Chapter 354
Xu Yanzhi’s mouth opened and closed. After a long time, he could only ask, “You don’t want me to Call You Daddy, do you?”
Li Jingran nodded without batting an eyelid. “You can think that way.”
Xu Yanzhi’s small face instantly flushed red. He said angrily, “I treat you like an uncle, and you actually want to be my daddy!”
“No, no, no! I only have one daddy. No matter what, I can’t betray my daddy.”
“Since you won’t agree, then stay at home.”
Li Jingran looked at Little Tuan Zi with a sense of control. “If you don’t acknowledge me as your father, I don’t have the right to take you out to play.”
Xu Yanzhi was at a disadvantage and wanted to go, but he couldn’t betray Gu Jinshen, so he could only go back to Xu Wanwan.
“Mommy, can I Ask You Something?”
Xu Wanwan was in a video conference. She glanced at Little Tuan Zi and saw that he was pouting his lips unhappily. She immediately said, “Sorry, the conference will be suspended for now.”
“What’s wrong, Baby?”She got up and walked to Xu Yanzhi’s side and asked patiently, “Aren’t you happy staying here?”
“No...”Xu Yanzhi shook his head. “I just don’t understand why uncle Li always makes me call him daddy. Why?”
“I only have one daddy. Why does he still want to be my daddy so much?”
Xu Wanwan could not help but pinch the space between her eyebrows
......
“Uh... maybe uncle Li likes you too much and wants you to be his godson.”Xu Wan ‘an did not know how to explain, so she could only make up a random excuse, “But you can reject him, so there’s no need to be bothered by this, right?”
Xu Yanzhi’s attention was not on this. His eyes lit up and he suddenly asked, “Mommy, do you mean that you can acknowledge a godfather as well as your own Daddy?”
“Yes, I’m just explaining to you why uncle Li did this. You can just reject him.”
The burden in Xu Yanzhi’s heart disappeared and he immediately said, “Mommy, I still have something to do. I’m leaving First!”
He ran to Li Jingran and said before he could even catch his breath, “Uncle Li, I can call you Daddy Now!”
Li Jingran put down his work again and raised his eyebrows when he saw the sudden change in the little guy’s attitude. “Have you figured it out?”
“Mommy said that a person can have two Daddies!”Xu Yanzhi said seriously, “But if I have my own Daddy, you can only be my goddaddy. Are you willing to do that?”
historical
Li Jingran couldn’t help but laugh. “Then you can call me that first.”
“Then it’s a deal. I’ll Call You Daddy. You have to take me to the amusement park to play!”
“Okay, I promise you.”Li Jingran had originally planned to take him out to play after finishing the work at hand, and at the same time, to cultivate their relationship.
Xu Yanzhi cleared his throat seriously. “Daddy!”
This clear and firm voice suddenly reached the bottom of Li Jingran’s heart.
The man’s hard body froze. It was as if all the blood in his body was flowing to his heart.
So this was what it felt like to be a father.
At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open. Housekeeper Zhou rushed over with a schedule. “Director Li, something has happened at the head office. It’s urgent for you to take care of it.”
“You have an appointment with director Wu at five in the afternoon. We’re running out of time. When do you plan to leave?”
“All the work today has been postponed,”Li Jingran said without hesitation.
Housekeeper Zhou was stunned. “Do you have another schedule?”
Li Jingran stood up, picked up his coat on the back of the chair, and held Xu Yanzhi’s hand. “To the amusement park.”
—
At two o’clock in the afternoon on the weekend, the amusement park was crowded with people. Adults brought their children through various amusement facilities.
Ferris wheels, big hammers, merry-go-rounds, dreamy music, cartoon icons, everything here was full of innocence.
Li Jingran was wearing a high-class custom-made suit. The man was tall and had long legs, wide shoulders, and narrow hips. His formal suit stood out in the crowd.
Xu Yanzhi naively held Li Jingran’s hand and whispered, “Daddy, can you take me to play?”
Li Jingran was very satisfied with this form of address. His thin lips curved into an arc. “Yes.”
“Mommy, you can accompany me too!”
As Xu Yanzhi said this, he held Xu Wanwan’s hand again.
The three of them walked side by side. They really looked like a happy family.
However, Li Jingran was dressed too seriously and his aura was too strong. Every time they went to a place, the workers of the amusement park could not help but lower their heads to avoid looking at them.
It was unknown which staff member had found the person-in-charge of the amusement park. When the person-in-charge heard that Li Jingran had come, he personally brought a small gift to his door, “Director Li, you have graced us with your presence. We did not come out to welcome you earlier. We have failed in our duty.”
Li Jingran glanced at him coldly. “What is it?”
“Director Li, I heard from the staff that you brought your wife and child here to play, so I specially brought some gifts for the young master,”the person-in-charge said as he hurriedly handed the bag in his hand to Xu Yanzhi, he was full of sincerity.
“Thank you, Uncle!”Xu Yanzhi happily accepted it, feeling very proud.
“Okay, okay, then I hope you have a good time! If you need anything, just let me know!”After saying that, the person-in-charge tactfully left.
However, he had promised the other staff members that he would treat Li Jingran well.
Therefore, throughout the entire game, almost a group of people walked around them. VIP passageways were opened at places that needed to line up, so Xu Yanzhi could play the items he wanted to play the first time.
The little boy who was still waiting in line pointed at Xu Yanzhi unhappily. “Why can you play in front of us? You didn’t even line up!”
Xu Yanzhi turned around and glanced at the little boy. In front of everyone, he grabbed Li Jingran’s arm tightly and replied loudly, “Because I have a great daddy!”
This crisp sound not only made the people present look at Li Jingran, but even Xu Wanwan couldn’t help but look at Li Jingran.
The envious gazes of the crowd were meaningless to Li Jingran. On the contrary, Xu Yanzhi’s call of “Daddy”had struck a chord in his heart.
He looked satisfied and pulled Little Tuan back. “Do you still want to play?”
“Yes!”Xu Yanzhi excitedly held Li Jingran’s hand and very quickly became familiar with him. “I still want Daddy to play with Me!”
This call of “Daddy”was particularly smooth, and Xu Wanwan could not help but frown when she heard it.
This child clearly hated Li Jingran before, but he had changed his words after a few days. What was going on?
Xu Wanwan was not in the mood to play. Looking at the scene of Xu Yanzhi and Li Jingran getting along happily, she had mixed feelings.
Was Xu Yanzhi so happy because he had fulfilled his dream of playing in the amusement park, or because he needed his father’s care?
In the middle of the game, Xu Wanwan went to the bathroom. Li Jingran took Xu Yanzhi to the side to rest.
Xu Yanzhi was a little tired from playing, so he held the cup and gulped down water.
Li Jingran raised his wrist to look at the time. “Have you played enough?”
