There was a strong hostile vibe…
Qi Shaodong could feel chills down his spine as he turned to look at Gu Nianshen. “I told the child’s family to pay one million in ransom. They said they would need to think about it.”
When Lin Yiqian heard the word ‘child’, her ears immediately perked up. She stopped chewing.
Slowly, the chocolate began to melt in her mouth.
“If they need to think about it, make it ten million.” Gu Nianshen snorted.
Qi Shaodong was speechless.
‘Do you think all families are like yours? Money doesn’t grow on trees for everyone.’
Qi Shaodong covered his mouth as he considered whether he should persuade Gu Nianshen to just drop it.
“What child?” Lin Yiqian asked curiously.
As soon as she asked the question, her phone began to ring. It was a call from Bai Se. Without even hesitating, she pressed the button to hang up before sending him a text.
“What’s up?”
“Your husband has demanded a million dollars in return for Xiaoyu.”
Lin Yiqian felt speechless.
She raised her head and looked at Gu Nianshen without saying a word.
‘Just you wait.’ She thought. ‘One day, I’ll demand ten billion dollars from you!’
“Wait for him to raise the price. I’m afraid one million won’t be enough,” she replied.
The fellow had just asked for ten million dollars in ransom.
“It’s the child who wouldn’t let go of Mr. Gu during Galaxy’s show. Coincidentally, we bumped into him again today and he wouldn’t stop bugging our CEO,” Qi Shaodong explained.
Hearing this, Lin Yiqian felt very unhappy.
“Could he be your illegitimate child?” She asked in a joking yet probing manner.
However, Gu Nianshen did not notice the longing look in her eyes.
In fact, he was even feeling slightly upset because his wife was joking about his fidelity.
“From you?” Gu Nianshen asked with a teasing tone.
Lin Yiqian’s grip tightened around the arm of the couch.
“Would you want to keep him in that case?” She asked.
Then, Lin Yiqian held her breath as her heart pounded.
‘Yes, yes, yes. Say yes!’ Qi Shaodong thought. ‘You’re not going to lose anything for saying yes.’
Qi Shaodong wished he could answer on Gu Nianshen’s behalf.
In all honesty, Gu Nianshen had already answered ‘yes’ in his heart as soon as Lin Yiqian asked the question.
However, it was completely hypothetical. There was no reason for Gu Nianshen to reveal his true thoughts.
‘Hehe.’ Gu Nianshen chuckled under his breath. “If you dare to have my…”
“Nianshen!”
‘If you dare to give birth to my child, I’ll keep him.’ Gu Nianshen had wanted to say.
However, before he could finish his sentence, the door was suddenly pushed open. A middle-aged man came in running frantically and interrupted Gu Nianshen mid-sentence.
“Fourth Uncle, what happened?” Gu Nianshen asked after he saw how frantic the man seemed.
Feng Si was the closest person to Song Changwen. He had been by her side for nearly two decades.
When he came running in like that, Gu Nianshen was certain that something serious had happened to Song Changwen.
“Something happened when Xiaxia was on the flight. She had a sudden fever and passed out. The plane was forced to land in Russia. She’s in a dire situation.” Feng Si panted.
