The CEO Has to Help with the Kids Even After Coming Home

[Pregnancy before love / Office romance / Rivals-to-lovers / Raising kids]

Huo Wenze was the heir to Haizhi Group. After a busy morning, he went to the company cafeteria for lunch.

He saw a little boy who looked about 70 to 80 percent like him sitting in his usual seat, arms crossed over his chest as he stared at Huo Wenze arrogantly. "So you're the dad who died and came back to life? Mom says you're smart. It shouldn't be hard for you to teach me a few math problems, right?"

Huo Wenze: "...?"

The boy, who looked four or five, was impatient. "Hurry up. If I don't learn it, Mom won't let me come home tonight."

Only then did Huo Wenze notice the math test on the table, graded at 8 points. His vision went dark.

A few days later, a little girl in a puffy princess dress, who looked about 60 percent like him, was sitting in his usual seat in the cafeteria.

When she saw him arrive, she blinked up at him. "Hello, Daddy, whose grave grass is 20 meters tall. Since we're meeting for the first time, I'll let you kiss the back of my hand. If you behave, you can kiss my cheek later~"

"That's the kind of treatment only my mommy gets~"

Huo Wenze: "..."

As expected, he found a mountain of complicated parent-child project materials on the table. It took him three hours of guiding her every step of the way to finish them.

Later, the two children, who looked almost exactly alike, appeared before him together. Holding hands, they called out sweetly, "Good morning, Daddy, whose grave grass is 10 meters shorter~ Mommy says you have lots of toys to play with us~ So we'll reluctantly give you a chance to look after us~"

Huo Wenze: "..."

The woman who had coldly abandoned him and secretly given birth to his children finally called him. "Huo Wenze, I'm going on a business trip for a week. You take care of the kids and spend some quality time with them."

Huo Wenze: "Qi Xuezhao, don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

Qi Xuezhao: "What's there to explain? I borrowed a few things from you back then to raise them. Now my conscience is getting the better of me, so I'm giving them back. Are you still not satisfied?"

"This isn't about whether I'm satisfied or not..." But she hung up on him, leaving him furious with nowhere to vent.

So Huo Wenze started taking care of the kids anyway. He and Qi Xuezhao also began working together on a project, seeing each other every day in the same office.

She was always giving him orders:

"Our son improved on his exam this time. He got 20 points. Teach him some more later."

"Our daughter says there's a kid in the class next door whose dad is even more handsome than you. Put on a prince costume and defend her honor."

"I'm going to a banquet with a male companion tonight. Put the kids to bed for me..."

"No." He could put up with everything else, but she was smiling at other people all the time, and now she was going to a banquet with another man...

Unable to take it anymore, he grabbed her face and kissed her, pressing her hard. "It's only right that I take care of our children, and it's only right that you give me a proper title. You're not running away again."
