"Don't worry." He figured the other person had seen enough and had already suspected everything, so he spoke slowly and deliberately: "I have no intention of having anything happen between me and this Han Xuan."
Qin Junche: "..."
Gu Tang did not lie to Qin Junche.
For him, Qin Junche alone was already troublesome enough.
If you add another one, you might go bald at a young age.
He smiled slightly at his legal partner: "I'm just learning about this Han Xuan. Everyone says he's your destined rival, and he does seem quite formidable."
Qin Junche: "...What do you want to do?"
"I just want to..." Gu Tang turned his head and glanced upstairs.
The door that had been tightly closed just moments before was quietly opened a crack by Qin Xiao.
Gu Tang's gaze didn't linger; he quickly met Qin Junche's eyes again: "Just a reminder."
Gu Tang's voice turned cold: "If you're only targeting me, I can tolerate it. But if you hurt Xiao'er as well, then... well, there's no room for discussion."
He gestured with his chin toward Qin Junche, but ultimately did not utter the word "divorce" in front of Qin Xiao.
But he knew Qin Junche definitely understood.
“I know the Qin family is very powerful, and Marshal is also very powerful. But the Han family is also powerful, and Han Xuan is no less so.” Gu Tang said slowly, “With such competitors around, Marshal, you should be careful.”
After he finished speaking, he smiled at Qin Junche and said, "Of course, I don't want it to come to that. But for Xiao'er, I, as her father, would do anything."
Qin Junche: "..."
What did he do?!
He was disconnected from the video call by Gu Tang, leaving the Star Army quarterly meeting, which was only halfway through, and went home.
As soon as I walked in, I saw my wife admiring a close-up photo of the guy I hated the most.
After enjoying the performance, I was met with a barrage of sarcastic remarks.
But Gu Tang didn't even give him a chance to explain. After saying these words, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
He was going to get some fruit for Qin Xiao.
I also plan to have a good talk with the child.
In Gu Tang's view, Qin Xiao was not autistic at all.
He was probably just a little shy, and then he was terrified by his terrible father, Qin Junche.
He was sincere when he said those words.
Saying it to Qin Xiao's face was also a way of letting him know.
No matter what happens, Gu Tang will always be there to protect him.
Qin Junche watched Gu Tang walk into the open kitchen, staring at his tall and handsome back for a few seconds.
Then he looked up at Qin Xiao's room on the second floor.
The door was still ajar, and a small figure could be seen standing behind it.
Qin Junche thought for a moment, then strode upstairs.
Qin Xiao slammed the door shut.
Qin Junche knocked on the door three times, then glanced at Gu Tang, who was still in the kitchen.
He lowered his voice and threatened his son: "Open the door, or we're done for. I'll tell your dad right now about you chasing your classmates around the school in your mech, making them cry, and then wetting your pants."
After Qin Junche finished speaking, he stood quietly at the door and began to wait.
The door clicked softly at first.
Then someone pulled it open from the inside.
Qin Xiao's small head peeked out from the doorway, and he struggled reluctantly for a few more moments.
He eventually opened the door and let Qin Junche in.
Qin Junche quickly slipped into the room and then closed the door behind him.
Qin Xiao had already jumped onto his bedside and was sitting there.
He looked up, unafraid, at his other father.
Marshal of the Star Army, and the future head of the Qin family.
He was taller and much stronger than him.
Qin Xiao's long eyelashes fluttered twice, and she pouted and turned her head away.
"What did you just do?" Qin Junche was baffled by Gu Tang's retort.
He squatted down in front of Qin Xiao, looking at his son at eye level: "As soon as your dad came back, he got a scolding from your father and was almost kicked out of the house."
Qin Xiao pouted, not wanting to look at Qin Junche.
"Look at me!" Qin Junche reached out and gently pinched Qin Xiao's cheek.
Looking at her son's still stubborn little face.
He sneered and said slowly, "Your father was watching Han Xuan in the living room just now..."
He paused, then reminded his son, "Han Xuan, you know him, right? He's Han Fengting's uncle in your class, the marshal of the Blazing Sun Legion, the guy who pilots the Blazing Flame Mech."
Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at his father.
"Hmph." Qin Junche couldn't help but reach out and pinch Qin Xiao's little face again. "Remember now? Although he's not as good as your dad, he's taller, more handsome, and more capable than you, Han Xuan."
He continued, "Your father was just in the living room, staring at this headshot of Han Xuan, and he was all smiles."
With a "thump," Qin Xiao jumped off the bed and ran towards the door.
"Now you're in a hurry?" Qin Junche straightened up and said lazily behind him, "Too late."
Xiao Qin Xiao stopped at the door.
Its little head drooped down, looking listless.
"What did we say back then? We were to unite against external threats, and what happened?" Qin Junche crossed his arms.
He showed no sympathy for his son: "This time at school, you scared your classmates so much by piloting a mecha that they cried and got fevers, and your parents were called in. You were afraid your dad would be angry with you if he found out, so you asked me to come back to see the teacher."
"I went to see him, and even helped you keep it a secret from your father. And what was the result?" Qin Junche snorted. "You even schemed against me, making me disliked by your father. Qin Xiao, what happened to the father-son alliance? This is outrageous!"
Qin Xiao stood at the door for a while, head down.
He suddenly turned around, ran to his desk, and turned on his personal computer with a snap.
His slender little hands moved swiftly across the computer interface, eventually bringing up a webpage.
He pursed his lips tightly and turned to glare at Qin Junche.
The page that opened showed a photo of Qin Junche standing side by side with a handsome young man.
Each of them held a slender stemmed glass filled with blood-red wine.
The handsome man's eyes curved into crescent moons as he smiled, revealing a small dimple on one side of his face in the photo.
In the photo, he appears to be talking to Qin Junche with his head tilted to the side.
Qin Junche, standing next to him, was also smiling.
Although his smile was faint, the two of them did look very harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
Qin Xiao brought up another interface and typed: "Dad didn't eat dinner."
His words were simple, but Qin Junche understood them.
Qin Xiao meant that Gu Tang was so upset after seeing the photo that he didn't even eat dinner.
Qin Xiao glared at Qin Junche again and typed: "Making Daddy sad means I don't like you."
Qin Junche touched his chin in disbelief.
He paused for a moment, then said to Qin Xiao, "Your father wouldn't be upset about something like this."
"Hmph!" This time, Qin Xiao didn't type anything. Instead, he wrinkled his nose and made a face at Qin Junche.
"Really, son?" Qin Junche sat down on Qin Xiao's bed, looking somewhat dejected, and pulled him into a hug. "Your father would never be upset about something like this. He's trying to team up with Han Xuan to kick his old man out of the house. Son!"
He reached out and grasped Qin Xiao's shoulder: "This time, father and son must stand firmly together and not give that smiling tiger Han Xuan the slightest chance."
Qin Xiao remained silent.
"Otherwise, I'll tell your father that I came back suddenly this time because the school called my parents in." Qin Junche calmly threatened his son, "Not only did you scare the children to tears with your mecha, but after your parents were called in, you were also planning to use your mecha to demolish their houses."
"!!!"
Qin Xiao broke free from Qin Junche's hand, ran to the personal terminal in a few steps, and typed: "I didn't demolish the house, you did!"
"Oh." Qin Junche nodded, "But I didn't scare the children."
"You did!" Qin Xiao was even angrier. "You even scared a child's parent to tears and beat someone until they vomited blood."
"Oh." Qin Junche nodded again. "It seems that's true, but you're the one who ended up getting your parents called in after bullying people at the academy in a mecha."
Qin Xiao immediately deflated.
He rummaged around on the table with his little hands for a bit, and finally nodded reluctantly.
"A wise man submits to circumstances, son." Qin Junche nodded with satisfaction, stretching out his arm to rub Qin Xiao's head.
"Xiao'er." Just then, Gu Tang knocked on the door. "May I come in?"
Qin Xiao rushed over and opened the door for Gu Tang.
As soon as the door opened, he grabbed his father's clothes tightly.
Like a bullied kitten, she clung pitifully to his side.
Gu Tang glanced at Qin Xiao, then at Qin Junche, who was sitting casually on Qin Xiao's bed.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, about to speak.
Qin Xiao then recalled his father's threat from earlier.
He tugged at Gu Tang's hand, stood on tiptoe, and took the largest and reddest cherry from the fruit plate the other was holding.
