The baby opened his eyes wide and carefully examined each piece.

"Yo! Oh! Sa!"

one two three!

Three fruit slices.

My dad is better than the best dad in the world.

The little one raised both hands and, with a "smack," his round head landed on the high chair's table.

Baby: Yay! Long live Daddy! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!

But Dad was very aloof and didn't get his son's "thank you" gift at all. He just put away the snack packaging and went to make lunch.

"Since Chi Yuan is here too, shall we make a... soup? Never mind, let's make fried rice instead."

After much thought, Shen Yulou still felt that there was nothing more convenient and delicious than fried rice with eggs.

There was leftover food in the fridge, perfect.

Whisk the eggs and steam them. Just as I put the lid on, the steamer was ready.

As soon as he opened the door, Chi Yuan looked down and was somewhat taken aback to see Shen Yulou wearing slippers and an apron.

Forgive him, this Finance Minister who is decisive and authoritative in the political world, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would put on an apron.

"Hmm, come in and have some water."

Shen Yulou nodded slightly, his voice carrying a lazy tone.

His hair was wildly messy, with a few stray strands standing straight up on his head, as if to show his casual attitude towards getting up.

Shen Yulou turned slightly to the side, and Chi Yuan entered the room through the small crack in the door. His superior height allowed him to take in the entire room's furnishings at a glance.

Including that little guy munching on snacks, his chubby feet stomping left and right in the air.

"Wow, what an adorable baby."

Chi Yuan rarely showed a genuine smile.

The cubs are indeed the purest things in the world.

"Thank you, I also think he's very cute, please sit anywhere."

I poured Chi Yuan a glass of water. The little one smelled the familiar scent of Chi's father and started babbling as he reached out to Chi Yuan, wanting him to hold him.

"It seems my little angel really likes you. Would you like to hug him?"

Before Chi Yuan could speak, Shen Yulou appeared in front of him with the baby in her arms.

"Okay, but my skills might not be very good, please forgive me."

When Chi Yuan took over this little dumpling, he secretly glanced at Shen Yulou and the baby's hair and eye colors.

The baby has black hair and eyes. Is he/she adopted?

But they look quite alike.

Okay, here comes the first universally unbeatable century-old problem.

Shen Yulou didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only obediently sit on the sofa and take care of the child.

"Bang! Bang!"

The little one sat on Chi Yuan's lap and called out "Daddy" in a sweet voice, smiling as he tried to share his snacks with Chi Yuan.

Chi Yuan's heart softened at his call, and he couldn't help but lean in and give the little guy an exaggerated "vampire" smile.

He flashed his white teeth, his face filled with "drooling" over the cub.

"You're so cute. Maybe you can say goodbye to your dad tonight."

Suddenly, a warm breath came from behind him, and he instinctively froze.

Without anyone noticing, Shen Yulou quietly stood behind the sofa, leaning forward slightly, almost touching Chi Yuan's cheek.

His gaze also fell on the child, his thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was low and gentle.

"No, stealing children is illegal."

As they spoke, Shen Yulou's breath brushed gently against Chi Yuan's ear, causing Chi Yuan's heart to race.

Yeah, I was scared.

"Oh, by the way, he's my biological son, not adopted."

Shen Yulou reached out and gently pinched the child's chubby cheeks. The little guy was amused and giggled, waving his little hands around in the air.

"You have really good genes."

"Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone."

Upon hearing this juicy gossip, Chi Yuan, while surprised, quickly realized what was going on and pledged his loyalty to Shen Yulou.

"Really? Aren't you curious about who I had with?"

The two were so close they could feel each other's breath. Chi Yuan didn't even need to look to feel Shen Yulou's rather aggressive gaze.
