Contemporary college student Ye Zhao stayed up all night working on a thesis and died of exhaustion, transmigrating into the CEO's fiancée and becoming a calculating supporting role.
Well...
When Yuanbao went out, Yan Xi carried a SpongeBob SquarePants yellow backpack for him, and he wore a white short-sleeved shirt with a black and white striped knit sweater and dark jeans. The little boy looked very clean and handsome.
Yan Sen led him into the hotel, and Yuanbao looked around curiously: "Grandpa, where is this? Weren't you going to take me to play?"
Yan Sen coaxed softly, "How about I take you to play with that uncle from yesterday?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Yang Xu came out to greet him: "Mr. Yan, young master!"
Yuanbao looked at him with a blank expression, then politely greeted him, "Hello, Uncle!"
The little boy's voice was very clear and crisp. Yang Xu smiled brightly at him, bent down and patted his head, saying, "Hello!"
Meanwhile, the old man in the suite upstairs straightened his clothes and asked, "Is it alright if I'm dressed like this?"
Butler Liu replied with an amused expression, "No problem, don't worry."
When he was young, Mr. Shen was a decisive and extremely serious person. Who would have thought that he would have such an adorable side in his old age? Butler Liu couldn't help but smile when he saw Mr. Shen's nervous and flustered appearance.
"Please come in!" Yang Xu's voice came, and everyone looked towards the door.
Yan Sen led Xiao Yuanbao in, and Xiao Yuanbao greeted everyone obediently as always: "Hello, grandpas, hello, uncles."
Amused by his address, Grandpa Shen beckoned to him: "Child, come here and let your great-grandfather take a look."
Shen Du stood up and invited Yan Sen to sit down on the sofa: "You've worked hard."
Yan Sen waved his hand and said, "It's not hard work, Yuanbao is a very easy child to take care of."
Seeing this, Yuanbao walked over with his short legs, his gaze falling on Grandpa Shen's smooth face, and asked curiously, "Grandpa, why don't you have a beard?"
Grandpa Shen pulled him into his arms with a look of affection, stroked his smooth chin, and asked, "Do you like beards?"
Yuanbao shook her head, her voice soft and sweet: "The old men in cartoons all have beards, why don't you?"
The old man laughed and explained, "Because my great-grandfather shaved his beard especially to see you..."
Looking at the old man and the young boy, Chen Du asked Yan Sen in a low voice, "Uncle Yan, I wonder what Ye Zhao means..."
Yan Sen sighed and said, "After all, you are also the child's family. She means that you can see the child, but she hopes that you will not expose the child to others and will set a fixed visiting date. She will then allow you to see the child."
Looking at the beaming old man, Chen Du replied, "That would be perfect... Thank you for bringing the child over today."
Yan Sen waved his hand: "You're welcome. I have something to do. You two spend some time with the child."
"good."
Yan Sen walked over to Yuanbao, squatted down, and coaxed, "Yuanbao, your great-uncle has to go out for a bit. Why don't you play with your uncle here for a while?"
Yuanbao looked up at Chen Du who was walking from behind, then leaned against Yan Sen's chest and pouted, "Where is Grandpa going? Why aren't you taking Yuanbao with you?"
Yan Sen's heart melted at Yuanbao's pitiful little face. He hugged Yuanbao and quickly comforted him, "Grandpa is busy with work. How about this grandpa and uncle play with you?"
Little Yuanbao turned to look at Grandpa Shen, whose face was full of expectation, then pouted and shrank into Yan Sen's arms. After all, he was still a three-year-old child, and no matter how cheerful he was, he was still shy around strangers.
At this moment, Chen Du spoke up: "Uncle Yan, if you're not busy, why don't you stay and spend some time with the children?"
When Yan Sen saw Yuanbao lying on his shoulder looking so aggrieved, his heart softened, and he quickly replied, "No rush, I'll stay and keep him company."
After saying that, he patted Yuanbao on the back and coaxed him gently, "Yuanbao, your great-uncle won't leave. Your great-uncle will stay with you."
Yuanbao then happily put her arm around his shoulder and said, "Grandpa is so nice."
Old Master Shen felt uneasy watching this, even though he was the great-grandfather. Butler Liu and Yang Xu exchanged a glance, trying hard to suppress their smiles.
Seeing that Yuanbao's emotions had calmed down considerably, the old man gently took his hand and said in a serious and earnest tone, "Yuanbao, you must call me great-grandfather."
Little Yuanbao turned to look at him, his eyes full of confusion, and then he asked softly, "Why are you the real grandpa, and are there fake grandpas?"
The old man: "..."
A hint of a smile appeared in Shen Du's eyes.
A three-year-old child can't distinguish between retroflex and alveolar consonants, let alone understand the meaning behind the old man's words.
The old man had no choice but to say, "I am your father's grandfather, so you should call me great-grandfather, child."
Yuanbao looked even more puzzled, and hesitated before saying, "Mom said she and Dad separated, and I've never seen Dad..."
Shen Du was slightly stunned. It turned out that Ye Zhao had not erased his presence from the child's eyes either.
So he squatted down in front of Yuanbao's puzzled expression, looked into the child's clear eyes and said gently, "Yuanbao, I am your father."
His voice trembled slightly, though he was unaware of it.
Yuanbao's eyes widened as he looked at Chen Du, then at Grandpa Shen, before quietly snuggling into Yan Sen's arms. He whispered, thinking he was being discreet, "Grandpa, have we run into some swindlers? Run!"
Chen Du: "..."
Old Master Shen burst into laughter, and Butler Liu and Yang Xu couldn't help but chuckle.
Yan Sen smiled and touched his face, pointing at Chen Du and saying, "Uncle isn't a liar, he really is your father."
Yuanbao turned to look at Chen Du and asked in a childish voice, "Are you really my dad?"
Shen Du nodded: "Of course."
Little Yuanbao pouted: "Then why haven't I seen you before?"
Chen Du patiently explained, "Didn't your mother say that I broke up with her, which is why you haven't seen me?"
Yuanbao looked like he understood, but Chen Du and the others almost thought he had taken it to heart. Unexpectedly, Yuanbao suddenly turned to Yan Sen with a haughty expression and said, "I want to go back and ask my mother if he is my father."
The old man's eyes were full of smiles as he couldn't help but praise, "The child is so clever!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Yang Xu went to open it.
A moment later, a pile of toys and snacks were brought in, making Yuanbao's eyes widen. Before Yan Sen could say anything, he had already run over and curiously looked at the pile of toys.
Yan Sen watched as these things were continuously brought in, his lips twitching slightly. He slowly said, "The child can't eat all this, and there are too many toys..."
The old man looked at Yuanbao and said happily, "If you can't eat it all, eat whatever you like. Take all the toys home and play with them slowly. I'll have Lao Liu find someone to make some more when I get back. These were all bought on short notice today..."
Yan Sen wanted to ask if it was too extravagant, but he opened his mouth and said nothing.
