Chapter 9: Art Dad and Little Princess Wang Shiling

  Someone who is lazy to the extreme would be overjoyed if they heard someone praising themselves like that. Unfortunately, this guy won't hear it, but Guo Xiaoyu is still overjoyed. He really didn't expect Zhang Yan to settle things so easily. Zhang Yan was different from other dads, his career was on the rise, and due to the special nature of his job, he spent most of his time abroad. In Guo Xiaoyu's opinion, Zhang Yan should be the hardest to deal with, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be so easy. Now Guo Xiaoyu is full of confidence in dealing with the other few families.

  After having eaten his fill and settled the matter, Guo Xiaoyu was ready to head home. Before leaving, he specifically instructed Zhang Zheng and his son that the formal invitation letter from Mango TV would be sent to them soon. Seeing Zhang nodding in agreement, Guo Xiaoyu felt relieved and bid farewell to them with a wave of his hand.

  "Even if I've settled with Lian Zhang, the other dads are still easy pickings." With this arrogant mindset, Guo Xiaoyu headed towards her own home.

  Guo Xiaoyu hadn't even arrived home when the phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and saw that the caller ID displayed three big characters: "He Laoshi" (Teacher He). Guo Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat with excitement: "Something good must be happening."

  As expected, Mr. He told Guo Xiaoyu that he had invited Li Xiang to dinner that night and asked Guo Xiaoyu to come along.

  "Hmm." Upon hearing this news, Guo Xiaoyu excitedly hugged her phone and kissed it.

  This Li Xiang is now the host of Mango TV, and more importantly, her husband and daughter are exactly Guo Xiaoyu's targets, Wang Yuelun and his daughter Wang Shiling. Seeing himself one step closer to his target, how can Guo Xiaoyu not be excited?

  ……

  The nights and days of Xiangcheng are all the same, that is "lively". But the night's liveliness is different from the day's liveliness. The daytime liveliness is more of a kind of restlessness, a kind of depression. And the night's liveliness, it's a kind of spreading happy information. The lights are shining brightly, the crowds are endless; the sounds of people are deafening, the city that never sleeps. It's probably just like this!

  However, Guo Xiaoyu didn't have the heart to appreciate the night view at this moment. His mind was entirely on the two people in front of him - a tall and short, male and female pair. These two were Wang Yuelun and his treasured daughter, Wang Shiling.

  Guo Xiaoyu now has a good understanding of Wang Shiling's appetite, which is really not covered up. From the beginning to the end of the meal, her mouth never stopped moving. Guo Xiaoyu was really curious, what size of stomach was hidden in that small body of hers!

  The meal had been finished for a long time, and at this moment, Guo Xiaoyu was sitting in a cafe with them. Guo Xiaoyu sat next to He Laoshi, opposite Wang Yuelun and his wife, while our little princess Wang Shiling was playing with a group of children not far away.

  "This coffee shop is quite interesting, it actually has a small children's playground in the middle of the store."

  "Yes." After hearing Guo Xiaoyu's words, Li Xiang nodded and said: "This coffee shop is opened by a friend of mine. She told me that although she likes coffee, she doesn't like the quiet environment of coffee shops, which makes it feel especially cold and lacking in human touch."

  "This friend of yours is quite interesting." Upon hearing this, Teacher He also became interested: "Then how did your friend end up opening his own coffee shop?"

  "It's actually a very nice coincidence." Li said with a smile: "One time, this friend of mine came to my house to play, she saw Ange and played especially happily with her. After she finished eating, she told me that she was planning to open a coffee shop, a coffee shop specifically for little kids, she said that kids are especially innocent, wherever there are kids, it feels especially warm. And so, this coffee shop came into being."

  After listening to Li Xiang's story, Mr. He couldn't help but sigh and say, "This friend of yours is really a romantic at heart!"

  "Who says it isn't?" Li Xiang said, "If it were someone else, who would have the courage to open a coffee shop in their own home."

  At this time, Guo Xiaoyu, who was on the side, heard them mention the topic of children and asked curiously: "Does An Ge like to come here to play?"

  "She likes to come here and play, but... " Li Xiang paused for a moment before continuing: "But my husband and I are both very busy with work, so she rarely has time to come here and play." As he spoke, Li Xiang looked over at Wang Shiling, who was playing happily in the distance, his face filled with apology.

  "Yes." Wang Yuelun said beside him, "Actually, we also want to spend more time with Ange, but we have our own work, so..." He let out a deep sigh.

  Guo Xiaoyu's eyes lit up when she heard their words: "There's hope!" From what they said, it seemed that they actually wanted to accompany their daughter, and as long as they were willing, Guo Xiaoyu would have an opportunity.

  He hastily asked: "What if there's a chance for you to take Wang Dao out alone, what do you think?"

  "Me, take her out alone?" Wang Yue Lun pointed at himself with an incredulous face and said: "Forget it, I really can't handle Angel. Although I like playing with her, she has to be by my side, otherwise I really don't know how to take care of her."

  "I'll go along with that." Li Xiang said from the side: "Let our artist Wang Dao also experience the taste of bringing children."

  Although Guo Xiaoyu knew that Li Xiang was just joking, he had to take it seriously. Only in this way could he have a greater chance of getting them to agree to participate in the show.

  "I think so too, let Yuelun be alone with the child for a few days, it will not only help Yuelun but also An Ge." Mr. He, who was standing aside, understood Guo Xiaoyu's idea and chimed in: "Letting Yuelun and An Ge be alone for a few days will definitely enhance An Ge's independence."

  "Not true." Li Xiang suddenly seemed to think of something, pointing at He Laoshi and asked: "There's more to what you're saying! I've known you for so many years, don't think I don't know your little tricks? You must have something on your mind, spit it out, don't give me this nonsense here."

  "He..." Mr. He looked at his own actions being exposed, and could only give Guo Xiaoyu a glance while scratching his head in embarrassment.

  "Let's not say it, you don't say it, I'll just guess myself." Li Xiang's finger stopped in mid-air, his face a thoughtful expression, muttering to himself: "Kid, this thing must be related to Ange, and then you mentioned Yue Lun, but you never mentioned me, so this thing is definitely related to Yue Lun and Ange, but not me, what exactly is it?"

  "Right." Li Xiang suddenly pointed at Guo Xiaoyu and said: "Originally, Kuang had invited me to dinner today, I felt something was off. He's a workaholic, especially with the recording tomorrow, how could he possibly invite us to dinner tonight? In the past, at this time, he would definitely be rehearsing his lines. What's even stranger is that he brought you along too. If he had brought your parents, I wouldn't think much of it, but bringing you...I just can't figure it out. Shouldn't you be meeting King Zhou by now? How could you still be here chatting with us about father-daughter issues?"

  "I'm just idle and love to sleep, is it worth your while to remember this?"

  Before Guo Xiaoyu could finish speaking, Li Xiang continued: "So, it's not Jiong finding Yue Luan and Ange, but you finding them. But what can you do by finding them? You still have to go through Jiong?"

  "Auntie, I'll just say it straight out." Guo Xiaoyu saw that they really had to go first, so she directly told them about the arrangement of the show "Where Are We Going, Dad?"

  "Let them father and daughter go on a variety show?" Li Xiang was very surprised at Guo Xiaoyu's plan.

  "No, no way! You want me to be alone with Ange for two days and three nights? Especially when her mom is not around, she'll definitely make a big fuss! No way! And besides, I still have work in my hands that hasn't been done yet, and I don't have the time!"

  "It's okay." Guo Xiaoyu hastily said: "The recording time of the program is every Saturday and Sunday, which will not affect the children's schooling."

  "But..."

  Wang Yuelun was about to say something else, but Li Xiang suddenly took over and said, "I think this program is pretty good, we'll participate."

  "Ah!" Wang Yue's eyes widened in shock: "But, but, my work..."

  "What's the big deal...the project you're working on now is already on track, just let your deputy director take care of it. Besides, didn't Xiaoyu say that we'll only be filming for two days a week, it won't interfere with work. It's settled then."

  Seeing Li Xiang's expression, Wang Yuelun knew it was hopeless and had to change his approach, saying: "In any case, we should ask An Ge for her opinion."

  "Let's ask her," said Li Xiang, calling Wang Shiling over and asking, "Ange, how about going out to play with Dad on Saturday and Sunday?"

  "Hmm..." Wang Shiling thought for a moment and asked, "Is Mom going?"

  "Mom won't go first, you and dad will go first, okay?"

  "Hmm..." Wang Shiling, who was originally very happy, felt a bit resistant when she heard that her mother wasn't going.

  At this time, Guo Xiaoyu, who felt that something was not right, hurriedly said: "Xiao Yi will also go with you." Guo Xiaoyu's sister, Guo Xiao Yi, and Wang Shiling were classmates and good friends, so he said so. However, unfortunately, Guo Xiaoyu did not know Wang Shiling, so he wanted He Laoshi to help him make a connection.

  "Is Xiaoyi going too?"

  Seeing Guo Xiaoyu nodding in agreement, Ange finally agreed.

  “Yes”

  "Alright, Jiong, Xiao Yu, we'll head home first. Let us know when you've confirmed the recording schedule and we'll arrange our time. Now, I'll take Ange back to rest." After bidding farewell to Guo Xiaoyu and He Laoshi, they left ahead of the others.

  After Li Xiang and his family left, Mr. He patted Xiao Yu's shoulder and said, "Good boy! You've got it! I knew you had potential since you were a kid!"

  "I think you're different from other kids, I've finally seen it today, good job!"

  "Haha......" Guo Xiaoyu faced He Laoshi's praise and could only smile, he couldn't say that he had crossed over from another world.

  "Alright, it's getting late too, I'll send you home."

  "Oh, okay." Guo Xiaoyu quickly caught up with Mr. He's footsteps.

  "Art dad Wang Yue-lun, little princess Wang Shiling, settled!" After returning home, Guo Xiaoyu fell asleep with such excitement, and in his dream, the corners of his mouth were always hanging with a sweet smile, so brilliant!

  PS: The kids and dads will be appearing one after another! Also, some of the nicknames are given by me myself, hope you all like them!
