Chapter 76 Gu Ye and Qingyan Meet
An Yu had been strictly controlled by his family recently and had been working at the family company. Every day in the office felt like being in prison. After receiving Gu Fei’s call, he happily skipped work.
However, as soon as he slipped out of the company gate, he ran into An Lingkang, who had just returned from a business deal, right at the entrance. An Yu immediately raised his hand to cover his face, pretending not to see him.
“You brat, why are you leaving before work hours?” An Lingkang grabbed the back of An Yu’s collar and pulled him back. An Yu cried, “Dad, Brother Gu Fei is treating me to dinner. Please let me go. I’m going moldy sitting in the office!”
An Lingkang, the current chairman of An’s Group and An Yu’s father, was still in good shape despite being fifty years old, indicating that he was a handsome man in his youth.
He clearly didn’t believe An Yu. “Why would Gu Fei treat you to dinner?”
“I don’t know either. He suddenly called and said that,” An Yu was also a little confused, then shamelessly hugged his father’s arm and acted cute, “Dad, please…”
An Lingkang couldn’t bear to watch, pushed his son away in disgust, “You’re so grown up, still acting cute, you’re shameless! Hurry up and go, come back early.”
“Okay!”
In no time, An Yu was gone.
“That brat…” An Lingkang smiled helplessly and turned to walk inside.

On the other side, at the Xiuzhen Restaurant, Gu Fei was already waiting in the private room. As soon as An Yu came in, he acted like he’d seen a loved one, excitedly shouting “Fei-Fei” and throwing his arms around Gu Fei.
Gu Fei stood there, with a look of slight disgust on his face, but didn’t push him away. He raised his hand and quickly pulled a hair from An Yu’s head. Second Young Master An, who always had a brilliant head but lacked common sense, didn’t notice at all.
“Fei-Fei, you don’t know how hard my life has been these days! My brother and my parents keep forcing me to work at the company, I’m going to get moldy staying in the office all day…”
Gu Fei remained indifferent, pushing him away mercilessly.
“Sit down and talk.”
An Yu pulled out a chair and sat down, still chattering endlessly. Gu Fei didn’t have the heart to listen to him, finding him annoying, only responding perfunctorily.
The waiter came in to take their order. An Yu didn’t stand on ceremony with Gu Fei, ordering a lot of food. After the waiter left, he belatedly asked Gu Fei, “Brother Fei, why did you suddenly invite me to dinner? No good deed goes unpunished. Could it be…”
Gu Fei: “Your relationship with your brother is good?”
The topic changed too quickly, An Yu didn’t react immediately, not knowing why Gu Fei suddenly asked this, but still subconsciously replied, “It’s pretty good. My brother is pretty well-behaved.”
Gu Fei’s expression was calm, and he asked again, “What about your family?”
“My family? My older brother is biased to the point of being in the Atlantic Ocean. He dislikes me, but cares about Nannan. My parents are the same, they’ve spoiled Nannan since he was young. I, the mediocre second son, am like I was picked up from the trash can, sigh…”
Speaking of this, An Yu was completely distracted, forgetting the previous question, even propping up his chin, looking sadly at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle…Naturally, he didn’t notice Gu Fei’s face turning colder.
“But, why did you suddenly ask me this?”
“Just asking casually.” Gu Fei suddenly stood up, saying indifferently, “I have something to do, I’ll go first. You eat slowly.”
An Yu was puzzled. Why was this man still putting on a cold face? Wasn’t he love at first sight with the little white rabbit, and even took him home? Could it be that the little white rabbit didn’t move him either?
In the few seconds An Yu was puzzled, Gu Fei had already strode out. “Hey, don’t go…” He looked in the direction Gu Fei left, full of doubts, “What’s going on? He suddenly invited me to dinner, didn’t say much and then suddenly left?”
Oh well, I’ll just enjoy the food alone.
Gu Fei happened to meet the waiter carrying dishes in the corridor. The waiter stopped to greet him. Gu Fei nodded, coldly instructing, “Don’t serve the dishes, cancel the order.”
The waiter was puzzled and was about to ask why, but seeing the man’s extremely cold face, silently suppressed his question and respectfully nodded in agreement.
Only then did Gu Fei feel a little more relieved, and strode out again.
On the other side, poor Second Young Master An waited excitedly in the private room for half an hour, but the waiter didn’t serve the food. When he went out to ask, he found out that Gu Fei had canceled the order.
“…”
An Yu had many swear words he didn’t know whether to say or not. When did Gu Fei become so mischievous? He had gone to all this trouble just to get at him? When did he offend Gu Fei?
Could it be…
An Yu fearfully covered his mouth. Could it be because he had just called him “Fei-Fei”?
Yes…that must be it!
Sigh…Gu Ye has become increasingly petty lately.
Gu Fei went home, collected a few hairs from Lin Qingyan’s bedroom, and personally delivered them, along with the hair he’d pulled from An Yu, to the DNA testing center.
“I hope to get the results as soon as possible.”
“Don’t worry, Gu Ye, no problem.”
“Thank you.”
The testing center was efficient, and Gu Fei received the results that same day. The result was expected; he wasn’t surprised. Lin Qingyan and An Yu were biological brothers, confirming what Qin Qiushui had said.
Gu Fei sat in the car, his lips slightly pursed. He silently looked at the DNA report in his hand, hesitating whether to tell the An family the truth immediately or tell Lin Qingyan first.
However, he didn’t hesitate for long before starting the car, heading towards the Tomorrow Star’s filming location.
On the other side, Lin Qingyan had just returned to the dormitory from the preparation room when he heard his phone vibrate. He took his phone from under his pillow. When he saw the caller ID, his hand trembled, and the phone dropped onto the bed.
The caller ID was: Lin Jianxiang.
His so-called father. This was the first time Lin Jianxiang had contacted him since his rebirth, probably because he was out of money.
Lin Qingyan curled his lips in sarcasm, directly hung up, and added him to his blacklist.
There was no need to contact him. His relationship with Zhou Yuelian had already soured, and as for this father, Lin Jianxiang drank and gambled outside, was lazy and gluttonous at home, and would scold him when he was in a bad mood, sometimes even resorting to violence.
The word “father” for Lin Qingyan represented the nightmares of his youth, a synonym for the devil. He would never forget how many outrageous things Lin Jianxiang had done to him.
If possible, Lin Qingyan didn’t want to return to that home.
Lin Qingyan despondently lowered his eyes, vaguely hearing voices from the balcony outside. It was An Nanyi, who seemed to be on a phone call, vaguely hearing the word “Mom,” and laughing happily.
Lin Qingyan only paused for a moment before leaving.
He walked casually for a while, then went to the dance studio to practice. He didn’t know how long he practiced, but the sky gradually darkened.
Lin Qingyan stopped. Due to intense exercise, his face was slightly flushed, covered in sweat. Large beads of sweat flowed down his cheeks, his training clothes soaked through.
His low mood had improved somewhat. He casually wiped the sweat from his face and prepared to go to the cafeteria to fill his empty stomach.
Just as he turned to leave, a staff member suddenly came over. She smiled at Lin Qingyan, “Qingyan, you’re here! Come with me.”
“What’s wrong?” Lin Qingyan followed the staff member without understanding.
“Just come with me.” The staff member seemed to be playing coy. Lin Qingyan didn’t ask any more questions and followed her to the exit of the filming location. Guards were stationed there; trainees couldn’t leave without permission.
Lin Qingyan found it even stranger, but he saw the staff member showing her work ID to the guard, then pulling him out. The lights outside were dim, and a black Maybach was parked not far away, the license plate number somewhat familiar.
His heart leaped; he instantly understood what was happening.
“Go ahead, here’s your work pass, you can come back directly later.”
“Thank you.” Lin Qingyan took the work pass from the staff member and watched her walk back inside. Suppressing his excitement, he quickened his pace towards the car.
As soon as he walked over, the rear window opened, and the familiar face he hadn’t seen for days appeared in front of him. The man’s brows showed a hint of weariness, as if he hadn’t rested well, but his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, his familiar magnetic voice coming through, “Qingyan, come here.”
“Okay.”
Finally, he wasn’t hearing the man’s voice through a phone. Lin Qingyan couldn’t help but raise the corners of his lips; the remaining trace of low spirits was covered by joy. He opened the rear door on the other side and sat down beside Gu Fei.
“Fei-ge, when did you come back?”
“This morning.” A genuine smile finally appeared on Gu Fei’s face. As he spoke, he handed the bunch of red roses, still vibrant and beautiful after being in the car for half a day, to the young man.
Good thing he managed to give them today.
Lin Qingyan hesitated, not immediately taking them. He looked at Gu Fei in surprise, “These are for me?”
“Who else would they be for?” Gu Fei asked back.
“Thank you.” The young man finally took the flowers. His eyes shone with a bright smile, happily examining them, even leaning down to smell them. The roses exuded a faint fragrance, and he couldn’t help but smile, “They’re beautiful. I really like them.”
He liked anything from Gu Fei.
He just didn’t expect Gu Fei to have such a romantic side.
“Glad you like them.” Gu Fei’s gaze rested on Lin Qingyan, suddenly pointing at his own mouth.
Seeing this, Lin Qingyan subconsciously touched his own mouth, murmuring softly, “There’s nothing here…”
He still remembered the last incident in Gu Fei’s office. Because Gu Fei pointed to his mouth, he thought the other party was asking for a kiss, so he leaned in and kissed Gu Fei, only to find out that he was just reminding him that he had cake crumbs on his mouth.
Every time he thought about it, he felt embarrassed and awkward.
Gu Fei suddenly said, “Qingyan, kiss me.”
