Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Qin Fang Has an Extra Kid.

Several days later, the film crew started working, and Female No. 3 had already been replaced. Xu Xia’s incident had caused a huge stir, with many who had been bullied by her speaking out. It was difficult to settle down, but Shen Zhiyi didn’t pay much attention to the details.

During the filming of the new drama, Qin Xiaoran visited the set, bringing shocking news.

"My brother, Qin Fang, has a child now."

Shen Zhiyi stared at her blankly, her apple dropping to the ground.

"What? What?"

Hadn’t they just been talking about him going on blind dates? How could there suddenly be a kid? Not even a rocket moves that fast.

Qin Xiaoran laughed heartily at her completely dumbfounded expression. "It’s not that unusual, is it? Who doesn’t have an illegitimate child? We don’t even know which girlfriend mothered this child. She took some money and left, leaving him a son. You know, that kid is actually quite handsome."

Shen Zhiyi silently picked up the apple. Having been with Pei Yu for a long time, she always felt that their relationship was no different from any ordinary couple. It was only when hearing about Qin Fang’s explosive issues that she realized they truly lived in two completely different circles.

"So, is he," Shen Zhiyi frowned, "still going on blind dates?"

"Yes, of course, he can’t decide that. My dad tells him to go on blind dates, so what can he do? Just raise the kid; it’s not like he’s short on money."

Qin Xiaoran asked excitedly, "Do you want to see the kid? I could bring him over for you to spend a few days with."

"..." Shen Zhiyi shook her head, "Forget it, when would I have the time?"

She chuckled, "Don’t treat it as just playing around; kids are people too."

"I know," Qin Xiaoran was still a child herself, with hardly any affectionate feelings for kids, "I was just saying. That kid is so noisy, crying all day. I’ve even stopped going home recently."

"Hey," she suddenly asked, "can I stay at Huating for a while?"

Even in their eyes, Huating was a beautiful estate. Regrettably, since Pei Yu took over, fewer people were allowed in, let alone hosting banquets.

Shen Zhiyi washed the apple again, "You’ll have to ask Pei Yu."

She couldn’t decide on such matters.

"Tsk," Qin Xiaoran sighed, "Brother Pei Yu definitely won’t agree."

In her opinion, it wasn’t a big deal. Huating had so many empty rooms, and staying there wasn’t likely to interfere with their couple’s world. It might just take a few minutes of Sister Zhiyi’s time to chat.

She stayed with Shen Zhiyi for a while, and left after Shen Zhiyi started filming.

In the evening, Pei Yu came to pick up Shen Zhiyi.

Still curious about Qin Fang’s illegitimate child, she asked, "Did you hear about Qin Fang suddenly having a kid?"

"Hmm?" Pei Yu opened an email, "Yes, I knew."

"Why didn’t you tell me?" Shen Zhiyi felt a little resentful; she wasn’t particularly gossipy, but she was interested in the affairs of those close to her.

Closing his laptop, Pei Yu looked up, "Just count how long you talk to me each day."

Filming during the day and reviewing scripts and memorizing lines at night, he wasn’t allowed even to hold her, since it would distract her. Pei Yu himself barely had time to discuss his own matters, let alone others’.

Shen Zhiyi: "..."

Okay, she was at fault again.

She hugged him proactively, nuzzling into his neck, "I promise, I’ll take a break after this film."

Pei Yu neither agreed nor disagreed; she was naturally restless. If there were no appealing scripts by then, it was unlikely she’d give herself a holiday.

That night, because Shen Zhiyi was curious, Pei Yu exceptionally made a call to Qin Fang.

Qin Fang connected the video call, looking disheveled and spiritless.

"Brother Pei."

Pei Yu leaned back in his chair, letting Shen Zhiyi sit in his lap, and lazily said, "Take a look at your son."

Qin Fang, "... You two treating this place like a zoo?"

He walked with his phone to another room and pointed the camera at a child who was crying loudly, "Look, my son, ugly when he cries, nothing like his handsome dad."

Shen Zhiyi looked at the child, "He looks so pitiful when he cries."

She hadn’t interacted much with children, Duan Jiaze being an exception, but he was well-behaved, rarely cried except when he got scared, whereas Qin Fang’s son was not yet a year old, a prime age for crying.

Pei Yu wasn’t interested in other people’s children, but upon hearing her, he glanced at the screen and ordered Qin Fang, "Stop him from crying."

Qin Fang was at a loss for words, "If I could have made him stop, would I have waited till now?"

He aimed the phone at the child, giving Shen Zhiyi a face-to-face with the child.

"The nanny I hired is useless, doesn’t matter how she tries to soothe him, he keeps crying, I’m so annoyed—eh? Why has he stopped crying?"

Mid-sentence, Qin Fang noticed that the child had stopped crying. He picked up the phone, looked at the child’s tear-streaked face, and when his round eyes met the child’s, the child cried again.

Shen Zhiyi felt baffled, "Why did you make him cry again?"

"Unjust accusation," Qin Fang put the phone back so she could see for herself, "I did nothing... and he stopped crying again?"

When the child wasn’t crying, he looked quite handsome, and although still young, it was hard to tell if he resembled Qin Fang. Shen Zhiyi, seeing such a small child for the first time, was intrigued and tentatively waved at him.

The child immediately cracked a smile.

"My God," Qin Fang exclaimed, "how did you soothe him, he seems to stop crying the moment he sees you."

"I did nothing," Shen Zhiyi also found it strange, shifted slightly to let Pei Yu see, "Quick, look, he stopped crying."

Pei Yu glanced indifferently, and when the child met his gaze, he showed a face that looked like he was about to cry.

Both were startled, and Qin Fang yelled, "No, don’t let Brother Pei show his face, what if it scares him into crying."

It had been so hard to stop him from crying.

Shen Zhiyi was also startled and quickly blocked Pei Yu, "He can’t see you, he can’t see you."

Pei Yu: "..."

Was there any proof that the child was about to cry because of him?

Tch, annoying.

After a few experiments, Qin Fang confirmed that the child stopped crying because he saw Shen Zhiyi, and he didn’t need her to do anything, just seeing her made the child very calm, more effective than any toy.

The problem was Shen Zhiyi belonged to someone else, and Qin Fang couldn’t have her watch the child all the time. He thought for a bit, found a tablet and hung it over the crib in place of the toys, then placed a photo of Shen Zhiyi on it.

Sure enough, the child became exceptionally well-behaved. Upon seeing Shen Zhiyi’s photo, he would grunt a few times, and not a single tear fell.

Qin Fang was too moved and sent Pei Yu a message in the middle of the night.

"Brother Pei, does your sister-in-law lack resources? Whether it’s money or roles, just tell me."

"And if you could lend me your sister-in-law for a few days, that would be even better~"

Shen Zhiyi had already fallen asleep, and Pei Yu, too lazy to respond to his absurd message, simply turned off his phone.
