Their first meeting

YanJun hesitated. He knew the man could be very shameless and someone as thin-skinned as he was would not be able to survive that.

He walked into the study not expecting to see a little boy sitting on the boss' lap. Ah! That was the first he saw someone other than himself sitting on that sacred lap. Hmm!

His hands suddenly became sweaty as he walked to the table. The boss was either ignoring his presence or he was too engrossed in the conversation he was having with the little boy as he pointed at the screen of his tablet.

YanJun felt very out of place as he stood in front of the desk impatiently waiting for his presence to be acknowledged while feeling too insignificant in the room with such a lovely display of familial love to announce it to get their attention.

"Why do you look like you want to leave this instant?" Lu Mingyu asked him without raising his head to look at him. His son also seemed too engrossed in whatever they were doing that he did not even spare him a glance.

The little boy raised his head and a pair of ocean green eyes stared at him excitedly he smiled so brightly when their gaze met.

YanJun was so taken aback he wanted to escape that moment because the change was so sudden and the boy was so dazzling to behold that you would almost think he was not real. YanJun subconsciously concluded that the little boy will break the hearts of a lot of girls when he grows up.

He stood fixed watching the boy's lips move but he heard no sound as I moved his gaze from the boy to the big boss holding the boy. The resemblance was undeniable but the boy also looked like a Caucasian, he had to be of mixed race.

The boy inherited the shape of his father's eyes. The boy's brow furrowed as he continued speaking but YanJun did not hear the sound of the boy's footstep as he approached him hurriedly and lifted the tablet to him.

He swallowed as he could not stop the spot the difference and similarity game he was playing between the father and son pair. "Are you okay," he heard the boy ask him worriedly when his ears decided to begin functioning again.

He swallowed and nodded mechanically before the boy stretched the tablet to him once again. "Do you want to beta test this app?" the boy asked excitedly. YanJun could not resist that cuteness as he nodded once again like a robot. "Really?" the boy asked shocked by his sudden question.

"Yes, I will," YanJun replied as he could not imagine denying the boy of anything. He has always believed he was not good around kids because he does not get to spend much time around them.

He could remember how shy his brother's children were that they did not let him touch them when they met when he visited China for his concert. The past event scared him but he knew he was not going to make himself scary to any child.

He was open to having a short conversation with them but with what this boy asked him, he will need a lot of assistance because he has never done it before.

"I don't know how to do it," he was forced to inform the boy.

"It is easy. I created the app and it is getting beta tested, I want you to test it for me," the boy told him with a slight pout.

YanJun concluded that his refusal was made too obvious to the child and must have made him sad. Seeing the cute pout, YanJun felt guilty as he was forced to nod in agreement. "You could teach me."

The boy's pout stopped as he smiled so cutely. The beautiful pair of dimples on both cheeks made YanJun unable to hold back that pressing urge to touch his cheeks. The cheek he touched was so warm and soft. The smoothness felt like touching a neatly peeled boiled egg. He had to hide his jealousy deep down.

"You two seem to get along pretty well. I am sure you will not be bored around each other," Lu Mingyu commented as he approached them. They seem to get along too well! Was this expected?

"Dad, he agreed to beta test my app," the little boy immediately shared the good news with his father.

His app!? A boy this young?! None of it made sense at all. It was too weighty a truth for him to believe. He swallowed as he tried to tone down his surprise.

"You should not bother him too much," Lu Mingyu said before ruffling the boy's light brown hair.

"No, he is not bothering me. It has been too quiet in here for a while now." When he was done speaking, he could not believe he just said that. He must have fallen so deeply for the cute charm. He just discovered something new about himself, he liked kids?

"I used to listen to your songs a lot," the boy told him perhaps to lighten the mood.

"Really? I hope you loved them," YanJun asked subconsciously hoping he agrees positively.

"Yes, I do. You have a soft, gentle voice," the boy replied with a happy smile. Did such a young child praise his voice so gentlemanly yet he made a gentleman like him blush?

YanYan did not know that the little boy that was holding onto one of his fingers had warmed his heart so quickly. The boy forced him to think about home, his family members, and how it must have been very lonely for the boy to live alone in this home with his very serious-minded father.

From what he saw earlier, he was considering cleaning off the word serious-minded, with the scene witnessed earlier but when he remembered he was kidnapped, he decided to add, cold and lacking human sympathy to his list.
