Chapter 21: Stealing a Glance
Edited by Ahzinal
When Ren Zhouyuan returned home, Fan Wenfeng had already sent An An back home. When he opened the door, Ren Zhouyuan hadn't yet stood firm before An An's soft body rushed over and pounced on him, causing him to nearly tumble to the ground.
"Ah, you finally came back," Fan Wenfeng, hearing the voices, came out and, when he saw it was him, he was quite relieved. "Your son asked me no less than 20 times today about just when Dad would return!"
Ren Zhouyuan smiled and picked up An An. Seeing his son's face made him forget a lot of troubles in an instant. He kissed An An on his head and said: "When Dad was not here, hopefully An An did not do any tricks. I must listen to what Uncle Feng has to say."
An An, seeing his Dad, smiled until his eyes almost disappeared. He hugged Ren Zhouyuan excitedly and shouted: "Didn't! Didn't!"
The few people happily ate a homemade meal, and, during that time, Fan Wenfeng was always teasing An An. He kept talking about how much the little child missed his Dad in the past two days, and the bet he made with him about not calling his father too soon, making An An very bashful. An An shrieked and threw himself into the arms of Ren Zhouyuan, hugging Ren Zhouyuan and incessantly giggling.
Ren Zhouyuan gave Fan Wenfeng a thankful look. He didn't dare to pick up An An's phone calls in front of Leonid. Thus, he sent a text message to Fan Wenfeng in advance to have him help trick An An. He didn't expect An An to really not throw a tantrum and call him. Handling An An, Fan Wenfeng really had his ways.
After sending off Fan Wenfeng, Ren Zhouyuan did not need An An to stick to him this time. He took An An into the bathroom to take a bath together on his own initiative. Only after two days of separation, he felt that he had not seen An An for a century. He finally understood how An An felt when he couldn't see him all these years.
The father and son were like conjoined twins this night. Wherever Ren Zhouyuan went, An An would follow him. Ren Zhouyuan later just carried An An on his back. Although it was almost the same situation as usual, but the two of them were obviously even more harmonious tonight. When the time to sleep came, one would give a kiss and the other would give one back, neverending, amusing An An until he laughed heartily. Nested in the arms of Ren Zhouyuan on the bed, he rolled into a small fluffy ball. He was soft and sweet smelling, and the softness extended all the way into Ren Zhouyuan's heart.
Early the next morning, the two were sweet this way all the way until the entrance of the kindergarten. An An pouted his small mouth and didn't want to go to school. Ren Zhouyuan's heart hurt and he also didn't want to send his child to school. Teacher Chen stood at the door and, seeing that the other children had already sat down in the room, yet the two people, one big one small, were still there motionlessly hugginging, could only helplessly remind them that class was starting soon.
Ren Zhouyuan left the kindergarten and felt that his heart was empty. When he went halfway, he just thought that the company still had a headache inducing issue, and he formed the idea of going back and taking An An home with him. He difficultly walked in the direction of the company, but he did not expect that by the time he returned to the company, Leonid was not in the office.
"Is the boss on a business trip?" Ren Zhouyuan was a little surprised. Usually, if Leonid was not on a business trip, he was almost all the time at the company, but they just came back from the new base of operations yesterday, yet today there was already no sign of the other. Although this meant he didn't have to face him and could relax a little, yet he didn't know which corner of his heart felt a little weird.
