“Why are people greeting Big Daddy? Do you know them?”
The sight of passersby bowing and greeting seemed fascinating to the young child.
To his innocent question, Chae whispered to Uju with a confident voice.
“Because I’m a king.”
“Wow~ Amazing! Big Daddy is the best!”
While technically true, Seolwon just wanted to go upstairs.
Everyone was wondering who she was, walking next to Vice President Chae.
But the awkwardness only intensified when they reached the floor with the vice president’s office.
As the glass door opened and Chae entered with Uju in his arms, all eyes magnetically turned towards them.
A silent hush fell over the floor.
Breaking the silence was a manager standing near the entrance.
“Ah, hello, Vice President. Good morning.”
“Yes.”
“Uh…….”
The manager, with his balding head, rolled his eyes towards Uju and then back to Seolwon.
Chae clarified for him, struggling to continue his question.
“This is my son. And she’s my wife.”
“Ah. Ah~.”
The manager gaped, and behind him, the employees stared wide-eyed.
They were straining their necks to get a better look at Uju and Seolwon, as if spotting a giraffe.
Seolwon’s shoulders were about to slump with embarrassment when she suddenly felt a firm pressure on them. A warm presence followed.
Chae naturally placed his hand on her shoulder.
“Please take good care of them. We’ll be visiting often.”
“Yes, of course!”
Before they could react to his comment about frequent visits, everyone’s pupils dilated as they saw Chae’s hand on her shoulder.
Wanting to escape the situation, Seolwon looked around.
Then Chae asked in a honey-dripping, affectionate voice.
“Looking for something?”
“Ah. I was wondering where your office is. And… where Director Jeong might be. And also…….”
Chae chuckled softly.
Then he pulled her closer and whispered in her ear.
“Feeling overwhelmed? I’d love to be alone with you in my office, but since we brought our little one to the company, shouldn’t we show him around?”
“…….”
Unable to respond, Seolwon just moved her lips helplessly.
That’s when her savior appeared.
“Oh! Vice President, young lady! And Uju too, what brings you here?”
“Director Jeong!”
“Seeing you here is a pleasant surprise.”
As Director Jeong approached, the sweating manager quietly slipped back to his seat.
Following Uju, who was happily waving his hands, Seolwon also couldn’t hide her relief and subtly slipped her shoulder out of Chae’s hand.
The English translation of the passage is as follows:
It was clearly a company, but they were enacting a scene that was too familial for too long.
“Uncle!”
“Right. Our Uju is on kindergarten vacation, isn’t he?”
“Yes!”
“Daddy… no, you came to see Big Daddy’s company.”
“Yes! Big Daddy’s company is really, really big~.”
At Uju’s innocent admiration, Director Jeong smiled broadly and looked at Chae.
“Vice President. Shall I guide Uju and the young lady around?”
“No. It’s okay. I’ll show them around myself.”
“Directly by you, sir?”
“Is there a problem?”
“Not at all, but…….”
Quick-witted Director Jeong glanced at Seolwon.
Seizing the moment, Seolwon sent him a pleading look for help.
However, Chae mercilessly blocked their exchange of glances.
“Anyway, there’s no meeting this morning. Leave any urgent approvals on my desk. I’ll review them when I return.”
“Yes.”
“Alright, kiddo. Shall we start the company tour in earnest?”
Chae gently set Uju down on the floor.
Uju’s large eyes sparkled with curiosity.
At the same time, Seolwon felt a warm sensation in her hand. Chae had taken her hand.
“……?”
Seolwon looked at Chae with a puzzled expression, unable to hide her blush.
Then, he naturally grabbed Uju’s hand with his other hand.
“Let’s go. You might not know, but our company has quite a few facilities for children.”
“I get it, so please let go of my hand…….”
“No. Didn’t you hear the kiddo? It’s a really, really big place, and we might get lost if we let go. Right, kiddo?”
“Yes! Mommy should also hold onto Big Daddy’s hand tightly!”
Seeing Uju looking up at them innocently with flushed cheeks, Seolwon found herself unable to argue further.
Reluctantly, she began her first-ever tour of the Chaeun headquarters, led by him.
Behind them, the employees, who had been holding their breath, let out excited exclamations.
“Wow, so the scary rumors weren’t true! Did you see their eyes dripping with honey?”
“I know. I didn’t believe it when they said he went camping with Director Jeong’s family, but look at how affectionate they are!”
“Did you know? The painting in the vice president’s office was drawn by his son! That cute kid must have drawn it!”
“So the thing he kept looking at every five minutes wasn’t a blank check?”
“No, they said it was a family photo.”
“My goodness. How did you know? Who said it was a family photo?”
“……The vice president himself.”
“Ah…….”
At this moment, the Crown Prince of Chaeun, Kwon Chae, was undoubtedly earning a new nickname.
A doting dad. And an extremely devoted one at that.

She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
