Chapter 411 I Have a Playboy CEO Dad 1
(The previous chapter has been updated with more words.)
Xiao Li arrived quickly. After he arrived, Rong Yu, who had been carrying several large bags, was finally freed and had time to stretch his stiff fingers.
"Sir, are we going back to the Rong residence?" Xiao Li asked Rong Yu from the driver's seat.
Rong Yu looked at Zhao Zhao, who was grinning in the child seat, and asked, "My sweet baby, do you want to go home or continue playing?"
"Of course we're going to play!" Zhao Zhao excitedly raised the teddy bear and poked Rong Yu's thigh. There was a place he was genuinely interested in.
"Rong Yu, I heard you often go to bars? What are you like? Are bars a lot of fun? I want to go too!"
The two adults present froze. Xiao Li, incredulous, advised, "Sir, the young master is still young. You can't take him to a place like this."
Xiao Li was extremely worried, after all, given Rong Yu's personality, he was very likely to do such a thing.
"Zhao Zhao, are you kidding me?" Fortunately, Rong Yu wasn't completely out of touch. "There's nothing fun here, let's go home."
The bar is crowded and noisy. If something happens to Zhaozhao, not only will he blame himself, but his father will probably kill him too.
Zhao Zhao was unhappy and retorted, "Why can you go but I can't, you annoying Rong Yu! I'm going!"
For a while, Rong Yu practically lived in the bar. Whenever Rong Zhaoran asked where Rong Yu was, the answer was almost always the same: the bar.
Faced with Zhao Zhao's persistent nagging, Rong Yu looked distressed. He had made a mistake; he would never go to bars again and lead the children astray.
Zhao Zhao kept pestering him, and while he was thinking of a solution, Xie Xiao suddenly called.
"Rong Yu, let's go out and have some fun. Same old spot, we're all here."
A casual remark broke the silence. Zhao Zhao pricked up her ears, casting a curious glance at him. "The usual place?"
"I also need to go!"
Rong Yu paused, about to refuse, when Xie Xiao on the phone heard Zhao Zhao's voice and chuckled, saying, "Zhao Zhao is with you~ In that case, then..."
"We're coming right away!" Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Zhao quickly leaned in and shouted into the phone, "Uncle, don't worry, wait for us!"
Zhao Zhao called out sweetly, and after a cheerful "Call me brother" came from the other end of the phone, Rong Yu immediately hung up.
His brow furrowed; for the first time, he realized how idle and carefree his friend was, spending all his time eating, drinking, and having fun. "Zhao Zhao..."
Rong Yu considered how to refuse Zhao Zhao without making him cry, but before he could even open his mouth, his ancestor looked like he was about to cry, "I won't cause trouble, I just haven't been there before, is it not allowed to visit?"
Rong Yu: ......
He was really convinced.
"Xiao Li, drive. To Xuan Ye Bar."
“…Okay.” Xiao Li responded softly, his mind racing with anticipation.
[What kind of dad takes a two-year-old to a bar?]
Xuan Ye is a bar that Rong Yu, Xie Xiao, and a few others invested in when they were young. In recent years, it has been developing better and better and its scale has been growing larger and larger.
Centered around it, the surrounding area exudes an air of extravagant luxury. At this moment, the parking lot outside the bar is filled with rare luxury cars, and wealthy second-generation heirs dressed in fine clothes can be seen coming and going from the lavishly decorated entrance at any time.
The other rich kids were all with young and beautiful women, but Rong Yu was holding the young Zhao Zhao. Instantly, everyone's eyes were drawn to Rong Yu.
[Is this Rong Yu? This damn beast is starting to play with children?]
I don't understand the mindset of the rich. The child is pitiful, and men are truly despicable.
Zhao Zhao heard everything that Rong Yu couldn't. At that moment, she was wearing an adorable children's mask on her small face, and the only thing showing was her pair of bright, innocent eyes staring at Rong Yu who was looking for her.
He chuckled and said, "Rong Yu, your reputation doesn't seem to be very good."
No one who knows Rong Yu thinks well of him; almost everyone criticizes him for abducting children and leading them astray.
[Holy crap! My God, what am I seeing?!]
Just then, another abrupt and very noticeable thought reached Zhao Zhao's ears.
Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw a young waiter with a gentle and clean demeanor and handsome features rushing towards them from the crowd. "Excuse me, sir, what can I do for you?"
[What a jerk! It's one thing to come alone, but to bring a kid along!!!]
Rong Yu held Zhao Zhao in his arms, but simply refused, "No need, I'll find someone." His delicate and sculpted face appeared somewhat aloof under the dim lighting.
Jiang Jin'an silently watched him and Zhao Zhao, who was wrapped in a pink mask. Her gentle gaze lingered on the two of them, and she hesitated before finally advising, "Sir, it seems inconvenient for a child to come to Xuan Ye. You see..."
The arrogant Rong Yu acted as if he hadn't heard him and ignored him. Just as he turned to leave, Zhao Zhao suddenly heard something and turned around sharply.
The gentle and honest-looking man behind him remained standing in the same spot, smiling innocently. When he saw Zhao Zhao peeking at him, he even waved his arm in a friendly manner, "What's wrong, little one?"
On the surface, his words and actions are perfectly normal and there's nothing to say about them.
[Wow! This kid has such big, beautiful eyes!!!]
Zhao Zhao's mind-reading ability allowed her to clearly see his inner thoughts and know that he was a two-faced person who was very good at pretending. However, what shocked Zhao Zhao was not this.
[How could Rong Yu, that scumbag, possibly have such an adorable baby?! What makes him so special?!]
Seeing that Rong Yu remained aloof and turned his back on him, Jiang Jin'an's inner monologue began again.
[That jerk! Didn't he say he only likes beautiful women and handsome men? I'm so good-looking in this world, and he won't even give me a second glance! What a waste of all that time I spent smiling! What a waste of my expression!]
Even though his heart was in turmoil, on the surface he still smiled like a gentle little white rabbit.
Seeing that Zhao Zhao was staring at the back, Rong Yu turned his head as well. When he met Jiang Jin'an's eyes, his brows furrowed. "Are you seducing my...son?"
That stupid waiter, why does he keep smiling at my Zhao Zhao for no reason? It really annoys his father!
Jiang Jin'an was stunned, waving her hands and shaking her head frantically, "No, no, that's not true!"
[You son of a bitch Rong Yu, what the hell are you spouting? You scared the hell out of me! I was planning to seduce you!!!]
[This is absolutely outrageous! The system is actually making me, a straight guy, try to seduce a womanizer? Ha, ridiculous! So many women couldn't win him over, how the hell do you think I can?!]
Another thunderclap rang in Zhao Zhao's ears; she never expected that the transmigrator would be him.
As he listened to Jiang Jin'an's constant mutterings of "damn it," and looked at Rong Yu's disdainful and wary gaze, he couldn't help but wonder if, even without his intervention, the two of them could really end up together.
Besides, hasn't Rong Yu always liked women?!
This world is surreal.
"Zhao Zhao? Why are you still looking at him?" Because Zhao Zhao kept staring at Jiang Jin'an, Rong Yu slapped his face in annoyance and gestured to the waiter in front of him to get lost.
After that, the insults that had been emanating from Zhao Zhao's ears faded away, and Jiang Jin'an's figure disappeared from their sight.
"Zhaozhao, why are you looking at him? Did he seduce you?" Rong Yu was inexplicably convinced that a grown man was seducing a two-year-old child, and kept pressing this question on her.
Zhao Zhao slapped his hand away speechlessly, glared at him, and said, "Rong Yu, what's in your head? Can't you think straight?"
Even though Zhao Zhao had shown exceptional talent for roasting people since childhood, Rong Yu still couldn't get used to hearing his seemingly well-behaved son roast him so badly.
“Zhao Zhao…sigh…” He hesitated, but ultimately said nothing. “Let’s go to the private room.”
Xie Xiao and the others had been waiting for quite some time.
Because they knew in advance that Zhaozhao would be coming, the private room was spotless and completely clean, without a single unnecessary item or clutter.
While Xie Xiao and the others were playing games in the private room out of boredom, the heavy door was finally pushed open. Rong Yu was the first to peek out, looked them over, and then turned to shout to those behind him, "Come in and play."
Upon hearing this, the four people inside, who had been somewhat agitated, instantly became excited. "Is Zhao Zhao here?!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a chubby little figure with short arms and legs appeared before them. Xie Xiao immediately threw her phone behind her and rushed straight to greet her, "Is that Zhao Zhao? She's just as cute as Rong Yu described!"
Then the three of them surrounded Zhao Zhao, while Rong Yu stood to the side with his arms crossed, watching the scene with tender eyes.
This was the first time he introduced Zhao Zhao to some of his friends, and it symbolized his attempt to accept Zhao Zhao, hoping that in the future he could truly bring Zhao Zhao into his life.
"Zhao Zhao is so cute~"
"Rong Yu, you should have said your son was so cute!"
The people around her kept touching Zhao Zhao's hands and head, their affection written all over their faces.
Zhao Zhao was surrounded by a cacophony of voices, both expressing their innermost thoughts and sharing their everyday concerns.
[I want to hug you so badly!]
In such a noisy environment, one person's voice still stood out.
Zhao Zhao turned her head and looked at the young man who was the most active and vocal on the fringes of society, yet remained distant in reality. She slowly walked to his side and reached out her hand, "Uncle, hug me~"
Zhao Zhao thought, since this uncle genuinely wanted to hug him, it wouldn't be a bad idea to ask for a hug himself.
The little boy in front of her, wearing a pink mask, looked incredibly cute as he reached out for a hug. He Xingyun felt as if she had been bewitched, her mood light and airy. She was instantly captivated by him and couldn't help but bend down and hug the child in her arms.
"hey-hey."
The child was soft and light, with sly, slightly curved eyes; to him, the child was extremely cute.
"Is this Zhao Zhao? It's our first time meeting, so I've prepared a gift for you."
In an instant, he was about to take off the jade pendant he was wearing around his neck, and Rong Yu, who had been standing calmly to the side, was instantly flustered.
"He Xingyun, are you out of your mind!" Rong Yu snatched Zhao Zhao back, shoved his jade back into his hand, and looked utterly bewildered. "Why are you giving my Zhao Zhao your family's heirloom jade? Have you lost your mind?"
The group of friends grew up together and knew each other very well.
Seeing that He Xingyun seemed to have lost his mind, Xie Xiao couldn't help but laugh, "I knew you liked children, but seeing you today, I realize that the rumors were just a conservative estimate."
To be able to give away family heirlooms right after meeting someone is truly... impressive.
He Xingyun did not refute. He was rather introverted and did not like to express himself. However, he had a very aloof appearance, which made him, who actually loved children very much, quite unpopular.
But unexpectedly, today, Rong Yu's adorable son chose to be close to the cold and aloof Rong Yu, among so many people who liked him.
He Xingyun couldn't help but grin, a stiff and strange smile that startled the others, who all took a step back.
Rong Yu's lips twitched. "Are you out of your mind, you bastard?"
He Xingyun didn't argue with him, and said gently, "Don't use foul language, it will set a bad example for the children."
Rong Yu: ......
Zhao Zhao's eyes lit up; finally, someone noticed his mother. Although he had heard plenty of profanity and had picked up quite a bit of it himself...
With Zhaozhao in the private room, even a group of good-for-nothing rich kids became serious and gathered together to amuse the child.
Rong Yu, the child's father, was ostracized by his grandfather at home, and here he was disliked by his friend.
“Rong Yu, if you ask me, someone as unreliable as you is not suited to raise children.”
Xie Xiao smiled smugly and continued speaking, seemingly unafraid of death. Rong Yu sneered, "So?"
"So, let me take care of Zhao Zhao for a couple of days, it'll be much better than you taking care of her!" He picked up Zhao Zhao and spun her around, but He Xingyun intercepted him again, "You're all unreliable, I'll take care of her instead."
Then, two other people joined the competition.
Seeing the four of them seriously discussing who should raise Zhaozhao, Rong Yu sat silently in the dim light and smiled quietly, "I'm still alive. Is it appropriate for you to discuss this kind of thing in front of me? Hmm?"
After waiting for a while and no one paid any attention to him, Rong Yu's resentment grew stronger than that of a ghost.
[A bunch of lunatics. Who was it that said they hated kids the most?]
[And Zhao Zhao, that little rascal used to kick and thrash around when I held him, how come he's so well-behaved and obedient now?]
The world where Rong Yu was injured alone was achieved. Amidst everyone's pampering, Zhao Zhao took a moment to glance at her "dark father" hiding in the corner, and smiled even more happily.
You shameless Yu! If you ever find me a stepmother, I'll get a new dad!
It seems that everyone in this world, except Rong Yu, likes her. Zhao Zhao feels wronged and can't understand why her philandering father likes so many people but not her.
A moment later, a waiter came in to bring fruit and snacks. The girl's skirt was rather revealing, and when she bent over, a large expanse of white flesh was exposed. Rong Yu covered Zhao Zhao's eyes with a dark face and said coldly, "Get out!"
Xie Xiao and the others didn't look around indiscriminately, since there were children present today, and they weren't that desperate.
After the woman left, the group all looked at Zhao Zhao in silence. Zhao Zhao listened to their thoughts, but he was still confused and didn't know what they were so nervous about.
