The Little One Has Arrived, Daddy, Don't Run

She is the only little girl in the Lu family in five generations, chubby-cheeked and round as can be, afraid of nothing under the sun.

Except her mom.

He is the heir to the most powerful family in all of China, cold and ruthless, a man who can turn the world upside down with a flick of his hand.

Except that he is utterly powerless against the little round dumpling.

Two-and-a-half-year-old Lin Nuonuo, nicknamed Tuantuan, is chubby and round, with a soft, squishy little body. Short, pudgy arms, little lotus-root legs, and a round belly that jiggles when she walks, while her tiny hands swing at her sides. She looks just like a glutinous rice ball rolling along.

She is afraid of nothing. She dares to chase a big dog halfway down the street, argue with the security guard, and ride the Lu family patriarch's cane like a horse. Her great-grandfather spoils her, her grandfather protects her, and all her uncles and cousins dote on her. The most powerful family in China is completely wrapped around one tiny girl's finger.

Her one weakness? Mom.

The moment Mom gets stern, she turns obedient. She meekly clasps her pudgy hands behind her back, stands ramrod straight, and says in her baby voice, “Tuantuan was wrong.” Then, as soon as Mom turns away, she makes faces at Dad.

Her mother, Su Nianwan, has raised her alone for two and a half years. Gentle but strong-willed, she never lets anyone push her around. Only after the little dumpling kept insisting she wanted to find her dad did Su Nianwan take her to the most prestigious family in all of China.

Her father, Lu Qingshen, is the heir to the most powerful family in the country. To the outside world, he is a ruthless business tycoon. At home, he is his daughter's human steed, walking ATM, and personal ice-cream dispenser. When the little dumpling rides on his shoulders and tugs his hair as if he were a horse, he can't keep the smile off his face.

“Daddy”
