727 A Million Times for You 89 (1/2)

”Really?”

”Of course it's real. Since when have I ever lied to you?” said Fan Shixin, who thought that Jin Yiheng would be over the moon.

”Can you send me back this afternoon instead?” Jin Yiheng asked.

Jin Qingyan and Fan Shixin's jaws dropped in shock the moment they heard his words.

”Why? Don't you want to spend time with me?” Jin Qingyan questioned in bewilderment.

Jin Yiheng answered solemnly, ”No, I want to spend time with both Daddy and Mommy. Spending time alone with you is too boring. You don't understand the joy of spending time with me at all. Daddy, you're so boring.”

Jin Qingyan could not help but feel embarrassed by his son's criticism, which greatly took him by surprise. He had never expected for his son to feel that way about him.

”What must I do to be fun and interesting, then? Daddy has no clue at all. Teach me.”

Jin Yiheng sighed and dismissed him, ”You're too old to learn.”

He was again despised and looked down upon!

Ugh!

Jin Qingyan suddenly realized that he had not visited Jin Yiheng in a long time. Could that be the reason why we have grown distant?

Clearly, things had become different after the divorce.

”You finally get to take a day off today. Tell me, where would you like to go to have fun?”

”Can we go anywhere?”

”Yes.”

”I want to go to outer space.”

”…”

There was no way they could communicate!

Noticing the grimace on his father's face, Jin Yiheng burst into laughter and said, ”Daddy, I was just teasing you.”

”I… figured that.”

In the confined space of the room, Lin Mingyuan and Gu Dongcheng sat facing each other; a table on which there was some coffee that neither of them touched was in between them.

After a long while of silence, Lin Mingyuan finally spoke, ”What's on your mind, Mr. Gu?”

”I'm wondering if you're really that sincere, Ms. Lin. From the looks of it, I believe you are, though,” Gu Dongcheng said with a grin.

”I'm always sincere when it comes to working with others. That's just my motto. Are there still no news of your wife yet?”

Her question had struck a sour note within Gu Dongcheng. Xu Youran was pregnant with their child, and he was yet to know if she's dead or alive right now. There were two voices in his head, one telling him that Xu Youran wouldn't have been allowed to survive and the other telling him to keep hoping for a miracle.

”No,” he answered, shaking his head.

Not wishing to talk about that topic any further, Lin Mingyuan said, ”Once you've found another medium, bring him to me immediately. I won't let the cat out of the bag at all. I hope we'll have a joyous cooperation.”

”That's for sure,” said Gu Dongcheng, reaching his hand out to her.

Lin Mingyuan shook his hand and they both came to a consensus.

They did not speak any further and parted ways soon after.

After Lin Mingyuan left, Gu Dongcheng remained in his seat instead of leaving immediately.

He was riddled with problems. Now that he had been kicked out of the family mansion by his parents, it would be tough for him to secure a footing in the company, especially since Gu Beicheng was in charge of it.

To make matters worse, his wife was now missing with no news of whether she was dead or alive, causing him to be exceptionally cautious when he was in the Gu Corporation.

Who could understand the woes he had deep down?

He resented his father for being biased against him and allowing Gu Beicheng to be in charge of the company when they were both his sons.

He did not feel any less competent than Gu Beicheng!

He resented Heaven for being unfair and taking away his mother's life way too early. If she had not passed away early, Mr. Gu wouldn't have married Mrs. Gu and Gu Beicheng would have never existed.
