“What do you want to talk to me about?” Qiao Nuan felt that she and Gu Cheng had nothing in common, so she subconsciously wanted to refuse.

“Let’s talk about the topic that you and Mr. Qiao Lin were discussing in the hospital lobby just now.” Gu Cheng exposed the fact that he had eavesdropped on Qiao Nuan’s conversation without feeling any guilt whatsoever. “I have some things that I need to verify with Miss Qiao.”

Qiao Nuan looked offended. She said coldly and sarcastically, “Mr. Gu, you actually eavesdropped on my conversation with Qiao Lin. How despicable!”

“Sorry,” Gu Cheng said but his expression held no remorse. “But the most important thing now is not me eavesdropping on the conversation but the child. This is what we both care about, isn’t it?”

Even though she didn’t know what her child had to do with Gu Cheng, Qiao Nuan’s curiosity was piqued, so she nodded and agreed.

After leaving the bathroom, Qiao Nuan handed the child to the security guard again and said to Qiao Ning, “Baby, can you continue playing with Gu An? Mommy has something to discuss with Mr. Gu.”

Qiao Ning nodded obediently. “I understand, Mommy.”

Gu Cheng brought Qiao Nuan to the small study in the lounge and poured her a cup of tea.

When the atmosphere between the two of them had eased up a little, he sat opposite Qiao Nuan and started talking.

However, they did not notice that right at the door of the study, two children were lying on the ground, trying their best to listen to what the adults in the study were saying.

Qiao Nuan could not hold it in anymore. She took a sip of tea and looked at Gu Cheng. “I can let you off the hook for eavesdropping on my conversation. If there’s anything you want to talk to me about, just say it.”

“I’m sorry. I overheard Mr. Qiao Lin saying that your biological child died prematurely…”

“Stop, stop right there.”Qiao Nuan immediately raised her hand to signal for him to stop, interrupting Gu Cheng’s words. “You’re mistaken. My child is alive and well. Qiao Ning is my biological son!”

Gu Cheng frowned slightly. “I know you are unwilling to accept reality, but it’s the truth. I hope you can face it bravely.”

“But what I said is the truth!” Qiao Nuan clicked her tongue impatiently. “Qiao Lin did say that my child is dead, but his words can’t be trusted at all…”

Gu Cheng still felt that this was just a reason that Qiao Nuan came up with on her own. He had some sympathy for Qiao Nuan, but the premise of his sympathy was that he had to acknowledge his biological son.

“Miss Qiao, let me get this straight. The person who sold the child to Mr. Qiao Lin was my son’s biological mother, so Qiao Ning is my child. I’m very grateful to you for raising him so well, but I hope you won’t stop us father and son from getting together…”

When Qiao Nuan heard this, she spat out a mouthful of tea and could not help but cough violently.

“Cough… Mr. Gu, you’re kidding right?” Qiao Nuan looked at Gu Cheng in shock. “That’s absurd. Do you think I’ll believe your story? You want to take my child away with empty words?”

“This isn’t a story I made up,” Gu Cheng remained calm, “In fact, the moment I saw Qiao Ning’s face, I suspected that he was related to me. I personally asked Mr. Qiao Lin to confirm that Qiao Ning and Gu An are twins. He’s also my child.”

“That can only mean that you were deceived by Qiao Lin. He’s just an old bastard who talks nonsense!” Qiao Nuan sneered, “Qiao Ning and Gu An indeed look alike, but they definitely don’t look like twins, right?”

Gu Cheng was silent for a long time, and then asked in disbelief, “You’ve been with Gu An for a few days. Didn’t you see Gu An’s face clearly?”

Qiao Nuan was confused. “Gu An has been wearing a mask for the past two days. How could I get a good look at his face?”

After being speechless for a while, Gu Cheng sighed and took out his phone. He opened the photo album and placed it in front of Qiao Nuan. “Miss Qiao Nuan, you’ll know when you look at Gu An’s photo. I’m definitely not making things up.”

As soon as her eyes fell on the photo album on Gu Cheng’s phone, she could not take her eyes off it. Qiao Nuan subconsciously held her breath and carefully flipped through the photos in the photo album.

The little boy looked exactly like Qiao Ning, but it was definitely not Qiao Ning’s disguise. This was because the little boy had always looked like a cool brother since he was young. He was as cold and arrogant as the man beside him—Gu Cheng’s exact lookalike.

“No, this is impossible…” The phone slipped from her hand and fell on the table with a thud. Qiao Nuan then came back to her senses. “How can there be someone who looks so similar in this world?”

“I also think that this is not a coincidence, which is why we conducted an investigation…” Gu Cheng took out his phone and opened a document and placed it in front of Qiao Nuan again. “This is some information I collected from Qiao Lin.”

Qiao Nuan continued reading.

Gu Cheng explained from the side, “From my conversation with Qiao Lin, we know that at that time, your attending doctor personally confirmed that your child had died. Qiao Lin then went to buy a child, which happened to be my son….”
