After Xiao Ou and his father walked out of the restaurant, he seemed to feel that his father had something on his mind.He leaned against his father's cheek and asked, "Dad, what's the matter?"

Ye Nanzhou hugged Xiaolian with another arm, took out the car keys and flashed the car lights, he gently coaxed the baby: "It's okay, Dad is thinking which way we should go to the photo studio is closer, Dad wants to hurry up and take pictures with baby photo."

"Oh!" Xiao Ou quickly got into the back of the car, sat in the safety seat, and pulled the seat belt, "Dad, fix it quickly! Let's go!"

With a smile on the corner of Ye Nanzhou's mouth, he buckled up his seat belt and put the food given by the waiter into the trunk.

For some reason, when he pressed the trunk, his eyes seemed to be looking at the quaint porch of the restaurant.

The name of the restaurant is Wenhui.

Ye Nanzhou frowned slightly. He remembered that Yuan Zheng mentioned that the Qian family was in the restaurant business. There were various restaurants all over the country, and they even cooperated with the hotel industry for catering.

Is Wen Hui also the property of the Qian family?

But in Ye Nanzhou's impression, Wenhui is a characteristic Chinese restaurant in Rongcheng, not a national chain brand...

The car door closed with a "click", interrupting Ye Nanzhou's thoughts, and he quickly got in the car and started it.

Ye Nanzhou's guess is roughly correct. Wenhui is a new brand that the Qian family has recently incorporated into the catering group, and it is currently in the stage of overall upgrading and renovation of the restaurant.

Qian Yueqing came to Wenhui Restaurant today to inspect it pretending to be an ordinary customer.

He never thought that he would meet Ye Nanzhou in a foreign land.

In the high-end box of the restaurant, Qian Yueqing's friend poured wine for him, and joked: "I said, why do you want to come to Wenhui for dinner as soon as you come to our place today? Are you here to meet an old friend?"

The other person nodded frequently: "The one just now is really good-looking, gentle and elegant. I don't have to choose, but it's a pity that he's married and has a child."

Qian Yueqing picked up the wine glass and scolded with a smile: "Don't fucking talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with him, this is the second time we meet. It's just a friend I know."

The two friends knew about it, so they stopped joking about it, and started talking about the development of Rongcheng in the past two years and the situation of the catering industry.

I don't know what the topic was, but someone asked: "Old Qian, you seem to have been in touch with Yuan Zheng, the new boss of the Yuan family? I heard that you both invested in a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco? Is the market of Chinese restaurants in North America okay? "

"That's the matter?" Qian Yueqing said slowly, "The main reason is that Yuan Zheng has a big shop over there. When we were chatting, he asked me if I wanted to open a Chinese restaurant, so I went. You guys I also know that our Qian family has never opened a restaurant in the United States. Yuan Zheng helped me with all the back and forth. "

The humane said: "I heard that Yuan Zheng is dedicated to expanding the European and American markets for his family? This is really a talent. If you want me, I can't wait to go back to China, and it's better to go back to my own territory. It is said that Qianglong can't suppress the local snake, and he can do business in the United States." It's really not easy to make a move."

Holding the wine glass, Qian Yueqing didn't answer the question.

When he met Ye Nanzhou today, he suddenly seemed to want to understand one thing——

Yuan Zheng's reluctance to return to China to develop, could it be because of Ye Nanzhou?

But Yuan Zheng is not like the kind of person who is emotional, at least he is decisive in the business field, and he will never give up a good market just because of his children's affair.

Qian Yueqing thought, maybe this incident tonight can stimulate him, maybe he can come back from the United States to develop after he figured it out?

At that time, the brothers will fight the world together, joining forces, I don't know how happy it will be.

Art photo studio.

While waiting, Xiao Ou and his father sat in the children's photo area on the second floor, facing the large floor-to-ceiling glass, facing the colorful neon lights on the opposite street, and the flickering lights fascinated him.

The light was dyed on Xiaolian's fair and soft face, making it look extraordinarily soft and peaceful.

Xiao Lotus sat on his father's lap, he played with his father's slender fingers, crossed his big palms, forming a safe protective barrier in front of his little belly.

He leaned back slightly and looked up at his father: "Dad, the lamp is so beautiful, isn't it?"

When a child's tone becomes soft and weak, it is easy for adults to feel a kind of affection.

Ye Nanzhou lowered his head slightly, rested his chin lightly on the baby's heart, and hugged the baby tightly: "Yes, Dad likes to watch it too."

Satisfied, Xiao Lotus leaned comfortably in Safe's arms, pursed her mouth, and secretly smiled.

The staff of the photo studio came to invite: "Mr. Ye? It's your turn." He greeted Xiao Ou with a smile, and then said, "Mr. Ye, our photographers will mainly serve you from now on, and there are no other customers."

This person charges according to a shooting time period, which includes clothing selection, styling, and the number of photo sets corresponding to shooting, and the film will be released after the end.

Ye Nanzhou wanted to have more time for outfit selection and shooting, so that Xiao Ou could slowly choose the clothes and styles he liked, and two shooting time slots were scheduled.

The second floor is covered with cute cartoon carpets, all of which are cute little animal patterns. Little lotus is holding his father's hand, bouncing around the cute little animals, he doesn't want to step on the body of the little animals.

Since Ye Nanzhou came in with Xiaolian in his arms, the people in the photo studio were confirming whether it was Xiaolian and his father.

When Xiao Lotus took off the mask, everyone was very excited. They didn't expect Xiao Lotus to come from the store to shoot.

The staff displayed almost all the children's clothing in the store and said they could give them discounts. "Xiao Lotus, which one do you like, brother will get it for you."

Xiao Ou never imagined that there would be so many clothes in a photo studio just like in a clothing store.

The staff also said to Ye Nanzhou: "Mr. Ye, we disinfect the clothes on a regular basis. These are absolutely clean and safe, and basically there will be no skin allergies for children."

Ye Nanzhou understood, he did check before making the reservation, the reason for the high price of this store is the high quality of the clothes and considerate service.He picked up Xiaolian, supported his little butt with one arm, and asked him to look at the clothes: "Baby, which one do you want to choose? Do you like this little vest with a star pattern?"

Xiao Lotus looked at the dark blue vest, then turned around and grabbed Dad's ear: "Dad, Xiao Lotus likes the white one." His little finger poked at the little shirt in the distance.

The staff pulled out their shirts to display.

Ye Nanzhou found that this little shirt was somewhat similar to his own white shirt, like a miniature version of his own shirt, so cute.

The staff naturally noticed it too, and said with a smile, "Xiao Ou wants to wear the same clothes as Dad, right?"

Xiao Ou nodded shyly, rubbed her ears, buried her face in her father's arms, twisted and acted coquettishly: "Dad, is it okay? Can Xiao Ou wear this?"

"Of course." Ye Nanzhou smiled.

Seeing Xiao Ou's cute appearance acting like a baby, the staff thought, it turns out that Xiao Ou is hundreds of times cuter by her father's side than in the show, so she really wants to rub Xiao Ou.

I envy Xiaolian's father every day.

The photo shooting went smoothly, and Xiao Ou was not afraid of the camera in the show, not to mention having his father by his side at the moment.

When the stylist is doing the styling, Xiao Ou is occasionally a little shy, but she is obedient and obedient.

The staff were all amazed in private that they had never seen such a docile cutie like Xiaolian, and they all prayed that the children they met every day would be so easy to serve.

There are six sets of clothes in total. After the filming, Xiao Ou and her father chose a few photos to match with cartoon photo frames. He held them in his arms and couldn't bear to put them down.

Ye Nanzhou also bought a thick photo album to store photos of Xiaolian in the future.

On the way home, Xiao Ou kept asking, "Dad, when we get home, can Dad write Dad's name on the photo?"

He wants Dad's autographed photo, and he really wants it!

Ye Nanzhou responded with a light smile: "Okay, baby, choose what you like, and dad will sign it."

The little lotus root should be carefully selected. He looked at the photos and photo frames placed on the seat, and put the good-looking photos into the album.

It's a photo album of him and his father!

After arriving at the orphanage, Ye Nanzhou gave the lunch boxes brought back from the restaurant to Grandma Chen. Some of them can be used as supper for the children at night, and the other part of the rice dumplings can be kept in the refrigerator for a day.

Grandma Chen opened it and looked at it, and found that they all had the same dishes, apparently ordered by the chef.

She thought, it would cost Xiaoye to live in the orphanage.

Xiao Lotus bounced around holding the photo album, like a little rabbit, sneaking into the bedroom, he couldn't wait to organize the photos.

Grandma Chen called him: "It's time to take a bath, Xiaoou. Your brothers and sisters take a bath early today, so you and Dad can go."

Ye Nanzhou hugged the little one up: "Baby, let's take a bath~" Little lotus root was lifted up, kicking his calf joyfully, giggling, and urging cheerfully: "Dad, let's take a bath quickly! Hurry up! "

Ye Nanzhou didn't wash Xiaolian's hair. After washing, he hugged the naked little baby with a big towel and sent him directly to the bed.

Xiao Ou shyly pressed the towel on his butt. Although he could ask his father to help him take a bath, he usually put on panties in the bathroom, and he was not used to going out of the bathroom naked.

After a little cleaning, the little lotus root got into the thin quilt and hid it, and the quilt bulged into a small ball.

Ye Nanzhou wiped his hair, smiled and went to get Xiaolian's small clothes, and brought them to Xiaotuanzi: "Baby, Daddy will put on pants for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a small white and soft hand stuck out from the quilt, and he pulled the panties in with a whoosh.

The little guy in the quilt was moving around, obviously he was wearing his panties.

Ye Nanzhou held back his smile, and put the vest on: "There's still the vest."

The little hand reappeared, grabbing the vest, when Ye Nanzhou grabbed the wrist.

Ye Nanzhou bent down and got into the small quilt: "Baby, I'm going to sweat, can you come out and get dressed?"

Xiao Ou's face was flushed, and she pulled the quilt and twisted: "Mmm~"

Ye Nanzhou thought for a while, and then said, "But Dad wants to help the baby get dressed, so Baby Lotus will let Dad help you, okay?"

As he spoke, he kissed the back of the baby's chubby little hand.

When Xiao Ou heard that her father wanted to do this, she jumped out without hesitation, and lay on her father's lap: "Daddy put it on for Xiao Ou."

Ye Nanzhou tidied up the panties he didn't wear well, supported his armpit and hugged him, let him sit on his lap, and slowly unfolded the vest and put it on.

Xiao Lotus raised her arm and pointed to the framed photo album on the bedside table: "Dad, Xiao Lotus got dressed and wanted to see the photos."

"it is good."

Ye Nanzhou took a bunch of photos and photo albums, and taught Xiao Ou how to put the photos into each transparent grid.

Xiao Ou picked out a photo of her father and herself: "Dad, this one needs my father's signature. And this one." He released four or five of them in a row.

Ye Nanzhou walked to the table and found a water-based signature pen for office use.

"Can you sign it on your back?"

Xiao Ou nodded happily: "Okay, Dad."

Ye Nanzhou's handwriting is very similar to his, elegant and handsome, with clear strokes and smooth strokes.

The more Xiaolian looked at it, the more satisfied she was, and she stuck the photo on her heart to express her love.

According to Xiao Ou's request, Ye Nanzhou signed six or seven sheets in a row. To commemorate them, he specially attached the specific date after the signature.

A five-star hotel executive suite in Rongcheng CBD.

Qian Yueqing just took a shower and came out of the bathroom when he heard the phone on the bedside table buzzing and vibrating.

He threw away the towel and hurried over to answer the phone.

After seeing who the caller was, he noticed that it was past nine o'clock in the evening.

Qian Yueqing answered the phone and said unexpectedly, "It should be past six in the morning over there? You got up so early?"

The voice on the phone was deep and energetic: "There will be a new round of negotiations at nine o'clock. We have to hold an internal meeting at 07:30. Tell me, what is the important news on WeChat? Will the US inflation rate rise or not?" Back down?"

Qian Yueqing went to the bar, poured a glass of whiskey, and slumped on the sofa: "Don't be kidding, you are not familiar with the old American financial market? Ah Zheng, let me tell you something personal. But are you busy with work now? Wait Let’s talk when you’re free, or contact me at night.”

Yuan Zheng's smile was very weak, with a little self-satisfaction: "I am busy with work 24 hours a day except sleeping. I have arranged a meeting at night. If the negotiations in the morning do not go well, at least two more emergency meetings will be added. You still Tell me now."

Qian Yueqing thought, but my topic seems not easy?He cleared his throat: "Didn't I come to Rongcheng to inspect the restaurant these two days? Guess who I met?"

Yuan Zheng answered calmly and seriously: "Zeng Guofan or Washington? Could it be Churchill?"

It's true.

"Stop talking nonsense! Do I have to go to hell?" Qian Yueqing was amused by him, and turned serious and said, "It's Ye Nanzhou."

Maybe he also knew the "special significance" of Ye Nanzhou in Yuan Zheng's life. As an old friend for many years, Qian Yueqing unconsciously put away his laughter.

But Qian Yueqing blurted out the name, thinking belatedly, it seems that there is no specific difference between it and "Damn".

Because Yuan Zheng was silent.

There was silence followed by a calm question: "Is this worth sending me a special message?"

Qian Yueqing always felt that he seemed to be covering up something, so he was pretending to be calm.

He sighed softly: "It doesn't mean anything else, I was thinking, if you didn't choose to go back to China to develop, maybe it had something to do with him. But now the times have changed, why don't you come back too? It's not interesting to stay in the United States. miss you."

Several of their brothers from similar families grew up together, except for Yuan Zheng who hangs out with Ye Nanzhou for a while, the others are tired of being together every day.

Even now, Yuan Zheng is abroad, and three or five people still travel long distances twice a year to gather around the world.

Of course, everyone sincerely hopes that Yuan Zheng can return to China. After all, it is convenient for contact and business cooperation.

Yuan Zheng said: "It doesn't matter. I'm not familiar with the domestic market, so it's better to be free here. Otherwise, I'll go back. The old man annoys me every day, and I can't stand it."

Qian Yueqing smiled, this is indeed a trouble.He is also talked about by his family every day. Career, work, marriage and childbirth are all common topics, and there is no day of peace.

He said: "No matter what you think, brother, I'll just say one thing anyway. If you don't return to China because he hasn't been in love these few years, it's really not worth it. He's already moved on, Ah Zheng."

The one who gave Qian Yueqing was still strangely silent.

Yuan Zheng spoke again, his tone became light and light, as if he didn't care, but he asked again: "Mr. Qian, why did you say that?"

Qian Yueqing conveyed to him the scene of meeting Ye Nanzhou tonight, and finally said: "The child is about the same age as my nephew. I said he is too. Gay marriage, isn't it cheating marriage? And have children? What if he My wife knew that he was gay before, how broke?"

Yuan Zheng seldom talked about Ye Nanzhou among a few friends, but when he mentioned it, it would not involve personal matters, especially the matter of Ye Nanzhou's bisexuality.

Therefore, what Qian Yueqing said was reasonable.

Yuan Zheng didn't seem to have heard the part behind Qian Yueqing, and asked casually, "How old are you?"

Qian Yueqing said: "My nephew is a little over three years old, probably about the same." After saying this, he felt that something was wrong, "Did he plan to get married when you just left the country?"

Yuan Zheng laughed in a low voice instead: "I never heard my mother mention it, it seems that I have to make up a big red envelope."

"Don't tell you, I didn't tell you to give red envelopes." Qian Yueqing felt that something was wrong when he heard him laugh, "Ah Zheng, there is actually one thing I haven't figured out. Who brought up the breakup back then? "

When Yuan Zheng chased Ye Nanzhou back then, they all knew about it when they were young.

Yuan Zheng went to England to study, and flew back to China again and again, fearing that Ye Nanzhou would run away.

For this matter, they often ridiculed Yuan Zheng for being infatuated.

However, this question seems to have strangled Yuan Zheng's lifeblood.

"I have to go to a meeting, let's talk about it next time."

Qian Yueqing didn't ask any more questions, only after hanging up the phone did he feel the smell——

What their brothers didn't understand back then, now they understand instantly.

It should be Yuan Zheng who was dumped by Ye Nanzhou.

Qian Yueqing threw the phone on the glass coffee table, and thought: Ye Nanzhou really has a harmless and gentle face for nothing, but he is actually a black heart in his bones.

Pitiful that his brother has been alone for so many years, not to mention dating, he is simply ascetic, just like being a monk.

orphanage.

Just as Xiao Ou was discussing photos with her father, Grandpa Chen knocked on the door and asked, "Xiao Ye, did you just say you wanted to find me?"

Xiao Ou lay on the bed and looked at the photos, without raising her head, she said to her father, "Dad, go talk to grandpa, Xiao Ou can look at it by herself."

Ye Nanzhou confirmed that there would be no problem for him to stay alone, and then told him: "Don't get out of bed, call Dad when you get off the ground, Dad and Grandpa don't go far outside the door."

"Hmm~" Xiao Ou gently stuffed the photos into the album, concentrating on how to put them better.

Ye Nanzhou walked out of the room, with the door ajar.

He whispered to Grandpa Chen: "Uncle Chen, I want to go see that old Mr. Tang. Can you make an appointment for me?"

Grandpa Chen patted the back of his head: "This matter? All right. I'll ask Xiao Tang. After you and Xiao Ou met, I also told Xiao Tang."

Xiao Tang in his mouth refers to Aunt Tang who took the initiative to find him at that time.

Grandpa Chen has been visiting Grandpa Tang from time to time these days, so he is quite familiar with him. "It should be fine, you can go and have a look. I don't think Old Tang is very good. If he knows you are going, maybe he can wake up. Hey."

Ye Nanzhou asked: "Then what is suitable for me to bring? Are health care products okay?"

Grandpa Chen said: "Just bring some seasonal fruits. He can't eat health care products, so he won't use them."

He talked about Grandpa Tang's physical condition in detail, and asked Ye Nanzhou about his father.

Ye Nanzhou didn't shy away from it this time, and directly told Grandpa Chen that he had hired a lawyer to handle the matter, and that it was being handled as a case.

After hearing this, Grandpa Chen stared and asked in surprise, "Is this considered a crime of abandonment? Going to jail?"

Ye Nanzhou said: "I don't know at the moment, I have to wait for the police's statement after the lawyer reports the case."

Grandpa Chen frowned, and glanced at the door: "Are you going to let Xiao Ou know?"

Ye Nanzhou shook his head: "No, I won't come forward myself, I will try my best to let a lawyer do it for me. Uncle Chen, I trouble you to keep this matter a secret. It's better not to disclose it to Aunt Chen?"

"Okay, okay." Grandpa Chen knew that this was very important, and it was a "grievance" between Ye Nanzhou and his father, so there was no need to publicize it.

Ye Nanzhou remembered what Xiao Ou said, and said to Grandpa Chen: "Uncle Chen, I think Auntie's eyes blinked a little too much, and Xiao Ou noticed it. It's serious. Do you want to find time to go to the hospital?"

Grandpa Chen suddenly sighed: "I know, she doesn't want to go. She said that it will be fine in a day, so there is no need to go."

"That won't work. The eye matter needs to be diagnosed and treated in time. I'll take my aunt to take some time." Ye Nanzhou said decisively, "Tell my aunt that if you don't go, I'll invite a private doctor I know to come to the orphanage."

"Okay! Then she would rather go to the hospital." Grandpa Chen smiled, and patted Ye Nanzhou on the shoulder, "Xiaoye, you have a heart. Thank you, Uncle Chen. I will contact Xiao Tang tomorrow morning and let you meet Old Tang as soon as possible." .”

Ye Nanzhou nodded.

After chatting, Ye Nanzhou watched Grandpa Chen leave, then opened the door and entered the bedroom.

The little baby on the bed had already slept soundly.

There were photo albums and photos spread out on the pillow, obviously unable to fight the drowsiness, and fell asleep after flipping through the photos.

Ye Nanzhou walked over lightly, and saw the "special signature" on the back of several photos at a glance.

Behind the signature he had signed before, there appeared a crooked five-pointed star with immature brushstrokes.

And between his name and the five-pointed star, there is a small heart.

Ye Nanzhou immediately understood that the five-pointed star represents the little lotus root, and the heart represents "love".

His chest was filled with warmth, and the love of Xiaooubao was like a big ball of cotton candy, filling his world.

Ye Nanzhou kissed Xiao Lotus, pulled the thin quilt for him, and put away the photos. The few signed by Xiao Lotus were carefully placed at the front of the album.

Dimming the lights in the room, Ye Nanzhou lay beside Xiaolian, with one hand resting on the baby's warm little body, and the other picking up the single photo of Xiaolian on the bedside.

There are lovely white clouds and rainbows on the top of the photo frame, which were chosen by Xiaolian himself.The photos that were put in were chosen by Ye Nanzhou. He hoped to have a single photo of Xiao Lotus.

He looked at the baby in the photo, and then at the real baby around him, and was moved for the countless times.

He thought that if the baby woke up early tomorrow, he would have to ask for his opinion. He wanted to put this photo on the desk in the office so that he could see the baby every moment.
