Chapter 26: What a Bewildered New Dad
Outside the car window, the sun is setting.
The golden light sprayed on the staggered high-rise buildings, and the finished buildings with warm yellow coating kept receding.
Thinking about the fact that he had won the special prize this afternoon, Jiang Yan felt a little eager.
I want to share it with my dad.
I also hope that their father can go with them to take parent-child photos.
The little hand fumbled with the bear pocket of the overalls and took out the white ball with the word "Special Prize" written on it.
Put your hands together and roll it around in your palms.
The first time Jiang Yan won the jackpot, he asked his mother if he could buy the ball as a souvenir. Unexpectedly, the store clerk heard it and gave it to him directly.
The small ball turned over and over in his palm, just like his hesitant heart.
Jiang Yan played for a while, but still didn't have the courage to speak.
So he put down the ball and started counting on his fingers.
Dad will agree, Dad won’t agree, Dad will agree, Dad won’t agree…
Count to the last of your ten fingers.
Dad won't agree.
Jiang Yan: “???!”
Jiang Yan frowned and stared at the raised thumb on his right hand with a look of disbelief.
He must have counted wrong, try again.
-
If other people's children are quiet, they must be up to something.
But Jiang Yan was quiet, probably sleeping.
There was no movement for such a long time after getting in the car, Xu Wanci seriously suspected that he had fallen asleep again.
Tilting her head, she curiously looked back from her left side.
I noticed that Jiang Yan's face was tense, he was counting his fingers with a serious expression, and he was mumbling something.
Xu Wanci caught a glimpse of the small white ball in his arms and understood.
He probably wanted to share the news of his winning the prize with Jiang Yunyu.
Jiang Yan has been in the Jiang family for less than a year, and Jiang Yunyu is so busy, so it is usually Aunt Liu who takes care of him and spends more time with him.
If you calculate carefully, maybe even she, a latecomer, has spent more time with Jiang Yan than the father and son have.
That's why I'm so shy to express myself.
Thinking of this, Xu Wanci felt his heart aching.
There is no little kid who doesn't long to be close to his parents and receive their love.
Even though she was an orphan in her childhood, she was not immune to this.
She dreamed that her parents would change their minds and take her home.
Xu Wanci withdrew his gaze and met the man's silent, inquiring gaze as he passed by him, without saying a word.
After thinking it over in her mind, she turned her head to look at him with a sweet smile.
Her red lips parted slightly, her tone rose, and she called out in a roundabout way, "Husband~"
The man's big hands gripping the steering wheel suddenly tightened.
There was no ripple on his face.
"Our Yanyan did something big today. Guess what it was."
As she spoke, Xu Wanci blinked her almond eyes at Jiang Yunyu, hoping that he could understand her hint.
Fortunately, men's IQ is online.
Jiang Yunyu raised his eyes and looked through the rearview mirror at Jiang Yan, whose face was blushing because of Xu Wanci's words. With the accuracy of an eagle, he caught sight of the small white ball with the word "特" on it in his arms.
Look away.
He pondered for a few seconds, casually gave a few answers, and after Xu Wanci denied them one by one, he spoke as if admitting defeat.
"I can't guess. Can Xiaoyan tell Dad?"
Jiang Yan's eyes sparkled as he said crisply, "I was shopping for clothes with my mom today, and I won the special prize in the store!"
To prove that he was not lying, he held the lottery ball in his little hand and pushed it forward so that his father could see it clearly.
It happened to be the time to wait for the red light to turn green.
Jiang Yunyu turned his head and lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on the lottery ball in the little hand, then moved up and stopped at Jiang Yan's face which was faintly filled with anticipation.
There are really limited words to use to coax children.
The momentum of being decisive and uncompromising in the business world has now weakened and is no longer as easy as before.
The man thought for a while and uttered four dry words, "So amazing."
It sounds like there's some emotion, but not much.
What a helpless new dad! Xu Wanci couldn't hold back his laughter, and his thin shoulders trembled slightly.
The next second, he met Jiang Yunyu's deep eyes that were filled with helplessness.
For some reason, Xu Wanci seemed to see three letters engraved inside: SOS.
Help.
Xu Wanci understood what he meant.
Throwing a look at Jiang Yunyu to see her performance, she agreed,
"Of course, the clerk said there's only one grand prize, and our kid won it. That's awesome!"
"quick."
Xu Wanci spread his five fingers and made a grabbing gesture, "Let me absorb the little koi's luck!"
Jiang Yan was amused by her appearance and giggled, and stretched out his little hands to let his mother "take them crazily".
The car was immediately filled with laughter.
Jiang Yunyu looked at them playing and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Gradually, his gaze shifted to Xu Wanci's face.
The woman's almond-shaped eyes curved into crescent shapes as she smiled, and the brown teardrop mole at the end of her eye trembled slightly with her laughter, sparkling and charming.
His heartbeat quickened slightly, and Jiang Yunyu's Adam's apple rolled half an inch unconsciously.
It felt like being gently scratched by the swaying fur of a cat's tail.
It seems not bad to keep living like this.
The red light is about to turn green.
Jiang Yunyu sat up straight again, and the laughter beside him gradually subsided.
He continued the conversation, trying to make amends, "What's the grand prize?"
"Parent-child photo!"
Jiang Yan paused, then added hesitantly, "Dad, can you take a photo with us?"
Ga.
Xu Wanci restrained his smile.
I almost forgot about this.
If she were to say, for something as meaningful as a family portrait, Jiang Yunyu would probably prefer to take one with Jiang Yan's biological mother, his white moonlight.
"Well, wait a few days."
The man's voice was calm, without much emotion.
Huh?
Without hesitation, he agreed so readily?!
-
After returning to the villa that day, none of the three mentioned the photo shoot again.
Jiang Yan thought that his father had already promised him and would make arrangements.
Xu Wanci didn't dare to say a word.
After all, whether to shoot or not does not depend on her, but on Jiang Yunyu.
As for Jiang Yunyu himself,
After going to work the next morning, he never returned to Ziyu Manor. I guess his consent in the car was just a temporary measure to coax the child.
Come to think of it, how could her stepmother get something that her biological mother doesn't have first?
When Jiang Yan asks about it, he will have this tall guy of about 180 to support him.
The fire shouldn't burn her.
Xu·Xianyu·Late farewell has already begun.
So for the next few days, I just ate and drank as usual and didn't take this matter to heart.
Little did they know that the small group of mice working in the president's office was in an uproar.
[Secretary Zhang]: Mr. Jiang has been working overtime for two consecutive days to review documents, and it’s still the familiar formula.
Secretary Guan: It's just to clear Thursday, so who is Mr. Jiang going to meet? Who is there? [Haha, I'm crazy]
Assistant Zhou: 0.o
Assistant Zhou: Private itinerary, Ms. Jiang and I talked about it [strong]
…
finally,
The man who had been missing for two days and three nights suddenly returned on Thursday morning.
At that time, Xu Wanci was still lying on the bed and snoring. Half asleep and half awake, he heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
