C48 The Family of Three

By the time they finished their meal, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. In the end, Qin Lang was the one who paid for the meal. He did not know why his brother had gone to Anton, but it was something worth celebrating for Qin Shu. As the older brother, he should treat his brother to this meal to celebrate.

As soon as they walked out of the restaurant, Qin Shu's phone rang. It was a text message from the company. After reading the text, Qin Shu hurriedly said to Qin Lang and Qiao Lin, "Brother, Qiao, I wanted to go back with you guys to play with Yu for the whole afternoon, but just now, the company sent me a message asking me to return to the company at two o'clock sharp and enter my personal information."

"All right, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I've finished filming my show, and I've been taking care of Yu lately, so you don't have to worry about it. Just do your own thing." Since Qin Shu had made up his mind, Qin Lang could only hope that he would work hard and continue to walk down this path.

"Then I'll be leaving first. I'll come and see you guys when I have time." After Qin Shu bid farewell to Qin Lang, Qiao Lin and Yu, he went to the side of the road and flagged down a taxi before leaving.

At the dinner table, Qin Shu told Qin Lang that he was going to apply for a suspension after school reopened. If the singer did not make it in a year, he would go back to school and go his own way.

This was also the deadline he gave himself. If Yee Fann couldn't fall in love with him within a year, he would quit.

"Should we go back now?" Qin Lang asked for Qiao Lin's opinion.

Although he was in danger of being recognized by fans and photographed by reporters on the street, he actually did not want to go back now. Once he got home, Qiao Lin would probably go into his bedroom and would not come out for the rest of the day.

"I'm not going back." Before Qiao Lin could say anything, Qin Xiaoyu answered for him.

Qin Xiaoyu was still a child, after all. Although there was cold air in the house, it was not as attractive as the liveliness outside. "Daddy said to let Daddy cook and go grocery shopping."

This child kept calling him father. Only Qin Lang and Qiao Lin could understand him. However, after listening to him for a long time, Qiao Lin felt that it was too complicated. Seeing that he had the chance to discuss with Qin Lang and get Yu to change his way of addressing him, he figured that Yu could not keep calling him that.

As soon as the lunch was finished, Qin Lang had forgotten about the matter of cooking. Qiao Lin had also forgotten about it, but he did not expect Yu to still remember it.

Qin Lang wanted to suggest that they should go home instead. After all, it was better to go home and be separated from Qiao Lin than to cook a messy meal and be laughed at.

"I..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, Qiao Lin beat him to it.

"Qin Lang, I don't know why Yu keeps calling me father, but can you make him change his way of addressing me? I don't even know who he's calling. What if he doesn't stop calling me Daddy when he sees a man? I don't know."

"What else can I call you if not father? Should I call you mother?" Qin Lang teased. He was Yu's father. He had taught his children how to call others, and not everyone would call him Dad.

Qiao Lin was immediately angered. As a man, how could he be called his mother by a child? This Qin Lang was really bad at teaching children.

"You, he..."

Before he could even curse out loud, Qin Xiaoyu looked at Qiao Lin with a wronged expression, "Does Dad not like Yu?"

Qiao Lin felt a little worried when he saw her pouting lips. He quickly denied, "No, I like Yu a lot."

"Then why doesn't Daddy allow Yu to call me Daddy?" Qin Xiaoyu's eyes immediately turned red.

Qiao Lin could clearly see tears welling up in Yu's eyes. Why did he cry so easily? Qiao Lin wondered if Qin Lang had secretly taught Yu how to act.

However, how could a child of such a young age fake such a realistic act?

Qiao Lin squatted down and held Yu's shoulder lightly, "Because I'm not Yu's..."

Qiao Lin swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. After all, Yu was only four or five years old. There were some things that he might not be able to understand. Looking at his sad expression now, if he were to really explain it to him, not only would he not be able to understand it, but he might even cry.

It was better to let Qin Lang, his own father, teach the children. After all, it was just a matter of being called father a few times.

Qiao Lin carried Qin Xiaoyu in his arms, "Alright, if you want to call me Daddy, then call me Daddy. Let's go, Daddy will take you to the supermarket to buy groceries. Tonight, we'll let your biological father cook and show off his skills."

"Alright, I'll buy groceries." Qin Xiaoyu clapped happily in Qiao Lin's arms, but immediately thought of the taste of his father's cooking: "Dad, I'll eat what you make, not what he makes."

Qin Lang followed behind. When he heard his son dislike him, his heart felt a little sour.

Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Xu Zhou, Qin Lang's manager. He had just received the news that Qin Lang's crew had ended their filming early. "Qin Lang, I heard that your crew finished filming a week earlier. Shouldn't you go back to the company and report to the higher-ups before preparing for your new job? There are so many casts and commercials looking for you. Can you take more jobs and give me more commissions? '" Speaking of Qin Lang's workload, Xu Zhou could not help but feel his heart ache in pain. Although Qin Lang was an A-list actor who had won the Best Male Lead Award many times, all the artists who had reached his position were constantly advertising on television to increase their exposure and allow themselves to stay in this position for a longer period of time. However, for the past two years, Qin Lang had been reducing his workload for Yu. As such, Qin Lang's schedule was the least traveled among all the A-list artists he had ever met. In fact, he could not even compare to a B-list artist.

Fortunately, he now had the support of his acting skills and appearance. With countless fans, he did not fall off the altar.

He was afraid that in another year or two, the new generation would surpass the old one and Qin Lang would be slapped to death on the beach.

"Let's talk about Xu's work tomorrow at the company. I have something to do now." As Qin Lang picked up the phone, he followed closely behind Qiao Lin and Yu as they walked towards the nearby supermarket. He had to be careful not to be recognized by passers-by.

Xu Zhou heard the noise on the street from the phone, "Are you shopping right now?"

"Yes, I just finished lunch and was about to take Yu to the supermarket to buy something."

"Is Qiao Lin here too?" Xu Zhou guessed that all the trainees in the company were on vacation today.

"Yes." Qin Lang did not deny it.

"Come to the office early tomorrow. You have an endorsement contract that's about to expire, and you need to talk about renewing it. You don't have time for new ads, but we have to keep a brand like this." After complaining for a while, Xu Zhou did not force Qin Lang any further. He knew that he had to take care of Yu, and he also knew that even if Qin Lang did not become an artist, he would still be able to support himself.

After Xu Zhou hung up the phone, Qin Lang stared at Qiao Lin, who was walking in front with Yu in his arms.
