97: Chapter 97 Brave Pursuit
Shen Yan let out a chuckle.
How did Old Chen end up cursing himself in that too?
"Fine, then tell me, what is actually going on with you?"
Chen Guangke let out a deep sigh and poured himself another glass of wine.
"Old Shen, let me ask you, do you know Wu Ya likes you?"
Shen Yan was stunned.
He hadn't expected Chen Guangke to suddenly ask him such a question.
"Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"
Chen Guangke frowned, replying somewhat irritably, "Do you know or not?"
Shen Yan remained silent.
He found Chen Guangke a bit strange.
Having known Chen Guangke for so long, he had never seen him care so much about a girl.
A flash of inspiration struck his mind, and he thought of a possibility.
"Could it be that you like Wu Ya?"
Chen Guangke's face immediately turned red.
He stammered in reply, "When did I ever say I like Wu Ya? I was just asking if you know whether Wu Ya likes you."
Shen Yan didn't play games with him and directly told him about Wu Ya confessing to him.
"Originally, I wasn't planning to tell you about this, as it is her private matter... But since you already know, there's no need for me to hide it from you."
"I like Liu Hui, and I am already with Liu Hui now. There is no possibility between us."
Chen Guangke made an 'oh' sound and said nothing else.
Seeing that he was unwilling to say anything, Shen Yan tentatively asked, "So, are you thinking of pursuing Wu Ya?"
Chen Guangke took a nervous sip of wine.
"I never said that. I just... seeing how partial she is to you, and how she likes you... I just felt..."
Shen Yan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"You felt what?"
"Old Chen, we've been brothers for so many years. You don't need to hide this from me."
Chen Guangke glared at Shen Yan.
Was he trying to hide it from Shen Yan?
It was that he didn't know how to bring up the matter.
To be honest, he did have feelings for Wu Ya.
But Wu Ya wasn't interested in him!
She liked Shen Yan, not him!
"Yes! It's true that I like Wu Ya, but what does that matter? She doesn't like me..."
Shen Yan patted Chen Guangke's shoulder.
"What are you afraid of? If you like her, just go pursue her..."
"I also think Xiao Wu is a very good girl. Just go for it. Whether you succeed or not is another matter!"
Chen Guangke squinted his eyes.
"Really?"
"You don't mind?"
Shen Yan felt it was somewhat inexplicable.
What was there for him to mind?
He didn't like Wu Ya, and they had never been together.
"Mind what?"
Chen Guangke scratched his head.
"After all, Wu Ya likes you. If I pursue her..."
Shen Yan couldn't stand it anymore and slapped Chen Guangke right on the forehead.
"Are you even a man? If you like her, go pursue her! Stop dawdling here!"
The slap brought Chen Guangke back to his senses.
"You're right!"
"If you like her, you must pursue her!"
...
The two men talked late into the night.
They only closed their eyes to sleep when dawn broke.
"Daddy!"
Shen Yan was woken up by Youyou and climbed up from the sofa.
"Youyou... you're awake?"
Youyou replied to Shen Yan with a wronged expression, "Daddy... I'm hungry..."
Shen Yan picked up his phone and glanced at the time.
Oh no!
It was already past noon.
No wonder Youyou was starving.
"I'm sorry, Youyou, it's my fault. I'll order takeout for you right now!"
Saying that, he opened the food delivery app while shaking Chen Guangke awake.
"Hurry up and get up, it's already past noon!"
Chen Guangke groggily opened his eyes.
"Past twelve? Aren't we late?"
Seeing him still lying on the sofa, Shen Yan kicked him.
"Of course, we're late!"
"Hurry up and get up, wash up, and go to the company after eating, or I'll dock your pay!"
Chen Guangke rubbed his face with his hand.
"I know, I know!"
"Tsk! It's great being the boss. Even if you're late, no one docks your pay..."
Shen Yan couldn't help but laugh.
This Old Chen...
After eating, Chen Guangke rushed off to the company.
At home, Shen Yan asked Youyou, "Youyou, do you want to come to the company with Daddy again today?"
Youyou hesitated for a moment before replying, "I want to go to the amusement park to play..."
Shen Yan narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then pulled out the business card He Yunri had given him yesterday.
"Since Youyou doesn't want to come to the company with me, how about I find someone to play with you?"
Youyou opened her big eyes and asked, "Who is Daddy going to find to play with me?"
Shen Yan smiled, "I'll find someone Youyou likes to play with you..."
A moment later, he contacted the person recommended by He Yunri and arranged to meet them at home.
"Knock, knock, knock."
The door was knocked on.
Shen Yan walked over and opened the door.
"Are you the person Mr. He recommended?"
The other person nodded and extended their hand to Shen Yan.
"Hello, my name is Matt."
Shen Yan shook the other person's hand and welcomed him into the house.
"Hello, my name is Shen Yan."
"The main reason I asked you here today is to ask for your recommendation for a suitable Nanny..."
Before he could finish speaking, Matt laughed.
"I know about that. You already mentioned it on the phone. I selected four Nannies based on your requirements, and they are right outside the door now."
"Shall I let them in now?"
Shen Yan certainly wouldn't refuse.
Soon, the four Nannies came in.
They all looked like women in their forties.
"These Nannies are all very professional and reliable. You can ask them questions, and if you find a suitable one, we can finalize it today."
Shen Yan thought for a moment, then turned to Youyou and said, "Youyou, which auntie do you like?"
Youyou tilted her head, walked up to the aunts proactively, and asked, "Aunties, do you like watching cartoons?"
"Are you willing to watch cartoons with me?"
The four Nannies gave similar answers, and they were all very patient with Youyou.
No matter what Youyou asked them, they could answer the child's innocent questions with a smile.
After a round of questioning,
Youyou made her choice.
"I want this auntie to play with me!"
Youyou chose an auntie whose surname was Fang.
"Great! Since you like Auntie Fang, I'll have Auntie Fang stay and play with you!"
Saying that, Shen Yan signed the contract with Matt and Auntie Fang.
After the contract was signed,
Matt left.
As for Auntie Fang, she stayed to keep Youyou company.
"Then Auntie Fang, I'm leaving Youyou in your care. If there are any emergencies, just contact me anytime."
Auntie Fang nodded and said, "You can go to work with peace of mind. I will definitely take good care of your child!"
