The two-month internship period flew by.
Everyone had grown fond of Chu Yi. On his last day, Sister Wang and the others treated him to dinner.
For some reason, Wang Xin never returned to the company after taking leave to go back to school that day. He had given up halfway through, acting irresponsibly, which left a poor impression on everyone else.
During the meal, Chu Yi thanked everyone for their kindness and support during his time there.
After two months of working together, everyone was reluctant to see Chu Yi go, especially Sister Wang. She had grown used to seeing the handsome young man every time she looked up, and he often helped her by pouring water or carrying things. Starting tomorrow, she wouldn’t see him anymore.
The group enjoyed a lively and cheerful meal together.
As they left the restaurant, someone spotted a familiar car parked nearby. It was familiar because the car had been appearing outside the company every day recently—Shen Jin’s car.
Someone with sharp eyes immediately recognized it: “Isn’t that President Shen’s car?”
Almost everyone present had seen President Shen’s car before and recognized it instantly.
*Is President Shen here for a meal, or is he waiting for someone?*
When Chu Yi spotted Shen Jin’s car, a radiant smile spread across his handsome face.
He had agreed to let Shen Jin pick him up and publicly reveal their relationship today.
He hadn’t expected Shen Jin to make such a grand entrance. He knew Shen Jin was deliberately waiting for him in such a conspicuous spot, and he found this childlike side of Shen Jin utterly endearing.
Amidst the curious stares, Shen Jin stepped out of the car and walked directly to Chu Yi. “I’ve come to take you home,” he said.
The onlookers froze in shock.
They glanced between Chu Yi and President Shen, their minds struggling to process the scene.
Sister Wang ventured to understand their connection. “Chu Yi, do you know President Shen?” she asked, voicing the question on everyone’s minds.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t reconcile the stern, aloof, and formidable President Shen with the gentle, adorable Chu Yi.
The most astonishing thing was that Shen Jin showed none of his usual cold demeanor from the office.
When Shen Jin looked at Chu Yi, Chu Yi could actually see anticipation in his eyes.
Chu Yi looped his arm through Shen Jin’s, publicly revealing their relationship. “Sister Wang, this is my husband, Shen Jin.”
Chu Yi had no idea the shockwave his words sent through the crowd.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Chu Yi and President Shen, momentarily speechless, unsure how to describe their astonishment.
Shen Jin smiled and greeted them warmly. “Hello, everyone.”
As Shen Jin and Chu Yi left, Sister Wang and the others remained rooted to the spot, unable to snap out of their daze.
“We didn’t mishear or missee, did we?”
“Chu Yi is actually President Shen’s partner? Sister Wang, you really didn’t know?”
“I genuinely had no idea.”
“No wonder President Shen suddenly started working at our company. It was because Chu Yi was here.”
“You’d never guess it. Chu Yi always treated us like equals, with no special privileges. We all thought he was just a regular college student.”
“Ah, in the beginning, I used to always ask Chu Yi to pick up my packages and takeout for me.”
“Me too!”
They recalled how they had initially bossed Chu Yi around, assigning him trivial tasks, yet he never showed any impatience.
Chu Yi, oblivious to Sister Wang and the others’ shock, simply looked at his husband, whose lips were already twitching uncontrollably. “President Shen, are you satisfied now?”
By tomorrow, everyone would probably know. But Chu Yi wasn’t worried anymore, now that his internship was over.
Shen Jin beamed. “Completely satisfied.”
He was overjoyed as Chu Yi linked arms with him and proudly introduced him to the others. Before, he had overheard many people praising Chu Yi’s looks and asking for his contact information. President Shen, the great CEO, had nearly overturned his entire vat of jealousy.
As Chu Yi leaned contentedly against his shoulder, Shen Jin began pressing him for a promise. “Chu Yi, do you remember what you promised me before?”
Chu Yi blinked, wanting to say he didn’t remember, but when he met Shen Jin’s gaze, he honestly replied, “I do.”
To persuade Shen Jin to keep their relationship hidden during his internship and to soothe Shen Jin’s jealousy, Chu Yi had agreed to numerous unfair terms.
Shen Jin’s smile was particularly radiant. “Good. Just remember that.”
That night, in the bedroom:
Shen Jin sat regally on the sofa, fully dressed.
Chu Yi, wearing Shen Jin’s shirt, approached him. “President Shen, there’s an important document that requires your signature.”
With a swift tug, Shen Jin pulled Chu Yi into his lap, wrapping an arm around his waist. “Before signing the document, let’s take care of something else first.”
Before Chu Yi could react, a vibration pulsed through the slender ankle bracelet. The sudden, tingling sensation made Chu Yi gasp involuntarily, collapsing against Shen Jin.
He hadn’t even noticed when Shen Jin had slipped the bracelet onto his ankle—or when he had pinched his butt.
This role-play was overwhelmingly stimulating, especially with Shen Jin in his tailored suit, his single hand casually unbuttoning his shirt. Chu Yi’s face flushed crimson, his heart pounding wildly.
A perfect embodiment of refined depravity.
Chu Yi’s ankles were an extremely sensitive area. The tickling sensation made his toes curl involuntarily.
Several times, Chu Yi tried to kick off the anklet, but Shen Jin noticed his intentions. After that, his right foot never managed to touch his left again.
Chu Yi couldn’t quite remember how he ended up back in bed. He vaguely recalled being carried there by Shen Jin.
He thought returning to bed would be the end of it, but he was far from right.
The faint green glow around his ankle persisted for an agonizingly long time before finally fading.
As Shen Jin unfastened the anklet, he pressed a kiss to Chu Yi’s ankle. The tears Chu Yi had barely managed to suppress welled up again.
***
Chu Yi’s internship had ended, and Shen Jin naturally returned to his office at the group headquarters.
The weather was beautiful that day, so Chu Yi took Shen Liyuan out to play.
Of course, when Chu Yi took Shen Liyuan out, the nanny who had cared for him since childhood accompanied them.
After an afternoon of playing outside, as Chu Yi wiped the sweat from Shen Liyuan’s brow, the boy said, “Dad, let’s go see Big Daddy.”
Chu Yi asked, “Do you miss Big Daddy?”
Shen Liyuan nodded eagerly. “Yes, I do.”
Chu Yi smiled. “Alright, then let’s go find Big Daddy.”
Shen Liyuan cheered, “We’re going to see Big Daddy!”
Chu Yi sent the nanny home and took Shen Liyuan to find Shen Jin.
The driver dropped the father and son off at the company’s entrance.
To surprise Shen Jin, Chu Yi sent him a text message:
Chu Yi: Are you at the office? Little Lucky Star and I are at the entrance.
Less than a minute after sending the message, they saw Shen Jin emerge from the building.
“Daddy! Daddy!” Shen Liyuan spotted Big Daddy from afar and excitedly called out, “Daddy!”
The crisp sound carried far. Shen Jin quickened his pace, closing the distance in a few strides and taking Shen Liyuan from Chu Yi’s arms.
Whenever Shen Jin was around, he always held Shen Liyuan.
With one arm cradling the Little Lucky Star, Shen Jin took Chu Yi’s hand and led them to his office.
Chu Yi explained that they had taken the Little Lucky Star out to play that afternoon. When the Little Lucky Star started missing his Big Daddy, they decided to come find him.
“Next time, just call me,” Shen Jin said. “I’ll come pick you up.”
Cradled in his Big Daddy’s arms, the Little Lucky Star looked around excitedly.
As the family of three walked through the office, many employees watched their happy figures. President Shen’s gaze was particularly tender, confirming that his earlier hurried steps had been to fetch his wife and child.
Arriving at Big Daddy’s company, the Little Lucky Star was thrilled. The vast space beckoned him to explore every corner.
“Daddy, down!” the Little Lucky Star demanded.
Shen Jin set him down, and the Little Lucky Star began toddling around. Shen Jin followed at a steady pace, ensuring he could protect the child from any falls or dangers.
At just over a year old, Little Lucky Star’s arms and legs had lost their baby plumpness, transforming him into a strikingly handsome little boy.
“Daddy, Daddy!” Little Lucky Star called out to Shen Jin in his sweet, childish voice, melting the hearts of the women in the office.
“President Shen’s son is so handsome! Just like his father!”
Little Lucky Star ran around his father’s office until he finally tired himself out. He dove headfirst into Big Daddy’s arms, declaring, “Daddy, I’m sleepy.”
Less than two minutes later, nestled against Big Daddy’s sturdy chest, Little Lucky Star had fallen fast asleep.
Shen Jin gently laid Shen Liyuan on the bed. As soon as he was placed down, Shen Liyuan let out a soft whimper. With practiced ease, Shen Jin patted him twice, and the boy drifted back into a deep slumber.
Having soothed Little Lucky Star, Shen Jin turned his attention to Chu Yi.
“I’m sleepy too,” Chu Yi said.
Shen Jin patted his thigh. “Come sit here. Hubby will lull you to sleep.”
Just like before, Chu Yi settled into Shen Jin’s arms. Shen Jin worked while Chu Yi watched videos, and before long, Chu Yi had drifted off to sleep.
As it neared quitting time, Chu Yi woke up, but Little Lucky Star remained sound asleep.
Shen Jin carried their son in one arm and held his wife’s hand with the other as they walked home.
It wasn’t until they reached the front door that Little Lucky Star woke up, scrambling out of Shen Jin’s arms. “Daddy, are we home?”
Chu Yi replied, “Yes, we’re home.”
Shen Liyuan immediately hopped down from Big Daddy’s arms, clutching a bag of snacks, and dashed inside to find Grandpa Wen. “Grandpa, Grandpa, we’re back!”
The snacks were Little Lucky Star’s favorite treat from earlier that afternoon. He had already shared some with Big Daddy at the office and now wanted to share them with Grandpa Wen too.
Butler Wen cared for Shen Liyuan like his own grandson, staying by his side day and night when the boy was sick.
Besides Big Daddy and Little Dad, Grandpa Wen was the person Shen Liyuan loved and felt closest to.
Whenever he had something delicious or fun, Shen Liyuan always shared it with Grandpa Wen.
Seeing Butler Wen, Shen Liyuan threw himself into the man’s arms, shoving the snacks into his hands. “Grandpa, yummy!”
Butler Wen’s face flushed with joy. “Thank you, Little Lucky Star.”
