Qin Nanyu felt like recording what he heard to let Ji Weitian listen to it.
Was this even a child? Doing things no normal person would do every day and talking to him about childhood…
Qin Nanyu held his phone in one hand, tugged at his tie with the other, and maintained a composed demeanor as he spoke, "Help me find out what storybooks a four-year-old boy might like, and buy a few for me. I'll check them out tomorrow... or when I have time."
The butler on the other end of the call was silent for a moment, staring at the phone in shock as if doubting whether it was truly Qin Nanyu speaking.
Or perhaps he was just hearing things.
Usually, other dads and their sons have deep father-son ties, but when it came to Qin Nanyu, it was like bitter enemies!
If it weren't for the DNA test report, the butler would have doubted whether they were father and son or foes.
Everyone would think it was unbelievable that Qin Nanyu suddenly cared about his son.
"Hello?" Qin Nanyu's voice came through again, pulling the butler back to reality, who hurriedly responded, "Yes, I'll go ask right away."
Thinking about it, the butler still found it too surreal and couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Yu, are you really planning to tell the little young master a story?"
Qin Nanyu: "..."
This shocked reaction, this amazed tone... Qin Nanyu suddenly couldn't help reflecting on whether he was truly too cold towards his son, after all, that annoying brat was just a little kid.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone softened somewhat, "Just buy them when I tell you to, and also remind him to go to bed early."
When he finished speaking, he seemed to think he was establishing his benevolent father nature and asked another question, "How did Qin Morui behave today? Did the kindergarten teacher say anything?"
"Well…" The butler hesitated.
"Did he cause any trouble?" Qin Nanyu was taken aback.
"No, no!" The butler quickly explained, "The little young master was very well-behaved. Teachers and classmates at the kindergarten really like him. It's just that today the teacher assigned a homework project for parents and kids to complete together called 'My Wish'."
Qin Nanyu sneered, not needing to ask to know what his son would say, and confidently asserted, "He wants a mom again?"
"The little young master has changed his wish." The butler swallowed and braced himself to speak, "This time, he said his wish is to have magic."
"Childish." Qin Nanyu couldn't help but laugh, the smile on his lips not lasting more than a second. Suddenly recalling Qin Morui's intelligence, it was impossible for him to have such a naïve daydream. Sensing something unusual in the butler's nervous tone, his expression darkened.
"What does he want magic for?"
The butler closed his eyes and replied word by word, "The little young master said he wants to make his daddy disappear."
Qin Nanyu: "..."
Qin Nanyu could almost envision the scene, a little person holding a magic wand, spinning and jumping as he pointed it at him with determination, and poof, he was gone. Then, with arms akimbo, he laughed triumphantly, declaring his victory.
Qin Nanyu arrived at the parking lot, opened the car door, and sat inside, "Forget the storybooks, buy me a cane, one that won't break!"
Butler: "..."!!
-
Qin Nanyu's ghost story might have been toxic.
Ji Weitian slept fitfully, dreaming all night of being captured by a ghost with wild hair and fangs. The ghost was squeezing her neck so tightly she couldn't breathe.
Ji Weitian struggled fiercely, waking up from the nightmare to find no ghost, just a little Glutinous Rice Dumpling, plus a reckless fat cat, both lying on her chest asleep.
