CHAPTER 926: CHAPTER 70

Chapter 70

Hearing a knock on the door, she went up and opened it.

The little one stood at the door in a tiny suit, miserably pouting, looking like he was about to cry but didn’t dare to.

Yan Yuan, overwhelmed with maternal love, squatted down, took the little one’s hand and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Dad doesn’t want me anymore. Sister, can I sleep with you tonight?" The little guy whimpered, tears seeming ready to fall any second.

Seeing the child so adorable, Yan Yuan couldn’t refuse.

"Come in, I just don’t know how to take care of you."

Bai Ji walked up to Yan Yuan, quickly waving his hand, "Sister! I don’t need you to take care of me. I can take care of myself."

Hearing this, Yan Yuan pulled Bai Ji inside and casually shut the door.

At the doorway, Bai Chenxi: "..."

Regretted agreeing to let him come play, he was more trouble than help.

Who knows what the two of them are doing inside?

Anyway, with Bai Ji’s little rascal nature, he was still uneasy about leaving him with Yan Yuan.

Inside, Bai Ji had just finished bathing, wearing Yan Yuan’s T-shirt as pajamas.

Another knock sounded from outside.

Yan Yuan thought, why has her door become so lively?

She opened the door, seeing Bai Chenxi standing at the entrance.

He was still in the same clothes from when he returned, obviously not having had time to bathe.

"What do you want?" Yan Yuan asked.

Bai Chenxi coughed and said, "Where’s Little Baby? Tell him to come out."

Inside, Bai Ji heard Bai Chenxi’s voice and immediately protested, "I’m not going out, I want to sleep with Sister. Dad’s a big meanie."

Bai Chenxi’s face turned green at those words.

Yan Yuan crossed her arms, raised her chin and said coldly, "Did you hear that, Little Baby says he won’t sleep with you."

"..." Bai Chenxi clenched his fist in frustration, this kid was becoming more unruly by the day.

He grabbed Yan Yuan’s hand, trying to charge into the room.

But Yan Yuan counter-grabbed his shoulder and pushed him out of the door, "What kind of dad are you? Let the kid stay here with me until her mom comes to get her."

Yan Yuan looked every bit the part of justice enforcer.

Bai Chenxi said angrily, "He’s not my son!"

"Not admitting it?" Yan Yuan gave Bai Chenxi a disdainful look, "Even if you don’t admit it, you can’t bully the kid. Besides, he’s yours!"

Bai Chenxi gritted his teeth, anger flaring unstoppably.

The little troublemaker was one thing, but Yan Yuan was dead inside.

She wasn’t even a bit angry or jealous, but instead rebuked him.

Bai Chenxi finally walked away with a dark face.

That night, Yan Yuan and Bai Ji slept in the same bed.

Bai Ji was very well-behaved, especially while sleeping, hugging Yan Yuan’s arm, acting like a small kitten.

Moreover, he took care of his own bathing and everything at night.

Yan Yuan thought the kid was easier to handle than she expected.

In the morning, Bai Chenxi appeared in the living room with dark circles under his eyes.

Yan Yuan had already dressed Little Baby, and the two were sitting at the dining table waiting for the chef to serve breakfast.

"Sister, are you busy today? If not, let’s go out and play. I’ll treat you to dessert." Six-year-old Bai Ji, dressed in a tiny suit, looked like a very gentlemanly little prince.

Upon hearing the word "dessert," Yan Yuan’s eyes lit up.

She quickly nodded, "Sure, I’m fortunately not busy today, no other plans either."

The big and small instantly reached an agreement.

Bai Chenxi was treated like air.

Clearly, he was the head of the household, right!

"Don’t you have shooting today?" Bai Chenxi asked as he approached the dining table.

Yan Yuan shook her head, "No, the costumes for ’Sword Immortal’ just arrived today, we’ll shoot the photo tomorrow."

Bai Chenxi couldn’t help focusing on Bai Ji, his gaze was icy cold.

Bai Ji raised his little face, unfazed by him, pretending not to understand his expression, smiled and said, "Dad, didn’t you sleep well last night? Why don’t you take a day off and join us for dessert."

Just then the chef brought breakfast to the table.

Bai Chenxi gave Bai Ji a sidelong glance and said, "I have things to do today, you two go ahead."

After breakfast.

Bai Chenxi left first.

Yan Yuan and Bai Ji left shortly after.

Bai Ji’s favorite was a dessert shop in the city center.

The desserts there were undeniably delicious.

He took Yan Yuan on an hour-long ride to the dessert shop’s location.

But upon arrival, they found it was closed for the day.

The little guy seemed particularly set on that dessert shop, seeing it closed.

He stomped with anger, "How could this happen? This shop makes the best desserts, how could they close for a day? No way, I want to call and ask why they closed."

Conveniently, he had the dessert shop owner’s phone number.

He called and the owner apologized, "Well, several days’ worth of desserts were all ordered by a certain company, so the shop is empty now. Hence, closed for a day."

Seeing the little guy’s face darken, Yan Yuan quickly reassured, "No worries, we can come back tomorrow. At worst, we can find something else to eat today."

The little milk bun widened his eyes in frustration, clutching his phone and said to the person on the other end: "Which company placed the order, and what’s the name of the person?"

The owner of the dessert shop thought for a moment and said, "The order was placed by Fengying Entertainment. The person who ordered is surnamed Li."

Surname Li?

Bai Ji immediately hung up the phone angrily. He knew the one surnamed Li; it was Bai Chenxi’s friend and subordinate.

Li Rui, the current general manager of Fengying.

He strongly suspected that Bai Chenxi and the person surnamed Li were conspiring to intentionally prevent him and his sister from eating the desserts.

Yan Yuan suddenly received a phone call from Xiao Jiemei.

"Yueyue, come back quickly. Today, General Manager Li is treating everyone to desserts. Everyone in the company who’s present gets some. It’s said to be the best and most expensive dessert in the city."

Yan Yuan: "..."

She could imagine why the little milk bun was showing such an ugly expression.

However, this coincidence was just too perfect.

Earlier, the little milk bun was clamoring for desserts, and then Li Rui, the general manager, bought all the desserts back to the company.

Yan Yuan looked at Bai Ji, patted his head, and asked, "Why don’t we go to the company together to eat desserts?"

The little milk bun clenched his jaw but couldn’t resist Yan Yuan’s fondness, so he ended up going to the company with her.

Fengying’s reception area was filled with a variety of desserts, so many that it was dazzling.

For a food lover like Yan Yuan, it was like entering heaven.

The little milk bun stood grumpily to the side, obviously still sulking, ignoring his usually favorite desserts.

Xiao Jiemei and Mu Chiheng were also there, and the bustling hall was already crowded with food enthusiasts.

Even Chu Chen, who rarely showed up, was there.

"Chencheng, eat a little less to maintain your figure." Zheng Zong anxiously advised from the side.

But Chu Chen went straight to Yan Yuan’s side and took the dessert Yan Yuan handed her, not caring if she would gain weight.

"Big star, don’t worry, when you get fat, I’ll help you lose weight." Yan Yuan cheerfully stuffed a dessert into her mouth.

Chu Chen immediately smiled happily and said, "You said it, now I can eat without worry."

Yan Yuan and Chu Chen chatted and ate, and soon, the heap of desserts in the hall dwindled, with more and more people coming to eat.

The little milk bun grumpily took the elevator to the outside of Bai Chenxi’s office.

He stood at the door, knocking consistently.

Bai Chenxi, hearing the urgent knocking, repeatedly said come in, but no one moved.

Finally running out of patience, he went to open the door himself.

After opening the door, he initially wanted to scold the door-knocker, but found it was just a little one as tall as his leg.

"What are you here for?" Bai Chenxi asked unhappily.

The little milk bun snorted and stepped forward, "You’re so stupid; no wonder you can’t win over my sister."

Pfft...

Bai Chenxi felt like he was about to spit blood.

Was this little brat deliberately here to mock him?

Bai Chenxi coldly rolled his eyes, preparing to close the door again.

The little milk bun cleverly squeezed through the gap into the office.

Bai Chenxi glared at him, "I’ll have someone send you back later."

The little milk bun rolled his eyes, showing no fear at all, and even sneered, "Sure, send me back. My sister might become someone else’s girlfriend soon."

"What do you mean?" Bai Chenxi closed the office door.

The little milk bun looked at his uncle like he was an idiot, "You like her, can’t you be more obvious? My sister doesn’t like you. If you don’t take initiative, she’ll become someone else’s girlfriend one day."

Bai Chenxi snorted coldly; what did he know...

In regards to Yan Yuan, ordinary rules didn’t apply; it wasn’t about being proactive or not.

"You’re in the way now; I’m going to have someone take you back." As soon as Bai Chenxi finished speaking, he was about to pick up his phone to make a call.

Bai Ji pounced forward and snatched his phone, his earlier harshness softened.

"Uncle, let’s not call, okay? Fine, I won’t sleep in my sister’s room tonight." The little milk bun softened up, acting all cute.

Bai Chenxi glared at him.

The little milk bun continued, "The only reason I get close to my sister is for you."

Bai Chenxi raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing his words.

The little milk bun went on, "Based on my research, my sister indeed has no experience in love and never thought of being in a relationship."

"Get to the point; don’t interfere with my work." In Bai Chenxi’s eyes, the little milk bun was just trying to stall to avoid being sent back.

The little milk bun earnestly said, "This shows my sister has no relationship experience. You need to be proactive, like creating opportunities for the two of you to be alone. Then get close to her, take care of her thoughtfully, and move her..."

Bai Chenxi thought, at his age, he has to be taught by a kid on how to pursue someone; it was absurd.

But on second thought, the kid’s advice seemed to make sense.

Bai Chenxi glanced at the little milk bun, "Where did you learn all this?"

"Hehe, I’ll give you a book someday called ’Seventy Things Lovers Must Do Together.’"

Bai Chenxi was speechless.

After Yan Yuan was full, she realized the little milk bun was missing.

But fortunately, he was still at the company.

After wrestling with herself for a while, she sneaked past the crowd and quietly went to the top floor.

She burst into Bai Chenxi’s office and indeed saw the little milk bun sitting on the sofa, seriously drinking tea and eating desserts like a lord.

Bai Chenxi was sitting nearby, pouring him water.

Yan Yuan always felt this scene looked very strange.

"Little Baby, I’m taking you home." Yan Yuan waved at Bai Ji with a sweet smile.
