I only love him

Shen Xingcan then looked at Xie Qingshan: "Dad, I'm back."

Xie Qingshan said gently, "Okay, watch Dad show you his skills later."

"Okay, I really want to eat the fish that Dad makes."

Xie Qingshan, devoid of his usual authoritative demeanor at the company, said affectionately, "Alright, alright, I'll make it for you. Now that you're back, don't leave again. Dad will cook fish for you every day, okay?"

Shen Xingcan smiled and said, "Okay."

Xie Linchuan: "..."

The family of three happily entered the living room.

Shen Xingcan called to Xie Linchuan, who was walking at the back, "Hurry up, I need to show Mom and Dad the gift I bought."

Xie Linchuan: "Hmm."

Qin Su glared at Xie Linchuan. He had feelings for Xingcan that he shouldn't have, yet he was still so cold to her? No wonder Xingcan hadn't spoken to him for years.

Shen Xingcan opened her suitcase, which she had specially used to pack gifts.

Then she began to introduce her gifts.

There were expensive jewelry pieces, as well as small handicrafts that Shen Xingcan found interesting while traveling around.

"I bought this at a small stall in Barcelona. I thought it would be perfect for my dad's study, so I bought it. I also deliberately looked at other things and managed to haggle the price down quite a bit."

He chattered away, like a fledgling sharing its flying adventures with its parents.

Shen Xingcan has been very cheerful since he was a child. When he first started kindergarten, he had a lot to share with everyone every day.

He would exaggerate and tell everyone that he saw a very beautiful flower at kindergarten today, and that he ate very cute little pig-shaped steamed buns for lunch. However, he liked the little tiger that the chubby boy next door had because he thought tigers were more powerful.

"Haha, Xingcan is so smart! This is definitely perfect for Dad's desk."

Qin Su's gaze softened further, but she also felt a pang of guilt. Who could have imagined that her own eldest son would harbor such feelings for her younger son, whom she treated as her own?

Thinking of this, Qin Su glared fiercely at Xie Linchuan again.

Xie Linchuan: "..."

"I bought a pair of sapphires at an auction. I thought my mother often attends banquets, so I made one into a brooch and the other into a ring."

The ring was naturally given to Shen Xingcan's biological mother Shen Lingxun.

Qin Su looked at the sapphire brooch in her hand. "It's very beautiful. Mom has a banquet tomorrow, so I'll take it with me. Can Cancan will be home too, so how about we go together?"

"Good."

Previously, Shen Xingcan wouldn't have attended such banquets with Qin Su and Xie Qingshan, but now the whole country knows that he's going to Qin Su his godmother, so there's obviously no point in hiding it anymore.

After the three chatted happily for a while, Qin Su sent the two younger children out to play and told them that dinner would be served promptly in an hour and a half.

After confirming that Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan had boarded the elevator, Qin Su sighed.

"Old Xie, I just feel really uneasy. What kind of mess is this? I feel especially sorry for Xingcan right now."

Xie Qingshan: " Xingcan may not like your son. It's too early to apologize."

"Sigh, that's true. I feel this way—I want Xingcan to like him, but I also don't want Xingcan to like him... Sigh, it's all that brat Xie Linchuan's fault! Look at the lousy son you gave birth to! I shouldn't have contacted you in the first place; how can I face Lingxun now?"

Ms. Qin Su was very distressed.

Xie Qingshan, implicated by his own son. "..."

-

Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan both have rooms on the fourth floor. Apart from their individual rooms, the entire fourth floor is shared by the two of them, including the study and the media room.

When they were even younger, the two of them slept together even at night.

Shen Xingcan: "Finally home! I can sleep in my soft, comfortable bed now."

Wooden houses have their advantages, but in terms of living facilities, they naturally can't compare to old houses.

"Let's take a shower and change our clothes, then we'll go downstairs to find Mom and Dad. I'm planning to show them what I've got to do with that fish from lunch."

"Um."

Shen Xingcan quickly took a shower, changed into a set of loungewear suitable for home, untied her scarf, and tied her hair with a small hair tie.

Just as he was leaving Xie Linchuan also came out of the door next to him.

Such scenes have rarely occurred in the past few years; the two of them always tacitly avoid being in each other's presence.

Shen Xingcan's eyes lit up when she saw Xie Linchuan's outfit. "What a vibrant young man! Does he have a girlfriend?"

Xie Linchuan wore a dark gray hoodie and matching trousers, which made him look more energetic than usual.

"I have someone I like, and I'm pursuing him."

Shen Xingcan said "Oh," and then added, "If you're pursuing someone, it means you're not together yet. Aren't you afraid you won't be able to win them over?"

Xie Linchuan: "Whether I catch up with him or not, it won't change the fact that I only like him, I only love him."

Shen Xingcan's eyes crinkled into a smile, "Wow, so affectionate! Here's a reward for you."

After saying that, Shen Xingcan leaned over and tiptoed to kiss Xie Linchuan's lips.
