Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Jiang Fan’s Parenting Philosophy (2)

"AHHHH!!!!"

A sharp shriek rang out, and Jiang Fan shot bolt upright.

He leaped out of bed, stood by the window with his arms crossed, and stared warily at Yin Ruxue.

"Y-y-you didn’t do anything to me, did you?!"

"I’m telling you, that’ll cost you extra!"

Seeing Jiang Fan’s antics, Yin Ruxue was stunned for a moment before laughing in exasperation.

’You stole all my lines! What am I supposed to say now? Those are all my lines!’

She was clearly the one who had been taken advantage of, yet this man was acting as if he had suffered some great injustice.

"Let me tell you, you’ve ruined my innocence! You have to take responsibility!"

Jiang Fan even raised a hand as if to wipe away tears.

"Get lost!"

Yin Ruxue snorted coldly, no longer bothering with this jerk.

Seeing that her anger had mostly subsided, Jiang Fan secretly sighed in relief.

’Damn, that was close. Weren’t we sleeping so far apart? When did she sneak into my arms?’

’Speaking of which, where did Mengmeng sneak off to?’

Just as they both realized this, they saw Mengmeng sit up from under the covers at the foot of the bed.

"Daddy, Mommy, what are you fighting about?"

"Please don’t fight, okay?"

"Is it morning yet?"

Mengmeng said in a cute, sleepy voice, rubbing her eyes.

"No, Mommy wasn’t fighting with Daddy. We were just playing around."

"Mengmeng, hurry and get up, or you’ll be late."

Yin Ruxue scooped her up. Just then, Nanny Chen, having heard the noise outside, came in.

"Nanny Chen, please take Mengmeng to wash up."

"Of course, Miss, Young Master. Breakfast is ready."

"Okay."

Yin Ruxue nodded.

Jiang Fan glanced at her, slipped on his slippers, and dashed out the door, ruffling Mengmeng’s hair into a mess as he passed.

"Daddy, you’re so mean!"

Mengmeng giggled.

Seeing there was still plenty of time before work, Jiang Fan offered, "How about I take Mengmeng to school today?"

"You?"

Yin Ruxue was taken aback, but after a moment’s thought, she nodded in agreement.

’Mengmeng needs her father’s company more.’

"Yay! Daddy’s taking me to school!!"

Mengmeng was ecstatic.

"Finish your breakfast quickly, okay? Otherwise, I won’t take a little girl who isn’t being good to school."

Jiang Fan gently flicked her forehead.

"Mengmeng is good! Mengmeng is the best little girl!"

She dug into her breakfast, and in no time, she had gulped down a whole glass of milk, her wide eyes fixed on Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan was momentarily confused. He glanced at Yin Ruxue, then back at Mengmeng, before it dawned on him. "Wow! Mengmeng, you’re amazing!"

"Haha, I knew Daddy was the best."

Mengmeng squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

After they quickly finished breakfast, Jiang Fan drove Mengmeng to the school gate.

"Mengmeng, it’s time to go to school."

"Mengmeng?"

Jiang Fan called out twice.

"Oh, sorry, Daddy. I was thinking about something."

"What about?"

"I want to wait a little longer before going into school."

Hearing her strange request, Jiang Fan was a little confused.

"Why? Did something happen?"

"Look, your teachers and classmates are waiting for you at the gate."

Jiang Fan said, pointing to the school gate in the distance.

"I... I just want to wait a little longer."

But Jiang Fan caught a flicker of fear in Mengmeng’s eyes.

It was as if she was afraid of something.

Just then, he saw two teachers at the school gate tidying up a chubby little boy’s clothes.

And that was precisely the source of Mengmeng’s fear.

"Mengmeng, is one of the other kids bullying you at school?"

"Daddy..."

"Little girls can’t tell lies, you know. Lying is what naughty little girls do."

This sentence made Mengmeng’s lip tremble. "He’s always teasing me at school."

"He pulls my hair and says I don’t have a daddy."

"He even said you’re a fake daddy."

As she spoke, the tears that had welled up in her big eyes began to fall like pearls from a broken string.

"He’s talking nonsense. How could Daddy be fake?"

"Let me tell you something. We don’t start fights, but we don’t let others bully us. If another kid bullies you, you bully them right back."

"No matter what happens, Daddy will have your back."

Jiang Fan pulled her over and sat her on his lap, speaking gently.

"Even though you’re a girl, girls can be just as strong as boys!"

"Daddy will tell you a story. In history, there was a female general named Fu Hao. She was a military commander during the Shang Dynasty who pacified many territories, like the Ghost Region and the Qiang Region, and she protected the borders."

"She is the first female general in our history with definite written records. She was also an outstanding stateswoman and the queen of King Wu Ding of the Shang Dynasty."

"She accomplished things that many men couldn’t, and countless men even looked up to her as their idol."

"Wow!"

"Mengmeng wants to be a girl like General Fu Hao!!!"

"That way, no one will dare to bully me anymore, and I can protect Daddy and Mommy!"

A light now shone in Mengmeng’s eyes, and she had long forgotten about crying.

Jiang Fan licked his lips and grinned.

’That’s more like it. What kid gets bullied and doesn’t fight back? They’d just be a fool, right?’

’But if Yin Ruxue finds out about this...’

The thought made Jiang Fan shudder. ’That woman is definitely crazy. She can’t find out!’

"Mengmeng, listen. This is a little secret between you and Daddy. You can’t tell Mommy, okay?"

"Okay!"

Mengmeng nodded at once, her little face full of determination as she waved her small fists.

"Mengmeng is the strongest! I’ll be a girl like General Fu Hao!"

"Daddy, let’s go to school now!"

"Alright."

By the time Jiang Fan walked Mengmeng to the school gate and handed her over to the teacher, the chubby little boy was nowhere to be seen.

"Bye-bye, Daddy."

Mengmeng said, waving her little hand at Jiang Fan.

"Alright, sweetie. See you tonight."

After dropping off Mengmeng, Jiang Fan turned and headed back to the company.

As he passed the security office, he noticed that Su Qingci wasn’t there.

This improved his mood considerably.

’At least I don’t have to be constantly stared at by that woman.’

’She stares at me like I’m a criminal.’

"If you cut it this close getting to the office again, watch out for Manager Li."

Jiang Fan had just sat down at his desk when Sun Yanzi’s leisurely voice drifted over.

Instantly, Jiang Fan felt as if his head had been hit by two large watermelons, and the warm sensation made him freeze.

Placing a breakfast on Jiang Fan’s desk, Sun Yanzi stood behind him, leaning on his chair with both hands, her breath fragrant.

"Ahem, well, I wasn’t late, was I? She shouldn’t have any reason to give me trouble."

Jiang Fan coughed awkwardly.

But sometimes, it’s a case of speak of the devil.

"Jiang Fan, come to my office for a moment."

Li Muwan’s voice suddenly rang out.
