Chapter 97: A Mini Version of Zhang Qilin
To relieve the tension, Gong Siming looked playfully at the seemingly calm Zhang Qilin and spoke to Yue, “Yue, Wan brought your son here.”
Yue remained composed while Zhang Qilin looked shocked. What kind of man could make the formidable Devil Incarnate bear a child?
This was fun, really fun. Gong Siming felt that something interesting was about to happen!
Hearing the arrival of her son, Yue quickened her pace and stepped forward.
Even the naturally prudent Zhang Qilin was intrigued. Whispering into Gong Siming’s ear, he asked, “Ming, when did the devil get married?”
Out of the corner of his eye, Gong Siming glanced at Zhang Qilin and gave a spurious smile, “Who told you Yue was married?”
“The child?” Zhang Qilin blurted out. Attracted by his voice, Yue halted her steps and glared at him.
Zhang Qilin felt embarrassed yet feigned composure. Although he looked prudent and refined as usual, deep down he got an inexplicable feeling. He was both anxious and scared to meet the little kid.
The elegant, noble, steady, and calm man was rarely upset. Even when he met Si Wan back then, he wasn’t so flustered.
At the sight of his clean, warm, handsome, and refined face, Gong Siming involuntarily shook his head.
Before reaching the office door, they heard the playful laughter of Si Wan and the kid.
Yue quickened her pace and trotted to the opened door. In an instant, the kid jumped out of Si Wan’s arms and rushed to Yue.
Yue lifted the child above her head. While laughing, the kid called mama in a childish voice.
The moment when Zhang Qilin saw the child’s face, he could no longer keep his composure and immediately froze at the door. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Judging from the scene, Gong Siming was more certain that the kid was Zhang Qilin’s son.
In fact, the first time when he saw the kid, Gong Siming found him familiar. Until today, he met them both before it dawned on him that the kid looked exactly like Zhang Qilin when he was little.
Si Wan also noticed Zhang Qilin’s strange look, and her eyes suddenly lit up as if she discovered something incredible.
“Weird resemblance!” Si Wan murmured.
Holding the child, Yue was surprised, “What do you mean?”
Following Si Wan’s gaze, Yue met Zhang Qilin’s incredulous eyes. In fact, he was staring at the kid in her arms.
Yue glanced at Zhang Qilin and then the kid who was opening his arms to the man. This was weird.
The kid had Zhang Qilin’s eyes.
The atmosphere in the office became tense and strange.
Gong Siming and Si Wan took their seats in front of the desk. Zhang Qilin and Yue sat on the sofa. The kid was naturally close and clingy to him.
Yue’s piercing gaze was full of pain. Zhang Qilin scrambled to do with the hyperactive kid and kept avoiding Yue’s gaze.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“It was you that night, right?” Yue sounded angry.
Keeping his head down, Zhang Qilin muttered in a regretful tone, “I’m sorry!”
Suppressing her rage, Yue got up and spoke to the couple, “Please take my child away and give us the room.”
Si Wan wanted to mediate, but Gong Siming picked up the child and pulled her out of the office.
As Si Wan showed a worried look, the corners of Gong Siming’s mouth curved up, and he indulgently patted her on the head, “Relax, they are cool.”
It was not that Si Wan didn’t believe Gong Siming, but Zhang Qilin really did a terrible thing.
“They are a perfect match, aren’t they?” Si Wan was surprised and instantly cheered up by Gong Siming’s words.
Indeed. One of them was reserved and charming while the other was refined and handsome. Besides, the kid looked beautiful and cute. They could have a sweet family!
Indulging herself in the imagination, Si Wan laughed happily. Pulled away by the kid, Gong Siming heard the laughter, raised his head, and saw the jolly woman. She was beaming like a flower in its bloom.
In the office.
The man bowed his head while tears were welling up in the eyes of the woman. With a tenacious look, she fixed her eyes on the man.
“You knew it the whole time. Why didn’t you tell me?” A crystal teardrop ran down the corner of Yue’s eye.
“I’ve been looking for you for three years, but you are by my side. Why didn’t you tell me the truth?” Yue choked with sobs and strained her voice to shout.
Zhang Qilin kept his head low and remained silent. Yue seized him by the collar, pushed him to the wall, and forced him to look her in the eyes.
He had always been a good partner, and they had survived countless battles together. He knew she had been looking for the irresponsible man and how much she cared about chastity. Still, he ruined her.
“Junior Master Lin, to be more precisely, from now on, we won’t appear at the same place. When we have to meet, we are just strangers.”
Frustrated by Yue’s calm yet ruthless words, Zhang Qilin felt powerless, turned pale, helplessly leaned against the wall, and watched the woman leave.
The kid playing around was scooped up by Yue. Under the confused gazes of Gong Siming and Si Wan, she whizzed off, “You can find me in Country C.”
What was going on? Before the couple could come to their senses, Yue was already gone.
Yue was returning to Country C not long after she got here! Si Wan looked at Gong Siming with puzzled eyes. He grabbed her hand and led her back to the office.
As soon as they entered the door, Zhang Qilin was seen leaning against the wall desperately with his eyes blank.
“Brother Lin, how did you explain to Sister Yue? Why is she going back to Country C and also taking the child away?” Si Wan asked anxiously in rapid succession.
Zhang Qilin only showed a painful look as if he didn’t hear her at all.
Feeling sorry for his plight, Gong Siming couldn’t help sighing with emotions. How did a smart man become so dull in dealing with relationships? As a matter of fact, he forgot how he dealt with Si Wan back then. He was no better than Zhang Qilin.
If Si Wan didn’t love him so deeply that she forgave him of his every sin, he wouldn’t have a chance to laugh at others.
“Wan, quit talking, he is completely numb.” While speaking, Gong Siming walked to Zhang Qilin, “Lin, be a man, shoulder your responsibility, and don’t let me down.”
Si Wan chimed in, “Brother Lin, the baby is literally a mini version of you!”
