Chapter 187 Its A Promise.
Fu Yu Sheng didn't know what to do but he still did what his instincts told him, he stretched his arms and hugged Fu Chen who started to kick and make a fuss while brawling his eyes out but no matter how much of a fuss he made, Fu Yu Sheng kept hugging him. As soon as he picked up his seven-year-old son and hugged him, Fu Yu Sheng remembered the long-lost feeling that he has been missing, the only time he could hug his son was when he was born and the next time was when he got sick —— even then he couldn't hug Fu Chen for long because he came to the country while hiding his arrival from the Song family but someone from the servants told Song Lan about it and then she made a fuss to her father who in turn called him and threatened that if he didn't fly away in an hour, he would make sure to ruin the Fu corporations.
Back then he was still new to handling business and his grandfather recently resigned from the post of CEO, he couldn't have let his grandfather down but nor could he let his son down, so after very long deliberation, he agreed to have dinner with Song Lan for the sake of staying with his son all night.
He still knew how much trouble that small dinner brought to him, he was drugged, had to spend an hour in the hospital to pump it out of his system and the next day while he was leaving after spending the night with Fu Chen, Song Lan sent the sneaky shot she took to Song Yan causing another fight between them, he tried to explain his stance but Song Yan kept crying and crying without listening to a thing he has to say, frustrated he just left but not before hugging his sleepy son, promising that he will return soon but that return took another four years.
Now that he could finally hug his son without anyone breathing on his neck, Fu Yu Sheng felt really relieved, it was as if he has finally come home, the one that he has been waiting to return to. " I am sorry," he said causing Fu Chen's sobbing to pause all of a sudden. "I shouldn't have done that, I should have never left you alone… but daddy had a thing to do and I couldn't return sooner."
Though the words 'I am sorry' were said in the same cold and emotionless voice that Fu Yu Sheng used but Fu Chen felt as if his heart was going to burst. He bit his lip for a few seconds but later on, under the soothing pats of his father, he couldn't hold on any longer and ended up crying even more loudly.
" You are such a jerk!"
"Yes, Yes, I am."
" You are a bad father."
" I will learn to be a good one."
" You never came to drop me at school."
" I will drop you at school every day now."
Just like that the father and son kept going on and on without caring that they were in a restroom inside a supermarket.
The people who wanted to use the restroom: "..." should I go in or not? Never mind looks like an important bonding moment. I can hold it in for a little while.
" Are you okay?" asked Fu Yu Sheng once Fu Chen was done crying, he stood up and pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket before wetting it and wiping his son's face. He was afraid that if Song Yan saw tear streaks on Fu Chen's cheeks, she will start fighting with him again and that wasn't something that he wanted.
" I am fine," said Fu Chen thickly as he let his father wipe his tears, his reason was the same he didn't want to let his mother find out that he cried but the logic behind it was different, he didn't want his mother to know that he cried like a baby just because his dad apologised to him. It was such an embarrassing situation.
Uwaa!! Why did he cry like that? His father was supposed to apologise! So, why did he cry like that?
It took a little while for Fu Chen to calm down before he sniffed and said, " Don't think that I am going to just let the matter slide because you said sorry, it's just the beginning. I will only forgive you once you have earned it and you can start by dropping me at school."
Though Fu Chen hated to admit it but his father was among the most good-looking parents, if he dropped him to school then all those kids who made fun of him will be burnt to crisp out of jealousy! Only at times like these will his father's handsome —— no, an average-looking face can come in handy.
" All right," said Fu Yu Sheng as he agreed to his son's demands at once, " I will drop your school every morning, is that all right? Or is there anything else?"
" There is!" said Fu Chen with an exclaiming voice as he looked at his father and pointed at him. " Why did you not come back? I want to know!"
" I told you didn't I, it has something to do with the company," answered Fu Yu Sheng but before he could say anything more, his son puffed up his cheeks and said, " You are lying, I know that you are! You would have come home if it was just that —- why didn't you come home soon? Great grandfather said that you are incredible and you take care of everything very properly. He even called third uncle a bumbling idiot saying that he can never compare to you."
And apparently that pleased Fu Chen a lot more than anything could have.
Fu Yu Sheng raised his eyebrow and looked at his little son who was hopping up and down and knew that this little boy really had a petty streak—- just like his mom.
He sighed and looked at his son before solemnly saying, " Remember not to tell your mother all right?"
" I won't," promised Fu Chen and as soon as he made his promise, Fu Yu Sheng started to undo his shirt's buttons.
