At this time, Jiang Ze, who was walking at the front of the team, turned around and glanced at Xie Qi who was not far behind.
When he saw that Xie Qi was safe and sound and had not been discovered, the big stone in his heart finally fell, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Jiang then subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the handbag in his hand. Through the gap in the handbag, he could vaguely see some eggshells placed inside.
Afterwards, the group successfully reunited with the personnel who had come to pick them up. Without much time for greeting, everyone hurriedly got into the car.
At this moment, Li Ci, who was sitting in the driver's seat, saw the three people get into the car. He stepped on the accelerator without hesitation and drove away quickly.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Shen Jinghua took off the mask on his face as if relieved, breathed a long sigh, and said with lingering fear: "It was really a close call! Fortunately, those guys didn't find us."
At the same time, Jiang Ze and Xie Qi, who were sitting in the back row, also took off their masks one after another.
While Li Ci skillfully controlled the steering wheel, he secretly glanced at Xie Qi sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
Although he already knew that Xie Qi was a mermaid, when he saw that face with his own eyes, he still couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
After a moment, Li Ci retracted his gaze and said, "I'll take you back to the Shen family first. Brother Shen has gone to pick up your father, and they should have arrived by now." After that, he stepped on the accelerator again, making the car speed forward at a faster speed.
Not long after, the car stopped steadily in front of the door, and Xie Qi got out of the car right behind Jiang Ze.
However, as soon as Xie Qi stepped into the Shen family's gate, he felt that he was being stared at by someone in the room.
Especially the look in the middle-aged man's eyes made him shudder. He subconsciously hid behind Jiang Ze, holding on to his arm tightly.
Jiang Ze noticed Xie Qi's discomfort, sighed, looked at Shen Yihao and said, "Uncle Shen, Xie Qi just came and is not familiar with the place yet. I will take him back to his room to rest first."
After Jiang Ze finished speaking, he took Xie Qi upstairs to his room.
However, when the people downstairs saw Xie Qi being brought into the house by Jiang Ze, they turned and looked at Shen Jinghua who was sitting leisurely on the sofa at this moment.
Yang Shanshan quickly walked over to her son, sat beside him, and asked with shining eyes, "Son, is he really a mermaid? He's so beautiful."
Hearing this, Shen Jinghua's mouth curled up high, and he said proudly: "That's right, my son is the cutest."
Yang Shanshan: "Your son? When did you have a son? You got someone pregnant?! Aren't you with Li Ci?! You cheated?!"
Shen Jinghua: “Am I that kind of person, your son?!”
At this time, Li Ci sighed helplessly, walked over, and helped Shen Jinghua explain: "Aunt, you misunderstood. The son he was talking about was that mermaid."
Yang Shanshan: "Mermaid?"
Chen Jinghua: "Yes! Li Ci and I are fine! And Jiang Ze and I watched the little mermaid hatch. We are his fathers, even when he grows up."
At this moment, Shen Yanhua, the eldest brother of the Shen family who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't suppress his inner doubts and asked, "Hey little brother, that mermaid looks taller than you. Is he willing to be your son?"
Facing his elder brother's questioning, Shen Jinghua couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but he still answered with a stiff upper lip: "Of course... of course I am willing! Is there any need to ask?"
Seeing this, Shen Yihao, Shen's father, also slowly walked over and said thoughtfully: "According to the book, those newly hatched animals often develop special feelings and dependence on the first person they see, and may even regard them as their biological parents."
When Shen Jinghua heard this, he felt as if he had been recognized and quickly agreed, "That's right! I must be the little mermaid's father, and you still don't believe me. Don't forget, I was the first one to pull this mermaid out of the eggshell!"
As soon as these words came out, the people present were all very surprised. You know, before this, they all witnessed that the mermaid seemed to be more intimate with Jiang Ze, but now Shen Jinghua insisted that he was the first to take the mermaid out of the eggshell.
After listening to his son's explanation, Shen Yihao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked Shen Jinghua expectantly: "In that case, good son, can you do your father a small favor?"
Shen Jinghua asked in confusion, "What are you busy with?"
Shen Yihao leaned close to Shen Jinghua's ear and whispered, "Hey, son, can you help daddy get some of that mermaid's hair? Daddy wants to study it carefully."
Although Shen Yihao opposed live experiments and even opposed using highly intelligent animals as research subjects, this was a mermaid, an irresistible existence for any researcher.
Chen Jinghua said casually, "The hair issue is very simple. He and Jiang Ze sleep together every day. Jiang Ze collects all the hair that falls off when he combs his hair. He can just go to Jiang Ze and get it."
Hearing this, Li Ci couldn't help but frown and asked suspiciously, "Are they sleeping together?"
Shen Jinghua looked indifferent and replied carelessly: "Of course not, I just sleep with Big Daddy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jinghua noticed that the four people sitting opposite him had an indescribable and rather complicated expression on their faces.
He was puzzled and asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you guys? What's with your expressions?"
At this time, Shen Yanhua couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Little brother, I think... maybe the mermaid doesn't even think of you as her father?"
Shen Jinghua yawned heartlessly, stood up and said, "How is that possible? He just prefers to be close to Big Daddy. I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go back to my room and rest for a while. I'm very tired after rushing back."
Li Ci, who was standing aside, tilted his head slightly, quickly scanning the others present, then nodded politely and said softly to his uncle, aunt, and eldest brother sitting on the sofa, "Uncle, aunt, eldest brother, I'll go upstairs and keep him company."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ci turned around and walked quickly towards the stairs.
Li Ci hurried upstairs, followed Shen Jinghua into the room, and then gently closed the door with his backhand, making a slight "click" sound.
