Chapter 30 He wanted to hug his child.

Chapter Thirty:

Ye Qingxi got Qin Cheng's hair, and while he wasn't looking, she took a tissue, wrapped the hair up, and put it in her pocket.

After arriving at the classroom, he carefully tucked the paper containing the hair into his book, then stuffed it into his bag, making sure it wouldn't get lost.

The next step is for Mu Shaowu to obtain his uncle's hair and send it, along with Qin Cheng's hair, to the testing center.

Ye Qingxi didn't rush to tell Mu Shaowu this as soon as he saw him after school in the afternoon. Instead, he waited until he got home, put down his schoolbag, changed into his pajamas, and then said, "Dad, I know who my brother's father is."

Mu Shaowu asked in confusion, "What brother's father?"

"It's Brother Qin Cheng."

Mu Shaowu: !!!

Mu Shaowu looked at Ye Qingxi. Something was wrong. He hadn't told Ye Qingxi that Qin Cheng wasn't his older brother's biological son.

The rest of their family members certainly wouldn't say such things to Ye Qingxi for no reason, so how did Ye Qingxi know?

“Baby,” Mu Shaowu squatted down in front of him, “why do you think your brother Qin Cheng’s father isn’t your uncle?”

Ye Qingxi: !!

Ye Qingxi then realized that he had been careless. He had been so busy reasoning that he forgot to consider things from Mu Shaowu's perspective. No one had ever told him about Qin Cheng's matter, so he shouldn't have known about it at all.

What should we do?

Ye Qingxi pretended not to understand what he meant and said, "It's my uncle!"

"Then why did you say you knew who your brother's father was? Didn't you know before?"

Ye Qingxi: ...

Ye Qingxi quickly put her mind to work and started to think outside the box.

He blinked. "Don't you guys know?"

Now Mu Shaowu was even more confused, "Why wouldn't we know?"

“Because…” Ye Qingxi looked at him, her eyelashes lowered, as if she was a little uneasy and scared, “Because, Grandpa told me before that I shouldn’t be afraid, and that he would take good care of me and be good to me.”

He said that your brother, who is also your uncle, doesn't have biological children, but he loves him very much, so you will love me very much too.

Ye Qingxi clutched the hem of her pajamas, her eyes slightly misty. "Did I say something wrong, Dad? Shouldn't I have said that?"

I'm sorry, Grandpa Ye, I really didn't mean it, but I really can't find a better reason.

Please forgive me this time, for the sake of saving your friend's son.

Ye Qingxi apologized to Ye Min in her heart.

Mu Shaowu couldn't tell he was acting, and immediately felt sorry for him.

Seriously!

What's wrong with him?!

I made the child cry once this morning, and now it's happening again!

That makes sense. Since it wasn't his family who said it, it must have been Ye Qingxi's grandfather who used Qin Cheng as an example to reassure him and make him feel at ease about being raised by him. He wanted to convince him that even if he wasn't his biological son, his future father would still love him.

The old man meant well; he wanted his grandson to know that his family was trustworthy and reliable.

But then...

“No, baby,” Mu Shaowu hugged him and coaxed him, “Daddy was wrong, Daddy was overthinking it. Daddy thought someone was saying something bad in your ear, that’s why I asked you. It’s not your fault, you did nothing wrong, don’t cry.”

He gently stroked Ye Qingxi's eyes. Ye Qingxi looked at him without saying a word, her eyes clear yet fragile.

Mu Shaowu picked him up, sat him on the edge of the bed, and let him sit on his lap.

"Don't worry, your grandfather is right. Although Xiao Cheng is not your uncle's son, your uncle loves him very much, and so do you. Although you are not my biological son, in my heart, you are my biological son, do you understand?"

Ye Qingxi nodded gently, then whispered, "Brother is my biological brother, brother isn't my biological brother."

Mu Shaowu was puzzled. Ye Qingxi had just said that he knew who his brother's father was, saying, "It's my uncle." Now he was saying that Qin Cheng was his biological son.

"Why do you say that, baby?" Mu Shaowu asked, puzzled.

Ye Qingxi counted on her fingers for him, "Brother doesn't eat ginger, and neither does Uncle. Brother looks very cold when he's not talking, and Uncle also looks very cold when he's not talking. Brother and Uncle's eyebrows and eyes look alike, so Brother is Uncle's."

Mu Shaowu laughed and said, "Is that all? I don't think your brother's eyebrows and eyes look like your uncle's."

“It’s just like it,” Ye Qingxi said. “It’s especially like it.”

Mu Shaowu patted his head and said, "Baby, your brother is not your uncle's child."

"Impossible." Ye Qingxi looked at him. "Otherwise, why didn't I refuse to eat ginger, and why didn't I seem cold-hearted?"

Mu Shaowu: ...

Mu Shaowu felt that his statement was incorrect, but it was also true. His brother had never been very talkative since he was a child and was very indifferent to people outside his family. Qin Cheng seemed to be the same way.

If we're talking about spending a lot of time together, they've only lived together for a year. Shouldn't Qin Cheng be more like his mother?

Moreover, neither of them eats ginger.

But that's impossible. How could his brother not know whether he did it or not?

Wait a minute, Mu Shaowu suddenly realized that although he and his brother talked about everything, there were some things they wouldn't say to each other. Given his brother's personality, if there were any romantic encounters, his brother definitely wouldn't tell him!

But is it possible?

Seeing his thoughtful expression, Ye Qingxi knew that her words had affected him.

He pressed his advantage, saying, "Dad, I have my brother's hair."

Mu Shaowu: ? ? ? !!!

Mu Shaowu looked down and heard his son say in a childish voice, "Daddy, go pluck a hair from Uncle's head, and then you can get that thing tested..."

He tilted his head, looking thoughtful. "NBA! Yes, NBA!"

Mu Shaowu: ...You mean DNA, right?

No, "How do you know all this?"

“It’s on TV!” Ye Qingxi said innocently. “The rich dad and rich grandma said that the female lead’s son was his son. The rich grandma said it was impossible. The dad said he had tested the NBA, and he was his son! Then the rich grandma still didn’t believe it. The dad said he personally took his and my hair to get tested.”

Ye Qingxi looked at him, feigning confusion, and asked, "Do we really have to bring a hair sample for testing? What if he has no hair and is bald? Wouldn't that mean we wouldn't know if he's really the father and son?"

Mu Shaowu: ...

Mu Shaowu had a headache. What on earth was his son watching on TV all day long?

Does he even know he's only five years old?

He should be watching "Boonie Bears" instead of "Temptation of a Rich Family"!

"Dad, I've seen you on TV!" Ye Qingxi said, her eyes sparkling. "You were so handsome on TV! And you even liked a pretty older sister~"

Mu Shaowu quickly covered his mouth.

So embarrassing!

Is there anything more shameful than your son watching a TV drama about your own romantic relationship?!

No!

Mu Shaowu simply couldn't bear to imagine that scene!

"You're not allowed to watch my TV anymore?"

"Why?" Ye Qingxi asked in a muffled voice as he covered her mouth.

"Because your age is too old to watch my TV."

Ye Qingxi blinked. "Why?"

Why do you ask so many questions?

Are you a walking encyclopedia of questions?

Mu Shaowu changed the subject, saying, "Let's go eat."

"Dad, you haven't agreed to my request yet." Ye Qingxi pulled down his hand that was covering his mouth.

Mu Shaowu didn't react for a moment, "Promise you what?"

"Go pull your uncle's hair and check his NBA credentials."

“…That’s DNA,” Mu Shaowu corrected.

"Oh," Ye Qingxi said, feigning seriousness, "Then let's do DNA testing."

"Let's talk about this later," Mu Shaowu said.

The main problem is that this is just too unreliable.

"It can't be later," Ye Qingxi said.

It's already bad enough that Qin Cheng and his father haven't seen each other for a year, let alone in the future!

“Grandpa didn’t wait to bring me home later, and Dad didn’t wait to be my father later, so it can’t be later.” Ye Qingxi looked at him, her eyes clear. “I didn’t wait, and my brother can’t wait either.”

Mu Shaowu: ...

Mu Shaowu advised him, "But what if you're wrong, and your brother isn't your uncle's child?"

"Isn't that the same as now? Now, everyone thinks my brother isn't my uncle's child, right?"

Mu Shaowu: !!!

Mu Shaowu suddenly felt enlightened!

yes!

Even if that's not the case, isn't that just the current situation?

What's there to be afraid of?!

He secretly took his brother's hair for testing as long as his brother didn't find out.

Even if that's not the case, he can dispel Ye Qingxi's thoughts and stop thinking about it.

Mu Shaowu looked down at his son and said, "You're such a genius baby!"

"I dare not accept such praise," Ye Qingxi thought to herself. "He's just an ordinary movie star."

After dinner, Mu Shaowu thought about what Ye Qingxi had said earlier and couldn't help but flip through the photo album on his phone.

Do they look alike?

He looked at a photo of his brother on his phone.

Believe it or not, I don't know if he was influenced by his son, but now that I look at it, it does seem a bit like him.

"It really looks like it," Ye Qingxi whispered, peeking out her head.

Mu Shaowu was almost scared by him.

He turned his head and looked at his son with a puzzled expression. "Weren't you reading a book?"

"I've finished reading it," Ye Qingxi said.

Mu Shaowu: ...You read it pretty fast.

"Dad, remember to go to Uncle's place to get your hair pulled tomorrow," Ye Qingxi reminded him. "Hurry up."

"Okay." Mu Shaowu looked at him and felt that he had a lot on his mind.

that is……

If Qin Cheng really is his brother's son, why doesn't his sister-in-law say so?

well.

The next morning, after dropping Ye Qingxi off, Mu Shaowu went straight to their company.

There was no other way; just before he entered the school, Ye Qingxi kept reminding him, "Dad, remember to go find Uncle to get your hair pulled today!"

What could he do? He could only go to his brother and pull his hair.

How do I pull out this hair?

Mu Shaowu thought for a long time before finally coming up with an idea.

Mu Zheng had just settled into his office when the door was pushed open.

He looked at his younger brother and asked curiously, "What brings you here today?"

Of course, it's just whispering in your nephew's ear!

"I just dropped Xiaoxi off at school. She's already awake, so I thought I'd drop by and see you. Have you eaten?"

"Um."

Mu Shaowu nodded, "I guessed so, that's why I didn't buy breakfast."

Mu Zheng: ...

Mu Zheng picked up the document and began to read it.

Mu Shaowu was not in a hurry to implement his plan—fearing that his purpose would be too obvious.

He sat on the sofa in Mu Zheng's office and started playing on his phone.

As he played, Mu Shaowu got sleepy and decided to take a nap in Mu Zheng's lounge.

Mu Zheng: ...

So his brother came to sleep in his lounge?

Mu Zheng sighed. Neither of his two younger brothers was easy to deal with.

Mu Shaowu slept for two hours before finally getting enough rest.

He stretched, opened the door, and reappeared in front of Mu Zheng.

This time, Mu Shaowu is planning to launch his operation.

He walked over to Mu Zheng and glanced at the document Mu Zheng was reading. "Have you been working a lot lately?"

"It's alright," Mu Zheng said indifferently.

"Really? I see you have gray hair."

As Mu Shaowu spoke, he reached out and touched Mu Zheng's head.

Mu Zheng tilted his head. "What are you doing?"

"I'll pull it out for you."

"There's no need," Mu Zheng said.

“No way. I’m an actress, and I’m very particular about my image. I can’t stand it.”

As Mu Shaowu spoke, he grabbed a strand of hair and pulled it out with a strong pull.

Mu Zheng: ...

"Emma, ​​I pulled the wrong one." Mu Shaowu said in a mocking tone, "It's all your fault. If you hadn't dodged in the first place, I would have pulled it off."

Mu Zheng: ...

Mu Zheng pointed to the door of his office and said, "Get out."

"That won't do, I was planning to have lunch with you," Mu Shaowu said. "When will you be better?"

Mu Zheng: ...

"About half an hour," Mu Zheng said helplessly.

Mu Shaowu nodded, "Okay, then I'll lie down for a while longer."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and went back to Mu Zheng's lounge.

Mu Shaowu only breathed a sigh of relief after entering the lounge and closing the door.

Honestly, he was so nervous.

He's been acting for so many years, but this is his first time doing a real-life exercise, and his co-star is his brother!

Mu Shaowu patted his chest. Thank goodness, thank goodness, thank goodness his acting skills were superb, which easily fooled his brother.

He said it himself: his acting skills are getting better and better.

Mu Shaowu took out a tissue, placed the hair he had just plucked on it, then folded it neatly and carefully put it away.

After lunch, Mu Shaowu said goodbye to Mu Zheng and, carrying Mu Zheng's hair and Qin Cheng's hair that Ye Qingxi had given him, headed straight for the testing agency.

He personally handed over the two strands of hair, instructing, "Be quick."

"Okay," the other party replied.

After doing all this, Mu Shaowu finally went home.

In the afternoon, after Ye Qingxi got out of school, Mu Shaowu picked him up. As soon as they got into the car, Ye Qingxi asked with concern, "Did you get Uncle's hair?"

Mu Shaowu: ...You really do care about this matter!

"Got it," Mu Shaowu said helplessly. "You haven't been thinking about this all day, have you?"

Ye Qingxi nodded, "This is a big deal."

Mu Shaowu smiled and said, "Your uncle and brother Qin Cheng would be very happy to know how much you care about them."

They would be even happier if they knew they were father and son!

"Did you send it for DNA testing?"

"Um."

When will we find out if my brother is my uncle's child?

"It should be ready in the next day or two." Mu Shaowu patted his little head. "I asked him to expedite it, so it shouldn't take long."

Ye Qingxi was finally relieved.

Great, in that case, as long as the test report comes out and is placed in front of his uncle, the rest will be solved naturally.

Ye Qingxi turned to look at Mu Shaowu. Not bad, so reliable.

Ye Qingxi silently gave him a thumbs up in her heart.

Sure enough, Mu Shaowu received a call from the testing center the next afternoon, saying that the test results were in.

Mu Shaowu quickly drove over.

He took the file bag from the other person, returned to his car, and then began to open it.

To be honest, Mu Shaowu didn't really take this matter too seriously.

Before marrying her elder brother, Qin Luan had already given birth to Qin Cheng and raised him to the age of six.

The outside world has always said that this is the child of someone she once loved.

It is said that Qin Luan wanted to marry the man, but he probably felt he was not good enough for her, so he left. Qin Luan then waited for him with her child.

Therefore, Mu Shaowu has always been quite understanding of his father's opposition to the marriage.

—What if Qin Cheng's father comes back? What should we do then?

Therefore, he never considered the possibility that his brother might be Qin Cheng's father.

Even now, Mu Shaowu thinks it's unlikely.

To put it bluntly, the reason he was willing to take this test was entirely for Ye Qingxi.

Ye Qingxi wanted him to do it. Ye Qingxi felt that her idea made sense. She even brought Qin Cheng's hair, eagerly waiting to verify her conclusion.

What can Mu Shaowu do?

Children are different from adults. Adults have received a complete education and have developed a certain sense of right and wrong and a worldview. Therefore, they can think and weigh things, and they will try their best not to waste time on things that are impossible.

But children are different. Once they've decided on something, they'll remember it forever. They'll want an answer, whether it's true or not, they'll want an answer.

Mu Shaowu was willing to give Ye Qingxi that answer.

Mu Shaowu opened the file bag. To be honest, although he had always felt that Qin Cheng could not possibly be his brother's child, Mu Shaowu was still a little nervous when he saw the result.

Then he saw the conclusion in black and white: the probability of a parent-child relationship was 99.999978%. Presumably to prevent the person receiving the test report from not understanding, there was a concluding sentence: "[Biological father]".

Mu Shaowu: !!!

Mu Shaowu: !!! ...

Mu Shaowu stared in shock at the A4 paper in front of him, almost unable to see through it.

What did it say?

He is the biological father!

In biology!

Father!

Mu Shaowu could hardly believe it; Qin Cheng really was his brother's son!

Wow!

If he hadn't personally plucked the hair and sent it for testing, Mu Shaowu would definitely have thought it was fake!

How could that be?!

How could his older brother have a seven-year-old child!

And it was his stepson!

This is so dramatic!

Mu Shaowu almost wished he could pluck two more strands of his older brother's and Qin Cheng's hair and send them for testing!

He sat in the car, unable to calm himself down for a long time.

Even as he went to pick up Ye Qingxi from school, Mu Shaowu's heart was still in turmoil.

Amidst this turbulent situation, when he saw Qin Luan at the school gate, he almost lost his composure.

No, sister-in-law, what are you really thinking?!

Why didn't you tell my brother about something so important?!

Ugh, what are you thinking?!

Mu Shaowu desperately wanted to shake her shoulders and get an explanation.

But he didn't; he held back.

He didn't even know that his older brother and sister-in-law had spent a night together eight years ago, so he certainly knew even less about the rest of their relationship.

Let his brother ask him.

Therefore, after seeing Ye Qingxi come out, Mu Shaowu picked her up, said goodbye to Qin Luan, and quickly got her into the car.

Seeing his hurried manner, Ye Qingxi guessed that the test results must have come out.

Sure enough, as soon as he got in the car, without him even having to ask, Mu Shaowu couldn't wait to share this shocking scoop with him!

"Xiao Xi, what you guessed was actually true! Qin Cheng is your uncle's son!"

Mu Shaowu was utterly shocked and desperately wanted to tell someone about it, but his only teammate right now was Ye Qingxi. So he kept talking, "Tell me, what's going on? How could Qin Cheng be my older brother's son? What was my sister-in-law thinking?"

Ye Qingxi: ...What else could it be? Of course, it's because the original author wanted to torture your older brother, the main villain.

After Mu Shaowu finished his reflection, he couldn't help but hug Ye Qingxi's head and kiss him on the forehead.

Ye Qingxi: !!

"Xiaoxi, you're so smart! You could figure that out! You're such a genius! You're amazing! Dad is so proud of you!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxi smiled slowly.

He also thought he was quite smart.

It hasn't been long at all, and he's already figured out the hidden plot!

but……

Ye Qingxi turned to look at Mu Shaowu. If it weren't for Mu Shaowu, this matter certainly wouldn't have been verified so quickly.

From this point of view, Ye Qingxi felt that Mu Shaowu was really good.

He is truly a wonderful father.

He wouldn't ignore his son, a five-year-old child, because the person he was talking to was his son, so he would dismiss the other person's words and treat them with disdain.

From beginning to end, Mu Shaowu respected him and was willing to listen to him.

For most parents, such a big deal as DNA testing would seem like a joke to them. They would ignore it, give it a perfunctory answer, or even laugh at it. If they persisted for too long, they might even get a lecture or criticism.

Ultimately, nothing came of it.

But Mu Shaowu actually went to get tested.

This certainly doesn't mean he believed his speculation.

Ye Qingxi could tell that Mu Shaowu didn't actually believe what he said.

He simply wanted to give him an answer, to satisfy his obsession, so that he wouldn't keep thinking about it and wouldn't suffer.

Thinking about this, Ye Qingxi suddenly realized that his new father seemed to really care about him.

He couldn't help but laugh, then turned his head away so that Mu Shaowu wouldn't notice.

"When are you going to tell my uncle about this?" Ye Qingxi asked, unable to contain her joy, as she urged him to hurry up.

"Tomorrow," Mu Shaowu pondered. "Your uncle is about to get off work now, and he'll have to face your aunt and brother when he gets back. I'm worried this will be too much of a shock for him, and he won't be able to stay calm in front of them right now. So I'm thinking of going to see him after I drop you off at school tomorrow morning. That way, he'll have a whole day to think things through, which will be better for both him and his family."

Ye Qingxi nodded, "That's true."

"Okay," he replied. "Dad, you're so smart!"

Mu Shaowu glanced down at him and laughed, "What's so smart about me? You're the real smart one! You're such a clever little devil! How can you be so smart! If it weren't for you, your uncle probably wouldn't know until someday that your brother is his child!"

Thinking of this, Mu Shaowu wished he could hug his son and kiss him again.

He was driving right now, otherwise he would have already picked up Ye Qingxi and started rubbing her cute little face!

He did good deeds and accumulated virtue throughout his life, so he truly deserves to have such a smart and adorable son!

True to his word, Mu Shaowu drove to the Mu Group early the next morning after dropping Ye Qingxi off at school.

When Mu Zheng saw him come again, he raised an eyebrow and said, "You've been very free lately."

Mu Shaowu looked at him, and the turmoil in his heart surged up again.

"You're so free, should I arrange some work for you?"

"No need," Mu Shaowu refused. "I came to see you today because it's important."

"Oh?" Mu Zhengming chuckled. "You have something important to do."

Mu Shaowu: ...

I hope you can smile in a little while.

Mu Shaowu walked up to him and handed him the file bag in his hand.

Mu Zheng reached out to take it, but found that Mu Shaowu was still holding on and hadn't let go.

"You must stay calm." Mu Shaowu gripped the file folder, staring into his eyes. "You absolutely must stay calm, and don't act impulsively."

Mu Zheng: ?

Mu Zheng asked, somewhat puzzled, "What is this?"

Mu Shaowu did not answer.

He let go of her hand, and Mu Zheng took it and opened it.

It was at this moment that Mu Shaowu finally answered him, "It's your and Xiao Cheng's paternity test report!"

Mu Zheng paused, looked up, and his expression instantly turned serious. "Mu Shaowu, what do you mean by this?!"

"See for yourself!" Mu Shaowu raised his chin.

For a moment, Mu Zheng felt a rare sense of panic.

Of course he knew that he and Qin Cheng were not biological father and son.

But Mu Shaowu, his own younger brother, why would he come to him at this time with a paternity test report proving that they are not biological father and son!

Fragmented images flashed through Mu Zheng's mind. Could it be...?

He lowered his head and, almost trembling, hurriedly took out the documents inside.

His heart was pounding, and his whole heart was clenching.

He eagerly flipped to the final test results and saw the text: the probability of paternity is 99.999978%, and he is the biological father.

He is Qin Cheng's biological father!

Qin Cheng is his son!

His son!

"What's going on?" Mu Zheng looked at Mu Shaowu, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock. "Why did you suddenly go and get the test reports for me and Xiao Cheng? What did you find out?"

"It wasn't me. What could I possibly find out? If I were going to find out, I would have found out long ago!" Mu Shaowu said, still somewhat helpless. "Whether it's you or me, we've both preconceived notions that Xiao Cheng is your sister-in-law's child with someone else, so we've never noticed. Do you and Xiao Cheng look alike? Is it possible that you are his father?"

Mu Zheng suddenly recalled the scene when Qin Yuan came to him to discuss cooperation.

At that time, Qin Yuan looked at him and said, "I have already reduced the profit margin to the lowest possible level. To be honest, I am almost losing money to cooperate with you on this deal. If you don't agree, I don't think you can find a more suitable person."

"So what?" he asked Qin Yuan at that time, "Why would you cooperate with me even if it means not making money? What are your conditions?"

"My condition is—you and my sister must marry."

Mu Zheng laughed almost instantly. He said, "President Qin, my marriage to your sister is not a political alliance."

"Given your family's status, you are not qualified to form a marriage alliance with me."

"I know." Qin Yuan did not back down. He looked directly at him and said calmly, "That's why I'm showing my sincerity, isn't it? Mr. Mu, your family's business is not related to technology, but the future development direction is already in this area. Mr. Mu, you also want to have a piece of this pie, right? As long as you agree, in the future, if the Mu family wants to develop related industries, I will give my full support and help you expand the market in this area."

“I only have one sister. If you marry her, we’ll be in the same boat. I will only help you and never harm you.”

He was puzzled at the time as to why Qin Yuan suddenly contacted him, suddenly wanted to cooperate with him, and suddenly proposed such conditions.

He simply thought that Qin Yuan wanted to use him to gain access to connections and resources, officially enter high society, and boost her family's influence.

In addition, Qin Yuan had indeed achieved results, and he liked Qin Luan, so he readily agreed.

In retrospect, he probably already knew back then.

"If you say it wasn't you, then who was it?"

"It's Xiaoxi." Mu Shaowu couldn't help but smile proudly as he spoke of his son. "Isn't he amazing!"

“On the day school started, I took him to have lunch with my sister-in-law and Xiao Cheng. At the table, I noticed that Xiao Cheng didn’t eat ginger, so I said, ‘You don’t eat ginger either.’ That evening, when we got back, Xiao Xi told me that he knew who his brother’s father was and that it was him. He said that both of you don’t like to talk, don’t eat ginger, and look alike.”

Mu Shaowu laughed, "You have no idea, this kid is so mischievous and clever. He even copied a hair from a TV series he watched and made a hair stick in the style of Xiao Cheng, telling me to get an NBA test, hahaha. He doesn't even know what DNA is, yet he wants me to get it tested."

"How could Xiao Xi say he knows who his brother's father is? Who told him that I'm not Xiao Cheng's father?"

"It was Uncle Ye. Uncle Ye's original intention was to make him accept me more, so he used you as an example. Don't blame him."

Mu Zheng certainly wouldn't blame Ye Min; in fact, he could understand her perfectly well.

He not only understood, but he was also grateful.

Thank you Ye Min for her unintentional act, and thank you Ye Qingxi for her quirky and clever nature.

If it weren't for the grandfather and grandson, he wouldn't even know that Qin Cheng was actually his son!

He and his son have actually been together for a year!

They were together day and night, but... he never knew that it was his son!

He never... hugged him.

Mu Zheng's heart ached uncontrollably.

He stood up, closed the laptop, and put the test results back into the file folder.

What are you doing?

"I'm going to see Qin Luan," Mu Zheng said.

"Then you must stay calm. Maybe your sister-in-law has her reasons. Don't do anything you'll regret."

"I know."

"Let me take you home," Mu Shaowu said, genuinely worried. "Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to drive in your current condition."

"Okay." Mu Zheng did not refuse.

He himself was afraid that his current condition was not conducive to driving.

Mu Zheng looked at the file folder in his hand. He actually... had a child?

His child with Qin Luan.

Qin Cheng.

Mu Zheng suddenly felt a strong urge to see Qin Cheng.

Meet his son.

His son is already so big.

So smart.

He always got the highest score in every exam.

When I first met him, I would politely say, "Hello, Uncle."

When attending his and Qin Luan's wedding, she would sensibly avoid it, saying: "Grandma said I'm not suitable to be there."

He still remembered when they went to take wedding photos. Qin Luan asked him if the child could also take a picture with them, and he agreed. Qin Luan smiled and pulled him over. Qin Cheng stood between him and Qin Luan, a little nervous, but he smiled faintly.

He remembered that he was reading in the study when Qin Cheng gently knocked on the door, came in, and asked him if he could borrow a book.

Mu Zheng remembers a lot.

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered that one day in the first half of the year, Qin Luan was busy with work and asked him to pick up Qin Cheng.

When he arrived, Qin Cheng was clearly surprised to see him.

After he got into the car, at a red light intersection, he suddenly said to his father, "Dad, I got a hundred on my quiz today."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at him, his eyes bright.

So he praised, "Little Cheng is really smart."

He didn't touch him, hug him, or kiss him.

He always subconsciously rejected these physical contacts.

But now that I think about it, the reason he suddenly said those things to him and looked at him expectantly might not have been for a compliment, but rather because he wanted him to pat his head.

It was like what a typical father and son would do.

He just wanted him to touch him.

"Shaowu," Mu Zheng said with difficulty, "Let's go to school first."

He said, "Let's go to school first."

He wanted to hug his child.
