Shen Yao, unusually patient today, was reviewing documents in his office when his father's landline call startled him, leaving him bewildered and confused.
He still got up and went to his father's office to see what the old man was so agitated about.
As soon as he pushed open the chairman's office door, a folder flew at him.
"You unfilial son! Look at the mess you've made outside! How many times have I told you? Play all you want, but maintain your integrity. Now look, the children are this old! I'll beat you to death!"
Shen Guodong cursed, abandoning all pretense of decorum. He took off his leather shoe, grabbed it, and lunged at Shen Yao, beating him mercilessly, causing Shen Yao to jump around the office.
"What children? Dad, can you stop hitting me for every little thing? Explain it clearly."
Director Jia had initially thought he was bringing good news and receiving a large red envelope. He never expected Shen Yao to be subjected to domestic violence, and with such a bewildered look on Shen Yao's face. He suddenly wondered if he had made a mistake.
But those two children were indeed holding black cards with the Shen family crest.
No one would be foolish enough to give away such black cards so casually, right?
"Young Master Shen, they are a pair of twins, and they were holding Shen family black cards..." he reminded him.
"Twins?" Shen Yao thought of something and stopped his frantic movements. "Dragon and phoenix twins, right? Around four or five years old? Look like porcelain dolls?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Director Jia nodded vigorously.
"Their names are Yueyue and Duoduo?" Shen Yao asked again.
Director Jia recalled the little boy calling the little girl Duoduo that day and nodded, "That's right, that's right."
Shen Yao finally understood. "So it's them!"
Seeing that Shen Yao was so familiar with the situation, Shen Guodong thought it was almost certain that Shen Yao knew about the children's existence. He gripped the leather shoe in his hand tighter. "You unfilial son, what else do you have to argue about!"
Shen Yao quickly dodged. "Ah, Dad, please stop hitting me. They are Yu He's children."
Shen Guodong was stunned. "What?! What did you say? Yu He? The nameless divine doctor I know?"
Shen Yao: "That's right, they are her children. I gave them the black cards."
Shen Guodong: !!!
Director Jia: Oh wow?! Big news!
The leather shoe in Shen Guodong's hand fell to the floor with a "thud." He patted Shen Yao's shoulder, but Shen Yao dodged, not wanting him to notice the shoe sole in his hand.
"You brat! Well done! When did you capture Yu He? You even have children! You're too irresponsible, the children are this old and you didn't bring them back sooner. No, I must personally go and pick up my grandson and granddaughter."
Shen Guodong said, putting on his shoe haphazardly, quickly calling for the driver to prepare the car and for the secretary to prepare gifts for the children.
Shen Yao: "Dad, no, listen to me explain..."
"Explain what? Don't stop me from seeing my beloved grandchildren," Shen Guodong pushed Shen Yao aside. Not even the most urgent documents were as important now. He stormed out, and Shen Yao couldn't stop him.

Yu Xian Yi Clinic.
Yueyue and Duoduo had waited at home for two days without receiving the results of the paternity test. After calling to inquire for the nth time, they finally got the results.
"Okay! I'll be right over to pick them up!" Yueyue said. Just as she was about to hang up, Director Jia on the other end of the line quickly said, "Young Master, you don't need to come over. I'm already on my way to deliver them. It should be about ten minutes."
After hanging up the phone, the two little ones immediately went to wait at the clinic's entrance.
Soon, a low-key black Audi stopped at the entrance.
Duoduo saw a man get out of the back seat. He looked somewhat similar to Daddy, and he was quite handsome, though not as handsome as Daddy, of course!
She proactively struck up a conversation. "Uncle, are you here for a consultation? Do you have an appointment?"
Qin Yongyi saw the two children who looked like porcelain dolls in front of him, and his eyes softened. The children were soft, with big eyes and long eyelashes, and surprisingly resembled Yu He when she was young. He was instantly reminded of Yu He's cute appearance in her childhood, and felt a pang of nostalgia.
He crouched down and smiled kindly. "I'm looking for the nameless divine doctor. Is she here?"
"You're looking for Mommy. Mommy is out today and not at the clinic. Is there something you need? I can pass on a message for you," Duoduo said, blinking her eyes.
Qin Yongyi was taken aback. "You are Yu He's children?"
Since their brief encounter at Qin Corporation last time, the two had not met again.
However, he had been keeping tabs on Yu He's news. Seeing that her clinic had reopened, he had planned to visit. He hadn't expected her to have two such grown-up children.
He was going to be a grandfather so soon!
Duoduo nodded. Just as she was about to respond, Yueyue pulled her aside and asked warily, "Who are you?"
Seeing Yueyue's defensive demeanor, Qin Yongyi remembered that Yu He had not wanted him to continue being their father. The words "I am your maternal grandfather" were on the tip of his tongue, but they turned into, "I am a friend of your mother's. I came to see her. What are your names?"
Yueyue, like a little adult, looked at him with some doubt, protecting Duoduo, and did not answer.
"Then didn't you call in advance when you came?" Duoduo peeked out from behind Yueyue, like a curious baby.
"No," Qin Yongyi smiled.
Duoduo was about to ask more when a black extended Lincoln stopped at the entrance.
Shen Guodong saw Yueyue, Duoduo, and Qin Yongyi from inside the car. Seeing the two children who looked like porcelain dolls, his heart instantly melted. He wished he could hug them, lift them high, and spin them around.
They were his grandchildren!
His Shen family finally had descendants!
As soon as the car stopped, Shen Guodong immediately got out and approached with a smile. "Yueyue, Duoduo, Grandpa is here to pick you up."
Yueyue stepped back, protecting Duoduo, and thought, "Where did this strange old man come from?"
Seeing the wary look on the two little ones' faces, Shen Guodong was very pleased. Yu He had really raised her children well; they wouldn't trust strangers easily.
He smiled and introduced himself. "Yueyue, Duoduo, don't be afraid. I am Grandpa, Shen Yao's father."
Upon hearing this, Yueyue's small brows furrowed. It was one thing for his son to be so eager to be someone else's father, but his own father was the same. Truly, birds of a feather flock together.
"So you're Dad Shen's Dad? Hello, Grandpa," Duoduo came out from behind Yueyue and said sweetly.
Shen Guodong's heart was instantly melted. "Good, good, good, Duoduo is good. Come, come, look, Grandpa brought you gifts. Do you like them?"
As he spoke, he took several large bags of gift boxes from the driver and presented them to the two children.
"Wow, thank you, Grandpa~" Duoduo accepted them without any hesitation.
Yueyue didn't want to take them, but Duoduo directly shoved the gift boxes she received into his arms and instructed him to help carry them aside to unpack.
Seeing the two children so well-behaved, Shen Guodong was filled with joy. He was so happy that he almost overlooked Qin Yongyi beside him. It was only when the driver reminded him that he remembered.
"Fourth Master Qin, hello, hello. My apologies, I was so happy to see my grandchildren that I almost overlooked you," he said with a hearty laugh, extending his hand to shake Qin Yongyi's.
Qin Yongyi was surprised. "They are your biological grandchildren?"
