When Lin Cheng came downstairs, he only saw Jiang Yu sitting alone on the sofa and froze.

He walked to Jiang Yu’s side, sat down, and asked, “He’s gone?”

“Yes.” Jiang Yu nodded while looking lost, “He didn’t believe me. He wants the real reason as to why we left.”

Lin Cheng sighed. With what happened to Lu Qing as an example, how could they say the real reason?

“What about Naonao?” Jiang Yu pursed his lips and asked.

“Just woke up. I let Gu Yang play with him upstairs.” Lin Cheng reached out and rubbed his head comfortingly, “Don’t be sad. We …… don’t belong here, after all, sooner or later we still have to go back.”

Jiang Yu gloomily lowered his eyes. Yes, they went ashore again this time because Lin Cheng was pregnant with fish eggs, and because Naonao couldn’t adapt to the bottom of the sea. They still had to go back to the future.

“Where are you going?” Gu Yang’s voice came down the stairs, and the two of them turned to look and saw that he came downstairs with Naonao, the little guy was sitting on his neck, his two little and chubby hands were grabbing his hair. His eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.

“Are you guys thinking of sneaking away again?” Gu Yang is now very sensitive to words like go back and leave, so he said alertly.

“No, we’ve only been back for a few days. If we wanted to leave, why would we come back?” Lin Cheng said perfunctory to him, but seeing that he was only holding Nao Nao’s two short legs, he said worriedly, “Be careful don’t let Naonao fall.”

“Will not.” Gu Yang shook Naonao, “the little one is sitting very stable.”

The words had just fallen when Naonao let go of the little hand that was holding onto his hair, babbled, smiled, and leaned back.

“Naonao!” Jiang Yu and Lin Cheng stood up at the same time and exclaimed, but fortunately, Gu Yang responded quickly, grabbing Naonao’s short leg with one hand and supporting his little butt with the other, so the little guy didn’t fall backward.

“Look at how old he is. He’s still not stable at all.” Lin Cheng quickly took Naonao from his hand, handed it over to Jiang Yu, and reprimanded him.

Gu Yang scratched his head embarrassingly, not daring to speak.

Naonao didn’t know how dangerous it was just now; he thought he was playing with him just now, and laughed heartlessly. Jiang Yu broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing that the little guy was still so happy, he turned him over on the sofa, and patted his little butt, “You are still laughing? You are so naughty.”

“What are we going to do about the photos?” Jiang Yu held Naonao into his arms, looking at the little guy that had a few points in similitude with Qin Shen. He suppressed the hard feelings in his heart, opened his mouth, and asked.

Gu Yang touched his chin. It was a bit difficult to do. If they want to clarify, it is bound to involve Lin Cheng, but if it is explained that Lin Cheng is also in the villa, it will become his boss and his two artists living in the same room, and then the scandal that will spread will not be as simple as a relationship. Those entertainment big Vs and netizens on Weibo may say something ugly.

He can forget it himself, but it’s not a good thing for Lin Cheng and Jiang Yu.

After all, he blamed the paparazzi for being unprofessional. He pressed Lin Cheng to kiss by the window for so long that night, and he didn’t even take a single photo. Otherwise, he now would be well-known as Lin Cheng’s boyfriend, and he will not have to clarify anything.

Gu Yang secretly hated the paparazzi for being unprofessional.

The three people thought and thought but could not think of a good way, and could only temporarily ignore it.

Gu Yang stayed for a while, then went out to the company. As soon as he drove out of the villa, he received a call from his brother and asked him to go to the head office.

The majority of the Gu family’s industries were being taken care of by Gu Yang’s brother, and Gu Yang only has a few companies in his hands, including Haiyin Entertainment. He hung up the phone and drove to his brother’s place.

When he arrived, his brother was in a meeting and his assistant asked him to wait in the reception room. When he went in, he found a person already sitting inside, it was Pei Yun.

“Young Master Gu.” Pei Yun greeted him.

Gu Yang frowned at him, “You’re here to see my brother too?”

Because Lin Cheng, he now had very little good feeling toward Pei Yun.

“Brother Ling asked me to discuss the plot of land in the north of the city.” Pei Yun noticed Gu Yang’s hostility towards him, smiled, and asked, “Young Master Gu seems to have misunderstood me, right? Did someone tell you something about me?”

“Mr. Pei is thinking too much.” Gu Yang said without changing his face, “Has Mr. Pei ever done anything bad that could make me misunderstand?”

Pei Yun smiled and didn’t say anything and changed the subject, “How is the investment in the variety show that Young Master Gu is patronizing? I’m really curious about what this variety show that requires stars to be closed and recorded is like.”

Gu Yang coldly snorted, “You use the land for investment opportunities, are not afraid that the program would flop after being broadcasted?”

“I believe in Young Master Gu’s vision, not to mention that there is a well-known artist like Lin Cheng participating. I am sure that the ratings will not be low.” Pei Yun smiled and nodded with his fingers on his thigh, “The location of the recording should not be far from Linghai City, otherwise, how would Young Master Gu have time to bring Jiang Yu, who should be recording a show, back to his home for a date.”

He knew that Pei Yun would inquire about Lin Cheng and Jiang Yu, so Gu Yang smiled but did not say anything, picked up the coffee brought in by his assistant, and took a sip.

Pei Yun’s fingers curled up in his lap, this Gu Yang is really secretive and is not willing to reveal any clues.

“I still have things to do at the company, so I won’t be here with you waiting for my brother.” Gu Yang looked at his watch, put down his coffee, and stood up, “I’ll go first.”

He pulled open the door of the reception room and went out, ignoring the assistant’s obstruction.

When he got to the company, he received a call from his brother, saying that he had already talked to Pei Yun, who was very interested in that closed variety show he had planned and asked him for a date to take Pei Yun to see it.

Gu Yang used the excuse that he was busy recently and put it off for the time being, but finally, his brother said that tomorrow night Fang Hua was going to hold a birthday party at home and asked him to attend.

The fact that Fang Hua is going to hold a birthday party is also known to Jiang Yu. Gu Yang bought him and Lin Cheng a new cell phone and SIM card, so he got in touch with Yan Shu. When he first disappeared, Yan Shu was also dying of anxiety, but then listened to Gu Yang’s instructions and pretended that Jiang Yu was participating in a closed variety show, keeping his disappearance a strict secret.

As soon as his photo was exposed in the morning, Yan Shu received a call from Fang Hua’s side, inviting Jiang Yu to his birthday party. He had worked with Fang Hua, and the photos revealed that he was now not recording a variety show and was in Linghai City, so naturally there was no reason to refuse.

So, the next night, Lin Cheng was at the villa taking care of Naonao, while Gu Yang and Jiang Yu went to Fang Hua’s birthday party, but they didn’t go at the same time, Gu Yang left the office and Yan Shu came to pick up Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu had already explained to Yan Shu the reason for his disappearance, and he still gave the same speech to Gu Yang, so Yan Shu believed it without much suspicion, so she was not surprised to see him coming out of Gu Yang’s villa.

Yan Shu first took Jiang Yu to take care of his hair and makeup, and then chose a suitable outfit for him to put on before driving to the banquet.

Fang Hua’s birthday party was held in his home, a two-story garden villa. When they arrived, a lot of people had already come. Jiang Yu and Yan Shu got out of the car and walked inside. Fang Miao was standing at the door talking to others. Seeing him, he hurriedly greeted him, “Xiao Yu.”

“Miao Miao.” Seeing Fang Miao, Jiang Yu smiled happily. In just two months without seeing him, Fang Miao changed to a fresh hairstyle, the whole person showed a lot of spirits.

Fang Miao pulled him inside, chanting while walking, “Xiao Yu, I missed you so much. I couldn’t contact you for two months, and you didn’t contact me.”

“Miao Miao, I’m sorry.” Jiang Yu looked ashamed. His departure had hurt so many people, which was not his original intention.

“It’s good to come back.” Fang Miao pulled him to a corner, saw no one around, and asked in a whisper, “These two months, what exactly did you do to go? Do you know that my brother ……”

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw his agent looking around for him, and when he saw him, he came over and said, “Miao Miao, your father wants you to come over.”

“What’s your current cell phone number? We’ll talk again sometime.” Fang Miao exchanged cell phone numbers with him again and followed the agent to Fang Hua’s side.

When Fang Miao mentioned Qin Shen, Jiang Yu couldn’t help but be distracted. Yesterday Qin Shen left without saying a word. He must be very disappointed with him. He wouldn’t forgive him anymore.

“Jiang Yu?” Someone called out to him, he looked up at the visitor, and his body instantly tensed up. It was Pei Yun.

Pei Yun shook the red wine in his hand and walked toward him, his mouth held a smile as he asked, “Young Master Gu didn’t come with you?”

Jiang Yu looked at him, vigilant in his heart, pursed his lips, and did not speak.

“Oh, yes, I forgot to introduce myself, my surname is Pei.” Pei Yun casually handed the red wine glass in his hand to a maid passing by, extended his hand towards Jiang Yu, and looked at him with a smile.

“…… Mr. Pei.” Jiang Yu opened his mouth and slowly extended his hand when Gu Yang’s voice suddenly came from the side, “Mr. Pei.”

He strode over to Jiang Yu’s side, reached out, shook hands with Pei Yun, and asked, “What is President Pei talking to him?”

Pei Yun’s face remained unchanged and smiled, “Before I could say anything, Young Master Gu came.”

“Haha.” Gu Yang faked two laughs.

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly withdrew his hand. Luckily Gu Yang came, he didn’t want to shake hands with Pei Yun.

“President Qin.” Pei Yun suddenly called out towards the distance, and Jiang Yu’s heart tightened. He followed his gaze, and he saw Qin Shen surrounded by several artists, looking at this side with no expression.

Qin Shen looked down and said something to the artists around him, and then walked toward them.

What the hell is he doing here? Seeing Qin Shen walking over, Gu Yang’s eyebrows twitched, and the chest that was beaten yesterday couldn’t help but hurt faintly.

Damn, it’s hard to get rid of his hatred of being beaten if he doesn’t go back without revenge. Gu Yang bit his cheek, and when he saw Jiang Yu beside him, he turned his head and had an idea.

“Mr. Qin is also here.” He reached out and put his hand on Jiang Yu’s shoulder and looked at Qin Shen with a smile.

Facing Qin Shen, Jiang Yu was nervous and anxious when he was suddenly put on Gu Yang’s shoulder and turned his head to look at him in surprise.

“Didn’t you say you were hungry before you came, eat two pieces of snacks to pad your stomach first?” Gu Yang turned around with Jiang Yu on his shoulder and took a plate of dim sum from a side table and gave it to him, winking at him.

Not knowing what he was going to do, Jiang Yu held the dim sum blankly. From the corner of Gu Yang’s eyes, he saw that Qin Shen’s face instantly turned gloomy. His eyes fixed on his arm resting on Jiang Yu’s shoulder, and he was so proud of himself that if he were to hit him, he won’t be mad at him.

Pei Yun did not know the relationship between the three people and added fuel to the fire beside him, “This is the person who was hidden behind Young Master Gu the other day in the corridor, right? Really a beautiful little friend, no wonder Young Master Gu is so cautious and does not let people get close.”

Gu Yang was about to say something to Qin Shen with fake politeness, when he saw his expression recover and said slowly, “That’s because Mr. Pei hasn’t seen Mr. Gu with Lin Cheng of his company.”

Thinking of Lin Cheng, Gu Yang quickly took his arm off Jiang Yu’s shoulder, glared at Qin Shen, and cursed in his heart. Damn, this man surnamed Qin sure has a family (No idea here. Tell me if you do. Raws: 这个姓秦的,拿准他是有家室的人了。).

“Lin Cheng ……” Pei Yun looked at Jiang Yu with a smile, “I have heard about Lin Cheng’s songs. His voice is heavenly. It is not like something a human can sing. I heard that you and Lin Cheng are cousins, so do you also know how to sing? Coincidentally, my lover also sings and has a beautiful singing voice, so why don’t we find an opportunity for you to meet.”

“No need.” Jiang Yu squeezed his fingers tightly and said dryly, “I don’t know how to sing.”

“Oh?” Pei Yun did not believe in his words and still said with deep meaning, “No need to be modest, little friend, your voice is so nice, so your singing must be good too. I believe it will not be worse than Lin Cheng.”

Gu Yang was about to open his mouth to speak, but Qin Shen had already opened his mouth before him and said to Pei Yun nonchalantly, “Mr. Pei already has a lover, but you are still so interested in the artists under Mr. Gu?”

Pei Yun did not expect Qin Shen to suddenly open his mouth, so he froze for a moment, and then laughed: “Mr. Qin misunderstood ……”

“Really? Director Fang is over there; you don’t want to see him? I’ll take you there.” Before he could finish, Qin Shen interrupted him, turned, and walked toward Fang Hua. He took two steps, looked back at the still-standing Pei Yun, who didn’t move, and said, “What? Mr. Pei only wants to talk with the young, and doesn’t want to see Director Fang?”

Pei Yun clenched his fist and reluctantly smiled at Jiang Yu, “See you next time.” Only then turned around and walked towards Qin Shen.

Seeing him leave, Gu Yang scolded in a small voice next to him, “Is there something wrong with this Pei Yun? You and Lin Cheng stole his son, why does he always mention singing?”

Jiang Yu bit his lips and did not speak, his heart surged with great worry and anxiety. Pei Yun was no longer suspicious but was very sure that he and Cheng Cheng were involved.

During the whole banquet, Jiang Yu was uneasy. Although Pei Yun never had time to come to him, Pei Yun’s eyes fell on him from time to time with deep meaning, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

When he went back, Jiang Yu did not let Yan Shu send him but took Gu Yang’s car back to the villa together. When he arrived outside the villa, Gu Yang was about to get out of the car, when he saw that Jiang Yu had not moved, he wondered, “What are you staring at? Get out of the car.”

Jiang Yu regained his senses, grabbed Gu Yang’s arm sideways, and solemnly urged, “You must protect Cheng Cheng.”

Gu Yang looked at him puzzled, and Jiang Yu said seriously: “Pei Yun is a very, very bad person, and his methods are crueler than you can imagine. He has already set his sights on me and Cheng Cheng. Once he is caught, the consequences will be catastrophic. It will be very serious. You must protect Cheng Cheng and not let him leave your side, otherwise, he will fall into Pei Yun’s hands and suffer great harm.”

Cheng Cheng had fish eggs in his stomach, and he could hardly imagine what Pei Yun would do to him if he caught him.

“Don’t worry. I won’t let Pei Yun hurt Lin Cheng.” Seeing that he was actually so afraid of Pei Yun, Gu Yang comforted, “Neither you nor Lin Cheng needs to worry.”

Seeing that he promised to protect Lin Cheng, Jiang Yu was slightly relieved.

It was a little late to go back, and Lin Cheng had already put Naonao to sleep. After Jiang Yu washed up, he lay down beside Naonao, looking at the little guy’s slightly open mouth and sleeping red face. His restless heart gradually calmed down, and he leaned over to kiss the little guy’s forehead before closing his eyes to fall asleep.

The next morning, Jiang Yu was changing diapers for Naonao, when he received a call from Fang Miao, asking if he had time to go out for coffee.

When he thought about what he hadn’t said yesterday, Jiang Yu agreed and left Naonao to Lin Cheng and Gu Yang, and he left the house alone.

When he arrived at the cafe Fang Miao said, he walked inside and saw Fang Miao wearing sunglasses at the corner.

Fang Miao also saw him and waved at him. Waiting for him to go over, he said, “I’ve already ordered coffee for you.”

The clerk sent the coffee over before Fang Miao took off his sunglasses and looked at Jiang Yu and sighed, “Xiao Yu, you seem to have lost weight.”

Jiang Yu pursed his lips and smiled. Taking care of a child was quite tiring, but fortunately, he had Lin Cheng give him a hand so he wasn’t too busy.

“You’ve met my brother, right?” Fang Miao began to enter the topic, “You don’t even know, after finding out that you were missing, he was going crazy.”

Jiang Yu gripped his coffee cup tightly and looked at him steadily.

Fang Miao sighed and continued: “He’s been looking for you everywhere. He didn’t take care of the company, he didn’t sleep well for a week, and he didn’t eat much food. When I went to find him, he was in the house where I played the game, the living room and the bedroom were full of cigarette butts, and I don’t know how many packs of cigarettes he smoked. I’ve never seen him be so decadent for anyone or anything.”

Jiang Yu’s heart trembled, and the fingers that clenched the coffee cup turned white.

“Xiao Yu, I don’t know why you suddenly disappeared, but I believe you didn’t do it on purpose.” Fang Miao held his hand, “You have to explain it to my brother. Do you remember his phone number? I’ll give it to you.”

Fang Miao saved Qin Shen’s cell phone number in Jiang Yu’s cell phone, and after sitting for a while, he looked at the time and said, “I have an announcement to go, I’ll meet again later.”

Once Fang Miao left, Jiang Yu also came out of the cafe and stood at the entrance of the cafe, holding his cell phone, looking at Qin Shen’s mobile number on the screen, his finger hesitated whether to press it or not.

He turned his back on the pedestrians behind him and stared at the glass wall of the cafe reflecting himself in contemplation, and was making up his mind to press it when he saw two people staring at him furtively on the glass wall that reflected the pedestrians behind him.

Pei Yun. His heart sank, and the name instantly came to his mind. Pei Yun sent someone to watch him.

He put away his phone, pretended as if nothing had happened, and turned around to leave, and the two men quickly followed. The two of them didn’t even care about it, and they quickly chased after Jiang Yu, getting closer and closer. Jiang Yu was anxious, there was a crosswalk in front of him, and the green light is only the last ten seconds left, he immediately pulled his leg and ran over there. Seeing him run, the two people behind him also followed.

When he ran past, the green light had already passed and the cars on both sides had started to flow slowly, but the people behind him had already caught up and tugged on Jiang Yu’s arm. Jiang Yu struggled to break away, but he ended up being pulled too strong and rushed into the crosswalk, and accidentally fell to the ground.

“Zee,” a car that was driving overcame to a sudden stop and peeked out of the window, and yelled at him, “What are you doing? Do you want to die?”

Jiang Yu was so shocked that he turned to look at the people chasing him with his palms propped up on the ground. There were too many people around, and Jiang Yu drew attention to the fact that the two men were standing by the crosswalk and didn’t dare to make another move.

Jiang Yu fell on the crosswalk, the vehicles on both sides could not move, so they became impatient, and the honking sounded incessant. In the car, Qin Shen saw that it suddenly could not go on, frowned, and asked, “What happened in front?”

The assistant looked through the car window to probe, and he could just see a person sitting down on the crosswalk, replied, “It seems that someone fell down on the crosswalk …… Jiang Yu?!”

Seeing the person, he hurriedly said, “Mr. Qin, it’s Jiang Yu. He seems to be injured and can’t get up. Should we ……”

He wanted to say do you want to go help him, but from the rearview mirror he saw Qin Shen’s suddenly gloomy face, and the rest of the words were swallowed into his mouth.

The horn sounded all around, Qin Shen sat in the back seat with a gloomy face and said fiercely for a long time, “It’s noisy.”

Jiang Yu struggled to stand up, but he fell a little hard just now, his knees and pants were torn, and his feet seemed to be swollen. He was sweating in a hurry and was suddenly picked up by someone by the waist. He raised his head in panic, and what caught his eye was Qin Shen’s tense and gloomy face.
