Xiao Bao blinked his big eyes: "Godfather is great too."
Qin Yiheng: "Isn't it the best?"
Xiao Bao pursed his lips and leaned against Gu Yilou, clearly showing that his daddy was the best in his eyes.
Qin Yiheng deliberately asked again, "Can't both godfather and daddy be the best?"
Xiao Bao didn't know that the two people could stand side by side, and his brows furrowed like a caterpillar.
Gu Yilou looked at Qin Yiheng and came to his son's rescue, asking, "Have you eaten?"
The implication is, how come having food can't shut you up?
"Look how much your dad protects you, like the apple of his eye."
Qin Yiheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the little guy, saying, "You must be filial to your daddy from now on, understand?"
"Mmm!" Xiao Bao nodded emphatically and grinned.
A child's smile is the purest of all. Gu Yilou was infected by his smile, and his eyes were full of doting smiles as he looked at Xiao Bao.
"Alright, we're full, let's go home."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yiheng put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said, "Let's go."
The three left the Chinese restaurant and took a car home.
It was called home, but it was actually Gu Yilou's temporary residence.
That night, after Xiaobao finished his phone call with his grandma, he felt a little homesick. When he returned the phone to Gu Yilou, he asked, "Daddy, when are we going home?"
Gu Yilou looked up from the computer screen, took the phone, and said to him, "Xiao Bao, I have work to do right now. Can you go back to your room and sleep first?"
"Oh." Xiao Bao was a little disappointed, but he knew that his dad was very busy and that it was already very good that his dad could take the time to play with him for two days.
He watched Gu Yilou's fingers flying across the keyboard, a little confused. Had his father run into some trouble?
Immediately, Xiao Bao's sleepiness vanished. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Gu Yilou, asking, "Daddy, what's wrong?"
Gu Yilou tilted his head, patted his little head and said, "It's okay, we'll go home in another week."
Hearing this, Xiao Bao jumped up excitedly: "Really? I miss Grandpa and Grandma so much, I want to go home!"
Qin Yiheng was standing by the window making a phone call. Hearing his words, he turned around and asked, "Don't you miss anyone else?"
Xiao Bao's eyes lit up: "I miss my auntie!"
Gu Yilou couldn't help but smile: "Good girl, go to sleep."
Xiao Bao waved his little hand at them: "Okay, goodnight, Daddy! Goodnight, Godfather!"
"Good night!"
Gu Yilou watched him walk back to his room with tenderness.
After Xiao Bao left, Qin Yiheng walked back to the sofa area and sat down, his gaze falling on Gu Yilou: "Haven't you finished dealing with it yet?"
"It's almost done." Gu Yilou nodded in response. "We've been quite active abroad these past few months, which is why I arranged for someone to send him back to China. This time, his relatives came to see him, which is why he came here."
"You mean to say that the child doesn't know who his parents are?" Qin Yiheng asked, frowning.
"Yes." Gu Yilou nodded.
"That's very strange." A glint of light flashed in Qin Yiheng's narrowed eyes.
“Yes, I also feel something is strange about this. I will continue to investigate.” Gu Yilou shared his doubts.
"Okay." Qin Yiheng looked at him intently. "I'm entrusting this matter to you."
Gu Yilou met his gaze, then looked away as if trying to avoid him, changing the subject: "By the way, how's your collaborative project going?"
Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips, and said in a calm tone, "This collaborative project went smoothly. Although it didn't achieve the expected results, it was still quite good overall."
"That's good." Gu Yilou breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, right." Qin Yiheng looked at Gu Yilou, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
After a long silence, Gu Yilou couldn't help but look up and ask, "What's wrong?"
"I'm going back to China in a couple of days. I'll leave that matter to you, okay?" It's been so long, Qin Yiheng should be going back to China.
"What?"
Gu Yilou was caught off guard.
"What, you don't want me to go back to China? Then try to persuade me to stay."
I'll stay if you just say the word.
The last sentence was on the tip of Qin Yiheng's tongue, but he didn't say it.
Gu Yilou suddenly froze.
He originally planned to take Xiaobao back to China and then focus on the overseas market. In this way, Yunzhen could make great strides in the domestic market, and he would get what he wanted.
I just didn't expect that Aheng would also be returning to China.
Gu Yilou lowered his gaze slightly and said gently, "You must have your reasons for returning to China. Go back with peace of mind, I will handle things here."
Qin Yiheng felt a lump in his throat.
What kind of peace of mind does he have!
"By the way, are you okay with your funding?" Qin Yiheng asked with concern.
"You don't need to worry about funding," Gu Yilou said, indicating that he had no problem.
"Then let's leave it at that."
Qin Yiheng was speechless.
As if afraid that Gu Yilou would say something about giving someone else away, he suddenly stood up: "Alright, it's getting late, I'm going back to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow."
After saying that, Qin Yiheng picked up his coat and walked towards the door.
"Wait, I'll take you there."
Gu Yilou followed.
"No need, I'll just take a taxi back." Qin Yiheng waved his hand with his back to him and walked out of the apartment.
Gu Yilou watched Qin Yiheng's retreating figure, a bittersweet feeling appearing on his face.
Ah Heng must be blaming him, right?
They were like brothers who grew up together, and they knew each other's personalities best. They were never polite to each other, and he often stayed overnight at his place, while he did even more so.
But now, they've inexplicably become distant and overly polite.
Gu Yilou took a deep breath and ran after him.
Qin Yiheng took the elevator directly to the underground parking garage and saw a red Ferrari parked in front of him.
Qin Yiheng was stunned; he recognized the owner of the car.
"Hey, Heng-ge, are you going back?" The car window slowly rolled down, and a pretty little face appeared beside the window.
Qin Yiheng looked closely and realized that the girl sitting in the car was Sophie.
"What are you doing here?" Qin Yiheng asked.
"I came here specifically to pick you up!" Sophie joked, looking at him. "Brother Heng, don't you remember me?"
Qin Yiheng stared at her: "Of course I remember, but how did you end up here?"
Gu Yilou had only been here for less than a week.
The apartment was also rented temporarily by him.
How do outsiders know he's here?
A cold glint flashed in Qin Yiheng's eyes, as if Su Fei wouldn't be able to leave tonight without an explanation.
Sophie noticed and pouted, saying, "Well, it's nothing really. I was just passing by and thought I'd say hello. If you mind, I'll be going now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sophie stepped on the gas, and the car sped away.
Watching the car disappear quickly from sight, Qin Yiheng suddenly tensed up, turned around and hurriedly walked back to the elevator.
If they dare to lay a hand on Gu Yilou, then don't blame him for unleashing a massacre!
