Ye Jinghuai completely ignored Zhou Moyang's words.
By the time the car brought the father and daughter back home, the mess in the dining room had already been cleaned up.
"Ao ao~" (Little one, are you alright?) Qiuqiu quickly ran over to nuzzle Nuan Nuan.
"Qiuqiu, Nuan Nuan is fine!" Nuan Nuan bent down and hugged Qiuqiu to comfort her.
"Qiuqiu was very good today."
"Ao~ Ao ao ao ao~" (It's good that you're fine. It wasn't my turn to show off today. Wait for me next time, I'll definitely bite them to death.) Qiuqiu kept nudging Nuan Nuan with its nose.
"Hehehe, Nuan Nuan's tummy is very full~"
Qiuqiu happened to nudge Nuan Nuan's stomach, making her giggle from the tickles.
"Alright Nuan Nuan, it's time for bed." Ye Jinghuai walked over and interrupted the playing pair.
"Okay, Daddy~"
Nuan Nuan could now crawl upstairs by holding onto the wall. She insisted on climbing the stairs herself every day and refused to be carried.
So, every day, a little dumpling could be seen inching up the stairs, holding onto the wall, with a short, stout little Alaskan Malamute following closely behind, cheering her on.
After her bath, Nuan Nuan was put into bed.
"Daddy~ Goodnight! Mwah~" She then blew two kisses to Ye Jinghuai.
"Okay, sleep early, Nuan Nuan."
Ye Jinghuai only left after watching Nuan Nuan fall asleep.
Qiuqiu sat in its dog bed, gazing at Nuan Nuan's sleeping face for a long time before lying back down and falling into a sweet slumber.
After He Manman was fired, Ye Jinghuai decided not to hire any more teachers for Nuan Nuan for the time being. He didn't want any more inexplicable people showing up, and Nuan Nuan was still young.
One day, Liu Ruhua suddenly visited, saying she wanted to take Nuan Nuan out.
"Grandma, what are we doing?" Nuan Nuan tilted her head, looking at Liu Ruhua.
"My dear, Grandma is taking you shopping to buy pretty dresses, okay? Then you can accompany Grandma to a party, it'll be lots of fun!"
In fact, Liu Ruhua had been posting Nuan Nuan's daily life in the ladies' circle. Today she would brag about how cute her darling was, and tomorrow she would boast about how considerate her darling was.
Although they had all attended Nuan Nuan's welcome banquet last time, they hadn't really interacted closely. Everyone was eager to see Nuan Nuan again after hearing Liu Ruhua's stories, and they had all requested Liu Ruhua to bring her granddaughter out again for them to see.
"Grandma, Nuan Nuan has many dresses! Grandma, you don't need to spend money! Nuan Nuan will accompany Grandma out to play." Nuan Nuan said obediently.
"Oh, my little darling is so thoughtful. Grandma isn't afraid of spending money, and I'm certainly not afraid of spending it on my darling's clothes! Come, Grandma is taking you out to play." With that, she reached out to pick Nuan Nuan up.
"Ao ao~" (Little one! Take me, take me.) Qiuqiu wagged its tail and nudged Nuan Nuan.
"Qiuqiu wants to go out to play with Nuan Nuan too?" Nuan Nuan lowered her head and blinked at Qiuqiu.
"Ao~ Ao ao~" (Yes! Yes! It's so boring at home every day.)
"Grandma, can Qiuqiu come too?" Nuan Nuan looked at Liu Ruhua with expectant eyes.
"Yes, yes. Qiuqiu is still small, it won't be a problem with a leash."
"Yay! Qiuqiu, we're going out to play~ Aren't you happy?"
"Ao ao~" (Happy, happy.) Qiuqiu's tail was already wagging like a small whirlwind.
And so, the two of them, plus a dog, leisurely headed to the mall.
"Grandma, your shoes are too high. Nuan Nuan can walk by herself~"
Liu Ruhua was wearing high heels today because she had a party to attend. Nuan Nuan refused to be carried by Liu Ruhua.
"But the mall is crowded, and Grandma is worried about Nuan Nuan walking alone." Liu Ruhua said worriedly.
"Ao ao~" (Big boss mom, I'm still here!)
"Nuan Nuan still has Qiuqiu~" Nuan Nuan insisted on walking by herself.
"Alright then, Nuan Nuan, you walk ahead of Grandma with Qiuqiu. That way, Grandma can always see you, okay?"
"Okay~" Nuan Nuan nodded in agreement.
Qiuqiu happily led Nuan Nuan forward, looking around and sniffing the air as they walked, like a little bodyguard.
"Qiuqiu, Nuan Nuan can keep up!"
From time to time, Nuan Nuan's milky little voice could be heard.
After walking for a while, Liu Ruhua took Nuan Nuan to a children's clothing store. It was much larger than the one Ye Jinghuai had taken Nuan Nuan to, and the selection was more extensive.
"Welcome, Madam!" a store assistant greeted them enthusiastically.
This mall was a high-end establishment, frequented by many wealthy individuals. Therefore, the staff in the store were all well-trained and well-mannered. There was no such thing as looking down on people.
After all, many wealthy people nowadays liked to "act the pig to eat the tiger." You never knew which person dressed in a t-shirt and slippers might spend a fortune the next moment!
"Hello, Sister~" Nuan Nuan also responded politely.
"Hello, little one!"
The store assistant was delighted to see Nuan Nuan. Who wouldn't like a cute and polite little dumpling?
"Little girl, recommend a few outfits for my granddaughter!"
"Certainly, Madam. Please follow me this way."
The assistant politely led them, and Qiuqiu followed obediently, not touching anything in the store.
What followed was Nuan Nuan's personal fashion show. Liu Ruhua kept taking photos with her phone, her smile never fading.
"Oh my, my darling is so beautiful, she looks good in anything."
Liu Ruhua looked at Nuan Nuan, who was wearing a little red qipao. Her hair had been styled into cute double buns by the store assistant. She was adorable, and Liu Ruhua couldn't stop praising her.
"Madam, this little qipao is hand-stitched by our master. The fabric is also skin-friendly and does not irritate a child's skin. This is our most expensive item." the store assistant explained.
"It's nice. Pack up the ones I tried before as well. I'll take them all." Liu Ruhua said with a wave of her hand.
"Certainly, I'll go right away." The store assistant was very happy. A big customer had come today, and her commission for the month would be substantial.
"Oh my! Why is there a dog here?"
Just then, a sharp female voice called out from behind.
Liu Ruhua turned around and saw a sumptuously dressed and wealthy-looking madam in her fifties, accompanied by a beautiful woman in her thirties. The latter was holding a little girl, about five or six years old.

Apology Letter:
I apologize. In the second chapter, I wrote the sentence "A daughter is her father's little lover from a past life."
At the time, I was unaware of the origin of this phrase, which caused discomfort to some readers.
I have now revised the text and hope that those readers have not been discouraged by this. I am very sorry for affecting your reading experience. I have already changed that sentence.
