and without another word, he picked up Shanshan and ran in one direction.

“Daddy… where are we going?”

“Is your mommy at your grandma’s house?”

“Yeah–”

“That’s right–”

Mu Yingchen, holding Shanshan, quickly ran towards the elevator. He needed to get to the Su family as soon as possible; he was afraid that if he was late, that woman might think of slipping away, which would be troublesome.

As he ran with Shanshan in his arms, the four bodyguards were also running after him. Seeing this, Mu Feng and others started running along with them, creating a rather spectacular scene.

It left the high-level managers behind them stunned–

The sky’s about to rain blood; the CEO is losing his mind–

Su Wanxia, shocked by the voices of her family, came back to her senses and then looked at them urgently.

“Shanshan went to find Mu Yingchen, she’s with him now, what should we do?”

Su Wanxia was extremely anxious. After having dinner, she went upstairs to chat with Jian Manhui. When going upstairs, that little girl was clearly having fun with her grandmother. Who would have thought that when they came downstairs, the little girl was nowhere to be seen.

This left everyone there in a panic, and they quickly ran outside, only to learn from the bodyguards that the little girl had taken a few people and left.

The little girl had left in such a hurry that she didn’t even take her cellphone or purse, so they had to call the bodyguards’ phone. As soon as the call connected, she hadn’t even had time to ask where they were before letting the little girl take the phone. But instead of the little girl’s voice, it was that familiar, pleasant voice–

Su Wanxia was truly startled; she had never imagined she would suddenly hear his voice, and what was even more unexpected was that Shanshan, the little rascal, had actually gone to find Mu Yingchen. How did she find him?

No one had told her where Mu Yingchen was. How on earth could a little girl find him?

Oh God! She felt like she was going insane–

“What? Shanshan is actually with Mu Yingchen?” Jian Manhui also yelled incredulously.

She just talked with Wanxia upstairs a little longer. How did the little girl end up at her daddy’s place so quickly?

“No, no, I have to go out and hide,” said Su Wanxia in a panic. Things had happened too suddenly, and she was having a hard time accepting it, especially since she didn’t know how to face Mu Yingchen.

He must certainly know she’s at home now; he might even be on his way there.

The moment Su Wanxia thought of the sentence Mu Yingchen had said to her on the phone just a while ago, she became as frantic as an ant on a hot pan.
