After all, Little Treasure had acknowledged Gu Jinshen as his father since he was young. Three years of companionship and care was a position that no one could shake.
That night, Xu Wanwan took the time to call Gu Jinshen.
Xu Yanzhi was already asleep beside her. He looked exceptionally well-behaved.
When she heard the voice of a man on the other end of the phone, Xu Wanwan got up and walked to the window. “Jinshen, Yanzhi and I are doing very well.”
“When do you plan to come back?”
Xu Wanwan listened to the unusually low voice on the other end of the phone and said slowly, “Maybe… it will take some time.”
Gu Jin was silent for a long time.
“Are you still listening?”Xu Wanwan asked tentatively.
“Yes.”
“Don’t worry, Xiao Bao and I will be fine here. I will bring him back in a month.”
Gu Jinshen had been by Xu Wanwan’s side for so long that he could naturally guess what she was doing. “Why a month?”
Xu Wanwan turned around to look at the sleeping little guy and sat on the sofa, “Li Jingran knows that Yan Zhi is his child. I made a deal with him for a month. If Yan Zhi is willing to acknowledge him as his father after a month, then Yan Zhi will stay.”
“If Yan Zhi and Li Jingran can’t develop a relationship after a month, then I will naturally bring him back to China.”
The Man on the other end of the phone tightened his voice, and his tone was even more sour. “You let Yan Zhi stay with his biological father for a month. Do you think he will come back with you?”
“Why not?”
Xu Wanwan said, “You’ve been with Yan Zhi for three years. He already thinks that you’re his father. Li Jingran missed the three years of his child. With just a short relationship and being around, will he develop a relationship with you?”
Gu Jingran chuckled. There was a hint of bitterness in his laughter. “Yan Zhi won’t be moved by True Feelings. What About You?”
“Jingran, you’re worrying too much.”Xu Wanwan understood what he meant. “Li Jingran and I have missed each other for so many years. How can we return to the past in just a month’s time?”
“I know very well in my heart that you’ve been with me for the past three years. You’ve been taking care of Yan Zhi. I Won’t abandon the company that we’ve worked for together. No matter what happens in this month, I’ll bring Yan Zhi back.”
Xu Wanwan never made empty promises, but Gu Jingran knew this very well.
Hearing her solemn promise, his heart relaxed a little. After a moment, he made a decision. “When I’m done with my work in the next few days, I’ll come and look for you.”
“Then what about the work?”
Gu Jingran said calmly, “We’ve been busy for three whole years. It’s time to take a break. Leave the work of the company to your subordinates.”
Xu Wanwan was stunned. “That’s good too. Yanzhi just missed you.”
If Gu Jinshen had stayed, Yanzhi would not have acknowledged Li Jingran as his father.
After hanging up, Xu Wanwan looked out the window at the heavy night sky and let out a sigh.
It was only a month’s time.
—
Early in the morning, when the servants had just started working, Xu Wanwan had already prepared a large table of breakfast.
It was a rare break, but she lost the mood to sleep in. Thinking of the fact that she had never cooked breakfast for Xu Yanzhi before, she simply got up early to work.
When she carried the last dish out of the kitchen, the floor-to-ceiling window reflected a large amount of light on the man sitting opposite the dining table.
Li Jingran appeared out of nowhere. His slender fingers pinched the ends of the newspaper. He was dressed in black casual clothes, which outlined the perfect figure of a man. The man exuded masculinity and a bit of wildness.
Xu Wanwan was slightly stunned. She had never seen Li Jingran in casual clothes before.
She gently placed the vegetables on the table. “It’s time to eat.”
Li Jingran put down the newspaper and slowly raised his eyes. “I told you, there are servants in the Li family. You Don’t have to do these things.”
Xu Wanwan sat opposite him. When she heard the familiar words, her hand that was holding the spoon paused.
This scene was just like three years ago.
When she first came to the Li family, she always cooked for him in order to please him.
The past was still vivid in her mind, like scenes from a movie.
Xu Wanwan lowered her head and chuckled. “You’re mistaken. I rarely cook these few years. It’s rare for me to take a break, so I want to cook for Yanzhi personally.”
“Mommy!”
Speak of the Devil.
With the assistance of Aunt Zhang, Xu Yanzhi had already packed up and went downstairs. He ran quickly towards Xu Wanwan.
“Good morning, Mommy! Good morning, uncle Li!”
The Little Guy was energetic and energetic. He was so cute that people wanted to pinch his face.
Xu Wanwan filled his small bowl with porridge. “Let’s eat breakfast.”
Xu Yanzhi had never been picky about food since he was young. Even though it was different from the milk and bread he had eaten overseas, he still enjoyed it very much.
Xu Wanwan’s appetite was not as good as his. After eating, she propped up her chin and looked at him. There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were filled with satisfaction.
Li Jingran looked at this scene and could not help but think of the past. Every time Xu Wanwan finished cooking, she would look at him in the same way.
Time could make people change, but she did not seem to have changed much. She still loved to smile as much as before.
“Mommy, when can we go back?”
Xu Wanwan put some food in his bowl and coaxed him with a smile. “Uncle Li is very lonely here alone. Can we accompany him for a few more days?”
Deep down, Xu Yanzhi didn’t want to stay here, but he was a kind child. He was only disappointed for a moment when he heard this.
“Alright then, I’ll listen to Mommy.”
Li Jingran saw this scene. The woman and child in front of him were smiling, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curved upwards.
In the following days, Xu Yanzhi seemed to have accepted reality. He stayed at the Li family’s house every day to play with his toys. Sometimes, he would even let the Li family’s servants accompany him to play.
Xu Wanwan saw that he had adapted to this kind of life, and the worry in her heart gradually lessened. She began to deal with her work overseas.
Xu Yanzhi stayed at home and played with his toys for a few days. He was really bored, so he could only find Li Jingran and the door of the study. “Uncle Li.”
Li Jingran was in the study dealing with official business. When he saw the little guy standing at the door from afar, he said without changing his expression, “Come in.”
Xu Yanzhi obediently walked to the man and curled the corners of his lips.
Li Jingran looked at him indifferently. “What’s Wrong?”
“You left me and Mommy Here and didn’t play with me. There’s no meaning at all.”
Xu Yanzhi said gloomily, “Mommy calls a lot of people every day and works on the computer. It’s the same for you. You guys don’t care about me. I’m so bored!”
Li Jingran put down the work in his hands and pursed his thin lips. “Do you want to go out and play?”
Xu Yanzhi nodded solemnly. “Yes! I heard from mommy that everything here is different, but I’ve never been anywhere before. I want to go and see it too.”
“You can go and play if you want, but you have to agree to one request of mine,”Li Jingran guided him step by step.
“What request?”
Li Jingran’s tone was indifferent. “Call me instead.”
