Chapter 739: Chapter 740: Can we have another one?
Compared to Gu Qichen’s outburst, Xia Ye seemed quite calm.
This made Gu Qichen feel discontented.
Throughout the dinner, Gu Qichen constantly confirmed if Xia Ye really meant it when he called him ‘Dad’.
Or if there had been any better father figures in his heart these past four years.
Xia Yangyang couldn’t take it anymore: “Gu Qichen, can you stop being childish?”
Gu Qichen leaned over to Xia Yangyang’s ear: “Don’t you think our son is a bit too chill? I can’t tell if he’s happy.”
Xia Yangyang rolled her eyes at Gu Qichen: “He got this nonchalance from you.”
Gu Qichen raised his eyebrow at that.
He turned to look at Xia Ye, who was eating noodles: “Xiao Ye, are you happy today?”
“I’m very happy,” Xia Ye replied calmly.
“So, this is what you look like when you’re happy?”
Xia Ye slightly tilted his mouth up, a faint smile on his face, yet his voice was overly serious: “Yes, Dad, this is what I look like when I’m happy.”
Gu Qichen worried in his heart that his son was too good at hiding his emotions.
Just as good, if not better than himself.
His behavior was not like that of a four-year-old child at all.
It was as if he was an old soul in a child’s body.
They stayed at the nursing home late into the night and left after grandma fell asleep.
By that time, Xia Ye had already fallen asleep.
Gu Qichen held the small, soft child in his arms.
He couldn’t even bear to drive.
He let Xia Yangyang drive while he sat in the passenger seat, holding Xia Ye.
He stared at the boy in his arms without batting an eye.
The more he looked at the boy, the more charming the boy seemed. Gu Qichen felt like he could never look enough.
Xia Yangyang chuckled, “I have never seen you . When you first found out that Xia Ye was your son, you weren’t this excited.”
This comment instantly steamed Gu Qichen.
Like a childish boy, he glared at Xia Yangyang and said, “How do you know I wasn’t this excited? I was so happy that I wanted to raise the roof, and how would you know that?”
Gu Qichen seemed like a changed man.
Xia Yangyang laughed: “Alright, stop staring. Your son won’t disappear.”
Gu Qichen was gazing at the little one in his arms: “I helped create him, this might be the most successful thing I’ve ever done. Look at his nose, his mouth, they’re so much like mine. His eyes are just like yours, although your eyes are nicer. And his skin, it’s softer than a little girl’s. Most importantly, he has a genius brain. Tell me, which four-year-old kid in the world could bring down a large company’s network in just a few minutes? Only my son could be such a genius.”
The words were full of pride from Gu Qichen, completely forgetting the massive loss the company had incurred during those few minutes of network breakdown.
Seeing Gu Qichen’s complacent look, Xia Yangyang flattered him accordingly: “Yes, yes, your son is incredible. But do you realize how it feels to be intellectually defeated by a four-year-old?”
“That’s your IQ, not mine,” Gu Qichen replied smugly.
Xia Yangyang was speechless, Gu Qichen was acting like a fool.
But seeing Gu Qichen’s eyes filled with affection, unwilling to look away,
Xia Yangyang felt both joyful and sad.
If she hadn’t impulsively left but had insisted on finding out all the truth,
They wouldn’t have been separated for four years.
Xia Yangyang knew how much Gu Qichen regretted missing their son’s growth.
Xia Yangyang grabbed Gu Qichen’s hand: “Ah Chen, shall we have another child? Let’s give Xiao Ye a little sister, and give you a little sweetheart.”
