Su Yi lowered her voice. “Little boy-crazy fool, must you be that exaggerated?”

“Yes.” Shi Lingyu gave her a faint look and pointed at the man sitting beside her quietly. “You don’t know the hunger of a hungry man.”

She already had Teacher Lu, who was considered a diamond-grade bachelor in the capital. Of course, she didn’t understand her feelings. A first-rate man like Teacher Lu could only be chanced upon and not sought out!

Yu Bei felt emotionally tired and sighed deeply. He wanted to ask… What was one supposed to do if one had a boy-crazy girlfriend? He was waiting online. This was urgent.

Jiang Yi prodded and teased him like he was having a good laugh. “Bro, you have to seize the time to earn money to maintain your face. I think you have to possess the neighbor’s worth, Best Actor Huo’s looks, and Teacher Lu’s talent now to prevent you from being abandoned.”

Upon seeing that he was fanning the flames while watching the ‘show’, Shi Lingyu glared at him. “What does this have to do with you? Yu Bei is Yu Bei. Why does he have to have the neighbor’s worth, my Ci’s looks, and Teacher Lu’s talent?”

“If the three of them are combined together, don’t they become your dream lover?” Jiang Yi gave her a look that said he was a good person and that he was doing this for her own good.

“Nonsense.” Shi Lingyu let out a snort and held onto Yu Bei’s arm. “I like him because it’s him. If he changes just to cater to my taste, he won’t be the person I like anymore.”

Jiang Yi smiled and turned around to say to Ji Fanchen, “Look, look, look. Good people don’t get what they deserve. I didn’t even say much yet, but she’s already defending him. Fine, I’ll be the villain.”

“What are you guys talking about?” Cheng Ye was sitting on the outermost end, beside Ji Fanchen. The few people on the other side were speaking very softly, so he hadn’t heard them at all. He was anxious to join in the conversation.

“It’s nothing. Watching the fashion show properly.” Ji Fanchen smiled at him and sat up straight. Out of the corner of his eye, he looked in the direction next to him again and saw Shi Lingyu writing secretly in Yu Bei’s palm at an angle that others found hard to catch!

Yes. Sometimes, it was a case of ‘He’s my person so only I can piss him off and punish him’. There was no way others could take the opportunity to sow discord.

When Xiaoqi walked out in a tiny, cool suit, everyone present shifted their gazes away from all the young models again and looked in his direction. The little guy was too adorable. His cold appearance simply made others go nuts over him.

Ling Sheng looked at her precious son in satisfaction and smiled like an old mother. My son is too handsome!

“That child…” Luo Xin looked at the boy on the stage and said to Gu Shen, “He’s Ling Sheng’s nephew, right? Why is he walking the runway here too? Don’t tell me he wants to debut!”

Gu Shen also looked over, his eyes constricting suddenly. He knew that child. He had gotten someone to investigate him before. He was Ling Sheng’s son. However, why did that child’s eyes resemble Third Uncle so much? He had seen photos of Third Uncle when the latter was young. He looked exactly the same as that child on the runway.

When Third Uncle had posted on Weibo some time ago to refute the rumors, he had thought that Ling Sheng was very capable. She was already a woman with a child, yet she had made Third Uncle fall head over heels in love with her. He had even willingly acknowledged her cheap son and become his father.

However, the moment he saw the child, all his doubts seemed to have been solved instantly. Judging by the resemblance in their eyes and eyebrows, that child was definitely Third Uncle’s. Otherwise, how could they look so alike?

That child was already three years old. Exactly when had Third Uncle and Ling Sheng gotten together? Then, why had Ling Sheng still tried to seduce him during their filming when she had just arrived in the capital? Why had she acted like she had fallen in love with him and only him at first sight?

“Ah Shen.” Luo Xin had a feeling that Gu Shen knew a lot of things she didn’t. However, even if she asked, he wouldn’t tell her anything. She knew in her heart that asking too much would only make him become even more annoyed with her. “Look at that child. Doesn’t he look like Ling Sheng?”

She had always felt that Ling Sheng must have had a child out of wedlock. For female celebrities in the entertainment circle, this alone could cause her career to hit rock bottom. However, although she had hired a private detective to follow her, she had not been able to find any evidence to prove that he was Ling Sheng’s son.

“What do you want to say?” Gu Shen turned to look at the woman beside him. In the past, he had always thought that she was sensible and strong-willed. Actually, it was just an illusion during the period that he hadn’t understood her true character yet. Distance makes the heart grow fonder. Once one crossed this line, one would realize that actually, some things weren’t as wonderful as one had imagined.

“That child calls Auntie Nangong ‘Grandma’.” Luo Xin observed his expression, wanting to find the answer she wanted from his reaction.

Gu Shen’s expression did not change. His lips curled up coldly. “Really?”

“Besides, didn’t your Third Uncle say that he’s his son?” As soon as Luo Xin finished speaking, she saw Gu Shen’s expression change and her heart skipped a beat. An inexplicable sense of jealousy spread in her heart.

Yes!

She had guessed correctly.

That child was Ling Sheng’s son. He had to be Ling Sheng’s son.

However, when the Third Master had refuted the rumors, he had also admitted that that person was his son. Did that mean that the Third Master was with that little slut, Ling Sheng, now? He had even claimed her son as his! He became the father of a child who wasn’t his.

“Shut up.” Gu Shen gave her a warning look. “Don’t spout nonsense when you don’t know anything. Otherwise, even I won’t be able to protect you.”

Since Third Uncle hadn’t announced this matter, he must have his reasons. If someone tried to challenge his authority, they definitely wouldn’t have a good ending. He did not dare nor would he interfere in Third Uncle’s affairs.

Luo Xin was also angered by his words. “Gu Shen, aren’t you afraid? Your Third Uncle’s health has already recovered, and you’re no longer the only heir to the Gu Family. When your Third Uncle has his own son, how much of the Gu Family’s assets will be yours?”

She had initially thought that Gu Shen was the best choice for her in the whole of China. He was handsome and had a good family background. Even though he had an uncle who was the richest man in the world, he couldn’t live for more than two years. When his uncle died, the Gu Family’s assets would all be his. Then, she would be able to reach the pinnacle of her life in one fell swoop.

But in the end? Jun Shiyan had recovered and even had a son now. The status of Gu Shen as the only heir of the Gu Family couldn’t be protected anymore either. If he couldn’t get the Gu Family, what was the point of her being with him?

She hated this. If she had known earlier, she would have gone to find Jun Shiyan. At that time, he had only been an eccentric cripple. As long as she put in more effort, she would definitely be able to take down that man and become Gu Shen’s aunt.

“My Third Uncle has never said that the Gu Family will be handed over to me,” Gu Shen’s lips curled up in a mocking sneer as he looked at the woman. “Or are you with me just because of my status as the successor of the Gu Family and my Gu Family’s money?”

Did she think he was a fool? That he couldn’t see her intentions?
