President, Please Be Careful

With a click, the main door opened. From inside, a small shadow slipped through the door and ran into the guest's embrace.

"Grandmother! Grandma!"

“Oh, my dear grandson. Come and hug Grandma.” Duan Yarong grabbed the child who was running around on his arm and lifted him off the ground.

Despite the fact that they had just spent an afternoon together, the grandmother and granddaughter got along well, as if they had known each other for years. So much so that Zhao Youlin became a little envious of the intimacy of the two.

And because of that, Duan Yarong felt a connection with the boy and liked him.

Zhao Youlin followed Joy as she watched the two embrace. "Hi Mom," he said with a smile as his eyes softened.

He then looked up to see Zhao Shunrong standing behind Duan Yarong. He was suddenly at a loss for words and unsure what to call him.

Duan Yarong seemed to feel Zhao Youlin's discomfort and looked at her strangely. “You just called me mom. Don't tell me you won't call him your father?" He said, dissatisfied with Zhao Youlin's lack of response.

Zhao Youlin was very unfamiliar with the word 'Dad'. He was an orphan, who never knew what his parents looked like.

Even after he was adopted, his family consisted of only a mother and no father. His father, you could say, had never existed in his life more than twenty years.

After the rebirth, the owner of this body no doubt had a father, but he never took Zhao Shunrong seriously, for no apparent reason other than that he was unworthy.

The man left his own daughter for the sake of his lover and illegitimate son, and even killed his wife for the sake of the woman. He was not worthy to be his father in any way.

That reckless man should not have needed to fill the space in his heart that had always been there, but now…

Zhao Youlin glanced at the towering and formidable man in front of her, and the thought of calling her by that title made her feel a little ...

With the fact that Zhao Shunrong had spent so much time in the business world, he was able to recognize the conflict in Zhao Youlin's eyes. "It's okay, just call me Uncle, there's no need to force it" he added after exchanging glances with Zhao Youlin for some time.

Zhao Youlin was a little surprised as she looked straight into the man's eyes, and she was surprised by the fact that she had found understanding in her eyes.

What the hell is going on? This man's attitude seems to have changed compared to yesterday. Did Duan Yarong say something to him the night before?

After all, Zhao Youlin was a little confused by the acceptance this cold and stern-looking man had shown her.

Unknowingly, she recalled the picture she saw last night while climbing the stairs, where two adults were carrying a child with them.

Perhaps, to become a family, one would sometimes have to let go of some things. Doesn't it feel like being a true family, trusting each other, tolerating each other, and leaning on each other?

After some thought, Zhao Youlin pursed her lips, finally facing Zhao Sunrong and gently called out. "Dad…"

Although this was Zhao Youlin's first time as a daughter, it was also Zhao Shunrong's first time becoming a father, so he took his time just to respond with a single word. “Mm.”

Duan Yarong, who was watching from the sidelines the entire time, tried hard not to laugh. While most people would not be able to catch anything from the cold face of Zhao Shunrong, as his wife for more than twenty years, the, how could he not be aware of the panic hidden under the cold facade Zhao Shunrong had installed?

“Alright, what is a group of people doing blocking the front door like this? We will go in for a chat,” Duan Yarong spoke just in time to break the awkward tension between the two. Zhao Shunrong and Zhao Youlin quietly sighed in relief.

As if he had woken up from a dream, Zhao Youlin immediately escorted the two to her home.

Conversely, some people feel the distance between them is reduced as a result of recent episodes.

"Oh right, this is your bag, Youlin," Duan Yarong said as she sat with Joy in her arms. When he saw Zhao Youlin walking with a cup of tea, only he remembered the reason for coming and asked Zhao Shunrong to hand Zhao Youlin's bag to him.

The briefcase? Zhao Youlin paused for a moment, only then did she remember the bag she had left in Duan Yarong's room the day before.

He saw Zhao Shunrong pull out a handbag from behind his back as he followed Duan Yarong's line of sight. It was such a strange sight to see Zhao Shunrong, a serious man, carrying a graceful rose-colored handbag.

But you can tell Duan Yarong did it on purpose because she was secretly sneering when she saw Zhao Shunrong, who was feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Zhao Youlin was surprised to see the noble and graceful lady's mischievous side, or, in other words, the couple's unique pleasure.

While Zhao Shunrong handed the bag to Duan Yarong, he saw Zhao Youlin's delicate expression from the corner of his eyes, and he thought his role as the head of the family was being threatened. But alas, the one who tortured him was his beloved wife, so he pretended not to notice because he could do nothing.

Zhao Youlin and Duan Yarong looked at each other and smiled. While moving to receive the bag from Duan Yarong, Zhao Youlin asked, "So, after I left yesterday ..."

He was a little rash yesterday. On the one hand, it was because he wanted to defend his flaws, and on the other, because he was fed up with the way that his cousin called looking at him.

Undeniably, Zhao Youlin was very tempted to just stab Zhao Yifei in the eye at that moment, but she knew Uncle Zhao was still sitting in the gazebo.

Despite the fact that Uncle Zhao was only a housekeeper, he had worked for Master Zhao since he was young, and his prestige in the Zhao Family was comparable to that of Mr. Butler in the Mu Family.

Even though he was also serving the other masters in the Zhao Family, he had always followed Master Zhao's orders, and if Master Zhao asked, he would reveal the truth without hesitation.

And if Sun Fengzi decided to check on him, it would only be a slap on his face.

However, there were too many people there yesterday, so even though he was a rational person, he was worried that it would cause trouble for Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong.

But Duan Yarong had mistakenly heard the question because she had thought Zhao Youlin was afraid that they would misunderstand because of the events the day before. So he quickly comforted her and said, “After you left yesterday, Uncle Zhao has told us the whole story, so we know you fought with that crazy woman Sun Fengzi because of us. While I'm glad you defended us, you should be more careful next time.”

Speaking of this, Duan Yarong felt a lingering fear in her heart, but her gaze turned gentle as she looked at Zhao Youlin. Then he said, “You are only a girl and have a child as well, that Sun Fengzi thinks he has his biological parents to rely on, so that's why he doesn't look at me well. Plus, with his temperament, he would go berserk and sever all ties with the family! She also has a child who is trained in martial arts, so the next time you find yourself in a situation like this, don't try to face them head-on, okay?”
