Chapter 48 2/2

I fooled myself several times.

Moreover, this script is really asking for trouble. But if Lu Jing acts, Cen Lang will be in a sorry state if he doesn’t fight back.

“No need,” Jiang Li said. “Just change the order. If I meet you in the restaurant and know the dungeon is yours, that’s enough.” Cen Lang: “If it’s me, you’re willing. Do you like me?”

Jiang Li: “Friends can also go to great lengths for each other.”

Cen Lang: “How about we just pretend to be a couple?”

Jiang Li: “Lu Jing will know we’re not.”

Cen Lang regretted, “Do I get nothing out of this?”

Jiang Li pursed his lips.

Cen Lang: “If you take the initiative to kiss me, I’ll follow your script.”

Jiang Li, being rational, said, “If you disagree, I can say I had a previous boyfriend, and the child is not yours.” Cen Lang: “…”

Frustrated, he could imagine Jiang using the same tactics to fool his father. Jiang Wanlan and Lu Jing would definitely believe.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wanlan still squatted on the ground, soaked through, water dripping from his clothes.

Lu Jing said, “Go back and take a shower. Jiang Li is fastidious; when he and Cen Lang crash-landed on the desolate star, there wasn’t enough water for a bath, so Cen Lang contacted the base and asked me to pick him up.”

Concerning the child, Lu Jing spoke each word carefully. He knew Jiang Wanlan wanted to hear more.

“I’ll go take a shower,” Jiang Wanlan said, raising his head. He found Lu Jing knew a lot, and he wanted to hear more news, but time was limited.

Lu Jing said, “Hmm.”

Jiang Wanlan turned around, saw Lu Jing still standing there, and said, “Change into something nice too.” Lu Jing looked at his security uniform and said, “I’ll go change.” Jiang Wanlan, word by word, said, “I have clothes here. Don’t you understand?”

“Come to my room to wash; I have something to ask you.”

Lu Jing followed, “Okay.”

Jiang Wanlan quickly showered, pulled out a large box from under the bed, opened it, and found a set of clothes to throw to Lu Jing. Lu Jing caught the clothes, glanced at the box, and discovered that it was the clothes Jiang Wanlan took from their small home more than twenty years ago.

The top set was his.

The rest were all children’s clothes.

At that time, Jiang Wanlan loved buying clothes for the baby. When he asked Lu Jing which one was good, Lu Jing always said they were all good.

Wherever Jiang Wanlan lived, he would bring this box. He hadn’t dared to open it for a long time. He said somewhat absent-mindedly, “All too small.” Lu Jing hesitated, “Not necessarily.”

Jiang Wanlan asked, “What do you want to say?”

Lu Jing thought of Jiang Li’s reaction when the battleship shook in the sink, which was very similar to Jiang Wanlan’s reaction when he was pregnant with him. But… No father would spread rumors of his son being unmarried and pregnant in uncertain situations.

“It’s nothing.”

Jiang Wanlan said, “By the way, he is…”

Lu Jing: “Beta, appearance is up to you.”

Jiang Wanlan propped up his chin, wanting a current photo but also wanting to save the first glance for their meeting. “You said he’s fastidious. Is my place clean enough?” Jiang Wanlan looked for a mop everywhere.

Lu Jing: “Clean. Just sit and wait.”

“Jiang Li is excellent and easy to get along with; he won’t impose his fastidiousness on others. When we were on the desolate star, he wanted to stay and repair the battleship with Cen Lang.”

Jiang Wanlan noticed that Cen Lang’s presence was quite frequent. “Cen Lang…”

“He is pursuing your son.”

Jiang Wanlan wasn’t surprised. Months ago, when Cen Lang introduced him to the adenoma drug, his tone made Jiang Wanlan feel that he liked Jiang Li very much. Otherwise, why go through the trouble? He could easily donate the billion in his own name instead of finding a patient who needed the drug to sponsor it.

“The call just now was answered by Cen Lang. Wait… What about Cen Lang’s pheromone storm?”

Lu Jing fell silent for a moment. Cen Lang had a lot of unresolved matters when they returned. “He said he wants Plato, and if that doesn’t work, remove the adenoma.”

Jiang Wanlan was still a bit worried, but trusting Cen Lang’s character and self-control, he called the cafeteria and ordered a table of food to be brought over. Lu Jing took a combat shower and changed into the clothes from twenty-five years ago—a suit that Jiang Wanlan had bought for him. Time flew by, and he hadn’t worn a suit for more than twenty years.

Jiang Wanlan’s gaze stayed on Lu Jing. This silent and reserved Alpha seemed unchanged, or perhaps there were changes. He now carried many old wounds, each one deep to the bone.

Jiang Wanlan shifted his gaze away, suddenly remembering something. He took out the adenoma drug developed by Jiang Fu from the drawer and quickly scanned the instructions before taking it according to the correct method.

He took out two more pills and hid them, showing that he had been taking them for a while.

Lu Jing: “You…”

Jiang Wanlan said, “Don’t say anything.”

Lu Jing kept quiet.

Jiang Wanlan never expected that the developer of the adenoma drug introduced to him by Cen Lang was his son. He had been given the chance by fate three months ago.

Of course, Lu Jing had also been given a chance.

They both missed it, and in the end, an outsider had to inform them. Lu Jing’s expression stiffened. “Maybe soon I won’t be an outsider.” Jiang Wanlan was stunned. “Our son, is he easy to pursue?”

Lu Jing: “Not easy. He hasn’t agreed.” But that’s Cen Lang.

Lu Jing fell silent. How should he put it? Under Cen Lang’s interference, it was challenging to steadfastly return to their original lives.

Even he was like this. How long could Jiang Li endure? From Jiang Li’s desire to stay with Cen Lang on the desolate star to repair the battleship, it was evident that he had some feelings.

Suddenly, why did he feel like fighting?

There was a helipad on the rooftop, and Jiang Wanlan went to the rooftop with Lu Jing to wait for them. A white aircraft approached from afar and landed on the helipad after circling twice. You couldn’t stand too close during pick-up; you had to wait until the power was off.

Jiang Wanlan almost wanted to rush forward. Through the window, he saw Cen Lang helping up a figure with a beautiful and clean side profile. In his eyes, it gradually overlapped with the image of his milk-drunk child from childhood.

Growing up should be like this.

Jiang Wanlan’s eyes were misty, and he blinked. Did he cry? Why did Jiang Li seem pregnant? He didn’t mention it on the phone.

“You said he was pursuing him?” Jiang Wanlan weakly grabbed Lu Jing’s arm. “Did I see wrong? He seems to be at least five months pregnant.”

Lu Jing also saw it, and his pupils contracted.

“You didn’t see it wrong.”

Jiang Wanlan: “Cen Lang doesn’t have a pheromone storm.” Can you go to bed during the pursuit stage? “The child is not his.” Lu Jing frowned tightly.

Jiang Wanlan:???
