Li Sheng was going to Room 1701. Feng Qi’s eyes didn’t seem surprised at all.
He curved his eyes at Li Sheng. His smile was so dazzling that Li Sheng, distracted, accidentally bent a corner of the room card in his hand.
“Once you’re there, can you help me get my wages?”
At Feng Qi’s words, Li Sheng’s deep eyes fixed on him. After a long moment, he finally spoke in a low voice: “I can.”
Feng Qi nodded. “When you get the money, I’ll treat you to a late-night snack.”
“Mm.”
Li Sheng responded and turned to leave.
He strode toward the main entrance of the Boling Hotel.
Feng Qi didn’t roll up the car window. He propped his head on his hand resting against the window, watching Li Sheng’s departing figure.
Only after Li Sheng’s figure completely disappeared did Feng Qi withdraw his gaze and take out the phone Li Sheng had given him.
In his phone gallery were some photos and videos of Feng Yuan that Li Sheng had sent him.
Feng Qi watched the videos of Feng Yuan—Feng Yuan eating, Feng Yuan dressing himself, and even the rare moment of Feng Yuan sitting quietly in the bathtub, playing obediently with his little rubber duck…
As he watched, the corners of his lips unconsciously curved into a smile.
His Yuan Yuan. Truly, the more he looked, the cuter he seemed.
“I wish we’d had a phone earlier,” Feng Qi suddenly murmured. “Then we could have taken more photos of Feng Yuan.”
When Feng Yuan was just born, the sharp-tongued Qiong Qi had mocked him, saying this little chubby phoenix with some bald spots didn’t have the elegance that phoenixes used to possess.
Luckily, little Feng Yuan was too young to understand words back then. Otherwise, Feng Qi feared he would have been so angry he might have ended up fighting Qiong Qi.
At that time, Feng Yuan’s appearance—plump and patchy—often left visitors pausing for a while before managing to force out a compliment: “This little phoenix is so chubby. You can tell he has a sturdy body just by looking.”
Feng Qi had long stopped bothering to argue with them.
Anyway, in Feng Qi’s eyes, newborn Feng Yuan was not ugly in the slightest. He was very beautiful.
His Feng Yuan was the most beautiful and adorable little phoenix in the world.
Flipping through the videos, Feng Qi came across one where Li Sheng appeared as well.
Li Sheng was holding his phone, cradling Feng Yuan, standing in front of a mirror.
Feng Yuan was asking him: “Big Daddy, did you get Yuan Yuan in the shot?”
Li Sheng gave a soft “Mm.”
In the video, the father still had that usual expressionless face, while the child was busy the whole time making a peace sign one moment, grinning as he made a heart shape with his little hands the next. He probably thought they were taking photos, not recording a video.
This one-minute-and-thirty-two-second-long video, Feng Qi watched over and over again.
“Looks like recognizing this father wasn’t a bad choice after all.”
Feng Qi murmured softly, “That way, I can be at ease.”
His worst assumption had been that Li Sheng would only provide Yuan Yuan with financial support but not the emotional companionship and comfort he needed.
But now, Li Sheng was not only generous in spending on Yuan Yuan, but also—
He was, little by little, giving Yuan Yuan fatherly love.
This result made him very satisfied.
The video kept playing.
Feng Qi watched it again. Relaxing back against the seat, his gaze fell on Li Sheng’s face in the video. “My judgment isn’t bad, after all.”
The person he had chosen in the past, looking at them now with his present eyes, still left him satisfied.
Feng Qi, relaxed in the car, kept watching the video. Not far away, however, the atmosphere in Room 1701 of the hotel was far from so leisurely.
The card, though bent at one corner, was still usable to open the door.
Dressed in shirt and trousers, Li Sheng carried himself with noble poise, as if he were attending a banquet. Taking the elevator, he went straight to the door of Room 1701.
Before swiping the card to enter, he removed the seven-figure wristwatch from his wrist, slipped it into his pants pocket, then unhurriedly rolled up his sleeves, revealing the firm muscles of his forearms.
Finally, he loosened a button of his shirt and raised his hand to swipe the door lock.
“Click—”
The sound of the lock opening.
Li Sheng pushed the door open and stepped inside. He was immediately greeted by the sight of several men in pajamas.
The room was filled with the scent of arousal-inducing incense.
Flushed with excitement, the men’s cheeks were tinged red. Some sat, some stood, all wearing smiles as they discussed the games they were about to play and who would be the first.
When Li Sheng entered, they all froze in unison.
This face of his. There was no mistaking it.
Among the men in loose pajamas, someone was the first to recognize him.
“President Li, why are you here? Did you come to the wrong room?”
Li Sheng walked forward step by step and asked, “This is 1701?”
“Yes, yes, it is, but you—”
The one who first recognized him, bewildered, tried to explain that they hadn’t invited Li Sheng.
The person they were waiting for tonight wasn’t Li Sheng, but rather a newly arrived beauty in the circle.
“Just now, when I came to pick up Feng Qi for dinner, he told me his wages for today hadn’t been settled yet. Someone told him to come here to collect them.”
Li Sheng stated his purpose unhurriedly.
Once those few sentences left his mouth, every man present instantly had a drastic change of expression.
Because the beauty they had been waiting for tonight was called Feng Qi. That very name they had just maliciously commented on.
Now, hearing Li Sheng’s words, a chill suddenly ran down their spines.
“President Li—”
One of them, though still flushed from the drugs, spoke with a trembling voice: “It wasn’t us. We didn’t intend to do anything to Feng Qi. It was Liu Chang. He’s the one who sent Feng Qi here.”
“President Li, we truly didn’t know Feng Qi was yours. This was completely an unintentional mistake on our part. Please, can you—”
Before the pleading words could even finish, Li Sheng had already grabbed the baseball bat leaning against the wall of the room.
It was unclear who had brought the bat, but it felt quite handy in his hands.
As Li Sheng had anticipated, the soundproofing of Room 1701 was excellent.
Occasionally, someone passed by in the hallway, but no one heard anything unusual coming from 1701.
After an unknown amount of time,
Li Sheng walked out of the room. The bat was no longer in his hands, and his hands looked a little wet, as if he had just washed them.
He left the door open.
Someone passed by the hallway again. This time, someone finally noticed the horrifying scene inside the room.
Screams rang out.
Someone wanted to call the police, but the few men lying in the pool of blood gritted their teeth and managed to say: “Don’t… don’t call the police!”
The men, all battered and miserable, not a single one of them wanted to alert the authorities.
It wasn’t entirely because they feared Li Sheng.
The truth was, they weren’t clean themselves.
Calling the police would bring them nothing but trouble.
The time Li Sheng spent entering the hotel was neither long nor short.
By the time he arrived, Feng Qi had already finished the porridge in the car.
The warm porridge, along with the comfortable seats that could be fully reclined for resting, had eased Feng Qi’s fatigue.
Li Sheng opened the car door, sat down beside him, and looked at him lying there. He asked, “Did you get the money?”
“Yes, I did.”
Feng Qi had received a transfer of twenty thousand yuan ten minutes ago, with the note stating it was payment for the shoot.
He lounged lazily, not getting up, and spoke to Li Sheng like this: “Thanks. Whatever you want to eat, I’ll buy it for you.”
Li Sheng glanced at the empty bowl of porridge and said in a flat voice, “I’m not hungry yet. Let’s go back first.”
Li Sheng owned a lot of property. In this city, he also had a residence.
The residence had long been arranged to be cleaned and prepared.
When Feng Qi entered, he could even smell the fragrance of fresh flowers.
He looked at the flowers in the vase on the table and raised an eyebrow. “Yuan Yuan really likes arranging flowers.”
Feng Yuan was a beauty-loving child.
Not only did he love beauty, but he also loved many beautiful things.
Sometimes, when he saw pretty little wildflowers by the roadside, he would carefully pick them, cut a plastic water bottle in half to make a small vase, fill it with water, and place the flowers inside.
“There’s a floral arrangement class. If he wants to learn, I can sign him up.”
“Better not. He’s busy every day. If he went to class, he probably wouldn’t be able to sit still.”
Li Sheng thought about it and agreed.
The two of them exchanged a glance, suddenly remembering the same thing.
Next month, Feng Yuan would start school.
From now until the first day of school next month, there are, at most, only ten days left.
“How are the kindergarten classes? Easy to handle?”
“I don’t know.”
Li Sheng truly didn’t know whether kindergarten classes were easy or not. He had never attended kindergarten himself.
Their family had private tutors.
“Forget it. Let Yuan Yuan try it first. Right now, he’s still really looking forward to kindergarten.”
On the street in front of the alley where they lived, there was a Hongxing Kindergarten.
When Feng Yuan used to scavenge for scraps, he had passed by there and clung to the railing, watching for quite a while.
When Feng Qi went to pick him up and saw this, the next day, he even went to speak to the teacher, wanting to ask if Feng Yuan could enroll.
Unfortunately, at that time, Feng Yuan was far too young/ He wasn’t even three years old yet, so he couldn’t attend kindergarten.
The two of them talked about Feng Yuan. With that topic, there was never an awkward silence.
After chatting for a while, Li Sheng went to the bathroom for a shower and came out in pajamas.
He had also prepared pajamas for Feng Qi.
Once they had both finished showering, Feng Qi lay on the sofa by the living room’s floor-to-ceiling window, not going back to the bedroom to sleep.
The topmost window of the floor-to-ceiling glass was left open.
A night breeze drifted into the living room, bringing a natural, refreshing coolness.
Li Sheng looked at the person on the sofa for a few seconds, then got up to fetch a blanket.
“Your body isn’t fully recovered yet. Be careful not to catch a chill.”
Feng Qi, wrapped in the blanket, had half his face covered, but the eyes that remained visible were still beautiful—beautiful and full of emotion.
Looking at his eyes, Li Sheng couldn’t help but slow his breathing.
“Are you going to sit here for a while?”
Wrapped in the blanket, Feng Qi shifted back slightly, leaving some space for Li Sheng.
Once Li Sheng sat down, Feng Qi stared at his face without blinking and asked, “Have you noticed that your face is getting redder and redder?”
Li Sheng: “……”
Li Sheng didn’t answer.
The wind outside still swirled in, drifting through the window. Wrapped in the blanket, Feng Qi still felt a little cold.
Silence surrounded them. On this night, the two adults shared the same breeze, yet whether their thoughts were aligned, no one could tell.
Time flowed slowly in the darkness.
Some people, in such a night, nurtured secret, unspeakable thoughts.
Meanwhile, a little child, on this same night, was also tearful and uncomfortable.
Feng Yuan, unable to escape Li Ting’s grasp, still had to take a bath.
After his bath, he didn’t want to share the big bed with Li Ting.
Li Ting had no choice but to prepare a small bed for him and put it in his own room.
Only after settling Feng Yuan did Li Ting go to the bathroom to wash himself. While giving Feng Yuan a bath, he had worked up a full sweat himself.
Just as he stepped into the bathroom, Feng Yuan had already climbed down from the small bed.
Feng Yuan could dress himself and put on his shoes.
It was just that when an adult was around, he liked to have them help him.
Now, with Li Ting in the bathroom, he put on his little shoes by himself and tiptoed quietly out.
He was very careful not to let Li Ting notice as he ran out.
All the lights in the villa were on.
Feng Yuan, afraid of the dark, felt less scared seeing the lights.
He hurried along with his short little legs toward the garden.
Soon, he reached the garden and crouched down by the base of a wall.
“Ugh.”
Feng Yuan, who had been holding it in until now, finally vomited against the wall.
He had been wanting to throw up for a while. Even during his bath just now, he had almost thrown up.
But he forced himself to hold it in.
Feng Yuan’s little brain was still very clever. He knew that feeling this unwell probably meant he had eaten something bad.
If Li Ting found out, next time he definitely wouldn’t take him to the snack street.
For the sake of being able to eat freely next time, Feng Yuan resolutely ran off by himself to vomit.
When he ran over to throw up, he even poured himself a cup of water.
“Ugh.”
Feng Yuan kept vomiting. His little face had turned somewhat pale. His dark, glossy eyes were misted over with moisture.
He was really miserable.
“Dad.”
Feng Yuan pouted. Whenever he felt bad, he wanted his Dad.
But he didn’t plan to tell his Dad about this.
Otherwise, no matter how good-tempered his Dad was, he would come and scold him. And Big Daddy—if Big Daddy found out, he would definitely forbid him from eating whatever he wanted outside.
For the sake of being able to indulge himself again later, Feng Yuan continued to vomit, tears welling in his eyes.
By the end, he was vomiting yellow liquid.
Feng Yuan had never thrown up like this before.
Although Feng Qi’s cooking wasn’t particularly tasty, it was healthy. He always took great care with his son’s diet.
Time passed slowly.
After vomiting a small puddle of yellow liquid, Feng Yuan still wasn’t finished.
He placed his little chubby hand on his round belly and felt it was still uncomfortable.
Just as Feng Yuan was still crouched on the ground, his legs numb, a car headlight suddenly shone on him.
Li Ting’s garden was located at the front, near the main gate.
By running here to vomit, Feng Yuan was in a spot where someone outside the gate could notice him.
Although his small figure wasn’t particularly eye-catching, the sounds of him vomiting and crying made it hard to ignore.
Li An had been watching this little figure for some time already.
He turned on the car headlights, got out, and walked to the gate.
Feng Yuan, illuminated by the light, also turned his head.
His tearful, beautiful little face was thus reflected in Li An’s eyes.
One big, one small. They met gaze across the gate.
Under Feng Yuan’s stare, click, Li An tore the locked gate open with his bare hands.
Feng Yuan: “!”
Feng Yuan’s eyes widened in fright.
In his little brain, he remembered what Officer Xiao Lin had said. That bad people might come into the house to abduct children.
Ignoring his discomfort, he tried to stand and run.
But his little chubby legs, cramped from squatting too long, wouldn’t support him.
“Little Uncle! Little Uncle!”
Before him, the unfamiliar man who had torn open the gate was stepping closer and closer.
Feng Yuan’s eyes were red as he loudly called for Li Ting. This time, he wasn’t crying from discomfort. He was crying from fear.
His legs were broken. He couldn’t move.
The unfamiliar man was still coming to grab him.
He was done for!
Seeing the little one crouched by the wall, tears streaming down his beautiful face, growing more and more scared, Li An spoke as he approached.
“I’m not a bad person. I’m the old butler of the Li family.”
Li An asked, “Can you tell me who you are?”
Feng Yuan clenched his chubby little fists, declared his identity, and even threatened fiercely: “I’m Yuan Yuan. My Big Daddy is Li Sheng. He’s really tall and very fierce. Don’t try to take me away, or my daddy won’t let you off.”
Li An: “……”
Li An: “Oh.”
Li An said calmly, “Too bad. I’m not afraid of your daddy. I’m here to take you with me.”
Such a small child, running around here alone to secretly vomit, and there wasn’t a single adult watching over him.
Li An thought to himself that since no one was watching over the little one, he might as well take the child back with him to keep an eye on him.
He continued walking.
After a few steps, he reached Feng Yuan and picked him up.
Feng Yuan didn’t want to be held.
“Waaah! You’re a bad person! I want Little Uncle!”
Feng Yuan struggled fiercely, his chubby little body leaning backward with all his might, refusing to be held properly by Li An.
Li An held him by his little chubby waist. Seeing how hard he was struggling, he had no choice but to try to calm him first: “Stop crying. Do you want to see your grandpa?”
“Your grandpa told me to come here.”
“Liar! Yuan Yuan won’t fall for that! Yuan Yuan is three years old. Won’t fall for it!”
The police station on Huasheng Street often called Feng Yuan to attend anti-fraud and anti-abduction classes.
Feng Yuan loved to go scavenging alone, so the police officers were very worried about him.
Even after attending many anti-abduction classes, Feng Yuan’s vigilance remained very strong.
He struggled while continuing to call for Li Ting.
Li An looked at him, paused for a few seconds, and simply carried him into the house.
Li Ting hadn’t even watched over the child properly.
Before leaving, he would need to talk with Li Ting.
As Li An carried Feng Yuan inside, the little boy gradually stopped struggling.
Because Feng Yuan realized—
If this person really intended to abduct him, he would be carried out of the house, not brought inside.
He stopped resisting and, with his tear-filled, beautiful eyes, carefully studied Li An.
“You… you really are Grandpa Butler?”
“Mm. I’ve been with your grandpa for decades. Do you want to see him?”
Feng Yuan did feel a little curious to see his grandpa. But he was also afraid that, just like Big Daddy had said, Grandpa might lock him up and never let him out again.
Li An noticed all the conflict and hesitation on the little boy’s face.
Seeing that they were about to go to the bedroom, Feng Yuan began to panic.
“Grandpa Butler…”
Feng Yuan tilted his soft little face up, his baby-like voice tinged with urgency as he pleaded, “Please don’t tell Little Uncle. Yuan Yuan just went out, okay?”
“Yuan Yuan is begging you.”
Feng Yuan had a very earnest way of asking. After finishing his plea, he even wiped his mouth clean, then gave Li An a little kiss.
Li An: “……”
