Shen Yu'nan took Pei Nian home.
Throughout the journey, Shen Yu Nan held Pei Nian's hand but remained silent, not uttering a word. However, while waiting at a red light, he subconsciously turned back to look at the Diana Building.
It wasn't until they got home that Pei Nian asked Shen Yu Nan softly, "Dad...did I do something wrong?"
"Cough cough..."
Because Shen Yuhuan gave his coat to Pei Nian, his cough worsened due to the wind. Pei Nian initially refused Shen Yuhuan's coat, but Shen Yuhuan insisted.
Although their residential complex was just across the street from the Diana building, Shen Yunan was still caught in the wind, and his cough was noticeably worse than it had been the previous two days.
Seeing that Shen Yunan was coughing, Pei Nian thoughtfully poured him a glass of water from the water dispenser.
“…” Shen Yu Nan shook his head, “You’ve done me a huge favor.”
"Really?"
"Hmm." Shen Yu'nan nodded and glanced in the direction of the door.
He knew that what he had just said to Pei Wu was enough to make her think deeply.
'However, that blockhead...can she even understand what I mean...after all, she's rather dense in some ways.'
"Cough cough..." Shen Yu Nan covered his mouth.
'And... just now... we were just sitting facing each other...' Thinking of this, Shen Yu'nan's ears turned slightly red.
Just now, when Shen Yu'nan was sitting opposite Pei Wu, he could already smell the subtle fragrance emanating from her. It wasn't the smell of shower gel or shampoo... but the scent of hormones that he was all too familiar with.
Shen Yu Nan's body is different from Shao Sang's robot body. Shao Sang can only sense Pei Wu's hormones through the chip behind her neck, while Shen Yu Nan is made of flesh and blood, and his body can clearly sense the scent of Pei Wu's hormones.
Even the slightest whiff of the scent in the air was enough to make his breath catch in his throat.
Shen Yu Nan's body had been lying in the research institute for a year and a half. Not only had there been no intimate contact between men and women, but there hadn't even been any timely injections of inhibitors. Moreover, Shen Yu Nan's body had once belonged to Pei Wu.
"Ahem..." Shen Yu Nan paused for a moment before continuing, "However, you can't do that thing again, like running away from kindergarten. It's dangerous." As he spoke, Shen Yu Nan lightly tapped Pei Nian's forehead a few times with his knuckles.
Pei Nian winced and rubbed his head, replying, "Yes... I won't do it again next time... But, Dad, will Mom come with us to the kindergarten activities?"
"..." Shen Yu'nan's eyelashes trembled slightly before she said, "I...don't know either."
Pei Nian subconsciously pursed his lips upon hearing Shen Yu Nan's words.
After looking at Pei Nian's dejected face, Shen Yu Nan said, "Probably."
"Really?" Pei Nian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked up at Shen Yu Nan.
"..." Shen Yu'nan was silent for a moment before asking, "You...you really want her to go?"
"Yes, if she goes there, Dad will be happy, and if Dad is happy, I will be happy."
"......"
The Pei Nian before him was merely a pawn used by Shen Yu Nan to get close to Pei Wu. However, Pei Nian's pure and innocent heart moved him. He reached out and stroked Pei Nian's chubby cheek. Perhaps having such a son wouldn't be bad.
Shen Yu'nan lacked love. No one had ever truly cared about him since he was a child, nor had anyone ever truly put themselves in his shoes to consider his needs. Apart from Pei Wu and his best friend, the only person who had ever been so kind to him was this chubby 'son' in front of him.
Shen Yu Nan pulled Pei Nian into his arms. The little guy had a faint fragrance on him, which was probably the scent of the children's bath wash that Shen Yu Nan had bought for him.
The incredibly realistic baby skin is so soft and smooth, and it feels warm and cozy to hold in your arms.

On her way to Shen Yu Nan's residence, Pei Wu was filled with doubts, her heart pounding as if it were about to leap out of her throat. Fortunately, Shen Yu Nan's current residence was only across the street from Diana's.
Diana is located in the most prosperous area of the city, so the surrounding residences are also quite expensive.
Pei Wu remembered that Shen Yu Nan used to share an apartment with a friend, and the place they lived in was in a relatively remote, newly developed city. In her memory, Shen Yu Nan had always lived frugally, but now he lived in an upscale neighborhood.
The security system in the upscale residential community was also strict, and Pei Wu, who was not a resident of the community, was stopped by the security guard. The security personnel told Pei Wu that they needed to contact the owner before they could let her in. This scene reminded Pei Wu of the scene when she first entered the game and went to Shen Yu Nan's shared apartment.
Pei Wu stared blankly at the security guard who was speaking to her. After a moment of daze, she seemed to come back to her senses and replied, "Okay."
Pei Wu, with her exceptional memory, had clearly memorized the contact number on that piece of paper.
The familiar scene made Pei Wu purse her lips again, and her hand quickly pressed the contact number she had memorized.
'beep...'
'Beep beep...'
'Beep beep. Beep...'
"Hello."
The phone rang for a while before it was answered, and Pei Wu loosened her grip on the phone slightly after it connected.
"....."
Hearing Shen Yunan's slightly hoarse voice, Pei Wu's throat bobbed slightly, "It's me."
"Yes, I know."
He already knew Pei Wu's number by heart.
Although Shen Yu Nan only responded softly, his heart was pounding wildly.
"I was at the entrance of the residential area, but they wouldn't let me in."
"..." Shen Yu Nan was completely silent. Pei Wu could almost hear him swallowing. After a second or two, he continued, "Give them the phone."
"Um."
Pei Wu handed her phone to the security personnel, who then allowed her to pass after communicating with Shen Yu Nan.
Shen Yu Nan lived on the seventh floor. Pei Wu took the elevator up. When the elevator doors slowly opened, Pei Wu saw Shen Yu Nan standing there pressing the elevator button for her. She could even feel the bubbling heat coming from inside the open door.
Shen Yu Nan looked like he had just taken a shower; his dark hair was still dripping with water, his cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were slightly red and even looked a bit wet after his shower.
Pei Wu glanced at the other person's appearance but subconsciously shifted her gaze.
Unconsciously, she recalled visiting Shen Yu Nan when she first entered the game. He had stood at the elevator entrance with a polite but distant smile, seemingly addressing her as "President Pei." But back then, Pei Wu, who possessed the system, deeply felt his disgust towards her.
"Cough cough..."
Shen Yu Nan's eyes were slightly red as he looked at Pei Wu, his brows furrowing slightly as he coughed. Perhaps because he had just taken a shower, Shen Yu Nan looked rather sensual at the moment.
"..." Hearing Shen Yunan cough, Pei Wu frowned slightly and asked, "May I come in?"
"Mm." Shen Yu'nan nodded.
