Chapter 5

‘Teacher, next time don’t make me pretend I’m sick,’ Zhen Wu said .

‘If you’re not sick then how can you come here and game online with me?’ teacher asked .

‘But if I act like a weakling too often Xiao Jiang will call me a sissy,’ Zhen Wu said .

‘What other way is there?’ teacher asked .

‘Next time teacher can pretend you’re sick and I can visit you,’ Zhen Wu said . ‘I can play with you and people will praised me for visiting the sick . ’

‘OK… I lost another thousand to you,’ teacher said .

Teacher couldn’t believe he was losing to a little boy .

‘I don’t want to play anymore,’ Zhen Wu said . ‘Teacher you keep losing . ’

‘Hey little boy, didn’t your mum teach you to give weaker competitors another chance to beat you,’ teacher said . ‘Don’t tell me you never lost before . ’

‘Since I was born I’ve only lost to one person,’ Zhen Wei said . ‘I lost to my mum . Mum said one day I’ll beat her at everything . I have confidence I’ll beat mum too . ’

‘Look at your little tail,’ teacher said . ‘It’s grown up to the sky . ’

Teacher rubbed Zhen Wu’s head . He was curious about Zhen Wu’s mum . Zhen Wu told him his mother was gullible and only understood about science . But he could see in Zhen Wu’s eyes that Zhen Wu loved Zhen Wu’s mum .

Yue Gu Zui returned home and he wasn’t pleased teacher was at home playing online games with a little boy .

Yue Gu Zui sat on the sofa . ‘Teacher if you have time to play with a little boy . Then why don’t you explain to me how news about Da Tu Li was leaked?’

Zhen Wu turned around and he looked at Yue Gu Zui .

‘Teacher, why does uncle’s face look identical to mine?’ Zhen Wu asked .

Zhen Wu ran to Yue Gu Zui . Yue Gu Zui felt he was staring at a mirror of his younger self .

‘Uncle I admit you’re handsome… I’m only a little more handsome,’ Zhen Wu said . ‘My mum said my dad is an Englishman . Why don’t we take a DNA test? Perhaps you do have an adorable son . ’

‘Who is your mum?’ Yue Gu Zui asked .

‘Zhen Zhen,’ Zhen Wu said .

Cheng Yi was standing in the living room and thought it was too coincidental the little boy’s mother had the same name as the young woman in boss’ car .

‘Teacher give me the little boy’s report and I’ll let go of the Da Tu Li incident,’ Yue Gu Zui said .

‘What report?’ teacher asked innocently .

‘Don’t tell me you didn’t investigate the little boy,’ Yue Gu Zui said . ‘I don’t want to waste time investigating something you have in your possession . ’

Yue Gu Zui carried his son toward the car .

‘Will it kill you to ask me nicely?’ teacher asked . ‘You’re not adorable at all . Remember to come home for dinner . ’

Yue Gu Zui didn’t answer but teacher knew Yue Gu Zui heard .

‘Cesar ask the chefs to cook all of young master’s favorite dishes like steamed fish,’ teacher said .

‘Yes teacher,’ Cesar said .

Cesar hadn’t seen teacher that happy in a long time .

Outside the mansion Zhen Wu was happy to be carried by his dad .

‘Uncle where are you taking me?’ Zhen Wu asked .

Yue Gu Zui put his son in the car . ‘Call me dad . ’

‘Dad how old are you?’ Zhen Wu asked .

‘Twenty-eight,’ Yue Gu Zui said .

‘Dad you had me when you were twenty-four,’ Zhen Wu said . ‘Dad what do you do?’

‘I sell weapons,’ Yue Gu Zui said .

‘Wow, Dad is a triad boss!’ Zhen Wu said . He was happy his dad was stronger than Xiao Jiang’s dad . ‘Dad will you teach me how to use a gun?’

‘Um, after you turn eighteen,’ Yue Gu Zui said .

‘Dad will you take me to Macdonald after school?’ Zhen Wu asked .

‘Um,’ Yue Gu Zui said .

Zhen Wu hugged his dad . ‘Dad do you know how to hit mum’s bottom?’

‘That will need negotiation,’ Yue Gu Zui said .

Zhen Wu was happy to nap on his dad’s shoulder . He thought it was good to have a dad .
