PART 46

"And as far as Yibo knows, Zhan left him for that man," Jiyang added. "Yibo already knows half the truth, so it's fine if we tell him that the man we're handing over is the one who kidnapped Zhan and pretended to be his friend" Lay suggested.

"Aren't we going to tell Gu Wei?" Jiyang asked. "We can't tell him yet because that man is the one who assaulted him," Haoxuan said. "Until Gu Wei fully recovers, we can't reveal the reasons behind his trauma, and we should consult his psychologist on what to do," Lay said. Jiyang and Haoxuan nodded in agreement.

"Oh, by the way, Liying is pregnant," Jiyang said, surprising Lay. "But Yibo isn't the father," he added.

Lay: Does Gu Wei know yet?

"We haven't told him yet, and it seems Liying plans to announce it at your family reunion," Lay laughed. "She'll just embarrass herself."

Meanwhile, Eros and Gu Wei were fast asleep, but around midnight, Eros woke up with a splitting headache. He carefully slipped out of the room to avoid waking Gu Wei. As soon as he stepped out, he collapsed to his knees, clutching his hair, resisting the urge to scream, and quietly sobbed. He stayed like that for about an hour.

After taking some medicine, the pain in his head eased slightly, but his body felt weak. As he leaned back in the chair, his phone vibrated. Seeing an incoming call, he quickly answered.

"Hello, how are you?" asked the voice on the other end. "I'm fine," he replied, though it was clear from his voice that he wasn't. "Are you in pain?" the caller asked. "No, do you have the DNA test results?" Eros asked with a faint smile, even though the caller couldn't see him.

"Yes, I've sent the results to your email."

"Okay, thanks." After hanging up, Eros immediately checked his email and smiled when he saw that he and A-Yuan were a match. "Even without a DNA test, I knew he was my son. I just didn't want him to expect love from me. My life is too uncertain," he muttered to himself as he stared at the DNA test results.

"So Andro isn't really my son. What did Liying do to make us a match?" he wondered aloud. Then called someone again. "Hello, about that thing I asked you to do."

"Then?"

"I'll drop her off at the hotel tomorrow night. After that, you know what to do. Just make sure nothing happens to the baby, she is pregnant," Eros instructed, causing the person on the other end to express concern. "Okay," Eros grinned after the call, stood up, and quietly entered the room to check on Gu Wei. Seeing him sound asleep, Yibo gently covered him with a blanket and kissed his forehead. "I'll bring your baby radish here," he whispered before quietly leaving.

While sitting in the living room, Yibo called his mother. It took a few tries before she answered, as it was already 1 a.m. "Hello, baby, why are you calling at this hour?" Katrina asked sleepily. "Sorry to disturb you, Mom, I called to say that I would pick up A-yuan" Katrina frowned as she sat up in bed and checked the time.

"Do you know what time it is? Why now? Can't it wait until tomorrow? And isn't Gu Wei with you?" Katrina bombarded him with questions. "Yes, Mom, I know what time it is, but I want Gu Wei to see A-Yuan when he wakes up," Yibo replied cheerfully, confusing Katrina with his tone. "Are you dumb?"

"Mom," Eros heard his mother laugh on the other end. "Okay, I'll tell him," Eros smiled. "Bye, I'll call you when I'm close," Yibo said before quickly leaving the house. Before driving off, he glanced back at the house with a smile. "Sorry, but I'm going to be selfish this time," he whispered.

Elsewhere, Katrina knocked on A-Yuan's door, but there was no answer. She slowly opened it and found him sound asleep. She hesitated to wake him, but she knew her grandson would be thrilled to hear that his father had made the effort.

"Baby, baby A-Yuan," she called softly. "Grandma?" A-Yuan mumbled as he woke up. "Your daddy called; he said he's coming to pick you up," she said with a smile. A-Yuan, who had been struggling to open his eyes, immediately sat up, wide awake.

"What did you say, Grandma?" Katrina smiled. "Silly boy, your daddy called and said he's coming to pick you up." A-Yuan beamed and jumped out of bed. "Where is he, Grandma? Is Uncle Superhero coming too?" he asked excitedly.

"Your daddy said Uncle Superhero is asleep, so he's coming alone to pick you up. Now, pack some clothes in your bag," she instructed. A-Yuan started to tidy his bed, but Katrina stopped him. "Leave it, let's go downstairs and wait for your daddy," she said. A few moments later, they heard a car horn, and A-Yuan immediately ran outside.

He saw Eros standing by the car, watching him closely, which puzzled A-Yuan. "Who are you?" Eros asked, surprising A-Yuan with the question. "Dad?"

"Oh, right, you're here," Eros said as he approached and hugged A-Yuan tightly. "Have you changed your perfume?" Eros asked as he pulled back, and A-Yuan smiled at him. "Yes, the one you bought me ran out, Dad."

It was nearly 3 a.m. when they arrived, and A-Yuan had already fallen asleep, so Yibo didn't wake him. Instead, he gently carried him inside and laid him down in the bedroom. Eros smiled softly as he noticed that Gu Wei was still sound asleep. Carefully, he placed A-Yuan on the edge of the bed before quietly settling down beside Gu Wei.

"I should've gotten an even bigger bed," he whispered. "Thank you for giving me the chance to be with my family," Yibo said before sleep overtook him.

The next morning, Gu Wei was the first to wake up, and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw A-Yuan sleeping next to Yibo. "How did my baby radish end up here?" he wondered, glancing back and forth between Eros and A-Yuan, both still fast asleep.

For a few minutes, he just stared at them, peacefully sleeping. "I thought being with you two would only ever be a dream. Back when I was fighting for my life, this was the scenario that kept playing in my mind," Gu Wei thought as tears started to roll down his cheeks.

He gently kissed Eros and A-Yuan on their foreheads before carefully slipping out of bed. Once outside the room, he grabbed his phone to call Haoxuan and Jiyang.

"How's everything going over there?"

"Everything's fine," they replied, then mentioned how a video from the amusement park had gone viral, which made Gu Wei laugh. "I think it's time to start making Liying's life difficult," Gu Wei said, catching his friends off guard.

"What's your first move?" Gu Wei smirked. "Kidnap her tonight and lock her in the basement." Haoxuan and Jiyang exchanged glances. "I don't think tonight will work, Wei²," Haoxuan said, which made Gu Wei frown. "Why not?" he asked.

There was a deep sigh on the other end of the line. "Your ex-husband I mean, your husband has something planned tonight," Haoxuan explained, chuckling a bit. Gu Wei raised an eyebrow, but before he could respond, he felt Yibo's hand on his waist. Startled, he jumped, dropping his phone. "Mr. Wang!"

"Don't I get a little appreciation?" Eros asked, looking at Gu Wei. "For what?" Gu Wei replied. Eros smiled mischievously. "I went out late at night to pick up A-Yuan from Mom's place to surprise you, and I don't even get a hug?" he said, pretending to be upset.
