Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

"Didn't you say your grandfather was coming to meet us here?" asked Song Yu Han. They had been standing at the balcony for a while now but no one had entered there aside from the two of them.

Ran Xueyi was also worried but just as she was about to call her grandfather, Grandfather Ran sent a message to her first.

Grandpa: [I have to hurry back home because your grandma called me. I'm sorry I could not meet your husband.]

Ran Xueyi stared at his message for a few seconds before getting another message from Grandfather Ran.

Grandpa: [It's good to see you smiling brightly again. Now, I am certain you two are really in love and happy with each other.]

"What did grandpa say?" Song Yu Han looked at her phone screen and read the two messages that were sent to her.

"He saw us..." Ran Xueyi uttered. It was not a question, but a fact. Why else did her grandfather say she was smiling so happily? That could only mean he saw them but decided not to come forward.

But why did he do that?

Song Yu Han understood the meaning in her words and comforted her, "Grandpa must have watched us by the door. It must be true that grandma also called him to go back early."

Ran Xueyi could not disagree with that. Grandmother Ran was the boss at thier village mansion. What she said will be followed and obeyed by everyone without an exception.

Song Yu Han saw the little smile on the tip of her lips and he said, "Next time, let's go to your family village and visit them. It would be great to have Zhanzhan play with his grandparents as well."

Ran Xueyi nodded instantly, finding his idea a great one. By that time, she could also introduce her son to her grandparents and have Little Zhanzhan meet other children in the village who are of his age.

Then, Ran Xueyi suddenly thought of Patriarch Song and asked, "What about your grandpa? Should we bring Zhanzhan with us when we meet him?"

Song Yu Han became thoughtful. His eyes darkened before he shook his head, "No need to meet him."

"What do you mean?" Ran Xueyi felt something was amiss and directly asked.

Song Yu Han sighed, "I'll tell you when we get home. For now, let me hug you."

He hugged her tightly and placed his chin against the crook of her neck, smelling her unique scent mixed with Ran Xueyi's favorite perfume.

Her scent alone was enough to calm his mind and body, but there was another emotion stirring up. Song Yu Han was suddenly tempted to lick and bite her neck.

...

At the fountain, Little Zhanzhan was sitting on a bench. Earlier, he said he wanted to play with the other children, but in truth, he just wanted to be close to the fountain where the cool water was flowing and sparkling under the light of the moon.

The big bodyguard, who was instructed to look after the little boy, could not understand why the young boy was silently sitting there so obediently.

The bodyguard looked down on his wristwatch and saw that it had been 15 minutes and yet, the young boy still hadn't moved. Could it be that he was frozen to death because of the cold?

The bodyguard was worried and approached the young boy, but he was a step late.

A middle-aged man with a big belly protruding from his suit walked up to the little boy and said, "Pretty boy, are you alone? Do you want to come with big uncle and play?"

The young boy ignored the fat uncle and continued to stare at the fountain.

The fat uncle reached out his hand to touch the boy, but his wrist was grabbed by a tall man with a menacing look in his eyes.

"Please refrain from touching the little master, Mr. Lan," the bodyguard warned.

The fat uncle who was called Mr. Lan was startled by the bodyguard. But his stunned reaction was overwhelmed by the feeling of annoyance.

"You're just a bodyguard, who do you think you are to stop me?!" Mr. Lan shouted at him. "Let go of me!"

The bodyguard released his hand, but did not go away. He stood between Mr. Lan and the mysterious handsome young boy. He said, "Pardon me, Mr. Lan. But I was strictly ordered by Master Wang to guard this little master."

"By master Wang?" Mr. Lan was slightly shocked when he heard this. "Then, all the more you have to listen to me. Did you know that I'm your Master Wang's senior when we were young?"

"When we were at school, your master listened to my words every single time. Don't worry, I won't do anything to the boy, I just want to admire his pretty face." Mr. Lan made a step forward, trying to get closer to the pretty boy he had set his eyes on earlier.

When he saw the little boy running towards the fountain, Mr. Lan's interest piqued instantly. It was his first time seeing such a pretty and pale young boy that looked extremely like a doll.

The bodyguard stepped to stop him again. He heard about Mr. Lan's peculiar tastes and interests towards young children. But seeing it in person made him slightly disgusted.

Mr. Lan grew impatient when the bodyguard continued to stop him from advancing. The pretty boy was just a few steps from him and yet, he could not even reach him!

The most loathsome thing was that the pretty never looked in his way!

Mr. Lan could not hold it any longer and pushed the bodyguard hard to the side. He launched forward to grab the little boy but then, a hand suddenly grabbed the collar of his shirt and suit.

"And what is a wild animal trying to do to my son?"

Song Yu Han coldly swept his eyes at Mr. Lan's sorry state and continued, "Do you have a death wish?"

The bodyguard was relieved when he saw someone stepping forward to stop Mr. Lan, but he could not even enjoy those few seconds of relief as he recognized the man's face.

He could not help but feel his knees going numb and weak.
