I’ve never actually thought about this before.
Although she knew that he didn’t like her, and that chasing after him would not be something easy, wasn’t she already aware about this before? Nonetheless, she cheered herself up so that she would get him no matter how difficult it was.
Chasing after a cold-hearted and feelingless man like him was never an easy task to begin with.
Besides herself, even Su Jiu—who had been a secretary alongside him for so long—did not manage to stir his heart even once.
Secretary.
Blinking, Yan turned to look at Little Bean.
“Little Bean, do you have faith in your Aunt Yan?”
“Yeah?” Looking at her cluelessly, Little Bean was puzzled by how she appeared demotivated a second ago but was suddenly fine again; she even appeared to be more confident now.
“I think… I might still stand a chance! I won’t be working for your mom again after this. I’ll apply to become the secretary to the CEO of Han Group!”
Hearing this, Little Bean’s eyes were suddenly filled with grievance.
“Aunty Yan, if you’re not helping Mommy, wouldn’t Mommy get busier?”
“You little brat, all you care about is your mom. Even without me, she can still hire someone else. An employee like me can be hired with just a little money. However, it’s not the same for your uncle; there might not be another person like Han Qing for me to chase if I miss my shot this time.”
After saying all of that, Yan felt there was something wrong with herself. Little Bean was only a five-year-old boy, so why did she even tell him all of this? He would not understand any of it anyway.
Thinking about it, Yan slapped her forehead.
“Never mind, forget that. It’s not like a little brat like you would understand such matters; I’ll bring this up to your mom when she’s back later. After I get your uncle, there’s nothing else to worry about. Then, I’ll come back to help out at your mommy’s company.”
While indulging in the thoughts of her possible future, Yan’s expression and eyes suddenly turned sweet.
Little Bean shook his head helplessly as he looked at his Aunt Yan before saying in an elderly tone, “Aunt Yan, I don’t mean to discourage you, but the journey is still too far for you.”
“The journey is too far for me?” Turning around to look at Little Bean, Yan asked, “Where did you hear that from? Since when did you learn how to say things like this?”
“Oh, my teacher taught me that,” Little Bean replied calmly.
“Your teacher?” Yan narrowed her eyes while biting her lip. “That’s strange—I thought you’re only in kindergarten. Why is your teacher teaching you this?”
“When our teacher was teaching us last time, he told us that we’re still young and there’s more to learn in the future; that’s why he taught us that line.”
After thinking about it again, Yan felt that what he had said made sense, so she nodded and did not say anything more.
Seeing that she did not continue on with the topic, Little Bean was finally able to relax. Luckily, he was smart enough and got away with it.
“It shouldn’t be a problem for me to resign. However, what should I do if your uncle disagrees later when I start working there?” Yan asked while unlocking the password to the door when they reached the doorstep.
What can you do?
It’s already a given fact that Uncle does not seem to be interested in women, and Aunt Yan is already being obvious about her interest toward him. Even if she applies for the secretary role for the CEO of the company, Uncle would probably not even want to see her, let alone hire her.
After thinking about it, Little Bean suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at the back of Yan’s head with pity.
Pitiful Aunt Yan; if I were to compare her with Mommy, there are many men chasing after Mommy. However, not only is no one chasing after Aunt Yan, she has to chase after a man herself—and a difficult target at that.
“Sigh!”
After thinking about it, Little Bean could not help but let out a deep sigh.
Yan heard him letting out a sigh when she was opening the door and asked curiously, “What is there for you to be sighing about at such a young age? Go in quickly. Why don’t we have some noodles tonight?”
“Sure, Aunt Yan.”
Bang!
As the door closed behind them, Little Bean changed his shoes at the entrance to wear his slippers before going back to his room upstairs with his little backpack.
Opening the door to his room, he promptly left his backpack on the table and went to Han Muzi’s room to retrieve her laptop before going back to his room.
After locking the door, Little Bean switched on the laptop immediately.
Previously, he had set up a GPS on his mother’s mobile phone so that he could locate her whenever and wherever.
After knowing his mommy was at the airport, Little Bean blinked his black, marble-like eyes and started locating another person after a moment’s thought.
He discovered that both of them were indeed at the airport together.
Pfft! Covering his mouth while chuckling, Little Bean wondered if he was finally going to meet his father. However, after recalling the things that Daddy had done to Mommy before, Little Bean snorted.
Stupid Daddy; he still has a lot of debts to repay.
The reason why he hoped his Mommy and Daddy would get back together sooner was so that he could use his identity to blackmail or extort Ye Moxuan.
This way, Little Bean could let him know how great his son was!
Also, it was to make clear that there would be consequences for mistreating his Mommy!
Using his fingers to type swiftly on the keyboard, Little Bean logged into his group chat.
The group chat went crazy the moment he appeared.
Fatty: ‘Oh my! I think I saw a ghost!’
Aeolus: ‘I think I saw it too. Oh no, it’s even scarier than a ghost!’
After seeing the string of messages, Little Bean was a little speechless as he typed.
Bean Paste: ‘Why have I become a ghost?’
Yam: ‘You haven’t appeared in so long, and when you do, you’re like a ghost. If you’re not a ghost, then what are you?’
Bean Paste: ‘…’
French Fry: ‘Little Bean, you’ve finally reappeared! We missed you so much. What has been going on with you? Us brothers couldn’t reach out to you at all, so maybe you should just give us your contact information.’
Give them his contact information? Thinking of his young age, Little Bean pursed his lips before he continued to type on the keyboard.
Bean Paste: ‘No way, my mom won’t let me!’
Fatty: ‘???’
Yam: ‘????’
Aeolus: ‘?????’
French Fry: ‘??????’
Row after row of question marks immediately swept across the screen, and Little Bean did not respond for a long time.
Aeolus: ‘I didn’t read it wrongly, did I? What did the boss just say? His mother won’t let him?’
French Fry: ‘I’m about to die of laughter. Is it possible that our mysterious boss is a mommy’s boy? The type who only follows his mommy’s orders and doesn’t have a say whatsoever?’
Yam: ‘I have this bad hunch. Boss… Are you still very young?’
Fatty: ‘Whichever way you put it, it really does seem to be the case. Boss, have you just come of age?’
Just come of age? Blinking, Little Bean typed.
Bean Paste: ‘No, that’s not it.’
Fatty: ‘You scared me to death there; that’s what I was saying. How can the boss be just a kid? Damn you, French Fry, for blindly leading the flow of conversation. I hate it the most when you do that.’
However, just as Fatty sent his message, Little Bean sent another message.
Bean Paste: ‘I’m five this year.’
