Chapter 100 Your Belly is Already Round, My Treasure
The office was piled high with mountains of documents. Gu Fei had worked all day without even a lunch break. He had just been in the study dealing with work when he knew Lin Qingyan would be back soon, so he put down his work and went outside to wait.
Gu Fei could see that the young man was in a very good mood. When he smiled, his eyes would curve into crescent moons, making him look exceptionally charming, causing others to involuntarily smile along with him.
The man couldn’t help but purse his lips, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned. Seeing the child’s happy appearance, even he, who had been exhausted from a day’s work, felt much more relaxed.
“Young Master, these are your things.” The driver came over with several gift bags, intending to hand them to Lin Qingyan, but the man next to him readily took them.
The driver was a little surprised at the relationship between the two; they seemed very close, but these things were not something he could ask about. “Young Master, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.”
A polite smile graced the young man’s face. “Mm, be careful on the road.”
“Fei Ge, let’s go back.”
“Okay.” Gu Fei held Lin Qingyan’s hand, and the two walked side-by-side into the house. He glanced at the young man’s joyful expression and casually asked, “Yan Yan seems very happy. What did you do today?”
“Mom and Dad took me back to the An family. Mom also made a lot of delicious food, and she packed a lot for me to bring back…”
Lin Qingyan excitedly talked about what happened at the An family, his clear and soft voice revealing lighthearted joy, as happy as a child who had received candy.
“It’s not the An family; it’s your home from now on.” Gu Fei’s tone was soft.
Lin Qingyan: “Then I’ll have two homes from now on.”
Hearing the young man’s casual words, Gu Fei froze for half a second, his heart even skipping a beat because of this sentence. He couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the young man’s palm, and his footsteps stopped.
“What’s wrong?”
Lin Qingyan was puzzled, slightly raising his head to look at Gu Fei’s handsome profile, but unexpectedly, the man leaned down and gently kissed the slightly parted lips. After a moment, he moved away slightly.
The hazy moonlight fell on the man’s face, the stern lines of his face softening. He chuckled softly, “Fei Ge never noticed before that Yan Yan’s mouth is so sweet.”
Is it this mouth that’s sweet, or that mouth that’s sweet?
Perhaps both.
Lin Qingyan immediately flushed crimson, pushing away the enlarged face in front of him, muttering softly, “I didn’t realize Fei Ge was so… inappropriate.” Like a hooligan, but he didn’t dislike it, he even kind of… liked it.
——
Song Shu Man’s desserts were quite good. Lin Qingyan generously shared his mother’s small cakes and egg tarts with Gu Fei, and also ate some fruit salad, although most of the time Gu Fei was watching him eat.
The child seemed to love sweets and couldn’t stop. He quickly finished two small cakes and two egg tarts, and ate quite a bit of fruit, remembering that he had already had dinner at the An family.
When he reached for a third egg tart, Gu Fei mercilessly stopped his action. Lin Qingyan looked longingly at the remaining delicious treats, his slender white fingers moving unwillingly. “Fei Ge, I’ll just have one more.”
“You can’t eat anymore.” The man coaxed softly, his gaze sweeping down to his abdomen, his thin lips moving, his gentle tone serious. “Feel your belly; isn’t it already round, my treasure?”
“…” Lin Qingyan was completely lost in that “treasure.” He lowered his head and glanced at his stomach, unable to understand why Gu Fei could say these words so calmly and seriously.
He could only concede weakly.
“Then I won’t eat.”
Gu Fei still had some work to finish. Before leaving, he collected all the desserts on the table. Lin Qingyan twitched his mouth. Actually, he wanted to say that he wasn’t a gluttonous child and wouldn’t sneakily eat.
In the end, he only muttered a few words in his heart.
Following his heart, which means being cowardly.
As if remembering something, the man, who had just walked two steps upstairs, turned back, looking at the young man who was hanging his head and didn’t know what he was thinking, and said, “If Yan Yan wants to take a bath, tell me.”
Lin Qingyan blinked blankly, looking at Gu Fei. Those clear and beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of confusion. Why did he have to tell Gu Fei if he wanted to take a bath? Could it be that Gu Fei was going to help him bathe?
Then, the next second, he heard:
“I’ll help you bathe.” Gu Fei paused and added, “To prevent you from falling again.”
“!!!” The shocked Lin Qingyan widened his eyes, his prediction having come true. He immediately stood up and hurriedly explained, “That was an accident! An accident! I’ll be very careful, I won’t fall again!”
“No.” Gu Fei cruelly refused. Pausing, the corners of his lips curved upwards slightly, a playful smile playing on them. “Or, Yan Yan can choose not to bathe.”
After saying this, he turned and left, giving Lin Qingyan no room for negotiation.
Lin Qingyan watched the man’s departing back, so heartless! He slumped onto the sofa like a deflated balloon, his mind wandering, imagining Gu Fei bathing him.
Just fantasizing made his face redden.
Maybe he shouldn’t bathe. He’d bathe when Gu Fei went to work the next day.
Mm, that’s a good idea.
Gu Fei was busy working in his study. Lin Qingyan had nothing to do. He couldn’t use his right hand, so he couldn’t write. After thinking for a moment, he took out his flashcards and started reviewing English vocabulary.
“Transform, change, revolution, transformation…”
“Transplant…”
…
As he was reviewing, his mind couldn’t help but conjure up those suggestive images again. His heart thumped like a drum; he couldn’t calm down at all, and he didn’t remember a single word.
What a mess of inappropriate thoughts!
Lin Qingyan frowned, very distressed, and threw the flashcards aside. He couldn’t study, so he picked up his phone and opened Weibo.
He wasn’t surprised to see his name at the top of the trending searches. The heat surrounding his revelation of An Nanyi’s true nature had gradually subsided, but many netizens were still discussing it.
Some were curious whether Lin Qingyan had reconciled with the An family, whether An Nanyi would be driven out of the An family, and others thought it was a publicity stunt… In short, everyone was enjoying the gossip.
Just two hours ago, Mingri Xingchen’s official Weibo account had posted, officially announcing that Lin Qingyan had withdrawn from the program due to injury. An Nanyi and Li Chuan were also mentioned; due to their bad behavior, they had also withdrawn from the program.
However, Lin Qingyan’s withdrawal was due to injury, while An Nanyi and Li Chuan were kicked out by the program team. If they had stayed on the program, the netizens wouldn’t have agreed.
Lin Qingyan’s Weibo account was managed by the company. It had grown from a few hundred followers to over fifteen million, an astonishing speed.
The account had also updated its Weibo, announcing the withdrawal due to injury. Two hours later, the post already had millions of likes and over a million comments.
Netizens really loved gossip.
【Wuwuwu, it’s so unfair! If not for the accident, Yan Yan would have debuted in the C position. It’s all thanks to that vicious An Nanyi!!】
【My goose is gone, I have no motivation to follow Mingri Xingchen anymore. Mingri Xingchen without my goose is incomplete!】
【The silly beautiful boy is gone, the cool king is also pitiful; his wife is not by his side, wah wah wah】
【The saddest person now must be Lin Qingyan. Just thinking about what An Nanyi did behind the scenes… ugh!! I’m so angry, my hair is turning white!】
【Yan Yan, please take care of your body and recover well. Your future is bright! We’re all waiting for you to come back!】
【Baby, you must take care of yourself, we’re waiting for you!!】
…
Looking at the content on the screen, Lin Qingyan felt a mix of emotions. He also had many fans who liked and supported him; in his past life, he was the one who was reviled by everyone.
Only he knew how much he had gone through to achieve what he had today.
However, he really wanted to tell certain fans who were hopelessly obsessed with shipping the couple that the Cool King x Silly Beautiful Boy wasn’t real. He wasn’t Lu Yu Qi’s wife; they were shipping the wrong couple!
Time passed minute by minute.
Lin Qingyan was engrossed in looking at his phone, so much so that he didn’t notice someone standing at the door until a hand rested on the table, and warm breath and a magnetic voice reached his ears:
“What are you looking at?”
He subconsciously turned his head, his lips accidentally brushing against the man’s cheek. He was startled and swayed backward. Gu Fei quickly caught him by the waist, preventing him from falling.
“Careful.”
Lin Qingyan sat up straight, awkwardly forcing a smile at Gu Fei. “Fei Ge, are you finished with work?”
Gu Fei casually kissed the young man’s fair and delicate cheek, and hummed. “Taking a bath?”
Lin Qingyan: “…”
What had to come, finally did.
He smiled somewhat strainedly, secretly gritting his teeth, before whispering, “That, I’m not taking a bath tonight.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he met the man’s eyes, which held a somewhat subtle expression.
It’s over! Lin Qingyan felt complicated. Gu Fei had obsessive-compulsive disorder; he must think he was sloppy and unclean, that he didn’t even wash, and wouldn’t want to sleep in the same bed with him tonight.
That would give him a reason to move back to his old room.
Gu Fei: “Yan Yan wouldn’t be planning to wait until tomorrow, after I go to work, to bathe by himself, would he?”
“?!” The young man’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the calm and composed man. He suspected Gu Fei had mind-reading abilities; otherwise, how could he see through his inner thoughts!
So scary!
Luckily, Gu Fei didn’t dislike him for being unclean.
But, that’s! not! the! point!
Gu Fei: “Bath or no bath?”
Lin Qingyan: “… Bath.”
Gu Fei looked at him with a half-smile. “So good.”
…
Gu Fei tested the temperature of the bathtub; it was just right.
Lin Qingyan stood nervously beside him, with a look of grim determination. His shirt was being removed by the man; he closed his eyes, his left hand tightly gripping his waistband.
“Yan Yan, let go.”
