In a flash, Cui Chengming understood.
He asked in disbelief, "You know Hua Jian too, Family Head Poulton?"
The Poulton Family Head now looked at him as though he were a romantic rival.
His tone was cold. "I do."
Having stirred up trouble, Bo Lin's expression had already returned to normal.
Cui Chengming was by far the most embarrassed.
He had long heard that the Poulton Family Head had come to China to find his biological child, but he had never heard anything about him wanting Hua Jian as his godson.
He inwardly blamed Xue Pan for being so unreliable.
He had failed to uncover something this important.
"Since we have such a connection, why don't we have lunch together?" Cui Chengming was an old fox, after all. His expression shifted slightly before quickly returning to normal.
By now, the Poulton Family Head was less eager to leave.
With a faint, ambiguous smile, he said, "Since you're so insistent, let's eat together. Bo Lin?"
Bo Lin looked up from his phone. "Sorry, my boyfriend needs me for something. I can't join you two."
Silence settled over them.
For a moment, the Poulton Family Head couldn't tell whether Bo Lin had learned his infuriating ways from Hua Jian or had always been like this.
Cui Chengming said, "Then invite Hua Jian along."
For once, the Poulton Family Head thought Cui Chengming could be clever too.
An hour later, Hua Jian felt as though he were sitting at a banquet concealing a trap.
He shot Bo Lin a questioning look, but Bo Lin merely smiled without a word.
Hua Jian was even more confused.
[How did these two guys who want to be my dad end up together?]
Hearing his thoughts, the amusement in Bo Lin's eyes deepened.
He spoke first.
