In the evening, the family of three sat at the dinner table, enjoying a warm and cozy meal, if one could ignore the faint, lingering smell of aged vinegar in the air.
Gu Fei ate his meal while watching the father and son enjoying a harmonious moment together.
“There are rice grains all over An’an’s face.” An Qingyan took a tissue and wiped the rice grains off Gu Yu’an’s mouth. Then she picked up some vegetables and put them into his children’s plate. She coaxed him gently, “Come on, An’an, you have to eat more vegetables. You can’t just eat meat.”
The little guy stared at the shredded carrots on his plate with a frown, and said in his childish, broken Mandarin: "Daddy, I don't want to eat carrots, they're not good to eat."
An Qingyan was amused by him, "What did Dad tell you? You can't be a picky eater."
"But...it really doesn't taste good."
Just then, Gu Fei, who had been silent all along, looked at his adorable youngest son with a blank expression and said in a flat voice, "You can't be a picky eater."
Hearing this, Gu Yu'an glanced at him timidly, then quickly finished eating all the carrots. Her little face looked like she was about to cry. Daddy was so fierce, Daddy was so much better.
In this situation, An Qingyan felt helpless yet amused. Master Gu really was good at disciplining children. He whispered to the man, "Brother Fei, don't be so fierce to An'an. You're almost scaring him to tears."
Gu Fei: "?"
Master Gu genuinely felt wronged; his expression and tone were always like that, and he certainly didn't intentionally yell at the little guy. (Remember this website: https://m.)
However, Master Gu's handsome face with its deep features looked really serious when he wasn't expressionless, and his tone of voice was cold and calm, exuding an aura that was not to be trifled with.
No child is unafraid of him.
"Come on, Daddy can't be picky about food, eat more carrots." An Qingyan smiled and put two big mouthfuls of carrot shreds on Gu Fei's plate. Even though Master Gu doesn't like carrots.
Last night I kept him up until the wee hours, so I had to get my revenge a little. Thinking this, he picked up two more pieces of carrot and piled them up in his rice bowl like a small mountain.
An Qingyan: "Come on, An'an, say it with me: Daddy can't be a picky eater either!"
Gu Yu'an: "Daddy can't be a picky eater either!"
Gu Fei: "..."
As the days went by, Gu Yu'an became more and more cheerful, and his relationship with his father, grandmother, maternal grandparents, uncles, and even Butler Shen became closer and closer.
Except for his father, Gu Fei.
Firstly, because Master Gu often gets jealous for no reason; secondly, because Master Gu's personality makes it impossible for him to get along with children. He usually has no expression and is taciturn when facing Gu Yu'an.
As a result, the little guy now avoids him when he sees him. When the two are alone in a space, the father and son basically don't communicate. Gu Fei is working, while little Gu Yu'an stays in a corner playing with toys and reading children's books to entertain himself.
Mr. Gu felt somewhat troubled. He wanted to get along well with his youngest son, but the little guy would hide whenever he saw him, as if he had seen some kind of monster.
Little Gu Yu'an has been a bit troubled lately. He knows that his dad isn't a bad person. His dad is tall and handsome, but he's just too fierce. He's never smiled at him, and he speaks very harshly. He even forces him to eat vegetables he doesn't like.
He's really afraid of his dad.
Daddy is very good to Daddy. He often smiles at Daddy and touches Daddy's head. He even accidentally saw Daddy kissing Daddy's lips and picking Daddy up.
An Qingyan felt that things couldn't continue like this, and he had to improve the relationship between Fei Ge and An An. So he decided to let Gu Fei take care of An An alone for a day to see how it went.
"An'an, Daddy likes you very much too, but he keeps his feelings hidden in his heart. So An'an, don't be afraid of Daddy, and get along well with him."
"Yes, An'an will do her best!"
After comforting the younger one, An Qingyan went to comfort the older one. "Brother Fei, you can't always have a long face towards An'an. You need to smile at him more and talk to him more. An'an is so cute. Children are easy to coax. Keep it up! I believe in you!"
Gu Fei: "...I'll try my best."
Mr. Gu reluctantly accepted the arduous task of taking care of the child.
So, on a sunny morning, after breakfast, Gu Fei took Gu Yu'an to the company by car.
The company's employees were all stunned, from senior executives to cleaning ladies, all speechless, because their CEO's entrance today was very unusual.
A tall, handsome, mature, and domineering boss, dressed in a bespoke suit, with a cold and ruthless face, held a delicate and adorable child in his arms and carried a Pikachu cartoon backpack with two little ears on his shoulder.
This is such an adorable contrast! Where did this cute little kid come from? When did Master Gu have such a big son? How could Yan Yan even give birth?!
"This is incredible, ladies! A pregnancy story is becoming a reality?!"
"I'm not saying this to be mean, but you guys are way out of touch! Last month, Mr. Gu and Yan Yan adopted a child from an orphanage. I bet this is the little guy!"
"The little one is so cute! I want to pinch their cheeks!"
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! The image of Master Gu holding a child with a cold face and carrying a cartoon backpack is just too funny, hahaha!"
"Boss, your persona has collapsed, hahaha!"
"It's hard to imagine what it's like for Master Gu to take care of a child, hehehe..."
"Why is Mr. Gu like this?" and "The domineering Mr. Gu takes care of the kids online".
As always, Mr. Gu remained calm and composed, ignoring the strange expressions and looks from the passing employees, and carried Gu Yu'an into the president's office, placing him on the sofa.
The little guy sat stiffly, curiously looking around at his surroundings, then stared timidly at his dad with his big eyes, and his dad looked back at him.
For a moment, they stared at each other blankly.
The atmosphere was strangely awkward.
Just then, the secretary knocked and came in.
She was carrying several bags of things, all of which Gu Fei had asked her to buy last night, including various toys and a bunch of children's books. Gu Fei was really thoughtful.
Then, the scene in the office seemed familiar: Gu Fei was sitting in front of the office handling work, while little Gu Yu'an was sitting obediently on the sofa playing with toys and reading books.
Half an hour later, An Qingyan video-called to inquire about the progress of the father and son's relationship. After seeing the scene, she twitched her lips and felt speechless. What was the difference between this and before? It was just that the home had been replaced by the office.
"Mr. Gu, you need to take the initiative to talk to An'an, play games with him or something. You can't keep going like this!" If this continues, they'll become the most familiar strangers.
"Otherwise, you're not allowed to touch me for two weeks!"
Gu Fei: "..."
That's too ruthless.
After hanging up the video call, Master Gu remained silent in his seat for a minute before getting up and walking to Gu Yu'an's side. The little guy immediately stopped what he was doing and timidly called out "Daddy."
Gu Fei raised her hand and patted his head, her lips twitching slightly. She forced a smile and tried to soften her cold tone: "An'an, are you having fun here?"
The air suddenly became quiet.
After a moment of silence, the little one burst into tears, a heart-wrenching wail of grief, "It's not fun, I want to go home, An'an misses Daddy, waaaah..."
Gu Fei strategically took two steps back, frowned in embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, then hugged the little guy tightly, took out a tissue, and wiped the tears from his face while comforting him:
"Okay, stop crying..."
"I can go home to see my dad tonight."
"An'an, be good, don't cry."
It wasn't just Gu Yu'an who missed his father; he also missed his wife. Gu Ye was in a real bind.
In the end, I managed to coax him with a lollipop.
Thinking of An Qingyan's threat, Gu Fei sighed and put down his work. He looked at the little guy, whose eyes were red from crying, as he ate a lollipop. "Daddy will tell you a story. Do you want to hear it?"
Little Gu Yu'an sniffed and nodded.
Gu Fei pulled him onto her lap, picked up a storybook, and began reading aloud in a completely emotionless tone: "One day, a little rabbit was playing with building blocks. The moon saw him and thought, 'I want to play with building blocks too.'"
"The moon jumped down and landed right in the little rabbit's house..."
Gu Yu'an looked up at him expectantly, "Daddy, isn't the moon supposed to hang in the sky and not move? Why did it jump down?"
Gu Fei: "...If I say it can jump, then it can jump. Don't talk, just listen carefully."
Gu Yu'an: "Okay."
The story Daddy told wasn't very interesting, but he had to pretend it was very interesting, otherwise Daddy would be sad, little Gu Yu'an thought thoughtfully.
After telling the story, the father and son played with building blocks and watched cartoons for half an hour. Gu Fei felt that he had already completed his daily tasks. Taking care of the child was too tiring, so he wanted to continue working and relax.
So, Mr. Gu went back to his desk to work, while Gu Yu'an played by himself. Half an hour later, there was another very loud "waaaah!" and the little guy started crying again.
I feel unsafe in unfamiliar places.
Gu Fei tried to coax him again, but this time the lollipop didn't work.
Half an hour later, Gu Yu'an was happily munching on a hamburger. On the coffee table were cola, chicken nuggets, fries, and egg tarts. The little guy's eyes and nose were red from crying, but he still grinned at Gu Fei and said, "Daddy, you eat too!"
Mr. Gu sighed and rubbed his forehead. "You can't tell your father about this, understand?"
Gu Yu'an: "Mmm!"
The little guy insisted on eating these junk foods, crying his eyes out, and there was nothing he could do.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Fei: "Go in."
They initially thought it was an employee, but the person who came in was actually An Qingyan. The two people sitting in front of the coffee table were both stunned. Master Gu's heart skipped a beat, and he thought that something bad was about to happen.
“Yan Yan…”
“Daddy…”
Seeing this, An Qingyan's lips twitched. "Gu Fei, why did you feed An'an KFC?"
Gu Fei: "...It's okay to eat it once in a while."
Gu Yu'an: "Daddy, this tastes so good!"
An Qingyan: "..."
It seems that the relationship between the father and son has indeed improved.
