Hard work after winning the lottery

"My little sister smiled!"

Si'an's usually cold face finally broke down, revealing an extremely gentle smile. Even her movements became gentler. "Bite it, you can bite my fingers however you like."

Just then, another series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

Sile rushed in like a gust of wind, carrying a baby bottle in both hands.

He walked up to Hua Yun and tilted the bottle at a standard 45-degree angle.

"drop--"

A drop of white milk landed precisely on the most delicate skin on the inside of his left wrist.

Sile closed her eyes and felt it for two seconds.

"The temperature is just right, not too hot or too cold, I can give my little sister milk now," Sile suddenly opened her eyes, looking proud.

Seeing her second son's exaggerated expression, Hua Yun couldn't help but walk over and ruffle his hair: "Alright, I know you're amazing. Go feed your little sister, she's so hungry she's about to eat her big brother's fingers."

"They're here!"

Just as Sile was about to go over, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and snatched the bottle away.

"My turn! You fed me yesterday, it's my turn today!"

Si Tao suddenly appeared out of nowhere, her hair was messy like a bird's nest, with a single stray hair stubbornly sticking up on her head, but her eyes were surprisingly bright.

"What do you know about breastfeeding! Do you know how to adjust the angle? Do you know how to burp a baby?" Sile jumped up and down indignantly.

"Of course I can! I spent three hours last night in bed reading 'The Golden Nanny's Practical Handbook'!" Si Tao retorted confidently, then turned to Si An with pleading eyes, "Big brother, give me my sister! I can smell her hunger!"

Si'an sighed helplessly and carefully handed the washed and freshened Nuannuan to Si Tao.

"Be careful, support the back of your neck."

"I know!"

Si Tao carried her younger sister and sat down on the single sofa next to her. Her two short legs dangled in mid-air and swayed back and forth to maintain their balance.

He carefully brought the pacifier to his sister's lips.

As soon as Nuannuan touched the pacifier, she immediately opened her little mouth and started sucking on it like a little goldfish.

Si Tao was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe, her eyes fixed on the bottle, afraid that her younger sister would choke.

Just then, Nuannuan's little hand broke free from the swaddling clothes, grabbed wildly in the air a couple of times, and finally grabbed the edge of Sitao's pajamas.

Those tiny fingers gripped the piece of fabric tightly, refusing to let go.

Si Tao was stunned.

He looked down at the small, chubby hand that was less than half the size of his own palm, feeling the slight pull from his clothes.

"Big brother! Second brother! Look!"

He pointed to the hem of his clothes like he was showing off a treasure, "My sister grabbed me! She grabbed me! She doesn't want me to leave!"

Si Le rolled her eyes and mercilessly exposed him: "Stop being so conceited. The book says this is called the grasping reflex, which is an infant's instinct."

"You're talking nonsense!" Si Tao's face flushed red with anxiety. "She just likes me! Look, she's smiling even with her eyes closed! She must feel most comfortable in my arms!"

Watching her three sons arguing heatedly over a simple action of "grabbing clothes," Hua Yun leaned against the door frame, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

Suddenly, a tall and imposing figure loomed over Hua Yun from behind.

Zhou Yanjin had finished washing up at some point and changed into a well-tailored, dark black bespoke suit. His tie was tied perfectly, and he exuded a domineering CEO aura that said "keep away."

But when his gaze passed over Hua Yun's shoulder and landed inside the room, that cold, hard aura instantly crumbled.

The morning sunlight streamed in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

Three little boys in pajamas were gathered around a pink crib. Sitao was sitting on the sofa breastfeeding, Si'an stood on the left with a tissue ready to wipe his mouth, and Sile stood on the right with a toy ready to make him laugh.

The morning light cast a fuzzy golden edge over their three fluffy heads, making the whole scene as warm and cozy as a Renaissance oil painting.

Zhou Yanjin's heart clenched.

These are his son and his daughter. This is the "empire" that Zhou Yanjin has built in his life, the one he is most proud of.

but……

I was touched, but weren't these brats getting in the way a bit too much?

"cough."

Zhou Yanjin coughed loudly on purpose, then strode in with his long legs, creating a gust of wind.

"Alright, alright, what are you all doing gathered here so early in the morning?"

Zhou Yanjin rudely pushed aside Si'an and Sile who were standing to the side, and looked down at Si Tao, who was hugging her younger sister and grinning foolishly.

"Come here, let Daddy give you a warm hug."

As Zhou Yanjin spoke, she stretched out her arms in an extremely domineering manner, "You three, hurry up and wash up and have breakfast. The driver is already waiting downstairs. Get ready to go to school. If you're late, I'll deduct your allowance for this month."

"Dad! Are you being unreasonable?!"

Si Tao panicked and clung tightly to her younger sister, refusing to let go. "Your sister hasn't finished her milk yet! This is violent robbery!"

"I'm her father, it's only natural for me to hold my daughter." Zhou Yanjin raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying an undeniable domineering air. "Let go, or I'll resort to violence."

Si Tao looked at Hua Yun with a pitiful expression: "Mom, look at Dad!"

Hua Yun walked over with a smile and patted Zhou Yanjin on the shoulder: "Don't bully them anymore."

But Zhou Yanjin was determined to regain his sense of presence today. Ignoring his three sons' protests, he gently but firmly took Nuannuan from Sitao's arms.

"Oh my, Daddy's sweet daughter, are you full?"

Zhou Yanjin held her daughter, and her originally cold face instantly blossomed into a smile, her voice so sweet that even Hua Yun couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Nuan Nuan was switched into a different embrace. Instead of crying, she opened her big, dark eyes and stared at Zhou Yanjin's chin for a few seconds.

There was a bit of bluish stubble there from not shaving properly last night.

Nuan Nuan seemed very interested in this thing; she grinned and leaned forward.

*Smack!*

He bit down on Zhou Yanjin's chin, leaving a saliva mark.

"hiss--"

Zhou Yanjin gasped, her brows furrowing slightly.

The three sons standing nearby, who were expecting a laugh, immediately began to gloat.

"Haha! My little sister bit Daddy!" Sile clapped her hands and laughed.

"Serves you right! Who told you to steal my sister!" Si Tao made a face.

Instead of getting angry, he hugged his daughter even tighter. He lowered his head, letting the soft little dumpling nibble at his chin, drool smearing his tie.

This man, who could strike fear into the hearts of dozens of executives with a single sentence at the conference table, was now tilting his head slightly, his eyes and brows full of pride and indulgence.

He turned his head, looked at his three sulking sons, and a provocative smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"See that?"

Zhou Yanjin pointed to the drool on his chin, his tone filled with smugness:

"She bit me. What does that mean?"

The three sons looked bewildered.

"This shows that in her heart, my chin is more chewy than your fingers," Zhou Yanjin sneered. "She still loves me the most as her father."

Si'an, Si'tao, and Si'le: "..."

Hua Yun covered her face, unable to bear the sight.

She walked over to Zhou Yanjin, reached out and pinched her warm little face, and muttered softly, "What sins have these scoundrels committed or what good deeds have they done to deserve this?"

The sunlight grew brighter, casting long shadows of the family of five through the glass window.
