Chapter 1: The Arrival

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The blazing sun shone from above.

It was Mrs. Li’s 45th birthday celebration and almost every person of note was in attendance at.

Hundreds of media personnels from all over the world lined the 100-meter long red carpet in anticipation.

Finally…

A pure black Bentley made a U-turn and pulled up at the entrance.

“Chairman Li has arrived.” The driver quickly opened the car door and stood aside, waiting patiently for his passenger to disembark.

The first glimpse of the man was the polished leather shoe. As eyes roamed upward, a pair of slender but strong legs clad in dress pants were revealed. A gorgeous man with a model figure—broad chest and narrow waist—appeared.

The chiseled face gave off an aristocratic aloofness. It was none other than the chairman of the Li Corporation, Li Shengxiao.

The eligible bachelorettes on scene felt their hearts race.

Li Shengxiao was the embodiment of many things. Every woman wanted a piece of him…

The security detail gathered around the aristocratic man as he took long strides toward the hotel.

As soon as he stepped into the hotel, the Li family housekeeper appeared. He leaned in and whispered to Li Shengxiao, “Chairman Li, your mother is asking for you. There’s something important she wishes to discuss upstairs.”

A frown appeared on Li Shengxiao’s forehead. He loosened his tie and shirt collar. The casual look did nothing to diminish his aristocratic aura. “I see. Lead the way.”

The housekeeper led him past the crowd. They came to the second floor.

A peal of laughter echoed from the second-floor presidential suite.

Li Shengxiao heard the voices inside—it was his mother and a young, unfamiliar voice. He paused for a few seconds before opening the door.

The matron of the Li family sat within the European-style presidential suite. She looked to be in her forties—her appearance was well-maintained. From her facial features, one could clearly see the resemblance between her and Li Shengxiao. Without a doubt, the woman was much friendlier than Li Shengxiao. A tiny figure beside her spun around at the sound of someone’s arrival.

“Daddy!” a clear voice called out suddenly.

The address shocked everyone into silence.

The young child was dressed in a checkered, pink suit that had a cartoon tiger embroidered onto the breast pocket. The child and the tiger wore matching expressions—the pouty, puffy face was incredibly adorable.

“Chairman Li, this…” The manager beside Li Shengxiao was perplexed.

What was happening?

When did Chairman Li have a pre-school child?

He was by Chairman Li’s side 24 hours a day—the chairman never had female companions. Where did this kid come from?

Although the news was unbelievable, he could see the resemblance between the child and Chairman Li.

Li Shengxiao watched the young child coming his way, the stubby legs making an effort to cross the distance. Li Shengxiao squinted his eyes and remained silent.

“Daddy.” The child stopped before the imposing man and raised his head. A pair of sparkling eyes that hinted at intelligence met Li Shengxiao’s. The child raised his pudgy left hand and said in a high-pitched voice, “Daddy, open.”

Open?

There was a pink ribbon tied around the child’s left wrist that went unnoticed prior to this. The ribbon dangled conspicuously from his wrist.

Goodness, who sent the child over as a ‘present’? This was too absurd!

Li Shengxiao stared at the child who was a splitting image of himself. His eyes narrowed and a cold aura surrounded him. “What’s going on?”

At that moment, Mrs. Li stood up and walked to the child’s side. She endearingly put an arm around the child and glared at her son. “Shouldn’t you be asking yourself that question? It’s your son here. Now, stow away that face. You’re frightening Duidui.”

“My son?”

“I’ve already done the paternity test, Duidui is yours. I don’t know what happened between you and the mother, and I don’t care. I’m claiming him as my grandson, just so you know. Since the media is here today, I’ll be announcing the new addition to the family. We finally have an heir!”

When the child first appeared, Mrs. Li did not believe the claim.

However, when she saw the child, her doubts were laid to rest.

The child was a splitting image of her son when he was young. He was unmistakably a descendent of the Li family.

She always hoped for a grandchild but her son was a thickheaded man. Since the incident five years ago, Li Shengxiao had stayed away from women. Mrs. Li thought she would never get the chance to hold a grandchild, yet here was a child sent by the heavens.

It was a gift from the gods and Mrs. Li did not plan to let the child go.

“Well, hurry up. Don’t let my baby wait.” Mrs. Li urged her son to untie the ribbon.

Others turned to watch the unexpected father’s expression. The situation was tense as they waited for the scene to play out.

While others had their hearts in their throats, the handsome man lifted his hand and ceremoniously released the knot on the child’s wrist.

The action signified the expansion of the Li family—the boy was officially brought into the family. Mrs. Li was elated, tears nearly wetting her eyes. “Good, good. Duidui, you have a father now.”

“And a grandma!” The young child’s high-pitched voice made every word sound sweet and angelic. His words melted hearts all around.

“Yes, and Grandma. You’re Grandma’s precious baby, my sweet child.” Mrs. Li’s eyes crinkled as she smiled, her tall and handsome son forgotten. She took the young child by his hand and headed for the door. “Come, Grandma will get you something delicious to eat.”

The child turned around and blinked at the gorgeous man. Then, the child agreed obediently, “Okay.”

The child followed the beautiful woman, a small hand joined the large hand.

Li Shengxiao watched as the pair disappeared from his sight. His thin lips were pressed into a straight line. He ordered the people around him, “Find out who that woman is. The one who appeared in Lion Hotel’s Room 808 five years ago.”

“Yes, Chairman Li.”

The most eligible bachelor in the whole wide world had a four-year-old son. The news spread like birds taking flight, reaching every corner of the Earth.
