Jiang Yu was carried to the car, and the traffic slowly began to move. He looked out of the car window, and the two men by the crosswalk took out a cell phone; it should be to call Pei Yun.

A clean handkerchief was thrown into his hand. Jiang Yu turned his head and only saw Qin Shen’s expressionless side face with his eyes tightly closed, so he leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes.

“…… Thanks.” Jiang Yu cupped his handkerchief and thanked him.

Qin Shen closed his eyes and didn’t move a bit as if he didn’t hear.

Jiang Yu had no choice but to withdraw his gaze and lowered his eyes.

The assistant wanted to ask what had just happened, but when he saw Qin Shen in the rearview mirror, he closed his mouth.

The vehicle was quiet for a while, and then Jiang Yu’s cell phone rang, He hurriedly moved to the car window and answered in a whisper, “Cheng Cheng.”

Lin Cheng asked him over the phone when he was going back, and Jiang Yu whispered, “I’ll be right back, Cheng Cheng. Don’t go out. I just met Pei Yun’s people.”

“I’m fine, anyway, don’t go out. He doesn’t know you’re there yet, so wait until I get back.” Jiang Yu finished talking, hang up the phone, and glanced at Qin Shen. Seeing that he was still resting with his eyes closed, he peeked forward and whispered to the assistant: “Stop in front. I’ll just go down and take a taxi.”

The assistant was hesitant to stop the car, but then he heard Qin Shen, who had been resting his eyes, open his mouth, “Go to the company.”

The assistant hurriedly answered. Jiang Yu looked at Qin Shen again and saw that he did not open his eyes to talk to him, so he had to sit back.

When he arrived at the company’s underground parking lot, the car stopped. Qin Shen opened his eyes and said to the assistant, “You go down first.”

The assistant unbuckled the seat belt and got out of the car, closing the door.

In the closed car, only the two of them were left. Jiang Yu looked at Qin Shen, opened his mouth, and was about to speak, when Qin Shen suddenly reached out and took the handkerchief that Jiang Yu had held all the way from his hand, leaning over to bandage the bruised wound on his knee.

After the bandage, Qin Shen was about to retreat, and Jiang Yu hurriedly reached out to pull his sleeve and said softly, “I’m sorry.”

“That’s not what I want to hear.” Qin Shen looked at him fixedly, “You know what I want to hear.”

Jiang Yu opened his mouth, but finally, let go of the fingers pulling his sleeve.

The truth he wanted to hear, he could not say.

A look of disappointment appeared in Qin Shen’s eyes as he turned around and opened the car door and got out of the car.

The assistant waited outside the car, and when he saw him get out, he hurried over. Qin Shen suppressed his anger and ordered in a cold voice, “Send him back.”

He said the address of Gu Yang’s villa and left with big strides.

On the way back to the villa, Jiang Yu sat in the car, looking out the window without saying a word. The assistant looked at him from the rearview mirror several times, wanting to say something but in the end only sighed.

When he arrived at the villa, the assistant helped him get out of the car and sent him in before leaving. On the way back to the office, the assistant received a call from Qin Shen, asking him to go to the office when he finished.

The assistant came out of the elevator and walked to the president’s office and knocked on the door before going in. Qin Shen was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, saw him enter, turned around, and ordered, “Go check Pei Yun’s information.”

The assistant remembered what Jiang Yu said when he was talking on the phone in the car and nodded.

Inside the villa, the injury on Jiang Yu’s knee was re-sterilized and bandaged, and his left ankle was a little swollen, but it wasn’t serious and should heal in a few days.

Lin Cheng sent the aunt downstairs, closed the door of the room, sat on the edge of the bed and took Jiang Yu’s hand, and said, “Yu’er, let’s go back to the sea.

“Pei Yun acted so quickly, and it was still in the daytime.” They didn’t expect him to be so daring. This time Jiang Yu was the one who got rid of Pei Yun with good luck. As long as he thought that Jiang Yu could also suffer the same kind of abuse that Lu Qing did, he was horrified.

“But what about you and Naonao?” Naonao was pouting on the bed, playing with a small fluffy fox, and he casually grabbed the fox by the ears and dropped it, and the little fox fell under the bed. He crawled towards the end of the bed, but before he reached it, Jiang Yu picked up the little fox for him, picked him and put him towards the middle of the bed, and opened his mouth.

After Naonao went ashore, he became much livelier and more well-behaved, because the food he ate suited his appetite, and he didn’t cry like he used to. When he remembered that when he was at the bottom of the sea, he didn’t like eating raw fish and was always lying on his shoulder and crying with his little face flushed, he felt distressed.

And Lin Cheng, the fish balls in his stomach have only two months old. Even if he can go back to the sea now, he will have to come back soon. Sooner or later, they would have to face Pei Yun.

“Cheng Cheng.” Jiang Yu licked his lips and said, “Since Pei Yun is knocking at our door, let’s take revenge for Brother Qing.”

He originally only wanted to avoid Pei Yun, but Pei Yun wouldn’t let them go. Since that was the case, those injuries that Lu Qing had suffered, couldn’t be in vain.

The assistant looked up Pei Yun’s information one night and went to work the next morning. He brought it into the office to show Qin Shen.

“Pei Yun is the illegitimate child of the Pei family. His mother used to be a hostess at a club. After she knew that she became pregnant, she wanted to abort him, but she had aborted too many times before and was afraid that she would not be able to have any more kids, so she gave birth to him, and because she had been with too many men, she didn’t know who Pei Yun’s biological father was. Later, his mother went back to her hometown to find an honest man to marry and gave birth to a child. The family treated Pei Yun very badly. He was either beaten or scolded. Until Pei Yun was thirteen years old, the only heir of the Pei family died in a car accident, and the Pei family found Pei Yun back. A few years after Pei Yun went back, the family his mother married later had all kinds of accidents, someone had to cut off their legs or were blinded.”

The assistant took out a photo for Qin Shen to see, “This is Pei Yun’s lover, a man. I heard that he is in bad health and has been recuperating, so he rarely sees people.”

Qin Shen stared at the man in the photo. He was very young, with outstanding looks, and he looked familiar. He reached out and tapped on the table for a while, then opened the drawer and took out a photo. It was two months ago that he found that something was wrong with Jiang Yu.

The sick friend Jiang Yu was talking about turned out to be Pei Yun’s lover.

However, Qin Shen frowned, Jiang Yu explained the reason for his sudden departure was to help his friend snatch back the son born to Pei Yun, but his friend is a man, so how was he able to give birth to a child?

He waved his hand and let his assistant go out. He leaned back in his chair and pondered for a moment, and took out his phone and called Gu Yang.

Gu Yang didn’t go to the company today. He wanted to be with Lin Cheng, but he was driven out to the garden to take care of the child. He and Jiang Yu were locked up in the upstairs room. He didn’t know what they were discussing.

The weather was fine that day, and the sun was shining brightly. Gu Yang sat on a chair in the garden with his legs crossed. Jiang Naonao was moving around in his arms.  His little hands grabbed his hair for a while and tugged at the buttons of his shirt for another while. He took Jiang Naonao’s favorite little fox doll from the toys on the table and stuffed it into his arms, and the little guy was quiet.

Hearing the phone ringing, Gu Yang looked at the caller ID, raised his eyebrows to answer, and said in a singsong voice: “Yo, Mr. Qin. What wind is blowing today, you, a busy man, even remembered to call me?”

Jiang Naonao saw him take out the phone, and with one small hand grabbed the little fox’s ears, he extended the other small hand towards him, the mouth also babbling. He wanted Gu Yang to give him the phone to play with.

Qin Shen originally wanted to ask Gu Yang about Jiang Yu and Lin Cheng’s friend, but when he heard the child’s voice on the phone, his voice paused, and he asked, “Are you with a child? What, your son?”

“Bah, it’s your son.” Gu Yang avoided Jiang Naonao’s little hand, saw that the little one and Jiang Yu have a few similarities on the face, and suddenly gloatingly laughed, “Although not my son, but you know the father. It was only yesterday when you let people send him back.”

Qin Shen didn’t even think about it and snorted, “Jiang Yu? Just how old is he?”

“Don’t believe me? The little one looks exactly like Jiang Yu. I’ll send you a photo to see, and then you’ll know.” Gu Yang said and hung up the phone, took a picture of Jiang Naonao, and sent it to Qin Shen.

The little guy in the photo was white and tender, with round and big eyes, looking at the camera with a small mouth, smiling very beautifully. Qin Shen looked at the photo, and the original disdain gradually became suspicion. The little guy’s eyebrows did look a bit like Jiang Yu’s, and Gu Yang had no reason to lie to him.

Gu Yang sent another message; it was the little guy’s name: Jiang Naonao.

Qin Shen couldn’t sit still, got up and took his jacket, and hurried out of the office.

After playing in the garden for a while, Jiang Naonao got hungry, bit his thumb, and stuffed a toy into his mouth.

Gu Yang was speechless. Jiang Yu’s son is very well behaved, except for one thing, once he is hungry, no matter what is around, he grabs it and stuffs it in his mouth.

He carried the little one into the house, let the aunt brew milk, and put the bottle into the little one’s arms. When he came out, he saw a car parked outside the villa’s carved iron gate, and Qin Shen came down from the car.

“Tsk, President Qin is here so soon.” Gu Yang carried Jiang Naonao to the iron gate, opened the door for Qin Shen, and patted Jiang Naonao’s little butt, “Come on, call Uncle Qin.”

Jiang Naonao was drinking seriously while holding the bottle, so he ignored him.

Qin Shen frowned at Jiang Naonao, and hesitantly spoke, “…… He really Jiang Yu’s son?”

“Why would I lie to you for?” Gu Yang played with the little guy for a while and was about to die of boredom, so he shoved the little guy into Qin Shen’s arms, “Take a good look. Does he and Jiang Yu look alike?”

After speaking, he went back into the house to find Lin Cheng in a relaxed manner.

Qin Shen’s stiff body was holding Jiang Naonao. Jiang Naonao doesn’t like stiff people, so he moved around looking for a comfortable position, holding a bottle of milk to drink.

The little guy has a big appetite, and he drank a bottle of milk in a while. After drinking, he regained his energy. He grabbed Qin Shen’s clothes with his little hands and arched them back and forth in his arms.

Qin Shen had never held such a small child before. It was soft and glutinous as if it would break if touched. He was so tense that he didn’t dare to move. Seeing that Naonao was about to drop the empty bottle, he carefully reached out to Jiang Naonao’s arms to take it. Jiang Naonao noticed his shiny diamond cufflinks. He grabbed it with his little hand and gave him a big smile.

“Like it?” He didn’t know why but knowing that he was Jiang Yu’s child, Qin Shen’s heart instead of having a trace of irritation, became soft.

Jiang Yu rushed out of the house and saw such a scene, under the warm sunlight, Qin Shen looked down at Jiang Naonao in his arms, and the lines of his side face, which had always been cold and stern, actually carried a few points of softness.

Gu Yang’s eyes almost fell when he followed behind. Qin Shen was so gentle with this child that at first glance, he thought he was holding his own son. 

Noticing that someone came out, Qin Shen returned to his usual indifference, but he suddenly felt a warmth in his chest. He reached out and touched it in confusion, his face stiffened.
