Looking at Lin Lanxing leaving in a hurry, Shen Keqin asked Song Qinian doubtfully, "Sister-in-law, don't you think Lin Lanxing is acting strange today? She's usually arrogant and sarcastic towards you, and doesn't give me a good look either. Why does she look so disheveled today? Did something happen?"
Thinking of something, Shen Keqin's eyes widened, "Could it be that Shen Qiwen cheated, and she went to catch him in the act?"
Song Qinian sometimes felt that the people around her were quite magical, especially Miao Zi'ai and Shen Keqin, who always unknowingly approached the truth.
Song Qinian hooked her lips lightly, "Perhaps!"
"Right, right, you think so too, don't you? I knew it, didn't Shen Qiwen used to like Lin Qiutong? Why did he suddenly like Lin Lanxing? Hmph, if there isn't some trickery involved, I wouldn't believe it!"
Song Qinian didn't say anything more. She was just waiting to see how big a storm Lin Lanxing could stir up. She even hoped the storm would be bigger.
Shen Chiyan, having rare free time, took Song Qinian and Zann out. As a new father, he wanted to give his son the best things in the world.
Moreover, he hadn't been present for Zann's birth, nor was he by Zann's side when he needed a father the most. Therefore, he wanted to make up for these regrets.
Fortunately, he could be part of Zann's babbling and growth.
As soon as they arrived at the mall, Shen Chiyan waved his hand and said to Zann, "Son, go pick whatever you like, and Dad will buy it for you."
Facing Shen Chiyan's generosity, Song Qinian didn't say anything. She wouldn't stop him from expressing his fatherly love.
What followed was Zann pointing his little hand, Shen Chiyan saying "Buy," and Gao Kunlun quickly communicating with the store clerks.
Zann was easily satisfied. In a short while, he was playing with the toys in his hands and stopped shopping.
Shen Chiyan felt it wasn't enough. Therefore, as long as Zann's gaze lingered on something for more than three seconds, he would have someone wrap it up immediately.
After shopping, Shen Chiyan called Gong Yuqi and Yu Sinian. The first thing any man who becomes a father does is to show off to his brothers, and Shen Chiyan was no exception.
Gong Yuqi and Yu Sinian had their own affairs, but upon hearing about Zann, they pushed aside their current tasks and met up with Shen Chiyan.
The moment Gong Yuqi saw Zann, his heart melted. He excitedly hugged Zann and looked at Shen Chiyan in disbelief, "Is this really your son?"
Shen Chiyan glared coldly at Gong Yuqi, "Undoubtedly. Don't you see that my son and I look exactly alike?"
"Hmph, with such a cold face, how could you have such a cute and well-behaved son? Oh, Zann, let Uncle Gong give you a kiss."
As Gong Yuqi leaned in to kiss him, Zann's little head dodged to the side, clearly not liking strangers getting too close.
Shen Chiyan quickly took his son back, looking disgusted, "Go away, go find a woman to kiss, don't bother my son."
Gong Yuqi snorted, muttering, "What's so good about kissing women's lips..."
Although his voice was low, Shen Chiyan still heard it. Shen Chiyan frowned and said, "What did you say?"
At this moment, Yu Sinian, who was playing with Zann, suddenly spoke, "I heard you've been pursuing a male doctor recently?"
Shen Chiyan: "...Who?"
Yu Sinian raised his chin, his playful gaze falling on Gong Yuqi.
Song Qinian was also surprised. Wasn't Gong Yuqi rumored to be dating a female celebrity before? How did he start pursuing a male doctor?
The leap was really too big!
Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Gong Yuqi shrugged, not intending to hide it, "Yes, I've fallen for a male doctor."
Shen Chiyan found it difficult to accept his brother suddenly becoming gay, "What's going on with you? How could you... Didn't you like women?"
"When did I ever like women? I told you long ago that I'm a non-marriage advocate, but I didn't realize I liked men at first. It was only when I met him that I realized I'm not sexually frigid, but only like him and only have feelings for him."
In fact, there are all sorts of relationships in the world, and Shen Chiyan was not old-fashioned and couldn't accept it. It was just that this person suddenly became his good brother, and he still found it a bit hard to accept.
Gong Yuqi, rarely seeing Shen Chiyan with such a stunned expression, leaned in and fearlessly put his arm around Shen Chiyan's shoulder, "Ah Yan, actually, back in school, I..."
Before he could finish, Shen Chiyan felt a chill and pushed Gong Yuqi away fiercely. He rushed to Song Qinian and hugged her, as if only by holding Song Qinian could he dispel the feeling of revulsion.
Rarely getting a chance to tease Shen Chiyan, Gong Yuqi burst into laughter, in a good mood.
After fooling around for a while, Shen Chiyan frowned and asked, "Then what are your plans for the future? Don't forget, you are the only son of the Gong family. Your parents' desire to have grandchildren is even stronger than our old lady's desire to have great-grandchildren."
Hearing this, Gong Yuqi grinned, showing his pearly white teeth, "Don't we have Zann now? Zann is my godson, and a godson is also a son. I'll take him to my parents, and they'll surely be happy when they see him."
"Yuqi, this is a major life event. You need to think carefully."
Gong Yuqi smiled, "The first time I saw him, my soul was captivated. The second time I saw him, I knew I wanted him, clearer than I could be."
Seeing Gong Yuqi's resolve, Shen Chiyan didn't know what to say, so he glanced at Yu Sinian, implying for him to say something.
Gong Yuqi didn't live up to Shen Chiyan's expectations. He looked at Gong Yuqi and asked, "So, after chasing for so long, you still haven't won him over?"
When this was mentioned, Gong Yuqi became a little depressed. He suddenly remembered the person who was cold and aloof saying, "I don't like actors, especially actors who sing badly!"
Gong Yuqi: "..."
Not wanting to expose his own pain, Gong Yuqi immediately changed the subject, "Hey, what's going on with you guys? Today's protagonist is our precious Zann. Since I'm becoming a godfather, I have to act like one. The villa in Yujing Lake just opened. I'll call right now and book one for my godson."
Gong Yuqi was a man of action. As soon as he said it, he did it, and Zann instantly became a child who owned a villa.
Yu Sinian, not to be outdone, gave Zann the Buddhist beads he always carried, wishing Zann a lifetime of peace, health, and good luck.
These were the beads Yu Sinian had worn since birth, things that money couldn't buy. Shen Chiyan felt they were too precious and was about to refuse, but Yu Sinian smiled, "Accept it. Zann needs this more than I do."
Zann had almost lost his life when he was kidnapped by Shen Huanling before. These Buddhist beads could save his life.
