Gu Yang seemed to have eyes behind his back, and before he could emerge, he reached out and pressed him back. Qin Shen didn’t pay attention to the person behind Gu Yang at first, but then he glanced at them only to see a furry head in a coat, which was pressed down.

“If Xiao Gu is not even willing to let us see the person, the date is really precious.” Pei Yun laughed and said towards Qin Shen, “Mr. Qin, let’s go in.”

Qin Shen withdrew his gaze, turned around, and went into the box.

Jiang Yu carried Gu Yang’s coat all the way downstairs, got into the car, and he hurriedly asked, “Why didn’t you let me see him just now?”.

He hasn’t seen Qin Shen for two months. The day he left, he gave him sleeping pills and did not answer his phone. He didn’t know how Qin Shen was not particularly angry with him.

“Pei Yun is here/ Do you want to be discovered by him?” Gu Yang said angrily, “Now give me the address of the motel.”

Jiang Yu said the address of the motel, and then said: “You said that Pei Yun did not have the evidence from the party that day, so how would he know that Cheng Cheng and I took the child?”

“He has no evidence, but he is somehow suspecting you and Lin Cheng.” Gu Yang tensed his face, “When I see Lin Cheng, I’ll tell you more.”

He stopped the car at the entrance of the motel and went in. Gu Yang looked disgusted. He lowered his head and asked Jiang Yu, “Why do you live in such a place?”

“…We don’t have any money.” Jiang Yu was embarrassed and walked to the door and knocked. Lin Cheng appeared with Naonao in his arms. When he saw him, he quickly said, “Yu’er, you are back. Can you go buy milk powder? Naonao already finished the milk powder, and he is going to cry again later.”

Jiang Yu stood unmoving, Gu Yang emerged from behind him, looked at Lin Cheng with a stern face, and then looked at the child in his arms, and stared round in surprise, “You have brought the child back again?

Seeing him, Lin Cheng’s expression changed, and he pulled Jiang Yu inside the room. He wanted to lock Gu Yang out, but Gu Yang squeezed himself in. Gu Yang said with a smile, “Okay Lin Cheng, you’re throwing me away when you’re done. It’s okay to run away without making a sound, but now you won’t let me in?”

Lin Cheng did not pay attention to him and asked Jiang Yu, “How did you bring him back?”

Jiang Yu had to tell the story of how he went to an Internet cafe to exchange pearls for money and was taken away by Gu Yang’s men. Gu Yang surveyed the room. The disgust in his face was overflowing. He finished measuring the room, and then looked at the baby in Lin Cheng’s arms chewing fingers only to find that something is not quite right. He didn’t look like a two years old child. He opened his mouth and asked: “Say, this is not Pei Yun that son, right. You guys are stealing whose son now?”

Lin Cheng heard that Gu Yang helped them take away the surveillance cameras at the banquet and Pei Yun had no evidence to know who was that took the child away, so he looked better at Gu Yang and said casually, “It’s not your son anyway.”

“Of course, it’s not my son. Is it your son?” Gu Yang sneered, seeing that Lin Cheng didn’t refute, he exploded all of a sudden, “…Lin Cheng, how dare you to make a son behind my back?!”

As soon as Lin Cheng heard his tone, he was furious and said angrily, “Why don’t I dare? I dare.”

Not only do I dare, but I have one in my belly already.

Jiang Yu: ……

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel in his face, Jiang Yu quickly took Naonao from Lin Cheng’s arms and explained, “It’s my son, not Cheng Cheng’s. You see Naonao looks like me, not Cheng Cheng.”

“…… How old are you?” Gu Yang looked at him in disbelief, thinking that he was taking the blame for Lin Cheng, but after staring at the baby for a few more moments, it did look more like him than Lin Cheng.

“I don’t care if you believe it. I don’t want to see you, so get out.” Lin Cheng rolled his eyes at him, trying to push him out.

“Cheng Cheng.” Jiang Yu hurriedly pulled him back and asked Gu Yang, “You said in the car that Pei Yun was suspecting Cheng Cheng and me, there was no evidence, so why would he suspect us?”

Gu Yang only then remembered the business at hand. Just now was annoyed by the thought of Lin Cheng having a baby with someone else behind his back that he forgot. He said: “I don’t know why. He came to the company to find me on the second day after the banquet and said he wanted to see the two of you, but I turned him off. As soon as you disappeared, I had people guarding the house where you lived. As a result, the bodyguard told me that there were people monitoring your house. I asked them to check, and they were Pei Yun’s people, and he was still checking your itinerary in private. “

“After you haven’t come back for a while, I began to think that if the news of your disappearance spreads, wouldn’t that reveal the fact that you stole other people’s children? So, I released the news that you were participating in a closed variety show invested and filmed by the company. In this way, even if Pei Yun can’t find you, there is no evidence to say that you stole his child. Am I very smart?” Gu Yang looked at Lin Cheng proudly, wanting to get credit for his actions.

Lin Cheng rolled his eyes again and said, “Then if we don’t come back for the rest of our lives, can you use this excuse for recording the show for the rest of our lives?”

Gu Yang’s face cracked on the spot, “You still want to not come back for life?

Jiang Yu swayed back and forth while holding Naonao. Seeing that they were arguing again, he quickly asked the key question, “What should we do now?”

“Go to my place first. How can you live in a place like this.” Gu Yang said.

They now have no money, and Pei Yun is suspecting them, plus Lin Cheng now has eggs. The two looked at each other, and without any objection, took Naonao and left with Gu Yang.

Gu Yang took them to a villa in the south of the city and urged: “You guys stay here for a few days first. The aunt cooks the food every day, so don’t go out and let people see you. I’ll go back and see what my brother had to talk with Pei Yun.”

“Hey, let someone buy some supplies for children.” Lin Cheng stopped him. Naonao had no more milk left, even the only bag of milk powder was finished.

“I’ll have the secretary buy them and send them over.” Gu Yang agreed and left in a hurry.

Gu Yang’s secretary soon sent a lot of baby supplies, including small clothes, small towels, small pillows, small beds, as well as various milk powder diapers and toys, all of which were almost piled up into a hill. Jiang Yu was stunned when he saw it. It’s so troublesome for humans to raise a child.

Naonao was very happy. He had on new clothes, and he crawled around on the sofa. His little mouth opened, and Jiang Yu gave him a bottle of brewed milk powder. He lay down and drank quietly with the bottle in his arms. Not making trouble (Insert pun here).

In the evening, just after dinner, Gu Yang came back with a black face. When he went back to the clubhouse, his brother, Pei Yun, and Qin Shen were still there. They were discussing the matter of the large piece of land in the northern suburbs of the city. Originally, the land was divided between their family and the Qin family, but he doesn’t know how Pei Yun got involved with the mayor’s secretary and joined in to get a share of the pie. When he went, Pei Yun was inquiring about the closed variety show with his brother and was willing to give up part of the land in exchange for the opportunity to invest in that variety show.

This is obviously because Pei Yun did not hesitate to use land in exchange for finding Lin Cheng and Jiang Yu. God knows that the variety show was made up by him. He originally wanted to make a statement in a few days saying that there was a problem in the middle of the recording of the show and it was canceled. He didn’t expect his brother to see such a good thing and agreed to it. Now he had to catch the bull by its horns (1) and come up with a show.

After listening, Jiang Yu and Lin Cheng looked at each other and were very uneasy. Pei Yun even paid such a high price in order to find them. After finding them, will he arrest them and study them just like Lu Qing?

“…Don’t let him find us.” Lin Cheng said hesitantly, but he was very annoyed in his heart. If he hadn’t been pregnant with fish eggs, they wouldn’t have come ashore again.

Seeing his anxiety, Gu Yang reached over and comforted him: “Do not worry, even if he saw you, there is no evidence that you stole his son, so he wouldn’t dare to do anything to you. And there’s still me, I won’t let him hurt you.”

Seeing the two of them in a cordial atmosphere, Jiang Yu quietly carried Naonao upstairs. Naonao’s things were moved upstairs in the afternoon. There were many toys scattered on the bed. Jiang Yu put Naonao on the bed and saw the room curtains are not drawn, go over to pull the curtains.

“Kacha” In the dark night, someone quietly pressed the shutter on a car facing the curtains on the path in the distance.

The next morning, Jiang Yu was woken up by the heavyweight on his chest. When he opened his eyes, he saw Naonao lying on his chest, and his little hands were pulling his hair, babbling and smiling at him.

“You’re awake so early. Did you have a boo-boo last night?” Jiang Yu hugged him and got up, took off his diaper, and looked at it; it was wet.

“Do you want to go swimming in the water?” Jiang Yu pinched the little guy’s cheeks, since they went ashore, the little guy has not been in the water.

He undressed Naonao naked, then carried him to the bathroom. The bathtub was filled with water, and he tested the temperature before he let Naonao into the bathtub. Naonao touched the water, broke away from his arms, flapping his short legs and arms in the water, and seeing that he was about to sink, his two short legs turned into a small tail, and he swam around in the bathtub happily.

Jiang Yu went outside and took a few balls and toy ducklings and put them in the water for him to play with and went to the mirror to wash his face and brush his teeth. After he had cleaned up, he took Naonao out of the water, wiped his white and tender body clean, waited for the fishtail to turn back into short legs, put on his small clothes, wrapped him in diapers, and carried him downstairs.

The aunt downstairs was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, and neither Gu Yang nor Lin Cheng was up. Jiang Yu played with Naonao on the sofa for a while, before Lin Cheng slowly came downstairs in a bad mood, while Gu Yang followed behind him with a refreshing look on his face.

The breakfast that the aunty made included millet porridge, Xiao Long Bao, boiled eggs with milk, and a few dishes of refreshing side dishes. While drinking millet porridge, Gu Yang took out his mobile phone and flipped through Weibo, but his expression suddenly changed, and he scolded, “These damn paparazzi. They are fucking filming again!”

Sneak peek? Lin Cheng suddenly remembered that the curtains in the room last night seemed to have been left open, he hurriedly took Gu Yang’s phone and looked at the photos on it.

Jiang Yu peeled a boiled egg for Naonao to eat and also peeked over them curiously, but he suddenly froze. The photo is not of Gu Yang and Lin Cheng, but of him pulling the curtains at the window, and the caption reads in big letters: President of Haiyin Entertainment Gu Yang and his artist Jiang Yu are in a room together late at night, and their romance is suspected to be exposed.

This misunderstanding is really big. Gu Yang was furious and denounced the unprofessionalism of the paparazzi. Who could take the wrong picture of the person?

Jiang Yu was in a daze. He remembered Qin Shen who he met in the corridor yesterday and clenched his fingers holding the spoon. Qin Shen would not see this photo and misunderstood it, right?

In the president’s office of the Qin Group, Qin Shen just arrived and the assistant came in with a cup of coffee and a stack of documents. Qin Shen sat in his office chair and took a sip of coffee, then opened the file and began to review it.

Halfway through the review, he remembered that there were still a few emails that had not been sent yesterday. He put down the pen and turned on the computer. Just as he was about to enter the mailbox, a news message suddenly popped up on the webpage.

The assistant carried the coffee he made for himself and was about to sit back and enjoy it when the elevator door opened with a ding and Fang Miao ran out from inside in a hurry, dragging him and asking, “Where’s my brother?”

“…… in the office.” The assistant had just finished speaking when Fang Miao rushed towards the office. Pushing open the door, seeing behind the desk, his brother’s gloomy face staring at the computer, Fang Miao’s heart thumped, dammit, he was not late, his brother hasn’t already seen Jiang Yu’s photo, right?

“Brother ……” Fang Miao took two steps towards the office and spoke in a whisper when suddenly there was a “bang” and his brother stood up violently from his chair, which slid heavily behind him and hit the wall.

Qin Shen didn’t say a word, picked up his jacket, and walked out of the office in stride.

A speeding car slammed to the side of the road. The closed windows filled with the lingering smell of smoke. Qin Shen held the cigarette in his left hand, took out his mobile phone with his right hand, and clicked on the breaking news, the strength of his fingers almost crushed the screen of the mobile phone.

It’s really good, he disappeared for two whole months, and when we meet again, he becomes someone else’s date. Qin Shen stared gloomily at the photo, thinking of the person who met with Gu Yang yesterday and hid behind him, was it… Jiang Yu?

He inhaled deeply, maniacally scratched his messy hair, sent the photo, and then dialed the phone, his voice was hoarse with a hint of hostility, “Find out for me where Gu Yang’s villa is.”

The phone hung up, not long after the phone rang, but not the number dialed, but an unfamiliar phone, he stared at it for two seconds before answering, “Hello.”

“This is Gu Yang.” Gu Yang’s irritated voice came from inside, said an address, and hung up the phone.

Qin Shen used his thumb to put out his cigarette, and once he threw the phone, he did not hesitate to drive towards the address Gu Yang said and sped off.

Inside the villa, Gu Yang hung up the phone and Jiang Yu turned towards him gratefully and said, “Thank you.”

“He’s here, you can explain to him yourself.” Gu Yang’s face was stern, this boss was not happy.

He has never dealt with the one surnamed Qin. He not only robbed him of his business but also always robbed his company’s artists. The day after Lin Cheng and Jiang Yu disappeared, Qin broke into his office and forced him to tell him where Jiang Yu had gone. He was looking for Lin Cheng, and he wanted to find someone to ask. Later, because of Pei Yun, he made up the fact that Lin Cheng and Jiang Yu were participating in a closed variety show. The one surnamed Qin broke into his office again and asked about Jiang Yu’s whereabouts. The two almost fought.

Lin Cheng had just gone upstairs with Naonao sleeping. Gu Yang did not want to see Qin Shen downstairs, so he got up and was about to go upstairs when Qin Shen barged in through the front door.

He walked up to Gu Yang without looking at him, rolled up his sleeves, and before Gu Yang could react, he was punched in the chest.

“…… you fucking ……” Gu Yang covered his chest nearly falling, his face twisted, squeezing out his voice from his throat.

Lin Cheng walked to the stairway, just in time to see Gu Yang being punched, and quickly ran down to help Gu Yang, angrily glaring at Qin Shen, “What did you hit him for?”

Jiang Yu was also startled and hurried over to pull Qin Shen’s arm and said sharply, “Don’t you hit him. You misunderstood.”

“…… you wait for me.” Gu Yang stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed at Qin Shen to let go of his harsh words, and was helped by Lin Cheng to sit on the sofa.

“Misunderstanding?” Qin Shen looked at Jiang Yu, his gaze swept over his hands that grabbed him. He took a step back to distance himself from him, his voice was cold.

Jiang Yu suppressed the uncomfortable feeling that rose in his heart, and busily explained, “Well, you misunderstood that photo online, Cheng Cheng and I both stayed here last night, Cheng Cheng is the one who is dating Gu Yang.”

Qin Shen heard the words and glanced at Gu Yang, who was sitting on the sofa, and was lying on Lin Cheng’s body as if he had no bones. He looked back and asked coldly, “What else?”

After giving him medicine, he disappeared for two months, and he was not the first to look for him when he came back.

He exhausted all means to find him but found that everything about Jiang Yu as a person was fake as if he appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air leaving no trace behind.

The only one who has a connection with Jiang Yu is Lin Cheng. but Lin Cheng disappeared together with him. He found out that before they disappeared, they went to a party with Gu Yang. He went to Gu Yang, but Gu Yang said he didn’t know either. If he didn’t have people watching Gu Yang and found out that he really didn’t know, he would not have let Gu Yang go.

“You sit first, I will slowly tell you.” Jiang Yu pursed his lips and said.

Qin Shen did not say anything and walked to the sofa and sat down, looking at him with no expression.

Jiang Yu squeezed his fingers tightly and explained to Qin Shen (2) what he had explained to Gu Yang before.

Qin Shen was not as easy to deceive as Gu Yang. He asked coldly: “This kind of thing is worth you drugging me? You know I will find you, but you didn’t call me for two months?”

Gu Yang gloated next to him, although Lin Cheng also did not call him for two whole months, at least he did not drug him.

The laughter caused pain in his chest. He hissed softly and cursed in his heart. This Qin guy is really serious and deserves to be drugged.

“They also explained to you in the same way, and you believed it?” Qin Shen suddenly turned his head to look at him, his tone was with contempt as if he was saying he was stupid.

Gu Yang’s face stiffened, f*ck, how can this feeling of being disliked for his intelligence be so annoying?

“You can believe if you can or not.” Lin Cheng has a violent temper and directly said, “Yu’er also did not mean to do that to you.”

Gu Yang took the opportunity to express his loyalty, “I believe, I believe. Do not be angry. My chest still hurts, quickly help me rub.”

“Rub what rub.” Lin Cheng disgustedly pushed him away, and suddenly remembered, “Naonao is alone upstairs.” Then he hurriedly ran upstairs. Gu Yang followed and chased after him.

Only the two of them were left in the living room. Jiang Yu got up and sat next to Qin Shen, with his eyes unblinkingly looking at him, eyes full of guilt and apologies, whispered, “I really didn’t mean to ……”

He left also very sad.

Qin Shen also looked at him. The young man was thinner than two months ago, and his chin was pointed. God knew how much he wanted to hold him in his arms, but he couldn’t stand the deception, and he heard his rational and indifferent voice, “I want a reason, a real reason for you to leave.”

Jiang Yu’s gaze was dull and he bit his lips with difficulty.

Qin Shen closed his eyes in disappointment. He stood up to leave, and Jiang Yu hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said, “Pei Yun is a bad person, very, very bad person, you don’t get too close to him.”

Qin Shen tensed his body and broke free from his hand. He turned and left without saying a word.
