Qin Tianyi and Zhan Lan, upon learning their old friend was coming to America, decided to tag along.
Their first reason was to check on their son's relationship with Grace. Zhan Lan had been feeling uneasy lately; her son was a troublemaker, always involved in peculiar situations.
Secondly, they felt obligated to show concern for Du Ruoxin's miscarriage.
However, seeing Feng Linwan's somber expression, it seemed he had family matters to attend to first.
After disembarking, Zhan Lan and her husband did not follow the group.
She called her son. "Beep, beep, beep…"
Qin Yunxi was asleep, or more accurately, engaged in morning activities with his new girlfriend.
Since that night, he had been spending his days with Gu Shinian.
He accompanied her shopping, to the movies, to concerts, and for outings.
Whatever Gu Shinian desired, whatever Gu Shinian liked, he had only one response: "Buy!"
He fully displayed the extravagance of a domineering CEO showering wealth to bring a smile to his beloved.
He liked her.
He was satisfied with her.
Not only was she beautiful and intelligent, but she also suited his taste.
This was what a woman should be like.
She knew how to be charming, how to coax, how to speak sweet words, how to evoke his protective and possessive instincts, and…
Many other things. Compared to the stiff and unfeeling Grace, Gu Shinian was a thousand times better!
To ensure Gu Shinian conceived quickly, he put in his best effort every day.
"Ah…"
"Mmm~~~"
Especially after a few days of guidance, she had learned how to please him in bed and cooperate with him.
Qin Yunxi found himself liking and becoming more infatuated with Gu Shinian.
With a powerful thrust, they both reached their peak.
Just then, Qin Yunxi's phone rang.
Seeing it was his mother, he adjusted his breathing, swiped to answer, and brought the phone to his ear. "Mom, why are you calling so early?"
Was there something?
Zhan Lan immediately asked, "Where are you?"
Qin Yunxi: "America."
Zhan Lan: "I know, but where in America? Which hotel?"
Qin Yunxi: "...j-k." No, why was his mother suddenly asking about his location? He felt a bit flustered, his heart beating faster for no reason.
A slender, delicate hand reached out and playfully caressed his chest.
His feet also moved restlessly.
Qin Yunxi's breathing grew heavier, nearly losing control.
Zhan Lan: "Are you with Grace? Let's meet for lunch."
Qin Yunxi: "…"
Hearing the name he didn't want to hear, the man's expression immediately soured.
Pushing Gu Shinian away, he got out of bed, his tone unconsciously deepening, "You and Dad are in America? When did you arrive? Do you need me to pick you up?"
Zhan Lan: "No need."
With that, she hung up.
Without any further preamble, she ended the call.
Qin Yunxi: "…"
He stared blankly at the phone screen, blinking.
Gu Shinian wrapped her arms around him from behind, her face pressed against his muscular back. "Uncle, are you angry?"
He was several years older than her.
She liked to call him Uncle.
It was an endearing nickname only she could use, hers alone.
Qin Yunxi clasped her smooth, milky hands and pulled her to face him. "No, I like you too much to be angry with you."
Gu Shinian pouted. "Then why did you push me away?"
Qin Yunxi didn't want to answer. He ran his fingers through her hair, said, "Don't overthink it," and then kissed her deeply.
Gu Shinian stood on her tiptoes, wrapping her arms around her beloved's neck.
However, in her heart, she couldn't help but silently ask—*Uncle, who is Grace? Why did your expression change when you heard her name?*
She had been close to the phone earlier and had heard everything his mother said.
But Gu Shinian lacked the courage to ask.
She didn't want to ask.
She didn't dare to ask.
As long as Uncle was hers now, that was enough.
Zhan Lan put away her phone, her bright eyes blinking. "Hiss~~~"
Qin Tianyi asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhan Lan looked at her husband with a puzzled gaze. "That's not right. Yunxi isn't up yet…"
At this hour, her son should be exercising, unless he was fooling around with a woman.
…Grace?
Wasn't it?
"No, I have to go to the j-k hotel to check!" Zhan Lan instructed the driver.
That little rascal had promised her he would pursue his future daughter-in-law properly, guaranteeing two grandchildren within a year, four within two years, and six within five years. How could he be fooling around with another woman again?
If she caught him red-handed, she'd skin him alive!
