Five o’clock in the afternoon, at the entrance of the kindergarten.
Nan Xing looked particularly dazzling in his white suit as he stood amongst a group of parents. His cheeky attitude and handsome face made him stand out from the crowd.
A few women who came to pick up their children had approached Nan Xing, asking about his child’s name. They tried to get close and add him on WeChat, but were all turned down by Nan Xing, “I never use a mobile phone, and I don’t know what WeChat is.”
The children were picked up by their parents one after another. Dabao and Erbao were the last to come out.
Dabao had always been calm and steady. He never tried to rush out first like the other kids did. Instead, he grabbed his sister’s hand, and waited till everyone else left before coming out.
“Dabao! Erbao!” Nan Xing ran up to them.
“Daddy Nan Xing!” Erbao called out in her cute voice.
Nan Xing frowned, Just call me daddy. Why add my name?
Don’t tell me, there are other daddies apart from me?
Nan Xing picked up Erbao, “Sweetheart, can you change my nickname to just daddy? You don’t have to call me daddy Nan Xing.”
“No.” Erbao said as she shook her little head.
“Why?” Nan Xing couldn’t understand.
“Because you’re still on a trial period. I will only call you daddy once you pass.” Erbao said seriously.
“Daddy has a trial period? But daddy’s not an employee, so how can I be on a trial period?” Nan Xing frowned as he asked.
Erbao didn’t say anything and just looked at Dabao.
Nan Xing understood immediately that it must have been his idea.
Only a brain like his would think of something like a trial period for their daddy.
Why would they put him on trial? Because they didn’t like him or were uncertain about him.
“Dabao, why am I on trial? What makes you dissatisfied with me?” Nan Xing asked sincerely.
Dabao kept quiet.
Actually, Nan Xing was quite nice. He was nice to him and his sister, but Dabao just felt that something was missing.
Dabao felt that although Nan Xing looks just as handsome as Nan Chen, there were a lot of things about Nan Chen which Nan Xing lacked.
What he lacked, was a little something.
“Alright, then how long am I on trial for?” Nan Xing asked.
Erbao couldn’t answer that either, and looked at Dabao again.
Dabao gave it some thought, and said, “Mommy.”
“What do you mean?” Nan Xing couldn’t understand why mommy was being involved in that.
Erbao explained, “Brother means only mommy can decide on this. If mommy accepts daddy, then your trial period will end.”
Nan Xing thought it made sense. If your mommy agrees, there’s nothing else can you say about it.
“Alright, that’s settled then. We’ll go pick up mommy from the set, and go have dinner once she’s done filming.”
The kids became excited when they heard they were going to mommy’s workplace.
Erbao’s phone suddenly rang, it was Cheng Xiangyun.
“Aunt Xiang!” Erbao called out sweetly.
“Good girl! Has your daddy picked you up?” Cheng Xiangyun asked.
“Yes! We’re gonna go see mommy now!”
“Ah, don’t come here! Mommy would be unhappy! She doesn’t like you coming to her workplace.” Cheng Xiangyun said hurriedly.
“Why?” Erbao didn’t understand.
“It’s hard to explain, put your daddy on the phone.” Cheng Xiangyun said.
Erbao passed the phone to Nan Xing.
