Jiang Yu had paid no attention to him all night. After finishing his meal and resting, Jiang Yu hugged Jiang Naonao and went to the guest room without saying anything, shutting Qin Shen out.

Qin Shen sighed deeply after being thoroughly rejected. He looked up ways to coax his sick son and angry wife, and without exception, the answer is either kneeling on the keyboard or kneeling on the washboard. 

He carefully considered whether the idea was feasible. At home, clothes are washed using a washing machine, so there are no washboards. There are office laptops in the study, but the keyboard cannot be kneeled on.

Does he need to go out and buy a keyboard and a washboard? He frowned, deep in thought. 

In the dead of night, all the lights in the house were out. Jiang Naonao didn’t need the nanny to look after him tonight so she was already fast asleep downstairs. Qin Shen walked to the guest room door and lightly turned the doorknob, but it did not open.

The door had been locked from the inside. Qin Shen became increasingly guilty. Jiang Yu must be furious because he wouldn’t even let him in when he fell asleep.

Qin Shen quietly went to the study and returned after standing outside the door for a while. A key was inserted into the doorknob, and the door clicked open.

Fortunately, this is his home. Qin Shen smiled proudly. The room’s nightlight was turned on. He walked carefully to the side of the bed and leaned slightly. Jiang Yu was facing the little cub who was lying next to him sideways. They were sleeping soundly on the bed with a quilt over them. 

He opened the quilt on Jiang Yu’s side and quietly climbed into bed. He stretched out his arms to embrace his wife and son before closing his eyes contentedly.

 

When Jiang Yu woke up the next morning, he found someone behind him. A slender, powerful palm crossed himself and draped over the little one beside him. The sound of calm breathing sprayed on top of his head.

Jiang Yu’s lips twitched. He had been careless. This is Qin Shen’s house, even if the door is locked from the inside he……

 

 

still has the key. 

 

The little cub next to him opened his eyes and blinked his fine eyelashes. Jiang Yu curved his lips and smiled at him. The little boy squinted, opened his mouth cheerfully, and reached out to grab Jiang Yu’s hair.

Because Qin Shen’s palm was resting on the little cub’s back, when the cub moved, he awoke and lifted his head from behind Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, after realizing he was awake.

Qin Shen looked at the little boy and Jiang Yu beside him, remembering everything that had happened the day before, which was still a little surreal.

This is his son, his son with Jiang Yu.

When the little cub’s hand tugged hard on Jiang Yu’s hair, Qin Shen looked down at Jiang Yu, who was still sleeping, and pushed the little cub’s hand away. He rose gently, hugged the child, and skillfully changed his diaper.

 

Although there are nannies to take care of the little cub these days, Qin Shen has also done a lot of it himself. Take changing diapers as an example, and his proficiency is no less than that of nannies.

After changing his diapers, Qin Shen leaned against the headboard as he held Jiang Naonao, who sat and played on him. Jiang Naonao would fall on him as soon as he let go, then he would reach out to grab hold of him. After going back and forth like this several times, Jiang Naonao found it amusing and giggled happily.

Qin Shen turned to look at Jiang Yu who was lying next to him then raised his finger to his lips and gently shushed the little cub. He didn’t dare to wake his wife, for fear of being driven out of bed.

Jiang Naonao understood exactly what his father meant and immediately stopped making noise. But while his father was preoccupied, he broke free from his father’s grip and fell on his chest.

His father’s chest was stiff, and the blow to his little nose hurt a little. Jiang Naonao’s mouth flattened with resentment, his little hand pulled open his father’s loose pajamas, and “Ooooo” bit his father’s chest.

“Wait, I’ll get your milk,” Qin Shen said as he put the little cub back next to Jiang Yu then got out of bed and went downstairs to make milk for the little cub.

The little cub couldn’t trouble his father anymore, so he stretched out his claws towards his dad. He thought it was fun to bite someone’s chest just now, so he jumped into Jiang Yu’s arms, and his little hands pulled hard at the collar of Jiang Yu’s pajamas.

Jiang Yu suddenly came over, carrying no change of clothes. He was currently dressed in Qin Shen’s pajamas, which were far too big for him. Jiang Naonao yanked the neckline open, revealing a large area of white and delicate skin, which he eagerly bit on.

When Qin Shen entered the room with the prepared milk, he saw Jiang Yu leaning on the headboard with the little cub in his arms, head buried in his chest, chomping in delight.

Qin Shen was startled. Are mermans really that powerful? In addition to laying fish eggs, they can also feed …

 

Jiang Yu was struggling to get the little cub to let go when he noticed Qin Shen’s expression. His face darkened as he interrupted Qin Shen’s thoughts, “What are you doing standing foolishly at the door? Quickly bring the milk bottle over!”

When his wife yelled, Qin Shen quickly handed him the bottle, which Jiang Yu took to put in the little cub’s mouth. Smelling the fragrance of the milk, the little cub decided to let go of the small piece of soft flesh on his dad’s chest, quickly holding the bottle and happily drinking it up.

Jiang Yu lowered his head and rubbed his bitten red chest after laying the little cub on the bed. He caught sight of Qin Shen, who was watching his every move with bated breath. “What are you looking at?” he said fiercely, while pulling his collar.

Qin Shen licked his lips, stretched out his hand, and pulled open his pajamas to his chest. “I was bitten too, it hurts quite a bit.”

“… so what?” Jiang Yu fiercely glared at him. “You still want me to compensate you?”

Qin Shen really thought about it seriously, and said in a low voice, “I heard that saliva can relieve pain, why don’t you give it to me…”

He leaned over to Jiang Yu’s ear and whispered two words.

 

Jiang Yu:……

 

When Jiang Yu did not respond, Qin Shen’s gaze fell on the area exposed by his pajamas, he coughed lightly, and said shamelessly, “Then I’ll lick it for you…”

 

With a ”bang”, Qin Shen was driven out of the room, and the door closed in front of him.

Qin Shen touched the nose that was almost hit, and could only return to his room regretfully.

 

Qin Shen doesn’t want to go to the company. However, the matter of the will is over. He has to go to the company today and convene a meeting to all the staff above the management level.

After the meal, he was reluctant to leave the house, and sent several messages to Jiang Yu at the company. Jiang Yu ignored him, obviously still very angry.

He thought for a while before deciding to buy some gifts and go back to apologize to Jiang Yu. He called his assistant to come over through the intercom and asked, “What do you usually buy to coax your girlfriend when she’s angry?”

 

He has no idea what to send, so he should seek advice from an experienced person. 

 

Assistant: “… Mr. Qin, I don’t have a girlfriend.”

 

Oh, he forgot, his assistant is still a single dog.

“Ok, go get Secretary Sun.” Qin Shen said as he waved his hand to let him out.

 

Assistant: …why did he see a look of pity in his boss’s eyes? Is the world already so unfriendly to single dogs?

 

The meeting lasted all morning. After Qin Shen came out to explain a few words, he hurriedly left the company.

On his way back home, he stopped to buy flowers and gifts. Qin Shen went upstairs with the flowers and gifts he bought as soon as he arrived home. He searched several rooms, but Jiang Yu and Jiang Naonao were nowhere to be found.

“Sir are you looking for the little young master and Mr. Jiang? They went out earlier this morning.” the nanny said thoughtfully.

This morning, she noticed the young master exiting Mr. Jiang’s room. During breakfast, the young master gently wiped the milk froth from Mr. Jiang’s lips. The two appeared to have an unusual relationship. She’s seen plenty of wealthy people, and it’s not uncommon between two men.

Qin Shen listened, there was only one thought in his mind, his wife really took his son to run away from home!

 

In Gu Yang’s villa, Jiang Yu and Lin Cheng sat side by side on a bench in the garden to bask in the sun while Jiang Naonao was lying in a small cradle on the side, playing with a fluffy little fox toy.

Gu Yang sent Jiang Yu to the hospital yesterday and informed Lin Cheng of what he heard there. Later, he learned from Jiang Yu that Qin Shen used Jiang Naonao as bait to catch Lu Keying’s people, which made Jiang Naonao sick. “This father is really irresponsible, Yu’er don’t forgive him, please be angry with him for a few more days,” he said, extremely upset.

“You and Naonao should stay here with me for a few more days, make him come to you to apologize and make amends,” Lin Cheng suggested.

“Then I’m going to bother you and Gu Yang again?” Jiang Yu shook the cradle, a smile on his lips.

“I don’t mind.” Lin Cheng sincerely said as he held his hand. Yesterday, when Gu Yang found out Jiang Naonao was born to Jiang Yu and Qin Shen, he surrounded him like a big dog and asked him to give him a son as soon as he returned.

Later, he couldn’t take it anymore and told him that there were already fish eggs in his stomach. Gu Yang had heard that the father’s aura was beneficial to the birth of fish eggs, so he carried him into the room and was tossed and turned for the whole afternoon and night, making sure that his aura covered his entire body, inside and out.

If it weren’t for Jiang Yu, he would still be in bed, unable to get out.

Lin Cheng frowned as he looked at Jiang Naonao in the cradle, “Now that the Qin family knows Naonao is Qin Shen’s son, will Qin Shen’s grandpa take Naonao back to the Qin family?”

Jiang Yu was taken aback, if Lin Cheng hadn’t mentioned it, he wouldn’t have thought of this issue. Only Qin Shen was aware that Naonao was their child, and neither his grandfather nor mother knew of this. If Grandpa Qin wants to take Naonao to the Qin family, he won’t be able to stop them unless he reveals his identity.

Qin Shen embraced him completely, but what about his grandfather and mother? Will they accept him once he reveals his true identity?

 

“Otherwise…” Lin Cheng hesitated, “Don’t give the medicine to Grandpa Qin yet, if he woke up later, he’d find out about Naonao’s matters later as well.”

Knowing that Grandpa Qin was unconscious, Jiang Yu specifically requested that the patriarch grandpa bring some medicinal herbs from the deep sea and prepare them for Grandpa Qin.

Jiang Yu pressed his lips together. Before he could speak, the sound of brakes came from outside the villa. Qin Shen arrived and parked at the carved gate.

Gu Yang has been upstairs on the balcony looking at two people in the garden. Jiang Yu arrived in the morning with Jiang Naonao, one big and one small occupied his family’s Cheng Cheng all morning. He was about to call Qin Shen because he noticed they wanted to occupy the afternoon as well when he noticed the person himself approaching. He was ecstatic and dashed downstairs to open the gate.

“Here they are,” Gu Yang said as he walked to the garden, wrapped his arm around Lin Cheng’s shoulder, and enthusiastically asked Qin Shen, “Are you here to pick up Jiang Yu?”

Qin Shen nodded, bent down to pick up Jiang Naonao from the cradle, and extended his hand to Jiang Yu, saying, “Come, Let’s go home.”

Lin Cheng wanted to say something, but Gu Yang hugged him tightly and cut him off, saying, “Then we won’t send you guys off. Come back later to play ah.”

Lin Cheng looked at Gu Yang, and Jiang Yu couldn’t help but laugh next to him. He took Qin Shen’s hand and said to Lin Cheng, “Then I’ll go first.”

“Thank you for picking him up yesterday. I’ll invite you to dinner next time.” After thanking Gu Yang and Lin Cheng, Qin Shen walked to the gate with Jiang Naonao in one hand and Jiang Yu in the other.

When the car finally left, Lin Cheng stepped on Gu Yang fiercely and angrily said, “Were you driving Yu’er away just now?”

“Ouch, how dare I, he is much more important to you than me.” Gu Yang said sourly, and then continued, “Couples quarrel at the head of the bed and peace at the end of the bed, let’s not be light bulbs.” 

After that, he reached out and touched Lin Cheng’s belly and coaxed, “Don’t be angry, you’re pregnant with our son, I asked auntie to stew your favorite fish soup, it’s white and creamy, it smells good, let’s go in and drink.”

He hugged Lin Cheng and went into the villa.

In the car, Jiang Yu hugged Jiang Naonao and asked with a stern face, “Why are you here?”

“To bring you and our son back home,” Qin Shen said, pulling a box of beautifully wrapped chocolates from the side and handing it to him, saying, “A gift to make amends.”

Except for the food, Jiang Yu didn’t particularly like anything else. He knew that Jiang Yu loved fish and sweets such as chocolate. That’s why when he went home, he bought a box of chocolates.

Jiang Yu snorted and didn’t answer. Qin Shen stuffed the chocolate into Jiang Naonao’s arms, then held Jiang Yu’s hand, caressing his palm flatteringly, and said in a low voice, “Don’t be angry, there’s a large bouquet of flowers at the back for you, I know what I did was wrong, I will never do it again.”

Jiang Yu looked back and saw a bouquet of flowers in the back seat of the car. Actually, he wasn’t all that upset. “I’m not a girl,” he murmured softly.

Jiang Naonao held the chocolate his father had given him, curiously inspecting the delicate outer packaging, bowed his head, and bit it down.

“Naonao!” The chocolate packaging is very hard and if bitten, it will undoubtedly hit the roof of your mouth. Jiang Yu quickly snatched the chocolate from his son’s mouth. The little cub bit the empty air and looked up at his dad, upset.

“You, you! Why do you put everything in your mouth?” Jiang Yu said sternly, tapping his little nose with his fingers.

Qin Shen was also holding his forehead beside him, wondering why his son was like a little wolf dog, ready to bite at any moment. It’s not like him, so it should be like Jiang Yu. Were mermaids always this aggressive when they were young?

Jiang Naonao was reprimanded and sat obediently in Jiang Yu’s arms. Jiang Yu looked at the chocolate and couldn’t resist the temptation, so he opened it and ate one.

“Is it delicious?” Qin Shen asked Jiang Yu as he stopped over at a red light.

Jiang Yu nodded.

“I’ll try it too.” Qin Shen said.

Jiang Yu agreed and was about to take one out and feed it to him when Qin Shen unbuckled his seat belt and leaned over to him, his warm lips pressed up against his, and the tip of his tongue probed into Jiang Yu’s mouth.

Qin Shen had already retreated by the time Jiang Yu reacted. “It’s so sweet,” he remarked as he licked the corners of his lips.

Jiang Naonao was lying on his dad’s shoulder, sucking his thumb. His eyes blinked curiously as he stared at his Father and Daddy sticking together.

Jiang Yu noticed the little cub’s curious eyes, blushed, and glared at Qin Shen.

Qin Shen drove to the hospital instead of home.

Jiang Yu turned to face Qin Shen, who said, “I’ll take you and Naonao to see my grandpa.”

The doctor was still examining Qin Yunshan when they arrived at the ward. After the doctor finished, Qin Shen inquired, “How is my grandfather?”

“Mr. Qin is in a bad condition,” the doctor sighed, shaking his head, “If he doesn’t wake up again in half a month, I’m afraid he……will never wake up.”

After the doctor left, Qin Shen sat in front of the hospital bed, his eyes lowered as the corners of his lips tightened into a line.

Jiang Yu looked over at Qin Yunshan, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was still in good spirits when he last saw him, but he appeared much older and thinner now. His gaze returned to Qin Shen, whose head was lowered and not saying anything. He could tell that he was very sad.

Qin Shen drove in silence on the way back. Jiang Yu sat beside him, his hands clasped together, deep in thought. He was thinking about the medicinal herbs he had brought ashore, Jiang Naonao, and what Lin Cheng had said.

When they arrived downstairs at the residence, Qin Shen took the heavy little cub from his arms and led him upstairs. Qiao Xin was drinking coffee on the sofa in the living room when he opened the door and entered.

“Hey, I’m back.” Qiao Xin greeted them with a smile.

On the table were several bags of toys and items that the little one usually wears and plays with. Qin Shen swept his gaze across and asked, “Mom, what are you doing packing up Naonao’s things?”

“Isn’t it because of you?” Qiao Xin glared at him and continued, “The father of the baby is too untrustworthy, and he actually made him ill. I won’t let you take care of him, so I came over and cleaned up. I’m taking the baby to live with me. I’ll be taking care of him now that I’m a grandmother.”

 

Jiang Yu’s heart tightened and wanted to step forward but Qin Shen stretched out his hand and held his wrist.
