Qin Xu's profile picture is blank, and his WeChat nickname is also clear at a glance: XU.

Zuo Chi hesitated for a while, clicked through friend verification, and added a note.

As soon as the verification was passed, Qin Xu sent a message: Chi?

Zuo Chi thought he missed a word, and corrected him seriously: Zuo Chi.

Qin Xu probably looked through his circle of friends: Did you go on a trip?

Zuo Chi: Already back.

Qin Xu: What a coincidence.Looking at the time you posted the photo, I was also in France at that time, but I had already left Paris.

Zuo Chi was surprised: Do you live in Germany?

Qin Xu: My father and mother live in Berlin, and I often walk around in various places.I have been to the Seine, but unfortunately the weather was not so good and I did not see the sunset.

The father he was referring to was obviously not the eldest of the Qin family, but a Chinese man who later married his mother.

Qin Xu's Chinese is very standard, and they talked about travel speculatively. They once stayed in the same hotel in Milan and ate at a restaurant in Florence. Although they were not at the same time, similar experiences can also lead to many common topics.

Qin Xu: When I was in Italy, I would eat an ice cream every day.

Zuochi: Well, I ate three on the first day in Italy.

Qin Xu: Have you ever eaten at the restaurant next to the Milan Cathedral?

Zuo Chi: No, many people lined up.

Because of Qin Xu's identity, Zuo Chi started chatting with him with a sense of vigilance, but from France to Italy, and then from Italy to Germany, Qin Xu didn't mention the marriage, but instead talked about it as a friend. The posture was talking, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

For the next period of time, Qin Xu would chat with him on WeChat, sometimes asking him what restaurants are worth visiting in City S, sometimes commenting on the financial news he forwarded, and sometimes sharing some life-related information. content, but not excessive or offensive.

What makes Zuo Chi feel comfortable is that he is a confidant, but he will not ask Zuo Chi to reply immediately, and he has no intention of prying into Zuo Chi's life.

Zuo Chi is still not interested in him. To him, "Qin Xu" is a symbol like "Qin Rui", symbolizing his marriage partner.As for how tall the man was and what he looked like, he was not at all curious.

This person is his fiancé, but not his Alpha.

Since Qin Xu returned to China, he has not shown his face in front of the Qin family. The boss of the Qin family plans to introduce him on a formal occasion, not only to the Qin family, but also to the outside world, so that they will know that without Qin Rui, he would not have heir.

The 59th birthday party of the boss of the Qin family was a perfect opportunity. He booked a big hotel to hold the birthday party and specially invited several media.

Zuo Chi naturally received the invitation letter for the birthday party.He caressed the exquisite paper invitation letter with complicated emotions, and he didn't want to get involved in the Qin family's disputes at all, but at present, as long as the Zuo family stood in line, it was impossible for him to stay out of it completely.

He asked his assistant to pick out gifts and delivered them to the Qin family on the morning of the birthday party, while he arrived half an hour earlier.

The hotel where the birthday party is held is resplendent, luxurious and high-profile. The venue fee is very expensive at first glance. When you enter the door, someone will greet you and greet you. There are two waiters waiting for orders at each table.

Zuo Chi sat next to Shu Qingyu, and looked around the hall to make sure that no one from the Sheng family was present.Presumably Qin Yanren gave up maintaining a friendly relationship with the Sheng family when he reached an agreement with Zuo Yi.

The boss with a suit and leather shoes came up to say hello to Zuo Yi, mentioned an auction to be held recently, and talked about one of the land, the two discussed for a long time.The man looked at Zuo Chi next to him: "What does Manager Zuo think?"

Zuo Chi is still Manager Zuo, but he is no longer the manager of the headquarters, and this title does not refer to him alone.He briefly analyzed the value of the land based on the existing conditions and situation, and stopped short: "It's just some humble opinion of the juniors, not enough for Mr. Yang's reference."

"Does Manager Zuo have any auction items you want?"

Zuo Chi smiled lightly: "I won't participate."

Zuo Yi patted Zuo Lie on the shoulder: "This time Zuo Lie will go with me."

Mr. Yang nodded, praised Zuo Lie as "a good-looking talent", and looked a little embarrassed.

After he left, Zuo Yi threw the question to Zuo Lie: "Do you have the auction item you want?"

Zuo Lie tentatively said, "Is that debt asset package okay?"

Zuo Yi remained calm: "How much will you bid?"

Zuo Lie said the number, which made Zuo Yi lose his face completely, and his voice was full of anger: "You bought that thing, do you think you have too much money?"

Shu Qingyu said something wrong: "It's normal for Xiaolie not to be clear, take your time, there must be a process of understanding."

But in fact, Zuo Lie has not been in contact with this aspect for a day or two, and he is still like a newcomer who has just started.Zuo Yi was obviously dissatisfied, but he didn't attack because there were people around.

Zuo Chi looked like an outsider and didn't speak.Shu Qingyu lightly touched his elbow with his hand, and he pretended not to understand, and retracted his elbow.

A quarter of an hour before the banquet, Qin Yanren took the stage. He was 59 years old, but he was well maintained. He looked only in his forties and was full of energy.

Behind him was a young man in his twenties, a man of mixed race, with black hair and brown pupils, clear and beautiful eyes, his face was like a sculpture, with a full forehead, prominent browbones, tight jawline, and well-defined lips.

Almost everyone's eyes were on the young man, half of them were lamenting his outstanding appearance, and half of them were thinking about the relationship between him and Qin Yanren.

Looking at Qin Yanren or Qin Xu alone, there is no similarity between them, but when they stand together, few people will doubt that they are father and son.

Qin Yanren stood in front of the microphone and spoke. He first thanked everyone for coming to his birthday party, and then asked Qin Xu to step forward to officially stamp Qin Xu's identity.

"I'm over half a century old, and I never thought I would have an Alpha son."

As soon as this remark caused a commotion, the Qin family's face was not very good-looking.

There are quite a few illegitimate children in their circle, and there are also illegitimate children who have been brought home, but there are only a handful of illegitimate children who have publicly admitted like this.

Qin Xu was not stage frightened, and sent birthday wishes to Qin Yanren on the spot, probably because his stepfather is also Chinese, and his Chinese is surprisingly fluent.Qin Yanren said with a smile: "Your appearance is the best gift for me."

This pair of "Father's kindness and son's filial piety" on the stage was photographed by the media and quickly posted on the Internet.

Although the Qin family had great opinions on Qin Yanren's play, due to the presence of guests and the fact that it was Qin Yanren's personal birthday party, they could only watch Qin Yanren bring Qin Xu to each table to toast.

When they arrived at Zuo Chi's table, Qin Yanren put his hands on Zuo Yi's shoulder familiarly, his face flushed with joy.

Qin Xu walked to Zuo Chi and held out his hand: "Hello, Chi."

Zuo Chi didn't hear what he was saying for a while, and asked in a low voice while stretching out his hand: "Huh? What's delicious?"

Qin Xu smiled: "I'm greeting you. You are cuter than I imagined."

"..." It was the first time for Zuo Chi to hear someone use the word "cute" to describe himself. He recalled the chat with Qin Xu during this period, but he didn't find any evidence of "cute". He was obviously replying sternly.

Qin Xu held the wine glass and asked him, "Can you drink?"

Zuo Chi hesitated for two seconds, but still nodded.

Qin Xu took the juice on the table and filled it up for Zuo Chi: "Then let's toast."

Zuo Chi felt that it was inappropriate to drink fruit juice to celebrate birthdays, so he heard Qin Xu say, "Respect for our first meeting."

The two cups collided, Zuo Chi drank up the juice, and poured the wine again to toast Qin Yanren.

Qin Yanren laughed cheerfully: "Xiaochi, did you add WeChat with us Qin Xu?"

Zuo Chi replied: "Yes."

Qin Yanren: "You young people usually chat a lot, and make appointments to hang out. He just returned to China and is not familiar with S city. You can take him for a walk."

"Tomorrow is Sunday, so you are all free." Zuo Yi said, "Zuo Chi, you and Qin Xu should go out for a walk together, don't stay at home all day."

Zuo Chi was lukewarm: "Yes."

Qin Xu said, "Then I'll contact Chi tomorrow."

It was only then that Zuo Chi discovered that "Chi" was what Qin Xu called him.He felt that it was a bit too intimate to call it a single character, but correcting him made him seem too serious.

That night, Zuo Chi received a message from Qin Xu, asking him what advice he had for tomorrow's date.

Zuo Chi stared at the word "date" in a daze.

Qin Xu: I heard from Qin Xuan that you know Taekwondo, do you want to go to the Taekwondo gym?

Zuo Chi was a little surprised, but he preferred to choose sports rather than pressing the road: just go to the Taekwondo gym.

He asked one more question: What else did Qin Xuan say?

Zuo Chi didn't know if Qin Xu knew that he was almost engaged to Qin Rui.Thinking of what Qin Xuan said at the funeral of Mr. Qin, Zuo Chi didn't have a good impression of him.

Qin Xu: He said he was your classmate in high school, and that you got good grades in school.But I have a question.

Zuo Chi: Huh?

Qin Xu: I seem to be half a month younger than Qin Xuan, why does Qin Xuan call you sister-in-law?

Zuo Chi got the answer, Qin Xu didn't know about his unsettled marriage with Qin Rui.He even suspected that Qin Xu didn't know much about the situation of the Qin family, otherwise how could he have anything to do with Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan must have done it on purpose.

Qin Xu: I remember that sister-in-law is "brother's lover", right?

Qin Xu: But the seniority in China is really complicated, and I'm not too sure.

Zuo Chi tried to fool him: Well, seniority is indeed complicated, and Qin Xuan may not have figured it out.

Qin Xu: ...

Qin Xu: You are so cute.

Being praised for being cute for the second time in one day, Zuo Chi was very puzzled: Did you misunderstand the meaning of the word cute?

Qin Xu: I was born in China. I went to Germany with my mother and father when I was six years old. I would go back to China with my father every two years. Because my mother can also speak Chinese, we often communicate in Chinese at home.

Qin Xu: Chi, my Chinese is pretty good.

Qin Xu: Cute is cute. Has no one ever praised you for being cute?

No.

Zuo Chi thought inappropriately, only someone said that he is not like an Omega.
