The Long Aotian Cub Becomes the Pampered Darling of a Wealthy Family 46

Chapter 46

Shen Yuanchuan didn’t think too much about it. He just felt that Tiantian had a silly personality, and if he didn’t leave him a small private fund, he would probably starve himself to death in the future.

So Shen Yuanchuan found a small box with a lock and handed it to Shen Tiantian.

“Go on, pick two small gems to play with.”

Shen Tiantian’s round eyes sparkled with a crystalline light. He let out a “wow” and couldn’t wait to hold the small box and pick things.

He was young and didn’t care for those calligraphy, paintings, and vases. He only liked those sparkling little things and picked two or three worthless agates.

Shen Yuanchuan looked at him, shook his head lightly, and, in the end, being partial to him, he picked two more emeralds and small gold bars for the little one.

“These are the valuable ones. You silly thing, you only pick worthless things.”

Shen Tiantian held the much heavier little treasure box, giggled, and, standing on his tiptoes, rubbed his little face against his daddy’s.

“Daddy, you’re so nice. I like you so much.”

Shen Yuanchuan felt the warmth of the soft little face, his brows relaxed, and the corners of his lips lifted silently.

Not to mention, his little son was quite heartwarming.

The heartwarming little son, after rubbing against his daddy, immediately ran out on his little feet and hid the little treasure box in the cabinet.

He even reminded his daddy:

“This is mine. You can’t secretly take it away, Daddy.”

Shen Yuanchuan’s just-softened heart was immediately doused with a basin of cold water.

“You little brat, do I need these two or three stones from you?”

Although he was poked on the forehead by his daddy, Shen Tiantian still successfully obtained a small treasure box.

Shen Tiantian lay on the bed, counted his small private fund, and happily picked out two emeralds, planning to give them to his grandma when he went to see her tomorrow.

After thinking for a while, Shen Tiantian sat up again, crossed his short little legs, and added two small gold bars.

Grandma has had a hard life. I should give her more.

In the end, Shen Tiantian also added the spicy potato chips, planning to take them with him tomorrow.

He was too young to eat things that were too spicy. This bag of potato chips was something he had managed to hide from Auntie Mu and the butler uncle, and he wanted to save it for his grandma.

Thinking this, Shen Tiantian hugged his pile of treasures and fell asleep with his head in the pillow.

He fell asleep so quickly that the quilt was not even properly spread, and only a corner of it was draped over his belly.

The night was like a smooth satin, dotted with a few sparse stars, twinkling with a faint, insignificant light.

Around midnight, Shen Xiuze returned from working overtime and happened to run into Shen Jinfeng, who was about to go back to his room.

He paused in his steps and greeted Shen Jinfeng:

“Still up?”

Shen Jinfeng stretched, and his features seemed to have lost some of their world-weariness. He looked much more relaxed.

“I just finished an assignment. I’m so envious that you’ve already graduated.”

Shen Xiuze’s cold and stern expression relaxed. He pressed his lips into a smile and said:

“College is the most relaxing few years. Once these few years are over, you can only reminisce about the time that follows.”

The two of them exchanged a few words and then went back to their respective rooms.

Shen Xiuze returned to his bedroom. Thinking of the scene just now, he couldn’t help but press his lips together, his expression inexplicable.

He hadn’t expected that one day he would be able to chat so calmly with Shen Jinfeng.

Instead of trading barbs and sarcastic remarks as soon as they opened their mouths, wishing they could directly repel the other with words.

Shen Xiuze smiled and sighed softly. After showering, he went next door to check on Shen Tiantian.

The little one was a very restless sleeper and would never properly cover himself with the quilt at night.

Sure enough, as soon as Shen Xiuze pushed the door open, he saw Shen Tiantian’s sprawled-out sleeping posture.

The quilt was not spread out at all and was kicked by his little feet. The entire bed seemed to only have room for him, a little tyrant.

Shen Xiuze’s lips curved. He went over and shook the quilt a couple of times, shaking off several clinking emeralds and gold bars.

He picked up these things from the floor, was puzzled for a moment, then frowned and found a bag of potato chips from a corner by the bed.

“I was wondering. The auntie asked me two days ago if I had taken the potato chips, saying that a bag had inexplicably gone missing from the house. So it was taken by this little thing.”

Shen Jinfeng, who had just changed into his pajamas, walked over, folded his arms, and let out a soft hmph.

“Little brat. He even said I stole his pork rib at dinner, so I had to give him mine. I was so angry.”

While this little cub was asleep, Shen Jinfeng reached out and pinched his nose to vent his anger.

Shen Xiuze placed the small gold bars on the bedside table, held the potato chips, hesitated for a moment, and also put them aside.

Shen Jinfeng glanced at these things and yawned.

“Shen Yuanchuan is quite good to the little cub.”

Then he shook his head and let out a soft scoff.

“But he’s too soft-hearted. Not like me, whose heart is as hard as iron. The little brat can forget about getting anything from me.”

Shen Xiuze tucked Shen Tiantian in, his cold and stern expression softening a lot. He closed the bedroom door and couldn’t help but say:

“Didn’t he just get a pork rib from you tonight?”

Shen Jinfeng: “…”

“How can that count?”

After a moment of speechlessness, Shen Jinfeng let out a chuckle, shook his head, a layer of light in his eyes.

“Alright, he’s amazing.”

A night of sweet dreams.

Shen Tiantian slept very soundly this time. As soon as the morning light came through the window, he had already opened his eyes and climbed out of bed.

He ruffled the fluffy hair that was sticking up on his head, washed his face in a daze, and, as if remembering something, he jolted.

His little treasure box!

Shen Tiantian had toothpaste foam in his mouth. Without even having time to spit it out, he ran back to his small bed.

Seeing the things placed safely on the bedside table, Shen Tiantian let out a sigh of relief and blew a bubble of toothpaste foam.

It’s a good thing I’m smart and put everything on the bedside table before going to bed.

Shen Tiantian counted his assets again, stuffed the few things he had prepared to bring to his grandma into his pocket to prevent himself from forgetting,

After finishing his preparations, Shen Tiantian went to spit out the toothpaste foam and wiped his little mouth clean.

He changed into a new set of clothes. Shen Tiantian, in a white down jacket, was like a soft and sweet sesame glutinous rice ball.

Shen Tiantian was very satisfied with his outfit. He admired himself in the mirror for a while as usual, then bounced and ran downstairs.

He was so excited he didn’t even have time to eat breakfast. He stomped his little feet at the door and shouted:

“Cousin, cousin, get up! We’re going to see Grandma today.”

Ye Jiabao, who had just woken up, listlessly opened the guest room door, yawned, and before he could say anything, he was pulled out by Shen Tiantian.

“Let’s go, let’s go. Let’s take the car to see Grandma.”

Ye Jiabao shouted weakly:

“What’s the rush? Let me have a bite to eat first.”

Auntie Mu also chased after them and said:

“Eat something before you go. I’ll have the butler uncle prepare a car for you.”

The Shen family had full-time drivers, but one of them had taken a day off today, and they couldn’t find a replacement in time.

Shen Tiantian circled the dining table, like a little spinning top that never stopped, and asked anxiously:

“Then what should we do? Or… or I’ll drive.”

Shen Xiuze had just come down and couldn’t help but say:

“What are you going to drive? A rocking car?”

Shen Tiantian actually thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded his little head.

“I can. I know how to drive.”

Shen Tiantian was a regular at the amusement park’s rocking cars. Every time he went, he would contribute a two-yuan coin and drive steadily and well.

A layer of frost melted in Shen Xiuze’s eyes. He smiled, and it was like a cool breeze in early spring. He reached out and tapped Shen Tiantian’s head.

“A rocking car can’t fit so many people, and it can’t run far.”

Shen Tiantian covered his forehead, frowned, and thought, then what should we do?

Shen Xiuze saw the little one’s worried expression, his little face scrunched up into a little bun. He couldn’t help but lift the corners of his lips and said to Auntie Mu:

“I’ll drive them there.”

Auntie Mu was stunned for a moment. Shen Xiuze is so busy. Won’t it delay any work?

“But your company…”

A hint of a smile appeared in Shen Xiuze’s dark eyes, and his cold expression seemed to have been instantly washed away as he said in a warm voice:

“It’s fine. My work is already finished. I have a two-day vacation, so I can take Tiantian back to the countryside.”

The final work of Shen Xiuze’s branch company project had been completely finished a while ago.

Only then did Auntie Mu let out a sigh of relief. She nodded and quickly went to find the butler, telling him that he didn’t need to arrange for a driver.

Ye Jiabao, who was eating at the dining table, looked up at Shen Xiuze.

He inexplicably felt that Shen Xiuze seemed a little gentler than in his previous life.

But when he looked closely, Shen Xiuze still had that cold and noble expression, and there didn’t seem to be much difference.

He really couldn’t figure it out, so Ye Jiabao simply stopped thinking about these things and focused on eating.

After breakfast, it was a rare sunny day.

Through the car window, the sunlight shone down, making the inside of the car bright.

Shen Tiantian’s little face seemed to be covered in a layer of sparkling golden fragments. When his lashes blinked, he was like a colorful butterfly about to take flight.

He rubbed the light that fell on his face. It was a little itchy, and he stared out the car window without blinking.

It was a full three-hour drive from the Shen family to Grandma’s countryside.

Before, when Grandma took the bus, she had to get up at five in the morning to catch the earliest bus and wouldn’t arrive in the city until noon, where she would have to transfer to a bus or a taxi.

Shen Tiantian had set off late, and by the time they reached the village entrance, it was almost noon.

Shen Xiuze had been driving all the way, and his expression was inevitably a little tired.

Shen Tiantian had a sweet mouth. As soon as he got out of the car, he hugged his brother’s neck and coaxed him in a sweet and milky voice.

“Big brother, big brother, why are you so nice?”

Shen Xiuze knew that the little one was thanking him for driving over.

But being rubbed by Shen Tiantian’s little face, the warm skin pressed against his own, Shen Xiuze still couldn’t help but let out a light sigh, the corners of his mouth lifting.

His palm itched, and he reached out to ruffle Shen Tiantian’s fluffy little head.

“I know. Hurry up and get down. Go and find Grandma.”

Being charmed by the cute creature, Shen Xiuze’s voice softened a lot, and he seemed to have become the gentlest brother in the world.

Shen Tiantian smiled obediently, bounced down from Shen Xiuze’s arms, and ran in.

He shouted in his little voice:

“Grandma! Grandma, I’m here!”

Grandma was in the vegetable garden in the backyard, cutting cabbage. Hearing her little grandson’s voice, she looked up in confusion.

“Am I hearing things? Why do I hear someone calling me?”

Grandpa Qin was smoking a pipe. He also looked up, sitting on a small wooden stool, his expression also a little puzzled.

“I heard it too. Could someone have come to find you?”

Grandma felt that it was impossible.

If her younger daughter, Lin Shuang, hadn’t died, it was still possible that she would bring Tiantian to see her.

But now, only her elder daughter, Lin Xue, was left. Her little grandson, Ye Jiabao, was not close to her, and Tiantian had been taken away by the Shen family. How could he come to see her?

But Grandma couldn’t help but feel a trace of anticipation in her heart. She wiped her hands on her apron and walked out from the backyard.
