"Then I'm going to replace you!"
Chen Du: "..."
Grandpa Shen: "...Hahahahahahahahahahahaha"
Yan Sen suppressed a laugh and quickly said, "Yuanbao, this isn't a new one."
Little Yuanbao looked aggrieved and pouted, saying, "I want to change. I want my mom to find me another dad."
The old man stroked his head affectionately and said gently, "Let's change it later, okay?"
Chen Du: "..."
Yan Sen: "..." Is this even possible?
Yuanbao nodded and replied, "Okay! Great-Grandpa, I'll get it for you!"
The old man's eyes lit up at the words, and he quickly pulled the child into his arms, exclaiming, "Oh, my sweet baby!"
Chen Du: "..." At such a young age, he already knows how to bribe people.
Yan Sen and the others exchanged glances, suppressing their laughter.
After a while, Xiao Yuanbao calmed down a lot and kept calling him "Great-Grandpa," which made Grandpa Shen very happy, his face full of wrinkles when he smiled.
At that moment, Yuanbao was playing with his new toy, running back and forth between the several rooms of the suite, while the old man followed behind him with a loving expression, leaning on his cane.
Shen Du frowned and stared for a long time. Seeing this, Yang Xu whispered, "The old gentleman is happy, so don't worry. Butler Liu is with you too."
Shen Du nodded without saying much. He was just worried that if the child accidentally bumped into him while playing, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Yuanbao rode his new car around the room a few times, then ran up to Grandpa Shen and Yan Sen and said obediently, "Great-Grandpa, Uncle, when I grow up I'll buy you a car and take you to play."
The two were overjoyed to hear this, and then Xiao Yuanbao added, "I also want to take Uncle Yang Xu and Grandpa Liu to play."
There are only five people in this room, and everyone said that Chen Du was the only one left.
Yuanbao finished speaking with a proud look, then turned to look at Chen Du, pouting her lips.
Chen Du: "..."
He didn't provoke him, right? Why do you just dislike him?
Butler Liu wanted to ask the same question, but seeing that Yuanbao was the only one left with Chendu, he asked gently, "Yuanbao, aren't you taking your dad with you? Daddy likes you very much too!"
Little Yuanbao glanced at Chen Du and replied, "But if my great-grandfather wants to give me a different father, then my father won't be him anymore."
Butler Liu: "..."
Grandpa Shen laughed heartily again: "The boy has a good memory."
After a while, while the old man was still playing with the children, Chen Du had already gotten up to go back to work.
Meanwhile, Ye Zhao was also packing her luggage, preparing to head to City B.
She missed her child terribly these past few days. She had originally planned to wait until the child had met with Grandpa Shen before picking him up, but after making a phone call with Xiao Yuanbao and seeing his pitiful look, Ye Zhao couldn't help but soften her heart and immediately packed her bags to leave.
With Feng Cheng at the guesthouse, Ye Zhao felt reassured. The newly purchased house was almost finished with renovations, so there was nothing for her to worry about. After packing her luggage and talking to the guests at the guesthouse, Ye Zhao headed straight to the airport.
As the afternoon heat subsided in City B, the weather became much cooler. The old man put the cardigan that Yuanbao had taken off earlier back on him, gently reminding him, "It's getting cooler, don't let our Yuanbao catch a cold."
Yuanbao was also well-behaved, letting the old man slowly dress him. Even though the old man was moving very slowly, he was not impatient and whispered, "Great-Grandpa, I can ask my great-uncle to help me dress."
The old man didn't want to let go, and said, "Can your great-grandfather put it on you?"
Yuanbao nodded seriously: "Okay!"
Shen Du silently watched the old man and the child, his expression softening for once.
Just before dinner, Yan Sen answered a phone call on the balcony, the old man went to the bathroom, and Yuanbao, carrying a doll, lingered and walked over to Chen Du. Chen Du looked at him quietly without saying a word.
Yuanbao approached hesitantly, looked up at him, and asked in a childish voice, "Uncle, why did you separate from my mom?"
He was quite polite; instead of calling me "Dad," he called me "Uncle," which almost made Shen Du laugh out loud.
However, he patiently replied, "We broke up because we couldn't get along."
Yuanbao looked puzzled, then asked, "You didn't hit my mom?"
Chen Du frowned: "Why would I hit her?"
Yuanbao looked puzzled and replied, "Yaya secretly told me that her father hit her mother, which is why her parents separated."
Although he didn't know who Ya Ya was, Shen Du still replied, "I didn't hit your mother, we just had a disagreement."
So he thought he wanted to replace Ye Zhao because he hit him? Kids' thoughts are really... hard to fathom.
Yuanbao looked even more confused: "What do you mean by 'disagreement in the relationship'?"
Do all kids have this many questions? Shen Du frowned and replied, "They just don't have feelings for each other anymore and don't want to be with each other anymore."
Yuanbao looked at him with a puzzled expression: "But you didn't hit my mom, right?"
Chen Du shook his head and asked again, "You didn't bully my mother either?"
Chen Du still shook his head, and Yuan Bao was finally satisfied. She hugged the doll and moved a little closer to him, saying in a haughty tone, "Alright then, I'll allow you to be my dad."
Chen Du: "..."
Before Shen Du could react, he moved closer to Shen Du and leaned against him, acting very familiar.
Shen Du felt a soft little person leaning against his leg, and a faint milky scent wafted from their body.
Yuanbao leaned against him, looked at the toys piled up all over the room with a reluctant expression, and then turned to look at him and said, "Dad, I don't think I can play with so many toys."
The child's voice was soft and sweet, but his cry of "Dad!" was clear and distinct.
Shen Du felt an extremely strange sensation spreading from his heart to all parts of his body, and even his expression became a little uneasy.
"What's wrong?"
He himself didn't realize how gentle his voice was.
Yuanbao looked at the room full of toys, his little face full of struggle: "I can't play with so many toys, it's such a waste."
"Don't you like it?" Shen Du's tone softened unconsciously.
Yuanbao nodded, then hesitated before answering, "I like them, but Mom said that if we buy too many toys, I won't be able to play with them all by myself, and it would be a waste."
Shen Du rarely reached out and patted his head: "Since you like it, how can it be a waste?"
Yuanbao turned to look at him, her eyes showing some disapproval: "You can't do that. Mom said it's a waste of money to buy so many toys and leave them at home without playing with them for more than a few days!"
Chen Du smiled and said, "You know how to waste money?"
Yuanbao looked smug and said, "I know! Dad, you can't do that. What will you do if you spend all the money?"
To be honest, Chen Du hadn't thought about this either, but before he could say anything, Yuan Bao said, "Wasting money will get you a spanking!"
Chen Du: "..." What did he say? Whose butt should I spank?
At the same time, Ye Zhao boarded a plane to B City.
