A Billionaire CEO Brings His Child Home: The Awakening of the Stay-at-Home Dad System

The effect of the god-like voice was even more exaggerated than Chen Hao had imagined.

When that melody flowed from his throat, the air in the whole room seemed to soften.

The sound was not loud, but it was very penetrating, like a slowly flowing river, carrying a natural rhythm and warmth.

The bass is deep and resonant, like the distant sound of a bell; the treble is clear and bright, like the rustling of a night breeze through the leaves.

Shen Xiaoting blinked twice, then twice more, and then slowly closed her eyes.

Her breathing became even and long, and her small body completely relaxed, pressing against Chen Hao's chest like a soft marshmallow.

She held the plush rabbit tightly in her arms, its ears pressed against her cheeks, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, as if she were having a sweet dream.

Chen Hao continued humming, gently patting his daughter's back as he did so, one pat after another, the rhythm slow and the pressure light.

He could feel his daughter's breathing becoming heavier and her heartbeat becoming more and more steady; she had completely fallen asleep.

He looked down at his daughter's face.

The orange light from the bedside lamp shone on her small face, her skin so white it was almost transparent, and you could see the fine blue veins near her temples.

Her eyebrows were curved, her eyelashes were long, her nose was straight, and her small mouth was slightly open, revealing a tiny bit of her pink tongue.

Her hair wasn't completely dry yet, with a few damp stray hairs sticking to her forehead, making her small face appear even more delicate and refined.

This is his daughter.

He is Chen Hao's daughter.

He couldn't help but lower his head and gently kiss his daughter's forehead.

Her skin had a milky scent mixed with the fruity scent of shower gel, which made people feel at ease.

After kissing her, he didn't rush to move. He just lay on his side, one arm around his daughter and the other gently on her back.

His gaze lingered on his daughter's face for a long, long time.

Then, on a whim, he opened his system inventory.

Two bottles of physique enhancement liquid lay quietly in the backpack compartment, the pale blue liquid swaying slightly inside, as if it were alive.

He clicked "Use" with his mind.

[Ding! Used 1 Constitution Enhancement Fluid. Constitution +1. Current Constitution: 12.]

[Ding! Used 1 Constitution Enhancement Fluid. Constitution +1. Current Constitution: 13.]

[Average physical fitness for an average person: 10. The host's current physical fitness exceeds the average level by 30%.]

Two warm currents surged from his stomach almost simultaneously, spreading to his limbs and bones.

That feeling is hard to describe in words—

It wasn't hot, numb, or tingling, but rather a gentle, continuous warmth that came from within.

It's like being soaked in a pool of perfectly warm water, where every cell is stretching, breathing, and being repaired.

Chen Hao closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body.

He could feel his muscles trembling slightly, and his fibrous tissue being rewoven.

You can feel the bones making a very faint, almost imperceptible "creaking" sound, as if they are being reinforced by something.

I can feel my cardiopulmonary function improving; each breath is deeper, heavier, and more powerful than before.

You can feel the blood flowing faster in your blood vessels, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to every corner of your body.

The feeling lasted for about a minute, and then slowly subsided.

Chen Hao opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

His chest rose and fell, his breath long and powerful.

He moved his shoulders, making a slight "crackling" sound; the muscles in his shoulders were noticeably firmer than before.

He clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white, and he could feel that his grip strength was much stronger than before.

The weakness I felt before due to overwork—

Lower back pain, lethargy, and shortness of breath easily—

They've all disappeared.

Instead, there is an unprecedented sense of lightness and power, as if the whole person has been reset, returning to the physical state of an eighteen-year-old, or even better.

He currently has 13 points of physical fitness, which is 3 points more than the average person.

Don't underestimate these three points. They mean he can drive for longer periods, carry his daughter for longer without getting tired, and react faster in unexpected situations.

Chen Hao slowly exhaled and relaxed.

He lowered his head and looked at his daughter in his arms.

Shen Xiaoting was fast asleep; the slight movement of his body when he took the physique enhancement liquid had no effect on her at all.

She remained in the same position, her small face pressed against his chest, the plush rabbit nestled between them, her breathing even and long.

Chen Hao reached out and pulled the blanket up to cover his daughter's shoulders.

Then he turned off the bedside lamp, plunging the room into darkness.

He held his daughter in his arms, closed his eyes, listened to her soft breathing, and felt her tiny heartbeat. A sense of peace he had never felt before welled up inside him.

He soon fell asleep too.

-

The next morning, Chen Hao was awakened by a faint rustling sound.

He groggily opened his eyes and found that it was already daylight. A beam of white light shone through the gap in the curtains and fell on the carpet, forming a thin band of light.

The air conditioner in the room was still humming, and the temperature was just right.

Then he felt it—a gaze was watching him.

He looked down and found that Shen Xiaoting was already awake.

She lay on her side, facing him, holding a plush rabbit in both hands, her chin resting on the rabbit's head, her big, dark eyes staring at him quietly.

Her hair was a mess; the left pigtail had completely come undone, while the right one was still hanging loosely, making her head look like a burst dandelion.

Chen Hao couldn't help but laugh.

"Tingting, are you awake?" His voice was deeper because he had just woken up, with a husky and magnetic quality.

Shen Xiaoting nodded, didn't move, and continued to stare at him.

"Why didn't you call for Dad when you woke up?" Chen Hao asked.

Shen Xiaoting blinked and whispered, "Dad drove for a long time yesterday and he's very tired... I want Dad to sleep a little longer."

Chen Hao was stunned.

He looked into his daughter's clear, innocent eyes, and into her earnest little face.

Hearing her say, "I want Daddy to sleep a little longer," felt like my heart had been squeezed hard, a sharp, bitter ache in my chest.

Three years old.

She was only three years old.

The three-year-old child woke up quietly and lay in bed waiting for his father to wake up, because his father was tired from driving for a long time yesterday.

How sensible must this child be?
