Kapitel 19: Live with me

Lin Ran said her words hurriedly in a single breath but Wu Jinyan already heard enough to learn that her manager mistook Little Bunny's identity.

To clarify the misunderstanding, Wu Jinyan immediately explained "Sister Lin, Little Bunny is my neighbour's kid. His mother's at work, she'll be back soon and his father.. his father..."

"My dad's on a business trip" Little Bunny filled in the blank before sipping orange juice.

"Yes. His father is on a business trip" Wu Jinyan repeated the same line with a 'So, I'm kind of looking after him' look on her face.

Wu Jinyan's explanation and acting were plausible but Lin Ran couldn't erase the arising suspicions in her mind. Her job as a manager gave her a few extra abilities to dig deep regarding every issue of her artists.

"So, you are looking after a neighbour's kid. Do I look like a fool to you? Wu Jinyan, see if I let you stay in the company for one more day"

Wu Jinyan rolled her eyes after she heard the warning. She knew Lin Ran would never hesitate to suppress an artist under her if she found them worthless, disobedient or troublesome to manage.

"Sister Lin, in what way does this kid look like me? He's not my child." Wu Jinyan pulled Little Bunny's face closer to her. Except for her skin being soft and supple like the child's, there's nothing common between them.

"His features must be from his father" Lin Ran supported her inner doubts instantly.

"Sister Lin, he's my neighbour's son" Wu Jinyan could only repeat the same lines to prove her innocence.

"Wu Jinyan. It's alright to have some black spots. You don't have to hide anything from me. I'll cover them as much as possible. Which actress didn't have such secrets? Just tell me who's the child's father...."

Lin Ran had seen several similar scenes of her artists who stubbornly denied their flaws and mistakes. She could only persuade Wu Jinyan with a little smooth talk to make her spill the beans before the matter escalates and goes out of her hands.

"I would love to have Aunty Wu as my mother but sadly I already have a mother who's not her. And thank you for your concern" Little Bunny interrupted with a sarcastic smile to stop Lin Ran from speaking again. He didn't want others to have misconceptions about his favourite Aunt Wu Jinyan.

Lin Ran gazed at the kid with a cold expression. She found him annoying. His attitude was too boorish, it was difficult to keep her emotions in control.

Whose son is this guy? He's this naughty at such a young age.

Lin Ran decided never to come to Wu Jinyan's house again.

Wu Jinyan almost laughed involuntarily. She wanted to give a round of applause to Little Bunny for his guts to speak against Lin Ran. But she should still cool down her manager's raging heart.

Trying to appease her great manager, Wu Jinyan said softly like a meek cat "Sister Lin, he's just a kid. Don't mind his words. I'll apologise in his stead"

"Whatever, you don't hang around this little devil. He'll infect you. Come out quickly, I'll wait for you downstairs" Lin Ran glared at the kid gritting her teeth before leaving the house.

As soon as Lin Ran went out, Little Bunny's eyes staring at Wu Jinyan became dull as he said "Aunt Jinyan, if staying here becomes a problem to you, you can go back anytime. I won't stop you again"

All that Little Bunny wanted was just a bit of company as he was alone by himself. But if once he felt he was troubling someone, he would immediately back down from pressuring them to accompany him.

Wu Jinyan indeed felt troublesome to look after someone else's child but after thinking about it again, she realized she was also an orphan child who lived in someone's house for almost two decades. She cared for the kid in her leisure time as he was lonely just like her but now she found it difficult just because she got herself a husband.

No matter what, Gu Zichen was still a grown man who could look after himself unlike Little Bunny who needs assistance in every simple matter. Moreover, he was such a cute, smart and considerate child, she couldn't hurt him.

"There's no problem. I can stay here with Little Bunny" Wu Jinyan smiled patting the child's head but as her thoughts drifted towards certain person, she started to feel uncomfortable in her heart.

He was her lawfully wedded husband but she behaved harshly disregarding his feelings just over a simple matter.

She also did not understand where did that silly side of her who would always look at him with infatuated eyes escaped to. She could only blame her inability to control her emotions. Her attempts to manage her feelings had always been volatile, whom else could she blame if not herself?

She grabbed her phone and dailed his number with the least hope. She expected he would not pick but the call connected immediately.

Wu Jinyan was relieved as she opened her mouth to speak, but his cold voice from the other side almost made her drop her mobile.

"What?"

'So he was not bothered about me' Wu Jinyan's mood dropped.

She was no longer angry with him but hearing his cold voice and single-word reply she felt infuriated and raised her voice "I'm not going back and will be staying only in my apartment from now on. If you still want both to us to live together, then you come and live with me.. Hmph"

She said all she wanted to and was about to move the mobile away when she heard him again. This time, his voice was husky and almost inaudible. "Is that all because of Little Bunny?!"

"So what if it's because of little bunny?"

"So, you want me to live in your apartment? Alright. See you soon," Gu Zichen said, smiling in delight as he moved the mobile away from his ears. On the other hand, Chen Fei clicked his tongue when he saw his boss's face. No doubt, his boss had changed after getting married.
