At the Company
"Secretary Fang, find out about the child — Lin Luoli — and his mother Lin Qinran. The child is in Sunshine Kindergarten, class 2-Lily. i want full details"
"Yes, sir. I'll report back as soon as possible."
Secretary Fang nodded and walked out of the office.
Beichuan leaned back in his chair and sighed.
I hope it's really Qinran…
A moment later, he stood up and headed to the seventh floor.
Game Development Department
"Team Lead Guo, sorry I had to bring him today," Qinran said apologetically. "The nanny called in sick."
"It's fine," Team Lead Guo replied with a smile, patting Luoli's head. "He's well-behaved."
Luoli grinned proudly.
A while later—
"Qinran! There's an urgent meeting. Come to the conference room quickly!"
"Alright."
She turned to Luoli.
"Stay here. I'll be back soon, okay?"
"Ooookay."
She hurried away.
A Few Minutes Later—
Luoli looked around. No one. His eyes sparkled.
Adventure time
He quietly slipped out of the office.
"Wooow… so pretty…"
He stared at the colorful RTX displays glowing across the department.
While wandering around, he eventually walked into the corridor.
Then he spotted the water dispenser.
"Waterrr!"
He ran over, filled a glass, and sat down happily to drink.
At that moment—
Ding.
The elevator doors opened.
Beichuan stepped out.
He froze.
A child?
He walked closer.
"Little kid… what are you doing here?"
Luoli held up the cup proudly.
"Drink water."
Beichuan facepalmed slightly.
"I meant… where are your parents?"
"Mom had meeting."
"I see… but she shouldn't leave you unattended."
He took the cup, set it aside, then lifted the boy into his arms.
"Woahhh!"
Luoli's eyes widened.
"It's higher than mom!"
He stared at Beichuan curiously.
"What's your name?"
"Mo Beichuan. And yours?"
"You can call me Lili."
"Lili…?"
Luoli tilted his head.
"Do you have a mom?"
"Yes."
"Are you married?"
Beichuan blinked, stunned.
"…No."
"Where's your mom? I'll take you to her."
Luoli thought very hard.
"Um… co-coferce room."
Beichuan paused.
"…Conference room?"
Luoli nodded proudly.
"Yeah! Co-coferce room!"
"Alright."
Beichuan carried him toward the conference room.
Inside the Conference Room
"Yes, this is the proposed solution," Team Lead Guo was explaining to the room.
Suddenly—
The door opened.
Guo stopped speaking.
Everyone turned.
Luoli's eyes lit up.
"Mommmm!"
Then he shouted excitedly—
"I FOUND MYSELF A DAD!!!"
The room went completely silent.
Beichuan stood stiffly behind him.
Kid… I didn't sign up for this.
"LUOLI!"
Qinran shot up from her seat in alarm.
She rushed over and took Luoli from Beichuan's arms.
Her face stayed calm, but her ears were definitely a little red.
Luoli looked completely proud.
"Mom, I found a dad!"
"…Apologize to President Mo."
"But mom—"
"Luoli."
That tone. He knew that tone.
"…Sorry, Mister Mo."
Beichuan looked at the child.
Then at Qinran.
Then back at the child.
It's Qinran's…Then… could he possibly be mine?Mine…?My child…?
Around them, the entire conference room was pretending very hard to look at their documents.
Beichuan cleared his throat.
"It's alright. I found him in the corridor."
His gaze lingered briefly on Qinran.
"Just… don't leave children unattended."
Then he turned and walked out as if running away.
