“Give me the baby.”  Qiao Xin said, reaching out her hand to Qin Shen.

“Mom, I can take care of him myself, I don’t need to bother you.” Qin Shen said while holding Jiang Naonao not moving.

Qiao Xin got upset by his answer and asked, “What if you make my lovely grandson sick again?” ”

“I won’t,” Qin Shen firmly stated, “there will never be a next time.”

He then directed the nanny to return Jiang Naonao’s belongings to their original place..

Qiao Xin was helpless because her son refused to let her. She couldn’t just forcefully take him, after all.  She was about to get angry when Qin Shen grabbed Jiang Yu’s wrist, drew him by his side and said “Mom, this is Jiang Yu.”

We’ve already met. You’re Miao Miao’s friend, and the two of you starred in his father’s film together,” Qiao Xin said before her gaze was drawn to Jiang Yu’s body. Her expression relaxed, she wasn’t surprised to see Qin Shen holding his hand.

“Come and sit,” Qiao Xin said, reaching out to invite him to sit on the sofa. “I haven’t seen you in a long time. What have you been up to lately?” she inquired.

A few months ago, Qin Shen suddenly became irritable and disheveled, frantically looking for someone. She asked Fang Miao what was going on and discovered that Qin Shen liked this child named Jiang Yu, but he suddenly disappeared. Although the child’s agent provided an official explanation, if even Qin Shen was unable to locate him, it could only be an excuse.

She doesn’t know what was so important that an artist who just debuted and on a rise would suddenly disappear from the circle. But based on Qin Shen’s unusual behavior at the time, she knew that her son must have really liked this child named Jiang Yu. She has spent a long time abroad and has no feudalistic ideas. Her son has been single for many years, and she has hoped that he will find someone he likes and who will accompany him. She is overjoyed now that he has found that person.

What’s more, this child is very attractive and well-behaved, she liked him from the moment they met.

He was Fang Miao’s friend the last time they met, but things are different this time. “There was something important going on in my hometown, so I went back.”

 

Given that he refused to elaborate, it must be a private matter. Qiao Xin didn’t ask any more questions and simply nodded thoughtfully. She grew fonder of Jiang Yu the more she looked at him. But when she saw Jiang Naonao in Qin Shen’s arm, Qiao Xin’s heart swelled with remorse. She took Jiang Yu’s hand in hers and apologized, “Ah Shen unexpectedly had an extra son. I was stunned at the time, and I’m sure you were as well. You wouldn’t mind, would you?”

“…I don’t mind,” Jiang Yu said after swallowing.

“That’s good.” Qiao Xin expressed her relief. “I was worried you’d be upset with Ah Shen.”

Qiao Xin stayed for a while before leaving since Qin Shen has already made up his mind not to let her take Jiang Naonao. “Won’t the baby bother you and Jiang Yu if he’s here?” she asked Qin Shen as she went downstairs. “he claims not to mind but he’s young, how could he like children? You’re usually preoccupied at work so how can you date him if you have to care for the baby after work? ”

“Mom, don’t worry about it. He likes the little cub very much, and I’ll handle my own business,” Qin Shen said as he opened the car door for Qiao Xin.

“Then don’t wrong other people, and deal with the baby’s mother as well. Don’t allow others to come knocking on your door just to bully him. He’s young and obedient, what if he is treated unjustly because he’s with you? You should take better care of him.” Qiao Xin admonished him before finally getting into the car.

“I know, drive carefully.” Qin Shen closed the door for her and returned inside after watching the car drive away.

Jiang Yu sat on the sofa absentmindedly playing with the little cub. When he saw Qin Shen return, he jumped to his feet and inquired, “What did your mother say? Does she still want to take Naonao away?”

 

“No,” Qin Shen said as he patted his shoulder, took his hand, bent down to pick up the little cub on the sofa, and walked upstairs.

After entering the room and placing the little cub on the bed, Qin Shen turned around and hugged Jiang Yu, solemnly saying, “I’m sorry.”

Jiang Yu leaned in his arms, his heart tightened as he heard him say, “For the time being, I can’t tell my mom or the others about your relationship with Naonao, but don’t worry, I won’t let them take Naonao away.”

His words miraculously calmed the restlessness he felt since he separated from Lin Cheng. Jiang Yu finally relaxed and rested his head against his chest for a while before asking, “What exactly did Auntie tell you downstairs?”

“She told me to look after you better,” Qin Shen said. “She mistook Naonao for my child with another woman and told me to deal with her so she wouldn’t come to bully you.”

Jiang Yu’s lips curled, and the caution that had just been raised against Qiao Xin vanished in an instant. Qin Shen’s mother and grandfather are both wonderful people.

Qin Shen refused to let Jiang Yu and Jiang Naonao return to the guestroom that night. As a result, all three of them slept in the master bedroom. Qin Shen ate breakfast before going to work the next day. After finishing his work in the afternoon, he messaged Jiang Yu to say he’d be back later before driving to the hospital.

Uncle Xiang was wiping Qin Yunshan’s arm with a hot towel when he entered the ward. “Young master,” he said as he saw Qin Shen walk in.

Qin Shen nodded, sat in the hospital bed, and carefully wiped his grandfather’s hand with the towel he took from Uncle Xiang. “How is  Grandpa doing today?  Are there any signs of waking up? ” he inquired.

Uncle Xiang sighed deeply, “No young master.”

 

“I’ve already requested someone to contact a neurological center in another country. Please prepare to go with grandpa in a couple of days,” Qin Shen said as he continued wiping Qin Yunshan’s hand and placed the towel back on the basin.

If there is no solution at home, go abroad. Nowadays, medical science is so advanced that there is always a way to wake up Grandpa.

A knock came from outside the ward, and Uncle Xiang went to open the door. When he came back, another sound of footsteps followed him. “Young Master, Jiang Yu is here to see you,” he said,

Qin Shen turned around to see Jiang Yu standing next to Uncle Xiang.

“Why are you here?” Qin Shen asked as he stood up and approached him.

Uncle Xiang poured tea before going outside to the living room.

“Your grandfather…..what are you going to do?” Jiang Yu asked, looking at the frail old man in the hospital bed.

“I’m going to send Grandpa abroad for treatment,” Qin Shen admitted, “and I’m afraid I won’t have time to take care of you and Naonao when I go there, so I can’t take you with me.”

Jiang Yu bit his lips, reached out to take  his arm and said, “I have a way.”

Qin Shen was surprised to see Jiang Yu take a box from the bag he was carrying and open it. A brown plant that resembled seaweed was inside the box. It was soft and flaccid, as if it had just been fished out of the water.

“I picked this in the sea,” Jiang Yu explained. ” I’m not sure what it’s called, but eating a leaf of this can help us recover from injuries. It is extremely powerful and can cure any disease. When I found out that your grandfather was unconscious, I begged the patriarch grandfather for a long time before he agreed to let me take one.”

Because it grows slowly, this plant is extremely valuable and rare. Some underwater animals enjoy eating it, so the clan must keep an eye on it. Also, the patriarch grandfather never let anyone take a lot. He was concerned that one leaf wouldn’t be enough because he didn’t know how serious grandpa Qin’s situation was, so he requested another.

Jiang Yu was afraid that Qin Shen would not believe him when he saw him staring at the box and not saying anything, so he quickly said, “Don’t look at it as seaweed, it’s not, it’s really a medicine that can cure diseases.”

“Give it to your grandfather to try, even if it doesn’t work, there is no harm, it can also make the body better,” he said hesitantly, hugging the box.

Qin Shen rubbed his head and asked directly, “How do you want to try it?”

Jiang Yu exhaled a sigh of relief and smiled, “It’s very simple, just eat it.”

“Oh, right, your grandfather can’t take it by himself.” He thought for a while before he walked to the table and poured a cup of hot water, grabbed a leaf of the plant and threw it into the water. The leaf quickly dissolved without a trace.

Jiang Yu picked up the cup and handed it to Qin Shen, “This plant will dissolve when it encounters high temperature. Just let your grandfather drink it.”

Qin Shen took the cup and waited for the water to cool down, then he sat by the bedside and carefully fed Qin Yunshan the water.

“Go wait for me downstairs, I’ll be there soon,” Qin Shen said as he put the cup down and wiped Qin Yunshan’s mouth with a handkerchief.

Jiang Yu nodded, gave him the box and went out.

Uncle Xiang closed the door of the war and came in, Qin Shen handed him the box and instructed, “This is the herb I asked someone to find. Take one leaf and put it into hot water. Once the leaf dissolves and the water cools down, feed it to Grandpa everyday.”

Uncle Xiang took a glance at it and asked skeptically, “What kind of herb is this? It looks like seaweed.”

“Precious medicinal herbs.” Qin Shen emphasized, “It’s very hard to find.”

Hearing him say it was hard to find, Uncle Xiang quickly put away his contempt. He took the box, kept it and said, “I will do as the young master instructed.”

Qin Shen thought for a moment and said, “Don’t pack up for the time being, the matter of sending grandpa abroad will be discussed in a few days,”

Uncle Xiang was stunned for a while before he replied, “Yes, young master.”

In the evening after dinner, Jiang Naonao was carried for a bath. He was stripped naked and then put into the water. The little cub fluttered away in the bathtub, sounds of the water splashing could be heard.

Jiang Yu sat next to the bathtub, reaching for the little cub to give him a bath while Qin Shen stood beside him, stroking his chin in thought.

The little cub was very naughty, fluttering in the water and constantly slipping away from Jiang Yu’s grasp. Qin Shen squatted down to help him grab the little one and asked, “Do you think the bathtub is a little too small?”

“Hmm?” Jiang Yu glanced at him as he washed the little cub’s tail.

Qin Shen said, “You and Naonao both like the water. This bathtub is too small to swim around. You need a swimming pool.”

Jiang Yu is touched. The bathtub is suitable for the little one but it was too small for him. There is a swimming pool on the second floor of  Gu Yang’s villa, however he and Cheng Cheng never swam there for fear of being found out.

Until the two of them finished showering and went to bed, Qin Shen was still thinking, the place where they currently lived doesn’t have a swimming pool. He needs to buy a villa with a large pool. It didn’t matter previously since he was alone, but now, he has Jiang Yu and the little cub. So he needs a bigger place.

Jiang Naonao fell asleep after he finished drinking his milk. He doesn’t move around when he’s asleep but as a precaution, the left side of the bed and on the ground were piled up cushions.  Jiang Yu sleeps on his right side while Qin Shen clings to Jiang Yu and sleeps on the far right side of the bed.

Jiang Yu pulled the quilt to cover the little cub, he felt the breathing of the person behind him and asked in a whisper, “Do you really believe that the herb I gave you can cure your grandfather?”

Qin Shen wrapped his arm around his waist, smelling the scent of shower gel on his. He said lazily, “Believe. You brought it, of course I will believe it.”

Although he didn’t know what kind of herb it was nor did he know exactly what effect it had. Jiang Yu brought it so he was willing to give it to his grandfather to try.

“What if it’s useless?” Jiang Yu asked worriedly.

“If it doesn’t work I’ll take grandpa abroad. I counted the seaweed, there aren’t many leaves, so it would last a few days. Moreover you said that it can make your health better, if Grandpa turns better, he might last for a few more days.“ Qin Shen kissed his hair and soothed him, “Don’t worry.”

“……I said it’s not seaweed.” Jiang Yu shrugged his elbow back, muttering in dissatisfaction.

“Okay, it’s not seaweed. ”Qin Shen held his hand, entangling them together and coaxed apologetically, “I was wrong.”

Jiang Yu moved, looked for a comfortable position in his arms, and closed his eyes contentedly.

The next day, as soon as Qin Shen arrived at the company, he instructed his assistant to look for a villa that has adequate privacy and most importantly – a large pool.

His assistant didn’t understand why he wanted a villa with a large pool when he doesn’t like swimming, but he didn’t question this order and accordingly followed through. He went down to check if there are suitable properties near the company.

 

The author has something to say: The big swimming pool will soon become a big … Hehehe guess
