Although Anan showed a very disdainful attitude, in his own words, since he had promised his father, he would do his best to fulfill it. Therefore, although Leonid did not seem to be making much progress in learning Chinese, at least their relationship was not as tense as it was when they first met.

Ren Zhouyuan saw the changes in Anan during this period of time. Although the guy said that Leonid was stupid, Ren Zhouyuan felt that Anan was just acting like a spoiled child to him.

Watching him gradually accept Leonid's existence day by day, and the little mouth that used to be taciturn now became eloquent, Ren Zhouyuan's feelings were indescribably complicated.

When sleeping at night, Anan also learned to complain to him, saying that today he taught Leonid how to say his name in Chinese, and that the 13-character name made Leonid speechless.

Anan said and laughed while dancing and imitating Leonid's tone of voice. He fell into Ren Zhouyuan's arms and giggled non-stop. Ren Zhouyuan was helpless and amused by his rare naughty behavior.

But this reminded him of another thing. The next day, after sending Anan to the extracurricular class, Ren Zhouyuan found Leonid. Seeing that Leonid was not working, Ren Zhouyuan mentioned this matter that he had been thinking about for a long time.

He asked Leonid a few questions about his recent interactions with Anan, organized the words in his head, and said, "Do you have any thoughts about Anan's name?"

Leonid paused for a moment, tapped his index finger on the table a few times, and said after a while, "I've said before that I won't compete with you for Anan, so if you don't mind, you can keep Anan's name as it is. You don't need to care too much about what I think."

Ren Zhouyuan shook his head, "You misunderstood," he smiled, "I don't have much interest in carrying on the family line. My name was given to me by the director of the orphanage at that time. Of course, when I chose Anan's name, I didn't just randomly choose one. I just wanted to ask for your opinion."

He paused, and said, "After all, Anan is also … ahem, your son, so I thought that since he is of mixed blood, having a Chinese name and a Russian name shouldn't be a big problem."

Leonid nodded to show that he understood, and then reached out to take out a small notebook from the drawer, opened one page, and handed it to Ren Zhouyuan.

Ren Zhouyuan took a look at it, and from the handwriting, there were two names written written written at least two days ago...

"Ivan Leonid Wei Qi," Ren Zhouyuan read one of the names in a low voice. He didn't know why, but the name suddenly attracted his attention. He looked up and asked, "Does this name have any special meaning?"

"God's cherished son," Leonid replied, looking into his eyes.

Ren Zhouyuan's heart was pounding hard, and he lowered his head and read it again.

After a while, he closed the notebook and said to Leonid, "This one."

"What about the other one?" Leonid asked him, "Belvshka, this name doesn't sound good?"

Ren Zhouyuan shook his head, "Ivan, this one is good."

Leonid nodded. He didn't tell Ren Zhouyuan the meaning of the other name. If the second name contained his own selfishness, then the first name was full of his blessings to the Anan.

Ren Zhouyuan didn't tell the Anan about the new name. He could almost imagine the look of disgust on the Anan's face when he heard his name. That guy was a typical person who said he disliked it, but he would teach Leonid how to read.

Leonid followed the Anan's advice very well. He followed the Anan and asked him if he read the words correctly. But after these days of observation, Ren Zhouyuan could see that he was just increasing his interaction with the Anan, but he was kind enough to let the father and son cultivate their relationship.

Previously, Ren Zhouyuan asked Fan Wenfeng to help him accept the invitation of the author, and then he didn't ask him about the follow-up of the matter. Seeing Leonid's recent relaxed behavior, Ren Zhouyuan didn't know whether it was because of the Anan or because he had solved the problem, but he soon found out the reason.

One day, Ren Zhouyuan was writing in his room, and there was a rare knock on the door. Then he saw Leonid.

"Is it convenient?" Leonid opened the door and poked his head out.

Ren Zhouyuan nodded and stood up. "Please come in." He pulled the chair over and sat on the bed. After the two sat down, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Leonid said, "We are planning a thank-you party. We want to invite cooperation organizations and some government officials to participate, and use this opportunity to promote the next focus of the promotion of the Maker Base.

“

Ren Zhouyuan nodded. "That's good." He thought for a moment and said, "Inviting government officials, can I understand that the previous crisis has been resolved?"

Leonid nodded, and the expression on his face was rare. "We didn't have much hope. The last time I went to Sea City, I also contacted another scholar. There were some problems during the negotiation, and in the end, we didn't manage to reach an agreement.

Luo En was also contacting other people. He did manage to reach out to a few people, but they weren't very famous. They could play a role, but their influence wasn't enough.

“

He added, "But we didn't expect that the scholar we had been inviting would suddenly accept our invitation. Our work has been a lot easier. We have been dealing with the government for the past two days. With this bargaining chip in our hands, the follow-up work will be much smoother."

Ren Zhouyuan was happy for him. He had to admit that Fan Wenfeng's work was really on point. He didn't even have to show up from the beginning to the end, and the matter was solved smoothly.

He congratulated him, and then heard Leonid say, "This thank-you party is also a mid-year summary of the company's phases, so I was thinking …" He paused. "Can we bring the Anan with us?"

“

Ren Zhouyuan was stunned. He didn't expect Leonid to say this.

Leonid immediately said, "You don't have to worry. I won't let the Anan do anything on the stage. I just want to bring you along."

He looked at Ren Zhouyuan tentatively and said carefully, "Everyone in the company will be present that day. Of course, as part of your work, you will also have to attend. You can take the Anan to eat delicious food, okay?"

Ren Zhouyuan wanted to laugh. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Leonid was very careful when facing him after he moved in.

He thought of what Ron had said to him before. He said that Russians were different people before and after marriage. Before they got married, the world seemed to owe them money. After they got married, it was like they owed their other half money in their previous lives. They were as cold as they were before, and as hot as they were after marriage.

But their current situation was a bit different. They weren't "married", and they weren't passionate. They were just at a subtle boundary in this specious relationship.

Ren Zhouyuan didn't know if people had this kind of vanity, but as far as he was concerned, a person who used to look down on him had become like this. On the one hand, he enjoyed Leonid's change of attitude and flattery, but on the other hand, he couldn't bear to see Leonid erasing his original nature.

"You don't have to be so careful." Ren Zhouyuan thought and suddenly blurted out.

He saw Leonid was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "Since we moved in, according to what you said, we are a 'family.' I didn't let the Anan meet you before because I was afraid that you would … Well, that's it. But now that we have moved in, as long as it's good for the Anan, I won't stop you."

Leonid's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was full of expectations and said, "So you mean, you will attend the ceremony together?"

"Yes." Ren Zhouyuan nodded. But after sending Leonid out, he felt that something was wrong.
