Jiang Yu was confused at first, and then he realized what he was talking about.

Although male mermaids can get pregnant, not every male mermaid can. If the male mermaid can be pregnant there will be a mark on the back of the neck which will disappear when he gets pregnant and will reappear when the Xiao Yu eggs are born.

It stands to reason that Qin Shen would never know about it, except for the night he first went ashore.

Jiang Yu stared at Qin Shen with round eyes in surprise, and Qin Shen looked at him, “It was you who was on the cruise that night? Why didn’t you say it after so long?”

That night the young man woke up before him and slipped away quietly; he must have seen his face clearly.

Jiang Yu lowered his head, clutching the quilt with his fingers, not speaking.

Qin Shen pinched his brows. What stupid thing did he ask? He is Fang Miao’s brother, and Fang Miao is the young man’s friend. What did the young man say about that night?

He said, “I was drugged that night on the cruise ship.”

Jiang Yu clenched the quilt tightly, and he knew that although he was drunk that night, he could still feel something was wrong.

“How did you get on the cruise ship? Later, I searched for everyone on the cruise ship, but I couldn’t find you.” Qin Shen asked suspiciously.

Jiang Yu was stunned, not expecting Qin Shen to look for him later. When he came back to his senses, he explained in a hurry, “I went up secretly, the cruise ship was very big and beautiful, and I had never seen one like that before, so I snuck up when the people above were not paying attention.”

Jiang Yu finished explaining, worried that Qin Shen did not believe him, he hurriedly looked up at him, changing the subject, “I’m hungry; can we eat?”

He hasn’t eaten for almost a day since yesterday afternoon. Qin Shen stopped the conversation, took a small table and put it on the bed, then put the dinner plate on it, and brought it to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu’s body was so sore that he can hardly lift his arms, so Qin Shen picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of soup, and fed it to his mouth.

“The mole on the back of your neck…” After feeding a few mouthfuls of food, Qin Shen continued to ask when he remembered that the young man had not answered this question just now.

“…… went to the hospital to take it off.” Jiang Yu made up an excuse.

Qin was deeply puzzled, “Why did you remove it?”

Jiang Yu said nonsense: “When I was a child, the master used to fortune-telling, and said that I should remove it when I become an adult, otherwise it would affect my future fortune.”

Qin Shen: “…I didn’t expect you to believe this.”

Jiang Yu pursed his lips and smiled, “It’s okay.”

Qin Shen still had some doubts in his heart. A luxury cruise ship like the Blue Pearl is very strictly managed. Is it so easy to sneak up on it? And the mole on the back of his neck can be removed so smoothly? He stretched out his hand and touched it a few times, but it was smooth, and could not feel any traces of the past.

However, he could not think of a reason for Jiang Yu to lie to him, and looking at the young man in front of him, whose eyelashes were lowered and who dutifully drank the soup he fed him in the past, Qin Shen felt that he was willing to believe everything he said.

When he was full, Jiang Yu yawned and asked, “Why did those people kidnap me yesterday?”

Yesterday he was drugged and although he was a little confused, he still remembered the man, whom he had seen before in the hotel corridor, also surnamed Qin.

Qin Shen hugged him back to the quilt, rubbed his head, and didn’t answer, only said, “Don’t worry, I will solve it, and there will be no next time.”

Jiang Yu was about to close his eyes when something came to his mind and suddenly tugged Qin Shen’s sleeve, “Yesterday, I was suddenly tied out, and the crew still does not know.”

“I’ve already called your agent, so don’t worry.” Qin Shen covered him with the quilt and covered his eyes with his palm, “Sleep at ease.”

Jiang Yu was too tired from last night, and he quickly fell asleep. Only when he fell asleep did Qin Shen get up and carry the dinner plate out. When he went downstairs, the rest of the food on the table was a little cold, but he didn’t mind, he finished eating with the rest of the food and called his assistant, “Have the photos been sent over?”

“Yes.” The assistant said back.

Qin Shen gave a “hmm”, hung up the phone, found Qin Zhentian’s number in his phone, and called it.

In the Qin family villa, Qin Zhentian looked at the unsightly photos on the table, his fingers were shaking with anger, and he was about to have a heart attack. Lu Keying, who sat aside to see the photos, was also close to fainting; her face was white.

Qin Ze was sent back unconscious early this morning, together with these photos. Qin Ze’s body was covered with bruises and scars, and he had a family doctor come to see him, and he had been sleeping upstairs after applying the medicine.

“Who dares to do this to our little Ze? Zhentian, you must arrest the person who did this to Xiao Ze and cut him into pieces!” Lu Keying trembled with anger and rage.

Qin Zhentian was also furious. How could anyone dare not give him any face and treat the second young master of his Qin family? At this moment, the servant walked over with his mobile phone in his hand and said, “Master, the eldest young master has called.”

“There’s no time to answer it.” Qin Zhentian said angrily, he only wanted to find out who dared to do this to his Xiao Ze now.

The servant couldn’t help but say, “The eldest young master said that it was about the second young master.”

Lu Keying turned her head violently as Qin Zhentian got up and took the phone, picking it up.

Not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, Qin Zhentian’s face sank, and he went to the balcony next to him to continue the phone call. Lu Keying was so anxious that she wanted to listen to it, but the servant who was taking care of Qin Ze came down in a hurry, “Madam, the second young master is awake.”

Lu Keying hurried to go upstairs. Qin Ze had already come down from above holding the stairs, limping. The pain from behind him made his face distorted and hideous.

Xiao Ze.” Lu Keying exclaimed and went over to help him sit down on the sofa. When Qin Ze saw the photos on the table, he furiously reached out and threw all the photos to the floor, clutching his mother’s hand, gritting his teeth, and hating: “It was Qin Shen who drugged me and harmed me, mom, you and dad must help me avenge this!

“How can he use such disgusting methods on you, you are no longer a threat to him, why won’t he let you go!” Lu Keying’s heart throbbed with anger. Seeing those unpleasant photos and the bruises on her son’s body, she wanted to kill Qin Shen with a thousand cuts.

Qin Zhentian finished the phone call and came over with a blue face. Lu Keying said angrily: “What did Qin Shen say to you on the phone? These photos were taken by him, and he drugged Xiao Ze to make him like this!”

“Long ago I told you not to provoke him. Why don’t you listen!” Qin Zhentian was furious and lashed out at Qin Ze.

Lu Keying couldn’t believe it, “Zhentian, it’s obviously Qin Shen’s fault; why do you blame Xiao Ze?”

“Ask him yourself; if he hadn’t sent someone to drug Ah Shen, would he have lost a handful of rice without stealing chickens (1) and become like this?” Qin Zhentian was angry, heartbroken, and ashamed. He asked the maid to bring a basin over, picked up the lighter on the table, picked up the photos on the floor, and lit them on fire.。”

“Dad!” Qin Ze’s face twisted, “Qin Shen likes men, and I did it to pull him down so that you could go back to the company, Dad.”

“Why didn’t you discuss this kind of thing with me before you do them?” Qin Zhentian was furious, sat down on the sofa after a pause, and said tiredly, “Go back to your room and pack up. In a couple of days, you will be sent out of the country.”

Lu Keying was shocked, “Zhentian, you are trying to separate us, mother and son, how can Xiao Ze stay abroad alone?”

After going abroad, all the companies under Qin’s family will no longer have room for her family’s Xiao Ze to intervene.

“Then what do you want me to do? Ah Shen has these photos of Xiao Ze in his hands!” Qin Zhentian was furious. Qin Shen had never been close to him since he was a child, so of course, he preferred Qin Ze, the youngest son, but now Qin Shen is holding the photos, so he had to force Qin Ze to go abroad.

“Can he still upload the photos to the Internet?” Qin Ze shouted, “The reputation of the Qin family will be damaged. Grandpa is so old. Is he not afraid of the old man’s anger? He is also part of the Qin family, am I not……”

Before he could finish his words, he was slapped hard by Qin Zhentian, “That’s your grandfather, how can you be so uncultured!”

“Zhentian!” Lu Keying hugged her son, but before she could open her mouth, Qin Zhentian said coldly, “You taught your son well, say one more word and you will leave the country with him.”

After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs without looking back.

Lu Keying bit her lips tightly and her nails pinched into her palms almost breaking the skin of her palm.

When Jiang Yu woke up again, it was already dark outside. A soft light was on at the bedside, Qin Shen was sitting against the bed holding a computer, staring intently at the computer screen.

“Awake?” Noticing a movement in the blanket next to him, Qin Shen turned his head and saw him open his eyes, put down the computer, took a glass of water from the cabinet next to him, and fed it to his mouth, “Drink some water to moisten your throat.”

Jiang Yu drank two mouthfuls of water, After sleeping all day, he felt much better and wanted to get up from the bed, “I want to go back.”

“It’s already late, stay here for one night, tomorrow I’ll send you back.” Qin Shen helped him get up.

Jiang Yu shook his head, “I have already caused the crew to delay the shooting schedule; it is better to go back earlier.”

Seeing his determination, Qin Shen had to relent and said that he would send him back after dinner.

The buttons of Jiang Yu’s clothes were ripped off yesterday and could not be worn. He and Fang Miao were about the same size, so Qin Shen went to Fang Miao’s room to get him some clothes.

The two pieces in the closet, Qin Shen took them down, imagined the appearance of Jiang Yu wearing the clothes of the people and could not help but frown, and hung them back up again.

Jiang Yu saw him return empty-handed, puzzled: “Where are the clothes?”

“He doesn’t have any suitable clothes for this season.” Qin Shen lied without changing his face, found two pieces from his closet, and put them on the bed, “Wear mine.”

Last night, Qin Shen cleaned up his body for him to save trouble, so he only put on his own shirt on him. Wrapped in the quilt, Jiang Yu saw Qin Shen standing beside the bed as if he wanted to dress him with his own hands, and whispered in embarrassment: “…you go out, I can wear it myself.”

“…… I’ll go to the bathroom first.” Qin Shen had to go into the bathroom and quickly came out and said, ” Toothpaste, toothbrush, towels, and hot water are already. After you get dressed, go to wash up. I’ll go downstairs and call the hotel to deliver the meal.” After saying that, he went out.

Qin Shen’s clothes were too big, but he could barely wear them by rolling up the sleeves and trouser legs. Jiang Yu dressed and went into the bathroom. The towel was on the shelf next to the hot water, and the toothpaste was already squeezed on the toothbrush.

He finished washing up and went downstairs just as the hotel people brought the meal over. Qin Shen did not let anyone into the house, so he paid at the door and closed the door.

“Come over to eat.” Qin Shen put the food on the table, and when he saw Jiang Yu coming down, he saw that he was wearing his clothes loosely on his body, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a pleasant smile.

After eating, it was almost eight o’clock, so Qin Shen took the keys and went out to take Jiang Yu back to the crew. When he arrived at the entrance of the hotel where the crew was staying, Jiang Yu unbuckled his seat belt to get out of the car, but Qin Shen called him and took a scarf out of the paper bag in the back seat.

“It’s windy outside.” Qin Shen carefully put the scarf around his neck. Jiang Yu’s face is small, so the scarf wrapped up most of his face leaving only a pair of round bright eyes exposed outside. Qin Shen reached out and plucked his slightly long bangs, looked down and stared at him for two seconds, couldn’t resist, leaned over, and gave him a kiss on his bare forehead, then rubbed his head, “Go in.”

Jiang Yu got off and went into the elevator, walked to the door of the room was about to open the door when the door opened from the inside. Yan Shu appeared in the doorway.

“You’re finally back.” Yan Shu was stunned when he saw him, and then quickly dragged him into the room, looked him up and down, and saw that he was intact. She was relieved, “I heard that you suddenly disappeared yesterday, and I was worried to death. Fortunately, you are all right. Are you hot, why is your face so red?”

“Nothing.” Jiang Yu hurriedly shook his head, took off his scarf, and took off his coat, apologizing, “I had made Sister Yan worry.”

Seeing the clothes on his body, Yan Shu’s expression became strange. She pulled him to sit down on the sofa, and asked, “what happened to you yesterday? President Qin only said on the phone that you had an accident because of him. Have you been with him since yesterday until you came back?”

“I’m not really sure. I was dazed, but it was thanks to Mr. Qin that rushed there.” Jiang Yu omitted the fact that he was drugged and said vaguely.

The clothes he was wearing were obviously not his, and Yan Shu was about to ask him what his relationship with Qin Shen was when she saw a few ambiguous hickeys on a section of his collar that was not covered by his loose collar and stopped talking.

Yan Shu rubbed her forehead. During the last filming, when Qin Shen went to the studio to find Jiang Yu for the first time, she felt that something was wrong. She didn’t expect that the two of them were already in this relationship.

“How long have you and Mr. Qin …… been together?” She opened her mouth to ask.

Noticing Yan Shu’s gaze, Jiang Yu reached out and touched his neck before realizing what she was looking at. He uncomfortably pulled at his collar and stammered, “Not …… long ……”

Yan Shu’s face was serious, “Did he force you?”

  Jiang Yu is a simple child, and he can’t do such a thing as hooking up with a gold master. Jiang Yu looks so good, so she has to consider the worst case.

Jiang Yu hurriedly shook his head.

Was it mutual love? But she has been in the circle for a long time, and she has seen many examples of small stars falling in love with rich people, and finally being abandoned by the rich people. Jiang Yu was too young, and it was easy to be coaxed into real emotion. Although this President Qin had never had any scandals, she was still worried about Jiang Yu.   

“…… Is he good to you?” Yan Shu asked again.

Jiang Yu pursed his lips with a slightly red face, “Quite …… quite good.”

“That’s good, if one day he treats you badly, remember to tell me. Although I cannot help you teach him a lesson, I can still comfort you.” Just be good to him, as if the child is small and in a not-so-reliable relationship. Yan Shu paused, remembering to admonish, “By the way, the fact that you and Mr. Qin are dating, keep it a secret for now. Do not let others know.”

Xingying Media is their company’s competitor, and Qin Shen is their boss’s nemesis. It would be bad if the boss knew that the company’s artist was dating his nemesis.

  …… dating? Jiang Yu was stunned. Yan Shu looked at the time and got up and said: “It’s late, I’ll go back to my room first. You rest early. Tomorrow at six o’clock will be filming. I will come to wake you up.”

After Yan Shu left, Jiang Yu held his pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower. He thought he would not be able to sleep after a day of sleep, but he did not expect to get into bed and fall asleep in a short while.

The next day, just after five o’clock Yan Shu came over to wake him up. After washing up, he went out at five-thirty, and it was still dark and cold outside. When leaving the house, Yan Shu reminded Jiang Yu that the temperature had dropped again today, so he should put on a scarf.

The studio was a temporary studio, so there was no insulation, and the cold wind was pouring into it. Therefore, although the scenes were shot indoors, the people inside were still frozen. As soon as Jiang Yu got off the scene, Yan Shu put him his down jacket, hot water bag, and scarf on him.

Fang Miao, wrapped in a heavy military coat, came over and stopped beside Jiang Yu, and asked with a white breath, “Yu’er, have you settled your family affairs?

The fans visited the set the day before yesterday and he couldn’t find him anywhere. They thought something happened to Jiang Yu, which made everyone in the crew panic. Later, Yan Shu said that something urgent happened at Jiang Yu’s house, and it was too late to rush back to deal with it.

Jiang Yu shrank his face into the scarf and nodded, “Hmm, it’s done.”

Fang Miao was relieved after hearing this, and when he saw the scarf around his neck, he was surprised: “Your scarf is a new limited edition from a brand that I like very much this year, and it is not available in China for the time being. Where did you buy it? I also specially asked my brother to invite his friends back home to bring it.”

  “Right, I’ll call and ask if it’s brought back to me.” Fang Miao thought of it, his frozen fingers squeezing the phone to call his brother.

“Brother, has that friend of yours returned to China? Already back ah, then bring me the scarf, quickly send it to me. What, your friend forgot to bring it? There is no mistake, your friend is too unreliable, I have instructed several times.”

Fang Miao hung up the phone gloomily. Jiang Yu remembered where the scarf came from, and felt a little guilty, and quickly said: “If you like it, you can have it. It’s new, I only wore it once.”

After saying that, he took off the scarf from his neck and put it around Fang Miao.

Fang Miao didn’t know if he should stop him or not, then he looked at Jiang Yu’s smooth neck, and asked his assistant to bring a scarf over and said, “Then I’ll exchange with you. This one was woven by my mother, and it’s new. I have only worn it a few times. My brother and I are the only ones that have one like this, it is exactly the same.

He also put it around Jiang Yu’s neck.

“By the way, it’s Christmas in a few days, and in a few days after Christmas, our movie will be finished. I asked my dad, and he said that he will stop filming before Christmas. Let’s go out for the holidays together at night, after the film is completed, we will be separated, and it will not be easy to meet.” Fang Miao proposed enthusiastically.

That day was also fine, Jiang Yu nodded and readily agreed.

Soon it was the night before Christmas, Jiang Yu returned to the hotel after work and received a call from Qin Shen.

“The company was a little busy these past two days, so I couldn’t contact you.” Qin Shen leaned back in his office chair and pinched the bridge of his nose, “Do you have time tomorrow? Let’s have dinner together tonight.”

Jiang Yu just came out of the shower while wiping his hair, and wondered: “I already have a date with Miao Miao.”

“…… Then the day after tomorrow.” Qin Shen paused for a moment and said, “I’ll pick you up the day after tomorrow.”

Before Jiang Yu could say anything, Qin Shen took him as a promise, urged him to rest early, said a few more words, and hung up the phone.

The next day, work ended at 5 o’clock in the afternoon. Fang Miao called Jiang Yu to go to the square by the river together. At 9 o’clock in the evening, there would be a firework on the other side of the river.

It was almost eight o’clock when the two of them finished their dinner. Just after they came out of the restaurant, Fang Miao received a call from his agent, saying that the brand he was endorsing had a temporary event and he needed to rush over.

Fang Miao wailed and said sorry to Jiang Yu, then hurriedly took a taxi and left. Jiang Yu thought about it and took out his phone to call Qin Shen.

“Miao Miao had an impromptu event, did you arrange it?” He asked as soon as the call was answered.

Qin Shen was a little dissatisfied with a project plan of the company and had called the employees to the conference room and asked them to work overtime to modify it. When he saw the caller ID, he closed the door of the conference room and went to the corridor, wondering: “What temporary event?”

“…… not you?” Jiang Yu was surprised and a little embarrassed, “Oh, it’s okay, I misunderstood.”   

“Miao Miao, had something tonight?” Qin Shen quickly understood and looked at his watch, “Where are you?”

Jiang Yu said the location he was at.

“Wait, I’m going over there now.” Qin Shen hung up the phone, the assistant happened to come out of the conference room and said, “Mr. Qin, the new proposal has been revised, do you want to go in and take a look?

“We’ll look at it tomorrow.” Qin Shen said, “Tell them that they can already leave work.”

Then he quickly entered the office, picked up his coat, and went out the door.
