Gu Tang didn't know if others would find it difficult.
However, Qin Junche's request was clearly beyond his capabilities.
However, considering the tasks I need to complete next...
The most important factor is the significant difference in physical strength between the two individuals.
Gu Tang remained oblivious, letting Qin Junche rub against his shoulder for a while.
The other person's slightly cool nose tip gently brushed against his cheek.
His warm breath was blowing openly onto the side of his neck.
It's itchy.
After a while, even Gu Tang felt a little uncomfortable.
He suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "This... isn't impossible."
Qin Junche, who was still holding him, stopped moving.
His chin rested on Gu Tang's shoulder, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Hmm?"
“Let’s go pick Qin Xiao up and take him home first,” Gu Tang said. “You can be nicer to him in the future, spend more time with him, and treat him better than you treat me.”
Gu Tang's tone sounded exceptionally sincere: "If that's the case, I'll definitely be jealous of our son."
Gu Tang wanted to give himself a thumbs up.
He's really clever; he actually came up with such a great idea.
With both Qin Junche and himself treating Qin Xiao well, his mission will definitely be much easier to complete.
Qin Junche remained leaning on his shoulder for a long time without saying a word.
Gu Tang couldn't see his expression, but she could hear his breathing quicken noticeably.
Then, Qin Junche quickly calmed down.
He straightened up, pulled back the arm that was pressed against the wall, and restrained Gu Tang.
His face had once again returned to that nonchalant smile from the beginning.
Qin Junche raised an eyebrow, looking Gu Tang up and down with a half-smile: "You don't actually believe what I said just now, do you?"
He shrugged, his smile tinged with sarcasm: "When did our Teacher Gu become so naive?"
Qin Junche took a step back, widening the distance between them, before continuing, "I was just teaching you how to make the other person and others believe that you have feelings."
Gu Tang: "..."
"With your clumsy performance just now, do you think Wang Wei would believe it?" Qin Junche sneered. "Heh."
Gu Tang: "..."
"Remember to be smarter next time." Qin Junche glanced at him.
"The Qin family's enemies have been quite active lately. You're so easily fooled, don't let them find a handle against you. Then..." He smiled coldly, "Anyway, not many people outside know that I married you. The old man will help you with small things for Xiao'er's sake. But once the Qin family's interests are involved, no one will care about you."
As he spoke, he reached out and gently patted Gu Tang's face: "Do you understand?"
"I understand." Gu Tang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"You really understand?" Qin Junche frowned when he saw how readily he agreed. "Then do you know what you should do?"
As long as he doesn't act out emotions or jealousy, Gu Tang has quite a lot of experience in power struggles.
He used to be an orphan, without any affiliation or support.
At least in the very first few years of his cultivation journey, he could only rely on himself.
However, Gu Tang later became the number one expert in the cultivation world.
Gu Tang couldn't be bothered to recall the countless bloody battles and treacherous schemes that had taken place.
He quickly analyzed all of Qin Junche's words, and combined them with the information provided by the system, soon drawing a conclusion—
First, Qin Junche did marry him, but there was no wedding ceremony. At that time, there was constant warfare and instability on the borders, and Qin Junche spent 99% of the year on the battlefield. Therefore, apart from a few members of the Qin family, very few people knew about their marriage.
Gu Tang has never appeared in public with Qin Junche.
Secondly, Qin Junche had no feelings for him, and the Qin family had no feelings for him, a university teacher with no background.
Third, perhaps because of Qin Xiao's mild autism, the Qin family has never brought him to appear in public.
Although Qin Xiao is currently studying at a prestigious kindergarten in the capital, neither the teachers, students, nor the students' parents know that he is the son of the Marshal of the Star Army.
They all thought that Qin Xiao was a child from a fallen branch of the Qin family.
This is really great.
Gu Tang summarized these three points, and his enthusiasm was even greater than before.
To his surprise, the situation was better than he had imagined, and under these circumstances, he felt that he had a good chance of successfully completing the mission.
"I'll pick Qin Xiao up this afternoon," Gu Tang said quickly. "I'll try to stay with him as much as possible during this time and minimize unnecessary outings."
"Mm." Qin Junche nodded.
Gu Tang raised his eyes and looked Qin Junche up and down.
It may be for security reasons.
Or perhaps this promising imperial marshal never took this marriage seriously.
Even the small villa where Gu Tang and he live now is quite a distance from the Qin family's main residence.
It's actually closer to the university where he works.
The Qin family rarely sets foot here.
Even when Qin Junche comes, he never lets anyone know.
Apart from Wang Wei, the lawyer who had to handle their marital property and contracts, almost no outsiders set foot in the area.
"Don't come here during this time," Gu Tang said again.
Qin Junche: "..."
Gu Tang smiled slightly at him: "I will take good care of Qin Xiao... Xiao'er. Don't worry."
Qin Junche: "..."
Gu Tang finally felt completely relieved.
He turned and walked upstairs: "I'll pick Xiao'er up first. You'd better wait for me to leave first, and then go out later, so as not to be seen by others. It's a special time, so it's always better to be careful."
Qin Junche: "..."
Standing on the stairs, Gu Tang suddenly remembered something and turned to Qin Junche with a smile: "Actually, I'd better not go to the Qin family at all. Could you please send someone to escort Xiao'er out? I can arrange to meet her at a safe place."
Qin Junche: "..."
I don't know if it was just his imagination.
He felt that Gu Tang seemed to be in a very good mood right now.
Even their attitude towards him was much better than before.
Gu Tang left the house quickly.
Although the information provided by the system is not very detailed, it is probably an innate instinct of the body.
In this unfamiliar world and era, Gu Tangquan knows how to use things like hovercars he's never seen before and the quantum computers on his wrists.
He quickly drove to the coffee shop where he had arranged to meet the other party.
Gu Tang parked the car.
As soon as he entered the coffee shop, he spotted the child sitting by the window.
The other person looked to be about four or five years old.
Actually, Gu Tang was unfamiliar with the child's age, but Qin Xiao...
That is his son in this world.
He and Gu Nuo, the child with whom he only had a brief relationship of a little over a month, were about the same age.
Qin Xiao looks healthier than Gu Nuo.
Her eyes are also big, clear and beautiful.
He had short black hair and his features resembled Qin Junche's.
But it lacked the sharpness and ruthlessness that Marshal had developed through the bloodshed of the battlefield, a ruthlessness etched into his very bones.
Apart from that, Qin Xiao was very quiet.
He sat obediently in the window seat.
There was a small notebook on the table in front of him, and he held a pen in his right hand.
Hearing Gu Tang enter, Qin Xiao looked up at him.
He didn't speak, nor did he show any intention of greeting Gu Tang.
But those clear, bright eyes stared unblinkingly at Gu Tang.
She seemed terrified that Gu Tang would disappear in the blink of an eye.
"What are you drawing?" Gu Tang and Qin Xiao looked at each other for a moment before slowly approaching him.
He leaned down and looked at the small notebook in front of Qin Xiao.
The lines drawn by the child still have a touch of childishness.
However, the whole picture is very complete and the meaning is very clear.
Qin Xiao was pleased to see Gu Tang looking at his painting.
He simply put down the pencil and held the notebook up high so that Gu Tang could see it more clearly.
"This is..." Gu Tang looked it up and down a few times, then tentatively asked, "A mecha?"
The system provided him with this item in his memories, but he had never actually seen it.
Qin Xiao nodded vigorously, clearly even happier.
