Twelve Units of Sweetness: Chapter 58


On the way from the airport to ABA, the driver had already checked with the crying Chen Yiran. The man who chased him at the airport just now was not a human trafficker, but his scumbag father.

"It turns out that your uncle is Anchor Chen. My wife likes to watch his shows." The driver said to Chen Yiran while driving, "Don't worry, kid, I will definitely send you to Anchor Chen safely."

"Thank you, uncle." Chen Yiran took out a tissue and wiped his tears.

When they arrived at the ABA building, Chen Yiran handed the prepared money to the driver and rushed out with his schoolbag on his back without waiting for the change. The security guard at the entrance of the TV station saw a child running over like the wind, and before he could stop him, the other party disappeared.

"Did a child run over just now?" Security guard A rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was hallucinating from working overtime.

Security guard B also looked in the direction where Chen Yiran disappeared, "I saw it too, it seems to be Anchor Chen's nephew."

"Ah, should we call and ask?" The TV station often has celebrities coming in and out. If any messy people get in, then they will be responsible.

“Yes.”

While the two were talking, another figure rushed over quickly. This time, the two security guards quickly stopped him, "Stop! What are you doing? Is the TV Station a place you can enter freely?!!"

Zhan Xu still wanted to rush in, but the two security guards were burly, so he gave up, "I'm looking for Chen Zui."

"Looking for Anchor Chen? Anchor Chen is also a celebrity here... Oh, I recognize you, you were the one who was looking for Anchor Chen last time, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I am a relative of Chen Zui, please let me go up."

While Zhan Xu was communicating with the security guards at the entrance, Chen Yiran had already taken the elevator to the floor where Chen Zui's office was located. Chen Zui’s live broadcast ended not long ago. As soon as he walked to his seat, the intern female anchor said to him, "Mr. Chen, someone has been calling you just now."

Chen Zui froze for a moment, nodded to her, and said, "Thank you."

"It's nothing." The intern anchor looked at him with a smile.

Chen Zui picked up his phone on the table and took a look. There were more than a dozen missed calls on it, including Zhan Xu's and Chen Yiran's.

His eyes darkened. They were looking for him so anxiously, that something must have happened. He was about to call Chen Yiran back when he heard Chen Yiran's voice coming from the door, "Uncle!"

Chen Yiran's tears, which had already stopped, flowed out again when he saw Chen Zui. Chen Zui looked at him in surprise, and before he could say a word, Chen Yiran rushed forward and hugged him, "Uncle, I, I don't want to go abroad with my father. I, I will study hard and not let you worry about me. I will also work hard to take care of my body, try not to get sick, and will not cause trouble to you and sister Tian Tian."

Everyone in the office looked at them and didn't know what was going on. Deng Liyang came over with coffee and froze in place.

What kind of bitter drama is this so early in the morning?

"I'm sorry, let me through." Zhan Xu walked over from behind him. He looked at Chen Yiran who was crying with snot and tears while hugging Chen Zui.

Chen Zui didn't know what happened, so he could only comfort Chen Yiran first. He glanced at Zhan Xu at the door, and said to Deng Liyang, "You take care of Chen Yiran for me first. I'll talk to his father."

"Okay, okay. Don’t worry, go." Deng Liyang responded.

Chen Zui and Zhan Xu went to the small conference room next to them. After the two of them left, the colleagues in the office were still a little dazed. Deng Liyang coughed dryly and put down the coffee in his hand. He clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, what are you all doing? It will be fun when Tian Sen comes and sees you all dazed here."

Everyone woke up from their daze and looked at Chen Yiran curiously before returning to work.

Deng Liyang took a tissue, walked up to Chen Yiran, and knelt down, "Okay, okay, such a big boy, why are you crying? How embarrassing."

Chen Yiran knew Deng Liyang. He grabbed Deng Liyang's clothes, and asked him sobbingly, "Uncle Deng, will my uncle not want me?"

"How is that possible? He wants you to stay. Don't cry anymore. If you want something to eat, I will buy it for you." There is a vending machine in the TV station, so you can buy whatever you want to eat and drink.

Chen Yiran shook his head and silently sat in Chen Zui's seat.

In the conference room, Chen Zui had already understood the ins and outs of the matter clearly. He looked at Zhan Xu with a bad face, "In this case, I don't agree with Chen Yiran going with you. This time it's at the airport, but next time if he arrives in the United States, will he fly back by himself?"

This is also what Zhan Xu is worried about. He knows that Chen Yiran is reluctant to leave, but he never thought that he would suddenly run away by himself.

After a long period of silence, Zhan Xu slowly opened his mouth, "Since Chen Yiran is unwilling to leave, I don't want to force him anymore. He can stay in China, but he has to make video calls with me at least once a week. He also has to come over to me during winter and summer vacations."

Zhan Xu listed out the conditions Chen Zui proposed before. Chen Zui laughed and said, "Okay, you know your way around business."

He had thought about those terms and conditions for a long time before listing them out, but Zhan Xu would take them for his own benefit.

"In addition, I will provide Chen Yiran with living expenses every month. I will also pay for his tuition in China. I know you are going to get married, and I hope that after your own child is born, you will not treat Chen Yiran badly. If you do, I'll take him away anytime."

“Okay.”

After the two settled the matter, they came out of the conference room. Seeing them coming out, Chen Yiran stood up nervously and looked at them. Chen Zui raised his eyebrows at him and said, "Congratulations, you can stay."

Chen Yiran relaxed in his heart, and the smile on his face was only halfway revealed when Chen Zui continued, "How many times have I told you not to run around alone? You don't listen at all. When we go home later, write a reflection on your mistakes."

Chen Yiran, “.....”

At such a happy moment, does he need to be so critical?

He really doesn't know how a man like his uncle can pursue a girl! Sister Tiantian is too kind!

"Ranran, I’m going back to the United States. I will pick you up to play next winter vacation, and I will come back to see you when I have time."

Chen Yiran looked at Zhan Xu, not knowing what to say to him, and finally just nodded.

“The luggage is still at the airport. I'll get someone to send it to you later." After Zhan Xu finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Yiran again, "Then I'll go first, see you next time."

Deng Liyang watched him leave, walked up to Chen Zui, and said, "This Zhan Xu doesn't seem to be a scumbag, at least he seems to treat Chen Yiran well."

Chen Zui said, "You like him so much, why don't you go with him?"

“....Bah!”

Chen Zui walked to his desk and said to Chen Yiran, "I'll be off work in a while. Wait here for me and we'll leave later."

“En.”

"You brought your summer homework, right? That’s good, go to the lounge next door and do your homework."

Chen Yiran, “???”

He suddenly felt a little bit reluctant to part with Zhan Xu.

While Chen Yiran was doing his homework in the lounge, Zhen Tian called him. Chen Zui must have told her what happened. The two chatted on the phone for a while, and then Chen Zui came to take him home.

After such a commotion, although Chen Yiran didn't leave, he was still a little worried, "Uncle, can I go back to primary school to study?"

"Don't worry, I only told Teacher Yang about your departure but the withdrawal procedures have not been completed yet. I have contacted her just now and said that you are not leaving."

"Oh, that's good." Chen Yiran felt relieved, "Fortunately, there was no farewell party, otherwise I would have had to explain to everyone that I'm not leaving."

Chen Zui laughed and didn't speak. Chen Yiran scratched his head and looked at him, "Uncle, I delayed the meeting between Grandpa and Grandma and Sister Tiantian's parents. Now we can make an appointment again!"

Chen Zui glanced at him, "You are an eight-year-old kid, why do you love to worry about adults' affairs so much?"

"I'm going to be nine soon!"

"Oh, are you reminding me to buy you a birthday present?"

"This year I can receive an extra gift. My father said he would get me a gift!" Chen Yiran was delighted.

“He sounds very affectionate. It good to have money.”

Later, Zhan Xu proved his strength with his wealth. He sent a total of nine gifts to Chen Yiran, making up for the previous eight birthdays.

Lao Chen was finally happy Chen Yiran decided to stay and was even more happy to finally meet Xiao Zhen’s parents.

The two families settled in a large private room in Tian Xia. The four members of the Zhen family and the four members of the Chen family sat around the table.

"Xiao Zhen and Chen Zui have been together for so long, and have gone through so many things together. It's rare that the two children are so suitable. I think we should settle their marriage as soon as possible." Chen Zui's mother is the one who worries about Chen Zui the most. As for the marriage, she had arranged so many blind dates for him before, but none of them worked out, so she was really anxious.

Ms. Wang Shuzhen is also very enthusiastic about making Chen Zui'er into her son-in-law, "You are right, our Tiantian is not young anymore. It is time to settle down."

Lao Zhen said in a low voice, "How is our Tiantian not young?"

Ms. Wang Shuzhen glanced at him with a smile, and Lao Zhen immediately changed his tone, "It's rare that everyone got together, we can discuss it together."

Zhen Xi next to him rolled his eyes. He was really an embarrassment to the men of the Zhen family!

Everyone had no objections, but Chen Zui suddenly said, "Mom, dad, uncle, and auntie, I don't think this matter is urgent."

Chen Yiran looked at him in surprise. Is his uncle out of his mind? He thought that he was the most anxious of all!

The others were also a little surprised. Zhen Xi laughed and asked, "What, you don't want to get married?"

Chen Zui explained, "Don't get me wrong, that's not what I mean. I just want to buy the newlywed’s house first, and then get married."

Chen Zui's mother nodded. The house he and Chen Yiran live in now is definitely not suitable for newlyweds. The house must be settled first.

Ms. Wang Shuzhen asked, "Then what do you plan, have you found a suitable house?"

Chen Zui said, "I've seen some, but I still need Tiantian to go and see it herself if likes it. After we buy it, it needs to be renovated to be spacious. We will not be able to move in until this time next year at the earliest."

Zhen Tian is naturally on the same side as Chen Zui, "I think what the senior said is right. Weddings take a while to plan so holding it next year is just right."

Chen Zui's mother thought for a while, and said to them, "There is no need to rush the wedding. Now many young people get the certificate first and then hold the reception."

Ms. Wang Shuzhen understood the point, and immediately echoed, "Yes, you can get the certificate first."

"Uh..." Zhen Tian looked at Chen Zui. Chen Zui smiled at her and said, "I know, I still have to make some preparations."

"What else do you need to prepare?" Chen Yiran was anxious.

It may be that the child was cute when asking this question that the adults at the dinner table all laughed. Chen Zui also laughed, but he didn't answer Chen Yiran's question.

What does he need to prepare? Of course, it is his proposal to Zhen Tian.

Although both families have met and the parents have directly started to discuss marriage, he should follow convention and propose to Zhen Tian. He knows girls care about these things.

He happens to know people in wedding planning, so he contacted them to help him make a proposal. The house hunting was also going on at the same time.

Chen Zui still wants to buy a new house for their married life. There are not many houses on sale so Chen Zui found an agent to help him find them.

"I've seen this house before, and I think the environment is good in all aspects." Chen Zui made an appointment with Zhen Tian to see the house on his day off. In order to facilitate Chen Yiran's commute to and from school, he still chose a house in the same area.

Zhen Tian followed him out of the car and saw that the agent was already waiting for them at the gate of the community, "Is that the agent you found?"

“Yes.”

“I still think we should’ve brought Chen Yiran along.”

Chen Zui smiled, "I'll bring him to take a look when it's all finalized."

"...If it’s decided already, what the point of him taking a look?"

“He still has to pick his room.”

“.....” All right.

The agent welcomed them very warmly and took them to see the house. The community Chen Zui chose is very quiet. The greenery is also very good, and it is a high-end community where people and vehicles are separated.

"The top floors here are all duplexes. Mr. Chen is interested in these. The total area is 230 square meters, which is enough for a family of four to live." While the agent was helping Chen Zui look for houses, he had already understood his situation clearly, "Of course, if the two of you want to have a second child in the future, this apartment is more than enough for five people."

"How is it?" Chen Zui had already visited once, so this time it was mainly to see Zhen Tian's opinions.

Zhen Tian stood on the balcony and looked out. She smiled at him and said, "I think it's pretty good, this balcony is so big, I like it!"

The agent quickly came up to explain, "One of the selling points of this house is the balcony. It has a very wide view and a large area. You can roll around here if you want."

Zhen Tian was amused by him and went to look at the master bedroom again.

"The main reason why I recommend this house to Mr. Chen is that it has a good layout." The agent took out the tablet he carried with him and showed them the floor plan of the whole house. "This house is designed with two master bedrooms. The first one is here with its own balcony. The second master bedroom is on the other side downstairs. The two rooms are separated by a sufficient distance. I know that you will live with your nephew, so the layout of this house can ensure that no matter where you are in the room, no matter what you do, you don't hear a sound from the other side."

Zhen Tian, “...”

Are agents these days so considerate now?
