"But I don't know how to take on this responsibility." Wen Zeli objected.
Lin Yitang clearly sensed the negativity beneath his seemingly normal attitude and smiled brightly as if prepared. "I don't know how to do it either, so let's go learn."
Wen Zeli had never imagined that one day he would be assigned to learn this course. He asked in confusion, "There's this course?"
"Of course." Lin Yitang said affirmatively, "This is a very popular course. Let's sign up for a class tomorrow. I will supervise you."
Wen Zeli smiled falsely, "Actually, I don't think it's necessary..."
Lin Yitang's gaze shifted towards him, with a clear threat in her eyes. Wen Zeli had never been frightened by such an expression that was not even threatening. He just felt that Lin Yitang was cute no matter how he looked at her.
"But I'm very busy every day and may not be able to hold on." Wen Zeli pretended to be distressed.
Lin Yitang had lived with him for so many days, so she knew exactly what he was thinking at the moment. He just wanted to get some good luck from her.
"What do you want?" Lin Yitang asked directly.
Wen Zeli didn't answer directly, but instead talked about something else, "Guaibao is really in love with Wen Hangxing. I'm a little jealous."
Lin Yitang: "That's not how you express your deepest affection, President Wen. Stop pretending to be pathetic. Tell me, what do you want in exchange for my consent?"
"If I agree, would you consider me for developing a relationship?"
Lin Yitang looked at him in surprise. It was impossible to say she hadn't felt the slightest attraction to Wen Zeli, but due to her own restraint, these feelings hadn't truly blossomed. Now, she truly couldn't view this world as a mere model. Furthermore, she was determined to cure Wen Hangxing, so she might stay in this world for a long time. Should she follow her heart?
"Just think about it, just like falling in love." Wen Zeli is indeed a genius in business negotiations. He quickly noticed the hesitation in her heart and took advantage of the opportunity to pursue her.
Lin Yitang had to admit that she was a little moved. It was just a love affair, and it was okay to just talk about it. She convinced herself this way.
"Okay." After careful consideration, she finally gave her answer. "But I have to say one thing. If we discover irreparable problems during our adjustment, we can both ask to break up at any time."
A dark light flashed in Wen Zeli's eyes. He smiled elegantly and acted like a gentleman. "Of course."
Wen Hangxing slept well all night, but because he had been in the rain for so long last night, he felt a little dizzy when he woke up in the morning.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the big bear that he was hugging tightly. After staring at it for a while, he stuffed his furry head into the furry bear's body and rubbed it.
He quickly got up, washed, and was about to leave the room when he felt something was amiss. His gaze fell on the large bear lying on the bed. He turned back, placed the bear neatly on the bed, and tucked the quilt under it. He stood up, surveyed his handiwork with satisfaction, and patted the bear's head before leaving.
As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Wen Zeli eating breakfast alone. Wen Hangxing was used to it. Miss Lin would practice dancing on an empty stomach for a while every morning before eating, so he always had breakfast with Wen Zeli.
Ever since he learned that Wen Zeli wasn't his biological father, Wen Hangxing couldn't seem to utter that word. The proud young man seemed to think that since you don't treat me as your own child, then I won't treat you as my own father either, only then can we be considered equals in power.
But he also selfishly didn't want to reveal that he already knew his background. It seemed that once the truth was revealed, there would be earth-shaking changes in their relationship.
At certain moments, the usually decisive boy is actually a coward.
Finally, Wen Hangxing called out, "Dad."
I thought Wen Zeli would nod to him as usual, but unexpectedly, Wen Zeli put down his knife and fork and replied: "Good morning."
Wen Hangxing looked at the other side in surprise, almost thinking he was hallucinating, "What did you say?"
The butler standing by was also surprised and inexplicably excited.
Wen Zeli had already reached his limit and naturally did not want to dwell on this matter any further. "Let's eat."
But Wen Hangxing soon understood everything. After class, when he went downstairs, he was speechless as he watched Lin Yitong and Wen Zeli huddled together, watching an online class - how to be a parent who can be a friend to their children.
Ms. Lin was serious, taking notes on her phone. His father wasn't quite so serious, though he occasionally scribbled a few words in his book. Wen Hangxing suspected he was trying to please Ms. Lin. After all, his father was an Ivy League graduate, so he certainly had a photographic memory.
"When did you become interested in this course? It looks like it's about online marketing." Wen Hangxing endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help but speak.
"Shen Yan, this is a teacher I spent time looking for online who specializes in explaining how parents should get along with their children. He has a very high rating. You shouldn't make me unhappy here." Lin Yitang said lightly.
The angrier Lin Yitang became, the gentler she became. Wen Hangxing didn't dare to provoke her and quickly stopped what he was about to say.
He turned to Wen Zeli again and said, "How much benefit did you receive from Ms. Lin? You actually left your work to listen to this."
Wen Zeli gently tucked Lin Yitong's drooping hair behind her ears without replying, but the silence at this moment was deafening.
Wen Hangxing understood immediately and exclaimed in amazement: "It's only been one day, and your relationship has developed so quickly? Ms. Lin, you actually let him touch you."
Lin Yitang gave Wen Zeli a warning look, "Wen Zeli, I only agreed to your pursuit, not your love. We are still in the probation period!"
Wen Zeli didn't get angry either. He raised his hands in surrender and said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Wen. I thought it was just a small gesture during the period of ambiguity. I didn't mean to offend you."
Wen Hangxing felt his teeth ache, and shrugged helplessly, "I'm going out to play. You two can stay at home."
After Wen Hangxing finished speaking, he went down to the basement and sped away on his motorcycle.
Lin Yitang and Wen Zeli were the only two people in the living room. Lin Yitang slammed his pen down and said, "It's so painful. I haven't seen so much knowledge in years. I feel like I need to grow a brain."
Wen Zeli doesn’t usually watch short videos, but he is smart after all, so he immediately understood the meaning and chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Yitang stared at him sharply, as if he wanted to see through him. "Are you laughing at me?"
"How dare I, Madam Wen?" Wen Zeli raised his hands above his head in a gesture of surrender, his eyes filled with a smile that seemed to overflow. There was no such coldness and oppression as at the company. It was simply worthless to the extreme.
