"It's okay. I've given him a day off today. He's in a bad mood, so I'll let him stay with you for the whole day. Is that convenient for you?"
Qi Shifeng narrowed his dark eyes slightly and stared straight at her. He was like a hungry wolf playing with people's hearts, his eyes blazing with fire while a smile played on his lips.
Xu Tingyu was inexplicably intimidated by his gaze and subconsciously asked him, "Are you serious?"
"What, don't you want to?"
Qi Shifeng no longer restrained his emotions. He let the raging fire of anger, greed, and delusion in his heart completely take over his eyes.
Xu Tingyu was even more startled and subconsciously shrank back towards the head of the bed. "How could I? I'm more than happy to."
As her words fell, the man had already regained his composure, and a look of calm self - control returned to his face.
"Then I'll leave Youyou to you today. I have a meeting later and I'll go to the company first."
Qi Shifeng stood up and took another deep look at her.
By the time Xu Tingyu wanted to discern his look in the eye, he had already turned around and left gracefully.
Not long after, Youyou woke up and gave Xu Tingyu a big smile. "Good morning, Mom."
This smile made all of Xu Tingyu's doubts disappear.
She smiled back at him. "Son, get up. We can spend the whole day together today. Mom will take you out to play, okay?"
Of course, Youyou was very happy to play with Xu Tingyu.
The two had breakfast at home. Xu Tingyu called her assistant. "Sorry, I have some unexpected arrangements today. You can send me the pictures. I'll get back to you tomorrow."
The assistant on the other end didn't say much. After all, Xu Tingyu was always highly efficient and rarely made last - minute changes.
After arranging her work, she took Youyou straight to the amusement park.
What a coincidence! They ran into Chen Yan while queuing up to enter the amusement park.
Chen Yan spotted Xu Tingyu at once and immediately walked towards her.
"Why are you here too?"
If it weren't for the surprise on Chen Yan's face, Xu Tingyu would definitely have thought he was stalking her.
Otherwise, how could they meet in an amusement park in such a big city as Kyoto?
"My friend insisted on accompanying his girlfriend here and dragged me along. Since you ignored me, I had no choice but to come here to kill time."
Chen Yan looked aggrieved again, as if it was an ungrateful and immoral thing for Xu Tingyu to leave him alone.
Xu Tingyu rolled her eyes at him. "Come on, stop acting. Let me introduce you. This is my son, Youyou. Youyou, say hello to Uncle."
Chen Yan had been so focused on Xu Tingyu that he only suddenly noticed the little boy standing beside her when she said this.
The four - or five - year - old boy was already quite tall. His facial features were very similar to Qi Shifeng's. He could even be said to be a carbon copy of his father.
Only his eyes were like Xu Tingyu's, very beautiful.
In Chen Yan's eyes, however, the boy resembled Xu Tingyu more, which immediately reminded him of her childhood.
"You're as good - looking as your mom was when she was a kid."
He bent down and squatted in front of Youyou with a smile. "Hello, Youyou. My name is Chen Yan."
Actually, Youyou had been observing Chen Yan secretly since he appeared. Now seeing him greet him actively, he nodded. "Hello, Uncle Chen. My dad is Qi Shifeng."
"I know. I also know your dad."
Chen Yan couldn't help smiling. Sure enough, he was Qi Shifeng's son. Even at such a young age, he was so calculating.
Did he think that mentioning Qi Shifeng's name would be a warning?
But he couldn't be serious with a child, so he generously admitted that he knew Qi Shifeng and then said, "Let's play together. It'll be more fun with more people."
There were also two men and three women who came with Chen Yan. At the moment, they were constantly peeping through the crowd.
Two men and two women were two couples, and the boys were all Chen Yan's friends.
The other single girl was Zhao You, the apple of the eye of the family that owned the largest chain hotel in Kyoto.
She came here specifically for Chen Yan today.
She was also the one who had arranged this trip. Now, looking at Xu Tingyu, she naturally sized her up warily.
Just then, someone said something inappropriate. One of the boys, Han Hua, suddenly spoke up.
"Who's that woman? Young Master Chen has been in a bad mood all day. Why is he smiling so much when he sees her?"
His girlfriend nudged him with her elbow. "Don't talk nonsense. Young Master Chen is just being polite. He's just saying hello to an acquaintance. That woman even has a child with her."
Chen Yan used to have a reputation as a playboy. He changed girlfriends more often than he changed clothes.
But in the past few years, he had suddenly reformed. Not only did he not have a girlfriend, but he didn't even have any flirting partners. Instead, he had made great achievements in his career.
This had once made people think that something was going to happen to the Chen family.
But nothing happened.
Then some people guessed that his last girlfriend had hurt him so deeply that he was allergic to women.
But after inquiring with the woman, it turned out that it was Chen Yan who had initiated the break - up.
In conclusion, some people thought that there was something wrong with his health.
Otherwise, they couldn't think of any other reason for his sudden self - restraint.
However, even with such rumors, there were still plenty of women flocking to him because of his good looks.
Zhao You was one of them.
Hearing the conversation beside her, a flash of impatience crossed her eyes.
This was an opportunity she had painstakingly arranged, and she couldn't let anyone ruin it.
So without saying a word, she immediately walked over.
"Young Master Chen, it's time to go in."
By the time she reached them, Zhao You had already put on a smiling face.
Xu Tingyu didn't even need to think to know that this girl was after Chen Yan.
So she said to Chen Yan, "No, I'll be with my son. You go with your friends."
Hearing that Xu Tingyu really had a son, Zhao You secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, Chen Yan couldn't possibly have feelings for a woman with a child.
Thinking this way, her hostility towards Xu Tingyu disappeared, and she even smiled at her.
Xu Tingyu nodded at her as a greeting.
But Chen Yan disagreed. "No, I want to be with you."
If it weren't for Youyou being there, he would definitely have grabbed Xu Tingyu's arm.
But in front of the child, he behaved much more properly. After all, he also wanted to leave a good impression on the child.
Xu Tingyu was a bit embarrassed. It wasn't that she didn't want to be with Chen Yan, but she was afraid that Youyou wouldn't want to.
But she also knew that Chen Yan was stubborn, so she bent down and asked Youyou, "Is it okay to play with Uncle?"
Youyou, who had been silent, looked at Xu Tingyu and then at Chen Yan, and nodded. "Okay."
He also wanted to see what this uncle was up to.
Seeing that Youyou agreed, Xu Tingyu didn't insist anymore.
After all, all of Chen Yan's friends were rich kids. Maybe they could even become her clients.
She wouldn't lose anything.
Thinking this way, the two groups of people stood together. After greeting each other, they entered the amusement park together.
Since it was a weekday, there weren't many people in the amusement park. They went straight to play the adventure train for the first item.
Xu Tingyu took Youyou, and they shared a carriage with Chen Yan and Zhao You.
Along the way, Xu Tingyu was constantly talking to Youyou. The mother - son duo looked very harmonious and happy.
Chen Yan kept looking at them, his eyes full of smiles.
