Father is a villainous Buddhist disciple? He'll just be beaten into the light of the righteous

Shen Jiyuan did not ask any further questions, but instead directed Shen Ji to go upstairs to change his clothes.

Before going to bed last night, he asked Uncle Zhong to buy a few sets of children's clothes. He couldn't really let the kid run around naked at home wearing his clothes.

But the clothes I bought were just so-so; I only wore them temporarily.

Although he didn't have much affection for Shen Ji, since he was his son, he naturally wouldn't neglect him by leaving him without food or clothing. In addition, he had promised to take someone out to buy a cell phone last night, so he thought he might as well just take someone out and buy the phone.

Shen Ji had long since stopped wanting to wear his clothes, and happily ran upstairs.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Jiyuan called Zhao Tong and relayed his questions to him.

Zhao Tong's voice was somewhat low, indicating that he understood.

Shen Jiyuan wanted to ask more questions, but criminal cases like this are usually kept secret until the facts are clear, and it wasn't something he could pry into. In the end, he kept quiet.

"Dad!" Shen Ji ran downstairs after changing his clothes.

The clear, crisp child's voice, like the barking of a puppy, sweetly and softly entered Shen Jiyuan's ears, making his ears tingle and tremble.

He glanced back instinctively and saw Shen Ji, carrying a small schoolbag, running up to him and hugging his leg, asking, "Daddy, are we going out?"

Shen Jiyuan's deep eyes trembled slightly. He abruptly looked away and gave a soft "hmm."

Shen Ji chuckled and said happily, "Let's go then!"

Shen Jiyuan picked him up and placed him on the sofa. "Wait here!"

After saying that, she went upstairs to change her clothes without waiting for the other party to refuse.

When he came down again, he was wearing a baseball cap, and the suit that the eccentric and domineering CEO had always worn was now replaced with a dark gray tracksuit that matched the baseball cap. He was also wearing a black face mask.

This was completely different from his usual demeanor, but he looked several years younger than when he was dressed in an elite style. Shen Ji smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "Dad, you're so handsome!"

Shen Jiyuan said with a forced smile, "Really? Then I'll have someone shave your head later, you'll look much more handsome that way."

Shen Ji snorted and said, "I'm not a simp, I don't need to."

Shen Jiyuan, his face dark, lifted him off the sofa, scoffed, and said, "What are you so smug about? You're just not old enough yet. When you reach my age, who knows how much you'll fawn over me."

Shen Ji raised his eyes, his clear eyes like the sky after the rain. "A true man should stand tall and serve his country. Even if he has deep sorrows in his heart, he should not waste his prime years and guard the lights of thousands of homes."

"You're such a spineless coward, all you ever think about is romance!"

"When it comes to fate, it's all about mutual appreciation. If it's meant to be, things will fall into place naturally. If it's not meant to be, you can't force it."

"I would never be a male mistress, that's utterly tasteless!"

Shen Jiyuan: "..."

His deep gaze slowly fell on Shen Ji's face. His words were so powerful and resounding, yet they came from the mouth of a three-year-old child.

A fleeting look of bewilderment crossed Shen Jiyuan's eyes.

A child can say such things, and what is he... doing?

Having control of the vast Shen family and the pinnacle of wealth, yet focusing all his attention on a relationship that will ultimately come to nothing... Is this really the right thing to do?

After living for twenty-seven years, Shen Jiyuan began to doubt himself for the first time.

He lowered his eyes, looked at the little boy in front of him, pursed his lips, and asked, "Who taught you these words...?"

Shen Ji didn't say that this was of course his own principle of conduct, but could only say, "My mother taught me this. She taught me so many things since I was little. Does Dad want to hear them?"

Shen Jiyuan neither said he wanted to listen nor refused, but simply murmured, "Is that so?"

He searched his memory for Su Qian, but so much time had passed that he couldn't recall what she looked like.

Four years ago, he was drugged. He and Su Qian... didn't turn on the lights. He only caught a glimpse of the person on the bed the next morning when he left.

So many years have passed, he has long forgotten it.

Su Qian... seems to be different from what she imagined.

She must be a very good woman to have raised Shen Ji so well.

Shen Jiyuan felt a pang of guilt as he thought about how, over the years, she had been pregnant out of wedlock and raised Shen Ji alone, enduring countless hardships and sufferings.

He... truly wronged Su Qian.

Shen Ji is the only bloodline she left in this world, which can be considered another continuation of her life.

Even if he dislikes the child, he cannot ignore him.

Shen Jiyuan took a deep breath, lifted Shen Ji off the sofa, gestured awkwardly with his hands, and hugged Shen Ji's buttocks and waist, saying, "Let's go, I'll take you shopping."

Shen Ji shifted his body, and Shen Jiyuan quickly said in a deep voice, "Don't move! You'll fall again."

Shen Ji: "..."

The big bump on his head was indeed from that old guy's fall yesterday!

Seeing his suspicious look, Shen Jiyuan simply tucked him under his arm and carried him out, saying, "I might as well buy you a pet carrier; I can carry you around then."

Shen Ji: "..."

After leaving the house, the two went straight to the mall.

After parking the car, Shen Jiyuan told Shen Ji to walk by himself, but Xiao Biga was Xiao Biga. Even when he ran, he couldn't keep up with Shen Jiyuan's walking speed. In the end, Shen Jiyuan could only grit his teeth and lift him up and tuck him under his arm.

Shen Ji: "..."

He kicked his legs in protest, "Can't you just hold me?"

Shen Jiyuan said coldly, "No, that's not convenient."

Shen Ji said coldly, "You don't know how to hold a child, do you? This big bump on my head is from when you fell, isn't it?"

Shen Jiyuan ignored him.

Shen Ji kicked her legs and threw a tantrum, "Can't you just go buy a stroller?!"

Shen Jiyuan paused, remained silent for a moment, then turned to the side. "That makes sense."

The two went directly to the third floor of the mall, which was mostly filled with stores selling baby and toddler products.

Without thinking twice, Shen Jiyuan went straight to a maternity and baby store.

The sales assistant greeted the two men warmly as they entered, saying, "Please come in, sirs."

She glanced at Shen Jiyuan. Although he was wearing a mask, as a sales assistant, she knew all the customers. He looked very wealthy, but he was a stranger to her. She had never seen him before, so he probably wasn't a regular customer of the store.

She smiled and said, "Sir, you look unfamiliar. You probably haven't been to our store before. What would you like to buy?"

Shen Jiyuan frowned. "Do you have a stroller for a three-year-old?"

"Yes, yes." The sales assistant smiled and gestured for us to come in. "It's this way, please follow me."

Her gaze involuntarily fell on the small radish that Shen Jiyuan was holding.

Even with his butt sticking out and being tucked under her arm, Shen Ji didn't forget to be polite. He raised his hand and greeted the young lady, "Oh, are you single, sister?"

Sales assistant: "..."

Shen Ji enthusiastically introduced, "My dad is single too, but he's a total simp, so embarrassing."

Shen Jiyuan: "..."
