Chapter 27 Chapter 27 A unique preference

Before the National Day holiday was over, something happened that gave Wei Ran a headache - the kindergarten informed parents that the recent H1N1 flu problem was serious and the park decided to take a temporary holiday.

Recently, City S was indeed attacked by the H1N1 flu again. Children have weak immunity, so Wei Ran no longer dares to bring Dudu to the crew.

Then how to arrange Dudu becomes another problem.

At this time, Wei Ran's adoptive mother, Ms. Bai, called and said, "I'm going back to China in the next few days... I'll take care of your second brother's child for a few days. You know your second brother is unreliable, and I'm really worried... Why don't you send Dudu over as well..."

On the other end of the phone, Wei Ran subconsciously held the phone tightly and said nothing.

Ms. Bai then continued, "Well, it's okay if you don't send it over. I know you wouldn't be worried about your second brother's temper... Ah Ran, how about I take some time to visit you and help you with some things..."

"No, no need..." Wei Ran said hurriedly.

If Ms. Bai just wants to stay at home temporarily, Wei Ran will certainly welcome her.

But the adoptive mother's tone clearly showed her guilt for helping her second brother look after the child and not being able to help him look after Dudu. In this case, Wei Ran could not bother her to come over again.

Knowing that the other party couldn't really come, Wei Ran simply changed the subject: "What day is your flight? I'll pick you up in advance and take you to my second brother's house."

"That's not necessary. I know you're busy." Ms. Bai said hurriedly.

"...W City is not far away. Come to my house for dinner when you have time. I will make you your favorite steamed mandarin fish."

"……good."

With a movement of his throat, Wei Ran responded.

He happened to be at home at that moment. Dudu heard their conversation and ran over, looking up at Wei Ran, which meant that Dubao wanted to talk to grandma.

Wei Ran handed the phone to Dudu.

Ms. Bai has two sons. The eldest son, Cao She, is two years older than Wei Ran. Since childhood, he has been regarded as a mature and reliable elder brother by his parents and elders. He is currently working in Canada as an executive of a multinational company and is single.

The second son, Cao Hui, was unreliable since childhood. Not only did he not study well, he also got into a lot of fights. When he grew up, he offended people abroad, so his parents had to send him back to China to live with his grandfather.

As a result, last year, Cao Hui actually got someone pregnant.

The Cao family was an educated and respectable family. After knowing this, Cao's father ordered Cao Hui to be responsible for the girl. Ms. Bai also hurriedly prepared for the wedding, and the two families got married.

Now that the child is born, the naughty Cao Hui shows no intention of calming down. The family is in chaos, and Ms. Bai has no choice but to return to China to take charge of the situation... Although Wei Ran moved out of the Cao family early, he still calls to greet his adoptive parents during holidays. He knows all these things.

Although he knew it, Wei Ran, despite being in China, couldn't do anything about it. He and Cao Hui had been at odds since childhood.

In the past, Cao Hui always made Ms. Bai angry. When Wei Ran was a child, they often fought each other, and Cao Hui also disliked Wei Ran. Even now, Wei Ran and the Cao brothers rarely contacted each other unless it was a big deal.

If Wei Ran interferes in the other party's family affairs at this time, it will only make things more chaotic.

In fact, Ms. Bai likes Dudu very much.

At least during the six months that Wei Ran sent Dudu abroad, Dubao never suffered any grievances and was quite happy.

Dudu also likes Ms. Bai very much. No matter what his relationship with the Cao brothers is, Wei Ran always respects and loves his adoptive parents. He also feels sorry for his adoptive mother who has to travel back and forth in her fifties and sixties.

After Dudu chatted with his grandmother for a long time, Wei Ran took the phone again and promised, "Call me if you need anything. W City is very close, I'll be there anytime."

"It's nothing." Ms. Bai's tone was very kind and gentle. She finally said, "Aran, you too, take good care of yourself and Dudu."

“…Yeah.” After talking with her adoptive mother for a while, Wei Ran hung up the phone without mentioning that Dudu’s kindergarten was on holiday.

No matter how much Ms. Bai likes Dudu, she will definitely put her biological son first.

Although Wei Ran felt sorry for his adoptive mother, he went to the Cao family when he was nine years old and stayed there for almost eight years. He had a deep understanding of this truth.

Of course, Wei Ran also knew that he was just an adopted son. He didn't pick on that. But how should Dudu spend the next period of vacation? That still made Wei Ran feel troubled.

Grandma Wang’s daily job is just to take care of Dudu’s diet, pick up and drop off Dudu from school, accompany Dudu at night, coax Dudu to sleep or wait for Wei Ran to come back.

The energy required to just do these things is completely different from the energy required to play with children every day.

Even if Wei Ran gave Aunt Wang a raise and doubled her salary, Wang Shuqin felt that she could not take care of so many things.

What's more, she had some family matters during this period, and had to go home during the day to take care of her husband who had a cerebral thrombosis. If Dudu didn't have a holiday, she would be free during the daytime.

Then the biggest problem becomes who will look after Dudu during the day.

Wei Ran was worried about hiring a stranger to accompany Dudu alone, so the solution he finally came up with was to hire a professional to accompany Dudu during the day, and then ask the driver to work overtime to help look after Dudu.

Although the cost will double, at least Wei Ran can have peace of mind.

The job posting was quickly posted online. Wei Ran also hired a professional childcare agency to help select candidates, and the agency was quick to arrange an interview this morning.

But what arrived earlier than all these was the sound of his doorbell ringing.

Wei Ran looked at Lin Luochen outside through the security door and subconsciously clutched her sleeves, "...Why is it you?"

"Who else could it be?" Lin Luochen tilted his head subtly and asked sharply.

“…”

Lin Luochen: "You won't let me in?"

“…Father Lin!”

Instead of answering Wei Ran, the sound of small footsteps running towards them was heard.

Wei Ran: “…”

It was a rare day that Wei Ran had a morning off today. Dudu was very excited and kept following his father around like a little tail.

Dudu's shape does look like a little tail. The baby put on the stuffed little dinosaur clothes, and the tail at the back was very long. It wobbled when he ran, just like a little dinosaur cub that had not yet grown up.

Lin Luochen stood quietly outside the door, looking at Wei Ran in home clothes and the little dinosaur Dudu behind him through the security door.

I suddenly couldn't suppress the urge to rush in.

…

Wei Ran still adhered to the principle of hospitality and let the person in, but Lin Luochen did not insist on going in. He stated his purpose as soon as he entered the door: "Dudu kindergarten is on vacation, why not let him stay with me for the next few days."

"Varied……"

Wei Ran was shocked, surprised by both the other person's words and his directness, so he took a long time to ask: "...How did you know that Dudu kindergarten was on vacation?"

Lin Luochen cast his gaze on Wei Ran: "My cousin's child also wants to go to Dudu's kindergarten."

"...Ah?" Wei Ran was completely stunned. Although Dudu went to a very good private kindergarten, it obviously couldn't recruit children of the Lin family's level...

Lin Luochen said: "Lin Yanghanhai wants me to help him find a kindergarten. I think Dudu's school is good."

Lin Luochen's cousin was not from the direct line of the Lin family. He had never been valued by Lin Luochen's grandfather and could not hold his head up. He had no choice but to join Lin Luochen early on.

Lin Luochen doesn't like forming cliques, and he never defines who is friend or foe. His criteria for judging who is worthy of being around him are:

One is whether the other party is obedient, and the other is whether the other party is valuable.

Lin Yanghanhai's father at least met the first point, he was not noisy or troublesome, so Lin Luochen never rejected this cousin.

The reason for arranging him to attend Dudu Kindergarten...

"When they heard I was back, they wanted to go back too. He asked me to find a kindergarten for his son that day, and I thought this was a chance to get closer to you, so I decided to arrange for Lin Yanghanhai to go to Dudu's kindergarten."

Wei Ran: “…”

Wei Ran subconsciously took a step back. He didn't expect Lin Luochen to tell the reason so bluntly... No, the point was, the reason was actually this???

Don’t you think it’s too hasty?!

Lin Luochen said bluntly, "Of course, now that things have come to this, if you're worried that a child named Lin entering kindergarten will affect Dudu, I can just move him to another place."

...Since I can already meet Wei Ran, there is no need to use my nephew to get close to Dudu.

Lin Luochen's meaning was very straightforward.

Wei Ran: ...

It's really sloppy!

He was completely stunned by Lin Luochen's straightforwardness.

Lin Luochen casually put one hand in his trouser pocket and looked around Wei Ran's clean and tidy apartment. In an instant, he was sure that he could smell the scent of sunshine.

A warmth seemed to flow through his heart. He subconsciously took a step forward and said to Wei Ran, "You and Dudu are the most important."

“…”Wei Ran lowered her head.

In fact, Lin Luochen was like this when he was young. He never hesitated to express his love directly.

Although Lin Luochen never behaves like this in front of outsiders.

In Lin Luochen's words: "Wei Ran is his muse."

"Wei Ran is always different when he's with her."

For Wei Ran, who became an orphan at a young age, was forced to leave her adoptive parents' home at the age of 18, and was forced to go to another country to study, Lin Luochen's preference for her was unique.

So at that time... I knew it was wrong.

Wei Ran still agreed to let Lin Luochen visit him every weekend.

…

Faced with Lin Luochen's approach, Wei Ran subconsciously took a step back.

Lin Luochen wasn't surprised. He was probably mentally prepared. He simply returned to the point and asked, "How about Dudu playing with Daddy Lin these few days?"

He changed his target and asked Little Tail Dudu.

Wei Ran: “…”

Wearing the little dinosaur costume, Wei Dudu looked even rounder than he did outside. Lin Luochen squatted down, held the round baby in his arms, let Dudu lean on his knees, and then, like a magic trick, conjured up a car model with a little golden man for Dudu.

…

Car models are exactly what kids of Dudu’s age like, and they are available in almost all toy stores.

But Lin Luochen's is a limited edition gift for buying a car. The material is exactly the same as his Phantom, and the style is a completely smaller version, exquisite and textured.

Dudu opened his mouth very happily: "O!"

Wei Ran: “…”

Last time, Lin Luochen said he wanted to give Dudu the car with the little golden man on it, and Dudu agreed, but he couldn't agree to it.

Fortunately, this Lin guy wasn't crazy enough to actually pass a multi-million dollar luxury car onto a four-year-old baby... But compared to the shock of almost receiving a real car, this model is not unacceptable.

Wei Ran opened her mouth, but ultimately did not stop Dudu from accepting the gift.

At the dining table, Wei Ran poured Lin Luochen a cup of tea.

Aunt Wang was out on some business, so only Wei Ran and Dudu were at home. Considering that a childcare teacher would be coming for an interview soon, Wei Ran said, "I've already found someone to look after Dudu, so don't bother me."

Lin Luochen: "Are you comfortable letting a complete stranger take care of Dudu?"

Wei Ran wanted to say that he had already found two people to watch it at the same time, but he felt that there was no need to explain, so he just said: "I will be free after I finish filming in a few days. It's just a matter of two more days..."

Lin Luochen quickly said, "It just so happens that I'm taking Dudu to the amusement park these two days."

“…”

As soon as he heard about going to kindergarten, Dudu, who was originally immersed in playing with the car, suddenly raised his head, his eyes lit up, and he turned into a little dinosaur who was looking around for the amusement park with "I want to go" written all over his forehead.

This is exactly the effect Lin Luochen wants.

He couldn't help but curl his lips in satisfaction. "What kind of theme park does Dudu want to go to? Dad Lin will ask the private plane to set up the route, and we will leave tomorrow."

Wei Ran: “…………”
