Chapter 64
For He Renyuan’s birthday, he invited his parents and friends. Even the busy He Ying took time off to attend.
She had been working so much she forgot whose birthday it was and asked her assistant to buy a gift, saying it was Cha Bao’s birthday. Now, she walked in holding a toy car, her expression unchanged.
She said stubbornly, “You don’t lack anything, this is for your son.”
Normally, He Renyuan would have mocked her for her poor memory, but today’s President He was surprisingly good-tempered, “Thank you, Aunt, you gave me the biggest gift this year.”
If it weren’t for He Ying, Da Cha and Xiao Cha didn’t know how long they would have wandered in the city. Bai Qingyu couldn’t find a job with room and board, with his personality, he would probably have slept in the park with his child.
He Renyuan often felt a lingering fear, he, a mortal with a short lifespan, might have missed his wife and child forever.
The family was gathered, the friends hadn’t arrived yet. He Renyuan asked Bai Qingyu to take Cha Bao to the kitchen to check on the pig’s feet. He gathered the three elders and officially announced Cha Bao’s identity.
“Cha Bao is my biological son, also Bai Qingyu’s biological son. I let him down before, forgot him, thankfully my aunt helped me find him.”
He Wangzhong and Shu Mei, seeing He Renyuan’s whipped behavior during his hospitalization, vaguely suspected there was no “uncle.”
Shu Mei and He Ying even secretly investigated the possibility of male pregnancy and got ambiguous results, neither officially confirmed nor completely denied.
Shu Mei told He Wangzhong, and he silently accepted Bai Qingyu as his “daughter-in-law” after three days.
His lonely son, disliked by everyone, suddenly had a beautiful wife and a lovely child falling from the sky, what a bargain.
He Wangzhong, “I already know, you think it’s a big secret?”
He Ying chuckled, “I think A Yuan just found out.”
He Renyuan: “…”
The doorbell rang, and the housekeeper went to welcome the guests. Professor Jiang, Zhu Yiqing, and other friends also arrived with gifts.
He Renyuan greeted them with a smile. Zhu Yiqing was flattered, a man with a wife had changed so much, he wasn’t cold and indifferent to him anymore.
Bai Qingyu brought out the pig’s feet and placed them on the table. Since it was a formal occasion, he didn’t let Cha Bao taste them in the kitchen first.
Bai Xiaocha’s hands were clean now, suitable for hugging.
Zhu Yiqing, seeing Cha Bao for the first time, decided to abandon his friend, “Uncle will be your brother from now on.”
Whoever wanted to be brothers with He Renyuan could be, he chose the cute stand-in baby!
Bai Xiaocha said politely, “Brother Uncle!”
Zhu Yiqing, “Ai, Cha Bao is so well-behaved, Uncle will invest in the catering industry next.”
Bai Xiaocha’s tea-colored eyes shone with happiness, “Wow, Uncle is so amazing.”
He Renyuan, “Forget it, don’t be scammed by franchises.”
Zhu Yiqing pouted. Which friend would be such a wet blanket? It was obvious who was better.
Ding-dong—the doorbell rang again.
The housekeeper was puzzled, all the invited guests had arrived. He went to open the door, and it was the courier from the villa area, delivering a document addressed to “Bai Qingyu.”
“Qingyu, your package.”
Bai Qingyu took it, “It should be my ID card.”
He opened it and saw his new ID card.
He had been waiting for the new ID, that’s why he hadn’t gotten the marriage certificate with He Renyuan yet.
In Bai Qingyu’s opinion, they had already paid their respects in the divine realm, witnessed by heaven, earth, and the tea deities, they were already married.
But He Renyuan insisted on going through the human legal process, he really wanted the marriage certificate. He coaxed Bai Qingyu into getting a new ID card with his real appearance, which took a lot of paperwork.
He Renyuan carefully examined Bai Qingyu’s new ID card. They had taken their wedding photo, “Let’s get the certificate tomorrow.”
Birthday today, marriage certificate tomorrow, Children’s Day the day after tomorrow, so many happy occasions. In ancient times, the emperor would grant amnesty for these days.
Bai Qingyu, “Okay, I’ll tell Old Man Deng.”
Bai Qingyu used to be casual, not reporting anything, whether to Old Man Deng or He Renyuan.
But now he felt that reporting wasn’t a bad thing.
If he hadn’t decided to be with He Renyuan on his own, without even telling Old Man Deng, his amnesia wouldn’t have been so complete. If Old Man Deng knew he was raising a man in the divine realm, at least he could have reminded him when he took Cha Bao out.
Then he could have found He Renyuan earlier, saving him three years of anxiety.
Insomnia was very uncomfortable, so He Renyuan’s temper worsened, becoming a bad-tempered good person.
Old Man Deng received Bai Qingyu’s call, as if he had known this day would come, and only cared about one question, “Do they know that Cha Bao is your son?”
He couldn’t just find a new dad in the city and deny his old dad’s identity.
Bai Qingyu said, “They know.”
Old Man Deng, “That’s good, if anyone acts differently before and after marriage, come home, Old Man Deng will sharpen the knife for you.”
After reading the ancient book, Old Man Deng’s attitude towards scumbags was very extreme.
From Bai Qingyu and Bai Xiaocha, you could see that tea deities were naturally kind and soft-hearted. That pitiful ancient tea deity had to go through so much before becoming ruthless enough to establish the amnesia restriction.
Luckily, Bai Qingyu was luckier, He Renyuan’s wealth meant he didn’t need anything from Bai Qingyu.
Since He Renyuan’s empty-handed visit last time, Old Man Deng had been receiving packages from Nancheng every few days. He Renyuan wanted to send him a whole villa to show his sincerity.
Bai Qingyu smiled and hung up the phone, looking at the slightly nervous He Renyuan.
Bai Qingyu had developed a small habit. When observing He Renyuan, he always looked at his lips first, they best reflected a person’s condition.
But He Renyuan always misinterpreted it as wanting to kiss.
“Wife, did Old Man Deng agree?”
Bai Qingyu, “Yes, he agreed.”
Old Man Deng couldn’t influence the tea deity’s will, but He Renyuan still cared about Bai Qingyu’s family’s opinion. It was like a mirror, if Old Man Deng was dissatisfied, it must mean he wasn’t doing well enough, he needed to reflect.
He Renyuan, “Then we’ll get the certificate tomorrow?”
Bai Qingyu nodded reservedly.
On May 31st, on the Shu He Group’s internal forum, a hot post quickly overshadowed the previous milk tea thread with over a thousand replies.
[Does anyone not know that President He and the beautiful man got married?!?!]
[I know! The secretary’s office sent gift boxes! The whole company got one!]
[I know! There was a gift box on my desk this morning, President He is so thoughtful, even printed the date, almost printed the marriage certificate number too.]
[Who understands my shock when I saw “damaging other people’s marriage, violating public order and good morals” at the bottom of the box!]
[Our boss is indeed a former lawyer, I suspect he even wanted to print it on the top, but Madam stopped him.]
[This is a warning to keep our eyes to ourselves, such strong possessiveness.]
[Madam hasn’t been at the milk tea shop these past few days, I miss him.]
[Ahhh, President He, I will follow you! Your wedding gift box is even better than the most luxurious wedding I’ve attended. The tea inside is so expensive!]
[How much? Just asking, I don’t want to sell it too cheap on Xianyu.]
[President He is so generous, I admit I spoke too loudly before, you’re the boss, more public displays of affection like this, please!]
[Seconding 99.]
[Congratulations President He, wishing you a long and happy marriage.]
[Remember to have Madam’s milk tea today! Free 50% off coupons for Cha Bao Restaurant! I saw the pictures online, I’m going to borrow a child to go.]
On Children’s Day, Cha Bao Restaurant grandly opened.
“I heard that a rich man opened it specifically for his only grandson. No need to worry about the ingredients, a rare child-friendly restaurant.”
With this rumor, parents with children were all eager to try it and see how much the rich man valued his grandson.
On the opening day, only those with coupons or a limited number of on-site reservations could enter.
He Renyuan, holding his son with his right hand and his wife’s hand with his left, arrived at the restaurant entrance.
Cha Bao saw a large screen at the entrance, with customers stopping to take pictures.
Bai Xiaocha, “Dad, what’s this?”
Bai Qingyu read the words on the screen, “Facial similarity discount, what does it mean?”
He Renyuan explained, “The more you look like Cha Bao and you, the bigger the discount.”
Bai Xiaocha had already run over and was staring at it curiously. There was a small hand icon on the screen. Bai Xiaocha pressed his hand against it, then his face was framed, beep, beep, beep, after a three-second countdown, a cute and lively voice announced—
“Congratulations, little one, free meal! One companion eats free, everything is free, come and dine!”
Three consecutive “free” stunned Bai Xiaocha. After a while, he said excitedly, “Dad! Free!”
He Renyuan said with surprise, “Cha Bao’s meal is free!”
A customer, startled by the lucky baby, turned around to see who it was, then saw their CEO and young master: “…”
What else could it be besides free? Wasn’t this opened by your father and grandfather?
He Renyuan nudged Bai Qingyu, “You try too.”
Bai Qingyu stood in front of the screen.
The next second, a slightly more mature, sweet voice announced, “Congratulations, sir, free meal, one companion eats free…”
Bai Xiaocha’s jaw dropped, surprised again, “Dad’s also free!”
“Dad, you try too.”
He Renyuan obediently stood in front of the screen and got a 30% discount. He smiled.
Bai Xiaocha: Oh, Dad only gets a 30% discount?
He Renyuan bent down, “It’s okay, Dad will eat Cha Bao and Dad’s leftovers, that’s free.”
Bai Xiaocha’s eyes lit up, “Baby will get Dad lots of food!”
This screen became Cha Bao’s favorite toy. While waiting for the food, he ignored the other toys in the restaurant and loved running to have his face scanned.
“Oh! Baby is free again!”
He Renyuan patiently played with him.
Bai Qingyu was slightly puzzled, “So this screen is just for Cha Bao to play with?”
He Renyuan understood Cha Bao’s psychology too well, he would definitely enjoy this meal.
He Renyuan didn’t tell Bai Qingyu his original intention and nodded, “Is it fun?”
Bai Qingyu, “Then why don’t you make it free for yourself too?”
He Renyuan paused and could only confess. He used this silly method to ensure his wife and child could always eat for free at Cha Bao Restaurant.
“I’m so stupid, the machine told me I got a 30% discount before I realized I looked like Cha Bao.”
Bai Qingyu comforted him, “It’s okay, I didn’t notice either.”
He Renyuan, “It’s not okay, you’ll be punished tonight.”
Bai Qingyu: ???
