The footage, posted on the actress’ Weibo account Wednesday, captures Wang packing their four-year-old daughter’s belongings, accompanying her to a car, and delivering her to Tian’s place.

"Honestly, I just ask my husband not to let our daughter get lost," Tian captioned the video, which has garnered over 10 million views since its posting.

Numerous Weibo users commented under the video, with one saying: "Dads always adore their daughters."

"Wang truly excels at caring for kids," another added.

According to Sina, Tian and Wang have maintained privacy regarding their personal lives. Earlier this year, Wang disclosed that he and Tian have a daughter together.

Wang once stated that Tian was mischaracterized as "marrying a wealthy husband for money," clarifying that when they met, Tian’s savings from astute investments surpassed his, securing her financial independence.

"If there’s one that depends on the other between me and her, it would be me depending on her," he asserted.

Wang, founder of Vanke—once China’s largest residential real estate development company, as reported by the South China Morning Post—is married to Tian in his second marriage.

Tian initiated her acting career with the 2003 Hong Kong film "The Spy Dad," featuring Tony Leung, and subsequently pursued minor roles in various films and TV shows. Her early career struggles led her to study at China’s Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business before returning to Hong Kong as a property consultant, where she met Wang at 27.

The couple did not publicly acknowledge their relationship on Weibo until 2012. Wang subsequently divorced his first wife and married Tian, though reports vary with some placing the wedding in 2013 and others in 2018.
