Chapter 18. Free Bao from the baddies
Once Sheng Yeting asked, Bao pursed his lips in a miserable look and replied, "I was locked up by the bad aunt. The bad aunt didn't allow me to see my mommy and she asked me to stay here. She said if I misbehaved, she would…she would let those two baddies hit me."
Bao pointed at the men who held him in custody, saying hatefully, "These two, these are the baddies, together with that bad aunt!"
Sheng Yeting's eyebrows tangled in an accusatory frown and he tilted his head to glance at the two men. When they felt his ice cold gaze they lowered their heads, terrified.
"But I'm not afraid of them at all!" Bao shook off the miserable look he had just now and said cheerfully, "Because I knew that Daddy would come to save me!"
Bao hugged Sheng Yeting's neck and leaned to him. The soft, waxy voice of a child fell into Sheng Yeting's ears, and his cold heart was rather touched.
The bodyguard at his side saw that his boss didn't resist Bao's touching and they could obviously feel that the cold vibe which their boss always gave off had become much lighter.
The two bodyguards were somewhat dumbfounded. This was the first time that they saw their boss being like that.
"Hmm…why did that bad aunt want to lock you up?" asked Sheng Yeting. He remembered that Gong Maye said that Bao was hidden by her father but she didn't say the reason. He was merely asking without thinking much and did not expect that a little kid like Bao would say something of value.
However, beyond Sheng Yeting's expectations, Bao was much cleverer than he thought.
"After Daddy left the hospital that day, Grandpa let the bad aunt take me away to lock me up and didn't let me see Mommy. The bad aunt said that if I was locked up, Mommy would do what grandpa asked her to do." Speaking of this, Bao snorted heavily. "Bad aunt and Grandpa are all bad people! They bully Mommy and me!" Although Bao was little, he could speak logically.
Sheng Yeting was more or less in shock after hearing what Bao said. That Mr. Gong's actions were nothing less than kidnapping, and he dared to do such things to his birth daughter and his grandson. What kind of father was he?
Sheng Yeting couldn't help recalling Gong Maye who burst into his room earlier; "President Sheng, this is really an accident. I thought Bao was brought to this room and I was here to look for him."
What she had explained to him was echoing in his ears. Sheng Yeting felt a rush of annoyance. 'It seems like I really misunderstood her.'
But it had nothing to do with him! He lowered his head, looking at Bao in his arms. Bao gave him a sweet smile with a pair of clear and pure eyes. His heart couldn't help but immediately melt. A sigh spilled from his lips, Sheng Yeting held Bao tightly, turned around and strode out.
Seeing that he was going to take the child away, the two men guarding Bao hurried and rushed to snatch the child, but they were stopped by the bodyguards of Sheng Yeting. They could do nothing but watch the child being carried away.
Sheng Yeting took the child back to his room, put him down, took his phone and handed it to Bao. "Call your mother and ask her to come and pick you up."
Bao took the phone and after staring at it for a while he looked up at Sheng Yeting, asking, "What about Daddy? Don't you take Mommy and me home?"
What a naive question! Sheng Yeting was suppressing the flooding impatience from the bottom of his heart and explained dryly, "Little fellow, I'm not your father. Don't call me Daddy anymore."
But you are my father. Bao looked at him firmly.
Sheng Yeting raised his eyebrows. "I'm sorry, I don't have a son of your age. So stop calling me Daddy." As he was saying this, Sheng Yeting was about to leave.
Bao quickly reached out and grabbed his clothes. "Daddy..."
'Why is this kid so headstrong?!'
Sheng Yeting took a deep breath, pulled Bao's hands away and then bent over. A big guy and a little guy were staring at each other.
"Little fellow, listen to me carefully. I am not your Daddy!"
Judging him by his serious tone, Bao pouted with a petulant look, his eyes tearing up. He lowered his head to dial Gong Maye's number looking piteous. He failed to get through.
Sheng Yeting denied that Bao his son on the one hand, and on the other hand Gong Maye didn't answer his call. Bao was in total dismay all of a sudden and couldn't help sobbing. "Daddy doesn't want me and Mommy is gone. Bao is a just an abandoned kid."
Seeing this, Sheng Yeting was speechless. Looking at Bao's sobbing face, Sheng Yeting also didn't feel well. He Ran fingers through his hair uneasily. His heart was not that hard after all, so he held back his temper and said to Bao, "Stop crying. You can sleep with me tonight and wait for your mom picking your up tomorrow."
"Really?" Hearing his words, Bao stopped crying right away and looked at him with surprise.
Seeing that Bao had stopped crying right away, Sheng Yeting felt a sense of being tricked by the little one somehow. He nodded a little impatiently. "Truly." Then he checked his watch and said, "It's late. Go to bed."
Bao said, "Yea." He looked around and then reached out his little palm to grab Sheng Yeting's clothes gently.
"What is it now?" Sheng Yeting turned to him impatiently.
Since he had just been crying, Bao's eyes were rather crystal-like and he said shyly, "I haven't washed yet. Daddy, come to bathe me, okay?"
"What?" Sheng Yeting thought he had an auditory hallucination.
The little one wanted Sheng Yeting to bathe him?!
At the sight of his reaction, anyone could tell that Sheng Yeting wouldn't agree but Bao didn't give up. He pretended to be upset, lowered his head and said, "Daddy has not been around with Bao since I was little. Other children can have their Daddy to bath them. Bao really envies them. Bao also wants Daddy to bathe me."
'This kid!'
A burst of impatience surged into Sheng Yeting's heart, and a blue vein began throbbing in his forehead.
Bao took a peak at him, seeing that he was annoyed and then turned around slowly. "It's alright if Daddy doesn't like it." Then he moved slowly to the bathroom step by step.
Seeing his tiny figure reflecting such sadness, Sheng Yeting thought, 'Shit!'
Sheng Yeting strode forth and reached out his long arms, taking Bao in his arms. "Okay, I'll bathe you!"
Bao swept away his sadness and became cheerful instead. He kissed Sheng Yeting hard on the cheek. "Daddy, you're the best."
Sheng Yeting felt he was being tricked again.
After taking a bath, Bao had no clothes to change so he could only wear Sheng Yeting's shirt. Bao's small body was wrapped in a huge shirt, as if wearing a long skirt, which made him look like a girl.
Sheng Yeting helped Bao dry his hair and then let him lie down to sleep. Bao lay down obediently, as Sheng Yeting asked, but he couldn't go to sleep but tossed and turned on the bed.
Sheng Yeting felt that he was about to explode but still he asked patiently, "What's wrong?"
Bao whispered, "Daddy, can you sleep beside me?"
"What? Sleep beside you?" Sheng Yeting decided not to surrender this time. "No, you have to sleep alone."
After being refused, Bao's eyes immediately became red.
Sheng Yeting clenched his palm, took a deep breath and walked forward, lying down beside Bao directly. "Sleep!"
Bao was beaming at once, snugged beside him and closed his eyes sweetly.
'What the hell am I doing?!' Sheng Yeting tilted his head and glanced at Bao, sighing heavily in his heart. 'Why have I given up even my bottom line since I met this little thing?'
