Chapter 39: Impressive Independence!

After the meal, Mo Heng clearly hinted to the two elders that they should leave. Unfortunately, Mo Qishan pretended not to notice, giving Mo Heng no choice but to use his trump card again.

“It’s time for Tangtang to sleep.” Mo Heng cast a meaningful look at Tangtang, who was currently having fun.

Tangtang sensibly rubbed her eyes. Her acting skills were polished. “Baba… Tangtang… Sleepy…”

Mo Qishan replied, “It’s only 8 pm. It’s not good for her health if she gets tired so early. Has she been getting enough nourishment? Why don’t you send Tangtang back home. We’ll definitely take better care of her.”

Mo Heng was flabbergasted at his father’s ignorance, and firmly declined his offer. “This is Tangtang’s fixed bedtime. Dad… The child is growing. She needs to go to bed early. Surely you know such basic parenting knowledge, right?”

And his father had even dared to make a solemn vow that he would take better care of her?

Mo Heng easily rendered Mo Qishan speechless with his words.

Fang Lanxin chided Mo Qishan: “Don’t be so impatient. Our son is so busy. One day, he definitely won’t be able to take care of her anymore! Don’t force it, in case he hides Tangtang away…”

In a blink of an eye, Mo Qishan burst out in anger, as if he had already lost Tangtang, “He dares?!”

In the end, after rebuking Mo Heng, Mo Qishan still docilely took his leave with Fang Lanxin.

After all, Tangtang listened to Mo Heng well, so even Mo Qishan had to do things according to Mo Heng’s mood.

Thinking of this, Mo Qishan, who had been the chairman of a multinational cooperation for more than half his life, struggled to fall asleep. Early the next morning, he ordered his men to scour the whole city and purchase a bathtub just like Mo Heng’s!

In order to reward Tangtang, after Mo Qishan and Fang Lanxin left, Mo Heng filled the entire bathtub with water so Tangtang could swim.

The little kid was overcome with bliss. However, as she sprinted towards the bathtub, she suddenly pulled her emergency brakes—

She recalled what Big Brother Mo Heng had told her earlier that day. Before she entered the water, she had to remove her clothes first.

However, Big Brother Tingwei also said that she couldn’t let boys see the areas underneath her undershirt and underpants…

Because of this, she would no longer be able to enter the water with Mo Heng around.

Mo Heng noticed Tangtang’s bashfulness as she shyly grasped the hem of her undershirt with her chubby little hand. She was clearly itching to play in the water, and yet for some reason, she stood as still as a tree trunk…

“What happened, Tangtang?” Mo Heng asked in curiosity. He rarely saw this innocent, carefree little mermaid become so bashful.

Tangtang pointed her chubby little finger at herself: “Gurl…”

And then pointed to Mo Heng: “Boyee…”

Then, she covered her eyes. “Take off clothes… Shy shy…”

Mo Heng instantly understood.

He pondered. Gu Tingwei had educated Tangtang about gender differences when they’d hung out together this morning.

Mo Heng was very surprised.

He’d never expected Gu Tingwei to act so responsibly towards Tangtang. He had actually provided such knowledge to Tangtang before he had even had the chance to.

Mo Heng stroked Tangtang’s head with a smile. “Then Big Brother will head out first. Once Tangtang’s tail grows out, Big Brother will come in again. Is that okay?”

Tangtang nodded her head obediently.

That day, Mo Heng discovered that Tangtang had learned how to put on her own clothes. And she even went to the toilet on her own too… She had grown so independent! It was truly impressive.

As promised, Gu Tingwei’s chauffeur, Uncle Li, showed up at Mo Heng’s carpark the next day.

Mo Heng conveniently transferred the baby seat from his own car into the Gu Family’s car.

There wasn’t much room in the back seat. After adding the baby seat, only Gu Tingwei could fit in the back, so Mo Heng had to sit in the passenger seat.

No matter how unwilling Tangtang was, she could only sit obediently next to Gu Tingwei to and from the training center.

Fortunately, Gu Tingwei no longer asked her if she was a mermaid. He also didn’t say any other strange things. On the contrary, he taught her loads of new things. Even Ms. Zhou complimented her rapid improvement.

Very soon, Tangtang’s crash training course came to an end.

On the last day, before her lesson had even ended, Mo Heng suddenly picked Tangtang up and hurriedly carried her away.

Gu Tingwei had originally intended to ask for Tangtang’s contact details on the way home…

Unexpectedly and abruptly, they had been separated—
