The night before, he had painstakingly searched for an interview Chu Qing had given on a variety show when she was still a newcomer.
When asked by the host what kind of lover he hoped to have in the future, Chu Qing's answer was gentle and considerate.
After reading it, Wei Yutang reflected on it seriously for a long time. Some things are easy to say, but some things are not.
No matter who he left an impression on before, it had nothing to do with Chu Qing's fantasy of her future partner.
Many people jokingly wonder if Wei Yutang's future partner could tolerate his temper.
"Okay, don't worry, I've already bought the gift. I'll arrange things over there in advance. You just need to bring Xiaxia back with me."
Chu Qing was stunned when she heard this, staring blankly at Wei Yutang with confusion in her eyes.
He was indeed a little sleepy at this time, and his eyes were just as clear as Xiaxia's.
The night was so beautiful, and the evening breeze carried the fragrance of roses, making it seem very gentle. Chu Qing was not as cold as usual; her puzzled expression made her seem rather obedient.
"What I mean is, I'll handle everything."
Wei Yutang's thinking was very straightforward: since he wanted to take the person back, he would definitely have to take good care of them.
It was his own idea to bring Chu Qing back to be with him, not that Chu Qing insisted on going home with him; it was simply his duty.
Even if Chu Qing really wanted to go home with him, he would still do everything he was supposed to do. He truly loved her and couldn't bear to see her suffer even the slightest grievance.
"good."
Chu Qing still didn't understand what Wei Yutang meant. She thought he was saying that he didn't want her to worry about the recording, so she nodded and turned to walk back.
It was too late for him to stay here; he wanted to get back to his bedroom and sleep with Xiaxia in his arms as soon as possible.
After Chu Qing left, Wei Yutang glanced at the time and guessed that his parents were probably still awake, so he made a phone call back.
"What's wrong?"
Mr. Wei hadn't rested yet, but he was planning to go to sleep. It was rare for him to receive a call from his youngest son, so he was a little curious whether his son had encountered some trouble.
Aside from this reason, Wei's father couldn't think of any other possibility.
"Dad, there's something I want to tell you and Mom."
Wei Yutang had been unsure how to bring up matters concerning Chu Qing and Xia Xia with his father, so he instructed those around him to keep it a secret for the time being, not even revealing it to his brother.
This time, due to the recording of the program, I could no longer hide it and chose to confess.
When talking about this matter, Wei Yutang unconsciously took all the blame upon himself, blaming everything on him.
He left Chu Qing to live alone for so many years without investigating the truth. He himself didn't have a proper job, yet he raised Xia Xia to this age.
Mr. Wei had originally planned to rest, but upon hearing this, he was wide awake and suddenly sat up in bed.
"What did you say? I have a grandson?"
When talking about his two children, Mr. Wei had no other thoughts but his biggest worry was their relationship.
Wei's father disapproved of the chaotic private lives of other people's children in the circle, but he was also troubled by the fact that his own child's life revolved solely around work.
Especially his eldest son, some people his age already have grandchildren, but his eldest son doesn't even have a girlfriend.
Sometimes, Wei's father would even think despairingly that even if his eldest son was gay, it wouldn't be bad if he could bring a partner home.
After a heart-to-heart talk between father and son, he realized that his eldest son was not gay; he just had no interest in relationships and focused all his energy on his work.
His wife even got angry with him because of this.
He said that if they hadn't placed all their burdens on their children so early, he wouldn't have had no time to be impulsive in love, instead spending all his time on his career.
Wei's father felt that what he had just thought of might be a little far-fetched, and he wasn't quite sure if it was really the same as what he thought.
I stood up and went out onto the balcony, enjoying the night breeze, intending to listen to it one more time.
"What did you mean by what you just said? You think I have a grandson? My own grandson?"
"How old are you? How many years old are you this year? Are you a boy or a girl?"
After he finished speaking, Wei's father felt more and more uneasy. Either Wei Yutang was wrong, or his question had caused a misunderstanding.
"Wait a minute, when did you find a partner? Why haven't we heard you mention it before?"
It can't be like those spoiled rich kids in their circle who didn't even know the child existed before, only to have the child come knocking on their door after the child grew up.
"Dad, this is a little complicated to explain to you. I recently participated in a variety show, and I'll be back to film for a while next week."
Normally, Wei's father would have said no without hesitation; who would record something like this at home?
"You mean, the child will come along too?"
Aside from this reason, Wei's father couldn't think of any other possibility that would lead his son to bring up this matter for no reason.
"Um."
How old are you?
"A little over three years old."
"You only brought your three-year-old home now?!"
Father Wei slammed his fist on the table in anger. If the child were in front of him, he would definitely have given him a good beating.
He initially thought the baby might not be very big, but now that he's brought the baby back for them to see, he's even considering asking his friends where he can find a reliable nanny.
But now that I hear this, the grandson is already three years old, and he can probably already call me grandpa!
“I didn’t know about this child before.”
If he had known earlier, even if he didn't like Chu Qing, Wei Yutang would have made proper arrangements and taken on the responsibilities he should have borne.
"boy?"
"Yes, her name is Chu Xia."
"Send me the photos so I can arrange accommodations for you tomorrow. When are you coming back?"
"Let's wait a few more days."
It depends on the program team's arrangements, and Wei Yutang isn't entirely sure. Most importantly, before going home, he feels he needs to clarify the issue of his identity with Xiaxia.
"Then show me the photos first."
"good."
Wei Yutang had actually taken quite a few photos himself, all of which were stored in his album. After hanging up the phone, he picked out a few of the better ones and sent them over.
Mr. Wei stared at the incredibly cute little guy on his phone and hurriedly called his wife over to take a look.
As for the child's surname, Wei's father didn't care much. As long as the child was theirs, nothing else mattered.
The production team arranged for the guests to go to the next filming location, and they also needed to go there in advance to install some cameras and settle the staff.
Chu Qing and Xia Xia packed their luggage together. Xia Xia's small suitcase contained two dolls that Wei Yutang had given him, both of which were his favorite anime characters.
In Xiaxia's heart, this uncle was the number one candidate for father.
It's a pity that his father doesn't like to hear him bring up certain topics, otherwise he would definitely tell his father how good this uncle is in his eyes.
"Uncle, shall we go to your house?"
After packing her luggage, Xiaxia ran over to find Wei Yutang to play. She lay there and asked in a lazy voice. The two of them had become familiar with each other, and Xiaxia would always come over to hide whenever she got into trouble.
"Yes, come to my house, you'll stay for a few days."
"When you arrive, be a polite child and remember to call your grandparents."
Caught off guard, Xia Xia nodded without hesitation and agreed without a second thought.
Okay~
Author's Note:
Two more updates to come, before 10 PM.
Chapter 52
After Xiaxia agreed, he remembered something his father had mentioned to him before: if he went to visit his father for the first time, he would at least get a small red envelope, right?
It's clear from the crew that many people are afraid of this uncle. Xiaxia is just young and doesn't know anything.
"Uncle, if I call them grandpa and grandma, will you give me a red envelope?"
Before recording this program, Xiaxia often worried that she would not have enough milk powder to drink in the future. Her father worked so hard that he wished he could divide a bottle of milk powder into two meals.
Want a red envelope?
Why?
Wei Yutang really didn't understand what a little kid like him could do with a red envelope. After all, when he was Xiaxia's age, he had no concept of money at all.
"Dad works hard, so I want to earn money for baby formula myself."
Xiaxia sat there and answered softly. He had overheard the director telling him that if many people liked him, he could also be paid a portion of the compensation.
As long as he is well-behaved, cute, and likable, he can successfully achieve financial freedom regarding baby formula.
"It's all my other father's fault."
If another father were willing to share some of the burden of raising Xiaxia, her father wouldn't have to stay here every day doing so many things he doesn't like at all.
The person being criticized and blamed is right here, but Wei Yutang couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
"Um."
"Uncle, you think I'm right, right? Sigh, I don't want that father anymore. I think you're pretty good. Will you be my father?"
Before Xiaxia said those words, she carefully observed her surroundings and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that her father would not come over and could not overhear what he was saying.
"I really like your dad."
Wei Yutang moved closer to Xia Xia, first turning off his own recording device, and then turning off Xia Xia's as well when he spoke.
He liked Wei Yutang and was not reluctant to mention it, but he did not want too many people to know before things were confirmed.
"Really?"
After asking that question, Xiaxia started to dislike himself again. He felt that it must be true, after all, it would be strange if someone as outstanding as his father didn't like him.
