Chapter 26
Qu Mingnan was completely prepared.
It was just chasing a man. Was it more difficult than becoming a major international director?
He was a man who wanted to become a great director, how could he give up just because of a trivial difficulty!
He did what he said. After making up his mind, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to meet Qin Suiyi when he got off work. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, he received a phone call.
Qu Mingnan wanted to hang up directly, but after seeing the name on the screen, he paused and finally picked up the phone.
A middle-aged woman’s voice rang out: “I heard that you and Ren Qian broke up?”
Qu Mingnan paused: “Yeah.”
The female voice seemed a little dissatisfied: “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Qu Mingnan curled his lips: “You will know sooner or later anyway.”
“Is it the same thing to know from others and to know from you? But it’s okay, I didn’t like her in the first place, and I would never allow you to get married. It’s better that you broke up.”
Qu Minnan paused and sighed helplessly: “…So you are here to congratulate me on my breakup?”
“No, I am here to warn you. I heard that you have been diligently running to Zhao Yang’s set recently.”
Qu Mingnan pursed his lips: “Nothing escapes you.”
The other person sneered: “Just studying is enough, don’t do unnecessary things.”
Qu Mingnan paused: “I don’t know how. ”
“Don’t get too close to Zhao Yang.”
The other person threw the last words and hung up the phone quickly.
Nan Sile looked at Qu Mingnan’s expression and blinked: “Whose call was that?”
Qu Mingnan said calmly: “Hmm.”
Nan Sile shivered slightly, seemingly disliking the person who called Qu Mingnan, “What did she say to you this time? Did she have someone check up on you again? Having such a control freak of a mom is just too much…”
Qu Mingnan interrupted Nan Sile: “Wait a minute. Let’s talk about it later. I want to find Qin Suiyi first.”
“You’re looking for Qin Suiyi? He left just now…”
“Left?” Qu Mingnan was stunned, “When?”
“Just when you were on the phone,” Nansi Le pointed ahead, “he left with my Eric. My Eric was even holding the flowers I gave him.”
“Forget it, let’s go back.” Qu Mingnan said in a sour mood.
“Isn’t that right? Do you really like Qin Suiyi?” Nan Sile’s mouth opened wide. “You have been running to the set these days because of Qin Suiyi?”
Qu Mingnan shrugged: “If I say Yes, do you believe me?”
Nan Sile immediately shook his head crazily. He and Qu Mingnan had known each other for so many years, but he had never seen Qu Mingnan like a man. Qu Mingnan had a girlfriend a few days ago. He was a good straight man, how can he be bent just like that?
“Are you kidding? Is it April Fool’s Day today?”
Qu Mingnan stopped Nan Sile from taking out his phone to look at the date: “I’m not joking, I’m serious. I decided to pursue Qin Suiyi.”
Nan Sile was silent for a long time, and finally blurted out a sentence: “…Are you finally crazy?”
“I’m very awake,” Qu Mingnan smiled slightly, “I’m more awake than ever before.”
Nan Sile looked carefully at Qu Mingnan: “Were you devastated by Ren Qian’s breakup with you, or were you finally driven crazy by your mother?” Qu Mingnan shook his head: “No, anyway, just tell me if you will help me or not?”
“Isn’t that nonsense? We are friends! I will definitely help you!” Nan Sile said immediately, “But…”
“It’s enough if you are willing to help me,” Qu Mingnan interrupted Nan Sile. Not letting Nan Sile continue to ask, he cleverly diverted Nan Sile’s attention, “And you see, the relationship between your Eric and Qin Suiyi is ambiguous now. If I go after Qin Suiyi, won’t it be equivalent to sharing half of the firepower with you?”
Nan Sile suddenly realized: “Yes!”
“So, let’s cooperate!”
“Cooperate, cooperate! But…”
“There is no but!”
“But I still feel something is wrong,” Nan Sile bit her finger, “Aren’t you a straight man?”
Qu Mingnan: “…just think of it as a sudden self-discovery.”
Qin Suiyi suddenly sneezed.
Eric, who was playing with his cell phone while walking, raised his head and glanced at him: “My mom just sent me a text message.”
Qin Suiyi casually buttoned a button: “What’s wrong?”
“She wants us to have dinner at ‘Chungking Express’ tonight,” Eric blinked, “Is ‘Chungking Express’ the name of a restaurant? What a strange name.”
“Just the three of us?” Qin Suiyi asked casually.
Eric stuck out his tongue: “No, her new boyfriend will be there.”
Qin Suiyi paused, but was not surprised: “Let’s go.”
“Wait a minute, I want to throw this thing away, it’s too much trouble to carry.”
Eric was about to throw the flowers in his arms into the trash can, but was stopped by Qin Suiyi.
“What? You like roses?” Eric blinked.
Qin Suiyi took the bouquet of flowers: “There seems to be something on it.”
Eric sneered: “That ignorant guy probably still lived in the last century, and he actually chased people in this way.”
Qin Suiyi smiled faintly and took out the business card sandwiched in the flower.
“I love you?” Eric read out the Italian text above.
Qin Suiyi paused for a moment, then turned over the business card.
Eric suddenly realized, “The card belongs to Qu Mingnan. So, he sent you these flowers? Is he really planning to pursue you? Did he make that idle guy deliver them to me on purpose, fearing you wouldn’t accept them… Wait, how does he know about us? Did you tell him?”
Qin Suiyi was silent for a while and crumpled the business card into a ball: “Nothing, let’s go.”
After Qu Mingnan returned home, the white cat rushed up to ask about the situation: “How is it! How is your progress today!”
“…I sent the flowers out.”
The white cat’s ears suddenly stood up with excitement.
“Then I was rejected.”
The white cat’s ears suddenly dropped.
“Seriously, are you sure that Qu Mingnan likes men?” Qu Mingnan suddenly remembered an important question, “Or is it that he likes women now and will be bent by me in the future?”
The white cat’s ears were shaking, “…I don’t know.”
“You don’t know? You don’t know! Isn’t he your father!”
The white cat suddenly became unhappy: “Will my grandpa tell you his past love history?”
” Of course not,” Qu Mingnan nodded, but soon he realized something was wrong, “Wait, grandpa? 1 the cat uses the term “外公” (wàigōng), which is typically used for addressing the maternal grandfather. I treat you as my son, but you treat me as your mother? Also, you said before that I gave birth to you. What does it mean?!”
“You clarify this! Where did I give birth to you? In a bird’s nest!”
The white cat meowed, “In an artificial womb!”
“An artificial womb? Right, you mentioned that before,” Qu Mingnan suddenly realized something and felt horrified. He instinctively touched his stomach. “Wait a minute, the purpose of that thing… Could it be meant to be inserted into my body?”
