Guan Jin looked at Song Yunxiu’s smug expression and instinctively asked, "Have you seen the child?"
Song Yunxiu, who was secretly feeling pleased, squinted his eyes and looked at Guan Jin dangerously, his gaze sharp enough to turn Guan Jin into a sieve!
Really hitting where it hurts! Song Yunxiu thought bitterly. How could he possibly have seen the child? He didn’t even know if the child was a boy or a girl!
But just then, he suddenly rembered sothing! Back then, when he had invited Tang Yiyi to go hunting outside the city, she had ntioned she was busy in the afternoon and could only spare the morning! Although he didn’t understand at the ti, he was afraid of annoying Tang Yiyi, so he had to compromise.
Later on, as he grew more and more fond of Tang Yiyi, he beca increasingly dissatisfied with her need to return every afternoon. So, on a few occasions when Tang Yiyi was in a good mood, he brought it up, but each ti she refused. He didn’t want to lose such a talented individual like Tang Yiyi, so he had to stew in silence.
Thinking back now, could it be that she insisted on returning ho in the afternoon to be with the child?
The more Song Yunxiu thought about it, the more he felt this guess was right. After all, besides their child, who else could warrant her setting aside half a day to spend ti with?
As he was thinking this, he heard Guan Jin cautiously ask, "Boss, don’t tell you haven’t seen the child yet?"
Song Yunxiu gave him a warning look, intending to brush off the question, but found it difficult to answer. If he said he had seen the child, Guan Jin would surely ask questions about the gender, appearance, and even ask for photos! But if he told the truth, admitting he hadn’t seen the child, wouldn’t that be slapping himself in the face?
So Song Yunxiu thought for a mont and said inscrutably, "That’s not your concern. Continue investigating Tang Yiyi’s case, including all the information on her adoptive parents. I need to see it when I return!"
After saying this, he turned and left. Guan Jin scratched his nose, speculating that Song Yunxiu had gone far enough, and then resentfully said, "What’s with the attitude? He definitely hasn’t seen the child!"
He muttered as he ground his teeth, feeling more frustrated at the thought that not only wasn’t Song Yunxiu’s child dead, but Tang Yiyi had also beco a Second Level Superpower User! How fortunate Song Yunxiu was!
The more Guan Jin thought about it, the more indignant he beca. When they returned last ti, both his mother and Song Yunxiu’s mother were urging them to find partners! Because his mom kept ntioning it, he felt sowhat tempted and had secretly asked Song Yunxiu’s plans. Yet what did Song Yunxiu say at the ti? He righteously scolded him for his lack of ambition! He preached that a real man should pursue a career before starting a family!
And now? He didn’t even have the shadow of a wife, while Song Yunxiu had both a wife and a child!
This is the good brother he grew up with!
No way! He couldn’t let Song Yunxiu off easily! He wanted to tell on him!
Just as Guan Jin was silently plotting, his personal terminal rang. Startled, he opened it to find a new ssage glaring back at him—"If you dare say anything, you’re done for!"
The sender was none other than Song Yunxiu!
Guan Jin was so frustrated that he nearly threw the terminal, but rembering Song Yunxiu’s thods, he didn’t dare. Although Song Yunxiu wouldn’t kill him even if he spilled the beans, he would surely make him train, and that experience... better not to ntion it!
Recalling his past, grueling training experiences, Guan Jin involuntarily shivered and dared not think further, silently cursing Song Yunxiu to never see the child!
On the other side, after leaving, Song Yunxiu contacted Tang Yiyi. Although his expression remained cold, it was much softer than when in front of Guan Jin.
Tang Yiyi was at ho eating lunch. Upon seeing Song Yunxiu’s request to call, she walked to the wall before answering. Seeing Song Yunxiu, she was a bit surprised, "What’s up?"
Having made up in his mind that Tang Yiyi was the woman he had been intimate with that night, Song Yunxiu naturally felt a bit nervous upon seeing her. However, not a trace showed on his face as he casually asked, "I’ve recently hunted so Red Refining Snakes, do you want them?"
Tang Yiyi was sowhat surprised that Song Yunxiu would ask this, but she thought he genuinely hunted them. She figured she already owed him a great favor, and since many debts lead to no worries, she didn’t try to act coy, "Just the snake at will do; I have no use for the other parts."
Of course, this wasn’t the complete truth, considering the other parts of the Red Refining Snake were valuable, especially the snake gall, which was extrely rare and had been driven to high prices. While Tang Yiyi wouldn’t coyly reject Song Yunxiu’s good intentions, neither could she accept everything without a second thought, so she only asked for the snake at, which was the least valuable part.
Song Yunxiu was aware of this. Had he been unaware that Tang Yiyi had his child, he might have readily agreed, not because he cared about the valuables, but because he was mindful of Tang Yiyi’s pride, not wanting to embarrass her. However, knowing she was the mother of his child, and understanding her struggle over the past two years, he was eager to make up for it as much as he could and couldn’t bear to see her suffer.
Thus, he feigned difficulty and said, "I left in a hurry this ti, so the Red Refining Snakes haven’t been processed. You’ll have to handle them. Those things an nothing to , don’t overthink it." Pausing, he then cautiously continued, "Where do you live? I’ll bring them to you."
The earlier conversation was all leading up to this question!
Tang Yiyi hesitated for a mont. Logically, since Song Yunxiu had helped her so much, inviting him over for a visit and a al seed appropriate. But she still had Tang Yuan at ho...
Song Yunxiu keenly sensed Tang Yiyi’s hesitation, feeling a bit disheartened. However, throwing gentlemanly conduct to the wind was not his style, nor was backing down! So, Song Yunxiu deliberately asked, "Is it inconvenient for you now?"
Tang Yiyi couldn’t shake the feeling that his words carried an underlying implication, as if refusing him entry equated to sothing unsavory. So, she reluctantly said, "I’ll send you the coordinates; co over now."
Before she finished speaking, Tang Yuan impatiently chid in, "Mom! Who’s looking for you?" How annoying!
Startled, Tang Yiyi instinctively hung up, realizing afterward that she was being overly cautious. Song Yunxiu wasn’t a bad person; even if he found out about Tang Yuan, it shouldn’t matter. She promptly sent her coordinates to Song Yunxiu.
On the other side, Song Yunxiu replayed the soft and tender voice he had heard just now, his heart skipping a beat!
That must be his child! (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian (qidian), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian to read.)
