A Gorgeous Man Takes His Son to the City to Work 29

Chapter 29

Bai Qingyu slowly turned around, holding Cha Bao, and stood still, whispering a few words to Bai Xiaocha.

Changing his voice required divine power, so he remained silent. Anyway, Cha Bao could be his repeater.

Bai Xiaocha nodded and said to He Renyuan as he approached, “Uncle Boss, this is my uncle.”

For added emphasis, Bai Xiaocha added softly, “Really.”

The accidentally implied fake uncle: “…”

As soon as He Renyuan parked, he saw someone sprinting with Cha Bao. His first reaction was that it was a child abduction, disguised and wearing a wig to steal a child.

But when the person turned around, all his doubts and anger disappeared.

He Renyuan stared at the young man who looked like he had stepped out of a manga. The other party’s bright eyes, the same color and shape as Cha Bao’s, were fixed on him, giving him the illusion of time reversal, as if he had been gazed at like this for a long time.

Did they… know each other?

He Renyuan felt that he should and must dig out a corresponding name from his memory.

“Uncle Boss, my uncle doesn’t talk to strangers.”

He Renyuan’s fantasy was ruthlessly shattered by Cha Bao. Very well, they were strangers.

“Cha Bao, where’s your dad?”

Bai Xiaocha: “Dad…”

Bai Qingyu lowered his head and instructed him, “Dad went to Uncle Jiang’s house.”

Bai Xiaocha: “Dad went to Uncle Jiang’s house!”

He Renyuan, “Let’s get in the car first.”

The car behind honked impatiently, urging He Renyuan to drive away.

He Renyuan returned to the parking space and opened the back door.

Bai Qingyu thought for a moment and discreetly got in with the child.

A gasp of admiration came from the side, “Even the handsome man’s driver is incredibly handsome!”

“What driver? They’re clearly a couple, a family of three!”

“Are you blind? They’re both men!”

It was the first time He Renyuan had been mistaken for a driver, but he knew he wasn’t in a state to drive. The car started slowly, drove a hundred meters, turned onto a less crowded road, and parked on the side.

He shouldn’t have driven himself just to pick up Bai Qingyu and Bai Xiaocha at the same time.

He Renyuan made a call, saying concisely, “Come here.”

Come here? Who?

Two pairs of tea-colored eyes met in the back seat. He wasn’t calling the police, was he?

He Renyuan asked, “What’s your name? What’s your relationship with Bai Qingyu?”

Bai Xiaocha acted as the best repeater, “Uncle’s name is Bai Da Cha!”

Bai Da Cha, a name so casual it was suspicious.

He Renyuan stared at the person in the rearview mirror and said suddenly, “Aren’t you hot? Take off your mask.”

Bai Qingyu was indeed hot. He wasn’t used to wearing a mask, so he took it off, revealing a face that could topple nations.

He Renyuan subconsciously looked away, “Where are you from?”

The day Bai Qingyu fell from the ladder while picking tea, and he caught him, he vaguely remembered seeing a long-haired young man at the bottom of the cliff.

If Cha Bao’s uncle and Bai Qingyu were from the same place, not far from where he fell, then this person was very likely him.

“Three years ago, at the bottom of the Wuyi cliff, did you see an unconscious man?”

Bai Qingyu thought for a moment and shook his head firmly. Three years ago, he was dormant in the divine realm, not paying much attention to human affairs.

He Renyuan was like a young man who failed to pick someone up, “Think again.”

Bai Qingyu shook his head.

He Renyuan finally looked at his face in the rearview mirror again. The small mirror framed both Cha Bao and his uncle’s faces. Bai Xiaocha leaned against his uncle, and it was easy to find many similarities between their features, their blood relationship evident.

He suddenly felt a sense of loss, as if he had missed a step. The strong presence of Bai Xiaocha’s uncle indicated that besides Bai Qingyu, there was another legitimate guardian of Cha Bao in the world, Cha Bao’s biological mother, who would appear at some point in the future.

He wanted to keep Bai Qingyu and Cha Bao by his side. On what grounds? Because he used to be a lawyer and had fought for child custody?

The emotions echoing in his heart were split in two. Half was an inexplicable sense of unworthiness, sinking endlessly, and the other half was like boiling seawater surging up because of Cha Bao’s uncle suddenly appearing in front of him.

The conflicting emotions made He Renyuan grip the steering wheel tightly. Something wasn’t right, this was too conflicting, there must be something wrong.

[Cha Bao, can you call me Uncle from now on?]

[What’s an uncle?]

He Renyuan suddenly remembered his conversation with Cha Bao. Cha Bao didn’t even know what an uncle was before, and in just a few days, he had become as close to his uncle as a father and son?

Cha Bao had a good memory, he would never forget his real uncle. This person’s identity was suspicious, but he couldn’t possibly be Cha Bao’s uncle.

“Cha Bao, what’s an uncle?”

This question didn’t require his father’s guidance, Bai Xiaocha would answer, “Uncle is Dad—” A type of dad!

Bai Qingyu quickly covered Cha Bao’s mouth, changed his voice, and said loudly, his eyes glaring at He Renyuan, “You know Cha Bao only has a dad, what do you mean by asking this question?”

When being unreasonable, all you needed was momentum – a sentence suddenly appeared in Bai Qingyu’s mind.

What did it mean? It meant he was questioning this uncle’s identity!

He Renyuan wanted to retort, but being glared at by the beautiful man, he softened his tone, “I was just asking casually.”

Seeing He Renyuan back down, Bai Qingyu, for some reason, raised his eyebrows smugly. Don’t think that he was afraid of He Renyuan just because he changed his appearance. He was an immortal, how could a mere mortal’s eyes see through him?

He smiled, like a cotton rose blooming in the mountains, the only one on this mountain, all the sunlight and rain pouring down on him, just for him to flourish.

He Renyuan pressed down the rearview mirror and calmly took out his phone, dialing Bai Qingyu’s number.

Bai Qingyu nervously pressed his phone in his pocket. Luckily, he had muted it in advance.

He passed Cha Bao through the gap between the driver’s and passenger’s seats, “Cha Bao, your uncle doesn’t seem happy, comfort him.”

The back seat didn’t play by the rules. He Renyuan had to put down his phone and take Cha Bao, holding him on his lap.

Bai Xiaocha, “Uncle Boss, don’t you like Baby’s uncle?”

He Renyuan paused, “I don’t dislike him.”

Bai Xiaocha remembered someone saying his dad wasn’t good-looking this morning, so he asked Uncle Boss, “Is my uncle good-looking?”

He Renyuan reluctantly answered the little one, “Yes.”

While He Renyuan was entangled with Bai Xiaocha, Bai Qingyu moved to an angle where He Renyuan couldn’t see him and quickly sent a message to Jiang Libo. At noon, Jiang Libo called and said he was back in China and wanted to have dinner together. Bai Qingyu made an appointment for the weekend. Just now, when He Renyuan asked him where he was going, he could only think of Jiang Libo in a hurry.

[Professor Jiang, I have something to do. If Young Master He asks, please say I’m having dinner at your place.]

Professor Jiang was very understanding of workers occasionally needing to slip away: [Okay.]

Bai Qingyu smiled. Just as he straightened up, he saw He Renyuan holding the child with one hand and calling Jiang Libo with the other.

“Is Bai Qingyu at your place?”

Jiang Libo, “Yes.”

He Renyuan, “Let him answer the phone.”

Jiang Libo, “His clothes are dirty, he’s taking a shower. I’m in an online group meeting, sorry, I’ll hang up now.”

He Renyuan: “…” If he wasn’t so sure about Professor Jiang and Xu Zhao’s relationship, he would step on the gas right now.

A young man approached the driver’s seat and bent down to knock, “Mr. He.”

His name was Chen Shu, He Renyuan’s personal driver. He was told to get off and go home when they were still a block away from the kindergarten, and was called back to work in less than ten minutes. Luckily, he hadn’t gone far.

He Renyuan moved away from the driver’s seat, opened the back door while holding Bai Xiaocha, and said to the beautiful man sitting in the middle, “Move over.”

Bai Qingyu moved to the right, a small child was placed in the middle, and then He Renyuan also got in.

The spacious back seat suddenly felt crowded. Bai Qingyu felt something was wrong and whispered to Bai Xiaocha.

Bai Xiaocha tilted his head and listened for a while, then patted his cheek and said, “It’s too complicated, Uncle.”

Bai Qingyu had to say it himself, “Bai Qingyu is having dinner at the Jiang family and doesn’t have time, so he asked me to pick up Cha Bao. Since you’re here, I’ll leave Cha Bao to you with peace of mind. I still have work, I’ll be going now.”

He then reached for the door handle of the luxury car.

He Renyuan glanced sideways and saw that he had the same habit of opening the car door as Bai Qingyu.

Bai Qingyu pulled, but found that the door was locked, “Mr. Driver, open the door.”

The driver, Chen Shu, raised the rearview mirror that had been inexplicably pressed down. The moment he lifted it, a breathtakingly beautiful face appeared in the mirror. His fingers trembled, and he didn’t even hear clearly, “What, what?”

Just as Bai Qingyu was about to speak, he suddenly felt a weight on his head, a large hand ruffling his hair.

He turned to look at He Renyuan questioningly, his amber eyes like a cat that had suddenly been petted.

It was real hair, there were no signs of disguise. He Renyuan withdrew his hand, the feel of the hair too tempting. He rubbed it on his suit pants, getting rid of the smooth feeling, and looked ahead, “Nothing, I was just about to take Cha Bao to buy toys, you should come too.”

Bai Qingyu, “Cha Bao has a lot of toys, no need to buy more.”

He had placed another order on Pinxixi after receiving a batch of toys.

He Renyuan suddenly smiled, saying sarcastically, “Cha Bao’s uncle, haven’t you ever bought Cha Bao any toys?”

The housekeeper had said that the scooter was Bai Xiaocha’s first toy.

Bai Qingyu: “…”

He Renyuan, “As his uncle, I can’t make that kind of mistake.”

The driver quickly drove to a large toy store. It was He Renyuan’s first time there. When the staff asked, he directly applied for a membership card and topped it up with one hundred thousand yuan.

One hundred thousand… Bai Qingyu fidgeted, wanting to immediately transform back into his ordinary version and stop He Renyuan from paying.

He Renyuan took a shopping cart and put Bai Xiaocha in the child seat, “You can take whatever you like.”

Bai Qingyu was anxious, how could he refuse?

Bai Xiaocha never refused food, but he was only curious about toys, not interested in buying them. No toy was better than playing with mud, “Uncle Boss, what’s this?”

“A children’s drum set.” He Renyuan picked up the drumsticks and casually tapped the bass drum and snare drum, creating a cheerful rhythm.

Bai Qingyu, “Five thousand yuan, that can be exchanged for three hundred small cakes.”

“It’s too expensive, Baby’s not buying it.” Bai Xiaocha saw something else, “Uncle Boss, what’s this?”

He Renyuan, “A remote control airplane.”

Bai Qingyu, “Two thousand yuan, that can be exchanged for one hundred boxes of strawberries.”

Bai Xiaocha immediately switched sides to the strawberries, “The airplane is too expensive!”

“Uncle Boss, what’s this?”

“A remote control transforming car.” He Renyuan took a deep breath, “It’s only two hundred yuan, Cha Bao’s uncle, you better shut up.”

This time, before Bai Qingyu could come up with a corresponding agricultural product price, Bai Xiaocha said, “The car is too expensive!”

“Baby and Dad went to work at Uncle Spoon’s place, Dad has to work for a whole day to buy it.”

He Renyuan’s expression changed slightly, “What Uncle Spoon?”

Bai Xiaocha immediately gestured the process of him and his dad threading spoons at the factory. He described it like he had spent a day at an amusement park, the experience was amazing, “Uncle Boss can go too! There’s free food!”

He Renyuan listened and summarized, “Your dad took you to work as a temporary worker at a factory, earning two hundred a day?”

Bai Xiaocha said excitedly, “Baby didn’t drink water and earned two hundred.”

He Renyuan, “So busy you didn’t even drink water?”

Bai Xiaocha said embarrassedly, “I did drink some.”

He Renyuan felt a heavy sense of suffocation in his chest. He looked at Bai Qingyu, his eyes a bit fierce.

Bai Qingyu felt flustered from his gaze. He attributed his panic to being discovered by his employer that he was earning extra money during his employment. But he wasn’t Housekeeper Bai Qingyu now, so he said confidently, “What are you looking at me for? It was his dad who took him.”

Cha Bao, you’re a big leaky baby.
