"Is this your biological mother?"
Pei Shen pointed at his phone in astonishment and asked.
In the video, Jiang Ying, a well-known actress in the entertainment industry, is wearing a black sequined strapless evening gown with slightly curly hair. She waves and smiles at the camera, looking dignified and beautiful.
Qi Sen kept his head down while cutting vegetables without changing his posture, not even raising his eyelids.
"I didn't expect the son of our city's richest man to be right next to me." Pei Shen said with a click of his tongue, his hand naturally resting on the counter next to Qi Sen, and said in a friendly tone: "Then you must remember to stay with us when you become rich and powerful."
Qi Sen still didn't react.
If it were the previous Pei Shen, he would have rolled his eyes and walked away because of this expressionless and arrogant behavior, but under the filter of money, the more he looked at Qi Sen, the more he saw the cold and aloof temperament of a future domineering CEO.
How can you be cool if you don’t answer him?
He clearly has the temperament of a noble CEO in a novel.
Qi Sen felt a headache when he looked at him, and said calmly: "Go to the living room and take care of Cancan."
Pei Shen nodded and turned to leave, but then he thought of something and turned back to ask, "You should take Cancan with you to see the movie queen, right? Then the little princess can wear her new dress to meet your parents tomorrow."
Qi Sen answered quickly this time: "No, Cancan won't go."
"Hmm? Not going?"
"Haven't you taken Cancan with you wherever you go these past few days? Why aren't you taking her with you tomorrow?"
"You're not really planning to abandon..."
Qi Sen frowned slightly and interrupted Pei Shen's chattering.
"Cancan is my younger sister." Qi Sen looked at him and said seriously, "You are also my younger brother."
After sending Pei Shen lipstick and chicken soup yesterday, his initial reaction was so infuriating that I wanted to punch him. On the surface, Pei Shen didn't show any joy or affection, but his actual actions proved his happiness.
She stayed with them the whole day and refused to leave. She was either helping him take care of Cancan or playing house games with Cancan that were so boring that even a dog wouldn't want to play.
Qi Sen had become numb and tired of this game of playing house, including being sick, getting injections, being hungry, being sleepy, and having to eat over and over again. Pei Shen's arrival happened to save him from the dire situation.
No matter how sweet Cancan's baby voice was, he couldn't play house with her where he felt sleepy five times a day, hungry eight times a day, and ate ham, eggs, and corn fried rice for every meal.
At noon, Pei Shen and Cancan had a lot of fun playing together. There were more laughter and joy in the house than usual. Qi Sen didn't show it on the surface, but he was happier than ever in his heart.
This is the warm little family of his dreams.
The family doesn't need to be wealthy, as long as the whole family can sit together on the carpet and talk, and laugh together because of something.
This home now does that.
This peaceful life made Qi Sen unconsciously start to treat Pei Shen as his own brother, and include him in the dream blueprint of a warm family.
If he took Cancan to meet his parents tomorrow and left Pei Shen alone at home, it would be too exclusive.
Qi Sen came back to his senses and nodded towards the living room: "Cancan is calling you to eat."
"Third brother, Cancan made delicious chicken soup for you, go and drink it." Cancan came jogging over at some point, stretched out her soft little hand, grabbed Pei Shen's hand, and led him towards the living room with force.
"Cancan took a long time to make this. Let's eat it quickly, otherwise it will get cold." Cancan said seriously.
Pei Shen was shocked by Qi Sen's words about his younger brother and finally reacted.
After a long while, he said "Oh" blankly, and turned around to start a new round of "hungry and sleepy" house-playing game.
**
The next day, it was time to keep the appointment.
Cancan's face wrinkled into a small bun. Standing in front of the sofa, holding the fairy peach, she said aggrievedly, "Second brother, aren't you going with Cancan? Cancan really doesn't want to be alone at home."
Qi Sen ruffled her hair and said, "Third brother is very scared at home alone. Didn't our brave Cancan promise Second Brother to protect Third Brother?"
Cancan finally remembered and scratched her nose blankly, "Okay. Then I'll stay home to protect Third Brother."
Cancan was still a little unhappy that she couldn't accompany her second brother to see the gold, silver and jewelry daddy and mom. With her little face raised, she looked at Pei Shen and asked angrily, "Third brother, aren't you an adult? Why are you scared when you're alone at home? You really make me worry!"
Pei Shen:...
The last time someone said that someone was afraid to speak out, it was Cancan, and it was also Cancan who would come to protect him. Why is it that now he uses this to coax Cancan not to go out, and instead teaches him a lesson!
Pei Shen couldn't help but tap Cancan's forehead, which made her puff out her mouth like an angry little pufferfish before she stopped.
Qi Sen showed Pei Shen Cancan's daily toys, the special quilt for drinking water, and the children's plastic toilet.
Pei Shen was surprised for a moment.
It's only been a few days, and the child's things are all available. Qi Sen cares about Cancan more than he does.
He is here to entertain the baby, but Qi Sen is the one who is really raising the baby.
Also, what the hell is a sweat towel?
"Cancan likes to sweat and run around. If she sweats, you should put a sweat towel behind her back to prevent her from catching a cold." Qi Sen said carefully.
Pei Shen nodded and couldn't help but give Qi Sen a thumbs up.
"That's amazing! In just a few days, she's become an encyclopedia of parenting."
Qi Sen ignored Pei Shen's teasing, bent down and tapped Cancan's pouting lips, and said with a smile, "Don't be angry. Second brother will buy you an Aisha puzzle later."
Cancan smiled brightly, her voice sweet as a baby: "Brother, please come back soon. Cancan misses you so much."
"good."
Cancan followed Qi Sen closely for two steps, and only stopped when he reached the corridor, and waved to Qi Sen obediently.
When Qi Sen waved goodbye and was about to leave, he heard a soft baby voice coming from him.
"Second brother, Cancan's father and mother are the best in the world. When you meet the father and mother of gold, silver and jewelry, don't dislike the previous father and mother."
Qi Sen was stunned for a few seconds, then said softly, "No."
He will never forget the emperor, empress, and parents that Cancan mentioned, nor will he forget the reason for this tribulation.
His tribulation of ascending to immortality was different from Cancan's.
Cancan said that when he was a god, he never went home and only cared about enjoying the glory and wealth in the ninth heaven.
Qi Sen pursed his lips and shook his head in self-mockery.
Because he abandoned his family, was he punished by being beaten by his adoptive parents and suffering from his relatives for the rest of his life?
In the private room of Haida Hotel, Qi Sen sat with his back straight, staring at the two people he could only see on TV in a trance.
The staff at Haida Hotel today are much more active than usual.
When the person who came to serve the food saw Jiang Ying and Qi Xiuming, he couldn't contain the excitement in his eyes.
Jiang Ying's personal assistant stepped forward and politely declined the staff's request for an autograph with a smile. After all the dishes were served, the assistants politely nodded to their boss and slowly left.
Qi Sen was slightly stunned when he saw this scene.
There were only three of them left in the huge box.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Ying put down his phone and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I've been too busy with work lately."
Qi Xiuming got to the point and asked directly, "When are we going to do the paternity test?"
Jiang Ying smiled and shook her head at Qi Xiuming, as if blaming him for being so direct.
Turning around, he explained with a smile, "Our son was kidnapped when he was two years old due to the nanny's negligence. We've been looking for him all these years. After hearing your news, your father and I asked someone to look up some information about you. The ages match, and the photos of you as a child look exactly like our son. We've been searching for so long, your father must be too anxious, so he asked you when you'd like to do a paternity test."
"You know our family situation. A paternity test can help avoid any misunderstandings in the future."
Jiang Ying's voice was gentle and soft, and sounded very comfortable.
But when Qi Sen listened, he always felt something strange.
alienation.
Alienation in discourse.
All actions after finding him were too rational and cold. I asked someone to check his information and even found his childhood photos.
Qi Sen felt like a fish that had been exposed and thrown on the ground to dry, struggling and rolling under the scorching sun.
Jiang Ying asked softly, "Would you be willing to do a paternity test tomorrow?"
"Can I take half a day off? Things like this are best done as early as possible. I know you value studying, but taking half a day off shouldn't be a big deal."
Qi Sen frowned suddenly.
That information is too detailed.
People who have never met him can know how serious he is about studying, just like his adoptive mother.
Qi Sen shifted uncomfortably, then said after a long moment, "Okay."
Qi Xiuming's eyes lit up with smiles. He patted Jiang Ying's hand and asked, "You seem to have a little girl?"
Jiang Ying subconsciously held his hand, shook his head almost imperceptibly, and continued, "I heard her name is Cancan? She's a very cute little girl."
Jiang Ying smiled awkwardly, her voice soft, "If you're sure it's our child, you need to move out of that house. As for Cancan, I'll have her adopted by a well-off family and give her a good education and environment to grow up in."
Qi Sen's face darkened. He looked at them expressionlessly and said calmly, "My sister wants to be with me. I hope you will be the ones to adopt her. She is my sister, and there is also..."
Before Pei Shen could even utter his name, Qi Xiuming quickly interrupted him, his voice commanding without anger:
"That won't work. You are our only child. Your mother and I don't need to care about the lives of others."
After all, without living together, there is less affection than in ordinary families.
Qi Xiuming, who puts profit above all else, rejected Qi Sen's request without hesitation and analyzed the pros and cons rationally.
"Your life isn't good right now. You just escaped the control of your adoptive parents and live in a shabby little house. The next six months are for the crucial college entrance exam, but you can barely support yourself, let alone a child?" Qi Xiuming pursed his lips, his tone stiff. "If you come back, not only will the child you found be adopted by a wealthy family, you won't have to tutor anymore. Even if you don't do well on the college entrance exam, it won't be a big deal. I can send you abroad. I'll give you everything you want."
Qi Sen clenched his fists unconsciously.
Qi Xiuming spoke in a firm tone, as if he was in a company meeting, and would not tolerate any disagreement with him.
He stood up and said coldly, "There's no need to go to the paternity test tomorrow. Goodbye."
When he opened the door of the box room, he vaguely heard Qi Xiuming's whispered condemnation and Jiang Ying's words of comfort.
"Look at this kid, so stubborn."
"Forget it, I'll tell him next time."
He shook his head and walked out of the box resolutely.
If you don't accept Cancan and Pei Shen, there will never be a next time.
There was a constant stream of cars on the road outside the hotel.
People come and go.
It was a little chilly in autumn, and the gentle breeze blew Qi Sen's short hair.
He looked at the boundless sky, thought of the Nine Heavens that Cancan mentioned, and laughed out loud.
Although he was smiling, there was no trace of laughter in his eyes.
Is this the beginning of the punishment for being greedy for fame and fortune and not caring about family affairs?
It seems that he has suffered countless punishments in the face of family affection in his life.
Qi Sen laughed at himself.
When I went home, I didn’t forget to bring Cancan her favorite Aisha puzzle.
**
As soon as he got home, Pei Shen came to check on him with a look of despair on his face. When he saw him, he begged for help like a grandfather and a grandmother: "Let's take Cancan to the playground."
After he finished speaking, fearing that Qi Sen would disagree, he flatteringly called out, "Brother~"
During the two hours that Qi Sen was away, Pei Shen watched TV with Cancan.
Seeing the castle-like Disneyland on TV, Cancan shook Pei Shen's hand and started to act coquettishly in a baby voice.
Pei Shen shut her up with the excuse that "as long as Cancan is quiet for two hours, I will take her to the playground."
Children are lively and active. It is impossible for a normal child to not speak for two hours.
But Cancan..did it.
Because she...fell asleep!!
Pei Shen was numb.
He couldn't go back on his word to the kid, otherwise what if Cancan also learns to break his promise in the future?
In Wuyue Plaza, Pei Shen looked at his wallet with pain.
Oh.
Neither he nor Qi Sen could afford to go to Disney, so they had to trick the little princess into going to the small amusement park in the department store.
98 at a time, Cancan had no idea that she had been cheated. She thought this was the castle and ran around happily.
There are all kinds of toys inside, such as slides, autumn rivers, balloons, etc.
Qi Sen and Pei Shen stood outside the fence, among a group of adults who were talking and laughing among themselves. They took out a test paper at the same time in tacit understanding and looked at Cancan a few times as she solved a question.
The other adults were shocked: "Huh? High school students these days are so hardworking?! Too crazy!"
Qi Sen glanced at Cancan who was laughing in the amusement park, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
He patted Pei Shen's shoulder and said calmly, "I'll go buy a few bottles of water."
Pei Shen said "oh".
I didn't dare ask him about his visit to the restaurant.
Next to the vending machine is a toy store selling dolls. In the window, a cute little pink dragon is sleeping quietly on a tree trunk. It looks very cute.
Qi Sen remembered Cancan's words that she was the little princess of the dragon clan. The smile in his eyes deepened, and he stood there hesitantly looking for a while.
He entered the store, picked up the little pink dragon and looked at it for a long time. When he was hesitating whether to buy it, a hand suddenly came across and snatched the toy from his hand.
Gu Chi glanced at Qi Sen lazily and shrugged, "Brother, I'll take this toy."
Qi Sen took a few steps forward to block in front of him. Looking at that face, he felt inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. Without thinking too much, he picked up the little pink dragon's tail and said lightly, "I saw it first."
The two people were arguing.
Gu Chi rolled his eyes.
He has been bullying others for a long time relying on his reputation as the son of the richest man in the country, and no one has ever resisted him. But today, someone comes who is so tactless.
"Qi Sen, didn't you go buy some water?" Pei Shen, who hadn't waited for Qi Sen for a long time, came to find him with Cancan.
Pei Shen was shocked when he saw Gu Chi.
Cancan, who was sweating and had a rosy face from playing, first called out "Second Brother" in a baby voice, then looked in the direction of Qi Sen and her little body shook twice.
The two people spoke at the same time:
"What the hell! The son of the richest man?"
"Dad!! Dad!!!"
Gu Chi:?
It’s just buying a little pink dragon. Is there anyone who recognizes it as their father these days?
Qi Sen's expression froze.
This college student who looks one or two years older than him is his...father?
