The Sweetest Marriage Ch.337

Chapter 337 – Overwhelming Cuteness

The decision was made for Chen Li to attend Q University as an auditing student. It wasn’t a difficult arrangement, as Q University was keen on retaining Chen Li, and this small request naturally fell into place.

With the commencement of classes at Q University, Chen Yunlan unavoidably became busier. After all, not long after returning to the country, he accepted a position as a professor at Q University’s School of Fine Arts. In the new semester, he was in charge of a doctoral class. It wasn’t that he was overwhelmingly busy, but a substantial part of his day was spent on campus.

On the second day of classes, Chen Li planned to audit courses in the Civil Engineering department. He was quite interested in that field, but today, Chen Yunlan happened to have classes, leaving no one to look after Qiuqiu. In the morning, Chen Li was somewhat concerned.

Wei Chen noticed this, ruffled Chen Li’s hair, and said, “I’ll take Qiuqiu to work today, don’t worry.”

Qiuqiu was happily having breakfast and, upon hearing Dad calling his name, responded with a cheerful sound before continuing to enjoy the meal.

“Wouldn’t it be troublesome?” Chen Li asked. He worried that Wei Chen’s busy job might be disrupted by taking care of Qiuqiu at work.

Wei Chen shook his head. “Don’t worry, our chubby Qiuqiu is very well-behaved.”

It seemed Qiuqiu understood that Dad was praising him, and he smiled contentedly.

Feeling somewhat reassured by Wei Chen’s words, Chen Li relaxed a bit.

When it was time, Wei Chen drove Chen Li to school and then headed to the company with Qiuqiu.

Taking a baby out wasn’t just about the baby; Wei Chen’s hands were also occupied with bags and various other items.

Thus, the employees of Changfeng Group witnessed a sight that left them astonished — their wise and stern General Manager Big Iceberg was carrying a chubby, smiling baby to work while juggling bags of all sizes!

Changfeng Group allowed employees to bring children to work in special circumstances, understanding that everyone faces inconveniences at times. They even had caregivers and children’s rooms in each department, and during vacations, they hired childcare professionals to help.

However, no one had ever imagined that one day, the General Manager of Changfeng Group would bring a child to work!

Wei Chen, who always seemed so young, now having a son? Where did that come from?

Anyway, wherever Wei Chen went, it caused quite a stir, even in the internal chat groups of Changfeng Group, which exploded with discussions about Wei Chen bringing his child to work.

“Ah! Oh my goodness! What am I seeing! General Manager Wei actually brought his son to work!!! [Image]”

“His son!!! General Manager Wei has a son!!! Who’s the General Manager’s wife? I’m heartbroken!!!”

“Hey, are you upstairs a new colleague? The general manager has been married for a few years already. We’ve been heartbroken for ages!!!”

“Ah, look at this, the general manager’s gaze is so gentle! No, no, hold me, I’m also getting drowned in the general manager’s eyes [Image]”

This was a close-up photo, the chubby little child was resting on Wei Chen’s shoulder, their features not entirely visible. But the photo was taken very skillfully, capturing the moment when Wei Chen’s eyes fell on Qiuqiu. There wasn’t a hint of coldness, only warmth and immense fatherly love. It’s just heart-melting!

The office chat group went wild again because of this photo, and shortly after, someone finally brought up a crucial question.

“I remember the general manager’s partner is a man, right? So, this child?”

After this question, the group fell silent for a few seconds.

“Why can’t two men have a child together? Adoption or surrogacy are options, right? I bet the general manager’s son is super cute from the back, and the front must be incredibly adorable!”

Indeed, it wasn’t a very critical issue. The topic was successfully redirected to focus on Qiuqiu; everyone was eager to know what the manager’s son looked like.

“So adorable!! [Image]”

An employee posted a quite clear photo taken from behind Wei Chen, presenting Qiuqiu’s appearance.

Qiuqiu had big eyes, pupils as dark as black grapes, seemingly sparkling. His chubby face was rosy and tender. Because it was his first time at Wei Chen’s company, he was curiously observing his surroundings. Suddenly, he cracked a smile, revealing four little teeth.

This child was like a character from a magazine, making people want to pinch and kiss his cheeks.

As expected, after this photo was shared in the work group, there were countless “Ahhh’s” and exclamations. The employees were overwhelmed by the cuteness.

“How can someone be this adorable? I want to pinch those little chubby hands and give them a kiss!”

This adorable photo of Qiuqiu quickly spread within the company’s internal chat groups. In just a dozen minutes, Qiuqiu had won the hearts of most of the female employees.

Ah! Too cute!

Wei Chen was aware that many people had been taking photos of him and Qiuqiu along the way. However, he paid no attention, carrying bags of all sizes, and taking Qiuqiu into the elevator, heading to his office.

Wei Chen had made preparations in advance. Yesterday, he instructed his assistant to set up a crib in the office. Carrying Qiuqiu into the office, Wei Chen settled them in the crib placed conveniently beside his desk. This way, while he worked, he could keep an eye on Qiuqiu to prevent any mishaps.

It was Qiuqiu’s first time visiting his Big Dad’s office. His big eyes roamed curiously without fear, just pure curiosity. When he turned to see Dad sitting in the office chair, Qiuqiu smiled, squinting his eyes, and cheerfully called out, “Da da.”

Wei Chen responded, and Qiuqiu went back to playing with their toys, neither crying nor causing a fuss.

When Sheng Jiaqi heard that Wei Chen brought Qiuqiu to work, he made a special trip to Wei Chen’s office and coincidentally met Zhuge Feng already at the door.

Both had come to see Qiuqiu. They knocked and entered the office, their gazes falling upon Qiuqiu.

Qiuqiu had recently seen them, so he hadn’t forgotten. He now knew how to call Dad and Grandpa; “Da da” was exclusive to Wei Chen and Chen Li, so this time, he called out, “Pa pa.”

This “Pa pa” made Sheng Jiaqi and Zhuge Feng burst into laughter. They crouched by the crib, looking at Qiuqiu, almost unwilling to go to work.

After Wei Chen finished dealing with the documents, Sheng Jiaqi and Zhuge Feng left. Qiuqiu obediently chewed on his rabbit teether and played with a toy car.

Later in the day, there was a meeting, and Wei Chen had his secretary come in to help look after Qiuqiu. The secretary was a mother of two and naturally experienced in handling children. She was also very attentive, which put Wei Chen at ease.

Wei Chen went off to the meeting, leaving Qiuqiu and the secretary in the office. Qiuqiu didn’t know the secretary and curiously watched her with big eyes but didn’t cry.

The secretary thought that in such a new environment and without Dad around, the child would surely cry a lot. To her surprise, the little cub was so well-behaved, sitting in the crib and playing by himself without fuss.

The secretary couldn’t help but be charmed by the adorable sight of this well-behaved baby, unable to take her eyes off Qiuqiu.

The meeting Wei Chen attended wasn’t too long. Upon his return to the office, Qiuqiu saw him and abandoned the rabbit teether in his hand, extending his chubby little arms, asking Wei Chen to pick him up.

Wei Chen lifted Qiuqiu out of the crib, thanking the secretary for her trouble.

“The little master is no trouble at all. He’s very well-behaved,” the secretary remarked, never having seen such an obedient and adorable child.

After the secretary left, Qiuqiu tugged at Wei Chen’s shoulder and rested his head on his shoulder. Wei Chen settled in his chair, holding Qiuqiu with one arm while attending to business matters with the other.

During this time, a few subordinates came in to report their work and witnessed Wei Chen changing Qiuqiu’s diaper and preparing milk. They were secretly amazed. The usually serious and stern General Manager Big Iceberg was effortlessly handling daddy duties with such composure and skill!

Wei ‘Daddy’ Chen didn’t pay any heed to the opinions of his subordinates. He continued to be efficient and focused on work. No one dared to slack off just because Wei Chen had his child with him. Wei Chen didn’t overlook a single issue that needed addressing.

Being tender and gentle with his son didn’t mean he extended the same warmth to his subordinates! With his son around, Wei Chen remained the ruthless and unforgiving iceberg of a General Manager!

That was the unanimous view of the subordinates who came in to report.

Time flew, and it was already noon.

After classes at Q University, Chen Li packed up his notebook, hailed a cab at the school gate, and asked the driver to take him to Changfeng Group.

The receptionist at Changfeng Group remained the same as before and recognized Chen Li. Seeing him approaching, without asking, she dialed the number to the General Manager’s office.

Naturally, Chen Li smoothly entered Wei Chen’s office. When he arrived, Qiuqiu was in the midst of drinking milk, holding the bottle with both hands, happily indulging in the milk.

“Li Li, you’re here,” Wei Chen saw Chen Li come in, showing no surprise, after all, Q University wasn’t too far from there.

Upon hearing the sound, Qiuqiu glanced at Chen Li but was reluctant to leave the bottle. After gulping down the milk, he patted his lips and then extended his chubby little arms, wanting Chen Li to pick him up.

Having not seen each other in the morning, after Chen Li held Qiuqiu, the little cub cozily rubbed his face against Chen Li’s cheek, leaving a milky scent.

Wei Chen kissed Chen Li’s face, targeting the spots Qiuqiu had touched, then affectionately said, “It smells nice.”

After some cuddling together, Chen Li’s stomach rumbled. He had rushed here after classes and hadn’t had lunch yet.

“Let’s go, have lunch,” Wei Chen wrapped his arm around Chen Li’s waist, leading him to the restaurant downstairs at Changfeng Group. He couldn’t bear to let Chen Li go hungry.

At the mention of food, Chen Li’s eyes lit up. He nodded, “Okay.”
