chapter 24 Uncle Chen will be my dad

"You are such an interesting person. Do I need to repeat that? Tsk… why are you so masochistic?" Allen Chen said amusedly. The fat security guard was furious. He pulled out his security baton, and raised it as if he was about to strike Allen Chen. He said, "You want trouble, don't you?" "I'll make it up to you!" "Stop!" A middle-aged security guard noticed the situation from afar and hurried over. He said, "What's going on, Little Fetty?" "Uncle Bao, this guy wanted to disrupt the peace and insult me!" Little Fetty was startled and quickly put down his baton and said, "I was just trying to scare him, not really hurt him." "Nonsense!" Uncle Bao sternly said. "Apologize to this gentleman right now!" "Uncle Bao?" Little Fetty was stunned. Some people who acted like big bosses in BMWs and Mercedes had been to this place, and Uncle Bao had never asked them to apologize. "He's just a salesman. Apologizing to him would lower the status of Tianmei Courtyard." "Outrageous!" Uncle Bao's face grew more serious. "If you don't apologize, you can leave right now!" "What?" Little Fetty was shocked. Uncle Bao stared at him coldly. "Fine, you can leave now." "No, please, Uncle Bao, I was wrong!" Little Fetty was frightened and quickly bowed to Allen Chen, saying, "I'm sorry, sir. Please forgive me and give me a chance to start anew!" "I promise, I'll never look down on people again." "Sir, what do you think?" Uncle Bao asked in a low voice, in a questioning tone. Allen Chen glanced at him and said, "How to get to Tianmei Building 1?" "Sir, once you enter the main gate, just go straight ahead. The first villa is Building 1," Uncle Bao said with a smile. "Do you need me to show you the way?" "No need. Focus on training your staff well in the future," Allen Chen waved his hand and walked ahead. Uncle Bao immediately said, "Yes, thank you for your understanding, sir." "Little Fetty, why don't you say thank you?" "Thank you, sir, for your great kindness!" Little Fetty immediately lowered his head. But after Allen Chen walked away, he looked unconvinced. "Uncle Bao, is some big shot coming to inspect us?" "This guy is too lucky! If it were any other time, we would've given him a beating..." "You fool!" Uncle Bao coldly snorted. "The one who's really lucky is you!" "Me?" "Why do you think I rushed over just now? That young man looks ordinary, but he brought Ms. Li back yesterday!" Uncle Bao sneered. "And by the way, Ms. Li lives in Building 1 at Tianmei Courtyard." "So, he's..." "Do you understand now?" "I understand, I understand everything. I promise to be respectful when I see this gentleman in the future, even more respectful than to my grandfather!" Little Fetty said quickly. Uncle Bao snorted and said, "Do you think you still have such a chance?" "Go to the backyard gate immediately. We won't need you here anymore." "Uncle Bao!" "What, do you want to leave?" Uncle Bao said coldly. Little Fetty didn't dare to argue. "Yes, Uncle Bao, I'll go to the back gate right now." Ding, ding! Allen Chen had just pressed the doorbell of the villa's courtyard when the iron gate automatically opened. A young woman who was gorgeous but not ostentatious, with a hint of joy in her coolness walked out of the house. "Don't press it again, come on in." "Sister Layla," Allen Chen said with a smile. The woman was Layla Li, dressed casually in home clothes, and she had an elegant yet unpretentious style. Her clothing couldn't hide her exceptional figure, like a snake in the water, shining brightly. She waved at Allen Chen and said, "You're so quick. It's not even half an hour, and you're here. Did you fly here or something?" "Sister Layla, you live in the city center, so no matter where I come from, I can arrive quickly," Allen Chen said with a smile. "I got here so fast thanks to your blessings, Sister Layla.” "You've got a silver tongue, haven't you? You didn't sweet-talk any young girls on your way here, did you?" Layla Li said with a smile. Allen Chen raised both hands innocently. "I swear, I only say these things to you, Layla. If you don't believe me, get me drunk later, and I guarantee I'll say the same things I'm saying now." "In broad daylight, why would I want to get you drunk?" "Well, you can get me drunk at night." "What are you talking about? Not serious." Layla Li's heart raced a bit as she said, "Come on in." "Grace said she wants to give you a gift." "Oh, that's great." Allen Chen was a little surprised. He had never received a gift from a child before. Although he and Nora Bai had been married for many years, Nora Bai had always refused to have children. Either because of income issues or work issues, Allen Chen was not allowed to have children. Thinking of Grace's innocent smile, Allen Chen's steps became much lighter. Layla Li's house was spacious, and decorated in a Western European style, but it was not overly grand. Instead, it had a bright, refreshing, and open feel to it. The table was filled with delicious food, and Grace was lying on the table. "Shh, she's asleep," Layla Li placed her index finger in front of her lips and said quietly. "I'll go get your gift." "No, let's take her to her room to sleep. When she wakes up, she can give me the gift," Allen Chen quickly shook his head. Layla Li thought for a while, "You are right." Then, she tiptoed to hug Grace, but at this moment, Grace started to talk in her sleep. "Daddy." "Hmm?" Layla Li was stunned for a moment. "Daddy," Grace murmured. "Uncle Chen, please be my Daddy. Mommy likes you, and Grace likes you too!" "Oh!" Layla Li was startled, her cheeks turned red immediately, and she hurriedly explained, "Don't… don't listen to the nonsense of a child." "Allen Chen, don't get me wrong." "I understand. After all, her biological father is..." Allen Chen said with a smile. A flash of resentment flashed across Layla Li's face, she interrupted him and said, "Don't mention that person, okay?" A person like him, if he were to be called a father, even scorpions and snakes would be considered beneficial insects! "Alright, I won't mention it again," Allen Chen nodded, picked up Grace, and asked softly, "Where is her bedroom?" "This way," Layla Li led the way. Her bedroom was on the second floor. Allen Chen put Grace on the bed, then slowly retreated to the door, closed the door, and said with a smile, "How many hours does she usually have to sleep?" "About an hour," Layla Li said. "Let's eat first." "Okay," Allen Chen nodded. Layla Li turned around and walked downstairs. But at this moment, her feet twisted and she immediately fell down the stairs. "Ah!" "Sister Layla, be careful!" Allen Chen quickly reached out and hugged her. Thump, thump, thump! Several times! The two of them fell downstairs together. If it weren't for the fact that the stairs in the villa building were spiral and each step was relatively low, they might have had a concussion. "Ouch," Chen Ming took a deep breath, and just as he was about to ask Layla Li if she was okay, he suddenly caught a whiff of a milky fragrance.
