Quan Ziting cautiously signaled for Nan Shi Yi to stop talking first.
Nan Shi Yi rolled his eyes around, pressed his rosy lips together, and nodded firmly.
The two of them, identical in appearance, even mirrored each other’s movements and blinking frequency as they quietly pressed themselves against the door, carefully listening to the sounds outside.
It seemed to be work-related. Not long after, someone closed the door and left.
Nan Shi Yi was not sure what was happening outside. He looked up at Quan Ziting and pointed at his mouth—he had a lot to say.
Quan Ziting pressed his lips together and opened the laptop. After a series of operations, he pulled up the surveillance system—shockingly, it displayed the view inside Quan Yuchen’s office.
Wow! Cool!
Nan Shi Yi’s eyes widened in amazement. As expected, this was their Second Child—just as smart as him.
He gave Quan Ziting a thumbs-up.
From outside, faint arguing voices could be heard.
“I want to see Yu Chen! Who do you think you are, daring to stop me? Get lost!”
“Miss Nan, the President is not available right now.”
“Others may not be qualified, but I am Nan Xiyan! How can others compare to me?”
The office door opened, and a figure appeared on the screen. Both children immediately focused their attention.
The assistant looked troubled.
“President, Miss Nan she—”
Quan Yuchen’s handsome face was cold as he said in a deep voice,
“You may leave.”
The assistant responded with a “Yes” and exited.
Nan Xiyan sniffed dramatically and complained tearfully,
“Yu Chen, I was bullied. Some random ‘wild chicken’ designer President Zheng found from nowhere stole my Chief Executive Officer position and even slapped me in public. She humiliated me.”
A trace of disgust flashed across Quan Yuchen’s brows.
“Am I very free?”
Even such trivial matters were brought to him?
In most cases, Nan Xiyan would not be worth his attention. But this time, it involved Nan Wanwan—someone who should have been dead—and she was actually the rumored Doris.
“I’m only a Director at Quanxi. President Zheng has never thought highly of me. If I openly go against that Chief Designer, it would be disrespectful to President Zheng. How could she possibly be comfortable? Yu Chen, please help me.”
Quan Yuchen’s long fingers paused slightly as he caught the key point. His eyes lifted coldly.
“The company values talent. If she looks down on you, then prove yourself and make her submit.”
“I…”
Nan Xiyan was momentarily speechless. Then she thought about it—wasn’t this basically him backing her up?
Her expression instantly softened as she tried to act affectionate.
“Yu Chen, I will prove it to you. I won’t let you down.”
“Stay away from me.”
Quan Yuchen’s face had already turned extremely impatient as he snapped coldly.
Nan Xiyan had no choice but to stop approaching him.
“Yu Chen, today is my birthday. Can you have dinner with me tonight? Just treat it as celebrating with me.”
His expression remained blank as he tried his best to suppress the irritation within him.
Why did such a noisy species exist in this world?
“We rarely even see each other. On my birthday, can’t you bear to let me spend it alone? It’s just a meal.”
Quan Yuchen clenched his fist.
“Get out.”
Nan Xiyan immediately brightened.
“You agreed? I’ll take that as you agreed. I’ll wait for you after work.”
His gaze grew darker and more dangerous, patience completely exhausted.
“Don’t make me repeat myself.”
Fearing rejection, Nan Xiyan did not dare say anything more and quickly left.
The assistant had already arranged the daily meeting schedule. Under his guidance, Quan Yuchen headed to the meeting room.
The large office returned to silence.
Finally able to breathe, Nan Shi Yi patted Quan Ziting’s shoulder.
“Second Child, having that kind of mother must be really hard on you. But now you can finally reunite with us.”
Quan Ziting thought for a moment.
“No.”
Nan Shi Yi widened his eyes in anguish.
“Second Child?! Even now you still don’t believe me? That evil woman is not your Mommy at all.”
Then he leaned closer and asked seriously,
“Do you want Daddy and Mommy to be together?”
