The next day, Chen Yan indeed transferred the money to Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan looked at the five million that had appeared in her account and let out a sigh of relief. She glanced at her phone, thinking that this should mark the end of her relationship with Chen Yan once and for all.
However, what Liu Yuan did not expect was that Chen Yan had not given up. He continued to come to see her every day, wanting to meet their child. Liu Yuan was increasingly annoyed by his persistence and finally exploded.
She glared at Chen Yan and shouted, "Chen Yan, what do you want?"
Chen Yan looked back at her calmly. "I just want to spend some time with the child."
Liu Yuan replied coldly, "I told you, the child is mine and has nothing to do with you."
Chen Yan's gaze intensified. "What if the child is mine?"
Liu Yuan frowned. "What are you trying to say?"
Chen Yan met her eyes. "You should know whether the child is mine or not."
Liu Yuan's voice dropped. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Chen Yan stared at her intently. "Liu Yuan, you’re afraid to admit it because you're scared."
Liu Yuan's pupils constricted. "You..."
Chen Yan continued, "You're afraid the child is mine, which is why you won't let me have a paternity test."
Liu Yuan shot back, "Even if the child is yours, so what? I am the child's mother; what right do you have to take my child from me?"
Chen Yan replied firmly, "I am also the child's father."
Liu Yuan scoffed. "Do you even deserve that title?"
Chen Yan narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean by that?"
Liu Yuan held his gaze. "Do you dare say that you truly care about the child? If you really cared, you wouldn't have ignored them all these years."
Chen Yan responded solemnly, "That was because I didn't know about the child's existence."
Liu Yuan laughed coldly. "You didn’t know about the child? Haven't you got a brain? Can't you do the math yourself?"
Chen Yan pressed on, "What do you mean by that?"
Liu Yuan retorted fiercely, "Let me tell you, you've never wanted to be a father; you don't love this child at all."
Chen Yan shot back, "You're talking nonsense."
Liu Yuan smirked. "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, deep down, you know the truth."
Chen Yan stared at her, remaining silent for a moment before saying, "Liu Yuan, let's each take a step back."
Liu Yuan frowned, "What do you mean?"
Chen Yan looked at her, "The child can stay with me, but you must ensure that every weekend, the child goes to you."
Liu Yuan replied firmly, "Why should I agree to that?"
Chen Yan met her gaze, "This way, the child can be with me and also with you. Isn't that good?"
Liu Yuan hesitated as she looked at him.
It had to be said that Chen Yan's proposal stirred something in her. If the child could be with Chen Yan, then they would be able to see both their father and mother in the future. This was a good thing for the child.
After some thought, Liu Yuan looked at Chen Yan and said, "Fine, I agree."
Chen Yan nodded, "Then it's settled."
Liu Yuan led Chen Yan back to their home.
Beibei was playing with toys in the living room and immediately became alert upon seeing Chen Yan.
She looked at him and said, "Why are you here again?"
Chen Yan smiled at her, "Beibei, I'm your dad."
Beibei frowned, "Go away! I don't want you to be my dad."
Chen Yan continued to look at her, "Beibei, be good."
Beibei huffed and ignored him, turning to run away.
Seeing this, Chen Yan started to chase after her.
Liu Yuan blocked his path and asked, "What are you doing?"
Chen Yan replied, "I'm trying to bond with the child."
Liu Yuan frowned, "Why are you in such a hurry? Take your time."
Chen Yan looked at her earnestly, "I want to live with the child."
Liu Yuan's voice lowered as she said, "You live here? Where will I live?"
Chen Yan responded calmly, "You can stay next door."
Liu Yuan frowned again, "You..."
Chen Yan reassured her, "Don't worry; I won't do anything to the child."
Liu Yuan stared at him, hesitating for a moment before saying, "Alright, I agree to your request."
Chen Yan nodded, "Thank you."
That evening, Liu Yuan prepared dinner and called Beibei to eat.
Beibei came out of her room and immediately frowned upon seeing Chen Yan sitting at the dining table.
She looked at Liu Yuan and asked, "Mom, why is he here?"
Liu Yuan replied, "He is your father."
Beibei furrowed her brows, "I don't want him to be my father."
Liu Yuan looked at her firmly, "Beibei, don’t throw a tantrum."
Beibei huffed and ignored her, turning around to run back to her room, slamming the door behind her.
Seeing this, Liu Yuan sighed.
Chen Yan looked at her and said, "I'll go talk to the child."
Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Okay."
Chen Yan approached Beibei's bedroom door and knocked.
Beibei shouted from inside, "Go away! I don't want to see you!"
Chen Yan replied in a deep voice, "Beibei, I'm your father. You can't treat me like this."
Beibei yelled back, "You're not my father! I don't have a father!"
Chen Yan frowned, "Beibei, if you keep this up, I'm going to get angry."
Beibei huffed again and ignored him.
Seeing this, Chen Yan opened the door and walked in.
Beibei was startled when she saw him enter and quickly picked up her stuffed toy, saying, "Get out!"
Chen Yan looked at her sternly, "Beibei, you are being very disrespectful."
Beibei shot back, "Leave! I don't want to see you!"
Chen Yan insisted, "Beibei, I'm your father. You need to respect me."
Beibei huffed once more and ran towards the bed.
Chen Yan chased after her and grabbed her arm, saying, "Beibei..."
Suddenly, Beibei looked at him and burst into tears.
Chen Yan was taken aback.
He looked at her, at a loss for words. "You... what's wrong? Please don't cry."
Beibei ignored him, continuing to cry loudly.
Chen Yan panicked. "Beibei, please stop crying. It's Daddy's fault; I shouldn't have yelled at you."
Beibei still wouldn't listen, crying even louder.
Chen Yan was flustered, completely unsure of what to do.
Outside, Liu Yuan heard Beibei's cries and was startled. She hurried over.
She burst into the room and saw Chen Yan squatting in front of Beibei, helplessly trying to comfort her.
Frowning, she asked, "What happened?"
Seeing her was like a lifeline for Chen Yan. "Please help me calm her down; I can't do it."
Liu Yuan walked over, picked up Beibei, and gently patted her back. "It's okay, Beibei. Don't cry; Mommy's here."
Beibei buried her face in Liu Yuan's arms, crying out, "Mommy, make him go away, make him go away..."
Liu Yuan continued to soothe her. "Alright, alright, Mommy will make him go."
Chen Yan stood to the side, watching Liu Yuan and Beibei with a heavy heart.
After a long time of comforting, Liu Yuan finally managed to calm Beibei down.
Beibei fell asleep in her arms.
Liu Yuan held Beibei gently and laid her on the bed, covering her with a blanket.
She looked at Beibei with tenderness in her eyes.
Chen Yan stood nearby, watching her with mixed emotions.
Liu Yuan rose and looked at Chen Yan. "Did you see that?"
"What did I see?" Chen Yan replied.
In a serious tone, Liu Yuan said, "The child is very resistant to you."
Chen Yan frowned. "I will build a good relationship with her."
Liu Yuan met his gaze. "What if she never likes you?"
"I will work hard to make her like me," Chen Yan insisted.
Liu Yuan stared at him. "What if you can't achieve that?"
Chen Yan looked at her intently. "What are you trying to say?"
In a low voice, Liu Yuan said, "Just give up."
Chen Yan narrowed his eyes. "What did you say?"
Liu Yuan looked at him. "Give up on the child. The child doesn't need a father like you."
Chen Yan stared at her. "Say that again."
Liu Yuan met his gaze. "You heard what I said."
Chen Yan spoke coldly, "Liu Yuan, say it again."
Liu Yuan fixed her eyes on him. "I said, give up on the child."
Chen Yan's anger flared as he glared at Liu Yuan. "You wish!"
Liu Yuan replied in a low voice, "Chen Yan, what gives you the right to fight me for the child?"
Chen Yan locked eyes with her. "Just because I am the child's father."
Liu Yuan scoffed. "So what if you're the father? Can you give the child happiness?"
Chen Yan responded coldly, "I can."
Liu Yuan laughed mockingly. "You can? You don't even know what the child likes; how can you give them happiness?"
Chen Yan insisted, "I know; I can learn."
Liu Yuan sneered, "By the time you learn, the child will have grown up."
Chen Yan replied firmly, "I can start learning right now."
Liu Yuan looked at him. "Do you think it's enough time to learn now?"
Chen Yan met her gaze. "As long as I want to, it’s enough time."
Liu Yuan stared at him for a long moment before scoffing again. "I'll be waiting to see your performance."
Eventually, Liu Yuan and Chen Yan reached a compromise regarding raising the child. The child would still live with Liu Yuan but would attend school with Chen Yan. On weekends, the child would go back to Liu Yuan's place.
Liu Yuan was quite satisfied with this arrangement. Although the child would be separated from Chen Yan, they would still get to see both parents every week, which was a good thing for the child.
Chen Yan began trying to get close to Beibei. However, Beibei was wary of him and wouldn’t allow him near.
Beibei was smart; she knew she couldn't overpower Chen Yan, so she never confronted him directly. Whenever Chen Yan approached her, she would simply hide away.
Chen Yan searched the entire room but couldn’t find her. Finally, he discovered Beibei hiding in the wardrobe.
He opened the wardrobe and looked at Beibei inside, saying, “Beibei, what are you doing hiding in here?”
Beibei hugged her stuffed toy tightly and stared at him without saying a word.
Chen Yan continued, “Beibei, come out.”
She looked at him and shook her head.
Chen Yan frowned, “Beibei, don’t throw a tantrum.”
Beibei remained still, still looking at him.
Seeing this, Chen Yan sighed and reached out to pull her out.
As he tugged at her, Beibei stumbled and fell out of the wardrobe.
Chen Yan was startled and quickly reached to catch her. However, with a thud, he bumped his head instead.
Liu Yuan, standing nearby, couldn’t help but laugh at the scene.
Chen Yan turned to glare at her with fierce eyes.
Liu Yuan stifled her laughter and walked over to pick up Beibei, saying, “Chen Yan, are you okay?”
Chen Yan remained silent with a dark expression on his face.
Beibei nestled in Liu Yuan’s arms, looking at Chen Yan with bright eyes.
Chen Yan felt a surge of frustration as he looked at Beibei. This was the most embarrassed he had ever been in his life, and now he was being laughed at.
He glared at Beibei, feeling quite displeased.
In response, Beibei made a funny face at him.
Chen Yan gritted his teeth in anger.
Beibei then ran to the other side of the living room, clutching her stuffed toy tightly and watching Chen Yan with a wary expression.
