Chapter 177: Chapter 177 He Must Not Touch That Pain

The first night of rivalry between the two grandpas, the daddy, Yan Han, was extremely tormented by the little boy. In the end, he automatically forfeited and exited the field himself.

For the first time, he felt like he might be getting old. The excessively loud sounds coming from the television made his heart feel like it couldn’t bear it, and the scene of those little brats jumping and yelling on the screen blurred his vision. Within minutes, his head started aching as if it were about to explode.

If these things were the favorites of his son, then he had to admit that he just couldn’t grow fond of them.

The ears of Yan Han, constantly vibrating due to the noise, finally managed to escape, covering his ears.

"Baby, Daddy is going to take a bath, do you want to join?"

The little boy ignored his suggestion and continued to watch the dizzying scenes on the screen with total concentration.

Yan Han claimed he was going to take a shower. In reality, he returned to the study room to call Qin Xiu and several others who were responsible for investigating Zhu Qianying’s whereabouts.

"Grandpa, there have been no sightings of Ying Zi in recent years, not even in the last two years of aviation and high-speed train records," Qin Xiu stated.

The results of Qin Xiu’s investigations were, as always, within Yan Han’s expectations.

This was because, throughout these five years, he had always been paying close attention. As long as Zhu Qianying’s or Chen Jing’s name appeared in flight or high-speed train passenger lists, he would immediately receive the news.

The name Zhu Qianying had not appeared at all in these five years. On the other hand, Chen Jing had made numerous appearances. Unfortunately, each time, Yan Han experienced false hope.

Because those people named Chen Jing only shared the same name and surname, but were not Zhu Qianying’s mother, Chen Jing.

"Hm, continue paying attention."

"Sure, I’ve already sent the tender documents to your mailbox this afternoon. If you need to continue this interrupted meeting, let me know. I’ll call the team."

Qin Xiu, who had been working with Yan Han for many years, knew very well that the boss was not one to postpone today’s tasks to tomorrow.

Of course, the other high-ranking managers knew this, so they were mentally prepared for the fact that the meeting, which was interrupted by the young master at noon, would resume in the evening.

However, Qin Xiu, who was already prepared, heard his own boss say, "No, everyone gets a good rest tonight. We can continue at noon tomorrow."

Before Qin Xiu could react, he heard his boss ask him another question, "Do you usually play with your son and daughter at home?"

Qin Xiu got married a year after Yan Han’s marriage. Half a year into his own marriage, he had a daughter, and a year later, a son. Currently, his daughter is over three years old whereas his son is two.

"Of course! Sometimes, I return from the company utterly exhausted, only to have my daughter and son ride me like a horse. You wouldn’t understand the kind of suffering!"

The image of Qin Xiu acting like a horse with two little brats wielding a small whip on his back instantly appeared in Yan Han’s mind. Just imagining this scenario made him feel very bitter.

It seemed that compared to the two naughty children in Qin Xiu’s family, his own little boy was really quite good.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

But in fact, there is no happiness without comparison either.

After comparing his son with Qin Xiu’s children, Yan Han felt that he was actually quite happy!

Of course, this happiness was aside from his wife!

Touching upon this issue, Yan Han silently sighed again.

He had never expected that a person he considered unimportant would become a painful scar he couldn’t touch, just by the mention of her name.

The other people, like Qin Xiu, didn’t find any helpful information.

The more than thirty-year-old man remained a mystery.

After making the calls, Yan Han didn’t dare to stick around in the study room like usual, because his son was still in the living room.

He decided to go check on the little boy’s mood. If it was still okay, maybe he could get some information from him.

When Yan Han returned to the living room, the little boy had already turned off the television and was nestled in the sofa, reading a book.

Upon taking a closer look, Yan Han discovered that the young master was actually reading a fairy tale book in pure English.

"Son, can you understand this?"

As expected, his skepticism earned him a rolling of eyes from his son.

"Are you educated in a foreign language kindergarten?"

Even if that were the case, a child in a foreign language kindergarten could not possibly read at the level apparent in the little boy. Hence, Yan Han deeply believed that his son comprehended everything written in the book rather than just feigning cultured behavior.

The little boy shook his head, "No!"

"No?" Yan Han was momentarily confused about what his son’s terse reply meant.

For the first time, he truly understood the feeling of wanting to punch his conversational partner.

"I didn’t go to kindergarten!" The young master supplemented his previous response, seemingly in a good mood.

"Then can you understand what you’re reading?" In Yan Han’s understanding, learning to read required formal schooling. Even a prodigy needed the right environment to culture and develop their talent.

"Mommy taught me! Are you dumb?" The little master was indeed in a good mood, although it appeared that his foul-mouthed function had been activated along with his good mood.

As for Yan Han himself, he had barely ever self-studied. When he was young, his parents didn’t have much time to monitor him. Before the age of ten, he mostly lived with his grandparents in the capital city. The two old men adhered to traditional education norms. As such, despite skipping grades, his academics were always conducted in school.

"So, what all did your mommy teach you?"

It was only at this point that Yan Han realised he hardly knew Zhu Qianying at all.

He knew that she too had skipped grades, which was why she graduated from university at the age of eighteen and that she had always been an excellent student, the president of the student union in college...

However, these facts were gathered solely from documents. His understanding of her from personal interactions was practically zero.

So now, when he heard his son bring up Zhu Qianying, he was very curious.

Even if he couldn’t meet her in person, hearing about her daily life and past experiences could perhaps temporarily nourish his heart, which had been dry and empty for five years, right?

"She taught everything!"

Alright. As Yan Han eagerly hoped to hear more about Zhu Qianying’s daily life, the little master resumed his crisp speaking style.

Not getting the answer he wanted, Yan Han remembered his earlier conversation with Qin Xiu and carefully studied the little master’s facial expression. It seemed his mood was still pretty good.

"Baby, who sent you to the express company?"

The handsome man in his thirties was like a fishbone stuck in Yan Han’s throat, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"An uncle did!" The little master replied, seemingly unconcerned while continuing to flip through his book.

Yan Han secretly rejoiced, it seems extracting some information from the little boy wasn’t going to be as challenging as he thought.

"Baby, would that uncle happen to be your mommy’s...friend?"
