(61) Hello, Neighbor

Fu Yunruo went to open the door and saw a tall young man standing by outside. The long black windbreaker on his body was swaying gently with the wind.

“Mr. Yue?” Fu Yunruo couldn’t hide her surprise when she saw the person, “You…” Why was Si Yue here? Did he learn they were moving to Beijing and thus coming for a visit? But the security didn’t inform her of his arrival.

Before Fu Yunruo could say a word, Si Yue had said, “I saw your figure just now. At first, I thought I had mistaken it, so I came to see. Unexpectedly, it was really you.”

“Wait, do you also live here?” Fu Yunruo was even more surprised. She had come to the villa several times prior to today and occasionally saw other residents of the community, but she had never seen Si Yue.

Si Yue pointed to the villa next door, “That’s my home.”

“What a coincidence…”

“Did you move here too?” Si Yue glanced in, “It’s really a coincidence.”

“Yeah.” Since Si Yue left the village, they seldom had contact again. From the news on the internet, Fu Yunruo knew that Si Yue was abroad most of the time and seemed to be very busy. Even Yuan Xin was too busy to care about Wenwen, so Fu Yunruo told her son not to bother them. Fortunately, Wenwen was sensible. After Fu Yunruo explained it to him, he no longer constantly asked to talk with Si Yue.

But on Wenwen’s fourth birthday, a package arrived from Beijing with a birthday gift from Si Yue. Therefore, Fu Yunruo knew that he still cared about Wenwen.

Fu Yunruo finally reacted and hurriedly made way, “Come in.”

Fu Yunruo brought Si Yue into the house. Wenwen’s reaction upon seeing Si Yue was very big. The boy quickly threw away the bag in his hand and ran over with his short legs to hug Si Yue’s thighs, “Uncle Yue!”

“Uncle Yue, I miss you so much! Did you come to see me?”

“Uncle also misses you so much.”

Seeing that Wenwen still remembered him, Si Yue was in a good mood and leaned over to pick him up. Feeling the sturdy weight, he pinched the boy’s now rounder cheeks and nodded approvingly, “Wenwen is getting fat again.”

Wenwen, who was originally very excited: “…”

Wenwen’s fat buttocks wiggled as he struggled to get free of Si Yue’s hug. Once he landed back on the floor, he quickly ran to his mother, facing his back at Si Yue angrily.

Humph, he’s very angry!

How could Uncle Yue say that he was fat as soon as they met? Did he think that a child didn’t need a face, huh? Besides, he wasn’t fat, he just wore too many clothes! Come summer, he would lose much weight and get lean again!

Fu Yunruo held her forehead, exasperated. Si Yue knew that Wenwen was sensitive about his weight, so why did he keep stepping on the landmine?

However, Fu Yunruo rarely intervened in Wenwen’s interactions with others, so she didn’t say anything.

Seeing the boy’s reaction, Si Yue just smiled before greeting Uncle Guo and others.

When Chi Weicheng heard Si Yue say that he lived here, he felt doubtful for a moment. As far as he knew, Si Yue’s house shouldn’t be in this community. But Chi Weicheng’s doubt didn’t last long. Si Yue was a very famous actor, and it was normal for him to have many properties. There was nothing strange with him owning a few villas and taking turns living between them.

Uncle Guo just snorted coldly at Si Yue before barking to Chi Weicheng, “What are you doing?! Bring these in now!”

Chi Weicheng smiled apologetically at Si Yue, then hurriedly carried Uncle Guo’s luggage into a room.

Fu Yunruo poured a glass of water for Si Yue, cleared a part of the sofa for him to sit down, and then said apologetically, “Sorry, we have just moved today, so it’s still very messy now.”

“No, it’s my fault for intruding when you are busy.”

Si Yue then glanced at Wenwen, who was following behind his mother. The little guy was obviously still angry and refused to look in Si Yue’s direction. His little eyes, however, would sneak a glance from time to time.

Although Si Yue hadn’t been in contact with the mother and son for almost half a year, he had always paid close attention to them, and listening to the report from the person he assigned to watch over them in secret had become his favorite past time after a long and hard day at work.

Si Yue’s participation in the variety show a while ago caused him to neglect his company’s affairs quite a bit. As a result, a pile of backlog work was awaiting his return, plus the heap of equally demanding work in the entertainment industry.

Later, something went wrong in one of the company’s internal departments, prompting Si Yue to go abroad to deal with the problem in person. He was so busy during this period that he worked overtime late into the night through the Chinese New Year. After the Spring Festival, his workload finally calmed down, so he could finish everything well and came to see Fu Yunruo and Wenwen in person.

Si Yue coaxed Wenwen in a soft voice: “Yes, yes, Wenwen isn’t fat. It’s my wrong. Our Wenwen is a very generous little adult, so please forgive Uncle Yue, okay?”

When Wenwen heard Si Yue apologize, he let go of his grudge and generously gave his forgiveness, “It’s okay. I forgive you.”

“Well, as an apology, can I help Wenwen unpack your stuff?”

Wenwen’s eyes immediately lit up, and he gave a strong nod, “Okay, okay!” Free labor was always welcomed in their house!

Wenwen immediately pulled Si Yue towards a pile of boxes and bags, “Uncle Yue, these are mine!”

“…” Fu Yunruo was speechless by her son’s ignorance. How could he let a guest do the chore? She must lecture him later when everyone was gone.

Wenwen put on a haughty pose as he ordered Si Yue to carry his stuff.

Because he was doing menial labor, Si Yue first took off his trench coat and the blazer underneath, revealing a slim waistcoat and slender trousers.

Fu Yunruo couldn’t help but take a few more glances in appreciation. She had to admit, Si Yue was indeed a very attractive man, and sometimes she also wondered what kind of perfect woman would be suitable to stand by his side.

Fu Yunruo and Wenwen’s rooms were both on the second floor, Uncle Guo’s room was on the first floor, and Qian Shengnan’s room was also on the first floor.

The villa was a two-and-half story, with three rooms on the first floor and three rooms on the second floor. Because of the large number of people in the family, Fu Yunruo modified the piano room and gym on the first floor into bedrooms, leaving only the study on the second floor with its original purpose. On top of that, there was also a playground area for Wenwen to play.

Wenwen ran upstairs with a small bag in tow. He stopped in front of a room, pushed open its door, and was instantly met with a beautiful bedroom decorated in a sky blue theme.

There was a white wardrobe inside, along with a set of matching study desk and chairs in the same color, neatly decorated with several photo frames full of Wenwen’s childhood photos. A large white bed stood against the wall, covered with a sky blue quilt with white clouds motif. On the bedside table was a photo frame with Wenwen and Fu Yunruo’s photos inside.

Sky blue curtains hang against the bright windows. Open the curtains and look out, and you can see the beautiful scenery in the yard…

This was a child’s room, but it was not childish at all. Wenwen was pleasantly surprised. His eyes lit up, and he immediately fell in love with his new bedroom.

Wenwen turned around and ran out again. It just happened that Fu Yunruo also came upstairs with a suitcase in hand. Wenwen ran over and dragged her into the room, “Mom, Mom, is this the room you prepared for me?!”

Fu Yunruo smiled, “Yes, do you like it?”

“I like it!” In order to prove how much he liked his new room, Wenwen nodded heavily. “Mom, I love you!”

“Mom loves you too!”

Seeing Wenwen’s joyful smile, Fu Yunruo was also very happy. More than anything, she was satisfied that her hard work until a while ago was worth it.

When Fu Yunruo turned around, she saw Si Yue standing in front of the desk with a photo frame in his hand. Noticing the gaze, Si Yue put Wenwen’s baby photo back and gave the mother and son a smile, “Wenwen was very cute when he was young.”

“Of course!” Wenwen replied proudly. From the moment he was born, he was already the village’s cutest baby!

And from now on, he would be Beijing’s cutest baby!

Hearing her son being praised, Fu Yunruo was in a very good mood.

Seeing that Fu Yunruo was going to carry the luggage again, Si Yue said, “Leave this to me. Wenwen’s room needs to be set up, right? You can stay here and do the unpacking. We will be done faster if we divide our tasks.” He pointed to the two duffel bags he had carried upstairs.

Fu Yunruo thought about it for a moment and agreed with Si Yue’s suggestion, so she left the luggage with him as she stayed behind to organize Wenwen’s room.

Wenwen had a lot of clothes. Most of the clothes he had outgrown were given to other children in the village, leaving only a few pieces with special memories — such as the baby items handknitted by Auntie Mei. Yet, a lot was remaining. The clothes that Wenwen still wore now were a ton, with his winter clothes alone taking up three boxes.

Fu Yunruo unpacked the clothes and began organizing them in the wardrobe. Fortunately, the wardrobe was very spacious, as she specially chose a large one when purchasing the furniture. The clothes that needed to be folded were folded, and those that needed to be hung up were hung up. The process took a long time, during which Si Yue had gone back and forth several times, moving all stuff from the first floor to the second floor.

Finished with Wenwen’s clothes, Fu Yunruo unpacked the rest of his stuff and put some toys and picture books on the bookshelf.

In no time, the originally empty house was full of liveliness again.

When Fu Yunruo walked out of Wenwen’s room, the corridor was already full of various boxes and luggage, so much so that she found it hard to walk around.

“I don’t know where you want to put these things, so I brought them upstairs for the time being.” Si Yue said. Everything was carefully wrapped up, and he couldn’t tell what was what.

At this time, Qian Shengnan and Tiantian had finished with the first floor, so they came upstairs to help.

“Move these and these into my room.” Fu Yunruo said, pointing at several pieces of luggage. She was the one who packed them up, so she had a general impression of what was inside.

Fu Yunruo then carried one of the luggage into the master bedroom.

Without saying a word, Qian Shengnan immediately followed and moved the rest into Fu Yunruo’s room.

Si Yue felt awkward entering Fu Yunruo’s room, so he didn’t help them. Instead, he pointed to a duffel bag at his feet and asked, “Where is this going?”

Wenwen took a casual look. He remembered all the bags that contained his stuff, and this one should be…

Wenwen’s eyes rolled unnaturally, “These are just useless knick-knacks. Uncle Yue, please put them in the warehouse.”

There was a warehouse in the backyard, used to store miscellaneous items.

Si Yue saw Wenwen’s reaction and noticed there was something tricky in it. His curiosity suddenly rose, so he picked the bag up and secretly opened its zipper. The next moment, a thick photo album fell on the floor.

“Something fell out.” Si Yue put down the bag and picked up the album.

When Wenwen saw that Si Yue seemed to want to open the album and take a look, he immediately became anxious, “Don’t look!”

Seeing Wenwen’s nervousness, Si Yue became even more curious, so he opened it…

Wenwen stood in front of Si Yue, jumping and shouting vigorously, “Give it back! Don’t you dare to look!”

Wenwen jumped for a long time, but even his highest jump was only at the height of Si Yue’s waist. His short arms were far from reaching the album in Si Yue’s hands.

Desperate, Wenwen grabbed Si Yue’s pants and began to climb up.

Fortunately, Si Yue’s trousers were of good quality, and he also wore a belt today. Therefore, he didn’t have to worry about having his trousers pulled down.

Si Yue seemed to be fascinated by the contents of the album, and it took him a long time to finally move his gaze and look at Wenwen, who was climbing up his leg like a little monkey.

Si Yue sighed: “It’s nice to have a daughter.” Such a soft and cute little baby, wearing a pink and frilly skirt like a little princess… how nice!

Wenwen: “…”
