Using power to force marriage

When Ruan Fu was 27 years old, she gave birth to her daughter Ruan Qing'an.

Baby's nickname is Nuannuan.

Zhao Jingnian became a father at the age of 34. After his daughter was born, he discussed it with Ruan Fu and went to the hospital for a minor operation. He will only have one child in his life, Nuan Nuan.

He didn't want Ruan Fu to go through the risks of childbirth again, and the two had planned to have only one child before they even started trying to conceive.

Nuan Nuan was born with a top-tier life script, possessing the strongest background, with a supportive group of relatives and friends, and is the apple of everyone's eye.

My mother is a national-level goodwill ambassador and a renowned philanthropist who has been featured on international news. My father is the president of the Beicheng Chamber of Commerce and a financial tycoon who owns a multinational conglomerate worth hundreds of billions.

My maternal grandmother was the dean of the medical school at Beicheng University, and my maternal grandfather was a descendant of a century-old family of doctors. My paternal grandmother was the curator of the Beicheng Museum, and although my paternal grandfather was paralyzed in both legs, he left behind a remarkable story that shocked the business world.

My aunt is a national-level inheritor of traditional Chinese medicine intangible cultural heritage and founded her own TCM clinic. My uncle is a tech entrepreneur who achieved the remarkable feat of listing his company on the stock exchange within three years.

In addition, she has a famous jewelry designer as her godmother and the president of the Nancheng Chamber of Commerce as her uncle...

Nuannuan grew up surrounded by the love of her elders. Not only does she look exactly like her mother, but her personality and temperament are also exactly the same.

She has almond-shaped eyes with slightly upturned corners and long, thick eyelashes. Her nose is small and delicate, and her lips are full.

Little Nuannuan is still young, and her chubby cheeks haven't lost their baby fat yet, but you can already tell that she's a real beauty in the making.

Every time Ruan Zhengyang and He Shu saw Nuannuan, they would sigh and say that Ruan Fu had given birth to a version of themselves.

Little Nuannuan's personality is just like her mother's—bright, outgoing, not shy at all, and so lively she can't stop moving.

She chatters away all day long like a little lark, always smiling and striking up conversations with anyone she meets. Everyone who sees her praises her as a dazzling little sun.

With Nuannuan around, the house became even more lively. Zhao Jingnian spent his days coaxing the older one and the younger one. Before, he only had Ruan Fu to bother him, but now there was another "little troublemaker."

Everyone says that raising children is hard work, that having children makes you feel restricted and full of worries. But Ruan Fu has never experienced the kind of hardship that others talk about; she continues to live her carefree life as before.

Zhao Jing handled everything at the company's annual meeting, while she could simply do as she pleased, eat, drink, have fun, and remain as beautiful as a flower.

He said that since he couldn't share the hardships of pregnancy and childbirth with Ruan Fu, he could only take care of all the big and small chores after the child was born and be a responsible stay-at-home dad.

When the baby was first born, a nanny helped take care of him, and elders from both sides would take turns to come and look after him. The new father, Zhao Jingnian, learned how to take care of the baby little by little.

Nuannuan is a high-needs baby. She wakes up as soon as she is put down, is difficult to put to sleep, cannot be separated from her arms for a moment, has intense mood swings, and is very energetic. Taking care of her is particularly exhausting.

As our child gets a little older and can recognize people, they only want to be close to their parents. They need their dad to rock them to sleep, feed them milk, and carry them when we go out to play…

She didn't like being with the nanny, so Zhao Jingnian dismissed them, leaving only Aunt Sun to take care of her daily meals and needs.

Over the years, Ruan Fu's rescue station has opened several more branches. She is frequently invited to participate in public welfare promotion and public welfare speeches, and is busy with various public welfare projects one after another.

She has a thriving career, but she is completely clueless when it comes to raising children.

She only knows how to make Nuannuan happy, and Nuannuan likes to play with her, but she doesn't know how to take care of a child.

For example, she can't handle things like feeding and putting the child to sleep, bathing the child, changing diapers, etc., but no one expects her to be a mother who can take care of children.

When Ruan Fu was busy with work, Zhao Jingnian would not let the children disturb her.

From the time Nuannuan could speak, he told the little one that her mother worked very hard and never let her throw a tantrum.

He is very busy with work, and his daughter, Nuannuan, doesn't like being taken care of by a nanny, so he often brings her to work with him.

The office is stocked with a variety of toys, which are regularly updated.

Nuannuan is very happy every day, saying that her dad's office is a playground.

The presidents and directors who came to discuss business were initially shocked by the scene in Zhao Jingnian's office, but after a while they got used to it.

He dotes on his daughter to an extreme degree. His custom-made suits can be used to wipe his drool, his million-dollar rosewood desk can be used as a dining table, and his multi-million dollar Rolls-Royce can be vandalized with graffiti.

He even allowed Nuannuan Baby to cover the car with princess stickers, and even drove the car covered with cartoon stickers to discuss cooperation with people.

Gu Qingyue used to always tease him about being a wife-obsessed, henpecked husband. After the birth of their daughter, Nuannuan, Zhao Jingnian gained another label: a doting father to his daughter.

Zhao Jingnian assumed that Gu Qingyue was just being sarcastic, that she envied him for having a beautiful wife and a lovely daughter.

This guy recently met a girl, a student at Nancheng University, and he's been pursuing her relentlessly.

But the girl didn't seem to have any romantic feelings for him and always kept him at arm's length.

He always talked about advocating single life and wanting to live a free and unrestrained life, and he always laughed at Zhao Jingnian for being blinded by love. Now that it's his turn, he can't laugh anymore.

Seeing how hard he tried to pursue that girl but never got a response, Zhao Jingnian started to laugh at him.

Every time Gu Qingyue sought his advice on relationship issues, or came to him with a pained expression to confide that the girl had returned the gift he had given her, she was very distressed.

Zhao Jingnian could only say, "I can't empathize with you because my wife and I love each other deeply, and we have a lovely daughter. I really can't understand your pain of unrequited love."

They used to mock Zhao Jingnian for being love-struck and wife-obsessed, but now that the boomerang has pierced their own skin, they're only just beginning to feel the pain.

-

Zhao Jingnian took Xiao Nuannuan to work as usual, and Yu Ming bought her a batch of new toys as requested.

As soon as Xiao Nuannuan entered the office, she saw Yu Ming busy assembling a pink toy car. She excitedly ran over and squatted down next to him to watch him assemble it.

After it was all set up, she said in a sweet and soft voice, "Thank you, Yu Susu."

Anyone, regardless of age or gender, will unconsciously raise their voice when speaking to Xiao Nuannuan. Yu Ming's voice was already rough, and now it was practically steaming from the raising of his voice.

"You're welcome, Princess Nuannuan."

"Alright, little princess, your little car is all assembled. Would you like me to help you sit in it?"

Since Zhao Jingnian had a daughter, Yu Ming has taken on another role at the company: taking care of the child.

He felt like he was almost becoming a part-time nanny.

Zhao Jingnian had an important meeting to attend, and before entering the meeting room, he instructed Yu Ming, "Play with her for a while."

Little Nuannuan's eyes curved into crescent shapes as she smiled sweetly at him, "Bye-bye, Daddy~"

While the meeting was in session, Yu Ming was pushing a stroller around the office, playing with Nuan Nuan. She seemed to be having a good time with Yu Ming.

She was tired from playing and felt sleepy, so she wanted to go to bed.

When children get sleepy, they tend to throw tantrums and cry for their fathers to put them to sleep.

Zhao Jingnian is in a meeting with senior executives at all levels of the group to discuss a tricky merger and acquisition case. It has been more than two hours and he still hasn't come out.

Little Nuannuan couldn't sit still any longer and ran to the meeting room to find her father with a wronged look on her face.

Everyone knows that the chairman dotes on his daughter, and Princess Nuannuan moves freely throughout the company; there is no place she cannot go.

She insisted on going into the meeting room, and naturally no one dared to stop her.

The soundproof door to the office was pushed open, and a little dumpling in a pink and white tutu rushed in, calling out "Daddy" in a sweet, coquettish voice.

The project manager, who was presenting the plan, was interrupted by this soft, childlike voice, and everyone's eyes turned to the door.

Today's meeting was of paramount importance. After more than two hours of discussion, no satisfactory solution had been found for Zhao Jingnian. His face was frighteningly gloomy and as cold as ice.

Everyone in the conference room held their breath and looked at each other, thinking that Zhao Jing would hold Yu Ming accountable for not taking good care of the child at the annual meeting. However, his reaction was unexpected.

"Baby, come here and let Daddy hug you."

His face softened, the cold and stern expression from before had vanished, and a doting smile played on his lips as he reached out and pulled Xiao Nuannuan into his arms.

The little one, curled up in his arms, frowned and looked listless. "Daddy, Nuannuan wants to sleep~"

His little princess is sleepy, so the meeting can end now.

"Give me the revised plan tomorrow morning. Meeting adjourned."

After saying this, Zhao Jingnian picked up his daughter, got up, and left the meeting room.

Upon hearing this, everyone who had just finished a high-pressure meeting breathed a sigh of relief.

The previously tense and oppressive atmosphere in the conference room instantly became lively and relaxed. They silently thanked the little princess for arriving in time; otherwise, their chairman would probably have been furious and reprimanded them for their incompetence.

"Oh my god, Princess Nuannuan is so cute! She looks like a porcelain doll."

"When I was presenting the plan just now, the chairman's face got uglier and uglier. I was prepared to be scolded, but the little princess saved my life."

"I wonder what color burlap sack Warm Warm likes. I really want to steal her away!"

……

The people in the conference room chatted amongst themselves while organizing documents.

Zhao Jingnian carried Nuannuan back to his office. It was a little after three in the afternoon, the time when children are usually sleepy.

He has a knack for soothing children; a pat, a rock, and the little one quickly falls asleep in his arms.

Holding the child in one arm and flipping through documents on the table with the other, work and childcare don't conflict at all.

Yu Ming handed Zhao Jingnian a pen, flipping through the documents very quietly, afraid of disturbing Xiao Nuannuan's sleep.

He felt sorry for his wife's hardship during childbirth, so he couldn't bear to let her work hard at all when it came to raising their child.

People often praise him as a responsible and devoted husband and father, but Zhao Jingnian only responds with a nonchalant remark.

"There's nothing to praise. I just fulfilled my duties as a husband and a father."

Little Nuannuan slept for two hours. After getting enough sleep, she was in a good mood and happily played with her toys in her father's arms.

Zhao Jingnian glanced at the time; it was six o'clock, almost lunchtime.

He took out his phone and asked Nuannuan to call Ruan Fu, "Sweetie, ask Mommy if she's off work yet. Let's go pick her up and take her home for dinner, okay?"

Little Nuannuan said in her sweet, childish voice, "Baby's hungry, let's go get Mommy~"

Zhao Jingnian dialed Ruan Fu's number and put it on speakerphone.

Ruan Fu's slightly tired voice came through the receiver, "Honey, I'm so tired today. I performed five surgeries at the hospital all day."

He was about to reply, but Nuannuan beat him to it.

"Honey, you've worked so hard. Honey, let's go pick you up and have dinner!"

The little guy, at such an age when he can barely keep his mouth shut, has already learned to listen to adults talk and imitates the way his parents usually address each other on the phone, calling Ruan Fu "wife".

She asked Zhao Jingnian why he called his mother "brain" (a term of endearment for a woman).

Zhao Jingnian patiently explained to her that her parents were husband and wife, and that her father loved her mother very much, so he called her his wife.

"Nuan Nuan loves her mother very much, and Nuan Nuan also wants to call her mother 'Grandma'."

This isn't the first time the little guy has called out names randomly.

Hearing her daughter's soft, sweet voice on the other end of the phone, Ruan Fu felt instantly relieved, and the fatigue from performing five surgeries in a row was also swept away.

"Oh, it's my husband calling! I'm all done with work now. When are you coming to pick me up, honey?"

Nuannuan, holding her phone, replied, "Grandma, wait a moment, Grandpa will be here soon."

Zhao Jingnian listened with great interest as his eldest and youngest children made a phone call, his eyes filled with indulgence and doting.

Ruan Fu played along with the little one, engaging in a game of "brain-husband and brain-wife" with her.

"Okay, then husband, hurry up and come!"

"Okay, bye-bye, honey~"

After hanging up the phone, Nuannuan looked up at Zhao Jingnian and urged, "Daddy, hurry up and drive the big car to pick up my grandma."

The little guy stole his wife and is using him as a driver.

What can we do but spoil them?

"Let's go, baby, to pick up your wife from get off work."

He carried the little one down the private elevator and got into the Rolls-Royce covered in colorful stickers.

Ruan Fu worked at 'Fu Le' today and performed five surgeries. She's really hungry and tired right now.

Zhao Jingnian brought Nuannuan home after she got off work. When Ruan Fu got into the car and saw her handsome husband and adorable daughter, her mood instantly improved.

As soon as she got in the car, she snuggled into Zhao Jingnian's arms, saying, "I'm so tired, so hungry."

He wrapped his arm around Ruan Fu, lowered his head and kissed her lips. "What do you want to eat? Your husband will take you."

Little Nuannuan, sitting in her high chair, was unhappy when she saw her dad kissing her mom.

"You're not allowed to kiss my wife!"

The two glanced at Xiao Nuannuan upon hearing the sound and couldn't help but laugh; the little one was jealous.

Ruan Fu suddenly became interested and deliberately teased her, "Oh dear, look how tightly Daddy is hugging me! What if he won't let me kiss Nuan Nuan?"

Zhao Jingnian played along with the little drama queen in his arms, tightening his embrace even more. "This is my wife. I can kiss her whenever I want."

Nuannuan pouted and gave a fierce "humph," "No way! This is my wife!"

Although Nuannuan is usually taken care of by her father, she still loves her mother the most, and no one can compare to her mother's position in her heart.

Little Nuannuan always says that her mother is prettier than her father, smells better than him, and has a nicer voice.

"What should I do, my darling Nuan Nuan? Mommy's body is locked in Daddy's arms, and he won't let me go over and hug you."

The little guy imitated the gestures of a princess casting spells in an animated film, muttering the spells he hadn't yet learned.

Ruan Fu asked, "Nuan Nuan, what are you doing?"

"Frozen Dad"

Hearing this, Ruan Fu almost laughed until tears streamed down her face, and teased, "Zhao Jingnian, your little cotton-padded jacket seems to be letting in a bit of wind."
