Susu couldn't explain the whole situation to him clearly for a moment, but seeing him wanting to protect Tiantian, she said, "Put Tiantian down. Today, your palm must be spanked."
Tiantian hugged Tianyi tightly, crying, "Daddy..."
"Calling me Daddy won't help. You must be punished today." Susu tried to take Tiantian from Tianyi without hesitation.
Tianyi dodged her and continued to shield Tiantian, saying, "What are you doing? Don't take your anger out on the child!"
Susu stared at him in amazement and said, "I'm not taking my anger out. I need to discipline her. Tiantian can't go on like this..."
"The child is still young. Teach her slowly. You calm down first." Tianyi, without understanding the reason, was determined to prevent Susu from spanking the child.
Susu was angry at his indiscriminate spoiling of Tiantian, saying, "I've always been calm..."
Before Susu could finish, Tianyi interrupted her, "I'll take Tiantian back to the room. We can talk after the children are asleep."
Susu watched Tianyi carry away the still sobbing Tiantian, feeling that he was the unreasonable one.
"Auntie, it's my fault. I shouldn't have upset sister, and I'm sorry for upsetting you and Uncle." Tang Tang carefully tugged at her clothes.
"It's not your fault." Susu felt sorry for Tang Tang's maturity and her own daughter Tiantian's excessive pampering. She hoped Tang Tang could influence Tiantian and help her overcome her selfish and domineering nature.
Hengheng also ran over and said, "Tiantian is always like this, crying. She's not learning, so I'll teach you."
Susu also encouraged Tang Tang, saying, "That's right, it's not your fault that Tiantian cries. You go play. I'll find another opportunity to educate her."
Tang Tang was no longer as worried or scared. She said sensibly, "Auntie, don't argue with Uncle. Everyone should be happy."
"Okay, we'll talk nicely." Susu smiled and watched the two children play.
When the children were asleep, she returned to the room and saw Tianyi had showered and was leaning on the bed, looking at his phone.
The words she had held back for a long time couldn't be contained any longer. She blurted out, "Tianyi, you shouldn't have protected Tiantian today. You don't know how willful she is, and when playing with Hengheng and Tang Tang, she insists that everyone revolve around her!"
"Alright, alright," Tianyi said calmly. "Tiantian wasn't in a good mood tonight. I'll talk to her properly tomorrow and let her realize this is wrong."
Susu stared at him and said, "You must discipline her tomorrow. Your tone should be serious, not too soft!"
"I know." Tianyi got up and came to her side, saying, "Look at you. Children will inevitably squabble when they play together. Is it necessary to be so serious?"
Susu pushed him away, refusing his embrace, and said, "I watched them the whole time tonight and saw everything clearly. It's Tiantian's personality that's the problem. If you keep spoiling her and don't discipline her properly, our daughter will be ruined by you."
Tianyi still held her and said, "You're exaggerating. She's only a few years old. I'll pay attention in the future and absolutely won't spoil her too much."
"You must do as you say," Susu was still dissatisfied with his dismissive attitude.
Tianyi changed the subject and asked, "You've been accompanying Tang Tang at home these days. Has she adapted?"
"Almost. This child is quite adaptable and very sensible," Susu praised.
Tianyi agreed, "Tang Tang is indeed well-behaved and lovely. Our Tiantian should learn more from her."
"That's exactly what I mean, but Tiantian not only doesn't get along well with Tang Tang, but she also acts up. I'm afraid she'll hurt Tang Tang's self-esteem."
"Alright, I understand. You've accompanied the children all day, and it's time for us to sleep." With that, he pulled her onto the bed and held her in his arms.
Susu used the moves Daisy taught her, bent her knees to brace against him, and then hooked her fist, successfully breaking free and sitting up. She said, "Wait, I have something else to say."
Tianyi grabbed her fist, pulled her back into his embrace, and smiled faintly, "It seems your boxing training wasn't in vain. Your movements are fluid."
Susu blushed and struggled, "But I still can't match you."
"What do you want to tell me that requires you to use your fists?" Tianyi asked with a deeper smile.
Susu leaned against him and said, "It's nothing much, I just want to sit and talk with you."
"How can we not talk like this? Go ahead."
Susu turned to face him and said, "Do you think we should buy some insurance, and does your group need any insurance?"
Tianyi said "Ah" and asked, "Why do you suddenly think about buying insurance? Our group's insurance is handled by professional financial planners. As for whether the children at home need additional insurance, you can decide."
"Okay, I know. Daisy called me today and said that Shao Hua is selling insurance and wants to help him with business. I thought if we need it, we could support them."
Tianyi asked with some surprise, "That person sells insurance?"
"Daisy said he lost his job and just found a job as an insurance salesman." Susu was also curious about this person's identity.
Judging from Shao Hua's appearance and demeanor, he didn't seem like someone without a stable job. She felt that what Tianyi had said earlier might be true.
Could this person be a con man who specifically targets women?
But she had already warned Daisy, and from Daisy's tone today, she seemed to be falling for him.
"Since Daisy is asking for your help, you decide. Remember to have Gui Nan review the contract when signing the insurance policy. As long as it's a legitimate company and a standard contract, it's fine." Tianyi couldn't judge for himself at the moment and decided to have someone investigate Shao Hua's background.
After all, this person was getting closer to Daisy, which meant they would inevitably come into contact with them more often.
"Okay, I understand." Susu said, feeling a bit sleepy. She closed her eyes in his arms and fell asleep as soon as she said it.
Tianyi truly envied her ability to fall asleep instantly, never worrying about her sleep problems.
However, he, holding her, found it difficult to sleep. He thought about the reliable information that Huangfu Group was also investing in building a glass factory and was secretly trying to poach their technical personnel.
It seemed Huangfu Sisong was envious of the high profits of their glass factory. To compete for international business, he had to come up with a countermeasure quickly.
...
In the middle of the night, Huangfu Shaohua, feeling exhausted, was about to fall into a deep sleep when he was woken by a knock on the door.
He thought Daisy had forgotten something and had returned, so he went to open the door directly, wrapped in his blanket.
"Don't go back tonight, stay here with me..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw that the person standing at the door was not Daisy, but his mother, and he was stunned.
"Who are you asking to stay here with you?" Wu Xiufang said as she walked into the house he was currently living in, looking around.
Huangfu Shaohua quickly closed the door, wanting to tidy the wrinkled bedsheets.
"Mom, how did you find me? You didn't say anything before coming." He hurriedly tried to smooth over the traces left by Daisy on the bed, but the blanket on his body loosened.
He quickly and awkwardly covered his naked body and asked, "Mom, what are you looking around for?"
