Chapter 98 (2/2)

“Come over first, I’ll think of something.”

Shen Fu agreed, feeling a lot better about his grandfather.

Shen Yan was the calmest of them because he knew that Shen Fu was no sitting duck. Plus, after pouring so much into the Shen Conglomerate, he deserved some rest. He wasn’t kidding when he said he was going to find love.

After celebrating the lantern festival at the Shen’s, Shen Fu didn’t go back to H City with Lin ShuYi and the children.

Shen Fu had graduated with a degree in finance and management, but he hadn’t touched it in so long, so he was bound to be out of practice. Old Master Shen wanted him to go and familiarize himself with the Shen Conglomerate for the first two days to avoid the board thinking he was some sort of noob who couldn’t be trusted with responsibilities.

Shen Fu had no complaints about this. If he was going to do this, he would be the best he could, otherwise he’d just be there to lose face. Shen Yan didn’t have any guilt in squeezing every last drop out of his own younger brother, delegating hard. He even had Shen Fu make him coffee.

Thus, there was always two hot guys hanging around the director’s office, and the crowd of unknowing secretaries and assistants swooned over them. “Those two brothers are so close. Oh, and second young master Shen is so handsome, too!”

Shen Fu: … quite an imagination you have there, can’t you tell that he’s bullying me, here?

Older brother Shen smiled calmly with his coffee.

On the other side, Lin ShuYi came home with his two kids to S City. Before, when Shen Fu was here, the house never felt empty, but now that he wasn’t here, it was like there was too much space. It had Lin ShuYi feeling weird.

Xiao Yu was a little displeased. Though he liked clinging to Lin ShuYi, he preferred to play with Shen Fu. Now there was only one of his two dads by his side, so even though he had mentally prepared himself, he still didn’t like it.

However, he could tell that Lin ShuYi was also having trouble getting used to it, so he did his best to put his own discomfort to the side and comfort Lin ShuYi. “Daddy, do you miss daddy Shen? Let’s go visit him in a few days.”

Lin ShuYi was stunned for a moment before he smiled, “Alright, but before then, Xiao Yu is going to start going to school, yes?”

Xiao Yu nodded. It was almost time to report to school for the new semester. Though Lin ShuYi wasn’t used to it, he calmed himself the best he could and took Xiao Yu to the school to apply. Since he had already made arrangements beforehand, it didn’t take long.

Xiao Yu smoothly integrated into the new environment, quickly becoming friends with the other children. TaoTao was now all Chen-ayi’s responsibility, but he still couldn’t leave Lin ShuYi’s side. If Lin ShuYi went to the restaurant, Chen-ayi would follow with TaoTao.

TaoTao was very well-behaved, and never distracted Lin ShuYi while playing by himself. However, sleeping was another thing. He would refuse to sleep unless Lin ShuYi was there.

Their days soon became routine. Shen Fu would call Lin ShuYi every night, usually choosing to call before bedtime, asking if Xiao Yu was being good, if TaoTao was well-behaved and other things like that. Sometimes, he would choose to call after TaoTao and XiaoYu’s bedtime, and the contents of those calls weren’t appropriate for young ears, all you had to know was that Lin ShuYi would always have to run off to the bathroom after these calls, red faced.

Ever since the New Year’s, Tang Shuang’s workload had shoot up. Lin ShuYi was teaching him more and more, and at a very fast pace. He obviously knew why, but ignoring an employee’s rights because you wanted to be lovey-dovey was just mean. However, he still studied diligently, not just because he liked cooking, but also because he didn’t want to let Lin ShuYi down.

Shen Fu didn’t leave for long, just for a month or so after the New Year’s. Lin ShuYi, however, felt like he had been waiting for a year. He’d probably feel time drag by even more if it weren’t for all the things there to take his mind off it. Shen Fu had also come back for one or two days every week. Lin ShuYi was a little embarrassed at how clingy he was being.

Luckily, Lin SHuYi wasn’t the only one who couldn’t bare the separation. Shen Fu didn’t have an easy time either. Every day, he’d get hard from listening to Lin ShuYi’s voice. He was really tempted to abandon his responsibilities and quit.

However, recently Shen Yan kept being late and leaving early for personal reasons, as well as spacing out during work hours. His drop in efficiency was terrifying, and Shen Yan had finally fallen from the pedestal of perfection people had placed him on in their hearts, becoming a mortal that was also troubled by life. However, this change hadn’t made him any less popular, having the opposite effect instead. For example:

“Has boss found someone? He’s so cute when he spaces out randomly and smiles at the window.”

“Yeah! I wonder who’s the lucky girl; I’m so jealous.”

“Never mind that. Have you only noticed the boss’ mood? What about second young master Shen? His temper had been terrifying recently.”

“Because of unresolved sexual tension of course. It’s understandable, having to part from his lover for so long.”

“For so long? It’s just a month. Plus, he rans back every week like the hounds of hells are on his tail.”

“Tsk tsk, how long do you expect him to stay abstinent when he’s so full of youthful energy? Last time I even overheard him talking dirty over the phone in the tearoom.”

“Really? Details please…”

Shen Fu’s entire face was stormy, holding his Blue Mountain coffee as he stood outside of the tearoom.

Could white collars these days no longer get by without gossiping? And about their superiors, too? Did they think their bonus was too big or something?

Shen Fu cleared his throat, face dark, and the office workers in the tearoom scattered like startled animals.

They were only gossiping out of love!!! Please don’t hurt us…
