Nan Chen brought the two children out all by himself.
Although they were very obedient, Nan Chen still felt helpless.
Erbao would be right in front of him a second ago and gone the next. Nan Chen would then panic as he couldn’t afford to lose the kids.
Right when he was about to call for help, Erbao had magically appeared out of nowhere again. She had wandered off on her own because she saw a cute dog, and returned after a while.
Erbao was very active, but Dabao was not worried as he knew she would be able to come back by herself every time.
However, the quiet one was more difficult to deal with.
Nan Chen was a man of few words, but Dabao was worse.
This made it difficult for them to communicate and would always need Erbao to help keep the conversation going or they would be bored to death.
Nan Chen sat in the kiddy restaurant watching Dabao and Erbao who were eating, and a thought crossed his mind, That woman sure had it rough too.
He only had them with him for a short while and he was already so exhausted. How hard it must have been for a single mum like her to raise them throughout those years.
Nan Chen halted himself as he realized he was starting to feel compassion for the woman.
I mustn’t feel this way, that woman is a scheming one!
Erbao walked over, “Uncle Nan Chen, why hasn’t mommy come yet?”
Nan Chen was stunned, “Uh… She’s busy filming.”
“Then I have to give mommy a call so she knows we’re here and can come pick us up later.” Erbao whipped out her phone.
“Don’t……” Nan Chen hurriedly stopped her.
“Why?” Erbao looked at Nan Chen with her big shiny eyes.
Nan Chen was at a loss for words.
He didn’t know how to explain adult affairs like these to the kids.
No matter how wicked that woman was, she was still their mother. Naturally, he couldn’t badmouth her in front of the kids.
“Mommy’s too tired, don’t disturb her.” Nan Chen said.
Erbao nodded as if she understood.
Nan Chen was thinking of a way to convince the kids to move into Commoner Residence with him.
The only way to make it easier for them to move in was to familiarize them with the place.
“When will we be going home?” Erbao asked again.
“Erbao, what would you call my grandfather?” Nan Chen asked suddenly.
Erbao shook her head as she really didn’t know.
“Great grandpa.” Dabao said.
“Dabao is so smart! That’s right, you would call him great grandpa.” Nan Chen nodded.
“Great grandpa.” Erbao repeated.
“That’s right, and you should call his wife great grandma. Great grandpa and great grandma would love to see you. I’ll take you to them, okay?” Nan Chen felt a little nervous after saying that.
He wouldn’t know what else to do if these two said no.
“Is mommy going?” Erbao asked.
“She…… won’t be going.” Nan Chen couldn’t bring himself to lie to the kids.
“Then we won’t go either.” Erbao looked at Dabao.
Dabao nodded his head.
He was proud of his sister’s decision this time.
Nan Chen was stumped. He could take them there by force, but he didn’t want to do so.
But, how could he convince them?
“Great grandpa and great grandma are very old now, and have been wanting to see you. If they can, they would be really happy.” Nan Chen said.
Dabao and Erbao looked at each other.
“Especially great grandpa. He’s even prepared a room and lots of toys just for you.” Nan Chen continued.
It was really not easy for Mr. Chen to say so many words.
Dabao and Erbao went silent for a while.
“We’ll go.” Dabao decided.
“Mhmm, we’ll go.” Erbao added.
Nan Chen felt like a burden had been lifted from his shoulders as he had finally convinced the two.
……
Commoner Residence.
As soon as they heard the kids were coming, Nan Zhengde and his wife Feng Wan quickly urged the servants to prepare and fill the living room with all sorts of things that they thought the kids would like.
Nan Chen walked into the main hall with a child in each hand.
The old man was delighted when he saw them.
“They look so alike! Their faces look so similar to Chen! Even their expressions too!” The old man praised.
His wife Feng Wan quickly reminded, “That’s Xingxing’s children!”
“Same thing, Chen and Xing look the same anyway!” Nan Zhengde was delighted.
“Go on, address them.” Nan Chen said to the kids.
Dabao bowed, and Erbao hurriedly imitated her brother’s actions.
“Great grandpa, great grandma……”
They said in their cute voices. Nan Zhengde and Feng Wan were overjoyed and walked up to them, “Oh, they’re so cute! You can see that they are descendants of my Nan family.”
“Grandpa, this is Dabao Ning Sirui, and this is Erbao Ning Sihan.” Nan Chen said.
“Those are good names, but why are their surnames not Nan?” The old man asked the key question.
“We follow our mommy’s surname.” Erbao explained in her cute voice.
“Oh, I see. We can change your surname later on. Sweetheart, what do you like? Great grandpa will give you whatever you like.” The old man asked.
Erbao didn’t even think, “I like tasty food!”
The old man laughed, “This is a good choice! Great grandpa has prepared a lot of tasty treats for you, so just take whatever you like! If it’s not here, I’ll have someone go buy it, even if it’s from overseas!”
“Yes, we’ll buy you whatever you like!” The old woman joined in.
Nan Chen thought he had spoiled them badly enough, but these two were even worse!
The old man saw that Dabao didn’t say anything, and hurriedly asked him what he liked.
Dabao just shook his head politely and said thanks.
“This kid doesn’t want anything? That’s like you when you were little.” The old man looked at Nan Chen.
“He prefers books and computers. I heard he’s a computer expert.” Nan Chen said.
The old man immediately turned to instruct the servants, “Have someone pick a site to build the largest private library in China, and name it after this child as a gift from me.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Wait, build a science and technology museum or research center to let this kid develop his interests and expertise too. That’ll also be my gift to him.” The old man said.
Nan Chen was shocked. He didn’t expect his grandfather to behave like a tycoon.
“Grandpa, our private library is already huge enough. There is no need to build another library. As for the lab and research center, he’s only four right now, he’s still young……” Nan Chen tried to convince him.
“It’s fine, he’ll have grown up by the time it’s done. We must build him the biggest and the best one in the country!” The old man said excitedly.
“What about me?” Erbao was unhappy, Has great grandpa forgotten about me already?
