“Young Master, what do you mean by this?”
He Sheng had long been used to the quiet, cold, and withdrawn Quan Ziting. He had never seen him act so different before.
This felt even more terrifying than someone suddenly replacing his personality entirely.
“This matter… please help me keep it a secret,” Nan Shiyi said, drooping his head. His long curled eyelashes fluttered against his eyelids, and his handsome, refined face carried a hint of sadness.
“Young Master, what’s wrong with you?”
The atmosphere had turned so heavy that He Sheng’s tense heart softened slightly.
“I don’t know what I did recently, but Mommy really hates me. No matter what I do, she doesn’t like me,” Nan Shiyi said pitifully.
“Miss Nan is usually quite reasonable,” He Sheng said hesitantly.
Bah! That was just how she acted in front of you straight men.
Nan Shiyi squeezed out tears from the corners of his eyes, fully activating his acting skills.
“It’s true. Mommy even said she wants to have another baby with Daddy and replace me. I just wanted to be good. Today is Mommy’s birthday, so I wanted to give her a surprise and make her happy…”
He Sheng’s brows furrowed tightly as he listened.
The Young Master had never been talkative, but he was very intelligent and sensitive. He had often seen loneliness and disappointment in his eyes when it came to Nan Xiyan—but he had always assumed it was his imagination.
Could it really be, as the Young Master said, that Nan Xiyan was not as kind as she appeared?
“Young Master, you are truly a filial child,” He Sheng said sincerely.
Putting everything else aside, the Young Master still remembered Miss Nan’s birthday. That alone deserved praise.
“I just want to be Mommy’s good child,” Nan Shiyi said softly.
He Sheng was deeply moved by the performance and easily agreed to help. He quickly tidied the lounge and secretly brought Nan Shiyi to his assistant office.
With nothing to do, Nan Shiyi searched for the most meaningful restaurant in Shendu City on his phone and decided it would be the place for Mommy and Daddy’s first date.
“Uncle, I helped Daddy choose this restaurant. What do you think? Isn’t it very romantic and warm?”
“Young Master has good taste. I’ll notify Miss Nan right away,” He Sheng replied.
Nan Shiyi paused, then quickly realized something. He forced a slightly awkward smile.
How could he forget that Nan Xiyan was the most important “tool” for Mommy and Daddy’s date—she was indispensable.
This date plan absolutely could not fail.
Quan Ziting received the location sent by Nan Shiyi, opened the map, and studied the route, already forming a plan in his mind.
As for how to get Wanwan to agree, that would depend on Nan Qiqi.
……
After work, Nan Xiyan deliberately dressed up and went straight to the CEO Office to wait outside for Quan Yuchen.
Dressed in a noble, custom-made black suit, the man’s perfectly proportioned figure was sharply defined. Beneath his neatly styled short hair was a flawless, strikingly handsome face, and his cold black eyes carried a chilling sharpness.
Nan Xiyan bit her lip in excitement.
“Yuchen…”
Quan Yuchen’s expression immediately darkened.
“What is it? Yuchen—what’s wrong? Didn’t you ask me—”
“Daddy, Mommy.”
Nan Shiyi quickly stepped in, interrupting their conversation and drawing both of their attention.
Nan Xiyan was shocked.
“Ziting? Why are you here?”
Nan Shiyi looked slightly shy.
“I heard today is Mommy’s birthday, so I wanted to celebrate it with Daddy for Mommy.”
Nan Xiyan was furious inside but dared not show it. She did not want this “little nuisance” as a third wheel during her private date with Quan Yuchen—but if she didn’t bring him along, Quan Yuchen might not show up at all.
“Oh? So baby wanted to surprise Mommy? Mommy is so touched. Yuchen, thank you.”
