Having completed the system task, Shen Yu Nan owns a three-story villa in a prime location, complete with a large garden. A car worth around three million is parked in the garden, and he also has ten million RB in cash in his bank account.
For Shen Yu'nan, having a child meant he could no longer share an apartment with his friend Ji Congyan. However, he wasn't used to the luxury villa and the million-dollar car. So, after careful consideration, he bought a small two-bedroom apartment near Diana and a relatively inexpensive car while waiting for his child to arrive.
Ten million in cash is a lot, but it's not a lot either. Pei Wu and Shen Yu Nan live in a bustling metropolis that ranks among the top in the country, and housing prices are not cheap. Even for a small apartment, this amount of money has almost been used up.
However, compared to before, his life has undergone a qualitative leap.
Considering the baby sitting in the back seat, Shen Yu'nan didn't drive fast. He would occasionally glance at the baby in the mirror. The little one was very well-behaved, sitting quietly without crying or fussing. There seemed to be a light in his eyes as he looked out the window, and Shen Yu'nan could clearly feel his curiosity about the outside world.
Seemingly sensing Shen Yu Nan's gaze, the little guy turned to look at him.
"Hmm? What's wrong with Dad?"
“…” Shen Yu Nan shook his head, and after a long while asked, “From now on, I’ll call you… Niannian.”
"Was 'Niannian' the name my father gave me?"
"Hmm." Shen Yu'nan nodded, his grip on the steering wheel tightening even more. "Pei Nian, do you like this name?"
"I like it! But why is it Pei Nian...? Isn't Dad's surname Chen?"
"Your mother's surname is Pei."
"Oh, I see." Pei Nian was still young and naturally couldn't understand the complex expression on Shen Yu Nan's face at that moment.
Shen Yu'nan didn't take the little guy home directly. Instead, he took him to a shopping mall near the newly purchased house. He wanted to buy the little guy some clothes and daily necessities that fit him.
The last time he came to the mall to buy children's clothes and supplies, he was with Pei Wu. Looking at the dazzling array of children's clothing, Shen Yu Nan was stunned for a long time.
Pei Nian's appearance is eight or nine parts similar to Pei Wu's. Even in ill-fitting clothes, he stands out among the children.
Perhaps wanting to make up for his childhood regrets, Shen Yu'nan bought Pei Nian many clothes, daily necessities and toys, things he had never had because of his gender and family background.
After changing into clothes that fit him well, Pei Nian looked even more adorable. His dark hair was slightly curled. Perhaps because he had just spent time with Shen Yu Nan, he seemed a little reserved. He held Shen Yu Nan's hand with his chubby little hand and walked obediently beside Shen Yu Nan. He looked at the shopping bags that Shen Yu Nan was carrying and said, "Dad, let me carry two for you. Don't underestimate me just because I'm young. I'm very strong."
"Ahem..." Shen Yu'nan glanced at him, her expression softening, but she simply reached out and ruffled his soft hair. She said, "No need."
In most shopping malls, the floor where children's clothing is sold also has many places suitable for children to play.
For example, the racetrack in the center of this floor features go-karts driven by children.
Pei Nian, who was already full of curiosity about the world, instinctively squeezed Shen Yu Nan's hand when he saw the car that his peers were playing with. He didn't say anything.
Shen Yu Nan was most adept at observing people's words and expressions.
This petty person naturally couldn't escape Shen Yu Nan's scrutinizing gaze.
Want to play?
"..." Pei Nian looked up at Shen Yu Nan and asked, "Is it okay?"
"Why not?"
"Thank you, Dad!"
Having received permission, Pei Nian's smile deepened. He released Shen Yu Nan's hand and jogged towards the go-karts. When he arrived, he stopped and looked back at Shen Yu Nan, his face full of innocent smiles.
Pei Nian was very clever. As soon as he got in the car, he only stumbled twice and crashed the car into the wall, but he still drove very well.
Pei Nian, wearing a helmet and looking serious, made Shen Yu Nan think he looked more like Pei Wu.
Soon, Shen Yu Nan took Pei Nian back to his newly purchased house.
The house is very close to Diana, and also very close to the marital home he and Pei Wu had when they got married. You can see Diana's building from the balcony.
The house isn't big, just two bedrooms, about 100 square meters. It's fully equipped, and while the decor isn't luxurious, it's still quite nice. It's decorated in the black, white, and gray style that Shen Yu Nan likes. It's obvious that Shen Yu Nan hasn't lived in this house yet, because houses you've lived in usually have a sense of everyday life about them, but this house doesn't.
The house has two rooms. One room has a double bed, and the other room, which is relatively small, has a tatami design. This room is also prepared for Pei Nian. Shen Yu Nan took out the newly purchased slippers from the bag and gave them to Pei Nian to change into.
"Thank you, Dad."
After spending the whole day together, Pei Nian was finally less awkward than when they first met. He took the cartoon slippers from Shen Yu Nan and gave Shen Yu Nan a big kiss on the cheek.
Shen Yunan was stunned by the wetness on his cheek. After regaining his senses, he reached out and touched Pei Nian's soft hair.
Pei Nian is very well-behaved.
He would hand over each of Shen Yunan's newly bought clothes one by one as he put them in the washing machine. He would help Shen Yunan stuff the pillow stuffer into the pillowcase while Shen Yunan was making the bed. He would say "Goodnight, Dad" to Shen Yunan as he pulled the covers up, turned off the light, and prepared to leave.
"good evening."
Because Shen Yu'nan has many things on his mind lately, he hasn't been able to sleep well during this period.
After settling Pei Nian in, Shen Yu Nan stood on the balcony for a long time. Even at this hour, the Diana building was still brightly lit.
"Cough cough..."
The room was warm, so Shen Yu'nan was only wearing a black loungewear set. His gaze was fixed on the Diana building not far away.
'Everything is ready now, except for the east wind...'
Shen Yunan took a sip of water from his glass.
The next day, Shen Yu'nan appeared at a private clinic.
The doctor in this clinic is the same Dr. Zhang who was on the business card Pei Wu gave Shen Yu Nan when he was at Diana last time.
Shen Yu-Nan had already met Dr. Zhang, who was the private doctor of the Pei family's daughter, when he was working as her secretary. So even though Shen Yu-Nan didn't have the business card at the moment, he knew where Dr. Zhang was located.
Dr. Zhang knows Shen Yu Nan, and Pei Wu had previously spoken to her, asking her to take extra care of her if her former secretary came to see a doctor, and to cover all the expenses.
But today, Shen Yu Nan came with Pei Nian.
When Dr. Zhang saw the child who looked exactly like Pei Wu, his expression instantly darkened.
