Gu Qingyan glanced down at the Weibo page in Xu Zhaozhao's hand, which was completely blank.

"Go take a shower, you'll feel better soon."

Xu Zhaozhao nodded in agreement and returned Gu Qingyan's phone to him.

He glanced at Gu Yulin, who was clinging to Gu Qingyan, and instructed, "Then take good care of our son."

He picked up his phone and went into the master bedroom.

Once Xu Zhaozhao's figure disappeared, Gu Yulin felt less anxious, and her grip on Gu Qingyan's clothes loosened considerably.

Gu Qingyan didn't let go of him, but carried him back to his room, where a gift bag had already been placed beforehand.

He opened it and took a look; it was the Peter Pan toy he had always wanted, the one that could transform.

In that instant, Gu Yulin's eyes reddened as his emotions surged.

Gu Qingyan thought he was worried about what had just happened, so he squatted down and patted his head.

"Mom won't blame you, there's no need to cry."

He had just guided Xu Zhaozhao to say those things to put Gu Yulin at ease.

"dad……"

Gu Yulin felt that he was being really sentimental today. His arms unconsciously reached out to Gu Qingyan, and he snuggled into Gu Qingyan's embrace.

It turns out that Dad's embrace is just as warm as Mom's embrace...

Large tears fell onto Gu Qingyan's shoulder. "Thank you, Dad."

A gentle kiss landed on Gu Qingyan's cheek.

He was stunned.

Then, she turned her head and left a light kiss on Gu Yulin's face.

"It's what a father should do."

...

After watching Gu Yulin finish his shower and regain his composure, Gu Qingyan also went downstairs to take a shower before returning to the master bedroom.

Xu Zhaozhao had already finished showering, but her hair was still wet, and she was still relentlessly scrolling through Weibo on her phone.

"What's going on with Weibo today?"

Her brows and eyes were furrowed with impatience. "I can't get anything to load, and they don't even give me any announcements or anything."

When you most want to browse Weibo but can't, who understands your frustration?

Gu Qingyan walked over and snatched her phone away.

"Dry your hair before playing."

Since there was nothing to see anyway, Xu Zhaozhao let him be and leaned against him lazily.

He turned on the hairdryer, and the comfortable warm air gradually lightened her heavy hair, finally easing the restlessness in Xu Zhaozhao's eyes.

After drying his hands, Gu Qingyan had just pulled them away when Xu Zhaozhao grabbed them.

She pulled off his left hand, held it up to her eyes and examined it closely, her brows furrowing slightly.

My fingers traced a thin, long scar on the back of his hand.

"How did you get hurt?"

It had just scabbed over, and it still looked rather frightening.

"Isn't a business trip supposed to be for business negotiations? How could you get injured?"

Xu Zhaozhao looked up and scrutinized him.

No wonder he had his hands in his pockets when he entered and used his left hand to hug Gu Yulin; he was trying to hide this scar.

Gu Qingyan calmly put the hairdryer away before rubbing her head and explaining, "It was just a minor scuffle, a small injury. It'll be fine in a few days."

Xu Zhaozhao's brows were still furrowed.

Why would you stab your business partner in the back when you're doing business?

Ding-dong, ding-dong...

Suddenly, the phone that Xu Zhaozhao had put aside started vibrating incessantly, reminding her that she had received a message.

She let go of Gu Qingyan's hand, picked up her phone, and opened WeChat.

Yan Jie: Holy crap, are you going to make it official?!

Yan Jie: Xu Zhaozhao, have you successfully secured the position of the young mistress of the Gu family?

Sister Yan: How did you convince Gu Qingyan to make it official? Tell me in detail.

While I was still wondering about Sister Yan's news, other people's WeChat messages started coming in one after another.

Shishi: Sis, why did you suddenly have such a change of heart?

Shishi: I thought you and your brother-in-law were going to keep it a secret forever! [confused]

Xia Huai: Oh? Finally, you've given the Gu family a proper title? [Winking]

Xia Huai: [Transferring 88 yuan to you. Message: To make up for my gift money.]

Xu Zhaozhao at this moment: ? ?

what happened??

Suddenly, I can't understand this world anymore.

Xu Zhaozhao did not reply to their messages, looked at Gu Qingyan with a puzzled expression several times, and then switched to Weibo.

The Weibo page that I couldn't refresh seems to be working normally now.

Xu Zhaozhao clicked into the trending topics.

#Gu Qingyan's live stream: Yu Yu barges in and shouts "Dad!" [Explosive]#

#Turns out Yu Yu's dad is Gu Qingyan!! [Breaking News]#

#Xu Zhaozhao and Gu Qingyan have a four-year-old son [explosive]#

The three "explosion" characters were like three giant hammers, about to smash Xu Zhaozhao's fragile little heart.

My fingertips trembled as I clicked on the first trending topic.

Asagao must be hE: I knew they were real! Have you ever heard a fish call its father?! I went completely crazy when I heard it. [Video]

After watching the entire one minute and fifty-eight seconds, Xu Zhaozhao almost went crazy.

[Here are the questions: Is Gu Qingyan the biological father or the stepfather? Doesn't Sister Zhao have a boyfriend? What's Yu Yu's real name? [scratching head]]

It's definitely confirmed that Gu Qingyan is her biological father; Yu Yu looks so much like him. I just don't know if they're a couple or if there's some melodramatic romantic entanglement involved =-=||

[They probably had a relationship before, but now they're each doing their own thing (Gu Qingyan was so hurt that he became a Buddhist monk and stopped dating; Xu Zhaozhao keeps changing boyfriends)]

Looking at their recent TV dramas, movies, and variety shows, it's hard to judge them. It feels like the Best Actor award winner wants to become someone else's stepfather [sweat]

I still think they're a real couple... Aren't there plenty of secret marriages in the entertainment industry?

...

There is much speculation online.

I turned off the screen and tried to process the fact.

She exclaimed, "How could Weibo crash for almost an hour for no reason?!"

No wonder Gu Qingyan asked if she could forgive Yu Yu, no wonder her relatives and friends sent her their blessings...

What does it mean when Weibo crashes for a full hour?

There's absolutely no way to salvage the situation!

Xu Zhaozhao glared at Gu Qingyan several times, too angry to say a word. She got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and walked towards the door.

"Zhaozhao!"

Gu Qingyan chased after her, afraid that she would get angry and do something irrational.

Click.

Before Xu Zhaozhao could even open the door, the master bedroom door opened from the outside.

Gu Yulin's anxious little figure appeared at the door, "Mom, it's all my fault, please don't blame Dad..."

Upon opening the door, they discovered that the two hadn't actually started fighting...

Xu Zhaozhao stopped in her tracks when she saw Gu Yulin, a look of surprise on her face.

Gu Yulin was the most polite person. This time, he barged in without knocking and then squatted by the door.

This is because they're so afraid they'll start arguing and fighting...

Then she smiled helplessly and patted Yu Yu's head reassuringly, "Why blame you?"

Xu Zhaozhao slowly walked over, took Gu Yulin's hand, and walked outside, saying, "Come on, let's go get our marriage certificate with Mom."
