    Chapter 111: Contacting Qin Manwen

    Qin Manwen lay in the car, his thoughts surging like a tide.

    He had just received the photos sent by his subordinate, and he was completely dumbfounded.

    In the photos, Jin Baiyan was carrying Jin Mo on his back, the two of them cheek to cheek, whispering sweet nothings. How intimate.

    It was obvious at a glance that their relationship was definitely not just brotherly affection.

    The investigation report only showed that they had a close relationship, but it didn’t uncover a relationship that went beyond brothers.

    In fact, for the past three years, their relationship had even been estranged.

    Before seeing these photos, he had always thought that they simply had a good brotherly relationship, but he never expected that it would be this good.

    No wonder three years ago, Jin Baiyan had only just announced his engagement when the two of them fell out.

    It seemed that they had already developed feelings for each other long ago.

    Qin Manwen suddenly felt like heaven was playing tricks on him again.

    He was dying, and at the last moment, he found his son, but then he was told that his son was gay.

    He still couldn’t escape the fate of having no descendants.

    Even if Jin Mo recovered from his illness and took over his business, after several decades, there would still be no one to take over the business.

    Then what was the point of all the efforts he and his wife had made?

    Qin Manwen was desperate and powerless! He was completely deflated.

    The joy of finding Qin Momo couldn’t bring him any happiness.

    He thought of the child in Luo Juan’s belly.

    He rejected it not only because he loathed Luo Juan’s scheming, but also because, deep down, he didn’t believe it was his son.

    He was just drunk, not dead. He had some feeling of whether he had slept with her or not.

    Qin Manwen began to calculate how to handle the current situation in his mind.

    He couldn’t let the Qin family die out, but he couldn’t change Jin Mo’s sexual orientation and make him leave Jin Baiyan. What could he do to kill two birds with one stone?

    Just as he was starting to get some direction in his thoughts, his phone rang.

    He sat up, picked up the phone, and slid open the screen. It was a friend request, with the note: Bai Xian.

    Qin Manwen stared at the phone for a long time.

    He couldn’t believe it.

    He could see how alert Xu Jiahao was from his investigation, but he didn’t expect that he couldn’t even last three hours in front of Jin Baiyan.

    He stared at the friend request for a long time before tapping the accept button.

    Well, the sooner they talked, the better.

    Originally, he only planned to talk to him about Jin Mo’s surgery and his subsequent return to the Qin family, but now, he had the added issue of resolving their relationship.

    He was about to say hello to his new friend when the other party sent a message.

    “Twelve o’clock!”

    Qin Manwen didn’t know what to say.

    As the boss of a company, he had never encountered such an extremely simple conversation.

    He was silent for a moment and replied with a “Okay!”

    Didn’t he want to be concise? He used even fewer words.

    Qin Manwen felt like he had acted childishly.

    Jin Baiyan had asked him to talk at twelve o’clock at night, so he had to prepare in advance.

    This young man was not easy to deal with!

    After sending the message, Bai Xian deleted the chat history. Jin Mo would pick up his phone at any time, and he didn’t want Jin Mo to find out about his chat history with Qin Manwen.

    Since Qin Manwen had asked Xu Jiahao to hide it from Jin Mo, there must be a reason!

    He had to be careful.

    He looked at the time, it was almost three o’clock, the time when Jin Mo was about to wake up. He quickly lay down and closed his eyes, waiting for Jin Mo to wake up so he could wake up slowly.

    A few days ago, Jin Mo had noticed his abnormality. To dilute Jin Mo’s unease, he deliberately pretended to wake up at the same time as Jin Mo.

    Seeing that Bai Xian also slept until this time, Jin Mo felt much more at ease.

    He even laughed at Bai Xian for waking up even later than him!

    Bai Xian would always put on an embarrassed look, which would make Jin Mo even happier.

    Feeling Jin Mo’s movements in his arms, his breathing became even and steady, as if he was still fast asleep.

    Jin Mo opened his eyes and looked at the clock on the wall. Aiyah, it was three o’clock again.

    He looked up at Bai Xian, good heavens, he was still sound asleep! He couldn’t help but smile.

    He reached out and started tickling Bai Xian’s waist.

    Feeling the itch, Bai Xian suddenly woke up from his “sleep”, grabbed Jin Mo’s hand, and put on a lazy look.

    “Stop it!” His voice was deliberately low and hoarse.

    “Bai Xian, stop sleeping, it’s already three o’clock, almost time for dinner!” Jin Mo lay on Bai Xian and muttered, “I feel like we’re turning into pigs. Sleeping at night, sleeping during the day, sleeping after eating, eating after sleeping, what are we going to do!”

    Bai Xian chuckled lowly, his chest rising and falling, causing Jin Mo, who was lying on him, to go up and down as well.

    “Haha, Bai Xian, your chest is shaking like a vibrator, it’s so fun! Laugh again, laugh louder, let me shake some more!”

    Jin Mo discovered a new continent. While shaking Bai Xian, he leaned down with all his might.

    Bai Xian naturally obliged.

    The two were having a lot of fun, laughing constantly. Even Xu Jiahao and Xiao Feiwu next door could hear a little bit.

    Xiao Feiwu was very emotional, occasionally laughing along with them.

    Xu Jiahao was heartbroken, his nose tingling and his eyes slightly red from time to time.

    Who knew when this laughter would disappear!

    “Let’s go buy groceries!” Xu Jiahao really couldn’t stand it anymore. If he stayed any longer, he would have to cry.

    Xiao Feiwu stood up happily, following Xu Jiahao with a bounce in his step.

    The two went out directly from the backyard.

    Upstairs, Pei Qingqing and Ruan Ying were sitting on the sofa in the living room.

    They had been very well-behaved for the past week or so.

    They had been staying in their rooms almost all the time, except for going to the front desk to pick up takeout.

    Several times, Pei Qingqing was on the verge of collapse, but Ruan Ying would say something nonchalantly.

    “Go back if you can’t take it!”

    Pei Qingqing had to grit her teeth and persevere.

    Only if they behaved themselves would Jin Baiyan and Jin Mo be likely to relax, and they would have a chance to strike.

    That’s what Ruan Ying had told her, and she had said it countless times, eventually becoming too lazy to say it again.

    Pei Qingqing admitted that her composure was far inferior to Ruan Ying’s. If she wanted to succeed, she would be useless without Ruan Ying. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been suppressed so easily by Jin Mo.

    Jin Mo helped with dinner, but only did half of it.

    “I haven’t helped you with dinner for so long! Now that I’ve finally taken off my cast, why won’t you let me help!”

    Jin Mo leaned on Bai Xian and complained angrily while Xu Jiahao was working automatically.

    Xu Jiahao glanced at Bai Xian.

    Bai Xian gave him a look.

    Xu Jiahao immediately walked to the dining table and dragged a chair over.

    “Okay, okay, I’ll give you the spot. You can put one foot on the chair and one foot on the ground, and work!”

    Jin Mo scurried over happily.

    After working for only a few minutes, he felt a little tired.

    Xu Jiahao stood by his side the whole time, terrified, and occasionally stole a glance at Bai Xian.

    Although Bai Xian was cooking, the corner of his eye never left Jin Mo.

    He naturally noticed Jin Mo’s fatigue and raised his eyebrows at Xu Jiahao.

    Xu Jiahao reacted quickly, went over to Jin Mo, and said with a smile, “Standing on one foot, are you tired!”

    Jin Mo pouted. Since breaking his leg, he had either been lying down or being carried. He was completely weakened. He was already tired after standing for less than ten minutes.

    “Hey, even if my leg can run and jump, I guess I’ll be useless!” He sighed and glanced at Xu Jiahao resentfully, then turned to look at Bai Xian. “I’ve hardly walked these past few days, and I’m completely weakened. I have to exercise more in the future, otherwise, I’ll probably start expanding horizontally soon, and my handsome and dashing demeanor will be gone forever!”

    Bai Xian suppressed his heartache and smiled at him.

    “Won’t happen!”

    “Hmph, you’re just comforting me!” Jin Mo muttered, then sat down on the chair, giving the spot back to Xu Jiahao.

    Xiao Feiwu was always happy and didn’t notice anything unusual. He even joked along.

    “Little Mo, if you keep resting like this, I’ll be able to take you down in a few moves!”

    Jin Mo “hummed hummed” a few times, not refuting. Finally, he pointed at Bai Xian.

    “If you dare to take me down, I’ll have Bai Xian beat you up!”

    Xiao Feiwu opened his mouth, met Bai Xian’s cold gaze, and decisively shut up.
