Chapter 269

Xu Ran had just walked to the door when he saw Baozi’s expectant expression. Xu Ran picked up Baozi and asked him, “Why are you standing at the door? It’s so cold today.”

Baozi pouted and said unhappily, “Dad, can you bring me with you tomorrow? No one can talk to me here. I’m so bored.”

Xu Ran remembered that there were a lot of children nearby! How could Baozi still feel bored?

Before Xu Ran could ask, Liu Tong came out of the room and explained to him, “All the children in the vicinity went to school, the others are all childe and their parents wouldn’t let them go out to play with other kids, so Baozi can’t find his little friends.”

Xu Ran looked at Baozi and said in his heart, “Only our childe can go out and play casually, but he couldn’t find anyone to play with now.  I don’t know if it’s pitiful or what.”

Xu Ran asked Baozi, “Baozi, do you want to go to school too? I don’t know if the childe here can go to school, or what do you think if I send you to King Yan’s residence, so you learn the manners and how to manage a family from Qing Yun with Yan Lan?

Baozi didn’t know what manners and managing a family mean, so he looked at Xu Ran blankly.

On the other hand, Xu Ran was still in the fantacy of the image of Baozi, who had been taught by Xiao Qingyun and looked like a complete childe.

Xu Ran thought about it seriously and felt that it was really wonderful. He could imagine it by referring to the TV series he had seen in his previous life.

Looking at the smile on his Dad’s face, Baozi felt that it was really good to learn the manners and managing a family.

Xu Ran was picturing Baozi dressed in white, waving his folding fan and smiling gently in his mind. He could proudly introduce him to others that he was his son. Xu Ran instantly felt like he was gonna be proud of his son.

Imagination was wonderful, but it was not for everyone. After Xu Ran came back to his senses, he saw Baozi looking at him with an expectant look. He laughed with his gums visible and looked so silly, so all the imagination in Xu Ran’s heart was instantly shattered.

After reading the looks of the three children in his mind, Xu Ran felt that the only one who matched his imagination was Tangtang.

Although Guoguo and Tangtang looked exactly the same, for some reason, there was a kind of ruffian style on Guoguo, which was probably related to him wanting to join the army.

Of course, Guoguo would probably be more popular than Tangtang for that reason. Xu Ran was not worried about their future, as long as they would not be fickle in love.

Xu Ran looked at Baozi who had been staring at him and sighed silently. He looked good too! But it felt like it was his behavior that had ruined his face.

Xu Ran made a decision and said to Baozi, “Baozi, do you still want to marry Qing Shu when you grow up?”

Baozi nodded affirmatively, “Yeah, I do. even in my dreams.”

Xu Ran touched his forehead and wondered who had taught him all this. Really, how come he understood everything at such a young age?

Xu Ran said to Baozi, “Since you want to, listen to Dad’s arrangement, go to class with Yan Lan, let your uncle make you more powerful, so you can marry Qing Shu later when you go back.”

Baozi nodded continuously. “All right, all right, I’ll listen to you. I’m going to become stronger and go back to marry Qing Shu.” As he spoke, he clenched his fists at Xu Ran as a sign of determination.

Although he mentioned it himself, but with Baozi’s reaction, Xu Ran still felt like he was going to have a headache. As for the reason, he didn’t know, but the biggest one might be that he had misled his son.

After Baozi agreed, Xu Ran told Liu Tong about it, and also told Liu Tong about his fantasies. Liu Tong was very supportive of the scene, and he even added a few words to it. Then, after imagining it for a while, both of them thought it was a very good idea.

And Liu Tong didn’t know when it started, but he didn’t think that there was anything wrong with Baozi marrying Qing Shu when he grew up.

Xu Ran even had a kind of feeling that they were made for each other. If they didn’t get together, they would be inverse CP and be struck by lightning.

He just couldn’t stop imagining it.

……

So, the next morning, Xu Ran sent Baozi to King Yan’s residence early in the morning. Xu Ran had been holding him all the way and Baozi was still not awake when they reached the door.

When the new year passed, there were guards at the door again, but Xu Ran walked in without a notification.

Shortly after King Yan got up, he heard that Xu Ran had come over with a child in his arms. Thinking that something was wrong again, the king of Yan was so anxious that he ran to the living room, completely ignoring his own image.

King Yan rushed over and asked Xu Ran, “What happened? Which child did you hold?”

Seeing that King Yan was in such a hurry, Xu Ran smiled. This was probably the sequelae of the incident with Liu Tong last time.

Xu Ran said, “Don’t be so anxious, nothing happened. I just sent Baozi over to let him play with Yan Lan. All the kids in our street went to school. He is a bored at home, and it happens that he is old enough to go to school. I thought that he could come over and learn with Yan Lan. Is that okay with you, King Yan?”

King Yan was relieved when he heard Xu Ran say that nothing happened. He was really frightened by Liu Tong’s incident last time.

King Yan said, “Why not? Yan Lan has always been taught by his Daddy. Just leave him here confidently!  If you ask me, Baozi really needs to learn more about manners. No matter what you think, he is a childe after all. You can’t raise him like Tangtang and Guoguo. Now that he is young, he still has time to learn that. Otherwise, when he grows up and goes to the capital to meet some dignitaries, he will be said to be ill-bred.”

Xu Ran heard what King Yan said and after thinking about it for a while, he knew that King Yan was right. Especially Tangtang, he would definitely be a government official in the future. Baozi can’t avoiding visiting him anyway, but there would be a problem if he does.

Xiao Qingyun was born in a family of scholar, so he was definitely not bad in manners and knowledge. Xiao Qingyun also had a good personal temperament and he had his own exquisite way of walking, talking and eating. Even though it was not obvious, you could tell with a closer look. When he walks, every step was the same distance. He must have put a lot of effort to practice.

Xu Ran nodded at King Yan and said, “I know, that’s why I sent him over. If It works, I’ll send him over in the morning and pick him back at night. And please forgive him for being a little naughty.”

King Yan waved his hand and said, “It’s okay. It’s only natural that children like to play around. Besides, Baozi is not a troublemaker. He has been living in the mansion for two months. How can I not know about it?”

Xu Ran whispered in his heart, “There are many things you don’t know about. When he was in Xu Village, he was able to dominate as a childe. There were plenty of older boys in that group. He still didn’t know how Baozi did it, but he must be very extraordinary.”

Of course, Xu Ran wouldn’t say these things, so let King Yan understand it himself slowly! He would find out as time passed by.

Xu Ran woke Baozi up and put him on the ground. Baozi was still in a daze when Xu Ran asked him to be good and to study hard. After that, Xu Ran left him with King Yan.

He had to rush to the Red Tower himself and open the door for the business. It was time for the guest to come over. He could make a lot of money from breakfast in the morning. But the most important thing was that he had to train his apprentice.

Baozi didn’t come back to his senses after Xu Ran left for a long time. When he saw Xiao Qingyun, he realized that his father had disappeared. He looked up and asked King Yan, “Uncle, where’s my Dad? It was clearly Dad who had been holding me.”

King Yan touched his head and said, “Your Dad went to the Red Tower. You can play with your Brother Yan Lan here!”

Baozi also remembered what he said yesterday. He nodded to show that he got it. He didn’t cry or make a fuss, and he looked very adorable.

King Yan found that ever since Xu Ran and the others came, he liked children very much, especially his own. He always felt that other children were better than his.

King Yan looked at Baozi, and then looked at Yan Lan and Yan Hao who were standing at the door to come in. They looked good, but he thought Baozi was cuter.

The main reason was that Baozi dared to talk to him. His two children never asked him for anything, but he felt nothing about it. King Yan deeply felt that he needed to reflect on himself. After all, he was also expecting the birth of the two children then.

The two children obediently ran over to call him Father King, then they lowered their heads and stopped looking at him, as if they were a little unnatural.

At this moment, King Yan felt that he didn’t care enough about the two children. Otherwise, the two children would not be afraid when they saw him. They didn’t talk a lot and they didn’t even know how to throw a tantrum.

King Yan looked at the neat row of chairs in front of him, then carried the child over one by one and let them sat down. Then he said very seriously that Baozi was coming to have the class with Yan Lan in the mansion.

When Yan Lan heard this news, the joy on his face could not be concealed any more, even Yan Hao smiled happily.

Seeing the two children who were so easily satisfied, King Yan unconsciously smiled and stunned the two children.

Yan Hao suddenly jumped off the chair and went to King Yan’s arms. He hugged him and said, “Dad smiled. I have never seen Dad smile before.”

Hearing Yan Hao’s words, King Yan felt a little guilty. Sure enough, he cared too little about the two children. King Yan picked Yan Hao up and saw his smiling eyes. Yan Lan, who was sitting on the chair, also looked envious, but he did not come over because of his restraint.

Xiao Qingyun came in from the door and saw King Yan holding Yan Hao. He smiled and said, “It’s really rare! It’s been so many years since you’ve hugged both of them. Why are you so happy today?”

King Yan naturally wouldn’t say that this was provided by Xu Ran because when he saw Xu Ran holding Baozi and waiting for him, he had an envious feeling in his heart.

So he suddenly wanted to do this, to hug his two children at the moment.
