Chapter 21: Fourth Miss Is So Adorable, I Just Want to Squeeze Her

Xiao Wang felt wronged.

Every employee in the entire Fu Corporation building knew: it was better to offend a petty man than the Third Young Master.

But under the Third Young Master’s gaze, Xiao Wang dared not utter another word. He could only nod glumly in agreement.

"If Third Brother and Brother don’t argue, they can still be good friends. Good friends should hug it out after a fight, okay?"

The moment Fu Siyuan heard this, his face contorted.

Today, he and Fu Yuchen had already argued twice, and after each argument, the two brothers had "affectionately" hugged it out.

Now he had to hug an employee he’d just bullied?

This was truly hoisting himself with his own petard. Fu Siyuan finally understood the meaning of this phrase thoroughly today.

His jaw twitched violently as he saw Xiao Wang standing frozen in place, staring at him in horror. Fu Siyuan’s expression instantly darkened with displeasure.

"What? You don’t want to hug me?"

Terrified, Xiao Wang dropped what he was holding and flung his arms around Fu Siyuan in a death grip.

Even though Fu Siyuan was fit, an adult’s strength was still greater. The moment Xiao Wang squeezed him hard, Fu Siyuan almost couldn’t breathe.

Forcing a smile, he patted Xiao Wang’s back twice before hissing in his ear, "Enough. Are you trying to suffocate me?"

Xiao Wang immediately let go.

Song Qingshan and Mu Lan watched from a distance, both wearing amused expressions.

"Alright, it’s getting late. Zhi Zhi has been hungry for a while now. Let’s head downstairs."

Finally, just as Fu Siyuan and Xiao Wang separated, Mu Lan stepped in to mediate.

The group had made a grand entrance and now left just as grandly, leaving the assistants’ office staff dumbfounded.

"Was that really Chairman Fu’s daughter just now? Quick, someone pinch me—ow! That hurts!"

"If she really is his biological daughter, who’ll inherit Fu Corp in the future?"

The Fu family’s three young masters, despite their vastly different personalities, were each a prodigy in his own way, the kind everyone envied.

Perhaps the assistants’ discussion was too heated, because Fu Jingyi, who was still waiting for the elevator with his sister in his arms, turned around.

A gentle smile still lingered on his lips as he spoke slowly, "Zhi Zhi is Father’s daughter. Fu Corp naturally belongs to her."

Beside him, Fu Yuchen and Fu Siyuan didn’t protest.

Though raised with elite education, the three brothers weren’t like heirs of other families who battled viciously for control over inheritance. Whoever was most capable would take over Fu Corp.

With Zhi Zhi in the picture now, they would never dream of taking what was rightfully hers. To put it bluntly, they were willingly slaving away for their baby sister pro bono—even if they never saw a single cent in the future.

The elevator doors opened.

Fu Jingyi, carrying his sister, led the way inside, leaving a group of stunned assistants behind.

"Holy crap, what did I just hear? Pass it on—Fu Corp is changing hands! The new CEO is three-year-old Miss Zhi Zhi!"

"I must be dreaming. Miss Zhi Zhi is so adorable, she should just stay in her castle and be a little princess. I’ll handle everything!"

"Wake up, the palace intrigue is over. This is a heartwarming family sitcom now."

"I won’t allow anyone in the company to remain unaware of Miss Zhi Zhi’s adorableness. Where’s my company intranet account? Bring me a keyboard!"

Just as Fu Jingyi and the others were about to take the elevator down to the company cafeteria for lunch, a post titled #Fourth Miss Is So Adorable, I Just Want to Squeeze Her# went viral on Fu Corporation’s internal network, racking up tens of thousands of replies in the blink of an eye.

OP: First floor reserved for Fourth Miss. She has no diva attitude—so soft, so cute, just a total sweetheart. [No pics, was too mesmerized to remember to take any.]

Second floor: Thanks for the invite. Just living under a rock. Since when does the Fu family have a fourth miss? Did she pop out of a rock?

Third floor: Thanks for the invite. Front desk here. Saw Little Fu holding a tiny dumpling in his arms. Thought it was his secret kid—turns out it’s Fourth Miss! Too adorable! [Cue groundhog screaming JPG.]

Fourth floor: Casual observer here. OP, no pics means... There’s no loli that tops Kanna in cuteness!

Fifth floor: Really? I don’t believe it!

OP: I swear to God, they’re heading to the cafeteria now. Doubters, go see for yourselves! If Fourth Miss isn’t an actual angel, I’ll eat my hat!

…

Fu Corporation employees stared at the anonymous post, scratching their heads.

Even so, the mere mention of "Fourth Miss" was enough to pique everyone’s curiosity.

Employees from departments near the cafeteria quietly slipped in after seeing the OP’s reply. When they couldn’t spot anyone, they immediately took to their phones to gripe.

Meanwhile, Fu Jingyi had already carried the little one out of the elevator.

Zhi Zhi looked at the parking lot full of cars and asked in confusion, "Brother, no food?"

So many cars, but no food in sight.

Fu Jingyi tousled his sister’s hair and smiled. "The cafeteria’s crowded. Aren’t you afraid of strangers?"

The little one was a bit shy around strangers, but she had a natural instinct for judging character. After exchanging a few words, she’d come out of her shell quickly.

She had no concept of how many employees Fu Corporation had, but since her brother said it was crowded, she obediently rested her head on his shoulder. "Then go home now?"

At home, Second Brother would make her delicious food. Zhi Zhi swallowed hungrily, her eyes gleaming with hunger as she looked at her second brother.

The group behind them couldn’t help laughing at the little one’s expression.

Song Qingshan even took her tiny hand and shook it gently. "Zhi Zhi must be famished, huh? Let’s pick a nearby restaurant to eat."

Mu Lan simply had an assistant bring the corporate car over.

With little dumpling present, the group couldn’t just settle for any random restaurant.

In the end, it was Mu Lan who chose a Chinese restaurant. Unfortunately, by the time they arrived, the private rooms were already fully booked due to the restaurant being packed.

"Let's just sit in the main dining area then. First things first—let’s get Zhi Zhi fed," Song Qingshan said, waving over a waiter to guide them to their seats.

"Zhi Zhi, sit next to Uncle, and Uncle will dish up food for you, okay?"

Before even taking his seat, Song Qingshan held out his arms toward little dumpling.

Without hesitation, Zhi Zhi leaned forward and was pulled into a hug.

Then, she grabbed her brother's arm and gave it a soft squeeze (though her little hand didn’t have much strength).

"Brother tired? Zhi Zhi squeeze!"

Seeing Song Qingshan successfully secure the seat beside little dumpling with his first move, Mu Lan wasn’t going to miss out. She swiftly slid into the seat on Zhi Zhi's other side.

"Then I'll sit on this side of Zhi Zhi. Just tell me what you’d like to eat, okay?"

For once, Zhi Zhi wasn’t sandwiched between her three brothers during a meal.

She turned her head to look at Song Qingshan, then at Mu Lan, before finally looking back at her brothers.

"Zhi Zhi will be good. Don’t worry, brothers!"

She was afraid her brothers might think she wouldn't behave and would act up.

Fu Jingyi smiled and nodded in response, while Fu Yuchen beside him leaned in and added, "Second Brother knows Zhi Zhi is the best."

Receiving affirmation once again, Zhi Zhi perked up straight even after being placed in the child's high chair.

If not for her eyes occasionally darting glances at her brothers, her face all but shouting, "Look how good Zhi Zhi is!"

The three brothers grinned and gave her a thumbs-up. "Zhi Zhi’s the best!"
