Gu Yuan looked down at him: "What else could it be."

"Then can you take me with you?" His tone wasn’t as confident as before.

Gu Yuan glanced up. He followed her gaze to the infusion bottle, which was still half full, and his face immediately fell.

He wanted to pull it out.

Gu Yuan coughed lightly: "Ahem!"

His hand paused, and then he adjusted the flow speed of the liquid to speed up the infusion.

Gu Yuan’s face darkened, and she raised his chin with her hand to make him look at her, reminding him word by word: "Stay-in-the-hospital!!"

Her palm was warm, but her fingertips were slightly cool.

Her nails weren’t short, and if she applied a bit of pressure while holding his chin, she could leave a crescent-shaped nail mark. This aura was very domineering; Quan Jin hated people with a stronger aura than his, but since it was Gu Yuan, she could do as she pleased.

"Then, after the infusion, can I come to the Gu Mansion?" he asked cautiously.

Gu Yuan withdrew her hand and found a crescent-shaped nail mark on the side of his chin: "When did I ever say you couldn’t come to the Gu Mansion?"

Quan Jin was stunned.

Gu Yuan’s voice was gentle: "Our daughter is ours mutually; without your genes, I couldn’t have her alone. And you are always her father. Even if we’re divorced, you can still come and see your daughter."

Quan Jin: "..."

His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his heart, which seemed dead, suddenly revived. The blood began to flow again.

He regretted what he hadn’t done earlier...

After Gu Yuan left, Quan Jin made a phone call.

...

Yingcan Century.

Yi Shu, who had been overwhelmingly busy lately, couldn’t catch a break from his phone ringing off the hook, and he was already fed up with answering calls.

Another call came in, and irritably, he tossed the phone onto a chair and went to grab a bottle of water.

The newly hired assistant, Xiong Yao, stood by the door. Yi Shu pointed randomly: "Find a place to sit yourself. Didn’t I mention during the interview that the most important thing is to not be too uptight as an artist’s assistant? You must be cheerful and lively."

Xiong Yao nodded at the door: "Got it."

He said he’d remember, but in his heart thought: If I act like I’m not an outsider right away, I’m going to get fired!

That’s a normal response, right?

The nearest chair was a convenient place to sit, but the phone on it was still vibrating. Xiong Yao knew it was Yi Shu’s phone because he had just seen Yi Shu toss it onto the chair in frustration.

Xiong Yao picked up the phone and asked: "Brother Yi, aren’t you going to answer this call? It’s been vibrating non-stop."

Yi Shu drank his water, sat back in his boss chair, and said: "I’ve answered so many calls these days that I’m sick of it. It’s probably something trivial. Just hang up."

Xiong Yao replied: "Okay, sure."

Then he hung up.

Smooth and quick.

Xiong Yao returned the phone to Yi Shu’s desk, and as soon as he put it down, Yi Shu asked: "Did you see the name of that last caller?"

"I did."

"Who was it?"

"Young Master Quan."

"...What?" Yi Shu suddenly raised his voice.

Xiong Yao was startled: "I said, it was Young Master Quan, just those two words."

"Damn!" Yi Shu almost jumped out of his seat.

The unexpected reaction startled Xiong Yao again, blurting out without thinking: "Are you guys gay?"

"I’m into girls!"

"Hey, Brother Yi, that’s not right! How could you be with my sister?"

Xiong Yao wanted to argue with Yi Shu but seeing him on the verge of snapping, he thought better of it. Why provoke trouble, right?!

Yi Shu grabbed the phone from the desk and unlocked it to see the call log.

Damn!

It really was a call from Young Master Quan!

And he actually hung up on it without answering!!

But...why was this big shot suddenly calling him?

While surprised, Yi Shu was also very anxious.

Previously, no matter how many times he called this big shot, Young Master Quan never picked up, driving Yi Shu crazy. Even though the contract was signed and the crew was about to start filming, the confirmed lead actor just slipped away.

It was a small production, a small workshop, with limited investment. Time and cost were tight, and there was no room for delays.

When the director Xu Qiuheng found out, he was furious and didn’t hold back, venting his frustration directly at Yi Shu. However, when Yi Shu calmly revealed Quan Jin’s identity to Xu Qiuheng, Xu Qiuheng immediately backed down.

In the end...

They had no choice but to delay production due to Quan Jin’s status, even if it meant wasting time.
