Without seeing Gu Nianjia’s facial expression, Aunt Zhou continued to type her message on the phone. “Of course, she would like her own grandchildren.”
Gu Nianjia thought for a moment before agreeing. “That’s true. There’s a saying that a generational gap brings people closer.”
She then looked over at Gu Nianshen with her head tilted as she silently studied him. “Based on the looks of my brother and Lin Yiqian, I’m sure their children would look great too.”
“That’s for sure. Nianshen looked like a doll in a painting when he was a child. Anyone who saw him always wanted to give him a kiss,” Aunt Zhou said before taking a pause. “A few days ago, I found an old photo album with lots of pictures of Gu Nianshen when he was a wee child. Let me look for it.”
Aunt Zhou immediately ran off.
Not too long after, she returned with a dusty photo album.
As she walked, she began flipping through the album. Whilst looking through Gu Nianshen’s photos as a child, a pleasant smile appeared on her face.
While Gu Nianshen seemed unaffected, Gu Nianjia huddled over Aunt Zhou excitedly. “Let me see.”
Gu Nianjia snatched the album away from Aunt Zhou. “My brother used to be a fat kid. Hahaha!”
“He was like Xiaoyu when he was a child. He could really eat.”
Was Gu Nianshen as capable of eating like the little jerk when he was young?
Gu Nianshen looked up in surprise at the album in Gu Nianjia’s hand when he heard that Xiaoyu resembled him.
After a while, he gradually looked away as he continued to chew the bread in his mouth. He could not taste a thing.
“Why do I feel that my brother looks like someone when he was young?” Gu Nianjia tried to recall. “Oh yes. My brother looks like that little kid we met!”
Gu Nianshen’s hand trembled so hard that the fork nearly fell out of his hand.
Right then, Gu Nianjia ran over to Gu Nianshen and held the photo up for him to see. “Brother, don’t you think you look like the little kid we met at the airport the other time?
“The kid who is rumored to be your illegitimate child,” Gu Nianjia added as she was worried Gu Nianshen might not remember.
Hearing this, Aunt Zhou finally felt that someone understood her. “Exactly. I thought so too the moment I first saw the child. I had actually thought that Nianshen has been looking after the child outside. As Little Yi was around, I dared not ask.”
Gu Nianjia definitely felt more assured about her hypothesis after hearing what Aunt Zhou said.
Carefully, Gu Nianjia glanced at the entrance to the dining room before she continued speaking. “Brother, I mean it. Think carefully. Did you really not sleep with another woman before?”
As she spoke, she shoved the photo closer to Gu Nianshen’s face so that he could take a better look.
Gu Nianshen looked down at the photo, which had turned yellow from age. In the picture, it was young chubby Gu Nianshen. However, he still could not see how he resembled Xiaoyu.
In spite of that, he was beginning to suspect himself. Perhaps it was what Gu Nianjia said. ‘Think carefully. Did you really not sleep with another woman before?’
‘I like Mr. Gu.
‘Daddy.’
Gu Nianshen could not help but recall Xiaoyu’s voice in his mind.
Wide-eyed, Gu Nianshen reached out for the photo album and closed it.
It was… Impossible.
The little jerk’s mother was Catwoman. As Catwoman was an American, and she had started her career in America, it was impossible for them to have met each other five years ago.
