Beloved One of the Prestigious Household-Chapter 20: Ann Only Needs to Be Daddy’s Little Treasure

In an instant, it felt as if an invisible hand had tightly grasped Qin Haochen’s heart, making it difficult for him to breathe, and causing immense discomfort.

"Ann..." Qin Haochen’s eyes welled up with warmth as he tenderly embraced Ann with joy in his arms, bending slightly to encircle the small figure in a protective embrace.

His voice was hoarse and choked with emotion, "Daddy also wants to be with Ann."

Qin Sui’an blinked her round, bright eyes and when she heard Daddy’s words, she happily smiled with her eyes curving into crescents.

Qin Haochen suppressed his emotions deep within, so as not to startle Ann.

He took a deep breath and then carried Ann out of bed, walking into the bathroom. In a gentle voice, he asked, "Ann, do you have time today?"

"Hmm?" Qin Sui’an tilted her head in confusion, then in her sweet voice, she said, "Daddy, does Ann need to sweep and mop the floor? Ann can also wipe the table, but... "

The little one lowered her head, murmuring softly, "Ann can’t reach the tall tables, only the short ones..."

She had been busy doing these chores at the orphanage. Although she was small, she would work hard to keep the house clean and tidy!

Qin Sui’an raised her little face, her round eyes looking firmly at Daddy, and she earnestly said, "Daddy, Ann won’t be lazy!"

Qin Haochen’s footsteps came to a halt.

His expression remained unchanged, but his eyes became unfathomable, concealing endless tenderness for Ann in his arms, as well as an unforgiving ruthlessness towards those who bullied her at the orphanage.

"Ann..." Qin Haochen gently held the slender little hand of Ann, calming his emotions.

Afraid that his expression might be too serious, Qin Haochen slightly raised his lips, breaking into a smile, and tenderly said, "Ann doesn’t need to clean, sweep, or wipe the table. Daddy will arrange for someone else to do those tasks. Ann only needs to do one thing."

"One thing?" Qin Sui’an raised her index finger in disbelief, curiously asking,

"Daddy, what does Ann need to do?"

Qin Haochen affectionately rubbed Ann’s cheek and smiled, "Ann only needs to be Daddy’s little treasure, that’s enough."

"Be Daddy’s little treasure?" Qin Sui’an furrowed her small eyebrows in confusion,

"Daddy, what does the little treasure need to do?"

Qin Haochen continued walking, carrying Ann, and entered the bathroom. Patiently, he said, "The little treasure has many things to do. You need to eat well, sleep well, play well, take good care of yourself, not get hurt, not let others bully you, and definitely not do household chores."

"The little treasure only needs to eat, drink, play, and sleep." Qin Haochen listed them one by one, then lowered his gaze to Ann in his arms and asked, "Ann, can you do it?"

Qin Sui’an widened her round eyes, her small mouth also opened in surprise.

Being Daddy’s little treasure seemed quite easy.

Seeing that the little one was still seriously contemplating, Qin Haochen’s lips curled up, and he continued, "By the way, today the little treasure has an extra task, you need to accompany Daddy to work."

"Accompany Daddy to work?" Qin Sui’an’s round eyes instantly lit up.

That meant she could be with Daddy all day today!

She eagerly nodded her little head, tightly clenched her small fists, and happily said, "Ann can do it! Ann wants to be Daddy’s little treasure and accompany Daddy to work!"

"Really?"

Qin Haochen’s serious expression resurfaced as he warned, "Ann, there will be consequences if you can’t do it."

Qin Sui’an patted her little tummy, widened her round eyes, and earnestly said in her sweet voice, "Daddy, don’t worry, Ann can do it!"

"All right then."

Qin Haochen couldn’t hold back his smile and said, "From now on, Ann is Daddy’s little treasure."

"Good!" Qin Sui’an nodded her little head, "Ann is Daddy’s little treasure."

There were many things that the little treasure needed to do, and many things she couldn’t do.

Ann remembered them all clearly in her heart, strictly following Daddy’s requirements to be a good little treasure.

"Ann, let Daddy test you." Qin Haochen pondered for a moment and asked, "What if someone asks Ann to sweep the floor? What should you do?"

"I will say no."

Qin Sui’an vigorously shook her little head, her sweet voice both cute and serious, "Daddy’s little treasure shouldn’t sweep the floor. There will be consequences if I do it!"

"Correct, that’s it."

Qin Haochen couldn’t help but laugh softly, affectionately rubbing her little head, "Ann is so good."

"Hehe! (^▽^)!"

Qin Sui’an happily pursed her lips.

Qin Haochen paused for a moment and continued, "Let me test you again, my little one."

Qin Sui’an immediately put on a serious expression, blinking her round eyes attentively, listening intently to her daddy’s next question.

"What should you do if someone wants to bully Ann?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Sui’an furrowed her little brows, "Hmm..."

She understood the meaning of bullying.

When someone makes you unhappy or hurts you, they are bullying you. But what should you do when you are being bullied? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

She didn’t know what to do, no one had taught her the right way to handle being bullied.

The little one lowered her head in frustration and softly said, "Daddy, Ann doesn’t know what to do..."

Qin Haochen comfortingly patted her back, gently instructing her, "Don’t be afraid, if you are being bullied, tell Daddy. Don’t keep it a secret, I will protect you."

He patiently continued, "But more importantly, Ann needs to be brave and not let others bully you."

Qin Sui’an listened earnestly to her daddy’s words, and after a while, she understood, "Okay! Ann won’t keep secrets from Daddy! Ann will be brave!"

"That’s right."

Qin Haochen kissed her little cheek, "Ann is very clever, she learns so fast!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Sui’an happily patted her little tummy, "Haha! Ann is clever!"

In the bathroom.

Originally a bathroom belonging solely to Qin Sui’an, it now had Qin Haochen’s toiletries forcefully placed in it.

The pink and tender bathroom, filled with childlike innocence, now had some cold-toned men’s products, appearing out of place yet incredibly warm.

Qin Haochen first picked up the pink children’s toothbrush and helped the little one brush her teeth, wash her face, and then quickly attended to his own grooming.

Qin Sui’an stood at the doorway, joyfully tilting her face upwards, watching Daddy getting ready.

She felt like she was about to fly with happiness,and her cheeks became a little stiff from constant smiling.

Nevertheless, she continued to smile happily, her bright round eyes fixed on her handsome and gentle Daddy.
