Secretary Chen has a Headache Again Today!!! - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 – “Who is the Father?”

“How could Uncle Zhong lock you in the room?”

The two of them sat on the sycamore tree and chatted casually.

Chen Xun pulled up the corner of his mouth and lied, “I told him that the senior and I are not suitable for each other. I don’t want to go on a blind date.”

Lian Xufeng looked at Chen Xun in surprise.

Chen Xun raised his lips gently, smiling softly, “Are you surprised?”

“Hmm.” Lian Xufeng raised his head, “I’m not really surprised.”

“He doesn’t deserve you.”

Chen Xun shook his head, holding the tree trunk with one hand, and looking at the lush greenery in and outside the yard.

“The senior is very good, but I am not worthy of him.”

“What are you talking about?!” Lian Xufeng said without hesitation, “Don’t be too self-deprecating. I watched you grow up. A fellow like Bai Xiu Ze is not even as good as you.”

“Pfft.” Chen Xun chuckled, “You sound like you’re an old man.”

He swung his legs and looked out with a relaxed expression.

“Older than you.” Lian Xufeng laughed.

His eyes were almost glued to Chen Xun.

Since the split, they have rarely been this close.

Since then, Chen Xun stopped revealing all his emotions and thoughts to him.

Although they still lived their lives as usual and Chen Xun was still by his side, Lian Xufeng knew that Chen Xun, who used to tell him everything, began to have his own “secrets”.

They are obviously best friends.

But the smile Chen Xun showed when facing others, even when facing Bai Xiu Ze, was more cheerful than when facing him.

“What are you looking at?” Chen Xun felt Lian Xufeng’s gaze and looked back in confusion.

Lian Xufeng shook his head nervously.

He didn’t know why, but at this moment, his heart was pounding.

As the sun set, Chen Xun felt a little sleepy. He leaned his head against the tree trunk, but was pulled over by Lian Xufeng.

“Lean on me.”

Chen Xun’s cheeks turned red, but Lian Xufeng’s warm palm covered his shoulder, and he forgot what to do for a moment.

They just watched the sunset quietly.

The leaves of the sycamore tree fell on their shoulders, and no one noticed.

“Ahem!”

A sudden cough broke into the quiet space.

Chen Xun looked up suddenly and met his adoptive father’s dark eyes.

“Dad.”

“Uncle Zhong.” Lian Xufeng jumped down the sycamore tree first, turned around and stretched out his arms to Chen Xun, “Jump, don’t be afraid.”

Chen Xun looked at his adoptive father in embarrassment.

Uncle Zhong lowered his head and coughed helplessly twice, “Get down first.”

“Come down.” Lian Xufeng winked at Chen Xun and mouthed, “It’s okay. I’m here.”

Chen Xun leaped forward and fell into Lian Xufeng’s arms.

Lian Xufeng caught him steadily, put his arms around Chen Xun’s waist, and whispered in his ear: “Hey, you have quite a bit of meat on your waist.”

Chen Xun subconsciously pushed Lian Xufeng hard, and quickly walked to Zhong Bo’s side, using his father to shield himself.

Although the baby was only a few months old and Chen Xun was not showing any signs of pregnancy, he was still afraid.

Afraid that Lian Xufeng would see it.

“Eh.” Lian Xufeng thought that he was the one who called Chen Xun fat, which made Chen Xun unhappy, and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Uncle Zhong couldn’t bear to see them going back and forth like this, so he bowed to Lian Xufeng and said, “Master, I will take Chen Xun back first.”

“Wait.” Lian Xufeng stopped Uncle Zhong, “Uncle Zhong, you are not going to lock Chen Xun up again, are you?”

Zhong Bo raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Xun who was standing beside him.

Chen Xun pursed his lips, rolled his eyes, and explained quietly: “I didn’t say it, he found it.”

“Master, Chen Xun is my child.” Uncle Zhong’s tone was cold. He called him Master, but when he moved his feet, he blocked Chen Xun firmly. “How I educate him is my business.”

Lian Xufeng crossed his arms across his chest, looking dissatisfied.

Zhong Bo is an old servant in the family. He has worked diligently and meticulously for many years. He is a person that Lian Xufeng respects.

But he could not agree with Zhongbo’s treatment of Chen Xun.

“Yes, this is a matter between you and your father.” Lian Xufeng snorted twice, then smiled cunningly, “But the law stipulates that you cannot restrict the freedom of others. Uncle Zhong, your family rules cannot override the law.”

“Master…”

“Dad.” Chen Xun pulled the corner of Zhong Bo’s clothes.

Both of them knew Lian Xufeng’s personality very well. If they didn’t do as he asked, this man might really do something outrageous like calling the police to save Chen Xun.

“Alright.” After a long while, Uncle Zhong gave in. “I will only take him back and not lock the door. It is his freedom to leave or stay.”

“That’s right.” Lian Xufeng smiled and followed the two of them. He walked beside Chen Xun and said to Zhong Bo on the other side of Chen Xun, “We are all family, so stop torturing each other.”

Chen Xun caught a glimpse of his father’s suppressed urge to roll his eyes, and exchanged glances with Lian Xufeng with a sly smile.

After sending the two back, Lian Xufeng was still worried and paced in the yard for most of the day. When Zhong Bo finally couldn’t stand it anymore, he took a big broom and swept the fallen leaves everywhere, scaring Zhong Bo so much that he jumped several times. Only then did he run back to his room helplessly.

Chen Xun was sitting in the hall in the yard making tea. When he saw Lian Xufeng leave, he put away the cup of tea prepared for him.

“What are you going to do?”

Zhong Bo walked into the room, sat in front of the tea table, and looked at Chen Xun with a stern face.

Chen Xun’s hand paused as he was making tea, as if it had been scalded, and he quickly put down the teacup.

“I…” He hesitated for a moment, meeting the concern in his father’s cold eyes, “I want to keep it.”

Although this child was not the fruit of love, it was an unexpected surprise for him.

He wanted this child more than his own life.

A long sigh sounded in the silent tea room.

Zhong Bo stared at his adopted son in front of him and recalled the time when Chen Xun first arrived at the Lian family.

He didn’t like this child very much.

He was too thin, quiet and didn’t like to talk. How could he serve a lively and active young master?

But the young master particularly liked Chen Xun.

Chen Xun grew up like this, and under his care, he successfully grew into an excellent Omega.

“Who is the father?”

Chen Xun choked. He especially couldn’t say this.

“How dare you get pregnant? Don’t you even dare to tell me who that person is?!”

There was a hint of anger in Zhong Bo’s voice, not towards Chen Xun, but towards the culprit who was hidden by Chen Xun.

He raised Chen Xun. Didn’t he know what kind of person Chen Xun is?

How could he do such a ridiculous thing without anyone instigating him!

“I don’t know who he is either.” Chen Xun gritted his teeth and could only speak a mixture of truth and lies, “We had a great time drinking that day, and when I woke up, he was gone…”

“Then you still want to give birth to this child?!” Zhong Bo was extremely angry. He stood up and made a direct decision for Chen Xun, “Abort it. You can’t keep this child!”

“No! No, Dad!” Chen Xun knelt up and grabbed his adoptive father’s arm. “I will never love anyone else in my life. This child, now that this child is here, he is my child!”

Zhong Bo grabbed Chen Xun’s wrist and asked sternly, “Even if I asked you to leave the young master, would you be willing to do so?!”

Chen Xun was trembling all over.

He knelt on the ground, his shirt soaked with sweat.

In order to give birth to this child in secret, he must leave Wei Ming and Lian Xufeng.

Even though he hadn’t found a way to ensure that he and his child could survive safely, Chen Xun still wanted to give it a try.

This was probably the most careful decision he had ever made in his life.

“I am.”
