In this family, only Qin Mucheng could control Tangtang.
The moment Tangtang saw Qin Mucheng, she subconsciously took half a step back.
She still wanted to struggle a little. She went forward and hugged Ji Yuanyuan’s thigh, “Mommy, I want Mommy.”
Without waiting for Ji Yuanyuan to speak, Qin Mucheng reached out and picked Tangtang up from the ground.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly slipped away.
Tangtang was in Qin Mucheng’s arms and could only watch as Ji Yuanyuan left.
Her eyes were filled with disappointment.
However, when Qin Mucheng looked over, she immediately put on a smile, “Daddy, I want to wear that dress,” she said sweetly.
She pointed at the dress in the closet.
Qin Mucheng also smiled, “Tangtang is going to kindergarten today. She wants to dress up nicely, right?”
Tangtang nodded.
Qin Mucheng reached out and took out the dress from the wardrobe, “Alright, let’s wear this dress then.”
Tangtang’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She immediately opened her arms and asked Qin Mucheng to help her wear it.
Qin Mucheng put on a dress for her and said regretfully, “Then let’s make a deal. There are many children in the kindergarten who can play games. If you lose the game because wearing a dress is inconvenient, you can’t cry when you go home.”
When Tangtang heard this, her eyes widened.
“Alright, you’re dressed. Let’s go down and eat.” Qin Mucheng helped Tangtang put on the dress in a few seconds and was about to carry her down.
Tangtang was in his arms, but she started to squirm.
“What’s wrong?” Qin Mucheng pretended not to know and asked.
“Daddy, I want to wear that.” Tangtang pointed at the set of clothes that Ji Yuanyuan had placed on the bed and whispered.
Qin Mucheng held back his laughter. “Are you sure?”
“Yes, yes.” Tangtang hurriedly nodded.
Qin Mucheng carried Tangtang back to the bed and helped her change her clothes.
It was not that Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng were overbearing and insisted that the child wear clothes according to the adults’ preferences.
However, the kindergarten teacher had warned her in advance last night that it was her first day in kindergarten. It was best to let the child wear pants instead of skirts.
Since the teacher said so, there must be a reason. That was why she had a battle of wits and courage with Tangtang early in the morning.
It was almost eight o’clock when Ji Yuanyuan finished her makeup.
Breakfast had already been placed on the dining table, and Qin Mucheng was already seated.
As for the others, they were on the sofa playing with Tangtang.
Seeing Ji Yuanyuan come down, Cheng Shuqin carried her granddaughter and walked towards the dining table, “Let’s go eat.”
Tangtang leaned on Cheng Shuqin’s shoulder and looked at Ji Yuanyuan.
“Mom, you’re so beautiful today.” After looking for a while, Tangtang suddenly said.
Ji Yuanyuan usually did not put on much makeup, but since he was going to send Tangtang to the garden today, ahe put on more exquisite makeup.
It did look better than usual.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanyuan’s heart was filled with sweetness, “Thank you, Tangtang.”
“Mommy is beautiful every day, isn’t she?” Cheng Shuqin laughed.
“Yes, yes. Mommy is as beautiful as Tangtang.” While Tangtang praised Ji Yuanyuan, she did not forget to praise herself.
As soon as she said this, everyone laughed.
Tangtang was very obedient when she ate.
After dinner, Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng sent her to kindergarten together.
Ji Yuanyuan had changed shifts today and had especially made time to send her daughter to school.
When they arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten, the teacher was already there to welcome them.
Tangtang’s cla.s.s was called the Starlight Cla.s.s. All three teachers from the Starlight Cla.s.s were there.
“Tangtang, come to Teacher Han.” The older teacher extended his hand to Tangtang.
They had thought that Tangtang would cry and make a scene for a few minutes on the first day.
However, who would have thought that Tangtang would be able to adapt to it so well? She immediately let go of Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng’s hands and walked towards Teacher Han.
Teacher Han held Tangtang’s hand and was also a little surprised.
At the side, the children from the other cla.s.ses started crying after seeing their parents leave, “Daddy, Mommy, don’t go. I don’t want to go to school…”
Teacher Han was afraid that Tangtang would be affected and wanted to talk to Tangtang to divert her attention. Who knew that Tangtang’s gaze had already drifted over?
A few seconds later, she retracted her gaze and asked lightly, “It’s not like his parents don’t want him anymore. Why is he crying?”
Teacher Han was stunned for a moment and smiled awkwardly, “Tangtang, say goodbye to Daddy and Mommy. Daddy and Mommy will pick you up at three in the afternoon.”
Tangtang raised her hand and waved at Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng. “Goodbye, Daddy and Mommy. Don’t forget to pick me up in the afternoon. I’ll be obedient in kindergarten.”
Ji Yuanyuan also smiled and waved at her, “Mommy won’t forget. You must eat well in kindergarten. You’re not allowed to be picky, okay?”
Qin Mucheng did not say anything. He just smiled and waved his hand.
Tangtang nodded.
She had already followed Teacher Han, but after a few steps, she suddenly thought of something and broke free from Teacher Han’s hand to run toward Ji Yuanyuan.
Teacher Han took a deep breath and thought to herself, ‘I knew this step couldn’t be skipped. Every child who enters the kindergarten on the first day has to cry.’
Some of the children who had been in the kindergarten for a few months had to cry every morning.
Ji Yuanyuan saw Tangtang coming over and squatted down to welcome her.
Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes were a little teary looking at her tiny figure.
She thought to herself, I mustn’t cry.
Tangtang rushed into Ji Yuanyuan’s arms like a small cannonball. Before Ji Yuanyuan could react, she kissed her on the face and instructed her in a dignified manner, “Mom, you have to eat well in school. You’re not allowed to be picky.”
She then looked up at Qin Mucheng.
Qin Mucheng squatted down tactfully.
Tangtang came out from Ji Yuanyuan’s arms and squeezed into Qin Mucheng’s arms. “Daddy, you’re at the company… have to work hard.”
Qin Mucheng had thought that Tangtang would remind him to eat properly like she did to Ji Yuanyuan.
Who knew that Tangtang would tell him to work hard?
Qin Mucheng smiled helplessly, “Alright, Daddy will work hard. I’ll earn money to buy a lot of dresses for Tangtang.”
Tangtang stood on her tiptoes and kissed Qin Mucheng on the cheek as well.
Then, she turned around and walked towards Teacher Han.
Teacher Han held Ji Yuanyuan’s hand and entered the kindergarten smoothly.
Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng held hands and stood at the entrance of the kindergarten. They only looked away when Tangtang’s figure was no longer visible.
Ji Yuanyuan raised her hand and wiped away her tears. “The child isn’t crying,” she whispered. “But I really want to cry.”
It wasn’t that she couldn’t bear to let her daughter leave her side. After all, she usually didn’t see her daughter when she was in the university for the entire day. She was already used to it.
Just that, when she saw her daughter’s back, she suddenly realized that the child would grow bigger and bigger and would also grow further and further away from her.
One day, her daughter would no longer need her.
Qin Mucheng did not speak. He turned sideways and hugged Ji Yuanyuan..
