Chu Yichen was a little thirsty after reading five stories in a row. He glanced sideways and saw Li An’an leaning against the door, staring at him with a complicated expression.
“Why are you in a daze? Cut us so fruit.”
Li An’an snapped out of her daze and hurried over with the sliced cantaloupe. “Daddy, have so lon,” Li Baobao suddenly said.
Li An’an was so shocked that she dropped the fruit plate and it almost crashed on the floor. Luckily, Chu Yichen caught it calmly to prevent dirtying the carpet. He placed the plate on the coffee table and explained to Li An’an who was in shock, “She and I are quite fated. She started calling Daddy the first ti we t,” he teased.
Li Baobao knew that she had made a mistake. She lowered her head and played with her fingers. She didn’t do it on purpose. She was used to it.
“Baobao, you have to call him ‘uncle’, do you understand? You can’t be addressing him inappropriately,” Li An’an hurriedly coaxed. Li Baobao pouted and turned her face away unhappily.
Li An’an sighed.
“Let her be!” Chu Yichen took a small piece of honeydew and handed it to Li Baobao. She had been calling him “Daddy” for so long that he was not used to her calling him “Uncle”.
Li An’an looked nervously at Junjun and Jinjbn. Would they follow suit? Fortunately, the two children didn’t seem to have any intention of following suit, which made her heave a sigh of relief.
After eating the fruit, Chu Yichen went to the bedroom to retrieve his phone that had been charged. He checked the incoming calls and replied to them one by one.
“Have the three kids signed up for hobby classes?”
“No, why?”
There had been a lot of things going on recently, and she hadn’t sent her children for these classes. Li An’an suddenly rembered that he had said that he wanted to discipline the kids. It couldn’t be.
“Children have to be nurtured from a young age. What do they enjoy doing?”
“Jùnjùn likes to draw, Junjun likes to play the piano, Baobao…” Li An’an hesitated at the ntion of Baobao. She really couldn’t think of anything she liked.
“Baobao likes eating, you can take to a chocolate factory and leave there. I’m interested,” Li Baobao said with a look of yearning.
Li An’an held her forehead.
Chu Yichen had a strange look on his face. “I know so teachers. Send Jùnjùn and Junjun to learn. Baobao may take ballet lessons.”
Li An’an’s expression changed. Why should he be making these arrangents for her children? “No need for that. I’ll sign up for the children myself. I won’t trouble you.”
Was he trying to snatch her kids? No way.
Seeing that she didn’t agree, Chu Yichen asked, “Allowing Jinjbn to draw on a car… Is that how you teach the kids?”
Li An’an was speechless. Even Jinjbn was dissatisfied. He was an obedient child and had only made one mistake.
“I didn’t discipline him well that ti, it won’t happen again. Jùnjùn is usually very obedient. I’ll send mm to drawing lessons. Besides, we’re not related. It’S not nice to trouble you.” Li An’an didn’t want the children to be too involved with Chu Yichen.
Chu Yichen changed his approach. “It’s no trouble at all. We know each other pretty well anyway. Helping them is helping myself too.” Chu Yichen sounded ambiguous.
Li An’an couldn’t help turning red. But what did he an by saying this? Was he forcing her to compromise?
The doorbell rang.
Chu Yichen walked to the door and opened it. Li Cheng was standing outside. When he saw Li An’an and the three children, he was stunned. If he rembered correctly, this was the CEO’s apartnt. Why was Li An’an here? The children were here too.
When Li Baobao saw Li Cheng, she narrowed her eyes and smiled. She looked extrely smug and adorable.
Li Cheng looked at Li An’an strangely. He had seen this child more than once. Why was she here too? What had happened?
“Arrange to send the three children to Elder Lu, Elder Hai, and Miss Du.”
“Yes, CEO.” Li Cheng sighed. These were internationally famous teachers. Why was the CEO sending these three children to them? These teachers were extrely selective in taking in disciples. However, if the CEO wished to send these children to them, they wouldn’t question him. After all, the Chu Corporation gave them substantial sponsorship every year to support their education structure. It was only right for them to return the favor.
Li An’an had no idea what to do. “Didn’t I say that I’ll sign them up myself? Moreover, I don’t need very expensive teachers. Ordinary ones will do.”
Chu Yichen did not agree with her. “Are you able to find them teachers that are better than mine? Don’t let your emotions affect the children.”
Li An’an admitted that while her finances and connections were not as good as Chu Yichen’s, she could not send them there.”l’ll have to discuss it with their parents. After all, I can’t make the decision.”
Chu Yichen walked to the door and looked back. “If their parents are not fools, they will agree. I will pay the fees. I will sponsor them until they finish college.
Their parents don’t have to worry about anything.”
Li An’an panicked. “Are you that kind-hearted? Didn’t you say that you don’t like children?” She was a little confused. Was it because of her? He was being so generous to the three children.
“I’ve never been kind-hearted. I just happen to have a special liking for these three children.” Chu Yichen did not hide his love for the three children.
Li An’an was stunned. How could this be? Didn’t he dislike children? If he knew that the children were his, would he still like them? She didn’t dare to take that risk. Perhaps his love for these kids was just a spur of the mont. After all, he had money. It was not a big deal to sponsor the three children from kindergarten to university.
The elevator door opened and Auntie Li ca out. When she saw the scene in the corridor, she was a little reserved.
Li An’an felt as though she had t her savior. “Let introduce, this is the children’s grandma.”
Prior to this, she had already told Auntie Li to play along. Auntie Li was very cooperative and was about to speak when she saw Chu Yichen and the mansion behind him. She was shocked. The furniture in the apartnt must be worth a year’s worth of her salary.
“I am, I am.”
Chu Yichen had no interest in befriending such a person. He kissed Li An’an on the cheek and left with Li Cheng.
Li An’an’s head started to throb. What did she have to do to successfully reject Chu Yichen?
Auntie Li walked around the luxury ho. “Miss Li, he’s the children’s father, right? He looks so wealthy. Why did you lie to him? You don’t want him to find out that the children are his. He has a wife, right?”
“No, the children are not his. Don’t ask about this anymore. Help get my things together and we’ll leave.”
Auntie Li felt that it was a pity. “Miss Li, you’re not staying in such an aweso apartnt? I went to look for you this morning and realized that the previous house had been burned down. How are you going to stay there?”
As Li An’an packed up the children’s belongings and said, “Rent a new house.
Don’t worry, I’ll rent a big one with a room to yourself this ti round.”
Auntie Li reluctantly helped to pack her belongings and left with the three children. She felt that Li An’an was rather silly. Wasn’t she making the children suffer along with her by not letting them live in such a nice house? To put it nicely, she was being noble, but to put it bluntly, she was not very smart.
“Miss Li, why don’t you reconsider? It’s too hard for a single woman to be taking care of three children.”
“There’s no need to think about it, the children really aren’t his, they just look like him.” Li An’an didn’t want to explain this to Auntie Li, so she walked out of the apartnt.
Auntie Li pursed her lips. Who would believe her? Junjun’s and Jùnjùn’s facial features were exactly the sa as that man’s. She wasn’t stupid. She guessed that Li An’an was probably trying to force the man to leave his wife..
