A Country's
Rousing applause rang out, after some of the choir students finished performing. A boy among them looked towards the audience seats. A man waved at him. The boy-Li Huan Rui turned to the chair beside the man with a disappointed look.
After the show was over, Li Huan Rui was surrounded by teachers as well as the little girls. They tested how Li Huan Rui could lead the voice guide so well and her voice was so beautiful. Li Huan Rui only showed his smile, Li Huan Rui had tried hard to train in order to perform well for the sake of someone valuable to him but it was a pity that someone he was waiting for did not come.
"Little queen"
A handsome man wearing a black suit stelan approached Li Huan Rui. The female teachers were fascinated to see the man's good looks. They started to approach the man and praised how good Li Huan Rui was. The man-Li Yongfan smiled proudly at the praise for his son. Li Huan Rui grabbed the man's hand.
"Papa, let's go home "
Li Huan Rui did not want those teachers to behave flirtatiously on his papa. Li Yongfan nodded. He bid farewell to the teachers before carrying Li Huan Rui and taking her to the car . The little Rui only showed a sullen expression throughout the journey.
"Is mom busy working? "
Li Huan Rui felt sad because her mother did not come.
'Rui, your mama is very busy. You have to understand that and also, didn't papa come for you"
"But, Rui also wants mama to see Rui. Rui wants to hear mama praise Rui like the others "
Li Huan Rui lowered his pitch sadly. Li Yongfan was aware of his son's grief, he understood the disappointment his son felt. Li Yongfan had previously spoken to Shen Fengyin about this but Shen Fengyin had an important job that he could not leave behind.
"Rui, next time if Rui shows up again, papa will try to persuade your mama
Really papa? "
Li Yong Fan nodded. Little Rui smiled brightly. Li Yongfan also smiled at his son.
"Papa, can we go somewhere before we go home? "
"Sure, where does Rui want to go? "
Shen Fengyin let out a tired sigh, there are many things for her to work on. The woman took her phone and saw the chat notification coming in. Shen Fengyin opened her wechat account, Shen Fengyin frowned looking at the video Li Yongfan had sent. Shen Fengyin pressed the play button.
The video shows a boy in the front row. The boy smashed the choir with his beautiful voice. Shen Fengyin focused her gaze on Li Huan Rui, she did not expect her son to have any talent in singing and now her son had grown increasingly handsome and.
Shen Fengyin turned off the video, it had been one year that Shen Fengyin had avoided contact with her son. Every time Shen Fengyin saw Li Huan Rui, she was always reminded of that man. Little Rui had a face so similar to Li Yongsheng's. Every time Shen Fengyin recalled the man, only the pain she felt.
"Young master, you can't get in. CEO Shen is busy "
“ I just want to meet mom. I won't bother him "
"But, young master... "
Li Huan Rui barged into Shen Fengyin's room. His gaze was instantly directed at the beautiful woman who had a cold expression.
"Mama "
Li Huan Rui smiled brightly looking at Shen Fengyin, it had been a long time that she had not seen her mother.
"Huan Rui, what are you doing here? "
"Of course Rui's here to meet mama "
"Mama still has a lot of work, better Huan Rui go home"
"Rui won't bother you. Rui will just shut up and wait until mom finishes work then we can go home together "
Li Huan Rui walked towards the sofa. His little hands were trying to grab the sofa and trying to sit down. Shen Fengyin sighed at the behavior of her son.
"Huan Rui, you better go home. The office is not suitable for small children "
"Rui won't come home if mom doesn't come home with Rui "
"Huan Rui, do you dare to refute mama now? "
Shen Fengyin's brows furrowed signaling anger.Li Huan Rui's face turned pale looking at her mother's anger, yet the boy did not move in the slightest from the sofa.
"Rui will stay here "
The boy crossed his arms around his chest. Shen Fengyin sighed looking at her stubborn son.
"Huan Rui, isn't papa waiting for you outside? Don't you feel sorry for papa? "
Rui asked papa to leave Rui
Shen Fengyin had no more reason to reject her son. He let Li Huan Rui do what he wanted.
6 Hours later
Li Huan Rui yawned a few times. But the little man tried to endure his drowsiness.
If you're sleepy then go home. Mama will call papa to soften you up
"No. No, Rui is not sleepy "
Li Huan Rui tried to open her eyes, but she was so sleepy that she could no longer bear it and closed her eyes. His little body was lying on the sofa. Shen Fengyin turned her eyes away from her document and looked at her son.
He stood up and approached the little man, his hand slowly outstretched about to touch the little guy but he stopped him, his hand just hanging in the air. Shen Fengyin retracted her hand and clenched her hand. He only looked at the little man for quite a while before finally picking up his phone and contacting Li Yongfan.
"Hallo, Fan's brother. Please pick up Li Huan Rui "
"Why didn't you drive her home? Didn't you go home again? "
"Um, I still have a lot of work to do. I'll stay at the office tonight. So, please bring the little one home "
"Yinyin, don't push yourself and you'd better spend some time with Rui. After all, he is your son.... "
"I knew. Brother, I'm very busy. I don't have time to hear your scolding. Brother just needs to pick up Li Huan Rui "
"All right, I'll take him home "
Shen Fengyin then turned off the call, she looked at her son once again who looked uncomfortable with his position. Her hands were stretched out again but again she felt hesitant to show her tenderness to her son. Shen Fengyin sighed then returned to her work desk and focused on her documents.
30 minutes later, Li Yongfan came to Shen Fengyin's office. The office was deserted, probably because it was home. Li Yongsheng headed straight to Shen Fengyin's room, he knocked on the door slowly before pushing him away. His gaze was directed at Shen Fengyin who was busy reading a document.
"Yin Yin "
Brother Fan, you can take him
Shen Fengyin pointed towards Li Huan Rui who was asleep on the sofa.
"Yinyin, are you seriously not coming home today? Tomorrow is little Rui's birthday. He'd be disappointed if you didn't come "
"I'll send her a gift
Yinyin, Rui would definitely want your presence more than a reward. Yinyin, you can't be cold to her. He's your son, you can't treat Rui like Li Yongsheng"
"Sister, can you not say that name? "
His heart ached every time he heard the name of the man made him remember the past.
"Yinyin, i.... "
Big brother, little man will not feel comfortable if the longer you sleep on the sofa. Can we stop this debate and you can quickly bring the little one home
Li Yongfan sighed. He immediately walked towards Li Huan Rui then carried her.
"Yinyin, I know you hate that guy but you can't hate your son. Didn't you yourself want to keep him back then, then why are you ignoring him now? "
Shen Fengyin did not say anything.
"Mama"
Li Huan Rui said so while his eyes were still closed.
"Look, even when he's sleeping he calls you. Yinyin, Rui loves you so much even though you always ignore her. He always expects you, at least you can spare a little time for him "
Li Yongfan then walked out after waiting for that. Shen Fengyin was speechless thinking about what Li Yongfan said before finally returning to focus with his work.
"Mama"
Li Huan Rui woke up from her tudur, she looked around her room. Li Huan Rui immediately ran out and shouted to his mother.
"Mama"
"Young master, Madam still hasn't come home "
Nanny Su held back the little man who kept running.
Li Huan Rui felt disappointed, she failed to persuade her mother to go home.
"Young master, sir is already waiting for you for breakfast "
"I don't want breakfast. I won't eat until mom gets home "
Li Huan Rui ran back to his room and closed the door loudly. Nanny Su felt worried, she immediately followed her young master.
"Young master, you should eat at least a little "
"No "
"Young master, have I prepared cake for your birthday? Don't you like chocolate cake? "
There was no reply from Li Huan Rui. Nanny Su sighed, she went downstairs and reported to her master.
"Master, the young master doesn't want to go out for a meal before the madam comes home "
Li Yongfan sighed.
"I'll try to persuade him "
Li Yongfan headed to Li Huan Rui's room.
"Little Rui, open the door. Come out for breakfast, after that we'll cut your birthday cake"
"No, Rui won't be out before mama gets home"
"Little rui, your mama sent you a gift. Don't you want to open it? "
"No, Rui doesn't want a gift. Rui just wants mama "
Li Yongfan sighed, He has no idea since when his little Rui became stubborn like this. Li Yongfan picked up his phone and contacted Shen Fengyin but instead the operator replied.
Shen Fengyin was still struggling with her laptop, it was a day off that she should be able to go home but she did not want to leave her job. Moreover, he must handle the files that he must submit to the client. Shen Fengyin could not give up any important tasks to her secretary or assistant.
"Ah, CEO Shen is still working on the weekend? "
A blond woman walked into Shen Fengyin's room.
"Jenny Shen, what are you doing here? "
"I just took the files that were left behind. I didn't expect that there was anyone other than me in the office "
Jenny Shen sat on the sofa and crossed her long legs.
"Aren't you going home? Isn't it the birthday of the little nephew? "
"Yes, but I'm very busy. I can't celebrate a birthday with her, after all there is big brother Fan who will accompany her "
"Little Rui must be disappointed "
"Jenny, how's our proposal going? Does CS company agree to cooperate with our company? "
"Yes, I just got her approval email last night "
"Good be "
Shen Fengyin was delighted.
"Have you had breakfast? What if I buy you breakfast as a celebration "
"Can I choose an expensive restaurant? "
'Of course "
Jenny Shen smiled, rarely will this cousin be generous.
"All right, come on "
Jenny Shen stood up and was about to walk towards the door.
"Where are you going? "
"Of course it's out, aren't we going to eat at the restaurant "
"We'll eat here. Can you order food? "
"What's? Yinyin, how can we eat at the office? The atmosphere will be different, why don't we go to the restaurant directly?"
"I still have a lot of work to do
Can you leave your job for a minute? You're the boss why not hand it over to your secretary or assistant "
"Yes, yeah, okay. I'll go with you but you have to finish my job. The afternoon should be finished "
"What why am I? "
"Didn't you ask me to leave my duties to someone else."
" You're the deputy CEO, right? So, what's wrong if I hand it to you "
"Well, fine, you don't have to leave your job. We can eat in the office "
Jenny Shen didn't want her weekend time to be spent with those documents let alone this perfect cousin of hers she would definitely ask her to do a lot of revisions if they weren't appropriate. Jenny Shen picked up her phone and ordered some food.
Li Yongfan was in his study doing his work but he felt uneasy. Li Yongsheng looked towards the watch in his hand. Li Yongfan walked out of his study and headed to Li Huan Rui's room.There Nanny Su was still trying to persuade little Rui.
"Young man, it's lunch time
Don't want "
"Little Rui still won't come out? "
"Yes young master"
Li Yongfan sighed, it seemed like he had to bring Shen Fengyin home. Li Yongsheng went to his room to pick up the car keys.
Jenny Shen felt annoyed that Shen Fengyin was still busy struggling with her laptop while she ate alone.
"Cousin, may I bring this food home "
"Yes, it's up to you "
Jenny Shen pouted, eating with her cousin was no different than eating alone. At least if he eats at home, he can watch Korean dramas so it is not as quiet as eating at the office. Jenny Shen packed her food.
"Thank you for treating me, see you cousin "
Jenny Shen was about to open the door, but someone first opened the door.
"Brother Fan "
Li Yongfan did not pay attention to Jenny Shen and passed Jenny Shen just like that.
"Yinyin, you have to go home "
Shen Fengyin was shocked by Li Yongfan's sudden arrival.
"Sister Fan, I can't. I still have a lot of work. I'll be home later "
"can't. Yinyin, you need to go home. You don't want anything to happen to little Rui do you? "
"Brother Fan, what happened to my cute niece "
Li Yongfan had just realized the existence of Jenny Shen.
"Jen, are you here? "
"Yes, didn't you see it. I'm right in front of you. Brother, what happened to little Rui "
He had not refused to go out since morning and refused to eat
“What? Cousin, you need to get home
I-i didn't... "
Li Yongfan suddenly carried Shen Fengyin ala bridal.
"Sister Fan "
"No rejection "
The two of them left Jenny Shen who was still standing at the door.
