"What’s the matter?" Mo Qian asked in a deep voice.
"Mr. Jin is at the manor, and Madam is chatting with him."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the line before Mo Qian’s voice, now tinged with darkness, ca through: "You attend the 10 o’clock bidding eting. I’ll co back imdiately."
"This bid is critical for our Gu Family. I’m afraid—"
"That’s settled."
With just a few curt words, Mo Qian ended the conversation.
He set down his phone, grabbed the suit jacket next to him, and strode out of the office.
...
An An, after playing in the garden for long enough, was carried back into the living room by the nanny.
Spotting a handso man sitting there, An An widened his beautiful big eyes and stared unblinkingly at Jin Qichuan.
Other than his dad, this uncle was the most good-looking person he’d seen.
Noticing the little boy’s curiosity towards him, Jin Qichuan stood up, extended a hand toward An An, and said with a gentle smile, "An An, would you let Uncle hold you?"
An An quietly observed Jin Qichuan for a mont before extending his chubby little hand.
Surprised and delighted, Jin Qichuan quickly picked up the soft and adorable An An, who was as plump and cute as a sticky rice ball.
After playing with An An for a while, Jin Qichuan suddenly rembered sothing and turned back to Ji Wei, saying, "I also brought a gift for An An. It’s in the car’s trunk—ask soone to get it."
With that, he pulled out his car keys and handed them to Xiao Xi standing beside him.
Xiao Xi glanced at Ji Wei, and seeing that she made no objections, took the keys and left.
Not long after, Xiao Xi ca back holding the gift.
Jin Qichuan had brought a set of adorably shaped building blocks. As soon as An An saw the toy, his eyes lit up, and he eagerly stretched out his chubby hands, reaching for the box of blocks.
Ji Wei walked over and gently patted her son’s head. "This is a gift from Uncle Jin. We need to say thank you to Uncle first, don’t we?"
An An seed half-understanding. He glanced at Ji Wei, then looked anxiously back at the box of blocks.
"An An, co here. Uncle will help you open it." Jin Qichuan glanced at Ji Wei, then carried An An to the sofa and personally began unboxing the building blocks.
"... Open." An An, sitting in Jin Qichuan’s lap, watched the handso uncle’s actions with eager eyes, his expression irresistibly adorable.
Ji Wei, watching her son interact harmoniously with Jin Qichuan, suddenly felt a pang of emotion.
Thinking back now, it seed like Mo Qian had never played with An An like this, had he?
Mo Qian drove back to Shanshui Manor as fast as he could, anxiety and irritation building.
The mont he stepped into the living room, he was greeted by the sounds of his son’s cheerful laughter and the gentle, warm voice of another man.
Raising his gaze, he saw An An sitting on the children’s play mat, his chubby little hands carefully stacking car-shaped building blocks with a serious expression.
Each ti An An successfully added another block, Jin Qichuan, who was sitting next to him, would gently pat the little boy’s head and praise without hesitation, "An An, you’re amazing!"
Seeing his son playing so happily with his rival, Mo Qian felt like he was about to explode with rage.
She had never seen him this angry before. Without even bothering to change his shoes, he strode over to the two of them, his voice icy and devoid of warmth: "Who allowed you to co in?"
Jin Qichuan glanced at him, the warmth in his expression fading as he slowly stood up.
eting Mo Qian’s gaze levelly, Jin Qichuan didn’t back down. "Ji Wei let in."
His answer was calm and asured.
At the ntion of Ji Wei’s na, Mo Qian’s eyes grew even darker, anger seething within them. "Leave here imdiately!"
