Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Six people gathered in a private room once again, and the atmosphere was different. Two of them were celebrating, but the sweet romance between Ji Chi and Jiang Junlin had disappeared.

Gu Ci and Lu Zhiyuan hadn’t changed much. This time, the negotiations seemed more solemn. They discussed terms with efficiency, making amendments back and forth. Qin Wan and Rong Li were almost celebrating as well. This was how negotiations should be conducted, and in such a setting, they needed to be taken seriously.

After the negotiations were concluded, it was already 8 o’clock. Gu Ziyu, who had finished work, found no one at home. Chen Fei had brought him to the private restaurant, thinking they would each return home separately. However, they were all surprised when Gu Ziyu showed up.

“Why are you here?” Lu Zhiyuan asked with a smile.

“Daddy!” Gu Ziyu smiled sweetly and threw himself into his arms, playing the role of an innocent and cute child perfectly. “Are you feeling unwell? Your complexion doesn’t look good.”

Jiang Junlin squinted his eyes, and Gu Ci remained silent. It was evident that the two siblings were not pleased with Gu Ziyu’s arrival, especially when they could see that he was only interested in Lu Zhiyuan.

Lu Zhiyuan lightly chuckled as he pinched Gu Ziyu’s cheek. “It’s an old injury, nothing serious.”

There was something strange, though. Since Gu Ziyu came in, the excruciating pain in his heart had miraculously eased.

“It seems like father and son share a deep bond,” Jiang Junlin remarked sarcastically.

Lu Zhiyuan’s single sentence hit two birds with one stone. “If Chairman Jiang envies it, you can consider getting married and having a child. Then you won’t have to envy other people’s sons.”

Jiang Junlin,”…”

Ji Chi,”…”

Jiang Junlin had to admit that he was bested in this regard.

“Big brother, what’s wrong with you?” Gu Ziyu poked Ji Chi’s face. “Why do you look unhappy?”

“He just went through a breakup, don’t mind him,” Lu Zhiyuan said.

“All… my condolences.”

Jiang Junlin was speechless.

Gu Ci,”?”

Are you sure that’s how you use that word?

Gu Ziyu, the master of lightening the mood, chimed in, “Have you ail finished your discussions?”

“We’re done.”

Gu Ziyu happily clapped his small hands together. “Can we eat now? I’m so hungry, Daddy.”

After a few moments of silence from those who were either heartbroken or didn’t get along, Jiang Junlin rang the bell, summoning the waiter to take their orders. Gu Ziyu was about to sit next to Lu Zhiyuan, but he noticed the expressions on Jiang Junlin and Gu Ci’s faces, so he casually moved to sit next to Gu Ci instead.

Gu Ci tore open a packet of wet wipes and helped Gu Ziyu clean his hands and face. “Didn’t you have dinner?”

“I attended a seminar with the old man in the afternoon. There were only snacks, no proper meal, and then I had to work on another case at the office, so 1 missed dinner,” Gu Ziyu’s stomach growled at the right moment.

Rong Li clicked her tongue. “Hiring child labor is one thing, but not feeding them properly? Kids are still growing. What if they get hungry and don’t grow tall enough?”

“I’ll grow to 1.9 meters!” Gu Ziyu declared.

Ji Chi chuckled, his previously low spirits lifted. “Boys take after their mothers. What if he only grows to 1.7 meters?”

“Don’t curse me!” Gu Ziyu playfully squeezed Ji Chi’s little fist in protest.

Jiang Junlin watched Ji Chi and Ziyu, who were happily chatting, and silently pondered that their relationship was genuinely good.

Gu Ziyu noticed something. If he didn’t initiate a topic, this group of people would remain silent, each performing a silent play. His mom was always reserved and quiet, and his uncle wasn’t one for words either.

But his dad was humorous and witty, and they usually had lively conversations. His uncle and mom seemed unhappy.

Gu Ziyu looked left and right and cautiously asked, “Is something unpleasant happening?”

“Internal matters, not suitable for disclosure,” Lu Zhiyuan said with a smirk.

Jiang Junlin gave him a matching fake smile.

Gu Ziyu,”…”

“Uncle, why are you wearing a scarf indoors? Aren’t you hot?” Gu Ziyu innocently inquired. “Don’t you feel warm?”

Ji Chi choked on his drink, coughing violently, his face turning red. Rong Li couldn’t believe her eyes, and even Jiang Junlin felt somewhat awkward. Mostly because all the eyes were now on his neck.

Gu Ci was suppressing a laugh.

The men’s expressions were all quite subtle. Qin Wan, miraculously, remained silent. Gu Ziyu sensed the strange atmosphere and innocently asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Yeah, Mr. Jiang, aren’t you feeling hot? You might as well take off the scarf,” Lu Zhiyuan teased.

Jiang Junlin’s brows furrowed slightly. This little rascal, born in the year of the dog, liked to bite him. His neck was covered in marks that even concealer couldn’t hide. How could he face people? Ji Chi also remembered the passionate night they had last night and momentarily couldn’t decide if the breakup was sweet or bitter.

Gu Ci discreetly put a piece of dessert into Ziyu’s mouth, and Ziyu wisely remained silent.

The others continued their silent play, some suppressing laughter, others exchanging ambiguous glances.

Young Ziyu worriedly thought, “When the dishes arrive, if I’m the only one eating seriously and they all take out their phones to film me eating and then post it on their social media saying, “My kid really enjoys his food.”

It can’t be, right? It can’t be!

His office had a colleague who posted videos of her son eating every day, and he couldn’t understand it. Did you really need to share videos of your son enjoying his meals three times a day on social media?

“Who wants to pry into your secrets!” Gu Ziyu was eating some fruit before his meal. “It’s just a small matter, anyone with a brain can figure it out.”

Lu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow playfully and said, “So, you came here to have a meal with us?”

“Otherwise?” Gu Ziyu looked incredibly innocent.

Qin Wan tried to sow discord, “He suspects you’re here to gather information.”

“Really?” Gu Ziyu said, “I’m a bit hurt now.”

Lu Zhiyuan patted his head. “Then eat an extra bowl.”

Gu Ziyu gave a cold snort but didn’t argue with him. The conversation revolved around Gu Ziyu, avoiding other topics as much as possible. Rong Li asked, “You’re so young, and you attend seminars. When others discuss livelihood issues, can you understand?”

“I can understand some, and for what I can’t, if someone asks me, I answer. If no one asks, 1 eat and drink tea,” Gu Ziyu had his own way of communicating. “I’m young, and my background suggests a pampered upbringing. If I don’t understand certain topics, they can understand that.”

“Has anyone given you a hard time?” Ji Chi asked.

Gu Ziyu expertly fed him a grape and replied, “Other than you guys, who would give a hard time to a seven-year-old baby?”

Everyone,”…”

Lu Zhiyuan propped up his chin and said, “Is there a possibility that no one here believes you’re seven years old!”

Lu Zhiyuan was jealous of the grape Ji Chi had in his mouth. His son hadn’t fed him anything yet.

“I am seven!” Gu Ziyu glared at Lu Zhiyuan, not allowing him to undermine his persona as a seven-year-old baby. He had already mastered this character.

Qin Wan frowned. “I’ve been wanting to ask, baby, do you only report good news and hide the bad? You’re close to both Lu Zhiyuan and my master. Has anyone suspected you’re a spy sent by them? Can Chen Liangdong really use you without distractions?”

This was a question that both Lu Zhiyuan and Jiang Junlin had wanted to ask.

Gu Ci and Gu Ziyu had discussed this topic before, so they remained silent..
