The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

When Shen Yanran saw her two adorable children calling out to her so cutely, she couldn't resist and immediately stretched out her arms to hug them tightly.

While kissing their cute, rosy little faces, she said happily, "Mommy's little darlings, Mommy missed you so much! Did you miss Mommy too?"

The twins also kissed Shen Yanran on the cheek, as if to express their longing.

Gu Zitong, who had been silently watching them from the sidelines for a long time, felt both envious and jealous.

During their time living in the orphanage, children of similar age were the most popular among those who wanted to adopt children.

Because they are innocent and adorable, young, and don't remember much, adopting them and keeping them around makes it easier to develop a bond.

But people his age are the least popular; they eat a lot but don't have much strength to work, so they're disliked no matter how you look at them.

They were often bullied in places where no one could see them.

Therefore, he really didn't want to go back to living in that kind of place.

Now that he has entered Shen Yanran's life, he must make a good impression and absolutely cannot let her or that unfriendly man know that he is jealous of their biological child.

The twins kissed Shen Yanran for a while, then suddenly saw a stranger much younger than his mother standing behind them. They pointed at him curiously and made two noises, as if asking who he was.

Shen Yanran hadn't seen the twins in so long that she almost forgot about Gu Zitong after spending some time with them.

The two little ones were getting rounder and rounder, just like the lucky babies in the New Year paintings. She really couldn't carry them anymore, so she got up and brought Gu Zitong to their side, saying, "This is your brother Gu Zitong. Come and say hello to your brother."

The twins' understanding of the word "older brother" still lingers on their equally overweight orange cat at home.

However, they could also see that this older brother was different from the cat.

They couldn't speak, but they could only gesticulate wildly and laugh as they looked at him, as if welcoming him.

Shen Yanran breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the two little ones weren't shy around strangers, otherwise it would have been awkward if they had started crying.

Then she explained to Gu Zitong, "Tongtong, these are the children Auntie mentioned to you. The older sister is called An'an, and the younger brother is called Ningning. If you feel bored at home, you can play with them. It's a lot of fun."

Gu Zitong looked nervously at the two almost identical cute little faces. Just a moment ago he was jealous that they could get everything he wanted so easily, but at this moment he was defeated by their innocent smiles.

Gu Zitong unconsciously praised, "They are really good-looking."

No one is happiest when their children are praised, and Shen Yanran smiled proudly. Then, looking at Gu Zitong's face, which was gradually regaining its good complexion, she said softly, "Tongtong is also very pretty, but he's too thin. Once he gets enough nutrition, he'll definitely be a handsome little boy!"

Gu Zitong used to be the kind of child everyone praised, but everything changed after her father was in a car accident.

He became a negative example for others in educating their children; whenever they disobeyed, they would use him as an example.

"See that dark and ugly little beggar? If you don't study hard, your mother will abandon you and you'll end up like him, looking for food in the trash can."

"Don't take your good fortune for granted, kid. You want all kinds of toys. We have so many toys at home. If you don't want to play with them, I'll give them all to that little brat next door!"

Nowadays, most children are only children, and each one is a treasure in their family. They were disgusted by Gu Zitong's dirty and messy appearance.

After hearing what the adults said, they all became much more obedient.

At that time, Gu Zitong also wanted to come out clean every day, but at his uncle's house, apart from letting him drink tap water to survive, he was never allowed to take a hot bath.

He was feeling really bad, so he went to wash in the river where no one was.

Not to mention others looking down on him, even he himself felt that he was not even as good as a stray dog.

Shen Yanran didn't know what Gu Zitong was thinking with his head down, but when she saw his bangs that had already covered his eyes, she realized that his hair was too long and needed to be cut.

She reached out and gently stroked Gu Zitong's fluffy little head, asking softly, "Tongtong, your hair is too long, shall Auntie cut it for you?"

Feeling the warmth on her head, Gu Zitong suddenly felt much better and nodded with a smile, saying, "Okay."

Shen Yanran used to cut her own bangs and thought her skills were pretty good, so she felt that cutting Gu Zitong's hair would be no problem.

Gu Zitong naturally had no objections; after all, he always cut his own hair with scissors when it grew long.

Shen Yanran acted immediately, taking Gu Zitong to the bathroom and comparing her appearance in front of the mirror. "Tongtong, do you have any requirements for your hairstyle?"

Gu Zitong looked innocent and seemingly without desires, saying, "No."

Shen Yanran thought that the little boys in the TV shows or movies she used to watch all seemed to have watermelon heads, which were quite cute, so she wanted to give Gu Zitong the same haircut.

But with limited tools at her disposal, how could she possibly cut that circle properly?

Shen Yanran thought for a while and finally saw a small round basin next to the bathtub, which she used to use to water the two children when bathing them. She thought it might be worth a try.

So she took the small round basin and placed it directly on Gu Zitong's head; it was the perfect size.

Gu Zitong was stunned, completely unaware of what Shen Yanran was trying to do by putting a basin on his head, but he dared not move.

Shen Yanran flexed her wrists and said confidently to Gu Zitong in the mirror, "Tongtong, Auntie will give you a watermelon head haircut in a bit. Close your eyes so that no stray hairs fall in."

Next, Shen Yanran began to "wildly" style Gu Zitong's head, following her vision of an adorable watermelon-shaped hairstyle.

However, the more she cut, the more flustered she became. The scissors in her hand seemed to be out of her control, and she could never cut well. She wanted to cut a round and cute watermelon head, but in the end, it turned out to be worse than what a dog chewed.

Shen Yanran immediately stopped cutting; she couldn't cut any further, otherwise she would have to shave her head bald.

Gu Zitong had kept her eyes closed. When she felt Shen Yanran stop cutting her hair, she thought the haircut was finished and opened her eyes.

When he first saw his hair in the mirror, which was uneven and messy, he thought he was seeing things. He closed his eyes and opened them again to look, but it was still the same.

He was certain he hadn't misread it.

To be honest, this hairstyle is even worse than the first one he cut himself...

Shen Yanran never expected that cutting her own hair and cutting someone else's hair were two different things; she really messed up too quickly.

She could only apologize to Gu Zitong and say, "I'm so sorry, Zitong, I made a mistake and the haircut looks a bit bad. How about I take you to a hair salon to get it redone?"

It's so ugly, even she can't stand looking at herself.

Although Gu Zitong was a little startled at first, she didn't want to spoil Shen Yanran's intentions, so she shook her head and said, "It's okay, Aunt Yanran. I think it's fine. As long as the hair is short, it won't hurt my eyes."

His words made Shen Yanran feel even worse. This child was too good at comforting her. She was clearly ugly, yet he seemed quite satisfied.

Shen Yanran was reluctant to go out with such a strange hairstyle. "No, people will laugh at you. I'd better..."

Before she could finish speaking, her phone, which was in the bedroom, rang.

Shen Yanran put down the scissors and then instructed Gu Zitong, "Tongtong, wash your hair first, I'm going to answer a phone call."

The call was from Wenqian.

"Yanran, are you off today? Come with me to get a haircut." Since Wenqian got pregnant, she found long hair troublesome, and it took her forever to wash it every time, so she wanted to cut her hair short for convenience.

Song Yue was supposed to go with her, but she really didn't want to go with this straight man. He would say yes to everything she asked, which was too boring.

She should ask her best friend to keep her company.

Shen Yanran had kept her hospitalization a secret from Wen Qian, as she didn't want an eight-month pregnant woman to worry about her.

Haircut?

What a coincidence! She can bring Gu Zitong along.

"Okay, send me your address, I'll come over to find you, and I'll introduce you to someone while I'm at it."

Wenqian assumed it was an introduction to a friend and didn't think much of it. "Okay, then let's meet at the hair salon."

Just then, Gu Zitong came out after washing her hair.

Shen Yanran suddenly felt a sense of dread about the sight of him, so she quickly found a hairdryer and dried his hair. "Once your hair is dry, I'll take you to the hair salon to get it cut again, and I'll introduce you to my best friend while I'm at it."

Gu Zitong certainly wouldn't refuse to get to know people related to Shen Yanran. "Okay, I understand."

To prevent Gu Zitong from being laughed at on the street, Shen Yanran found a baseball cap in the closet and put it on him.

You have to admit, he does have a bit of a baseball prince vibe.

I'm sure Wenqian will like it after watching it for a while.

Before taking Gu Zitong out, Shen Yanran said goodbye to her two darlings and then instructed Aunt Chen, "Aunt Chen, please tidy up the guest room next to the nursery. Tongtong will stay there tonight. We won't be back for dinner, so you can just cook your own meal."

Aunt Chen glanced at the little boy standing at the door before nodding in agreement, "Yes, madam."

A short while later, Shen Yanran took Gu Zitong out.

Instead of immediately following Shen Yanran's instructions, Aunt Chen took out her phone and dialed a mysterious number. "Madam, hello, this is Aunt Chen. Something big happened at home today, and I feel I have to report it to you. Madam suddenly brought a seven or eight-year-old boy home, saying that there was an accident at his home and he needs to stay here for a while. But I see how much Madam cares about him, and I feel that their relationship is not ordinary."

Upon hearing this on the phone, the person on the other end immediately frowned and angrily rebuked, "Shen Yanran is crazy! Why is she bringing a child home for no reason? What if he bullies my grandson?"
