Chapter 1100 Meeting Two Fathers on the Weekend
Yi Haoqian just thought about it and didn't dare to actually take action.
He knew the importance of this job to Lin Yuchen and would not ruin Lin Yuchen's career for his own selfish desires.
Yi Haoqian rubbed against Lin Yuchen and hugged him: "Wife, I will support your career. If this job puts too much pressure on you, why not go out and do it on your own."
"My family situation is a bit complicated. When you meet both of my fathers this weekend, you'll understand why I care so much about this job."
Lin Yuchen lay on the pillow, surrounded by familiar breath and smell, and he closed his eyes peacefully.
He hadn't had a good night's sleep since breaking up with Yi Haoqian. Today, the misunderstanding was resolved, the depression in his heart dissipated, and he felt much more relaxed.
He leaned on Yi Haoqian's shoulder and soon fell asleep.
Yi Haoqian gently embraced Lin Yuchen in his arms, listened to his even breathing and closed his eyes.

In the garden late at night, two figures, one big and one small, were moving back and forth among the bushes.
Yu Ranxing made a shushing gesture to the people around him: "Little Bell, be quieter, I saw fireflies."
The little girl deliberately lowered her voice: "Then can we catch fireflies?"
"That must be possible!"
Yu Ranxing followed the light spots floating in the air with his eyes. When the light spots landed on the leaves, he quietly leaned over, put his hands together to form an airtight shield, and covered it from top to bottom, locking the firefly in his palms.
"Got it!"
Little Bell cheered: "Wow! That's great! Brother Ran Xing is awesome!"
Yu Ranxing turned around and smiled at her complacently: "Give me the bottle."
Xiao Lingling handed the glass bottle in her hand over, and Yu Ranxing put the fireflies in her palm into the glass bottle.
The bright light is locked in the glass, like a guiding light at night, twinkling like stars in the sky.
Little Bell held the glass bottle, her eyes full of smiles in the light: "It's so bright!"
"Why are there fireflies in your garden, but not in mine?"
Yu Ranxing fiddled with the grass: "Is this the only one?"
Xiao Lingling was focused on the firefly in her hand and didn't notice Yu Ranxing walking to the side of the pond.
The night was very dark, and the leaves in the surrounding forest were dim and shadowy.
Yu Ranxing was so focused on looking for fireflies that he didn't pay attention to where he was standing.
He stepped over, stepped on the moss at the edge of the pond, slipped and fell into the pond.
"save……"
Yu Ranxing only shouted one word before his body began to sink into the water, and his voice was drowned out.
When Xiao Lingling heard the sound of falling water, she quickly ran to the edge of the pond: "Brother Ran Xing!"
She anxiously wandered around the shore, but she was small and couldn't swim, so she couldn't go down to save people.
Little Bell started shouting, "Hurry up! Brother Ran Xing fell into the pond."
A figure came running over quickly. Before Xiao Lingling could see who it was, the person had already jumped into the pond.
He swam quickly towards the place where Yu Ranxing fell into the water, and embraced the sinking person with his strong arms.
Yu Ranxing was drowned and couldn't open his eyes. He choked on the water and kept sinking.
Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed his body and pulled him out of the water steadily.
The instinct for survival made him subconsciously hug the person next to him, and he wrapped his hands and feet around him.
The waves were getting farther and farther away from him, the cold wind fell on his skin, and he began to shiver all over.
Yu Ranxing coughed and trembled, choking on several mouthfuls of water. His head ached, his eyes were sore, and he hunched over in confusion and embarrassment.
The hot body leaned over and dispelled the coldness in the body.
Warm fingers brushed away the hair stuck to my forehead, and a gentle voice lingered in my ears: "Are you feeling better? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Yu Ranxing raised his head in a trance, and a familiar face appeared in his blurry vision, but there was an unfamiliar gentleness on that face.
He blinked, and the water droplets on his eyelashes fell off, and his vision became clearer.
He was not mistaken, the person in front of him was Zhuo Sheng.
But today Zhuo Sheng's expression was obviously wrong, he was too gentle, not the cold man he knew before.
Yu Ranxing awkwardly averted her gaze and tried to break free from his arms: "I'm fine!"
Zhuo Sheng did not let go of his hand and stubbornly helped him up.
"Your clothes are wet, go back to the main house first."
Xiao Lingdang also said: "Brother Ran Xing, how are you?"
Seeing that she was about to cry, Yu Ranxing smiled soothingly: "Don't worry, little Lingling, brother is fine."
Little Bell's eyes were red. "It's all my fault. I asked Brother Ran Xing to catch fireflies."
"You knew there was a pond here. You should have warned him."
Zhuo Sheng’s accountability made Xiao Lingling even more sad. She lowered her head, her small body filled with guilt.
Yu Ranxing pushed Zhuo Sheng away: "This has nothing to do with Xiao Lingdang, why are you blaming her?"
"Little Bell, let's go back!"
Yu Ranxing walked over and wanted to hold Xiao Lingling's hand, but a pair of hands grabbed his waist first. His back instantly sank into the broad chest, and his feet also left the ground.
Before Yu Ranxing could react, he was turned over and fell easily into Zhuo Sheng's arms.
"Put me down!"
He shouted out of control, but Zhuo Sheng's arms were so strong that he couldn't break free, and was held firmly by the man and walked forward.
"Zhuo Sheng!"
Yu Ranxing shouted, her voice trembling like a red rose in the night wind.
Zhuo Sheng tightened his arms again, wishing he could rub his wet little body into his bones and blood.
Yu Ranxing was frightened by his sudden increase in strength and looked up at him with wide eyes.
The scattered moonlight cast a shadow on his face, illuminating his taut jawline and saturating it with a watery glow. His protruding Adam's apple rolled slightly, as if trying to suppress some emotion about to burst forth.
Yu Ranxing was frightened by his expression. After looking away, her confused eyes swept across the plants and trees in the garden.
Xiao Lingling ran behind Zhuo Sheng, but her short legs couldn't keep up with Zhuo Sheng's pace and she was soon left far behind.
"Brother, walk slower!"
Xiao Lingling protested from behind, Zhuo Sheng heard it but didn't want to pay attention to her.
The little girl is wild and crazy, she needs to be taught a lesson.
The housekeeper, who heard the noise, met them halfway with his men. Seeing Zhuo Sheng holding Yu Ranxing, both of them soaking wet, he immediately ran up and asked, "Master, what happened between you and Master Ranxing?"
"Ran Ran fell into the water. Let's run a bath and make ginger soup."
Zhuo Sheng kept walking, and gave orders as he stepped forward with his long legs.
The servant immediately returned home to prepare hot water and ginger soup.
The housekeeper met Xiao Lingdang who was chasing him, and heard the whole story from Xiao Lingdang.
Yu Ranxing can't swim, and if Zhuo Sheng hadn't appeared in time, something really would have happened today.
The housekeeper broke out in a cold sweat, thankful that Zhuo Sheng showed up in time.
Yu Nian was chatting with Zhuo Lie in the living room when he saw Zhuo Sheng hurried back carrying Yu Ranxing. They were both soaked. He opened his mouth to ask, but Zhuo Sheng spoke up, "Uncle Yu, Ranran fell into the water. I'm afraid he might catch a cold. Let him take a hot bath first."
Before he could finish his words, he had already stepped onto the stairs.
Yu Nian pondered over it and always felt that something was not right.
Zhuo Sheng’s attitude towards Yu Ranxing... is a bit intriguing.
He knew that Yu Ranxing liked Zhuo Sheng, but his son was just one-sided and Zhuo Sheng did not respond at all.
But today it seems that things are different from what he imagined.
Little Bell ran into the living room and ran to Zhuo Lie: "Dad!"
She pouted and lowered her head to admit her mistake: "It's Xiao Lingling's fault. Brother Ran Xing fell into the pond while trying to catch fireflies for me."
Zhuo Lie frowned: "You are familiar with your home and know that the pond is dangerous, so why did you bring Ran Xing to the pond?"
Xiao Lingling lowered her head even more, she was so guilty that she couldn't speak.
Yu Nian took Xiao Lingdang's hand and brought the little girl to his side: "Zhuo Lie, don't talk about her. Xiao Lingdang is five years old, and Ran Xing is twenty-five years old. How can you let a child take care of him?"
Zhuo Lie: "Ran Xing can't swim, and the pond is quite deep. He almost got into trouble today."
"Today was an accident, but nothing serious happened."
Seeing that it was quite late, Yu Nian said, "We'll go back after Ran Xing finishes his shower."
Little Lingdang tugged at Yu Nian's clothes and said, "Uncle Yu, can you let Brother Ran Xing stay with Little Lingdang?"
Yu Nian: "How about asking him to come back tomorrow?"
"But Brother Ran Xing promised to tell Xiao Lingdang a story, and he also said that he would accompany Xiao Lingdang to the stables to choose a pony tomorrow."
Little Bell didn't want Yu Ranxing to leave. "Did I cause Brother Ranxing to fall into the pond? That's why Uncle Yu won't let him play with me?"
"That's not true!" Yu Nian touched her hair and said, "Little Bell is so cute, no one would dislike playing with you."
"My brother doesn't like to play with me. He's so fierce."
Xiao Lingling is quite afraid of Zhuo Sheng, and she usually hides when Zhuo Sheng is at home.
Her father kept pestering her father all day long, and she couldn't get him away from her, so she had to stay in the room alone, feeling very lonely.
Only when Yu Ranxing came could she find a brief moment of happiness.
"Uncle Yu, let Brother Ran Xing accompany me!"
Xiao Lingling looked so pitiful that Yu Nian couldn't refuse.
At Yu Ranxing’s age, Yu Nian would no longer interfere in his private affairs and planned to leave first, letting Yu Ranxing decide for himself whether to stay or not.
After Yu Nian left, Xiao Lingling ran upstairs and knocked on the door.
She went there bravely. Usually, she was very careful even when passing by Zhuo Sheng's room.
Zhuo Sheng had just returned from the guest room bathroom, holding clothes prepared for Yu Ranxing.
He stood at the door, his eyes cold and indifferent: "What's the matter?"
Little Bell stood on tiptoe and looked around: "Has Brother Ran Xing finished taking a bath?"
"No."
Zhuo Sheng was about to close the door when Xiao Lingling quickly held the door open with her little hand.
"Brother Ran Xing said he would stay with me tonight, so I'll wait for him in my room."
Little Bell smiled with her eyes curved, and said boastfully, "Brother Ran Xing is mine tonight."
After leaving these words, she walked away with her head held high.
Zhuo Sheng stood at the door for a few seconds, then raised his hand to close the door.
Click!
He locked the door from the inside.
After taking a shower, Yu Ranxing realized he had no change of clothes, so he walked to the door and asked, "Is there anyone outside?"
There was a knock on the bathroom door.
Realizing that there was someone outside, Yu Ranxing opened the door a crack and asked, "Could you please get me some clothes?"
The person outside the door suddenly pushed it open.
Yu Ranxing was completely defenseless and was exposed to the man's sight.
