Chapter 407: Truly Becoming a Dad! A Son Out of Nowhere!

Director Zhou’s wife quickly pulled Piggy forward, placing him right in front of Wang Yun.

The boy dropped to his knees with a loud, firm sound.

“Godfather!”

His clear, childish voice rang through the house.

The moment Wang Yun heard it, his heart skipped a beat.

“Wait, hold on…”

Wang Yun was so startled, he nearly lost his balance.

Director Zhou’s wife, eyes brimming with tears, held Piggy’s hand tightly and looked at Wang Yun with utter sincerity and emotion.

“Piggy, it was your Godfather Wang Yun who saved your life. Are you willing to recognize him as your godfather?” she asked, anxiously clutching her son’s hand.

Growing up under Director Zhou’s roof, Piggy naturally understood the importance of such moments.

Without hesitation, he nodded firmly.

“I’m willing! I’m willing to recognize Godfather Wang Yun!”

Wang Yun stared at the determined little face before him, then glanced at Director Zhou and his wife’s eager expressions.

He felt like he had walked straight into a trap for a moment.

Piggy choking had been a true accident, but this was a little too fast, chasing him down to recognize a godfather right after. But now, standing here, refusing would be… pretty difficult.

Thinking it over, Wang Yun looked toward Director Zhou.

“Brother Zhou, it’s my first time visiting your home, and I didn’t prepare anything special. I didn’t even get a proper gift for Piggy. For me to accept this so suddenly, I’m afraid it’s a little…”

Wang Yun hesitated, unsure of how to refuse politely.

But he clearly underestimated Director Zhou. With a wave of his hand, Zhou brushed it off.

“Ah, what are you saying, Wang bro? Today you saved Piggy, you’re practically his second father now. And didn’t you already buy him that fancy stationery set? That’s practically the Hermes of school supplies. Enough said. But if you really don’t want to or feel pressured, just think of it as a joke, we won’t force you,” Director Zhou said this while giving his wife a meaningful side-eye.

But she wasn’t having it, she glared right back at him.

“Old Zhou, what nonsense are you spouting? Sure, Teacher Wang is young, but having a grown son already isn’t a bad thing. When he has his own children in the future, we can help out too! Besides, Piggy can be a companion for him. During holidays, he’ll have a reason to visit us often.”

As she spoke, she kept glancing at Wang Yun with a warm, maternal look.

She looked exactly like she was thinking for his future welfare.

At this rate, if she kept talking, she might even start discussing how Piggy could one day take care of Wang Yun in old age.

“Alright, alright! Brother, Sister-in-law, no need to fight over it. I really do like Piggy. Since everything feels right today, I’ll thicken my skin and accept. From now on, he’s my godson. Tomorrow, I’ll prepare a proper red envelope for him.”

Wang Yun simply couldn’t listen to any more.

With his sharp instincts, how could he not see what this was about?

Wasn’t it just an excuse to tighten their ties—and secure him for the next season of the show?

Still, though he understood it all, Wang Yun chose not to expose it. After all, Director Zhou had genuinely treated him well, fighting for his interests and looking out for him on the show.

Accepting a godson would put their hearts at ease.

Why not?

“Really?!” Director Zhou’s wife’s face lit up instantly, beaming with joy.

And Piggy was even more dramatic. He immediately kowtowed three times in front of Wang Yun—

Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Godfather!!”

“Good boy!”

That one cry of “Godfather” lit up the entire house.

Everyone’s faces were filled with laughter and warmth.

Wang Yun even accepted the wine glass handed over by Director Zhou’s son and downed it in one gulp.

That night, not only had he eaten a feast, but he’d also gained a son.

Thanks to the new bond of family, they drank until the early hours of the morning.

When Wang Yun wanted to leave, Director Zhou and his wife insisted he stay over, practically dragging him to the guest room.

By the time he woke up the next day, it was already noon.

The moment he walked out of the room, a full table of dishes was already laid out.

Before stepping out, Wang Yun stood in his room for a long while, mentally preparing himself. He remembered everything from last night clearly.

Unfortunately, he wasn’t the kind of drinker who blacked out.

He glanced down at the red string tied around his wrist and sighed inwardly.

The red string was Piggy’s gift. Something he’d worn since he was little to ward off evil, and now he had given it to his godfather.

Piggy had even promised that when he grew up, he’d buy a house for his godfather too.

Thinking about all those promises made Wang Yun’s face flush with heat.

This Piggy… if he doesn’t end up in the entertainment industry, it would be a real waste.

“Brother Wang, you’re up! Quick, come drink some honey water.” Director Zhou’s wife spotted Wang Yun and greeted him enthusiastically. “Old Zhou really didn’t know his limits last night, dragging you into drinking that much.”

Seeing her bright, beaming face, Wang Yun couldn’t help feeling a little awkward again.

He was supposed to be the grown man here.

Yet he was acting more shy than she was.

Thinking this, he adjusted his attitude and walked over with a smile.

One more son, so be it.

If he could build a strong bond with Director Zhou’s family, it would only solidify his footing in the entertainment industry.

“Thank you, Sis-in-law. Once Brother Zhou gets up, let’s head to the mall together. I need to buy a proper gift for my godson!”
